BAD COMPANY To Say Goodbye?

September 23, 2010

BAD COMPANY lead singer and co-founder Paul Rodgers told Scott Smith of Times Record in a new interview that the band's concert on October 7 at The Joint inside the Hard Rock Hotel & Casino in Catoosa, Oklahoma, near Tulsa, could be the group's swan song to American fans.

"After this Tulsa show, there will be no further plans for BAD COMPANY beyond dates in Japan," said Rodgers. "I'm working on new solo material in the studio, and I've got a solo U.K. tour planned later, so I'm just seeing how it goes."

When asked what instigated Rodgers' reunion with Mick Ralphs (guitar) and Simon Kirke (drums) in 2008, the singer laughed.

"I just called Mick and asked, 'What are you up to?'" he said. "We put the band together to play the Hard Rock (in Hollywood, Fla.),and they said we should record it to DVD. We did, and it was so nice to be back together. It was fresh — we will have another DVD from our show at Wembley Arena coming out as well — so we decided to expand to more dates."
