Black Sabbath's Ozzy Osbourne Returns To Scene Of Urination Crime

He's been battling the disease throughout the recording process of Def Leppard's self-titled 11th album. And he says he's hopeful of good news come December.

Campbell tells radio station 100.7 WZXL: "I'm taking this drug called pembrolizumab. I'm part of a phase two clinical trial. I don't actually know if it's working yet. I'll find out in early December.

"My doctors and I are going to sit down and have a look and see if it's holding the cancer at bay or shrinking the tumours. If it is, I'll be able to continue this treatment for a couple of years, which will be the best possible outcome. If not, then I've got to reconsider my options.

The tune marks the first release by Plant and Krauss since their 2007 project, "Raising Sand", which picked up Album Of The Year honors at the 2009 Grammy Awards.

Due in theaters November 13, "Love The Coopers" stars John Goodman, Ed Helms, Amanda Seyfried, Olivia Munn and more as four generations of the Cooper clan come together for their annual Christmas Eve celebration.

A reissue is on the cards - but Mustaine reveals plans for a new version of the 1985 record were shelved as he, bassist David Ellefson, guitarist Kiko Loureiro and drummer Chris Adler were too busy recording upcoming 15th record, Dystopia.

Speaking at a press conference in Russia, Mustaine says: "It's the 30th anniversary of it, so they wanted to remix it. I thought it would be better if we just completely re-recorded it with this new lineup because I think that would be really exciting. But we were in the process of making the new record."

The 12-date Am�rica Latina Ol� tour is scheduled to begin in Santiago, Chile at Estadio Nacional on February 3 and will include multiple shows in Buenos Aires and Sao Paulo.

"We love playing Latin America, and are excited about going to some cities for the first time!," says Mick Jagger. "The audiences are among some of the best in the world, they bring incredible energy!."

He writes, "Well, it looks like after this tour I'll be spending 12 days alone in the Uk and Europe in December doing a press tour for the new Killswitch Engage album! I am stoked for obvious reasons and then honestly overwhelmed.

"Doing a press tour can be pretty intense (and I've never done one on my own as Adam D. will be busy mixing our record). I will be doing full days of non-stop interviews and flying almost daily which can be exhausting, but getting a chance to see some of the world's most beautiful cities is pretty amazing (even if it's only brief glimpses). It is slowly starting to hit me that the record of my entire career is finished and soon to be revealed to the world (it's looking like a March release)!

"What a beautiful mix of anticipation, gratitude, vulnerability, joy and catharsis. I seriously cherish these days living inside a childhood dream and watching it become my reality daily. I have to remind myself that despite my struggles and trials my determination and circumstance have brought me to a place that far surpasses my hopes and desires.

The Cult head out on a North American tour with Primal Scream next week where they'll be joined by new bassist Grant Fitzpatrick who made his debut with the band at a recent show in Texas.

Guitarist Billy Duffy says: "I had a great time getting back on the road after so much time this year in the studio. The first couple of days were in Austin starting off with The Cult show at Stubb's which was fun and the debut of new bass player Grant Fitzpatrick.

The latter three are currently touring as the Dead and Company (accompanied by John Mayer, former Allman Brothers Band bassist Oteil Burbridge and Fare Thee Well keyboardist Jeff Chimenti).

In fact, this past Saturday night (Halloween night), as Dead and Co. played Madison Square Garden, Lesh played his own gig a little over an hour away at New York's Capitol Theatre.

"I wouldn't hold my breath if I was you, Cause I'll forget but I'll never forgive you, Don't you know, don't you know, True friends stab you in the front?" sings Sykes but that's not exactly how the clip works out�

The tune from the Indiana rocker's "Uh-Huh" album was one of three US Top 10 hits from the project, reaching No. 8 on the Billboard Hot 100 singles chart while "Crumblin' Down" hit No. 9 and "Authority Song" peaked at No. 15.

The lead single from the group's eighth album "Moving Pictures" reached No. 44 on the US Billboard Hot 100 while the project became the band's second US Top 5 record when it peaked at No. 3 on the Billboard 200.

Due November 20, "R40 Live" presents Rush live in concert in their hometown of Toronto over two nights this past June. The shows at the Air Canada Centre marked the first time the group have filmed in their hometown in almost 20 years.

The 1980 performance at Arizona State University in Tempe, AZ is considered legendary in Springsteen circles as the New Jersey rocker and his band were on the road in support of their first double album, "The River."

