Gregg Allman Hospitalized For 'Serious Health Issues'

The singer at first looks confused by the notes before realizing there is a problem with the equipment, asking his stage tech: "What the f*** is that, can we stop it at least?"

He sees the funny side, saying later in the song: "I don't mind ghosts or gremlins, but they should probably learn the f***ing song." Rose, guitarist Slash and bassist Duff McKagan announced their reunion earlier this year and are on the road on their Not In This Lifetime tour.

The production was a year in the making and the firm behind the idea, Eyellusion, say it was "the first time a hologram has been accompanied by a live band in a traditional concert setting."

Future shows with the Dio hologram are being planned by the band. Ronnie's widow Wendy, who also manages Dio Disciples and works with Eyellusion, says: "When I first experienced the full production of Ronnie performing with his band as a hologram, I couldn't believe my eyes and ears.

Though they offered no explanation for the move, the New Jersey outfit say their sixth title could "potentially be the final full-length" before they take a long break. The follow-up to 2013's One Of Us Is The Killer is due out on October 14.

The Dillinger Escape Plan released new track Limerent Death last week, which guitarist Ben Weinman describes as one of his "all-time favorite songs."

The show at the Cynthia Woods Mitchell Pavilion marked both Rossington's and the group's return to the stage after the guitarist experienced some chest pains and sought medical attention.

Their mooted reunion would exclude drummer Bobby Blotzer, who has been touring the US with his own version of Ratt - which has ignited a legal battle with guitarist Warren DeMartini over the use of the band's name. The new incarnation includes former Ratt bassist Robbie Crane and several new members.

Pearcy hints that the legal process over the band name would have to play out before they consider their own comeback. He tells Mitch Lafon: "We still all talk - Juan, Warren and I. We're all friends - most of us - and we still have integrity for what we created. Warren and I actually got together and wrote a song a while back, which is phenomenal.

An alleged accomplice of the woman, described only as an overweight man wearing a cap, then stabbed the victim in the arm, body and near his spine. It is understood the victim was robbed of 5000 pesos (�250).

After the gig, Megadeth frontman Dave Mustaine said via Twitter that he was going to see the fan in hospital, along with his bandmates. Mustaine has since reported that the fan will be flown by the tour promoter to see the band in Buenos Aires later this month.

Suicidal Tendencies say: "The new Suicidal Tendencies CD World Gone Mad comes out September 30th, but pre-sales start today. Order it now and get the song Clap Like Ozzy as an instant download on iTunes and Amazon.

Due September 30, the set captures Clapton joined by longtime mentor J.J. Cale in concert at San Diego's iPayOne Center on March 15, 2007 as part of a tour in support of the pair's 2006 Grammy Award-winning album, "The Road To Escondido."

Cale sits in on five tracks, including three from "Escondido" and two made famous by Clapton: "After Midnight" and "Cocaine." Before performing with Cale, Clapton said: "This is the realization of what may have been my last ambition: to work with the man whose music has inspired me for as long as I can remember."

The band revealed their split last week and Bell has given Prog a further, exclusive, insight into their decision. The Edinburgh-based band's last album was 2012's Skies Darken. Bell is in the process of finalising release details for his The Antechamber Of Being Part Two album, while Cyrus hopes his debut solo effort Black Moth The Honeybee will be issued in 2017.

Bell tells Prog: "Cyrus and myself are thoroughly enjoying working on our own projects so we can safely say - Citizen Cain is over. We've had two, three years to find our feet with our solo projects and can now say that we wont be going back.

Meshuggah say the follow-up to 2012's Koloss is "inspired by a Goya painting called The Sleep Of Reason Produces Monsters."

The Violent Sleep Of Reason was produced by the band and engineered by Tue Madsen at Puk Studios in Kaerby, Denmark. Keerych Luminokaya produced the cover art, having worked with the band on previous releases Koloss and The Ophidian Trek.

The album can be pre-ordered now on coloured vinyl and a limited edition box set, as well as in a limited digipak CD, vinyl and special vinyl picture disc. A digital version can be pre-ordered via iTunes.

Phil Ehart tells Billboard: "The title of the album, The Prelude Implicit, means without a doubt this is a new musical beginning for the band. This is the prelude - this is the beginning of a new musical expanse for us. The thing that Richard Williams and I realised is: it's the music, the Kansas music. If the band Kansas stops, then the music stops."

They'll be displayed at the Rock And Metal Gallery at the Catton Park festival in the UK, which will also feature music-inspired art from other musicians.

Hook will cover the band's formation in the wake of Joy Division and Ian Curtis's suicide and offer a "no-holds-barred, comprehensive account of the band's entire history," according to the press release.

Vincent Cavanagh says: "There's something about the immediacy of playing something new before an audience who are hearing it for the first time. There's a sense of urgency and excitement to it.

"Also you know instantly whether or not something is working. Quite often in the past we have ended up changing previously recorded songs and arrangements after playing them live. We thought we'd try it the other way around for once."

It's also said to feature "vital moments of the band on the road, in the studio, at home, behind-the-scenes, and kicking ass on stage are all captured here in vulgar detail. Spanning two decades of metal decadence, this monograph is both a love song to Dimebag Darrell - one of rock's last great guitar heroes - as well as a testament to Pantera's enduring legacy."

Williams is taking time out to deal with an unspecified health issue and said he gave his full blessing for Anselmo to replace him temporarily. And Anselmo is keen to move the focus away from himself and on to Williams' recovery.

Anselmo says: "These gigs are not about me, it is about keeping the obligations of Eyehategod so, as a band and force, they are able to stay true to their commitments to these two gigs.

"My admiration of Mike and all his works, especially Eyehategod, knows zero boundaries, hence, me doing these gigs. In light of Michael D Williams' health issues, which he needs to address more importantly than any other point in his life, and should be respected by anyone with a heart, I will do my best to fill in for him. Those are mighty big shoes to fill, but I shall do my best, once again.

In Between Days: The Cure In Photographs 1982-2005 features shots from Tom Sheehan who has worked with Robert Smith and co across three decades and will contain classic images along with a selection of never seen before photographs. It's to be published in conjunction with The Flood Gallery.
