  • Jack White Invites Twin Temple To Open For Him Following Their Removal From Charley Crockett’s Tour

    As previously reported, Twin Temple were recently kicked off Charley Crockett’s tour due to their satanic imagery. As such, Jack White has now reached out to offer them an opening slot on his September 29 show at The Hollywood Palladium in Los Angeles, CA.

    White said the following:

    “Twin Temple, Would you like to open my show in L.A. on September 29th at the Hollywood Palladium? Let me know. Get in front of me Satan!”

    Twin Temple’s Alexandra James then responded:

    “Unholy hell…. Sir Jack, you have no idea what this means to us. Lifelong fans- dead ‘leaves on the dirty ground’ was one of the first songs I (Alex) ever learned on guitar. We were actually planning on coming to this show. It would be a most infernal pleasure to play the devils music with you”

  • Shinedown’s Eric Bass To Sit Out Immediate Live Shows Following “Serious Mental Health Crash”

    Shinedown bassist Eric Bass has revealed that he will be missing the band’s immediate live shows. He decided to take a break from the band after suffering a “serious mental health crash.”

    Bass said the following:

    “Hey, everybody. It’s Eric from Shinedown. I don’t really know any other way to do this than to just do it off the cuff. None of this is prepared. But I have an announcement to make. I’m not going to be joining the band on the beginning of this tour that starts in a few days.

    I had a pretty serious mental health crash, I guess you could say, a few weeks ago, couple of weeks ago. And I don’t really feel it’s the wise thing for me to do to go out on tour right now.

    You know, I’ve debated whether or not to make this announcement at all and just not be there and then show back up when it’s time. But mental health being such a thing that I have championed, and the band has championed, I thought that it would be not the best look to maybe seem like I’m ashamed of it.

    So, yeah, I can’t go into any details about it. I’m doing a really great treatment at the Medical University of South Carolina called TMS. It’s actually an electrical stimulation protocol that helps with depression. That mixed in with talk therapy and that kind of thing. And I’m feeling way better, so that’s good.

    But I just want everyone to know that I wanna be out there. It’s killing me to not be there. Josh Sturm and Zack Mack, two of our great friends, are coming out to help fill in for my stuff until I can come back out. I don’t have a timeline for that right now. Hopefully it will be sooner rather than later, but I wanna make sure that, you know, that I’m safe.

    I’m very blessed to be able to take a break like this. I know a lot of people can’t. And I would encourage anyone who maybe is a business owner out there, if you’ve got someone in your company who’s having issues like this, to give them some time if they need it. And also, if you’re going through a mental health crisis, to give yourself time as well, and to reach out to people.

    I did something I’d never done before in my fifty-one years on Earth, is I reached out to someone and I said, ‘I can’t do this on my own and I need help.’ And it led to some healing that I’m going through right now. So, it’s not an easy thing to do, to ask for help, but it has to be done.

    So, I love all of you. Thank you all for your understanding. I can’t wait to get back up on stage again. So, go out there and support Shinedown on the ‘Dance, Kid, Dance Act II‘ world tour. I will be back out there as soon as possible. And, yeah, thank you all for your understanding. Love everybody.”
