It is reported that My Chemical Romance front man Gerard Way has married his girlfriend, ‘Lyn Z,’ bassist in the band Mindless Self Indulgence.

The low-budget ceremony is purported to have taken place backstage on Monday (September 3), after the band supported Linkin Park at the Projekt Revolution concert in Denver, Colorado.

The ceremony was apparently overseen by an official from concert promoters Live Nation, who also happened to be an ordained minister.

The reported marriage makes Way the second member of My Chemical Romance to get married in 2007. Earlier this year, Way’s brother and band mate, Mikey, also tied the knot.

Most Popular albums of My Chemical Romance are Three Cheers For Sweet Revenge,I ‘m Not Okay(I Promise),I Brought You My Bullets,You Brought Me Your Love.

Ozzy Osbourne’s touring Ozzfest show has been marred by another controversy after an off-duty police officer was attacked while trying to make an arrest on Tuesday night. According to North Carolina police, one officer suffered minor injuries in a scuffle at the Verizon Wireless Amphitheatre show in Charlotte, where he was working as a security guard. The crowds at these concerts are so unruly and badly behaved that either there should limited entry or adequate security arrangements should be put in place before there is any confirmation on the concert taking place. But police officials insist this was one incident during an otherwise trouble-free event. Hey like if the police do not have problems tackling these maniacs then I should not be saying this, all you boys and girls go out there and have a ball. Smash some window panes and rip off the concert coz the police ain’t fear struck of you.

They’re in their 50s now, and they’ve traded their long heavy-metal locks for close-cropped cuts, but the original members of Van Halen are back in business and promise that they’re better than ever.

“Usually, when a band comes back like us, it’s rockers with walkers,” frontman David Lee Roth told reporters at the Four Seasons Hotel here on Monday. “This is anything but.”

Van Halen held a press conference to announce a 25-date concert tour beginning Sept. 27 in Charlotte, N.C. The re-formed group features three original members Roth, guitarist Eddie Van Halen and drummer Alex Van Halen along with Eddie Van Halen’s son, Wolfgang, on bass.

“This is not a reunion,” said Roth, 51. “This is a whole new band.”

“It is totally blowing our minds and I think it will yours, too,” said Eddie Van Halen, 52. “It’s better than it’s ever been.”

With its flamboyant frontman, “Diamond Dave,” Van Halen was one of the most popular rock bands of the 1980s. But the group split up in 1985 and the original lineup hasn’t performed together since.

“I’m shocked any of us are still vertical,” Roth quipped.

He and Eddie Van Halen insisted that the band’s reunion isn’t just a one-tour deal. After performing throughout North America, Van Halen plans to hit Asia and Australia.

“Then we make an album,” Roth said, adding that the group has “lots of dreams, lots of ambitions.”

“We really have re-formed this team like a brother team that it never was before,” he said.

Wolfgang Van Halen, 16, brings “a young energy and a spirit” to the band, Roth said, adding that the teenage rocker chose the tour’s song list, which features “close to 25 of your greatest hits.”

“You know every single song, you know every guitar lick, every woo, every kick, every jump, every drum lick,” he said. “We can’t afford to shirk that duty.”

The band has been rehearsing since October and plans to exceed fans’ expectations, Roth said.

British pop star Lily Allen has disappointed fans by canceling a series of upcoming gigs across Europe after falling victim to illness. The Smile singer was due to play four dates later this month, but has been forced to pull out of any performances while she recovers from sinusitis - a condition she believes has been caused by excessive world travel. Posting on her MySpace blog - accompanied by a photo of her holding a doctor’s note - she writes, “I’ve literally been around the whole world in two weeks from London to Japan around Australia and then to LA and Vegas then back to LA for a 17 hour video shoot. That docs prescription is a fake, she is suffering from a thing called ‘exhaustion’ something that is literally similar to what Amy Winehouse is suffering from and all these girls from Paris to Lindsay to Amy to Lilly all have the same drugs problems and none will tell us so. They just don’t have the energy to carry themselves for a week and anything above a week of hard work makes them awfully tired. All of them are a bunch of drug addicts.

