"While it is a tragedy that a Lamb of God fan died following a performance by the group, in no way do I feel that Randy did anything improper that led to the young man's injuries and subsequent death. The price of a ticket to a show does not entitle audience members access to a band's stage. In the years since the murder on stage of Dimebag Darrell Abbott, performers of all genres have had to become more guarded while performing in response to the dangers presented by fans trying to become part of the performance. We believe that Randy responded professionally to the numerous amount of fans rushing the stage that day, a number of them captured on videos that have been posted on the internet. We have testimony from the venue operator that acknowledges lax security and an improper barricade being used that evening. Numerous testimonies from fans also were contradictory as to the actions of the multiple fans that tried to access the stage.

The band informed fans via their official website late last week with the following message: "We're very sorry to have to announce that Muse's forthcoming shows in Oslo, Stockholm and Malmo have been cancelled as Matt has broken two bones in his foot. The band have therefore made the difficult decision to cancel these gigs as they feel that they will not be able to do justice to their live show and the fans who have bought tickets with Matt performing on crutches. Muse would like to apologise to all their fans who have tickets to these shows. Refunds will be available from the point of purchase.

Kravitz will play Gaye in "Sexual Healing" (working title) -- which reportedly focuses on Marvin's life in the 80s when he battled drug abuse and depression ... before his father shot and killed him in 1984.

Marvin Gaye III tells TMZ, "The producers and directors of this film are very wrong and shameful ... [They're] trying to do a film about a low period in his life. They don't even know the whole story."

Marvin's son says he and Kravitz were schoolmates -- and remain friends to this day -- so he wants to "talk to him about why he would do this."

The band has posted footage of "The Day That Never Comes" from the set. Recorded during the band's World Magnetic tour in support of their 9th studio album, "Death Magnetic," "Quebec Magnetic" includes 26 songs plus bonus material, with over three hours of footage recorded live at Colis�e Pepsi in Quebec City, Quebec on October 31 and November 1, 2009.

The trek will feature most of the "Rumours" era members, co-founders Mick Fleetwood and John McVie, as well as Stevie Nicks and Lindsey Buckingham. Christine McVie has retired from touring and will not take part in the tour.

All reports indicate that Robert Plant was the lone hold-out preventing Zeppelin from moving forward, opting instead to concentrate on his solo work and his then-new project with Alison Krauss.

In a new interview with 98.7 The Gater in West Palm Beach, Bonham discussed the situation. "Robert and I spoke very long and hard about this," Jason explained. "And there's other reasons, and I respect him for that. He told me."

"The Eddie Vedder Radio Show" will premiere on Wednesday, December 5 at 5:00 pm ET on Pearl Jam Radio, channel 22.

The DVD/CD will include never-before-seen footage from this year's GrasPop Festival in Belgium and full Hellfest set from France and a fully-remixed and remastered Club Nokia show from Los Angeles (originally broadcast on AXS TV).

Egypt Central has issued an official statement confirming rumors that the band had come to an end. The band formed in October of 2002 and released two major label albums � their self-titled debut and 2011′s 'White Rabbit.' Despite some radio success with the title track from their most recent effort, bassist Joey Chicago broke the devastating news to fans via Facebook earlier today (December 3rd).

The film will premiere during the festival on January 19th at 9:45 PM in the Eccles Theater in Park City, UT. We were sent these details:

The tour will kick off January 26th in Flint, MI and will wrap up February 17th in Amityville, NY.

The album will also be released on February 27th in Asia and on March 1st in Europe.

Emmure will be headlining The Mosh Lives Tour of Europe with support from Chelsea Grin, Obey The Brave, Attila and Buried In Verona. The trek kicks off on April 5th.

The 18-track compilation will feature love songs drawn from three decades of recordings by Joel.

Vessel marks the first Abriosis recording to feature the band's new vocalist, Alxs Ness (ex-Without Mercy). "Vessel is what we have been working towards for years," comments Abriosis guitarist Taylor Lipton. "It's disorienting while holding down groove. Every song has its own face and personality. We are very proud of this release, and excited to see where it brings us!"

Vocalist Tracy Hitchings had this to say about the effort, "All of the lyrics I have written for this album, starting with 'Entertaining Angels', were born of my spiritual beliefs. Other lyrics I penned had that same concept, just different stories that got reshaped as I was overcoming Cancer with a very unconventional method as part of the belief in reshaping my life and helping me rid my nemesis. In particular, 'Glowing - Part 1 & 2' is a testament to that and was an amazing and cathartic experience. Writing lyrics and vocal arranging on this album has been an amazing journey and healing process in my life, which has completely changed from the one I once lived."

Some songs arrive fully formed, this one came together like a jigsaw puzzle. I was messing around on the keyboard and came up with what is now the guitar riff that opens the song. Fra started strumming on the acoustic. We tried to give it a disco feel, but we just couldn't get it to work and we almost left it behind right then. But I got sacked from the keyboards (yet again�) and played tremolo guitar along to the acoustic and a whiskey rhythm and we got a really good vibe going, kind of David Lynch meets Chris Isaak, with Fra scatting these short, punctuated nonsense verses over the top. We sometimes play a live acoustic version that sounds a bit like that.

At this stage, it had slowed down to about half the speed it is now. That's when the chorus was written � it took about two weeks to convince Fra to sing it because it was really poppy, which was somewhat at odds with the rest of the song at this stage.

Because of the vibe, it needed some sleazy dark lyrics. Sex, booze and gambling. The news was full of the latest corruption, banking or political scandal tearing the UK falling apart (OK, it could have been any day in any country over the last five years), so the theme emerged of the powers that be gambling with our futures � they win and we lose, we lose and they win.

Fra's scatting lent itself to writing some really dark and punchy words, the story kind of wrote itself even though we ended up losing half the singing and half the story in the verses to keep it sparse � the remnants of the original verse are still there in the third verse with that ghostly refrain that Fra does.

It then became obvious that we needed to make this a driving song again, who wants to relax while being screwed over? So Nick and Luca sped it up and came up with that great driving rhythm. It still had something missing, but there was enough of something there to take it onto the recording studio where we'd already started work on the album. This was the only track we took in unfinished and was the most fun to record, we were still creating as we lay it down and we had no idea if it would make the cut or not. We ended up not using about five tracks that were recorded.

We played it to Dave Allen, our producer, he recorded a rough take and two minutes later added that sequencer keyboard sound. It instantly came together and is now probably the most natural sounding song on the album. And now everyone is saying it's a homage to Siouxsie - it's a homage to Lynch!

The Promise is one of our favourite live tracks, even bigger and louder, and it's actually the only one we play to a click so we can get the sequencer going.

At one point, Letterman asked if the guys had considered carrying on following the 1980 death of their drummer, John Bonham.

During Saturday's show, frontman Steven Tyler took a moment to dedicate a song to Bebe Buell, the mother of his daughter, actress Liv Tyler.

When singer Ian Astbury had the idea for Salem to do the remix, he reached out to Salem as an admirer, using an e-mail he found on and EP he had.

The band responded and chose "Elemental Light", which resulted in an ethereal, beat-driven version of the song. Ian then called in the cinematic prowess of director/acclaimed fine artist Kostas Seremetis to create a visual element for the remix, and the result is more short film than music video.

The clip is dedicated to the late Endezzma guitarist and Urgehal frontman Trondr Nefas, the video can be seen here.

The "Merry Xmas (Wherever you are)" video features a drunken Santa stumbling around Watford (the bands hometown). You can watch it here.
