She has been using Ozempic and that turns people into corpses.

Just saw a TikTok video of 77 yo Jeff Lynne stopping a show and being helped off the stage.

Someone is gonna die on stage real soon, I just know it.

Re: Matt Cameron leaves Pearl Jam after 27 years

I agree that it wasn't good for his physical health as a drummer, especially a drummer who played like he did, but I don't know if he would have done it any other way. Apparently, for his mental and emotional health, riding his motorcycle made touring bearable. Kind of like therapy, especially for ...

Re: If Nuno Had Taken The Ozzy Gig In '95...

The Ozzy "What-if" for me is Jeff Loomis, who auditioned at the same time as Gus G. He said Sharon asked him one question: how old he was (37 at the time). He got nixed and returned to Nevermore which proceeded to implode on the heels of a weak album. Always wondered how he'd have fit in a...

Re: Matt Cameron leaves Pearl Jam after 27 years

Yeah, and think about Neil Peart near the end of his time in Rush. It’s amazing he lasted as long as he did considering all the intricate virtuoso-type drumming he’d been doing all his career. Peart also did himself no favors by riding his motorcycle between gigs. That had to take something out of ...

Their IGs are full of sightseeing pictures and having good meals. They are not starving artists paying their dues like ...

Re: Rockers who contracted Lung Cancer from Smoking?

Warren Zevon chain smoked for 30 years.

Gave it up, became a fitness junkie. Liked to say he worked out more than Vin Diesel.

Too late, damage done. Died of lung cancer in 2003.

Re: JUDAS PRIEST And ALICE COOPER Announce Summer/Fall 2025 North American Tour With CORROSION OF CONFORMITY

Once again, old farts touring with other old farts rather than give a young band some desperately needed exposure. The old guard has done nothing to help the next generation and then they wonder why their audience is as old and gray as they are.
