The band's biggest hit "Your Love" hit no. 6 on the singles chart and helped propel their debut album, "Play Deep," to multi-platinum sales status in the U.S. The band's latest album was 2011's "Replay."

The band broke the sad news to fans with the following Facebook post: "It is with great sadness to inform you that John passed away at 09.55 on Wednesday 9th July 2014. He was 60 years old. As many of you know, he had been suffering from liver cancer for many years and bravely fought the disease until the very end. We are relieved that his passing was peaceful and painless.

"John was a loving husband, inspirational father, doting grandfather and gifted songwriter. His musical career started from a very young age and he wanted more than anything for people to listen and enjoy his music. He passed away knowing he achieved his ambition.

"If it were possible, we know John would have liked to have thanked each and every fan of The Outfield personally. He admired and respected the emails from thousands of loyal followers who commented on his music and enquired about his health. This alone, gave him motivation to battle through the sometimes dark days.

"We would like to thank you for 'Your Love' and the continued support you have given John throughout his career. He loved making music and playing his guitar. He found pleasure knowing that his music made people happy and bought them fond memories. He worked hard with many days in pain to finish the Replay album. There were times when he could barely pick up his guitar, but he refused to give up knowing he would disappoint fans. The hardest day for John was when he put his guitar in its case announcing his hands could no longer play.

"During the last months of his life, John, Tony and Alan wrote new material. What the future holds for this is unclear at the time of this writing.

"There is so much more we could say, but for now, we would like to grieve the loss of John.

"God bless you all.

"Stevie, Malcolm's nephew, was magnificent, but when you're recording with this thing hanging over you and your work mate isn't well, it's difficult," Johnson said. "But I'm sure he was rooting for us. He's such a strong man. He's a small guy but he's very strong. He's proud and he's very private so we can't say too much. But fingers crossed he'll be back."

A 10-minute, 15-second film with no dialogue, it stars Springsteen as a man wandering through the countryside and is reminiscent of scenes from The Book of Eli or the film adaptation of Cormac McCarthy's The Road.

During the film's intro (about five-and-a-half minutes), his character flashes back to his past life with a family - who we don't see him with through its duration. Soon a young boy leads him to a farm where he lives with a community of people, recalling the community that Tom Joad met under the bridge in Grapes of Wrath.

In a YouTube clip released this week (July 8), the band lets the world know that on Sept. 30, 2014, they'll be hearing new music from the band. The video is titled "Return To Ithaca" and gritty guitar and striking piano is heard in the background as well as snippets of some of the music off the record.

In an interview with EW.com, the band offered a telling description of the new album. "If you took the Pinkerton band and then play all the other records - that's what we sound like now," drummer Patrick "Frisbee Wizard" Wilson said. "Bombastic, loose, kind of booming. This record sounds like it's going to have the tight structure of Blue Album with a little bit more abandon like Pinkerton."

More details about the release are still to be announced but Metal Mind Productions sent over the initial details and a preview video clip. The DVD was recorded at the Lizard Club in Krak�w, Poland on April 29th of this year.

Di'Anno performed classic songs from the first two Iron Maiden albums (Iron Maiden and Killers), along with tracks from his band Killers and solo tracks.

In addition to the concert, the DVD will also feature bonus material including an interview with Di'Anno, a photo gallery and more. The label says that the concert will also be released in CD DG and 2LP formats.

The band recorded the album in a cabin in the woods outside of Nashville over the course of 8 weeks with producer Nick Raskulinecz (Alice in Chains, Foo Fighters, and Queens of the Stone Age).

The special release event will feature an in-store performance and will be taking place on July 31st Zia Records (4225 S Eastern Ave, Las Vegas, NV 89119).

"You Can't Stop Me" is Suicide Silence's first album with their new singer Eddie Hermida (ex-All Shall Perish) and features guest appearances by George "Corpsegrinder" Fisher (Cannibal Corpse) and Greg Puciato (The Dillinger Escape Plan).

The new album was produced and mixed by Steve Evetts (Sepultura, The Dillinger Escape Plan, Warbringer) and will be released in various formats by Nuclear Blast Entertainment.

The band did not give a specific reason for the cancelation. Here is what they had to say, "We regret to inform our fans that due to unforeseen circumstances that are beyond our control, Cattle Decapitation will not be performing upcoming dates in Europe which included several festivals.

The degree recognizes the significant contribution Johnson has made to the music industry as lead singer of one of the world's most successful rock bands for the past three decades.

"When I first heard about this great honor, I was humbled � especially since it's from my hometown university," said Johnson. "I was an engineering student myself here a long time ago."

The rocker was born along the river from the University at Dunston and performed with a series of bands before finding Top 20 success with Geordie during the Glam Rock era of the 1970s.

