Robbie Crane: RATT is on Indefinite Hiatus

RATTAfter rumors of being fired from RATT, bassist Robbie Crane responded by stating that the iconic glam metal band is on “indefinite hiatus.” He responded to a question from the bloggers at Metal Sludge:

“As far as I’m concerned there is no Ratt to be ‘fired’ from as Ratt is on an indefinite hiatus as we’ve finished the Infestation tour in Japan last week… Warren has dates with his and Dee Schnider’s Christmas band, Stephen has 4 to 6 months of solo dates, Carlos is working with Rudy and Vinny on an awesome new project and I’m touring with Lynch Mob over the next couple of months… Thanks for the concern…”

The band, which released their latest album Infestation in April, is no stranger to turmoil, having gone through several breakups and lineup changes before. Crane is the band’s fourth bassist, and has been with the group since 1996.
