Rock icon Ozzy Osbourne, who announced his retirement from touring earlier this year, revealed in a recent interview with Rolling Stone UK that he still hopes to perform live again, even as he takes it "one day at a time" due to his ongoing health struggles.

"It's really knocked me about," Osbourne said about a tumor discovered in one of his vertebrae during a fourth spinal surgery. "The second surgery went drastically wrong and virtually left me crippled. I thought I'd be up and running after the second and third, but with the last one they put a f-ing rod in my spine. They found a tumor in one of the vertebrae, so they had to dig all that out too. It's pretty rough, man, and my balance is all f-ed up."

"I'm taking it one day at a time, and if I can perform again, I will," he added. "I'm not going to get up there and do a half-hearted Ozzy looking for sympathy. What's the f-ing point in that? I'm not going up there in a f-ing wheelchair. I've seen Phil Collins perform recently, and he's got virtually the same problems as me. He gets up there in a wheelchair! But I couldn't do that."

Ozzy said that a final performance would give him a chance to say goodbye and express his gratitude to fans.

"For whatever reason, that's my goal to work to. To do those shows. If it's at Ozzfest or somewhere, or even a f-ing gig at the Roundhouse," he says. "If I can't continue doing shows on a regular basis, I just want to be well enough to do one show where I can say, 'Hi guys, thanks so much for my life.' That's what I'm working towards, and if I drop down dead at the end of it, I'll die a happy man."

IMAX and Pathe Live in partnership with Mercury Studios and Queen Films have announced that Queen Rock Montreal is headed to IMAX Theaters early next year.

The concert film, based on the rock band's 1981 live concert in Montreal, will be released in more than 400 IMAX theatres globally for four days beginning January 18.

The Saul Swimmer-directed film was digitally re-mastered for the first time into the image and sound quality of The IMAX Experience, including 12-channel surround sound, crystal-clear images, and IMAX's customized theatre geometry.

It features Freddie Mercury, Brian May, Roger Taylor and John Deacon take to the stage in a historic and exhilarating performance of their greatest hits including "We Will Rock You," "Somebody To Love," "Under Pressure," "Bohemian Rhapsody," "Another One Bites the Dust," "We Are The Champions" and additional songs from popular album The Game.

"I don't think we quite realized it at the time, but this film has preserved one of the highest peaks in Queen's touring life, on stage in the old glory days," said Queen's lead guitarist and co-founder Brian May. "The director was very much focused on Freddie, and this now stands as probably the most precious intimate capture ever of Mr. Mercury at his full awesome power."

Slipknot's Corey Taylor has seemingly denied rumors that Jeramie Kling is replacing Jay Weinberg as the masked band's new drummer.

Earlier this month, the iconic metal band announced the departure of Weinberg, who had joined Slipknot in 2014 following the departure of Joey Jordison a year earlier.

Weinberg, who is the son of longtime Bruce Springsteen & the E Street Band drummer Max Weinberg, played on the band's .5: The Gray Chapter (2014), We Are Not Your Kind (2019) and The End, So Far (2022).

Following, Weinberg's departure, fans started speculating on his replacement. One drummer at the forefront of the rumor mill so far has been Jeramie Kling, a former drummer for Venom Inc.

In a quickly deleted post on Instagram following the announcement of Weinberg's departure, Kling wrote, "Drumming is simply a matter of timing. Bring it to you. Invite the chaos." He also shared a graphic of Slipknot's logo.

On November 19, Kling posted another Instagram post featuring a photo of new drumming gear tagged with #im666, in reference to Slipknot's "Heretic Anthem" lyric, "if you're 555 / then I'm 666".

However, Taylor has taken to X, formerly Twitter, to put an end to Kling's teasing, writing, "To everyone wondering about our new drummer. It's not him. Stop letting him troll you. He's not even on the list." He concludes the post with #hesnot666.

Shane MacGowan, the lead singer of Celtic punk band The Pogues, has died at 65.

Announcing the news of his demise on social media, MacGowan's wife Victoria Mary Clarke said, "Shane... has gone to be with Jesus and Mary and his beautiful mother Therese."

She said her husband breathed his last on Thursday after a prolonged illness.

"There's no way to describe the loss that I am feeling and the longing for just one more of his smiles that lit up my world," Clarke wrote on Instagram.

MacGowan "will always be the light that I hold before me and the measure of my dreams and the love of my life and the most beautiful soul and beautiful angel and the sun and the moon and the start and end of everything that I hold dear," she added.

MacGowan, who had struggled with drugs and alcohol, was diagnosed with viral encephalitis in 2022 and was hospitalized.

He co-founded the Anglo-Irish band blending traditional Irish folk music with punk sounds in 1982 with Peter 'Spider' Stacy, Jem Finer and James Fearnley.

