The Black Crowes break up

The San Jose Mercury News reports:

The Black Crowes have called it quits.

"It is with great disappointment and regret that after having the privilege of writing and performing the music of the Black Crowes over the last 24 years, I find myself in the position of saying that the band has broken up." guitarist Rich Robinson said in a statement.

"I hold my time with the Black Crowes with the utmost respect and sincerest appreciation. It is a huge swath of my life's body of work. I couldn't be more proud of what we accomplished and deeply moved by the relationships people created and maintained with my music. That alone is the greatest honor of being a musician."

Robinson indicated the split came after his brother, singer Chris Robinson, made demands he couldn't accept.