"Thank you to @TheBridgeFX for having us on set today," tweeted Janie. "Arrested by Mexican police and escorted to jail." The couple shared the images of Eddie being handcuffed and ready to be put in the back of a police car, and another of the two sitting in a jail cell.

There's no further details regarding the visit, so it's unknown if Eddie may have a guest appearance coming up on the program, or if actress and stuntwoman Janie is actively involved in the production, or if either or both simply have friends involved in the series.

Band members Rob Halford, Glenn Tipton and Richie Faulkner arrived in a convertible to chants of "Priest! Priest! Priest!" before heading indoors to sign copies of the record.

"Redeemer Of Souls" is available in a standard version and a deluxe edition with five bonus tracks. The project marks Faulkner's studio debut with Priest; he replaced founding member K.K. Downing following his retirement in 2011.

"Eye Of Providence" will be the first album featuring the band's new vocalist Vicky Psarakis, who replaced Alissa White-Gluz earlier this year when Alissa left the group to join Arch Enemy.

The new album was recorded by Chris Donaldson (Cryptopsy) and the band have released their second 'Studio Update' video, which you can watch online here.

Hosted by Blink-182's Mark Hoppus and presented by Alternative Press, the event will see 15 awards handed out, with fans casting their votes in 12 different categories.

The evening at the Rock And Roll Hall Of Fame will feature performances from A Day To Remember, All Time Low, Asking Alexandria, Fall Out Boy, Falling In Reverse, Joan Jett & The Blackhearts, Machine Gun Kelly, the Misfits, Sleeping With Sirens, twenty one pilots and Brendon Urie of Panic! At The Disco, with more to be announced.

"When we heard about Cooper's life-long love of our hot and tasty sandwiches, we knew he had to be a part of the Cravers Hall of Fame," Jami Richardson, corporate vp of White Castle, said of the rocker's induction into its delectable ranks. "He is a legend in the rock 'n' roll world, and now he is a legend at White Castle."

"It's probably one of the most all-American things that there is, White Castles," Cooper added to reporters in attendance. "So I feel like it's the one product that hasn't changed over all the years. Everything tastes differently now. But White Castle tastes exactly the same."

Maxwell tells Loudwire: "They just pretty much had a lot of other stuff going on in their life that just took the focus of the band away, and for us to continue, we had to part ways with them.

You might think, "those nice metal kids are having a wholesome time up at San Manuel Amphitheater from October 26-28." And then you see what Knotfest is really about. From the Knotfest website, the attractions include:

Fire Area/Thunderdome - two men enter, one man leaves. Thunderdome is an actual Thunderdome where people will fight until one man gives up. The fire area comes "straight from the bowels of hell" and is a performance exhibit with, you guessed it, tons of things on fire. These attractions will be kept open all day and night.

Costumed Performance Artists - 30+ costumed pagan performers roam around festival adorned as different creatures with fire-walkers, fire-breathers and sword-swallowers all joining in the fun.

Zipline - This will cost extra, but it has never been done at an American festival.

Ring of Fire Carnival Ride - We have no idea what this is. Surely something about clowns and terror.

Scent of Knotfest - "Knotfest has it's own aroma that will infest your brain, body and clothes for days after the festival is over. Personally picked by Slipknot themselves, oil drums will be filled with camel s-t and oil, set aflame to last the entire festival."

Goat Petting Zoo - "Goats will freely graze in the heavy-petting zoo where Knotfest attendees can get close to their horned spirit animals."

According to Curbed Los Angeles, the property is packed with local history. It was built in 1925 by Van Griffith, the son of Griffith J. Griffith, the original benefactor for nearby Griffith Park, home to all sorts of attractions, including the Griffith Observatory and popular outdoor concert venue, the Greek Theatre.

The song Rubber Sternum was one of the more artistic endeavors on the record. The end of the track especially, allowed us all to experiment with texture and unique tones that we hadn't utilized elsewhere on the album. We layered about 6 guitar tracks, multiple saxophone tracks, a music box, Rhodes, and Jason (Drums) even recorded himself dropping loose screws onto a bigger pile of screws for added texture.

Lyrically this song follows a similar stream of consciousness approach as the music. I was thinking a lot about anxiety, and things in my life that have held me back from experiencing things. Fear of failure basically. As we were writing this song, a friend sent me a Miles Davis quote, "Do not fear mistakes, there are none". This really hit home and got me thinking of how all of your failures and mistakes are only a part of who you are, and instead of fearing them, they should be embraced. I would think about taking in all of the good and the bad that makes me up, and get this vision of breathing deep and the physical feeling of my chest expanding to take in the air. This is where the track's title comes from, "Can we be without flaws? Never to find our greener hearts, wider ribs, rubber sternums".
