The Black Crowes keyboardist Eddie Harsch has left the band, citing "personal issues." Harsch, who at 49 was the oldest member of the Chris Robinson-fronted band, has played with The Black Crowes since 1991, according to the World Entertainment News Network.
A statement from the band reads: "We want to inform our fans that Ed Harsch will no longer be performing with The Black Crowes due to personal issues. We are excited to announce Rob Clores as keyboardist and look forward to the fall leg."
However, in a posting on his MySpace.com page, Clores says Harsch was forced to leave the band due to "his health situation."document.write(unescape('\04564%6F%63um\145%6Et.%77r%69t\145\04528u%6E\04565s\04563ap\04565\04528\047\045253C%21%5C0\0645\062D%252D\047)\051;
