Heaven and Hell surprise (Shock?) announcement
I have to say while it's great that the band or management of Heaven and Hell (aka Dio's Black Sabbath), are confident of Ronnie James Dio recovery plan, from the stomach cancer he was recently dianosed with, wouldn't most people agree, it's a little premature to start lining up new tour dates, especially a big festival date? I think it would surely be better to wait for the all clear, maybe it's been done to give Ronnie more strength to beat the cancer, who knows?
It seems that they are going ahead though as the band has now been added to the UK's High Voltage festival list: http://www.classicrockmagazine.com/news/heaven-and-hell-to-play-high-voltage-festival/

HEADLINERS:
• ZZ Top (July 24) and ELP (July 25)

Bret Michaels posts new exclusive new song on his website
Just posted at Bret Michaels website a new song or at least a trailer running at 1 minute 32 seconds ..., for a new song, titled "Fall on Me" - Inspired perhaps by events at the Tony Awards where a stage prop took him out earlier this year.
Check out this new music from Bret’s upcoming album. This rough track, tentatively titled “Fall On Me” is still being worked on but is scheduled to appear on Bret’s upcoming album in 2010. Jeff Juliano who has mixed tracks for such artists as Dave Matthews, John Mayer & Shinedown mixed this demo version.

Interesting Led Zeppelin story here ...
From somewhere or other, it seems Led Zeppelin are being touted to play at next years Glastonbury Festival in the UK.
I guess there is no smoke without fire and the odds are already apparently at 6 - 1 that they will indeed headline the festival. - Who gave those odds, where they originated ..., hmmm
Maybe it is a realistic possibility, as Robert Plant has made it clear he doesn't want to tour Zep, but maybe he'll be up for another one off show?
The other thing to keep in mind is that the BBC is doing a Led Zeppelin special to be aired on Christmas day, maybe an announcement will be tied in with that broadcast?
The story is posted today at UK Classic Rock magazines website:

Thin Lizzy UK premier tribute band Limehouse Lizzy announce a mass of dates for 2010
OK, why you ask would I post a piece on a tribute band, well I have to confess to Thin Lizzy having been my favourite live band ever, when Phillip Lynott was around and so subsequently I've seen more than a few Lizzy tribute acts.
Limehouse Lizzy - IMHO - have to be THE best Lizzy tribute band I have ever seen live and when I lived in the UK, I must have seen them about 5 times. Great band.
I only wish now, they could find a way of getting over here to the USA. Personal peeve!
