About

Bad Company were an English rock supergroup formed in London in 1973 by singer Paul Rodgers and drummer Simon Kirke, both formerly of Free, guitarist Mick Ralphs from Mott the Hoople, and bassist Boz Burrell, formerly of King Crimson. Kirke was the only member to remain throughout the band's entire run, while he and Ralphs were the only members to appear on every studio album. The band was managed by Peter Grant, known for managing Led Zeppelin, until 1982. Burrell died in 2006 and Ralphs in 2025, leaving Kirke and Rodgers as the surviving original members. Bad Company achieved commercial success in the 1970s. Their first three albums, "Bad Company" (1974), "Straight Shooter" (1975), and "Run with the Pack" (1976), reached the top five on the album charts in both the UK and US. Popular songs include "Bad Company", "Can't Get Enough", "Feel Like Makin' Love", "Shooting Star", "Burnin' Sky", and "Rock 'n' Roll Fantasy". The band has sold 20 million RIAA-certified albums in the US and 40 million worldwide. Initially disbanding in 1982, they reunited intermittently to record and tour until 2019, when Rodgers suffered a major stroke. In 2023, Kirke stated the band would not continue due to Rodgers' health issues. Bad Company were inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in 2025. The original Paul Rodgers era (1973–1982) saw the band signed to Swan Song Records/Atlantic Records in North America and Island Records elsewhere. Their 1974 debut album, "Bad Company", reached number one on the Billboard 200 and number three on the UK Albums Chart. It was certified five times platinum in the US. Subsequent albums included "Straight Shooter" (1975), "Run with the Pack" (1976), "Burnin' Sky" (1977), and "Desolation Angels" (1979).
