Former Genesis man and prog icon Gabriel met Cox two years ago before she became an MP and recalls her striking him as "a potential leader" who could inspire those she came into contact with.
Gabriel says: "We have been robbed of a potential leader, a wonderful mum and a soul that could both listen to and inspire those with whom she came into contact.
"I can't bear to think of her family and the terrible loss they now have to face." Read more here.
The band say in a statement: "We have had to pull out of the Stone Free festival at the O2 this weekend due to unforeseen circumstances. But don't worry, we have been replaced by the mighty Teeth Of The Sea - an absolutely brilliant band. Get there early, watch their set - you'll be blown away."
Teeth Of The Sea add: "Well, bimey - turns out TOTS are a last-minute addition to Stone Free Festival at the O2 on Sunday - on a bill headlined by none other than Rick Wakeman." Read more here.
Amos, a Grammy nominee, has stated he wants to help raise the profile of the genre he loves. He recently said: "We wanted to bring the blues to the pop culture conversation.
"I hope folks dig it and it moves them to dive deeper into this great American music." He's nearing the end of a run of North American dates. See the remaining dates and watch the new video here.
He was replaced by former Bad Brains man Brooks Wackerman. The band cited the need to "move in a different direction" as the reason for the split. Ilejay is now a member of Islander, who've just released a video for Darkness, the lead track from second album Power Under Control.
He tells Rolling Stone: "I was totally shocked and scared out of my mind when Synyster Gates called to let me go. I was like, 'Oh my God - my wife is about to have a baby. How am I going to support my family now?'"
He was offered the role with Islander soon after that band's frontman Mikey Carvajal heard he'd been fired. The drummer says: "I realized if I joined Islander I'd have an opportunity to help write songs and build something - instead of being on the inside, but at the same time really being on the outside, the way I was with Avenged."

We're Happy Round Here. is taken from the Don't Believe Everything You Think mini-album - available now on TSB Records - and follows the release of their debut video Unscrewed, which came out last November. "It's a song about how blind people are in the face of adversity," say the band. "It evokes an honest, dirty, Punk 'n' Roll vibe that incorporates everything about The Main Grains".
The video for the song was filmed during this year's Camden Rocks Festival in London, and was filmed and edited by UK Director/Actor Mark Haldor, who has previously produced music videos for Ginger Wildheart and Hey! Hello!. Mark is currently finishing editing on his directorial debut feature film Crossing Over, a comedy he co-wrote and also stars in. Watch the video here.
"Somewhere between the homeless people begging for change in front of million dollar condos and the rush of the post modern ironic subculture movement lies the inspiration for this track," says Biters mainman Tuk Smith.
"I've seen a lot of people come and go but I still play rock'n'roll. Sometimes, even in my own city, I feel like a stranger in a strange land." Biters are currently in tour in the US. See the dates and watch the video here.
"Going into the project we were adamant that we needed to film ourselves playing the song at the summit of a volcano mid-eruption," drummer Billy Howard tells Metal Hammer. "However, given that we didn't really have much budget or time, green screen presented the only viable option. I think you'll agree the results are pretty seamless - it might surprise some viewers to find out we didn't actually visit any of the places featured in the video's backdrops; it's just clever camera work and editing tricks.
"In terms of how we sourced the background footage, we wanted stuff that was essentially kind of dumb and lo-fi, while still being gnarly and maybe a little dark. Home made martial arts videos, monster truck crashes and molten lava streams all feel like things a 10-year-old would find cool or scary, and this pre-pubescent fascination with gore and carnage is definitely something we're into. As band we try and strike a balance between writing serious and interesting songs that are still a fairly accurate cross-section of our influences. It's definitely important to us that we're honest in how we present ourselves; we're kind of dorks. However, we might try address this in our next video and go topless in leather trousers with bullet belts across our chests." Watch the video here.
In the Hebrew bible, Chemosh was a deity of the Moabites. Chemosh meant the 'destroyer' and was the enemy of the Hebrew God 'Yahweh'. The lyrical concept behind this song is to shine a light onto bringing power to resurrect the old pantheon religions of the ancient east and to bring some sort of historical outlet on the fact that monotheistic religions enslaved, stole, and distorted the beliefs from these ancient cultures. Dogmatic religions have now corrupted spiritual freedom and put their followers' spirits into religious slavery. This must end by breaking the shackles of Yahweh and smearing the blood of the Hebrew God.
