Slipknot Member Suffers Injury

The drummer dropped out of the band's 2011 reunion and subsequent album, saying he hadn't been offered a "signable" contract. The disagreement later exploded into a war of words between him and frontman Ozzy Osbourne.

Sabbath recorded 2013 album 13 with Rage Against The Machine sticksman Brad Wilk, then toured with Tommy Clufetos behind the kit. And although Iommi and Ward caught up at a recent awards ceremony, the guitarist says an original lineup reunion is unlikely as they work towards their last-ever tour.

Asked if Ward will play with Sabbath again, Iommi tells Gigwise: "No, to be honest. I don't know if that's going to happen. But who knows? You never know."

Lambert burst onto America's radar singing "Bohemian Rhapsody" during his audition for American Idol. His soaring vocals caught the attention of the band and they asked him to step in as lead vocalist for multiple tours.

British comedian Alan Carr wanted to keep Lambert's love for Queen alive by recruiting him to recreate the iconic video for "Bohemian Rhapsody." The pair premiered their video on Carr's show Chatty Man.

"I'm so sorry to say that i'm unable to play drums tonight guys!!," Lee tweeted on October 14. "I woke up at 3am with tendonitis!! f***!!! Cant even hold a drumstick!"

Tourmate and Alice Cooper drummer Glen Sobel filled in for Lee at the group's final show in the city, and sat in again in Bridgeport, CT on October 16, Manchester, NH on October 17 and Bangor, ME on October 18.

"Rocked w/ Alice & covered for Tommy in Crue one more time tonight in Bangor, Maine," posted Sobel on his social media sites on Sunday. "He so wants to get back behind the kit but needed just a bit more time to make sure his wrist is good to go. He's been amazing through all this and is a class act who cheers me on during these last 4 shows.

The self-titled work is set for launch in January, featuring ex Lynch Mob singer Chas West and ex Dokken bassist Sean McNabb, alongside drummer Appice and guitarist Goldy.

The band are at the tail end of a North American tour and Coma has been playing with the injury but a doctor has ordered him to take a few days off before the band resume the final two dates of the tour on Friday in Santa Ana, Ca and an appearance at the Aftershock Festival in Sacramento on Saturday.

The band posted the following message on here on Monday, "We are sorry to announce that due to an unforeseen injury we will not be able to perform in Ventura. Our drummer, CC, has been fighting through a torn ligament in his hand which has been made worse by the current tour and travel schedule.

"We will be returning to Los Angeles for him to see a specialist to heal his hand to the best of his abilities. It has been suggested by the doctor that we give him a few days off before he returns to the stage in Santa Ana.

Each album - Herzeleid, Sehnsucht, Mutter, Reise, Reise, Rosenrot and Liebe Ist Fur Alle Da - comes complete with gatefold sleeve, original artwork and lyrics on 180 gram vinyl. It's the first time Herzeleid, Sehnsucht, Reise, Reise and Rosenrot have ever been available on vinyl.

The Norfolk rockers announced the split in a statement released via their Facebook page and attributed to remaining members James Veck-Gilodi, Lee Wilson, Tom Ogden, Matthew Veck-Gilodi and Max Britton.

They say: "It is with a heavy heart that we have mutually decided to part ways with Chris due to various artistic and musical differences. It has been a great journey over the years with Chris and we will all remain good friends.

The homecoming will mark the band's only UK appearance of 2016 as they tour the world in support of "The Book Of Souls." Frontman Bruce Dickinson had this to say, "Download is a very special place for us.

"Not just because it's always great to play on home turf but because there's a truly unique vibe there, it's the very heart of England and of metal, so a fitting place for Iron Maiden.

Produced by Anthrax with Carl Canedy, the project marked the first Anthrax album to feature singer Joey Belladonna and bassist Frank Bello and included classics like "Madhouse", "Armed & Dangerous" and "The Enemy."

The expanded 2-disc reissue presents previously unreleased bonus material including Belladonna's 1984 demo recording of the song "Medusa", nine "rhythm tracks" from Anthrax recordings also done in 1984 - no vocals, no overdubs or "sweetening," just drums, some guitar, a bit of bass, showing the songs in their naked, most basic form - and eight live songs from the group's 1987, first-ever concert in Japan, held at Tokyo's Sun Plaza.

"We wanted to do something special for our fans to celebrate the anniversary of Spreading The Disease," says drummer Charlie Benante. "We took the idea to Universal a couple of years ago and have been very hands-on with them, creating this special, deluxe edition that we think our fans will really like."

"We didn't know what we were doing, but we totally knew what we were doing," added guitarist and founder Scott Ian. "I know that doesn't make sense, but it's where we were at, a bunch of 21 year-old kids making our major label debut on a shoestring budget with nothing but a dream and a bunch of songs that we thought killed.

