.
Jack's Mannequin Stand Up To Cancer and Announce DVD and EP Releases was a top story for this week. Here it is again: (PR) Andrew McMahon, frontman for Sire Records' pop/rock recording artist Jack's Mannequin, will join Stand Up To Cancer's team of celebrity ambassadors in December 2009. The Stand Up To Cancer (SU2C) initiative funds groundbreaking research aimed at getting new treatments to patients faster, and aims to rally the public around the fight against the disease. To date, the group has raised more than $100 million, SU2C's celebrity ambassadors support the initiative by participating in fundraising events and serving as spokespeople in public service announcements and media interviews to generate awareness about cancer's devastating impact and the role research plays in the effort to end it.
In addition, Sire Records will release Dear Jack on November 3rd, a DVD documentary shot by McMahon himself which chronicles his own personal fight against leukemia. Equipped with a DV camera Sire Records originally gave him to capture the making of his debut Jack's Mannequin album, Everything in Transit, McMahon kept the camera rolling after the crucial day in May 2005 when he not only finished his debut solo album, but was also diagnosed with cancer at only 22 years old. Directed by filmmakers Corey Moss and Josh Morrisroe and narrated by Tommy Lee, this documentary is a raw look at the battle that is leukemia. The film will be available in-stores, on the Jack's Mannequin website www.jacksmannequin.com and via digital download through iTunes.
A special Limited Edition Dear Jack pre-order from the website sold out in only one week. The 3,000 lucky fans who reserved their copy of the DVD also received an exclusive, newly recorded and previously unreleased track, "Swim (Music Box)" as an instant audio bonus, along with an autographed poster from McMahon. - more on this story
