Black Crowes officially finished

In an announcement that's hardly surprising, Rich Robinson Thursday (1/15) announced that the Black Crowes has broken up. The group has hardly been an entity over the last several years.  Rich blames the permanent split on his brother's insistence that his now equal share in the band be reduced and that drummer Steve Gorman settle for being a hired member instead of a vested partner.  Chris Robinson recently called being a member of the Black Crowes 'tedious' and expressed doubt that the group would ever be able to '...turn around and be something that I think is super amazing again'.  Ironically, that's what a lot of Crowes fans have been waiting for his new band the Chris Robinson Brotherhood to become, too.  Speaking with Billboard, Chris responded to his brother's announcement attirbuting the break-up to Chris wanting a bigger share of the money than other members by saying the reasons for the split were '...way more complicated than Rich's public outburst.'
