Def Leppard are sending love to Los Angeles as the city recovers from devastating wildfires that claimed multiple lives and displaced thousands. The band’s cover of Ben E. King’s “Stand by Me,” guitarist Phil Collen shared, “is a tribute to resilience, unity and hope.” Proceeds from the charity single will benefit FireAid, the non-profit organization raising funds for immediate relief efforts and long-term initiatives to take preventative measures against fire disasters in Southern California.

“In times of devastation, standing together is more important than ever,” Collen said in a statement.

May 3, 2025 is the first Saturday of the month of May, and many geek bibliophiles - or, more accurately, "Pannapictagraphists" - have that day circled. It's Free Comic Book Day. This year promises to be one of its most significant to date.

Most recently, DC Comics entered the fray by confirming its Free Comic Book Day (Fcbd) line-up and sharing about the preeminent Dan Slott's upcoming Superman Unlimited. The quill behind Amazing Spider-Man in 2014 and 2016's Eisner-winning Silver Surfer No. 11 is partnering with DC and Jim Lee to help James Gunn and Peter Safran make 2025 Kal-El's biggest year since, well...since you know when with that "cut" thingamajig.

That announcement helped bolster the news about the reinvention of the label's major heroes and villains called DC All In, which is coming this fall. The other labels also have some offerings for true comic fans. Let's review what we will see on the shelves this summer.

Netflix has debuted the trailer for the sequel ‘Bank of Dave 2: The Lone Ranger.’

Together they embark on a journey that will eventually take them to the United States and help bring down an entire industry of predatory corporations.

Hallmark stars Ashley Williams and Nikki DeLoach hosted the seventh annual Dance Party to End Alz: Halloween Edition on Sunday, Oct. 27 at Avalon in Hollywood, which raised $250,000 and counting for the Alzheimer's Association research grant program.

The event founded by Kimberly Williams-Paisley was emceed by Jonathan Bennett and Melissa Peterman.

Peacock's supernatural horror series, Hysteria!, introduces viewers to the show and one of its main actors, Jessica Treska, who plays Judith.

Hysteria! (which is unironically the title of Def Leppard's most popular album (and one of its most popular songs)) follows a high school heavy metal band that uses the Satanic Panic movement of the 1980s to build its reputation after the football team's quarterback goes missing.

All eight episodes of the show premiered on Peacock on October 18, and even though the series was just released, Hysteria showrunner and creator Matthew Scott Kane is already hoping that it will last four seasons.

When Phil Collen was growing up in London in the 1960s, comic books weren’t as popular as they were in the U.S. But the Def Leppard guitarist was a fan anyway. “Some of the news agents would sell these American comics, and I used to just load up on them,” the 66-year-old tells Rolling Stone via phone from his California home. “I’ve actually got The Silver Surfer No. 1. I’ve still got The Incredible Hulk No. 3 and early Batman stuff, all from the Sixties.”

Journey’s current stadium tour with Def Leppard became a little less awkward Thursday as band mates Jonathan Cain and Neal Schon reached a legal solution in their court battle involving the group’s credit card.

Back in November 2022, Schon sued Cain, saying he refused to give him access to the group’s American Express card and its records. Cain, in turn, accused Schon of “running up enormous personal charges on the band’s credit card account” due to “tremendous financial pressure as a result of his excessive spending.”

As Journey continues its stadium tour with Def Leppard and Steve Miller, two of its members have finally settled a legal dispute.

Jonathan Cain announced Wednesday that the Delaware Chancery Court has appointed a third independent director, former Vice Chancellor Joseph Slights, for his and bandmate Neal Schon‘s Freedom 2020 business subsidiary.

“Mr. Schon is prohibited from unilaterally acting on behalf of the Company and all future deadlock between Mr. Cain and Mr. Schon will be broken by the vote of the Custodian,” Cain’s legal team shared in a statement. “Mr. Cain is elated with the outcome and looks forward to moving beyond this matter so that Journey can continue the band’s 50th Anniversary Freedom Tour.”

After Schon agreed last week to Cain’s request to appoint a third party tiebreaker to manage the ongoing tour, Cain’s attorney Kasey H. DeSantis accused Schon of “now seeking to...

The legal battle between Journey keyboardist/rhythm guitarist Jonathan Cain and lead guitarist Neal Schon is still going, with the former filing a new lawsuit against the latter for alleged lavish spending at the band’s expense. What makes the ongoing legal issues especially awkward is that both Cain and Schon are active members of the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame act, currently sharing the stage together on a summer North American tour with Def Leppard.

