Ratt frontman Stephen Pearcy has released the following statement:
“After 30 years creating the band Ratt and losing a real brother, Robbin, it’s time that I personally part ways with the band.
I am officially done with having anything to do with them due to the constant turmoil, unresolved business, personal attacks/threats in the public forum, and most of all, the disrespect to the fans.
I’m very content and proud of the legacy and the music I’ve created. This music will live well beyond any of our lifetimes.
I owe no one anything but a huge heartfelt thank you for coming to the party for the last 30 years.
With much respect, life goes on and the music I created will continue to be heard for years to come despite the dark clouds that have lingered for far too long.
I will personally continue to make music and perform live shows.
See you out there.
Sincerely,
SEPearcy”
Ratt’s last album was 2010′s Infestation.

the only concert I went Ratt was here in Monterrey Mexico, Stephen was drunk more than a bottle of whiskey.
he fell from the stage. could not continue singing.
I had to continue the show John Corabi.
Just not the same without the late Robbin Crosby.
Lack of communication, back off
I saw RATT twice in their heyday…worst band live Ive ever seen…horrible…I quit buying their albums…after the first two…they were dogshit anyway.
The fact is Pearcy never truly had an exceptional voice and later in his career has no voice left. His arrogant attitude doesn’t help his cause either. They were a great studio produced band but live left you very disappointed.
