Blood, Sweat & Tears name is owned by the drummer Bobby Colomby, he no longer tours with the band and simply picks out the players. This happens a lot more than you think, Grand Funk Railroad name is owned by the drummer Don Brewer, he and the original bassist perform under the name, but the guitarist and lead vocalist Mark Farner is not in the band anymore, not since 1998. They had a falling out and Mark went his separate way and performs solo.
Blood, Sweat & Tears did have a great following and put on a really good show up until last year. Bo Bice, who was an American Idol runner up to Carrie Underwood sounded just like David Clayton Thomas and was the lead singer of BS&T for five years. They put on a terrific show in TV two years ago. Many people were fooled this last time, but Bo left the group not long before this last appearance. Probaby because this Bobby Colomby doesn't care about the fans, he sold the opening act to Roy Firestone so he could sell his marketing plan, it's all for the money with that band.
Here, check out BS&T with Bo Bice.
