Rock legends and pioneers Bad Company are touring this summer in celebration of their 40th anniversary, the tour named as such. The 30-date tour will take Bad Company across the country between June 15 and September 29 with 14 dates co-headlined with Lynyrd Skynyrd.
Vocalist Paul Rodgers recently shared, “The Skynyrds and I go back to the 70’s and the days and nights at the Hyatt House on Sunset in LA, aka the Riot House. In the 90’s, the band introduced me to my wife Cynthia, and that’s why I am so damned happy and healthy these years.”
“Every member of Skynyrd has been fans of Bad Company from the get go,” Lynyrd Skynyrd’s Johnny Van Zant. “Personally, Paul is one of my favorite rock singers. We have a deep appreciation for Bad Company’s music and look forward to being on the road with them and sharing the stage.”
In preparation for the tour, Bad Company will be making their network late night television debut Monday, June 10 on The Tonight Show with Jay Leno. Tuesday, the band will be featured guests at The Grammy Museum in Los Angeles for a rare Q&A with their fans with an intimate set. The event at The Grammy Museum sold out within five minutes.
