The 67-year-old crooner, famed for hits like Sweet Caroline, [Love on the Rocks,] and Cracklin' Rosie, will play the event on Sunday.

Sources tell E! Online that the Material Girl was paid $10 million to appear in a new advertising campaign for Sunsilk hair-care products, including a commercial that will premiere during the the fourth quarter of Sunday's game between the New England Patriots and New York Giants (most of whom do not make $10 million in an entire season).

Donald Stanley Pavel was born in 1947 in St. Paul, MN to Edna and Stanley Pavel. He has been a musical partner of Warren Nelson's since the mid 70s and was a founding member of Lost Nation String Band and Big Top's Blue Canvas Orchestra. He was a Veteran of the Vietnam War from 1966 to 1972.

He is survived by his loving partner Therene Gazdik, two sons: Mason and Ira Pavel and Mason's wife Rachel, and one sister: Barbara Pavel Jurek. Warren Nelson says of his dear friend "we always said the show would go on and so it will. The picnic of our music is all laid over the fabric of Don's playing."

The jazz musician has been releasing albums of cover songs since 2002 - and decided to leave the firm in favour of specialist label Concord Records after executives refused to allow him to record his own compositions for his next LP.

The group have since posted the following update:

today was to be a day of celebration. it still can be; but, not for the same reason. i would once turn red from such an electrical surge as having a record on the way to the stores, $3,000,000 behind me in marketing and tour support and the president of the record label, and the manager of my career, making frantic phone calls on my behalf-trying to get me on the letterman show. "what will people think about the record?" talking to myself became casual parlance on the eve of record releases. not to mention preparing a new band for the album release party. an event where the "stars" of hollywood would line up against the south wall of the Roxy on sunset to get in and watch me sweat while they attempted to talk louder than our amplifiers could turn up.

but, not this time. 'Popular' is not on its way to the store. it is sitting in a box in my flat in LA, on 1/2 inch reels down in the blue note basement in new york and on about 30 laptops across this country and england - fans who spent anywhere from $30 to $70 to hear what i was thinking 15 months ago.

It's no surprise that the British press have now showered Jaymay with praise and adoration over these past months as she's worked her way across the land with an impressive array of touring buddies including Bright Eyes, Jose Gonzales, Teddy Thompson, Laura Veirs, Isobel Campbell, Elvis Perkins, and Okkervil River.

The band adds: "We are stoked to work with Brian and Pluto Records. We've been fans of the label for years, and we are really excited to now be a part of that family and great roster of bands."

I can't believe I am finally siding with Britney Spears, but on the other hand, I never thought this whole Paparazzi hurricane- which is almost SOLELY responsible for her multi-chapter meltdown- would lead me to throw some respect K-Fed's way. You almost have to, if only for the fact that he is being a stable figure in his children's lives. The real evil here isn't entirely the Paparazzi either, they have a not-so-silent partner in that sad portion of the American public who are so bored with their own lives that they live vicariously through the dramas of Britney Spears, Paris Hilton, or Lindsay Lohan.

Sadly, this is not a recent phenomenon, although the caliber of gossip-worthy targets has moved down a few notches from the A-List heydays of the 20s with Howard Hughes, or the 50s with Elvis and the Rat Pack, or 60s and 70s with the Rolling Stones or John Lennon and Yoko Ono� Instead, in the new millennium, D-List has-beens, or never-would-have-beens (were it not for America's obsession with Reality TV i.e. Paris Hilton and Nicole Ritchie) dominate our pop-culture. Its indicative of an overall shift from MTV primarily playing MUSIC VIDEOS to the present dominance of REALITY TV programming.
