But he could face a retrial after jurors at Worcester Crown Court failed to reach majority verdicts on two further counts of indecent assault, two of indecency with a child, and one of having sex with a child.

Trusted source Van Halen News Desk reports: "This is a very authentic live recording. Every bit of the concert is in here, including Dave speaking Japanese to the crowds, full guitar and drum solos, etc.

Gigs in Edinburgh, Manchester, Leeds, Birmingham and London have been cancelled with no rescheduled shows having been announced and no indication given as to whether the band will line up new dates.

Lee says of Cooper's offer, "That would be awesome. I asked him, 'Can you make three more of those guillotines? Then you could chop off all our heads at the same time!'"

Worsnop tells Artisan News: "Like I said in my press release, it was just time for us to part ways. We reached a point, musically, where we wanted different things. I wish them all the best in the future, and I will always follow it and support it. It was just time."

The pair, who both went to Wentworth Primary School in the town, recognised each other and struck up a conversation. At the time, Jagger was on his way to the London School of Economics carrying a pile of his favourite blues records, while Richards was heading to Sidcup Art College with his Hofner Cutaway guitar.

Dartford Borough Council unveiled the blue plaque during a small ceremony on February 5 with help from Mayor Avtar Sandhu and Dartford Grammar head John Oakes.

Nightwish alerted fans with a Facebook post identifying one source of the leak, which initiated an intense debate among readers. The band explains: "Our intention was not necessarily to attack an individual person, but to raise awareness that spreading unreleased property through internet is not something that any artist would like to see happen. This is about our musical property and the abuse of it. This kind of thing causes irreparable harm to countless people working in the music industry worldwide. Not only for the band."

With their debut due February 23 via Frontiers Records, the group includes former Whitesnake guitarist Doug Aldrich, Night Ranger bassist Jack Blades and Journey drummer Deen Castronovo.

The project also sees a guest appearance by Journey vocalist Arnel Pineda on You're Not Alone. Revolution Saints are working through their respective band's schedules to determine when they can hit the road to play live for fans.

Castronovo tells Billboard: "We have thought about that, and actually we're having conversations now about how we'd go about doing things and what we would play and all that kind of stuff."

Sanctitude captured the band in concert at London's Union Chapel in May last year on the acoustic Unplugged & Reworked tour. And guitarist Anders Nystrom admits the group were apprehensive about presenting their material in a new way.

He says: "As a band we set out on uncharted waters but, while apprehensive about the journey ahead, our intentions couldn't have been more genuine to undertake this beautiful experience. Sailing this project into harbour turned out to be bliss and has ultimately enriched all the members of Katatonia."

Greenway tells SkullsNBones: "We're selling more records right now than we ever have done. That's not just vinyl. It's vinyl, CDs, everything is selling really well. We haven't done anything to gain commercial advantage. In fact we've turned down stuff that could have given us commercial advantage because of our ethos. That's kind of mind blowing.

The band say in a statement: "His drumming has simply convinced us most. His style of playing is fresh and really grooves heavily. It simply is exactly what we need for UDO.

According to the Belfast Telegraph, the event is taking place in the city's tree-lined Cypress Avenue, after which Morrison named a track on his classic 1968 album Astral Weeks.

Rutherford tells Rolling Stone: "We did it on my birthday. I mainly remember the incredible mud and rain. Years later I thought back and realised we made a mistake not filming it.

The couple were married at the Palace of Fine Arts, and rented an adjacent building for the reception. According to NBCBayArea.com, Schon had initially agreed to pay the city $58,000 for use of the facility and claims officials unfairly jacked up the fee for the city's permit six days before the wedding after learning the event was to be broadcast via pay-per-view.

Ian tells Loudwire: "People always say Persistence Of Time was a dark album. I definitely was a darker person. So much of that goes into why the decision was made that I couldn't move forward any more with Joey in the band.

"Up until that point I never had a problem with the way Joey was singing the words I was writing. I thought he got it across perfect. But once we got to Persistence, it wasn't working for me any more.

