Following their announcement , which states that Grönwall has stepped aside to focus on recovery after receiving treatment for leukemia and a bone marrow transplant only six months before joining the group, Skid Row revealed that Halestorm's epic frontwoman Lzzy Hale would be filling in on a few of their scheduled dates. Also, in celebration of Erik's time with the band, Skid Row plans on releasing a live album “that perfectly captures this moment” in their 35+ year history.

Lzzy is thrilled to be taking over Erik's duties for their upcoming dates in May and June, and while offering up her own statement regarding the news she shared : "This is totally wild! I can’t believe my VHS audition tape finally made it in the mail! ( I kid, I kid).”

Hale continues, "I started listening Skid Row when I was a teenager growing up on the east coast in central Pennsylvania. They were one of the Only bands at that time that truly bridged the gap for my love of 80s big choruses and riffs, but had the same poignant dirt and grime that was seeping into the cracks of my mind during the 90s. By the early 00s Halestorm was well coming into its own, inspired by these powerful songs that helped me unlock a door within myself as a young musician. I can say without a second thought that if it weren’t for Skid Row in my bones, I would not be the rocker I am today."

"This summer," says Hale, "my world turns full circle. Because not only am I able to share the stage as acting front person for this integral band, but even more importantly, I get to call these boys my chosen family... Love you guys! There will be blood left on the stage!" See Lzzy's full statement .
