Metal Sludge — The new lineup of Skid Row performed their 2nd show with new frontman Erik Grönwall on Wednesday March 30th in Las Vegas.
Skid Row announced Grönwall as their new singer just 1 week earlier in an interview on a popular Sirius satellite radio show.
Grönwall who was diagnosed with ALL (acute lymphoblastic leukaemia) a year ago, told fans in a heartfelt intro to the song “18 & Life” about his battle.
“Ladies and gents, let me share a story with you guys. A year ago, I was diagnosed with Leukemia and (had) just started my first cancer treatment. One year later, I am standing here, with my favorite band of all-time, as their new lead singer.
And I know this sounds exactly like that f#@king Rock Star move, (laughing). But I’m here, and I get to perform the music I love, with the band I love. I am so f#@king honored and privileged. Thank you so much.” said Grönwall to a massive ovation from the crowd.
The band are in Las Vegas to support Scorpions for a 9 show residency at “Zappos Theatre” at Planet Hollywood.