According to Bloomberg, Cain’s lawsuit, publicly filed on Tuesday (July 30th), alleges that Schon maxed out an American Express credit card with a $1 million limit and blew past a $1,500-per-night hotel allowance, while also chartering private jets and hiring a friend as a security guard. The keyboardist also accuses the guitarist of preventing the band from paying its debts.

As a teen in England, Phil Collen was obsessed with all things American. The music, be it rock or blues, were major influences, but of particular interest to the guitarist of heavy metal glam band Def Leppard were the comics that were being imported into London shops in the 1960s.

It was in these shops that Collen picked up copies of Silver Surfer no.1 by Stan Lee and John Buscema and The Incredible Hulk No. 3 by Lee and Jack Kirby. He still has those copies, stored in a case in his home in London. The Hulk was one of his favorites, as was Batman.

“I really got into the vibe of it and the culture of it,” Collen says on a Zoom from Nashville, where he is taking a short break from Leppard’s circuit as part of the Journey for the Summer Stadium Tour, which also includes acts Cheap...

Heart have been forced to postpone all of their upcoming tour dates in 2024 after Ann Wilson recently underwent a medical procedure to remove “something that, as it turns out, was cancerous.”

“The operation was successful & I’m feeling great but my doctors are now advising me to undergo a course of preventive chemotherapy & I’ve decided to do it,” Wilson explained in a statement. “And so my doctors are instructing me to take the rest of the year away from the stage in order to fully recover.”

“Please know that I absolutely plan to be back on stage in 2025,” Wilson added. “My team is getting those details sorted & we’ll let you know the plan as soon as we can.”

Wilson did not disclose the type of cancer she has. She concluded her statement by saying, “Respectfully, this is the last public statement I’d like to make on the matter.

According to the group, the made-for-stadiums rocker harkens back to the early Seventies, capturing the music and the technological breakthroughs of the era.

A straight-ahead rocker, “Just Like 73” features many of Def Lep’s sonic trademarks such as a clap-along beat, instrumental drop outs during the verses, and a surging chorus chant: “Hey-oh, rock with me/ Just like ’73.” Morello takes over the solo section with his stylistic playing and dramatic whammy bar action, melding seamlessly with the legendary UK band.

Heart is back!

Sisters Ann and Nancy Wilson will be making a comeback to perform together after five years.

Though recent years haven’t seen the sisters onstage together, both have continued to perpetuate the 70s rock band songs. Nancy toured in 2022 under a different name, Nancy Wilson’s Heart, in 2022, mainly singing Heart songs, while Ann had her own band called Tripsitter.

The Royal Flush Tour will launch on April 20 in Greenville, South Carolina, and will make stops in major cities like Atlanta, Boston, and Montreal before performing their final show in Morrison, Colorado, on September 22.

Joining Heart for most dates will be fellow 70s rock band, Cheap Trick. On other selected dates, fans will have a chance to see Journey and Def Leppard.

The upcoming tour could also be considered a reunion of sorts. In 2016, the sisters had a falling out after Ann’s husband, Dean Wetter, was...

A newly released rough mix of “Photograph” from Def Leppard’s archives shows a different side to the Number One rock chart hit. Where the version that came out on Pyromania and dominated rock radio in 1983 finds the band singing “Photograph” and Joe Elliott responding, “I don’t want your … / I don’t need your …” the rough mix has less vocals and more space. It sounds almost like a new wave song with more prominent (and funkier) bass, less reverb, and a lot more jangly guitar in the chorus. The cowbell remains the same.

Don’t stop believin’ in the hysteria.

Megaplatinum rock stalwarts Def Leppard and Journey are gearing up to hit the road for a North American summer stadium tour starting July 6 in St. Louis. The 23-show jaunt runs through September 8 in Denver and will feature fellow Rock and Roll Hall of Famer Steve Miller and his band on the bulk of the dates, with Cheap Trick or Heart on the others.

The trek will hit Citi Field in metro New York on August 7 and SoFi Stadium in Los Angeles on August 25, both featuring Miller. See the full itinerary below.

The two headliners have toured together over the decades, but this is their first co-starring stadium affair. Def Leppard hit the huge U.S. and Canadian venues in 2022 for a Covid-delayed tour with Mötley Crüe in 2022.

