BAD WOLVES Guitarist AJ Rebollo Quits Over Controversial Dolly Parton Cover
Rebollo said he could not remain in the band after the label moved ahead with a cover he said could profit from Parton’s death.
- On Friday, guitarist Rebollo announced he is stepping away from Bad Wolves, citing the label's decision to release a cover of a late Dolly Parton song against the band's wishes.
- Rebollo accused Better Noise Music of acting with "ill intent" by proceeding with the cover despite the band's opposition to avoid any perception of capitalizing on Parton's death at 80.
- The band told the label they had no interest in releasing the cover, as they originally intended to record it as a duet with Dolly Parton, making collaboration no longer possible.
- Better Noise Music confirmed the song will release on Monday , with proceeds directed to the Imagination Library initiative despite the band's opposition.
- Rebollo described leaving as "terrifying" but necessary to preserve his passion, sacrificing stability amid Bad Wolves' history of significant turnover in membership.
