Here are the latest rock and roll headlines…
The remaining Todd Rundgren “Yes 2017 Festival of Love Tour’ has been canceled due to the death of Yes guitarist Steve Howe’s son Virgil. Virgil was in his own band called Little Barrie, but if you watch the ‘Better Call Saul’ TV show, you’ll hear him in the theme song.
Steely Dan has announced a few more fall dates in spite of the death of original Steely Dan member Walter Becker who passed away a few weeks ago. Sadly, the band will miss Walter but insist it’s what he would have wanted.
The cast of the Queen biopic ‘Bohemian Rhapsody’ which begins filming this fall will include none other than the actor (and Wayne’s World star) Mike Myers. The primary cast will feature Rami Malek, who will play Freddie, Gwilym Lee as Brian May, Ben Hardy as Roger Taylor, and Joe Mazello will play John Deacon.
