A 51-year-old man has fallen to his death during a Goose show at New York’s Madison Square Garden. The news was confirmed by a NYPD statement to the New York Post, in which they confirmed that the man was found “unconscious and unresponsive” after a fall from an “elevated position” in the venue at approximately 9:51pm last night (June 20). Emergency services responded to a 911 call and the man was taken to Bellevue Hospital in New York City, where he was pronounced dead. The man has not been named, and the incident remains under investigation. The Connecticut jam band Goose, made up of Rick Mitarotonda, Trevor…

It is curious to note that Foreigner, one of the symbolic bands of American arena rock, is actually made up mostly of British musicians. Born in 1976 as a sextet, in 1980 they decided to thin out the lineup, without replacing two resigning members (keyboardist Al Greenwood and multi-instrumentalist Ian McDonald, former founder of King Crimson). In this new phase, only singer Lou Gramm is an American citizen, while the other three are all names with long experiences in the British rock circuit: the founder, main songwriter and guitarist Mick Jones was a member of Spooky Tooth, drummer Dennis Elliott…

Metallica guitarist Kirk Hammett fell from the stage just days after drawing criticism from Swifties over a T-shirt he wore on tour. The incident took place during Metallica’s performance of ‘Seek & Destroy’ at Aviva Stadium in Dublin on Friday (June 19), when Hammett appeared to fall after a stage cover gave way beneath him near the edge of the stage. Footage shared online showed fans helping the guitarist back up, with Hammett quickly recovering and continuing the song. He later joked about the moment on his Instagram Stories, captioning a clip: “Slip & Destroy.” The fall came after Hammett drew criticism…

It cannot be said that Graham Coxon has spared himself in recent years. His newfound activity with Blur, and the three soundtracks he worked on, not to mention the project The Waeve created together with Rose Elinor Dougall, are pieces of a mosaic as vast as it is lively in its different chromatic shades. We can therefore forgive the English guitarist for having left his solo repertoire in the drawer for twelve long years, which finally comes out under the name of “Castle Park”, ten songs in which the sound of the Sixties – always them, yes – and the…

The Weeknd kicked off the European leg of his ‘After Hours Til Dawn’ tour in Copenhagen this week – watch footage below. The Canadian artist performed the first of two sold-out shows at Parken Stadium on Friday night (June 19), having played two dates at Manchester’s Etihad Stadium earlier this month. ‘After Hours Til Dawn’ has become the highest-grossing tour ever by a male solo artist since its launch in 2022, surpassing $1billion in gross revenue and selling more than 7.5million tickets. Production at the show includes a 40-foot gold sculpture created by Japanese artist Hajime Sorayama, the largest fine-art commission ever created for a live concert production, and the staging…

Welcomed into the attention of the well-deserving Numero, an American label dedicated to the exhumation and repackaging of valuable but forgotten bands, the American Analog Set have undergone a truly honorable treatment, with the re-release in two tranche of their repertoire. If the first collection “New Drifters” included the first albums (1996-99), “Destroy Destroy Destroy” presents their post-2000 production: “Know By Heart” (2001), “Promise Of Love” (2003) and “Set Free” (2005), plus an EP and various songs. This is a golden opportunity to rediscover a silently fundamental band, with an aesthetic as minimalist as it is peculiar, which has evidently…
