Supergroup California Breed split

Glenn Hughes’ supergroup California Breed have split following the departure of drummer Jason Bonham. The former Deep Purple frontman revealed in November (14) that Bonham’s “other commitments” had gotten in the way of his new act’s schedule and he had to be replaced by former Queens of the Stone Age drummer Joey Castillo.
But now Hughes admits the new line-up didn’t work out.
He says, “On June 2, Jason left California Breed. We had just gone on sale with tickets for the USA and Europe tours. I felt it necessary to commit to these shows, as we had recorded an album and we needed to play and promote our work.
“Joey C came in and played drums and helped us out on tour and I am supremely grateful for this. What I couldn’t commit to was a second album. California Breed was Jason, Andrew Watt and myself, and there was no way moving forward without all three original members.”
