The documentary film by Paul Dugdale was released to limited movie theaters in Europe last September but will be released on home video with the addition of seven live bonus song performances that were captured at various stops of their 2016 Latin American Tour.

Since there's not enough money to build the statue, all the money will go back to those who pledged. The design team for the project ,This Ain't Rock'n'Roll, planned on the 'ZiggyZag' statue to be shaped like the iconic lightning bolt from Bowie's Aladdin Sane album cover.

The Def Leppard EP, which was originally self-released by the band in 1979, will be reissued as a 12" vinyl with "replica art and picture cover", and will mark the first time it will be released on the long-form/45 rpm format.

Frontman Joe Elliott had this to say, "This is the EP that shone a light on this fledgling bunch of wannabes and set us on our way to international stardom (eventually...)! Recorded at Fairview Studios, just outside Hull in North Yorkshire, a studio we were extremely happy to frequent as it had been used on numerous occasions by the late great Mick Ronson.

The tour is scheduled to begin on April 7th in Pasadena, CA at The Rose and will be concluding on May 27th in Simi Valley, CA at the Rancho Santa Susana Community Center.

The tour will also once again include the Mutant Party Zone with two dedicated stages to metal and hardcore rock. The Acacia Strain, Being As An Ocean, Blessthefall, Carnifex and Fit For A King are all slated to perform there.

The new leg is scheduled to get underway on August 25th in Shreveport, LA Shreveport Municipal Auditorium and will conclude on December 9th at The Villages, FL at the Sharon L. Morse Performing Arts Center.

"I realized there was more to it than I thought, that both of those records (Dylan's previous standards albums Shadows in the Night and Fallen Angels) together only were part of the picture, so we went ahead and did these," he explains of the three-disc project. 'It's better that they come out at the same time because thematically they are interconnected, one is the sequel to the other and each one resolves the previous one.

The punk icon revealed that he will be hosting an entirely free Q&A and book signing event at The Last Bookstore in Downtown Los Angeles on April 5th from 7:30pm - 9pm.

He had this to say about why he is releasing an updated version of the book "A lot of stuff has happened since we released the book in 2007. I've updated information, added a couple of chapters and photos, but the message stays the same.

Powered by original members Debbie Harry, Clem Burke and Chris Stein, the 80-minute special gives viewers a front row seat to a career-spanning set live from WTTW's intimate Grainger Studio in Chicago.

I'd like to highlight the song "Downfall of Eden" from our latest album "Monumentum". The basic idea for the song was written a few years ago. It was originally written for Ronnie Atkins from Pretty Maids. Erik M�rtensson and I were hired by Frontiers Records to write a solo album for him that later turned out to be the "Nordic Union" project.

We instantly loved the whole idea but the vocal melodies and the acoustic guitar riff sounded very Swedish. Almost too much with its folkish melodies and the orchestration, so we decided to keep it to ourselves for later.

We dug up the idea when it was time to write for our next album. It sounded just as fresh as when we wrote the music. We didn't have any lyrics yet. But at the same time the elections were on TV.

The smeariest campaign ever. It was fascinating watching politicians doing everything in their power to besmirch each other instead of just listening to what the people really want. The world is falling while politicians are playing in the sandbox.

Hence the lyrics: "The king is just a court jester. The king is nothing but a fool. The king ain't got it all together. It's the Downfall of Eden. The Queen is selling you a nightmare. The Queen does everything to win. The Queen is way beyond corrupted. It's the Downfall of Eden"
