#WhatsHappening for March 21, 2017

Good Tuesday morning, kids. 

I'm home with the flu, or sinus issues, or a cold- some kind of creeping crud that just won't seem to hit the bricks.

So far this morning, I've watched The Wicker Tree- the sequel to the "cult favorite" movie The Wicker Man (which I also sat through, going "huh?" And I mean the original, with Edward Woodward and Sir Christopher Lee- not the Nic Cage remake, which I knew would be pointless), and (so far) two episodes of Married... With Children. 

I loved that show. Mostly. The episodes where Cheech Marin voiced Buck were kind of lame- as was the season where they had the cousin's kid. He was like the Cousin Oliver of the show. I hate that I know that reference. Anyway...

The family of the late Chuck Berry released a statement on Facebook yesterday saying that details of the legend's final album will be released this week. 

"Working to prepare the release of this record in recent months and in fact over the last several years brought Chuck a great sense of joy and satisfaction. While our hearts are very heavy at this time, we know that Chuck had no greater wish than to see this album released to the world, and we know of no better way to celebrate and remember his 90 years of life than through his music.

For months now plans have been in place, and preparations have been made with our friends at Dualtone Records, to reveal further details and music from the album this week. As a tribute to Chuck Berry, and with gratitude to his fans around the world, we will be following through on those plans in the coming days."

The news that Berry would be recording a new set after a four-decade hiatus last October 18- Barry's 90th birthday. CHUCK will feature "mostly original songs."

Enrique Iglesias and Pitbull are hitting the road together again- kicking a North American tour on June 3 at Chicago’s AllState Arena.

The opening act for the 16 city tour will be the boy band CNCO from the Univision reality show La Banda.

Tickets go on sale Friday and the tour will play the Infinite Energy Center on June 25.

Kim Campbell, wife of Glen Campbell, says the country legend has lost his ability to play guitar to Alzheimer's.

Kim Campbell tells The Tennessean that her husband continues to sing, although the words are gibberish and "it's not a melody that we recognize, but you can tell that it's a happy song and he has a song in his heart," so that brings her great comfort. She said he also occasionally breaks into a solo air guitar routine, which she says is "kind of fun."

Sadly for Campbell's family, those moments are about the best they're ever going to be able to hope for. Having lost my mother to Alzheimer's, Campbell's story hits close to home. I hope he is, at the very least, comfortable.

And millions of men and women need a moment to collect themselves.

I mean, she's definitely pretty, but... Russel Brand. I can't get past that. 'Cause, you know, I have a shot...

Despite the rumors, it now appears that Diana Ross is unlikely to play the "legends" slot for Glastonbury 2017.

Ross is scheduled to play the Ziff Ballet Opera House on the same day the festival closes- making her appearance unlikely since the venues are separated by some 4300 miles. 

In the wake of that announcement, rumors began to circulate that Phil Collins, Barry Gibb, or The Eagles might close the show instead (though Don Henley said more than once that there were no Eagles without Glenn Frey). 

Nile Rodgers confirmed yesterday that he'd be performing at the festival, while Ed Sheeran was recently announced as the third headliner, joining Radiohead and Foo Fighters as the Pyramid Stage acts. 

Other rumored performers include Depeche Mode, Liam Gallagher, and Lady Gaga. The full line up will be announced later this month.

Birthdays today include: MC Maxim of Prodigy; Andrew Copeland of Sister Hazel; Jonas Berggren of Ace Of Base; Sean Dickson of Soup Dragons; Conrad Lozano of Los Lobos; Russell Thompkins, Jr.; Roger Hodgson of Supertramp; Eddie Money; and Rosemary Stone of Sly & The Family Stone. #MusicalBirthdays