"Fairytale of New York," featuring McGowan and Kirsty MacColl, is considered as The Pogues' greatest hit.

Paying tribute to MacGowan, Irish Prime Minister Leo Varadkar said his "songs beautifully captured the Irish experience, especially the experience of being Irish abroad."

The Jesus And Mary Chain have announced a new album, Glasgow Eyes. The Scottish alternative rock duo also shared new single "jamcod."

Glasgow Eyes will drop on March 8th via Fuzz Club. The album will commemorate the 40th anniversary of the duo, comprised of brothers Jim and William Reid.

The album announcement arrives alongside news of The Jesus and Mary Chain's upcoming 2024 Europe an U.K. headlining tour.

"Our creative approach is remarkably the same as it was in 1984, just hit the studio and see what happens," Jim said about the album. "There's a telepathy there - we are those weird not-quite twins that finish each other's sentences. Of course, as one could expect from the highly experimental duo, there will still be plenty of new influences on Glasgow Eyes. This time around, the brothers' newfound penchant for jazz can be seen at play."

Meanwhile, The Jesus and Mary Chain's 2024 tour will kick off on March 22 in Manchester. The 22-stop trek will feature stops across Berlin, London, Paris, Stockholm, and more before wrapping up on April 24 in Hague, Netherlands.

Rock band Evanescence's Amy Lee says that rapper 50 Cent "hates her guts."

"50 Cent hates my guts," Amy Lee said in a recent interview with The Daily Beast. "It's just one of those things. I mean, truthfully, we thought he was going to win, too. It was such a wild night.

"People are like, 'What was it like to win a Grammy?' and I'm like, 'Stressful!' I mean, it's wonderful now to have them, but it was surreal. I just remember thinking, 'I don't even think anybody in this room knows who we are.'"

The beef between Amy and 50 started nearly 2 decades, ago when Evanescence won the Grammy Award for Best New Artist in 2004 overthrowing the most popular pick for the award, 50 Cent.

Despite not being announced as the winner, 50 Cent still walked across the stage, making for an awkward moment during Evanescence's acceptance speech.

"You know when you're just in shock? He didn't do anything, he didn't grab the mic, it wasn't that bad," recalled Lee. "He just sort of like, made an appearance. It was like Zoolander when he thought he won."

"No, he never said anything to me, but he likes to talk about me and how he was robbed. I don't want to start a beef with him," she added. "Everything around me was chaos and I was like, I'm going to stand here and see if this is real later, if I wake up or not."

KISS' Paul Stanley has revealed that his recent bout with the flu made him wonder whether "it was my time."

KISS recently cancelled their End of the Road Tour shows in Ottawa, Toronto and Knoxville due to "unforeseen illness" within the touring party.

The band returned to the stage on Saturday, November 25, at the Gainbridge Fieldhouse in Indianapolis, where a pre-show soundcheck and Q&A session saw co-founder Stanley open up about his health situation.

"You know, I've done shows with cracked ribs, I've done shows with a 103 fever," he explained. "[This time] I literally... I was wondering if it was my time. But anyway, I'm here, and it's awesome."

Stanley had also issued an apology after two Canadian shows were canceled, writing on X, "Toronto And Ottawa. I've done everything possible to get onstage and be a part of the incredible 2 1/2 hour celebration we planned but this flu has made it impossible. I along with Gene, Tommy and Eric couldn't be more disappointed and send our deepest apologies."

Neil Young recently released a new video, called "Stand for Peace," featuring his performance of "The Star-Spangled Banner" on electric guitar.

The video, which was directed by Young's wife Daryl Hannah, features footage of Young performing next to an American flag and concludes with the written message "Be Brave" and "Stand For Peace."

Although Young does not make any direct reference to any particular ongoing war or political conflict, a few days earlier he had posted a statement on the ongoing conflict between Hamas and Israel.

Young had written, "For our many Palestinian friends and our many Jewish friends, we do need to start over in the present and release our terrible connections to the past. As bad as they are, they need to be forgotten so we can be free to move on in life together, all humanity, focused on saving our planet for future generations of all people."

Green Day's Billie Joe Armstrong has revealed the reason why the American pop-punk icons have returned to political songwriting with their upcoming album.

The band, comprised of Armstrong, Mike Dirnt and Tre Cool, recently announced their 14th studio album, Saviours, due out January 19, 2024. It's the band's first LP since 2020's Father of All Motherf****s.

The lead single from Saviors, "The American Dream Is Killing Me", topped Billboard's Mainstream Rock Airplay chart last week.

The band has described the upcoming album as one that "bridges the gap" between Dookie and American Idiot.

