UK rock legends
BAD COMPANY and
Lynyrd Skynyrd have announced a
co-headlining tour celebrating 40 years of rocking. The trek will
consist of 12 dates which will be boosted with individual headline dates
that are yet to be determined.
Bad Company singer
Paul Rodgers (FREE, QUEEN) comments: “The
Skynyrds and I go back to the 70’s and the days and nights at the Hyatt
House on Sunset in LA aka the Riot House. In the 90’s, the band
introduced me to my wife Cynthia, and that’s why I am so damned happy
and healthy these years.”
Lynyrd Skynyrd’s
Johnny Van Zant adds: “Every member of Skynyrd has
been fans of Bad Company from the get go. Personally, Paul is one of my
favorite rock singers. We have a deep appreciation for Bad Company’s
music and look forward to being on the road with them and sharing the
stage.”