British pop star  is feeling depressed after suffering a broken rib in a recent boxing match - because the injury means he is unable to play soccer for the next three months. Ha Ha I’d rather be devastated than gutted. Can’t play soccer for three month’s poor baby by the look of him in the picture above he look’s happy as a pig in X@@##!. What the hell is the problem with this guy, why can’t anyone throw him into a mental asylum? He sees God at times and then has all sorts of problems that if revealed could just destroy his image. The sight him is a depression to me and if you ever ask him the truth then he could candidly admit that he himself has a depression upon seeing in the mirror. For me, talking or writing about this chap is pure waste of time. So I better stop right here right now.

These girls are so doll like things that take them out for a stroll in the park outside their protective areas and they will catch infections. She just couldn’t have made the whole tour without falling ill at some point of time. They liked to nested in their surroundings and are so prone to fall sick at the first instance of being out of the hibernation. She says that unfortunately she couldn’t recover in time and can’t wait till then next time to have chance to perform in New Zealand. But the benefit of doubt can be passed onto her as she is rumored to be pregnant with husband Jordan Bratman’s baby and still on tour which I think is commendable under the circumstances. Never mind babes, there’s always a second chance and we sincerely hope that you keep in good health coz health is wealth. But who am I telling all this to, these stars care a damn about health issue, there are all addicts in some or the other way.

Some of the latest news coming out of the Gwen Stefani camp is that she may have to cancel a Malaysian show date. Her Sweet Escape tour is scheduled to pass through Malaysia but have to cancel. A Muslim group has branded the pop star as indecent and obscene and they believe that she offends Islamic beliefs. The video clips used to promote the event were deemed too racy. I find it shocking that nobody does their homework anymore. Travelling to those countries involves a level of research. They have so many different ways and beliefs and if you aren’t aware of them, you run the risk of insulting people. Remember when Cameron Diaz did it with her bag? Hollywood has gotten so cocky that they seem to think they are accepted as they are everywhere, but the reality is they are only accepted in Hollywood itself. A concert cancellation is being let off easy. Some countries may have stoned her.

Progressive metal band Queensryche has begun working on the follow-up to last year’s “Operation: Mindcrime II” in Seattle.

Frontman Geoff Tate tells Billboard.com he hopes the as-yet-untitled set will arrive next summer or fall.

“We’re just into the first couple months of writing for it, and it’s a theme record. It’s based on modern American life, sort of a social commentary,” Tate says. “Musically it’s very adventurous for us. It’s something we haven’t done before. It’s going to take a lot of people by surprise, and at the same time I think they’re going to be very intrigued by the concept of it.”

The band, which hits the road in September with Heaven And Hell and Alice Cooper, will release “Sign of the Times,” its second greatest-hits collection on EMI, prior to the tour. Among hits like “Walk in the Shadows” and “Silent Lucidity,” the two-disc set contains rarities like songs from Myth, the band Tate sang in before joining Queensryche, that later became demos for early QR tunes like “No Sanctuary.”

“Sign of the Times” also includes a recent interview with Tate and former Queensryche guitarist Chris DeGarmo. In it Tate says he and DeGarmo hang out often and write together, but the musical work they’ve done is on a “casual” basis.

Meanwhile, Queensryche is enjoying the success of its double-CD/DVD package “Mindcrime at the Moore.” The live set captures the band playing both “Mindcrime” albums in their entirety on tour last year. Released July 3, the title debuted at a career-best No. 1 on Billboard’s Top Music DVD chart.

Mom Sheryl Crow waits offstage as hired nanny Marva keeps her 3-month old adopted son Wyatt at bay. He’s quieted with a pacifier at the Crossroads Guitar Festival in Chicago on Saturday. Sheryl also put on some noise-canceling headphones on baby Wyatt to keep the kid from going deaf as she performed on stage with Eric Clapton.

But it seems to me that the noise should be the least of her worries. Does anyone else think that baby Wyatt looks tortured? And why does nanny Marva look like she doesn’t give a damn? Mommy needs to figure something out and fast.

Kiss lead singer and guitarist Paul Stanley had to bow out of a Southern California concert because of heart problems before the show, according to his Web site.

Band-mates Gene Simmons, Tommy Thayer and Eric Singer played the Friday night gig at Soboba Casino, about 90 miles east of Los Angeles, as Stanley was taken to the hospital.

“During sound check yesterday, my heart spontaneously jumped to 190 plus beats per minute where it stayed for over an hour necessitating paramedics to start an IV and give me a shot to momentarily stop my heart and get it into a normal pattern,” Stanley said in the Saturday Web site posting.