Speaking with 102.1 the Edge, Armstrong explained that "The American Dream Is Killing Me" is actually the oldest song on Saviors, as it was written several years ago when the band was working on Father of All Motherf***s.

"For Father of All, we didn't want to go political because it was so obvious, and it was such low-hanging fruit, because we had such terrible politics and terrible division in the United States," Armstrong said. "We got away from the politics for a while. we just didn't want to be, you know, another pundit on CNN finger-pointing."

"But this time, we brought it out and it felt like it was the perfect time for it," he added.

During a recent episode of "The Osbournes Podcast," a segment featuring the Osbournes discussing their MTV reality series "The Osbournes" saw the family saying that they would never want to revive the series.

When asked by Jack Osbourne whether the series, which ran from 2002 to 2005, had a "positive or negative effect on everyone's mental health," Kelly Osbourne said it had a "massive negative effect" on her mental health. "It made me so insecure," she added. Ozzy Osbourne said the show served as the "best diary" for future generations of the family. However, he added that the intrusive nature of the production didn't allow him to even "pick my nose and squeeze a zit" without the cameras filming him.

Sharon Osbourne said she felt the show was a great experience, but it was time for it to end when it did. Ozzy chimed in that the series started to get "unreal" when they were forced to go on fishing trips and engage in other activities that they didn't normally do in real life.

Jack then remarked, "That's why I don't think we'll ever do another season," to which Ozzy replied, "It won't happen again. Never in a million years."

Ozzy admitted that he was hurt by the way he was portrayed on "The Osbournes," telling Jack, "I remember you came home one day, and said, 'Dad, let me ask you a question. Do you like people laughing at you or with you? And I said something like, 'As long as they're laughing, I don't give a sh-t.' But in all honestly, it made my head think, 'They're laughing at me.'"

Guns N' Roses frontman Axl Rose has been accused of sexual assault in a lawsuit filed by a former Penthouse model.

Attorneys for Sheila Kennedy filed a complaint in a New York court Wednesday, alleging that the actress and model was "sexually assaulted" in a New York City hotel room in February 1989, and that she "did not consent and felt overpowered."

"Rose used his fame, status, and power as a celebrity and performer in the music industry to gain access to manipulate, control and violently assault Kennedy," according to the lawsuit.

The alleged incident has caused Kennedy to suffer "severe emotional, physical, financial and psychological distress," it says.

Axl Rose, whose real name is William Bruce Rose, has not yet publicly responded to the complaint.

Reports say Rose faces a jury trial under the N.Y. Adult Survivors Act.

Rock legend Neil Young has said that he's leaving X, the social media platform previously known as Twitter, for "reasons that should be obvious" to owner Elon Musk.

"We are stopping all use of X that we can control," Young wrote in a statement posted to his website. "For reasons that should be obvious to the richest man on Earth, we are taking action against his company."

The post featured an image of Musk with the text "Tesla should fly flags of love, not hate" written over the billionaire's face.

The statement continued, "For our many Palestinian friends and our many Jewish friends, we do need to start over in the present and release our terrible connections to the past. As bad as they are, they need to be forgotten so we can be free to move on in life together, all humanity, focused on saving our planet for future generations of all people."

Young joins a list of boycotters of X, including Apple and Disney, after Musk indicated he agreed with a social media post accusing "Jewish communities" of advancing "hatred against whites."

Musk pushed back against the allegations, but not before Warner Bros. Discovery, Paramount Global, Lions Gate Entertainment and Comcast also announced pauses of their online ad campaigns.

"This past week, there were hundreds of bogus media stories claiming that I am antisemitic," Musk posted on X. "Nothing could be further from the truth. I wish only the best for humanity and a prosperous and exciting future for all."

Billy Idol's Vertigo Live concert film Billy Idol: State Line is set to make its streaming debut via Veeps on Saturday (November 25) at noon PT.

Idol and guitarist Steve Stevens will be there for the stream/chat.

The concert film documents the rock legend's April show at the famed Hoover Dam, the first-ever concert performed at the location.

The Veeps stream exclusively features bonus, never before seen footage of Idol performing the tracks "Rebel Yell" and "Bitter Taste" at the Hoover Dam.

The movie highlights the history and significance of Hoover Dam and includes performances from two unique sets of Idol's iconic hits - a full band concert at sunset with special guests that electrified and illuminated the surrounding Black Canyon and an acoustic duo set on the roof of the powerhouse at the foot of Hoover Dam straddling the Colorado River, directly on the Nevada/Arizona state line.

The full band set features Alison Mosshart, Steve Jones, and Tony Kanal, in addition to Stevens.

