    Glenn Hughes (ex-Deep Purple, etc.) has revealed that he will be retiring from live shows. The decision was related to health issues.

    The following statement was issued:

    “GLENN HUGHES ANNOUNCEMENT

    LIVE SHOWS CANCELLED

    Rock and Roll Hall of Fame inductee Glenn Hughes announces his retirement from touring and live performances.

    Upon his Doctor’s advice, Glenn will have to undergo heart surgery and has made the difficult decision to step back from live performances for the foreseeable future.

    ‘This past year, I’ve had some health issues. The results from numerous MRIs, CT scans, and an echocardiogram have alerted my medical team, that I need another open-heart surgery. I really have no option and no choice as health is my number one priority. Grateful to have been chosen with a life full with the gift of music… Thank you for walking beside me.’

    – Your friend Glenn”

    Joe Hahn added:

    “’UNSHATTER‘ follows a very particular moment in Linkin Park’s history and documents a path through loss, uncertainty, friendship, and reinvention. I hope longtime fans see parts of our journey they’ve never seen before, and I hope people who are just discovering our music come away with a better understanding of how we got here. But even beyond Linkin Park, I hope people connect with it as a story about relationships, resilience, and what it really takes to move forward when you don’t have all the answers.”

  • Burial Path Share Video For “Lilitu” Feat. Abigail Bexx

    Burial Path have released a new song titled “Lilitu.” An official video for the track, which features Abigail Bexx, can be found below:

    Guitarist Matthew McClure commented:

    “‘Lilitu’ is about rejecting imposed identity. The song progresses through several emotions, from recognizing the oppression of imposed identity to reclaiming one’s true identity and the freedom from that imposition. This is a psalm of rejecting the ‘authority’ that imposes identity and fighting the ideology that sustains it.”

    Abigail Bexx added:

    “There’s a quiet pressure that comes with being a woman in extreme music. Before you open your mouth, people have already decided what you’ll sound like, what you’ll be capable of, or whether you belong at all. ‘Lilitu’ was born from that tension. It’s about every woman who’s ever felt reduced to someone else’s expectations and choosing to stand anyway.”

    The group commented:

    “To our European family,

    With heavy hearts, we’re so sorry to announce that we must cancel our August European shows.

    Due to unforeseen issues obtaining our Schengen visas, we’re unable to travel as planned. Despite exhausting every possible avenue over the past few months, we’ve reached the point where there’s simply no way for us to make these shows.

    This decision is heartbreaking, but it’s one we have no choice but to make. Unfortunately, this situation is completely beyond our control.

    We know how much you were looking forward to these nights, and we’re devastated to miss you. We’re also incredibly sorry to the promoters, festivals, venues and everyone who worked so hard to make these shows happen. Thank you for your love, patience and understanding. We can’t wait to see you when we’re able to return.

    Affected shows:
    13.08 – Vienna, Austria @ Weberknecht
    15.08 – Trier, Germany @ The Forum
    16.08 – Bochum, Germany @ Trompete
    17.08 – Hamburg, Germany @ Betty
    18.08 – Nijmegen, The Netherlands @ Doornroosje
    19.08 – Münster, Germany @ Sputnikhalle
    21.08 – Andernach, Germany @ DEATHFEAST OPEN AIR
    22.08 – Litomerice, Czech Republic @ DEATH COFFEE PARTY

    These cancellations do not affect our upcoming US tour with All Shall Perish, Carnifex and Mauled.

    They also do not affect our upcoming European tour with Mental Cruelty, Ov Sulfur, Acranius and Sun Eater later this year.”

  • Beat (Ex-King Crimson, Etc.) Recruit Drummer Terry Bozzio, Announce Fall Tour

    Beat, the project featuring former King Crimson members Adrian Belew and Tony Levin alongside Steve Vai, have recruited Terry Bozzio as their new drummer. He replaces Danny Carey in the group. The band’s first tour with Bozzio will take place this fall.

    Belew commented:

    “For those of you who’ve seen Beat live, it’s important to note we’ll be adding some material from ’90s Crim to our U.S. tour. Along with the addition of superman drummer Terry Bozzio, we feel this will result in a new experience for our audience. We’re very excited to play for you again. Don’t miss it!

    Our deepest appreciation goes to our brother Danny Carey — a true Beat-poet. His extraordinary musicianship, generosity, humor, and explosive creativity helped establish Beat as something far beyond a tribute. He helped create its identity. While Tool commitments keep him from joining us this fall, he remains an essential part of our family.””

    Vai continued:

    “Terry is one of the truly legendary drummers of our time, whose remarkable career and unique musical voice make him the perfect artist to join us for this tour. He brings his own extraordinary artistry to Beat, and that’s something worth celebrating.”

    Bozzio added:

    “All of these guys are my friends and excellent musicians who I’ve played with before! When I was asked to join this tour, I was honored and very grateful to do it!”
