More than 44,800 votes were cast in the poll, and more than 32,500 of those votes went to name the capybaras after the first names of the Rush members.

"We are thrilled to hear that 3 cute little furry creatures from South America now bear our names at High Park Zoo in Toronto!" Lee stated on Rush's Instagram page.

Tommy Victor had this to say about the new effort which he coproduced with Chris Collier, "I must say a lot of effort was put into this new 'Zero Days' recording. From the minute I would get off tour, I would consolidate ideas from the road and form new ones. Again the focus was on creating good songs.

Omnivore Recordings have set a September 8th release date for the new reissue of "Friday Night Is Killing Me" which includes the original 11-track effort on one disc and second disc that will feature rare tracks and B-sides.

They will be kicking the string of shows off with their debut performance at the famed Sturgis motorcycle rally with a concert at The Full Throttle Saloon on August 9th.

The new album and video release was captured during a November 12, 2016 performance by band at London's Roundhouse and features them playing the hit album in full.

The special vinyl pressings will be limited to 1500 copies worldwide and will be sold exclusively at the label's UDiscover online store. They will also be issuing a second pressing of the album on 120gm black vinyl following the success of the remastered reissue's first pressing earlier this year.

Bowie explained how he became involved in the film during a 1986 interview with Movieline, "Jim Henson set up a meeting with me while I was doing my 1983 tour in the States, and he outlined the basic concept for Labyrinth and showed me some of Brian Froud's artwork.

"As we got to know each other, you blew my mind," Homme told Pop. "You really came with such an open mind and saying, 'Yeah, I know what I've done but I'm here to � look forward.'"

Pop responded, "My range, in a lot of ways, expanded making this record." Through voiceovers, Pop, Homme, bassist Dean Fertita and drummer Matt Helders explained how the studio's desert setting was integral to the process. The clip includes footage from the De La Luna recording sessions in Joshua Tree, California.

"Waking up and seeing Iggy do qigong, or tai chi, or whatever the f� it is, while I wipe the sleep from my eyes, is extremely comforting," Homme said.

The follow-up to the New York punk band's groundbreaking 1976 self-titled debut, "Leave Home" was produced by Tony Bongiovi and features a number of Ramones classics, including "Gimme Gimme Shock Treatment," "Glad To See You Go" and "Commando."

Due July 14, the 2017 reissue is packaged as a 3-CD/1-LP Deluxe Edition that delivers the record's original mix alongside a new 40th anniversary one by the album's original engineer/mixer, Ed Stasium.

"Generally, the consensus was [the original] maybe sounded too clean," writes Stasium in the liner notes. "The guitars panned completely left-right detracted from the band's foreboding presence, and the reverb effects especially were a little excessive."

The band has recruited The Answer and Faster Pussycat to open for them on the six date tour which will include stops in Nottingham, Newcastle, London, Manchester, Glasgow and Wolverhampton.

Vocalist Zoe Federoff had the following to say about the track and video, "Memory of a Sapphire quickly became a favorite for us in the studio- it's poppy and melody-oriented, which makes it a lot of fun to play live.

The rocker accepted the Stevie Ray Vaughan Award in recognition of his dedication to MusiCares MAP Fund, which offers musicians access to addiction recovery treatment.

British record producer Chris Blackwell called Clayton someone who "lived through addiction and came out the other side, and has been courageous enough to admit it."

Regarding his U2 bandmates, Clayton said, "I was lucky because I had three friends who could see what was going on and who loved me enough to take up the slack of my failing. Bono, The Edge, and Larry [Mullen] truly supported me before and after I entered recovery, and I am unreservedly grateful for their friendship, understanding and support."

"We have a pact with each other," continued Clayton, "In our band, no one will be a casualty. We all come home, or none of us come home. No one will be left behind. Thank you for honoring that promise, and letting me be in your band."
