Bad Wolves Just Lost Another Member and This Time Over a Dolly Parton Cover

Bad Wolves guitarist AJ Rebollo has quit the band due to the death of Dolly Parton and a cover of "Jolene." 

On Friday AJ posted a message on social media explaining his reason for leaving the group after two years. He says it comes down to what he claims is "ill intent" from the record label, Better Noise Music, for releasing the group's "Jolene" cover song days after Dolly died from a brief battle with cancer. 

AJ says Dolly was supposed to add vocals to Bad Wolves version of "Jolene," but sadly passed before it could happen. AJ said he and his bandmates wanted to keep the project unreleased since Dolly could no longer work with them, but the record label released the song anyway despite pushback from Bad Wolves.

And this whole thing is kinda interesting when you remember "Zombie." Dolores O'Riordan was supposed to sing on that cover too, died before she could, and they released it four days later. Same record company, by the way. Back then, Bad Wolves said it was a joint decision with the label and turned it into a tribute for her kids. So I'm not saying it's the same situation but it has me scratching my head...

Their new singer, Sara 'Killboy' Skinner, is actually singing the cover. She's a huge Dolly fan and that's apparently how the whole thing started.
