KISS will publish a coffee-table book chronicling their fourth album, Destroyer. KISS Destroyer: The Definitive Visual History contains new interviews, never-before-published photos and track-by-track synopsis of each song on the 1976 album. It will be out on October 27th. It will be preceded by The Official KISS Tarot Deck and Guidebook on September 29th.

Paul McCartney will host a discussion about his new album, The Boys of Dungeon Lane, next Wednesday, June 10th, at the Roundhouse in London. And to help publicize the album, McCartney’s fashion designer daughter Stella has designed a limited-edition T-shirt styled after the cover art, which was designed by her cousin Josh, the son of her dad’s brother Mike. It’s the sign on the cover now adorned by two blue t**s perched on top. The birds are a nod to the pre-fame memories her father recalls on some of the album’s songs.

RUSH: Just A Few Days to Go

Rush starting their Fifty Something reunion tour on Sunday, June 7th, at The Forum in Inglewood, California, which is in Los Angeles County.

While Geddy Lee and Alex Lifeson were humble about the overwhelming response to them reuniting as Rush for a tour that starts this Sunday at The Forum in Inglewood, California -- where they did their last show on August 1st, 2015 -- it came as no surprise that the original schedule of 12 dates would be all they would do, which Geddy alluded to just days after the tour was announced.

"Just to say to go back on the road is a huge effort. It's a huge amount of work to put all those things back together and we are in the heat of rebuilding everything and putting a show together. And I was very happy to see that [our] fan base responded so overwhelmingly and they've accepted Anika. You know, she was a bit nervous. That's big shoes to fill, but it's all been kind of an incredible week for all of us coming to terms with the response to our announcement."

The Fifty Something tour has since ballooned to 58 shows through December followed by 30 more next year in South America and Europe.

David Lee Roth has added five more shows in July to his Don't Love Me, Rent Me... tour. The first two are in Canada: the 10th in Edmonton and the 13th in Vancouver. The other three are in the U.S.: the 21st in Salt Lake City; the 28th in Louisville, Kentucky; and the 31st in East Moline, Illinois. Roth takes the tour to Port Chester, New York this Wednesday.

MICHAEL ANTHONY: Let's Help Him Out
Van Halen bassist Michael Anthony is once again helping to raise money for the Children's Hospital Los Angeles through its 10th annual Walk & Play L.A. event this Saturday at the Santa Monica Pier.

He writes on Instagram, "As you may know, we lost our dear grandson, Rex Michael, to heart disease at just two weeks old. He arrived at Children’s Hospital Los Angeles just hours after being born and went into surgery to try and correct his heart defect. The surgery was successful, but his tiny body could not handle recovery and at just two weeks old joined the angels in heaven. The dedicated doctors and staff of CHLA did all they could to save our grandson, and although they couldn’t, our family will forever cherish every second of the two weeks that we had with our little Rex!..

"Any amount you can donate through me to the hospital is greatly appreciated, and I thank you from the bottom of my heart once again for helping me raise money so that CHLA can continue saving as many of our children as they can."

Anthony's team is named Rex and the Heartbeaters, and so far they've raised just over $27,000. To donate, go to CHLA.org and follow the links to Walk & Play L.A. Unfortunately, hewon't be at the event this year because he's busy rehearsing for his summer tour with Sammy Hagar.

Sammy Hagar commented on Anthony's Instagram post saying, "My friend, it is so wonderful that you have kept this thing going and I'm sure you plan on keeping it going forever. God bless you. You know I'm in."

In 2017, David Lee Roth donated $10,000 on behalf of Anthony's team.

Mick Fleetwood posted a video on Instagram talking about heading back to Los Angeles from his home on Maui to finish his new album, which he’s been working on for three years. He says he thinks it’s coming out good.

Steve Lukather Promises Upcoming Van Halen Album Isn't "Throwaway (Stuff)"
For skeptical fans who think the upcoming album being worked on by Alex Van Halen and Steve Lukather is previously rejected scraps of old Van Halen demos, think again. Lukather, who says he's on board not as a musician but as a co-producer, says the music they're working on is much, much better than that. In an interview with "Guitar Player," Lukather said, "I'm telling you, this is not throwaway [ ]. When I heard them, I said to Al, 'How [ ] come you didn't use these?' And the answer was because nobody could write to it. So if you think this is a bunch of throwaway crap that we're trying to Mickey Mouse together to suck the dollar out of poor, unsuspecting Van Halen fans, it's not." Much about the project is unknown at this point, including whether or not there will be vocals (and if so, by whom) or a release date.