“Not knowing if this episode was life threatening made it even more exhausting,” the statement continued.

Phone and e-mail messages for Kiss manager Doc McGhee seeking comment about Stanley’s condition were not immediately returned Saturday night.

It was Kiss’ first ever appearance as a trio, according to the band’s Web site.

As famous for their makeup, stage mayhem and wagging tongues as their music, Kiss recorded the 1970s hits “Rock and Roll All Nite” and “Detroit Rock City.”

The 55-year-old Stanley, born Stanley Eisen, released a solo album, “Live to Win,” in 2006.

Blues singer Etta James is in stable condition in a Los Angeles hospital, suffering from complications following abdominal surgery, her manager said on Wednesday.

The 69-year-old rock ‘n’ roll pioneer was admitted to Cedars-Sinai Medical Center, following the mid-June surgery, Lupe De Leon wrote in an email to Reuters.

James hopes to be well enough by the end of August to join blues icon B.B. King and soul veteran Al Green on a tour that began in Florida on Tuesday.

“If it had been left solely up to her, she would have checked herself out of the hospital and started the tour regardless of her delicate health,” De Leon said. “However, her doctor advised that were she to do so, it would put her at very great risk.”

R&B singer Chaka Khan is substituting for James on the tour.

James helped pioneer rock ‘n’ roll in the mid-1950s with tunes such as “The Wallflower” and “Good Rockin’ Daddy.” She diversified into mainstream blues, soul and R&B during the 1960s, after signing with Chess Records. The three-time Grammy winner was inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in 1993, and remains an active recording artist.

Pearl Jam will play a private show for fan club members in Chicago on August 2, three days before its headlining stint at the city’s Lollapalooza festival, the rock group said on Tuesday.

Tickets for the show at the Vic Theatre will go on sale on Thursday, priced at $150 per pair (plus applicable fees). The Vic’s capacity is about 1,400 people, according to the venue’s web site.

Lollapalooza is Pearl Jam’s only U.S. appearance planned for 2007. Apart from a three-week European tour last month, the group has been laying low this year. The Seattle quintet spent much of 2006 on the road in support of a new self-titled album, its first studio release in almost four years.

Contact between father and son had been rare and publicly cool for nearly 50 years, and few thought they would ever see Bebo Valdes, 89 in October, and his son Chucho, 66, on tour together.

And yet the Cuban jazz pianists are not only playing 10 concerts in Spain, but on July 10 they finished recording their first collaborative album. The currently untitled release is set for an October launch on Madrid-based Calle 54 Records, with distribution by Sony BMG Spain.

The tour, which includes Chucho’s vocalist sister and Bebo’s daughter, Mayra Caridad, began July 6 in Tenerife and ends August 5 in Huesca after passing through seven cities including Barcelona, Madrid and Zaragoza.

“The tour means not only the re-encounter of father and son, but a review of the history of Cuban music in the 20th century,” said tour promoter Joan Anton Cararach, who has been the director of the Barcelona Jazz Festival for four years.

“We put on one of their extremely rare concerts together last year and proposed a joint tour,” Cararach said. “Working with them is a blessing.”

Beginning in 1959, Chucho played in Bebo’s Sabor de Cuba band in Havana, but Bebo left Cuba for good in 1961 after differences with Fidel Castro’s revolution. Bebo had been a star in 1950s Cuba, but he spent nearly 40 years unrecognized, playing in piano bars in Stockholm.

He was rediscovered in 2000 by Spanish film director Fernando Trueba for his Latin jazz documentary “Calle 54.” Trueba, who won the 1992 Academy Award for best foreign-language film for “Belle Epoque,” co-produced the new album with Miami-based fellow Latin jazz specialist Nat Chediak.

At the Madrid tour launch, Chucho said, “Bebo is my hero and my ‘maestro,’ and on this tour I will rediscover things he taught me when I was a kid.”

Bebo responded, “This is a dream come true. Nobody in the world plays better than Chucho.”

Pop star Fergie was left red-faced after performing to an audience of only six at a village fair with 1990s girl group Wild Orchid. The singer - who has since performed at the world’s biggest arenas with pop group Black Eyed Peas - was left in tears by the terrible reaction her old band received. Did they interview the pigs to see if they liked the show? Pigs are quite musically inclined. And can do a pretty good piggy four step circle mud stomp. There should been at least a few hundred pigs out side listening to the group singing. If she just looked outside then she could well have found some solace by seeing those pigs that were present. But she should also be a happier person today, form the fact that there are now a few thousand people where ever she performs and this should really wash out that bad memory.