Now he's rediscovered it, he's preparing a series of sketches to accompany its release via Genesis Publications. The publisher had the following to say about the upcoming release:

"Ten years before he joined the Rolling Stones, Ronnie's musical apprenticeship with The Birds catapulted him onto the stage of swinging London's music scene.

He tells Metal Mal: "I'm in the studio making another album right now. It's not, like, 'Okay, now I'm going to go in and do it.' It's just that when I'm inspired, I go in and I do something.

The record is being recorded at Grindhouse Studios in the Suffolk countryside. Filth says: "The album sounds so sick and killer, I am truly excited for people to hear the very spiky fruits of our labour.

But Bonz reunited with Ward, bassist Corey Lowery and drummer Frank Fontsere for a show in Atlanta in December. And Ward says it's likely they'll record fresh material together again.

He tells The Signals Of Intuition: "There probably will be one - we haven't gone in writing yet. Bonz is doing great, he looks great, we're getting along great, and he seems like he's dealt with all his demons and he's sorted that part of his life out.

The performance featured the live debut of guitarist Stevie Young - nephew of Angus and retired founding member Malcolm Young - and the return of drummer Chris Slade to the lineup.

Slade revealed his return on Saturday: his status had been rumored for days as the band were forced to address the issue of troubled drummer Phil Rudd, who was arrested November 6 on multiple charges by New Zealand police - including possession of methamphetamine, possession of cannabis and threatening to kill.

For the first time ever, Slipknot and Korn joined forces on stage to cover Beastie Boys' smash hit _Sabotage _sold-out Wembley crowd. Mid-way through Korn's set, Clown, Jim, Chris, Sid and Corey rallied together to perform the classic Beastie Boys song "Sabotage".

Slipknot return to the UK to headline Download Festival in June. Tickets Slipknot's latest album .5: The Gray Chapter is out now on iTunes and Amazon.

The program saw the Foos performing tracks from their latest album, "Sonic Highways", with the help of Gary Clark, Jr. and Jimmie Vaughan, who joined the band on the Fabulous Thunderbirds hit, "Tuff Enuff."

The band just wrapped up a tour of South America and will head to New Zealand and Australia for dates starting February 21. A summer North American run starts July 4 at Washington's RFK Stadium.

The former Guns N' Roses guitarist played "Bent To Fly", the second of 6 singles issued from the project, which landed Slash a US Top 10 debut upon its release last fall.

"World On Fire" entered the Billboard 200 at No. 10 with opening week sales of 29,000 copies. Slash's previous album, 2012's "Apocalyptic Love", debuted at No. 4 with 38,000 sold in its first week.

And although it will be their first studio outing since 2006's Falling In Between, keyboardist Steve Porcaro said the band are looking on the new material as the follow up to 1982's Toto IV.

He said: "This is opposite of going through the motions. We are treating this like it is Toto V. We just want to be the best version of ourselves that we can be. Be true to ourselves and make the best music we can. Entertain people which is what we were put on this Earth for."

Speaking about the debut single from the extreme metallers' thirteenth full-length, guitarist Ivar Bj�rnson says "This great lyric video is certainly a good way to present the song and the album."

"Thurisaz Dreaming was the first song to be written for the album and kept the place as the natural opener for the album all the way throughout the entire making of the album. It leaps out of the speakers and grabs you by the throat - it's a song that makes you take a stand right there during the first seconds of the album: are you up for the journey?! Of course you are!"

Due March 16 via Nuclear Blast and available as a DVD/2CD and BluRay/2CD, the band's first live package features more than three hours of music and features, including two documentaries and drum cam videos for four tracks.

Soilwork were joined at the special show by Nightwish singer Floor Jansen and Sonic Syndicate's Nathan J Biggs. Speaking about the packaging, Soilwork's Bjorn 'Speed' Strid says: "Once again we collaborated with Mircea Gabriel Eftemie to create visuals that would perfectly capture the unique vibe of this very special evening.