"Our show at Hoover Dam was a monumental and surreal career highlight," notes Idol. "I'm excited to get State Line out into the world. With this film we set out to highlight the continued importance of one of the most inspiring infrastructural achievements of the 20th Century, while also bringing the power of rock n roll to a stunning, magical location. I think we more than succeeded on both accounts."

The film is free for Veeps All Access subscribers, and individual tickets can be purchased at Veeps.com for viewing between November 25 and December 7.

Fans around the world will be able to access the show at Veeps.com as well as via the Veeps app on Apple TV, Roku, iOS and Android.

Yungblud recently released a video for his single "Happier," featuring Bring Me The Horizon's Oli Sykes.

The retro-themed video, filmed in Tokyo, shows Yungblud and Sykes singing the lyrics during Karaoke, playing arcade machines, and shaking legs on a crowded dance floor.

"If I could tell you how I feel/I know that you're still hurting too," Yungblud shouts. "No I'm not broken/I'm just scared to belong here, scared to be happier."

"Happier" marks Yungblud's second collaboration with Sykes following Bring Me The Horizon's 2020 single "Obey."

"I have almost been conditioned by myself my whole life to be in pain. When I'm in pain I work better. I function better because I have something to combat. It's dark but it's all I've ever known. The feeling of happiness is scary because you feel like it's all about to go wrong. I have always felt that if I'm happy I'll get complacent so it's lost me a lot of opportunity for friendships and relationships in the past," Yungblud said about the song.

He added, "I got really emotional when writing this. I was craving another YUNGBLUD song that would burn in my stomach, make me feel like it's all gonna be okay, encourage me to fight back against old habits and try my best to realign myself to be better. It's okay to find happiness, it's okay to feel it. I hope you find a little bit of it in this song. You deserve it. Everyone does."

"I'm good. I'm all clear," Homme told ITV and added that he's feeling "the best I've felt all year."

Porno For Pyros recently released a new ocean-conscious single "Agua," marking the band's first new music in twenty-six years.

Originally inspired by the band members' close encounters with dolphins on their globe-trotting surfing trips of the '90s, "Agua" reflects their contemporary environmental concerns.

The single is part of a forthcoming album that is set to drop in 2024 ahead of the band's farewell tour.

Porno For Pyros are promoting the song with the Surfrider Foundation in an effort to protect the oceans and the coasts.

"The people who live here on the West Coast have a beautiful love and passion for the Pacific Ocean," said founding member Perry Farrell. "The ocean doesn't look right, doesn't feel right, doesn't surf right. You go and swim in it, and you get the creeps. The sunsets are different. We are really, really screwing it up. We have to do something about it. I wanted to bring attention to it through the best megaphone that I know, which is music."

Farrell also shared his excitement for the release of the band's first new song in 26 years, stating, "Now we're here, and that same heart, that same desire to make music together, has returned. Getting together with these guys has been some of the most fun, the happiest times in my life."

Fifty years later, to commemorate this milestone, the Recording Academy's Grammy Museum will present "An Evening With George Thorogood & The Destroyers" on November 30 at The Clive Davis Theater in Los Angeles.

Guitar legend Eric Clapton has teamed up with Heritage Auctions for an all-star guitar auction benefiting Crossroads Centre Antigua.

The "Eric Clapton Crossroads 25th Anniversary Signature Auction" will be held on December 8.

All proceeds from the auction will go to the treatment center Clapton founded in the Caribbean in 1998. The auction is now open for bidding.

"It is now 25 years since the Crossroads Centre in Antigua opened its doors, helping thousands of men and women needing help with their addictions, including numerous people from the Caribbean, where little help was previously available," Clapton says. "Crossroads continues to flourish, but it always needs funds to subsidize help for those who could not otherwise afford it."

Among the music treasures offered in this auction are signature models and other personal guitars from Clapton, John Mayer, Sheryl Crow, Carlos Santana, Joe Bonamassa, Gary Clark Jr., Vince Gill, John McLaughlin, Albert Lee, Steve Vai and others who have performed during Crossroads' historic run, which began in 1999. Many others were donated by friends of Clapton.

One of the auction's highlights is Clapton's 2019 Fender Custom Shop Stratocaster.

Also available in this auction is another Fender Custom Shop beauty, the Metallic Blue Stratocaster that Clapton played throughout the 2023 Crossroads Guitar Festival.

Additional centerpiece offerings include three very special instruments signed by Clapton and multiple artists who performed at this year's fest.

Highlights from the auction will be on public preview in Heritage's New York City offices at 445 Park Avenue from 10 a.m.-5 p.m. ET on November 21-22 and November 27-30. They will also be on display by appointment only at Heritage's world headquarters in Dallas at 2801 W. Airport Freeway from 9 a.m.-4 p.m. during December 4-8.