I guess that I had good ground by saying that Courtney Love was hardly recognizable. It’s not just her choice of clothing, it really is just her.

It was only months ago that Courtney showed off her new slender frame that represented herself in a healthy manner but it seems that she hasn’t gone off whatever diet she had. What remains of Courtney performed for a packed crowd at Hiro Ballroom in Manhattan a few days ago.

The 43-year old rocked the show with a few new tracks that is reportedly for a new album without her band Hole. One of the songs was even entitled ‘How Dirty Girls Get Clean’.

I have a song for her. It’s called ‘How Courtney Turns to Bones’.

4500 fans ended up being disappointed when they found out that Amy Winehouse canceled her July 4 show in Liverpool. It doesn’t help when you find out that she was seen drinking out later that evening.

The ‘Rehab’ singer called off the concert due to a supposed illness. It’s not good to know that the supposed illness was a bad case of a hangover. Then she goes out that night to have some drinks at a London Pub with her hubby. She was also seen drinking the previous day.

I think Amy is over wanting to sing for a living. I think she wants to drink for a living.

As part of the Live Earth concert series, John Mayer let everyone in on what’s been going on in his head as he blogged about his thoughts on climate change.

A few days before the event, Mayer wrote the following:

“I hope that for all the cynicism that’s existed around this subject, we can all uncross our arms long enough to give this event a chance to impact the world in the way that I’m beginning to feel that it could. Now isn’t the time to dissect the rights and wrongs. (If you’re hoping Live Earth doesn’t work, you have a lot of soul-searching to do.)”

“Live Earth isn’t a show - it’s a showing, a presentation of an idea. Artists like us don’t just get together to each play 20 minute sets every weekend, you know. We’re also usually pretty sensitive about the order in which we take the stage, and I’ve got no problems with my 5:12 PM set time.”

He goes on to say that every single artist playing is just an opener for the true headliner – the power to change the world’s mind. Feel the power!

Sunday’s Concert for Diana didn’t end well for Elton John. When Sir Elton’s chauffeur-driven ride was stopped on his way to the after party, he busted out in a rage. All cars were barred 50 yards away for security reasons but he didn’t care. He chewed out a cop and screamed several frustrated and expletive-filled rants.

Sources are saying that the ‘Tiny Dancer’ singer was in an especially bad mood due to his being forced to cut his finale performance short due to some technical difficulties.

Pfft. Wasn’t he the only artist to perform on the stage twice that night? He should have felt thankful for actually being asked to do that. I’d have felt saturated with him.

The Grammy winner has signed up with Nashville-based Starstruck Entertainment and that Reba McEntire’s hubby, Starstruck CEO Narvel Blackstock, will step up as her personal manager. “Kelly is an incredible talent with an unlimited future,” Blackstock said in a statement. “We are thrilled to be working with her.” Blackstock, a former member of McEntire’s band before becoming her manager in 1988 and then her husband a year later, also reps “Nobody But Me” crooner Blake Shelton. I saw the Crossroads episode and I thought she and Reba sound just wonderful together!! Kelly, keep doing what your heart is telling you. To many people worry about what everyone else thinks that they loose the love they started off with. You are a beautiful and talented young lady!! Don’t change a darn thing!!!!! Clarkson will be at Giants Stadium in New Jersey this weekend, joining Bon Jovi, Dave Matthews Band, Kanye West, Smashing Pumpkins, Alicia Keys and many others for the U.S. installment of Live Earth.

Jazz vocalist Sophie Millman reckons that her sophomore album reflects “all of the turbulence, transformations and drama” in her life.

And there’s been plenty: The 24-year-old, widely tipped locally as the next major jazz artist to emerge from Canada, was born in Ufa, Russia — on the slopes of the Ural Mountains — but her family immigrated to Haifa, Israel, when she was 7. At 16, Millman was uprooted again when the family moved to Canada.

Toronto-based Linus Entertainment released Millman’s self-titled debut in Canada in 2004. Since then, she has balanced a music career’s demands with her university studies for a commerce degree, which she will finish in June 2008.