"In The Heart Of Helsinki is somewhat of a testimony of our career and the live action shots are mixed with a blast from the past, including a collage of Soilwork memorabilia. I've always loved collages, especially on the inner sleeve of a vinyl."

Sweet says about the sessions: "We're tracking Heaven right now and I believe that this album may very well be our best. Five days in and counting - everything sounds fabulous."

Mainman Daniel Gildenlow says of the video: "I started last year with four months in the hospital, battling flesh eating bacteria, and somehow managed to bounce back to see myself playing Vegas dressed in a rabbit suit.

"It felt perfect to end the year knee-deep in snow on Iceland, shooting in a blizzard, with a dead coyote draped over my freezing shoulders. I mean, who would have guessed a few years back that it would turn out to be one of the more normal situations of my year?"

The label says of the follow-up to 2013's This River: "Ol' Glory contains 12 new songs that feature the deep, soulful blend of blues, rock, folk, funk, gospel, gritty R&B and personal, Southern-inspired narratives that have become synonymous with JJ Grey & Mofro.

Ford reports: "The album is really upbeat. It has a positive, good-time feel." While his last two titles - 2014's A Day In Nashville and 2013's Bringing It Back Home - were regarded as returns to his roots, Into The Sun is more of a departure.

"The rule was to have no lid on things," says Ford. "I've worked very hard to master my craft as a musician and a songwriter - but other than relying on my strengths in those areas, I made sure there was room for new ideas and everything my collaborators brought to the music.

Hook tells Blairing Out: "I have all these funny things I'm dying to say. We've always thought about joke titles, like Five Finger Death Punch - Keep Your Receipt. Or, Not Our Best Work."

Simons and husband, Kamelot keyboardist Oliver Paltai, welcomed son Vincent in October 2013 while Epica were in the studio recording their 6th album, 2014's The Quantum Enigma.

Simons tells Horns Up Rocks!: "When we did the demo recordings at my house together with Sascha Paeth, Joost van den Broek and Mark Jansen, I was sitting there with a huge belly, and my legs up. So that was all not very sexy and not very metal. But it was nice to kind of work on the new project.

"And making a new CD is also a little bit like giving birth to a baby. But, of course, you don't have to change it, nor breastfeed the CD. But definitely there are two great new things in my life. And the baby being, of course, the real lifechanger. But I think that The Quantum Enigma is going to be also a good change for Epica."

Vitamins song started out to be a classic example of songwriting journey.

It was like a puzzle game where you don't know where your next step will lead you. The concept started out when I was developing some intro ideas for my "ambient sound" side project, and at one point this cool electro-riff just kept sticking out during the process (but obviously it does not sound too ambient). Soon after, at rehearsals we came up with some strong guitar riffs which just happen to 'sit' there perfectly and from that moment it immediately evolved into almost "cyber-punk'-ish track where both worlds (electro and rock guitars) meet.

The next step was to write some lyrics. This process was rather a challenge for me because I usually tend to write lyrics and music together at the same time.

But never less with the combination of my love for Russian Symbolistic and Futuristic poetry of last centuries it gave me an idea to write about some apocalyptic night ride where you cannot run out of gas because you driving on some new kind of "super fuel"!

The interesting video concept came from when one our friend was showing off his 3D camera which he borrowed for a day and in 5 minutes we decided to shoot us performing this song, which back then was still in work progress and not even recorded, that's why some bits are out of sync in the video LOL.

Then during my Asian leg of tour I was introduced to young Chinese artist named Lu Yang. I became a big fan of her paintings (which were more like fictitious manuals of weird things; like synths played by mice etc) and at that time she was working on her Uterus-man "new breed of superhero" video installation. Suddenly it gave me an answer to who was the real character of this song and the pieces of the "Vitamins" jigsaw came together. With that all in mind I finished writing the song lyrics, we edited the video to the way it fits our live performance and got Lu Yang to combine the 3D elements with her work in progress.

The whole journey was one hell of a great ride because of the complicated process; where much of the actual song writing really depended on visual elements and that has never happened to me before.
