Wayne Static's Cause Of Death Revealed

The band will be kicking off the spring leg on May 19th in Austin, TX at the Frank Erwin Center and concluding the leg on June 7th in Green Bay, WI at the Resch Center.

Frehley tells Australia's Today show: "When I left there was a sigh of relief. I just thought I was going to end up being a statistic. By the grace of God I'm here today, clean and sober eight years. Life's never been better."

The concert will take place on August 7th at the Tom Benson Hall of Fame Stadium in Canton, OH. The 2015 Pro Football Hall of Fame Enshrinement will be taking place the next day when Jerome Bettis, Tim Brown, Charles Haley, Bill Polian, Junior Seau, Will Shields, Mick Tingelhoff, and Ron Wolf will be inducted.

Aerosmith Joe Perry had this to say, "Having grown up since the age of 2, born in Lawrence, Ma., 45 minutes from Foxborough Stadium and seen the franchise grow has been an amazing experience. As Aerosmith began traveling the world and became our own Hall of Famers, seeing the Patriots under the brilliant guidance of the Kraft family, we would hear the news of our hometown team winning again as we were doing a show in a far flung corner of the world and we would swell with pride and think, 'Ya those are our boys.' The fact that American Football is worldwide news, shows the intensity of the game and the impact of how you play it.

"On behalf of Aerosmith we would like to congratulate all of you Hall of Famers, owners, the commissioner of NFL, and of course our hometown team the Patriots. To perform this show for the Pro Football Hall of Fame and the Hall of Famers is truly a great honor. You only get here by playing the game with all of your heart and soul. So we look forward to honoring all of you with a show that comes from the same place."

Hall of Fame President David Baker says, "The Hall is thrilled to have legends of the music world honor the legends of the Game. Aerosmith performing in the inaugural Concert for Legends will add even more excitement and energy to an Enshrinement Weekend that kicks off the NFL's 96th season since its birth in Canton, and the launch to Super Bowl 50."

Also known for his collaborations with Jimi Hendrix, Eric Clapton, Stephen Stills, Jeff Beck and Linda Ronstadt, he announced last year that he'd been diagnosed with metastatic melanoma, and launched an appeal to raise funds for expenses surrounding his treatment.

Greenspoon said at the time: "I started having strange visions and sensations. My wife took me to the hospital where a CT Scan revealed a brain tumour.

Allen said: "I am not interested in endless operations. In fact is has come as a relied to know that the end is in sight. I am a great believer in 'The Will of the Way Things Are' and I also believe that the time has come to stop resisting and denying and to surrender to the way it is. I can only hope that, during this journey, I have somehow contributed to the happiness in the lives of a few other fellow humans."

The legendary guitarist and singer will turn 70 on March 30th and he announced that he will be celebrating with fans with the concerts on May 1st and 2nd. (The schedule may change to May 3rd if Madison Square Garden is needed to the hockey playoffs.)

Andy Fairweather Low and the Low Riders will open the shows and Clapton will be backed by his band: Paul Carrack, Steve Gadd, Nathan East, Chris Stainton, Sharon White and Michelle John.

Madison Square Garden holds a special place for Clapton as he has performed there 45 times during his career, more times than any other venue in the United States.

The celebration weekend will happen on May 15th, 16th and 17th and will include a public Memorial Service, the Bowl For Ronnie Celebrity Bowling Tournament and the inaugural Ride For Ronnie motorcycle ride and BBQ.

The special events will kick off on Friday May 15th with the Bowl For Ronnie Celebrity Bowling Tournament at Pinz Bowling Center in Studio City, CA.

The bowling event will also include pizza and entertainment as well as a silent auction that will features collectible bowling pins signed by Metallica, Aerosmith, Fleetwood Mac, YES, Anthrax and more that will raise money for The Ronnie James Dio Stand Up And Shout Cancer Fund. Fans can get tickets here.

The next day a free public Memorial Service is scheduled at Forest Lawn Hollywood Hills where several of Dio's former band members and friends are expected to speak and perform his music.

The final event, the Ride For Ronnie motorcycle ride and BBQ, will take place on Sunday, May 17th. The ride will kick off in Glendale and conclude at Los Encinos Historical Park in Encino where the BBQ will take place.

"I'm gonna make you/ I'm gonna break you/ I'm gonna make you/ a f-ing psycho," Matt Bellamy whispers menacingly over a grooving riff--definitely a polar opposite from their last album's first single, "Madness," or even the first-released song "Survival" for the 2012 Olympics. Call it a return to form.

Don't You Wish That We Were Dead - which also features original members Dave Vanian, Captain Sensible, Rat Scabies and Brian James - will be premiered at the SXSW festival in Texas on March 18.

Recorded on July 25 last year, the show features guest appearance by former Eagles man Don Felder. The label say: "Live At The Orleans Arena Las Vegas captures Styx bringing their stunning live show to the world's entertainment capital.

"Backed by huge video screens, the band rock their way through a string of hit songs and classic album tracks drawn from across their hugely successful career."

"It started with the idea of pride and it started with the idea of us not wanting to be what we've seen before us, which is people kinda hobbling off into the sunset," Sixx tells For Bass Players Only. "We watch it in boxing, and I've seen some of my favorite football players who should've gone away a couple seasons before. It's human nature to want to keep going, but you have to fight against the 'I'm just gonna keep doing it' when you know the possibility of not looking great on the way out. It's better to pull it in a couple years too early, and that's really what we're doing."

