California Breed, the band initially consisting of bassist and vocalist Glenn Hughes, guitarist and vocalist Andrew Watt, and drummer Jason Bonham and then Bonhams’s subsequently replaced by Joey Castillo, have posted the following message on their Facebook page:
“The band is over…what a logo though right?”
Andrew Watt elaborated further on the situation by saying, “To the California Breed fans here…I put everything I had into this band…all I can say is I was in it for the long hall…I have a lot of new music for you guys…going to be announcing my plans soon…I cannot tell you how much I appreciate you supporting us, buying our music, coming to our shows…this is not the end…it is truly the beginning…cannot wait to continue the quest to bring rock n roll back to the people that are hungry for it…what an amazing learning experience for me here and introduction to an amazing world of people and fans that share love for the same thing.”

Surprised?
I hate to say it but it’s not like we didn’t see that coming. Glenn should just do a solo rock record, get a great backing band and do a solo tour. That way it really doesn’t matter as much when musicians leave his band, he can just replace them and keep going. He obviously wants to be part of a “band” himself but it’s obviously not working. He’s been in two bands within the last five years and they both broke up.
Does this surprise anyone??
Another example of why it is hard to be interested in these “super groups”.
Well said!
Glenn must be a nightmare to work with.
