Bad Wolves Dropped from Skillet Tour: Nashville’s Own Drama Unfolds

It’s been a rough week for Bad Wolves, the LA metal band that recently welcomed Sara “Killboy” Skinner as their new lead vocalist. Following the release of their single “Paint It Red,” the band was set to hit the road with Skillet and Escape The Fate, with the tour kicking off in Nashville. However, due to backlash from Skillet fans regarding Skinner’s background, Bad Wolves have been dropped from the tour.

In a candid video, Skinner addressed the situation, revealing that fans did their homework and raised concerns about her presence in the band. “I’m not someone who’s ever hidden who I am,” she stated, confirming the band’s exit from the tour.

But the drama doesn’t stop there. Guitarist AJ Rebollo announced his departure from Bad Wolves, citing disagreements over the release of a metal cover of Dolly Parton’s “Jolene.” Despite the band’s collective opposition to the release, the label decided to move forward, leading Rebollo to step away from the group. He expressed his frustration over the lack of creative control, emphasizing that the decision to release the cover felt exploitative following Parton’s passing.

As Bad Wolves navigate these turbulent waters, fans are left wondering what the future holds for the band.
