Black Star Riders are pleased to announce the replacement for guitarist Christian Martucci, who departed the band earlier this year. The American hard rockers welcome Sam Wood (Wayward Sons) as the new permanent member.

Ricky Warwick comments: "I first saw Sam back in 2019 when Wayward Sons were guests to Black Star Riders and I was absolutely blown away! I had Sam join me for some Fighting Hearts dates a few months back and knew he was the guy for us. If ever there was a new Guitar Hero waiting in the wings, then it’s Sam! Black Star Riders have had some of the world’s finest guitar players in their ranks and Sam is truly up there as one of them. We couldn’t be happier!"