Due December 4, "The Ties That Bind: The River Collection" presents the live show alongside the 1980 album and its scrapped 1979 draft "The Ties That Bind", plus 22 outtakes from the studio sessions and an hour-long documentary/interview with Springsteen.

Reflecting on the album which featured frontman Chuck Mosley, Gould says: "There are probably things we could have done better, but at the same time I think that the performances were pretty damned good.

"And that had to do with us keeping focused and needing to work within budget restrictions. We rehearsed quite a lot before we went in to record, so we were ready."

Lynne reactivated Electric Light Orchestra for a festival set at London's Hyde Park last year, and last month revealed he was planning a run of shows early next year.

The raw demo from a series of four-track recordings Cobain made in 1988 precedes the song's release on the band's 1989 EP "Blew" and its inclusion on the 1992 compilation "Insecticide."

The home recordings form the companion soundtrack to Brett Morgen's documentary "Kurt Cobain: Montage Of Heck", with both projects due the same day.

It includes four songs written during sessions for his fourth record, and one from previous outing The Raven That Refused To Sing. It also features a reworking of 1998 Porcupine Tree track Don't Hate Me, based on a live recording with studio additions, performed as a vocal duet between Wilson and Ninet Tayeb.

She's joined on the road by the band who recorded Dig In Deep with her - established members George Marinalli, James Hutchinson and Ricky Fataar, plus recently-added keyboardist Mike Finnigan.

The band is fronted by Delain singer Charlotte Wessels and also features Serenity's Georg Neuhauser and Everon's Oliver Philipps. The album is set for release on November 20 via Napalm Records and is based on Wessels' novella of the same name.

Philipps says: "I believe songwriting is a very simple task in general. As long as you're free to just follow your inspiration, it all comes automatically, in a way to my perception songs kind of write themselves.

Last month he was sentenced to four years' probation for an assault on his fiancee in July that took place after a 24-day methamphetamine binge. This week he revealed the band had dismissed him while he was in rehab - but he insisted they did it out of love and not spite. He also said his ex-fiancee had saved his life by calling the police on him.

Now Castronovo tells the Statesman Journal: "I was a verbally abusive man. I was a physically abusive man. I abused her. It was wrong. I'm taking responsibility.

"I've realized that domestic violence is really a choice, and it is calculated. The drugs and alcohol exacerbated it immensely - but there's no excuse for what I did. I deal with it every day. It does come into my head every day, and it's deeper than regret or remorse."

It's the third most common cause of premature death in the UK, and over 12 million people are thought to be at risk. Trout says: "The disease progressively drained me of my life force until I was on the verge of death. A transplant allowed me to survive and thrive once again.

And while they've started writing new material, they insist they'll take their time. Guitarist Woody Weatherman tells The Jimmy Cabbs 5150: "We can't toss any f***ing horsesh*t out there. It's gotta be the real sh*t. There's a couple of licks lingering around. We've been working on a few ideas and whatnot. There's a riff or two in our heads right now. We know what we're getting ready to do."

Keenan adds that his return to live action with the band has only whetted his appetite for a studio return where he hopes to recreate the magic COC had at the height of their powers.

He says: "We just signed a record deal with Nuclear Blast, so we're using all these opportunities just to gel and play, and we keep getting wonderful opportunities to do it, and it's been fantastic.

Damn Vandals' hit single 'I Hate School' was co-written with our long-term collaborator Sam Francisco - he was six at the time said track was penned and has since acquired his new name in an attempt to hide his true identity from the educational institution he begrudgingly attends.

The title of the song came to SF during a particularly violent early morning outburst which resulted in a Despicable Me metal lunch box being flung at full force towards a single pane glass window. The sound of the smashed glass was promptly followed by the primal scream of 'I Hate School' - each word lasting at least 3 seconds, spitting and tearing through the air at ear-melting volume.

After that, the song kind of wrote itself around a riff Frank had been playing around with for some time. The rest of the lyrics are based on the testimony of another DV friend who hated his school so much he actually burnt it to the ground. All in all a bit of harmless fun really �..

In the studio, the only aim was that every guitar note, drum beat and syllable should reflect Sam Francisco's sheer animal rage - his total despair at the fact that an absurd amount of a human being's most joyful and innocent years should be spent indoors at a desk learning f-ing spellings.
It's all true I tell you! Love Jack and the DVs xxxx
