As previously reported, singer Tony Harnell posted a tweet stating that he is no longer the singer in Skid Row. In response to Harell’s tweet, Skid Row have posted the following statement on their Facebook page:
“To the Skid Row faithful,
As you may know, Tony Harnell quit the band yesterday. We found out about his decision the same way all of you did, via his post on social media. He had posted that he was no longer in the band before informing the band personally.
The last we spoke with Tony was on Dec 17th. He was in the hospital being treated for “bronchitis with asthmatic symptoms.” We were all very concerned and offered any assistance we could to help him get healthy. Due to his condition we were forced to cancel our show in Chicago on Dec. 19th. The next time we heard anything was his post yesterday.
That being said, we are all moving forward and wish Tony the best in his future endeavors.
Lastly, amidst all of the rumors and speculation, there has been no talk of a reunion nor are we opening for Guns N Roses.
That’s it for now. We’ll keep you updated as best we can.
Thanks for your support and understanding. See you in 2016!”

So much for the idea that Harnell was an alternative to Bach’s self-centered dramatics.
…”The last we spoke with Tony was on Dec 17th. He was in the hospital being treated for “bronchitis with asthmatic symptoms.”
So nobody checked up on him when he left the hospital, or spoke to him on Christmas? Wow, that does not seem like a tight knit group. I can see why TH felt “Disrespected and Ignored”.
Wow, what is it going to take for these guys to wise up?!
They will wise up when the money stops coming in…stay by the phone Bach…
Well seeing that they are already playing some places for free I would say it stopped coming in a long time ago.
Back to TNT perhaps for Tony?? Again?
Skid Row…struggling to remain relevant.
Seriously though, I don’t see the point of Skid Row without Bach. Sorry, I don’t get it. It’s not like they were a band with the talent of Van Halen that was able to move beyond their iconic lead singer leaving and still be very successful.
Time to hang it up and live off those sweet royalty checks from Spotify.
DUDE HOW SICK WOULD THAT BE THOE?????????
IF THIS HAPPENED CAUSE BACH IS COMIGN BACK AND THERE OPENING UP
FOR GUNS AND ROSES THAT WOULD BE LIKE SO COOL !!!!!!
THAT WOULD BE SO MUCH MONEY FOR THEM 3 MILLION A SHOW PROBALLY
LIKE 6 MILLION A SHOW PLUS WITH ORIGINAL SKID ROW LINE UP
ADDED
AND ALL THEY HAVE TO DO IS PUT THERE DUMBASS ROCKSTAR EGO DIFFRENCES ASIDE FOR A YEAR OR 2 LOL
ID SAY LETS F-KING DO IT
“6 million” if Skid Row were added? HA HA HA HA HA that is downright HILARIOUS. Skid Row are lucky if they get to shine Axl’s shoes. What planet do YOU live on?
