Back in March, Skid Row announced they amicably parted ways with singer Erik Grönwall. At the same time, they announced that longtime friend Lzzy Hale of Halestorm would be taking over vocal duties for the band's scheduled four concerts.

With the four shows now under her belt - the last one on June 1st in Sacramento, CA at Hard Rock Live - Lzzy took to social media on June 3rd and shared the following message along with some photos:

"My soul is still buzzing from the crazy ride I was just on. Thank you so much to Rachel, Snake, Scotti, Rob, their amazing crew and the entire Skid Row fan base for putting your trust in me. Thank you for bringing me into your tribe, and allowing me to live inside your legacy for a moment.

What started out as friends helping out friends, bloomed into something bigger than any of us could've imagined. I'm overflowing with gratitude. This experience of getting to deep dive into Skid Row has given me a rare opportunity to deepen my love for these men I get to call friends. And the soul bonding moments we created together musically will live with me forever.

And even though this particular time in my life prevents me from committing to a permanent role in Skid Row…I am sending in my official request to the universe that we will be able to join forces again down the road.

With Love and Loud Music, Lzzy Hale".

Lzzy Hale shared the following message via social media after the news broke that she would be fronting Skid Row.

"This is totally wild! I can't believe my VHS audition tape finally made it in the mail! (I kid, I kid)

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.

And this summer, 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. No matter how much we both tour, or how much time has gone by, we light up when we see each other. They have seen me through my rollercoaster ride of ups and downs, all while cheering me on. Time, space, history, age are all relative, irrelevant and elastic 'cuz we are all just astronauts cut from the same cloth, worshipping the same magic that is this music. I'm so grateful for their support of me in my career, and as a fellow human.

Love you guys! There will be blood left on the stage!"