Millman, who managed to fit in headlining shows throughout North America, Mexico, Japan and Europe after her debut’s release, admits that “it’s been tough. I was learning my craft under incredible pressure. Meanwhile, I wrote essays on buses, cars and planes.”

Jazz CJRT Toronto music director Brad Barker noted that Millman’s approach is “less blues-based” than that of many other jazz singers, citing “the Eastern European flair she brings to her music.”

The June 19 Canadian release of her new album, “Make Someone Happy,” on Linus/Universal Music precedes an August 28 U.S. release through Koch.

“I was itching to make another record,” Millman said.

A June 10-city Canadian tour precedes U.S. shows scheduled for August 20-28.

“Make Someone Happy” continues its predecessor’s all-covers approach, placing standards like the title track alongside “Matchmaker, Matchmaker” from “Fiddler on the Roof” and Canadian pop-rock act the Guess Who’s 1969 hit “Undun.”

Singer Rod Stewart was forced to miss the Silver Clef music awards in London after injuring his leg on stage.
The 62-year-old newly-wed had planned to attend the ceremony at the Regent’s Park Hilton in London to collect its inaugural Icon award.

But a freak fall during a rain-soaked gig in Manchester on Thursday night left him requiring 10 stitches.

His spokeswoman confirmed he would still be appearing at this weekend’s Concert for Diana at Wembley Stadium.

Stewart’s concert at Twickenham Stadium on Saturday is also unaffected.

“Rod Stewart was unable to attend the Nordoff-Robbins Silver Clef lunch to receive his Icon award after cutting his leg on a wet, slippery metal step while making his entrance on stage last night,” his spokeswoman said

US rock singer Lenny Kravitz has been revealed as the headline act for the Brazilian leg of Live Earth.
Other acts confirmed for the concert on Rio’s Copacabana Beach include Pharrell Williams and Macy Gray.
Eight cities will be holding concerts across 24 hours on 7 July to highlight climate change.
Madonna and Duran are playing the UK concert at Wembley Stadium, while the US leg will see The Police, Alicia Keys and the Smashing Pumpkins perform.
Brazil is the only country hosting a Live Earth concert that is entirely free and open to the public, and organisers are hoping to attract up to one million visitors.

Aside from the US acts, Rio will play host to a number of native performers, including singer Xuxa, reggae rock band O Rappa and rapper Marcelo D2.
Other countries hosting concerts include Germany, Japan, Australia, China and South Africa. Linkin Park and Rihanna are headlining the Japan concert, while UB40 and Joss Stone will be playing in China.
The Istanbul concert was recently scrapped because of a lack sponsorship and interest in the Turkish event.

Former US Vice-President Al Gore, who is one of those involved in organising the events, said he expected Live Earth to attract “an audience of billions”.

60-year old rock legend Iggy Pop helped Anthony Kiedis of the Red Hot Chili Peppers a glimpse at his future when he took the stage at the Glastonbury Festival.

Iggy & The Stooges killed the second day of the British music festival with songs from their new album ‘The Weirdness’. I’ll say.

The weirdness of having to see his sagging skin is enough to terrify me from a picture. I can’t imagine what the live concert goers felt after seeing that. Honestly, I respect the man for his music and continuing to rock it, but he needs to learn to put a shirt on.

As part of the “Jazz at the Hyatt” series at the Hyatt Regency Hotel in downtown Cincinnati, jazz pianist Rachel Z and the Dept. of Good and Evil will perform two full sets, which will also be streamed live over the Internet.

Pianist/keyboardist Rachel Z has toured with Peter Gabriel and performed with Wayne Shorter, including an appearance on his record High Life which won a Grammy for Best Contemporary Jazz Album.
The concert will be held in the Sun garden Room of the hotel, located at 151 West 5th St., Cincinnati, Ohio.
The price for both shows is $5 advance, $10 day of show.
Tickets are available on the Web site, where sample videos from previous concerts as well as the calendar of other upcoming performers can also be found.

When the Smashing Pumpkins reunited after seven years to plan a U.S. concert series, they made a surprising choice for their first shows: a small club in the mountains of North Carolina.

The Orange Peel, which has a capacity of 942 people, will host the alternative rock band when they open Saturday for a nine-show run in Asheville.”It’s a legendary band in a small setting,” said Cory Gates, 33, of Asheville, a longtime fan who saw the Smashing Pumpkins play in New England in the mid-1990s. “I don’t know if you can get much better.”

