Legendary guitarist George Lynch announced the end of Lynch Mob’s touring career in a statement on Facebook. The band delivered their final performance at a sold-out concert at the Medina Entertainment Center in Minnesota.
“Well, last night was our last show as Lynch Mob,” Lynch stated. “We played Medina Entertainment Center in Minnesota which we’ve played many, many times. It was a wonderful sold-out show and everyone in the house was aware of the gravity and finality of the performance. With the help of my old friend [Brian Tichy] on drums the band stepped up and bared our souls for one last performance.”
“I’m going to miss my brothers in arms deeply,” he continued. “My band has always been a second family to me and there’s a bond there that transcends time and space. I feel it’s fitting to turn the page on this chapter of my musical journey after 35 years of Lynch Mob. I wish the best for Gabriel, Jimmy and Jaron moving forward and I look forward to whatever the universe holds in store for me. Thank you so much to all our fans for 35 wonderful years.”