San Francisco-based Journey has moved more than 49 million albums in the U.S. alone, paced by their 15 million-selling 1988 Greatest Hits.

Journey and Def Leppard are teaming up for a massive U.S. summer stadium tour, and they’re bringing Cheap Trick, Steve Miller Band, and Heart with them at various spots along the way. Expect a night of mega Eighties hits like “Don’t Stop Believin,” “Pour Some Sugar on Me,” “Faithfully,” “Photograph” and (depending on where you live) “The Flame,” “Abracadabra,” and “These Dreams.”

The Beach Boys by The Beach Boys compiles exclusive interviews from band members Brian Wilson, Mike Love, Al Jardine, and Bruce Johnston — as well as archival text from late members Carl Wilson and Dennis Wilson — to form the autobiography, which spans the beginnings of the band and signing their Capitol Records contract up through their famed 1980 Independence Day concert at the National Mall in Washington D.C.

In addition to the interviews,...

A big congratulations goes out to Nita Strauss. The Alice Cooper guitarist got engaged to her drummer and longtime boyfriend Josh Villalta, known as Josh V., during her record release show for her new solo album, The Call of the Void. The gig took place Thursday night (July 6th) in Los Angeles.

Josh dropped to one knee to ask Strauss for her hand in marriage onstage in front of the packed crowd at Whisky A Go Go, and received an enthusiastic “Yes” from the guitar virtuoso. The whole thing was captured in photos and videos, as Mike Jakubow of Sumerian Records shared some clips on social media (see below). He posted, “Nita Strauss Record Release Party …. more than that … it turned into an engagement party! Congrats @hurricanenita and @thejoshv on everything. Such an honor to share in your amazing moments. Truly.”

Jakubow also hashtagged the post with #nitastrauss #thecallofthevoid #recordreleaseparty #engagementparty #sumerianrecords #thewhiskyagogo @thewhiskyagogo @sumerianrecords.

Ghost recently released a covers EP called Phantomime, but they evidently have more covers in them. The Swedish metal band has unleashed a cover of Shakespears Sister’s 1992 single “Stay” featuring actor Patrick Wilson.

“Stay” opens with soft synths providing the basis behind echoing vocals. About halfway through the track, things pick up, as heavy guitar riffs crash in and the vocals take on a more powerful character.

So, how did “Stay” come together? As it turns out, actor, director, and Tony-nominated singer Wilson is a major Ghost fan. He saw the band live twice in 2022 and met up with frontman Tobias Forge while working on his directorial debut, Insidious: The Red Door.

Later, inspired by Ghost’s version of “Spillways” featuring Def Leppard’s Joe Elliott, Wilson reached out to Forge, who had been working on a version of Shakespears Sister’s “Stay.” The two then decided to collaborate on the cover,...

As the legal feud between Mötley Crüe and Mick Mars continues, the guitarist has opened up about the full extent of the disconnect between himself and his former bandmates.

Mars has been outspoken regarding his unceremonious exit from the band, blaming Nikki Sixx and company for forcing him out and cutting his profit share in the process. In an interview with Rolling Stone, Mars said that his bandmates didn’t so much as speak to him throughout 2022 — including the entirety of the band’s stadium tour with Def Leppard — leading up to his retirement from touring back in October.

“Nobody spoke to me in 2022,” Mars said. “A lot of the time felt like I was just playing by myself. You know how you can be in a crowd of people and still feel alone? That’s how I felt that whole tour. I felt used, sad, and inferior. When we...

Mötley Crüe played a “surprise” intimate club show Friday night (June 30th) at The Underworld in London in advance of their concert at Wembley Stadium the next evening.

The band performed to around 450 attendees under the pseudonym Dogs of War — the title of a new Crüe song that has yet to be released — and ran through a setlist stacked with hits, including “Shout at the Devil,” “Too Fast for Love,” “Live Wire,” “Girls, Girls, Girls,” “Dr. Feelgood,” and “Kickstart My Heart” (which closed the set).

Mötley Crüe typically perform a medley of covers during their sets, and for The Underworld performance, they fused Gary Glitter’s “Rock and Roll, Part 2” with Brownsville Station’s “Smokin’ in the Boys Room,” The Beatles’ “Helter Skelter,” Sex Pistols’ “Anarchy in the U.K.,” and the Ramones’ “Blitzkrieg Bop.”

They followed the medley up with a full rendition of Beastie Boys’ “(You Gotta) Fight for Your Right (To Party!
