It’s Monday, so let’s kick off the work week with your music news headlines…
If someone tells you that Gregg Allman is dying, don’t believe them. Rumors that Gregg was admitted to hospice care this past week are not true, and Gregg personally told fans that, yes, he’s not well, but expects to make a full recovery and get back on tour.
If you’ve always wanted to have breakfast with a Beatle then this could be your chance. Ringo Starr announced last week that one lucky fan (chosen randomly) who makes a donation to the David Lynch Foundation through Omaze (omaze.com) will win a smashing an all-expense trip to Los Angeles, with luxurious hotel accommodations, to meet and have breakfast with Ringo.
When you’re a tribute band, you hardly get the respect you richly deserve. The Metallica tribute band ‘Blistered Earth’ had their gear stolen while out on tour in Portland, OR last week, but never fear as the real Metallica has promised to pay for the replacement guitars, amps, and gear stolen.
The highly anticipated movie ‘Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 2’ hits the theaters May 5th and the soundtrack will make your head spin with delight. Fleetwood Mac, ELO, Cheap Trick, Cat Stevens, Looking Glass, Sweet, and even David Hasselhoff songs appear in the film.