More bands reject rather than accept invitations to play at the club, said Karen Ramshaw of Public Interest Projects, which owns and operates The Orange Peel.
But the Smashing Pumpkins sought it out, said Tennessee-based music promoter Ashley Capps, who helped coordinate the band’s U.S. return.

A tribute concert will be held for the late Diana, Princess of Wales on what would have been her 46th birthday. NBC presents ‘Concert for Diana’ which will have a primetime special airing on July 1 at 8 pm.

“We wanted to have this big concert … full of energy, full of the sort of fun and happiness which I know she would have wanted,” said Prince William. “And on her birthday as well, it’s got to be the best birthday present she ever had.”

The concert is a celebration by Diana’s sons Princes William and Harry to commemorate her life and achievements. It will be hosted by Matt Lauer with feature performers that reflect Diana’s and her sons’ tastes including Elton John, Duran Duran, Bryan Ferry, Joss Stone, Pharell Williams, Lily Allen, Kanye West, Rod Stewart, Natasha Bedingfield, The Feeling, James Morrison, Orson, Status Quo, Take That, Nelly Furtado, Diddy, Tom Jones, Will Young, Supertramp and Roger Hudson plus more.

When you are a millionaire and have wealth exceeding that of your father, then probably you never need you father’s wealth. Every father hopes to leave their son some savings when they die. But when your son is multi-millionaire Rolling Stone singer Sir Mick Jagger it does not seem appropriate. Instead, Joe Jagger, who died in November last year at the age of 93, left almost everything to Mick’s younger brother Chris, 59, whose career as a musician has never hit the same heights. Despite not receiving a penny, Mick, 63 - who is worth a reported 215million pounds - was made executor of his father’s £253,000 estate. Well this should not be a dampener for Mr. Jagger as a worth 215 million pounds is enough to live out at least a hundred years and we hope Sir Mick Jagger does live more than his father did.

Victoria Beckham launched her new line of denim at Saks in NYC last week. Several die-hard Spice Girls fans were there to greet her. Yes. They still exist.

One fan hogged Posh though as he spent a long time asking about the rumored Spice Girls reunion, getting his picture taken with her and then emphatically saying that she was his favorite out of all the girls. Posh was eating it all up and soaked in the compliments.

But the moment Posh said goodbye to her supposed number one fan, the guy turned to the rest of the crowd and said he was just being nice and that Ginger was his real favorite.

I get why. For one thing, Ginger doesn’t have a penchant for shoving her boobs on whatever camera.

The former American Idol star was forced to cancel her forthcoming UK tour due to poor ticket sales.
The singer had a number of dates scheduled across her homeland, but all of the shows have now been called off and refunds issued from the various sellers.
After the cancel of her tour the singer made a statement on official website. She told her fans: ”I can’t tell you how much I’ve been looking forward to getting out there to perform for y’all. In the craziness of the music business, performing is what I look forward to doing the most, so it really is disappointing for me to have to tell you that I won’t be coming out to tour this summer. The fact is that touring is just too much too soon.”
Clarkson said that her next tour in the UK would be scheduled as soon as possible after the singer prepares for the release of her new album “My December”.
“I promise you that we’re going to get back out there as soon as is humanly possible to give you a show that will be even better. Thanks for all of your love and continued support.”
Michael Rapino, chief executive of concert promoters LiveNation, told the Reuters news agency that sales had not been as successful as hoped.
He told reporters: ”Ticket sales have not been what we anticipated and we came to the realisation that we had bit off more than we could chew.”
Clarkson won the first series of American Idol and his released two highly successful pop albums in the US.

Broken Dolls just released their new single on Southern Fried Records. It is called “Stronger” and their highly awaited self-titled debut album is to be released on the 23rd of July. What is interesting with the band is that they record in a home studio and are helped by some acclaimed producers like Jagz Kooner and Jim Abbiss. Broken Dolls combine rock and dance influences with a mixture of classic songwriting and dance floor grooves. The band declared:

“We produced the track ourselves, and it’s all about our journey to this point. It hasn’t been easy, but we feel that the album we’ve made is hugely important. Stronger is really important to everyone in the band.”

Tour dates are as follow:

16th June - The Nags, Nuneaton
