Foo Fighters Rock 'Never Gonna Give You Up' With Rick Astley

Produced by Plant, the set sees the rocker once again joined by the Sensational Space Shifters, with appearances by Albanian cellist Redi Hasa, and renowned viola and fiddle player Seth Lakeman.

The Led Zeppelin legend is also joined by Pretenders singer Chrissie Hynde for a duet on the Ersel Hickey rockabilly classic, "Bluebirds Over the Mountain."

Several former members revealed their identities in a lawsuit filed earlier this year against the singer in a dispute over financial issues, ahead of Forge doing the same on the August 17 edition of "Sommar i P1."

The Swedish branch of Ghost's record label, Polydor, released an unmasked photo of Forge in sync with his radio appearance, where he shared the story of growing up in Linkoping and discovering music while idolizing his older brother Sebastian, who passed away from heart failure in 2009 - the day after Ghost posted its first song on MySpace.

"I opened the screen and visited MySpace - a MySpace that by this time absolutely had exploded with energy, 10 times more than the previous night," explained Forge (via an English translation on Reddit). "Thousands of people had been in and listening to the songs and it was more mail than I could answer. Mail from people from all around the world. Mail from record labels - record labels who wanted to check the possibility of collaboration. Mail from members of famous bands - mail that was absolutely filled with praise."

"We actually did some recording while we were touring Europe, and we started recording a new song. We were in the studio in London," Whitford tells Billboard Argentina. "The song is a musical idea of Joe Perry's. We're doing it very much like we did songs back when we started out. It's a very rock 'n roll."

The epic two hour plus headlining set opens with "Burn the Witch," and features "My Iron Lung," "No Surprises," and "Everything in its Right Place," reports Radio.com.

Metal Hammer reports that the album originally began as a solo effort for guitarist Brent Hinds, with some contributions by his bandmates Brann Dailor and Troy Sanders. They also say that it was originally planned as the second volume of a double album alongside their most recent release 'Emperor Of Sand.'

Compiled from a 1976 show at London's Hammersmith Apollo and 1977 appearances in Philadelphia, PA and Toronto, ON, the double live album was the last to feature guitarist Brian Robertson, who left the band shortly after its release.

"Live And Dangerous" peaked at No. 2 on the UK album charts and enjoyed a 62-week run on its way to UK sales of more than 600,000 copies. The single, "Rosalie / Cowgirl's Song", reached No. 20 on the UK single charts.

Brian Downey's Alive And Dangerous, the drummer's new band, will deliver the live album in its entirety at the fall gig, alongside guitarist Brian Grace, and former Low Rider members Matt Wilson (lead vocals, bass) and Phil Edgar (lead guitar).

"After the Thin Lizzy reunion shows finished in 2013 I was asked to join, what turned out to be Black Star Riders, but it just didn't feel right for me," says Downey. "In January 2016, following an appearance at the Vibe For Philo in Dublin, I approached Brian Grace and that's when we discussed getting a band together. After a few rehearsals, Brian suggested that we rehearse with Matt Wilson and Phil Edgar, both of whom had been in a band called The Low Riders (their name was taken from a lyric from the Thin Lizzy song Johnny The Fox).

The epic song was the title track from the group's third record, which proved to be a major turning point in Metallica's career: their major label debut became thrash metal's first platinum album while going on to sell more than 6 million copies in the US alone.

The video was shot, recorded and edited by Frank Briggs in North Hollywood, CA, and each layer of Quinn's tribute was a complete take, including vocals, with no pitch correction or fixing.

Idol's late night television appearance was to promote the final shows of his two-year residency at the House Of Blues Las Vegas at Mandalay Bay Resort and Casino this October.

"Billy Idol: Forever!" sees the rocker deliver tunes from throughout his career, including tracks from seminal British punk band Generation X and his solo hits.

The track from the band's 2004 debut, "One Day Remains", was formerly featured by WWE superstar Edge as his ring entrance music from the time it was released until his retirement in 2011.

The forthcoming 3-CD package captures Alter Bridge in concert at the London O2 venue on November 24, 2016 alongside a disc of 13 rarities from their career.

While the first two discs feature the live performance, the third disc delivers 13 rarities from their career, including never-before released tracks "Cruel Sun" and "Solace" that were recorded during the sessions for their 2004 debut, "One Day Remains", as well as the song "Breathe" from the same time which has only ever been available as a US retail exclusive via Best Buy.

The new visual and song features a duet between guest star Kim Seviour and Lonely Robot mastermind John Mitchell. Mitchell says: "In Floral Green is a song very dear to my heart.

"In addition to losing sight of the warmth of human connection we feel in the cold remoteness and social disconnection of the modern world, we as a species probably need to be around a lot less drab grey and a lot more rustic green.
