  • More Disturbing Details Surface Regarding POORSTACY’s Death

    TMZ have shared more disturbing details regarding the death of Carlito Junior Milfort, aka POORSTACY. The 26-year-old reportedly shot himself at a motel in Boca Raton, Florida after him and and his girlfriend, Nicole Grikstas, went on a drug bender with a child present.

    TMZ shared a summary of the situation:

    “Cops say Nicole told them she and Milfort arrived back at their hotel room around 11 PM Friday, Nov. 8 … where they both took some cocaine. Cops say Nicole told them a few hours later — around 3 AM — she took a dose of MDMA. Nicole told officers she and Milfort argued frequently throughout the night … accusing each other of infidelity. Police allege Nicole did not try to remove their child from the explosive environment.

    Nicole told cops Milfort accused her of hiding his drugs — she denied doing so. She told police he forcibly removed her clothing in order to check her vaginal and anal areas for hidden narcotics … before striking her multiple times.

    At this point, Nicole told police Milfort pulled out a gun and threatened to shoot her if she didn’t tell him where his drugs were … alternating between pointing the gun at himself and her over the next hour — before she says he put the gun to his head and pulled the trigger early Saturday morning.”

    Police ruled Milfort’s death as a suicide, but his family believe foul play was involved. They also determined that Grikstas failed to remove the child despite the presence of the drugs and gun. As such, she was arrested for child neglect.

  • Luke Spiller (The Struts) Covers Slade’s “Merry Xmas Everybody”

    Luke Spiller (The Struts) has shared a new video for his cover of Slade’s “Merry Xmas Everybody.” You can check that out below. Spiller commented:

    “Like so many of us, I have always loved Christmas. For me personally, it’s a time where I often travel back to the United Kingdom and spend quality time with my family after a long year of touring and seeing the world. I grew up listening to this song and have such great memories being surrounded by the people I love celebrating the year coming to a close. I wanted to put my own spin on this classic and decided to strip back the music so people can really focus on the lyrics. Slade were an incredible band and have been a huge influence on my own musical journey so I really wanted to do it justice. Merry Xmas Everybody!”

  • Rufus Publications Announce Fully Authorized Pantera Photo Book

    Rufus Publications have announced a fully authorized Pantera coffee table book. The effort will be released in spring 2026 and it will feature photos from Ross Halfin.

    The following was said about the book:

    “Rufus Publications is pleased to announce the fully authorised PANTERA, a brand new coffee table book from Ross Halfin.

    Over the last few years Ross has had unrestricted access to the band on tour, backstage, days off and of course, playing killer shows. This new, fully authorised book captures the current lineup in all its glory and Ross has also delved into his extensive Pantera archive featuring stunning photographs of the original 4 including Dimebag Darrell and Vinnie Paul, to produce a unique and often never-before-seen look at one of world’s most legendary metal bands. This is Pantera in the raw.

    A fully signed Pantera collectible book.
    This huge, A3 portrait coffee table book, with more than 300 pages, allows the images to breathe in a unique way and the edition comes in a distinctive, diamond plate style embossed slipcase. Only 666 numbered copies of the book are being made available and each copy is hand signed by Philip Anselmo, Charlie Benante, Rex Brown and Zakk Wylde.

    Pantera is one of the most successful heavy metal bands of all time. The lineup of Phil Anselmo, Rex Brown, Dimebag Darrell and Vinnie Paul recorded a series of ground breaking albums before the band’s 1994 album, Far Beyond Driven, debuted at number one on the Billboard 200 chart, pushing Pantera to sell more than twenty-five million albums worldwide! In 2022, Billboard reported that Brown and Anselmo were reuniting in 2023 for Pantera’s first major tour in 22 years. The updated lineup of Pantera played their first shows in 21 years in Latin America and have continued to tour the world.

    PANTERA by Ross Halfin can be pre-ordered from www.rufuspublications.com/rufusbooks/pantera/ on Thursday December 4th at 3pm UK time. It sells for £250 plus worldwide delivery. The book is expected to ship in Spring 2026.”