Originally screened last week in cinemas, the project sees filmmaker Katja von Garnier accompany the group on what was originally intended to be their farewell tour, following them on the road from Bangkok to Moscow to capture candid moments, memories and live footage.

The Scorpions eventually changed their minds, returned to the studio to record a new album, "Return To Forever", and hit the road for a 50th anniversary tour.

"Been in the studio working on my solo instrumental CD I began when writing Rocks my autobio, but didn't have enough time," tweeted Perry. "It'll have diversity, maybe 1-2 songs with me singing or another singer, but mainly it'll be an instrumental album."

The clip is presented by Joey Siler - the creator of the Cooking Hostile heavy metal parody food show - and stars cartoon versions of Randy Blythe and co, along with a brief guest appearance by the Prince Of Darkness Ozzy Osbourne and Anthrax mainman Scott Ian.

The Special Edition will contain the original 10th album, along with a film of their live set from this year's Wacken festival in Germany. It'll be issued digitally, on CD/DVD, CD/Blu-ray and a limited-edition Deluxe Package on CD/DVD/Blu-ray. The latter will be bundled with a photobook, with pre-orders starting from October 21.

"We suggest you mark your calendars and tune in on the night of," says the band. The appearance on Halloween Eve marks the American TV debut by the Swedish rockers as they promote their latest album, "Meliora."

His treatment for Hogkin's lymphoma continues after he was originally misdiagnosed by medics who thought he was suffering from a persistent bug.

Campbell tells 93.3 WMMR: "I remember getting this head cold and flu-like symptoms, and a doctor gave me some antibiotics. Five or six weeks later I had the same thing come back, and the one thing that was constant was this cough that wouldn't go away.

"My doctor said, 'Sometimes it takes time for these things to heal up.' A respiratory doctor gave me an inhaler and nasal spray. I said, 'This isn't really getting any better,' and he'd just give me a stronger inhaler."

After a year he insisted on an X-ray, which identified there was a more serious problem. "A very brilliant doctor said she was pretty sure I had Hodgkin's lymphoma," Campbell recalls. "We did a biopsy a couple of days later, and there you go - Hodgkin's lymphoma."

"When we wrote the song we wanted to tell a story about the area of the world we live in. After traveling so much the past few years, we realise the magnifying glass that the media has put on Detroit has damaged not only our city's image, but more importantly our peoples' image. We all struggle with life's weight, no matter where we live in this world... our peoples' story is not unlike the millions of other people out there put against the wall daily, cast aside as underdogs and thought of as 'already dead'. It's through the struggle to survive in those conditions that we create our strengths.

Following the November dates, frontman Steve Overland, bassist Merv Goldsworthy, drummer Pete Jupp, keyboardist Jem Davis and guitarist Jim Kirkpatrick will play shows across Europe with Electric Boys, before returning to the UK in January.

Monster Truck will be broadcasting live snippets all this week via the Facebook Mentions app. Guitarist Jeremy Widerman says: "We're gonna be showing you inside the van and the jam space.

It was shot at the Telluride Blues And Brews fest in Georgia last month, after band frontman Charlie Starr approached ex Crowes man Robinson about making a guest appearance.

The new effort is expected to be released in the second quarter of 2016. It'll be the follow-up to 2008's Experiments In Mass Appeal. Godfrey says: "We've finally managed to make a new album which will be out next spring.

The brewery describes the forthcoming signature brew as "an aggressively hopped American Amber Ale sure to crush your skull and liquefy your brain."

We were in the studio for three years making a thrashy as hell album - like we've done it for the past 10 years. Everything was on the routine. Like when you're going day-in-day-out in school or at your job. The funny thing is; you never realize you're changing before you stop up and look back.

During the recording sessions I took time off to go traveling. I find inspiration from going on wild adventures and this time the destination was Mount Everest. The trip gave me a needed break where I got the chance to stop up and look back at everything - our recordings, songwriting and the direction we were headed. By then I realized that we had changed a lot as persons, musicians and as a band. So why not embrace this change and write some music that reflect who we really are, instead of doing exactly what we've always done and what people expect us to do?

"Untouchable" is a product of not realizing a natural change and it's what makes it such a great song. There are no magic tricks or a great plan. It's just about letting go and let life take you where you're supposed to go. Following your natural path is what makes happiness and that's what life is all about.

When I was in the helicopter looking back at Mount Everest and seeing the clouds, avalanches and blizzard storms I told myself to be who I am instead of trying to be somebody I'm not. It's funny in a super absurd way that I had to get that far out before realizing that being yourself is the most important thing in the world. I'll never change that. And I'll keep writing songs like "Untouchable" to share them with cool kids who just don't give a fox.
