Sour Temp |
KNAC reports: Roadrunner Records has issued
the following Stone Sour update from guitarist Josh Rand:
...two weeks into the recording of the
drums Joel (Ekman) would have to leave the project and return home to his
family. His nine-year-old son is very sick. He was diagnosed with Brain
Stem Glioma (brain cancer) last fall. With the fate of the record now up
in the air a decision had to be made: postpone the record or bring in someone
to finish the drum tracks. So with Joel's blessing, Roy Mayorga (ex-SOULFLY)
will finish the drum tracks as we move forward.[see full story for more]-

Payoff |
TMZ reports: TMZ reviewed court transcripts
from a hearing last June. Jackson's lawyer, Thomas Hall, told Judge Stephen
Lachs, "Mr. Jackson was under an agreement with Petitioner (Rowe) here,
which he was to pay her -- did pay her about four or five million dollars
up front, gave her a mansion in Beverly Hills, and then was to pay $900,000
a year for a number of years if she abided by agreement terms."
Jackson stopped paying Rowe her annual
stipend after claiming she violated their confidentiality agreement by
publically speaking about him. The dispute is ongoing.[see full story for
