George Lynch update and Lynch Mob tour dates
Well, the update from George Lynch is sadly a little old (December 2010), but I missed it before ...
The man has of course been constantly pushed on the prospect of him rejoining Dokken and that of a full scale reunion.
After Dokken's 2010 summer tour dates were done last year, rumours were running around like crazy with talk of a possible Dokken reunion and even Jeff Pilson had said as much to me during our interview last year - Link here: www.chambersofrock.blogspot.com/2010/07/interview-with-jeff-pilson-foreigner.html - but now this comes from George Lynch himself, which probably puts paid to it:
“We feel it’s important to let folks know there will be no Dokken reunion in the foreseeable future, if ever. This is Don’s (Dokken) decision, despite Jeff’s and my best intentions and efforts over the past few years to make this happen in good faith. My apologies to VH1, Eddie Trunk, Steve Strange and all the fans who were pulling for this to happen”
Meantime, George has his Lynch Mob band hitting the road - still - in support of the very good 'Smoke and Mirrors' release, so go and check them out:

I know, many of you are thinking ... Come on Al! Rod Stewart, he's a has been!
Well, if the UK's Classic Rock magazine could give him a live review last year, then why can't I bloody mention him here, eh?! LOL!
Here's the press release ...
TWO LEGENDS – ONE STAGE
ROD STEWART AND STEVIE NICKS
THE HEART AND SOUL 2011 NORTH AMERICAN TOUR
THE YEAR’S CAN’T MISS ROCK AND ROLL EVENT
TOUR OPENING MARCH 20, 2011 AT BANK ATLANTIC CENTER IN FT. LAUDERDALE, TICKETS ON-SALE BEGINNING JANUARY 21, 2011
(LOS ANGELES – January, 2011) Rod Stewart and Stevie Nicks announced on The Ellen DeGeneres Show, Thursday, January 13, that they have joined forces for one of the most anticipated musical events of the year, THE HEART AND SOUL TOUR. Launching March 20, 2011 in Fort Lauderdale, Florida, the tour will unite two of music’s most legendary forces for a series of arena concerts throughout North America - with performances already confirmed in New York, Toronto, Los Angeles, Philadelphia, Chicago, Detroit, Tampa, Montreal and more.
The tour will feature both artists performing all rock and roll sets from their incomparable catalogs of hits and backed by an incredible band of musicians and stage production.
Tickets go on sale beginning Friday, January 21.
Said Rod Stewart: “We haven’t yet begun rehearsals but I can already tell you this, with Stevie on board our audiences are in store for an evening of pure rock and roll music. I’m already thinking about which of my old favourites to bring back and vocally, I think we’ve both begun thinking about which songs might be great fun and well-suited for a duet or two.”
In a career spanning five decades, with an estimated 250 million album and single sales, Rod Stewart is a Rock and Roll Hall of Famer and indisputably one of the most successful performers of all time. He finished 2010 at the top of both the touring and album charts - highlighted by his critically-heralded, sold-out first run of concerts at The Colosseum in Las Vegas, a “Boxscore,” chart-topping, 33-date European summer tour which included 4 sold-out dates at London’s O2 Arena. Throughout his prolific career, he’s garnered 16-Grammy nominations, including his current for “Best Traditional Pop Vocal Album," and sales of more than one million albums worldwide for his 2010 album FLY ME TO THE MOON … THE GREAT AMERICAN SONGBOOK, VOLUME V. In addition, Rod Stewart is set to release THE BEST OF…THE GREAT AMERICAN SONGBOOK available in stores February 1st, 2011 (J Records).
Stevie Nicks, Rock and Roll's reigning queen, will be releasing her highly anticipated new CD “IN: YOUR DREAMS” on May 3, 2011. The new album, her first album of new material in a decade, was co-produced by former Eurythmic Dave Stewart and Glen Ballard. The new album is now available for fans to pre order at http://www.stevienicks.warnerreprise.com/. Fans who pre-order the CD will receive an instant download of the record's first single, the Nicks’ penned "Secret Love”. The official release date of the single is February 3rd.
