LOS ANGELES (AP) - Keyboardist Ed Harsch is no longer a part of the Black Crowes.
Harsch was "released" from the rock band because of "personal issues," according to a statement issued by the group's publicist, Mitch Schneider.
Harsch joined the band in 1991.
He will be replaced on the Black Crowes' fall tour - which begins in Richmond, Virginia, on Sept. 7 - by Rob Clores, who has played with the John Popper Band and other blues artists.
The band has delayed the release of its new double album The Lost Crowes.
Originally scheduled to hit stores Tuesday, a "recently discovered manufacturing error" has caused the record's release to be postponed until Sept. 26.

LOS ANGELES – Twice The Black Crowes have recorded albums that were never officially released: Tall in 1993 and Band in 1997. While a few songs from these lost albums were rerecorded and released on studio albums, many have emerged only through the band's legendary live shows. The Black Crowes recently went into the vault, collecting the best moments from those abandoned sessions for a special treat for their longtime fans. Titled THE LOST CROWES, it is a two-disc set of unreleased music that has been remixed for its public debut on Rhino. The compilation will be available August 29 at all retail outlets and at www.rhino.com for a suggested retail price of $24.98. The same day, the band's 1992 home video, WHO KILLED THAT BIRD OUT ON YOUR WINDOW SILL, will make its DVD debut on Rhino Home Video for a suggested retail price of $14.99.
In fall of 1993 vocalist Chris Robinson, guitarists Rich Robinson and Marc Ford, drummer Steve Gorman, bassist Johnny Colt, and keyboardist Ed Harsch recorded more than 30 songs at Conway Studios in Los Angeles. Working on the follow-up to Southern Harmony And Musical Companion, the band descended into an emotional, startlingly heavy creative patch that became a stepping-stone to the 1994 album, amorica.
Named after an old jazz term for getting high, the Tall sessions contain a total of 16 unreleased tracks that offer an unflinching glimpse into rough and beautiful music born from turmoil and tension. THE LOST CROWES includes early versions of seven amorica songs such as "A Conspiracy," "Descending," "Wiser Time" and "Cursed Diamond." The collection also features the undiscovered classics "Tied Up And Swallowed," "Feathers," "Thunderstorm 654" and "Lowdown," a sad lost anthem that became "Ballad In Urgency."
Four years later, the band came off the road after headlining the Furthur Festival and went into a Nashville studio to record songs for a planned follow-up to 1996's acclaimed Three Snakes & One Charm. Where Tall thrives on the mayhem of their young Los Angeles days, Band confidently probes some of The Black Crowes' most mature, thoughtful work.
The Band sessions contain 10 songs including a different version of the B-side "Peace Anyway," plus "If It Ever Stops Raining," a song that would become the title-track to the 1999 album By Your Side. The compilation also spotlights the taut riff rock of "Paint An 8," the windblown ache of "Wyoming & Me" along with the freaky-longhaired-Mother Earth grooves of "Another Roadside Tragedy," "Grinnin" and "Life Vest."
Paul Stacey has remixed all of the music on THE LOST CROWES, which also includes liner notes spotlighting the stories behind these legendary lost sessions as told by the Robinsons.
The Black Crowes released its first home video, WHO KILLED THAT BIRD OUT ON YOUR WINDOW SILL, in 1992 while touring for the band's sophomore album. Rhino Home Video will release a remastered and expanded version of the video on DVD that features live performances, interviews, backstage and studio footage, videos from the group's first two albums, and additional bonus features.

I heard it was because they found out his real name is Ed Hawrysch.
