Former Black Crowes guitarist Rich Robinson will join Bad Company on their upcoming tour with Joe Walsh as the band announced that guitarist Mick Ralphs will sit out this tour.

“The travel required to do these dates is something I’m just not feeling up for at the moment,” Ralphs said in a statement. “I’m glad the band found Rich to take my place for this run, I’m sure he’ll be great. See you all again soon.”

“I’m excited to be joining Bad Company as their special guest on tour this summer,” Robinson said. “One of my favorite bands growing up was Free. I’ve been a big fan of Paul Rodgers and his work throughout his career—from Bad Company and beyond—and Simon Kirke is one of my all time favorite drummers. To be able to play with Paul and Simon is such an honor.”

The run begins May 12 in Dallas, TX.
