Deftones bassist is in a coma. Chi Cheng of the longtime metal band Deftones was involved in a car accident Monday and is in serious but stable condition at a hospital in San Jose, CA. Lead singer Chino Moreno blogged about it here.
Britney and the circus? Sounds about right. The pop tart has revealed her upcoming album cover and tracklist for her sixth studio release, Circus. I know album artwork is almost bust nowadays, but dang Brit, bootlegs look better than that!
Lupe Fiasco is retiring, um okay? The Chi-town emcee says he’s “tired of rapping.” Way to leave us hanging Mr. Superstar. His last album, LUPE.N.D., will be released as a three-disc finale set sometime next year.
FOB’s trying to redeem themselves? Fall Out Boy, everyone’s love-’em-hate-’em cookie-cut band, is trying to recruit a local, unsigned band to open for them for each date of their upcoming tour. The “small venue” tour started this week and will feature songs from their upcoming album, Folie A Deux.
And Lil’ Wayne died again, among other things. That not-so-funny VMA host is in trouble, Ginuwine (or should I say, Ginu-FINE) is back, and lastly, if you want to be in a world tour within the confines of your living room, choose here.
