During a recent live stream on his official YouTube channel, Erik Grönwall talked about his solo career after the Skid Row departure.
“Okay, let’s start with the bad news,” the singer started his words. “The company that I did the first vinyl with, they went bankrupt and then I found another company and I paid them and everything.”
He continued, “Then, they went bankrupt and took my money with it and then I was like feeling a bit defeated. And then, a friend of mine, the distributor that I’m working with, he was like, ‘I have a connection. I can hook you up.’
“So, he did and he saved the day. So we will have vinyl ‘Eriksplanations Volume 2’ coming in January. Members, you will have early access as usual,” Grönwall then revealed.
In October, Grönwall shared a song that was meant for a Skid Row album. The musician wrote in an Instagram post, “In August 2022, my producer Jona Tee and I wrote three potential songs for a new Skid Row album while I was still in the band.”
“Although I don’t think this particular song would have made it onto the album, and since that album definitely won’t happen, I thought it might be fun to share this demo with you all instead,” Erik further shared.
He also added, “Please note that this is a demo Jona and I produced and no Skid Row members are playing on this demo. A special thanks to all the fans who helped me put this video together. Full version on YT.”
Skid Row parted with Grönwall in March 2024 after finishing postponed shows. Grönwall said he left to focus on his health and recovery after battling leukemia and having a stem cell transplant in 2021.
Erik will join Michael Schenker on his spring 2025 European tour. Schenker is touring for his new album ‘My Years With UFO.’ Grönwall is featured on the song ‘Mother Mary’ from the album, which also includes Slash from Guns N’ Roses.
