The hacker says musicians and artists are easily hacked and they all need to change their passwords right away. "It's famous musicians and artists at risk," j5Z told The Daily Beast. "If you're a celebrity, you should change your password immediately. Literally everyone should just create a new email, think of a new password, and do it for every account."
At around 2 p.m. on Tuesday, J5Z posted the following on George Harrison's Twitter account: "Hey George, follow @j5zlol when you see this and shoot me a DM. I'll help you secure your accounts I don't want to cause you any harm, bud."
Minutes later, @j5zlol tweeted on his own account, 'Well s- I hacked someone and I didn't even know they was dead.. my bad." Then his account was suspended. A tweet from Harrison's hacked account echoed the sentiment, saying, "SORRY" for not knowing about Harrison's death and adding "IVE BEEN LIVING UNDER A ROCK. MY BAD PPL." Read more

The clip ends with Lincoln's favorite celebrity, Matthew McConaughey, driving his Lincoln while listening to the song; in the clip, he refrains from the deadpan True Detective-like musings of most of his appearances in their commercials. Watch the commercial below.
"Midnight Rider" is one of the most enduring songs in the classic rock cannon. The Allman Brothers Band released the original version on their second album, 1970's Idlewild South. The song didn't hit the charts in its original incarnation; however, singer Gregg Allman did a new version of the song on his debut solo album, 1973's Laid Back, and it went on to become a top 20 hit. It's also been covered by Willie Nelson and Joe Cocker. See the commercial

Bass player Paolo Gregoletto tells Artisan News (via Blabbermouth): "Matt's voice was toast. He had to re-learn a lot of techniques. In my mind, I'm, like, 'This could change our band forever, if he can't do that stuff.' And there was a technique Matt learned, but it was gonna take time, and there was no guarantee that he was gonna get it.
"And now, within the last three or four months, it finally clicked, and Matt is able to do pretty much 99% of the stuff he was doing before. That presents us with the opportunity of going forward with the record. Now we don't have to worry as much about it." Read more

The incident took place during a European tour in 2004 while he was at his lowest ebb, before leaving the band a year later and returning, refreshed, in 2012.
Head tells the Allegedly Podcast (via the New York Daily News): "I was watching a package come from California into New York, the UK and then it landed in Germany. I was watching it through FedEx online.
"It had my three 8-balls of meth in it. That was the gutter. I could get arrested for stuff like that. I've got my daughter at home - I'm risking everything in my life."
He adds: "That was the period when I was suicidal. I just hated myself. Guilt, shame and all that." Read more

When asked how Diamond Head influenced the NWOBHM movement, Tatler tells Loudwire: "I suppose we took things further in a speed way. I always said that I really liked punk rock.
"I was 17 when punk exploded in the UK. It was very aggressive and raw. It was very fast, and it sort of left behind a lot of the prog bands of the 70s. I picked up on that."
Tatler says it was listening to John Peel's radio show in the 70s that made him want to become a musician. He adds: "It made me think you haven't got to spend 15 years in your bedroom learning to play the guitar to the standard of someone like Richie Blackmore." Read more

Directed by Christian Lamb, the project captures the group live at the Staples Center in their hometown of Los Angeles, CA this past New Year's Eve.
"It's forever," Neil tells Palm Springs Life. "'The End', the movie of the final show, is coming out in the theaters, and there's also going to be the movie 'The Dirt' [based on the band's 2001 autobiography]. I see it in the reaction to the songs, you know? I could be walking into a place just picking up a prescription or something, and somebody's got an old M�tley shirt on.
"I'm proud to be that guy. I've never run from who I am, and the legacy is not only going to continue, it's continuing as we speak here. Like I said, I'm thankful for the support, and I'm thankful for the love. And I'm very thankful for the people helping to keep this music alive. Without people like you, it wouldn't have the legs that it has."
Neil is on the road playing sets mixing solo tunes with Motley classics, and has a busy year of live dates ahead. "Listen, I love the stuff," he says. "I proudly call the tour, 'The Legacy Continues.' You have to live every day like it could be your last, but I also plan on doing some great things ahead. I am who I am in my own skin, and I'm OK with it." Read more

Instead, his band concentrate on making the music they want to make, and leave others to decide for themselves what they'll do. Asked about "carrying the torch into the next generation," Wilson tells Greenville Online: "I gave up on that a long time ago.
"As far as standing up on a soapbox, trying to preach to people about things that they have no desire to do and they're not capable of doing - you're just barking up the wrong tree. So you just do what you like." Read more