The Crue are roughly half way through The Final Tour, and Sixx maintains there is no chance of the band reconsidering its plans to stop touring at the end of 2015.

"For me, no, never," explains the bassist. "Every version of that question has been asked and there's all the trick questions: 'Would you do it for $100 million for five shows in Dubai?' Y'know, let's just get to the core of it: Do you want us to renege on our word? We don't want to.

"I don't need to name the bands that have. It's obvious. It's okay if they want to do that, and it's okay if their fans accept it. For us, we didn't want to do that. Plus, I have less years in front of me than I have behind me, and it's the same for all my band members. There's a track record of what we've done together, and I think we each individually want to go out and do some other stuff.

The band are sharing video from the broadcast, featuring the unveiling of the song as the winner, including interviews with Queen's Brian May and Roger Taylor, producers Tony Visconti and Roy Thomas Baker and Blondie's Chris Stein.

The Queen classic topped a viewer-voted poll ahead of songs by Abba, Simon and Garfunkel, Blondie and Kate Bush. Taken from Queen's fourth album, "A Night At The Opera," "Bohemian Rhapsody" originally reached No. 1 in the UK on November 2, 1975, when it began a 9-week run at the top, and then again on December 15, 1991 (for 5 weeks) following the passing of lead singer Freddie Mercury.

Manager Ray Danniels this week said it was "somewhere between possible and probable" that they wouldn't tour again. Lifeson tells Jam: "We're nuts. We rehearse for six weeks before the rehearsals - I'm serious.

"I've been rehearsing for three weeks now. I spend four hours, three times a week, and then the rest of the time I play for an hour to two hours. And that's just to get ready for rehearsals."

He'd refused chemotherapy after being diagnosed with cancer in 2013 and thought he was going to be killed by the tumor in his pancreas. But a pioneering procedure resulted in the all-clear being given last October.

This recording features the stripped-back version of Quo, originally revealed on last year's album Aquostic! (Stripped Bare) album. The gig was originally broadcast live on the BBC, and was the channel's highest-rating music show of 2014.

Walker believes that, although the technology offered the chance to tidy up imperfections, it made for a laborious process rather than a fun experience. Walker tells Rock Overdose (via Blabbermouth): "It started off fun - then it turned into complete torture. It took a lot longer than we expected. And gradually some of the fun we had was getting squeezed out of the sessions.

Youngblood says via the Tumblr: "Alissa toured with us for a while and I remember to the day seeing her with her previous band and thinking, 'This girl is amazing. She will and should be more known.' After getting the call from Arch Enemy, no one was happier or prouder than me. We had some songs that fit her style perfect and she graciously accepted the invite."

Yauch passed away of cancer in 2012, leading surviving members Horovitz and Michael 'Mike D' Diamond to put the outfit on a hiatus that appears to be permanent.

Since then, they've been working on a book about their career, although it's at least two years away from publication. Horovitz tells Rolling Stone: "It's like, 'What do you do with your life when your former life is no more?' I have to figure it out - I don't know if I ever will. I'm used to having other people plan stuff for me. I don't plan anything, so at some point maybe I have to start doing that."

Lodge recently explained: "Back in the 60s the Moody Blues wrote a stage show which became the album Days of Future Passed. The theme encompassed the past, present and future experiences of our lives.

"With 10,000 Light Years Ago I've continued this theme of constant evolution. Everything in the future remains in reach - and although the past is behind us, it once was our future."

Post-progressive duo Dominic Hemy and Daniel Vincent launched lead track Recursor and three accompanying pieces in October, with the full LP expected in the first quarter of 2015.

Bonamassa is to launch an eight-track album entitled Record Store Day Exclusive. Only 2500 copies will be pressed in 180g black vinyl. It includes Ball Peen Hammer, Jelly Roll, Love Ain't A Love Song, Woke Up Dreaming plus previously-unreleased acoustic versions of those songs.

Jones is hoping that the event will raise �1000 for the Crohn's And Collitis UK organisation, which provides help and support for those who suffer the diseases.

"Children of Fate" began with the idea of a battle cry for our fans. We wanted a song that was distinctively theirs but still integrated itself into the world of September Mourning.

The story that propels September Mourning into the music realm is about life and death, love and loss... things that people often feel at the mercy of. As if they are helpless to the ramifications of such actions. I wanted to write a song that would empower us all... that would solidify the idea that your life is in your own hands. Your choices, your decisions. That even though the chips will fall where they may, you have the power to influence and direct them into place. You can become anything and everything you have always wanted to be by just making yourself assertive in your own life and following your passions. You can make your own fate. That being said, the term "Children of Fate" was coined.

Musically, we wanted a sense of unique theatricality for the song. We chose a 6/8 tempo with a middle eastern guitar riff to lead off with. We kept the dynamics in the song very dramatic as well from verse to pre chorus to chorus. The bridge vocal literally came out of me in the first take. I wanted something that escalated to a scream and had a vibrant intensity to it. The lyric and rhythm was instinctual and just worked for the part. The chorus upholds it's battle cry feeling as it is layered vocally and almost chanted in a rhythmic pattern.

The song can be related to by anyone. We have all had times in our lives when we have felt out of control. This song lets you know that it's okay Because there are others out there that feel as you have felt, and that with courage you can overcome anything you set your mind to.
