The news came during an appearance on Howard Stern's SiriusXM radio show, with singer Chris Robinson pointing to his struggle with depression and the dissolution of his marriage as some of the reasons for the his nearly six-year estrangement from guitarist and brother Rich Robinson.
"I was definitely fed up with the fighting, it was unhealthy," Rich said about forming his own side projects to get away from the "constant ragging" from his brother. They admitted their strife turned into such epic battles at points that on a joint tour with Oasis back in the day, they freaked the famously battling Gallagher brothers out. "I always loved what he does, and did," Rich Robinson said of his brother.
Now, the group has posted dates for the tour on Monday morning , promising "$hake Your Money Maker -- played in its entirety plus all the hits." The brothers did not announce the lineup for the reunion shows, but assured fans, "We are the original members of the Black Crowes," possibly implying they will be performing with some new faces behind them.
theblackcrowes We want SGSFOX, Marc and Sven.
theblackcrowes It’s not the Black Crowes.
theblackcrowes Complete cash grab! You claimed John Mayer was the complete antithesis of Jerry, you now have that title. Go get your trophy at the Rock Hall of Fame while you’re at it. Sell Out.
theblackcrowes theblackcrowes Say it Ain’t So! NO STEVE GORMAN? **gasp How do you celebrate without him? 💔
theblackcrowes I can tell you that I won’t be going to see you reunite, paying a bunch of no name musicians scale so you two can make a cash grab. Bring back the originals with Ford. TBC was a band not two fighting brothers who are short on cash. scabs BlackCrowes
