But after being accepted for the experiment at UC San Diego Moores Cancer Center, he says the tumour has completely gone. Rockett, 54, has posted a picture of himself with the center's Dr Ezra Cohen, saying: "Because of this man, I am cancer free!"

The discussion came after Gene Simmons talked up the notion of KISS continuing once all the original men had gone, and came up with the game format alongside Mark Burnett, who devised The Apprentice.

The game show scheme was finally put to bed by band manager Doc McGhee. Singer tells Talk Is Jericho: "There was talk years ago about trying to do a TV show they were going to call KISS: The Next Generation, kind of like one of those reality shows, based on finding the members and putting them together.

Guitarist Johnson has endured more than 26 hours of surgery since the incident, which left him with a severely broken pelvis, various broken bones and the loss of some of his toes.

He's now facing his 11th procedure after an x-ray revealed his thigh bone hasn't healed properly. Johnson says: "I went in for a check up on my pelvis/hip. Then this came out of nowhere.

Klinghoffer joined the band in 2009 after having been a touring member, in the aftermath of his friend and collaborator Frusciante's refusal to return following a hiatus.

The multi-instrumentalist has now recorded two albums with the Chili Peppers - 2011's I'm With You and this year's The Getaway. Klinghoffer tells Russian outlet Metro News: "Of course it gets annoying. On one hand it's an honor for me to be part of this band, and be mentioned in the same breath as Frusciante.

Munky says: "We have Corey singing on one track and it's going to be a fan favourite because he really lets loose. On a heaviness scale of one to 10 with 10 being the 1994 self-titled, this album is a definite nine."

The package comes on the back of his Take A Look At Me Now retrospective campaign, with Nick Davis back on board to oversee the mastering process.

Resurrection features a number of guest musicians including Megadeth bassist David Ellefson, while Tim 'Ripper' Owens and Blaze Bayley feature on the track Taking On The World.

Tate says: "I'm excited for people to hear and experience Resurrection because I think it answers some of the questions that were posed in the first album. Musically, it offers some of the most diverse and challenging material that I've ever written."

Trivium frontman Matt Heafy says: "America! We're coming back to party with all of you. This year has already seen countless cities in numerous countries, and now is the time to bring it back to our home country with our brothers and sisters of metal.

"We are beyond excited to have one of our favorite bands on the planet, Sabaton, on the bill and we are absolutely stoked to have the incredible Huntress out with us as well.

The collective features Cedric Bixler Zavala of The Mars Volta and ATDI, Mike Watt of Minutemen and Iggy & The Stooges, Christian Eric Beaulieu of Vertical Scratchers, Phil Manley from Trans Am, Krist Novoselic of Nirvana, Jonathan Hischke from Hella, Bret Constantino and Matt Holliman of Sleepy Sun, Greg Rogove and Isaiah Mitchell of Earthless and Golden Void, Larry Boothroyd from Victims Family and Naima Mora.

The follow-up to 2013's One Of Us Is The Killer has been produced by Steve Evetts, who worked on their 1997 self-titled debut EP. It's to be released via the band's own Party Smasher Inc label.

Frontman Greg Puciato said in March that the record would be "less accessible" than their previous work, adding: "As of right now it's pretty weird. I don't know if I would use the word aggressive - it's just really a change. I honestly don't really know how to describe it."

Frontman Dave Mustaine calls the song a spiritual (and riff-wise) follow-up to Megadeth's 1992 track "Symphony Of Destruction." "There are all kinds of governmental backdoor meetings and agreements that the U.S. government has with people that you and I as Joe Q. Six-Pack have no idea of the why, whens or how," Mustaine recently told the Houston Press about the song. "People don't want America everywhere. And we can be like 'Okay, screw it. We'll pull out.' And then they can see what happens."

Borland and Callaway - who work together in their band Queen Kwong - bought the house as a "fixer upper" and were followed by the DIY Network's cameras throughout the process.

Callaway tells Entertainment Weekly: "We already decided to move to Detroit. I guess the idea was we wanted to buy one of the houses in the historic neighborhood, and we had no background really with taking on such a large renovation project.

Recorded during the second set of a two-gig night at The Roxy in West Hollywood in August of 1976, it's one of the previously unavailable bonus tracks featured on a new 3CD/1LP deluxe edition of the collection due for release on July 29.

The deluxe package includes a remastered stereo version of the self-titled project, a new mono mix and a pair of live sets at The Roxy. "The earliest mixes of the album were virtually mono," says original producer and mixer Craig Leon. "We had an idea to record at Abbey Road and do both a mono and stereo version of the album, which was unheard of at the time. I'm thrilled that now, 40 years later, we followed through on that original idea."

The 40th anniversary edition's second disc spotlights single mixes, outtakes, and demos. Several of those recordings have never been released, including demos for "I Wanna Be Your Boyfriend," "53rd and 3rd," and "Loudmouth."

Singer Milo Aukerman, bassist Karl Alvarez, drummer Bill Stevenson and guitarist Stephen Egerton ended their hiatus in 2010 and have been working on the new album over the course of the last three years.

Vocalist Dan Tompkins says: "It's been fantastic to re-visit and re-work the vocals to some of the Polaris tracks from a different angle and with the benefit of time and space. The normal process of writing Tesseract songs starts with the creation of the music followed by the lyrical content.

He tells WRIF: "I've been really blessed and fortunate to play with my heroes and then my peers at the highest level of rock'n'roll. So what more could a guy ask for that grew up listening to rock and roll and then came to Hollywood in the late 70s?

The US outfit say: "We are very honoured to finally announce that we have signed with Roadrunner. Over the past few months, we've had the privilege of getting to know the hard working team that makes up Roadrunner and felt a connection with their company immediately.

"It has been a dream of MIW for years to someday sign with their label, and we are elated to find that it is a perfect home for the band to continue building our career.

Steve 'Lips' Kudlow tells KNAC: "Zombie Apocalypse is my personal favourite from the album. I love the feel and tempo which allows for melody and sheer power."

Suicide Silence guitarist Mark Heylmun says: "Finally, after more than a decade, this tour of tours is coming to a city near you. Lube up those earholes, because Suicide Silence and Whitechapel, believe it or not, have never toured together in the United States.

Directed by Christian Lamb, the project presents the Crue's final live performance as captured at the Staples Center in their hometown of Los Angeles, CA this past New Year's Eve.

Concert footage is rounded out with interviews and behind the scenes material shot by "Jackass" creator Jeff Tremaine. "The End" saw its worldwide debut in US cinemas on June 14, followed by a Canadian screening on July 11.

The follow-up to 2014's From Parts Unknown is described as "their most poignant and impassioned album in a career full of sardonic illuminations and pit-inciting fervor."

The band said of the follow-up to 2014's Disgusting: "The songs have as much in common with stomping metalcore as old-school punk, vintage screamo and harder-edged pop punk, combining circle pit-inducing bangers with soaring choruses and bridging raw authentic intensity with accessibility."
