Hey, hey- it's Saturday! Ready for some
hot-cha-cha karaoke action tonight? Yeah, yeah- settle down. I'm not
even set up yet (if you're reading this before noon). Here's
#WhatsHappening:
Former Stone Temple
Pilots and Velvet Revolver front man Scott Weiland was found dead on
his tour bus early yesterday morning in Bloomington, Minnesota.
Police said a small
amount of cocaine was found near Weiland's body and that they had
taken Weiland's bassist, Tommy Black, into custody for possession of
a controlled substance.
TMZ had reported
earlier this week that Weiland, who had a history of substance abuse,
had relapsed into crack cocaine usage and heavy drinking.
A unnamed source
tells Billboard magazine that Eagles of Death Metal will join U2 on
stage for their final song at Paris' AccorHotels Arena Sunday or
Monday. The Paris cameo will include co-founder Josh Homme, who often
does not tour with the band and was not present during last month's
attack at the band's show.
The source also said
Eagles of Death Metal would resume its halted European tour in Feb.
2016. A representative for the band they had no comment on the
reports.
Ringo Starr and
Barbara Bach have been auctioning a number of their personal
belongings at Julien's auction house this month and the big prize is
Ringo's mono copy of “The Beatles” (often incorrectly identified
as “The White Album”).
So, what makes
Ringo's copy such a prize? It's the original pressing- as in, it's #
0000001.
John, Paul, George
and Ringo were each given one of the first four pressings of the
double LP in the late '60s, and it was recently revealed that Starr
got the first one, which he stored in a London vault for 35 years.
“The top load
sleeve is in near mint minus condition and would be near mint if not
for the bumped upper right front gatefold corner, but it is overall
very clean and fresh with very minor abrasions,” according to a
description on Julien's website.
At last report,
bidding was over $100,000 and on-going. Starr's drum kit from his
Beatles' days sold earlier this week for over $2 million.
