Coincidence ?

Very sad news in the Springsteen camp this week as sax man Clarence Clemons passed away Saturday evening following a massive stroke a week earlier. There were apparently signs of improvement in the days following two brain surgeries, but things took a turn for the worse later in the week.
2011 seems to be the year for rockers to get into Monopoly. The famous board game had just released a customized Metallica version and followed that up with an announcement about an AC/DC game due in August.
Rock fans are dying to hear the first new Van Halen album with David Lee Roth in 27 years, and Alter Bridge guitarist Mark Tremonti reports he’s heard the music. Tremonti visited 5150 studios for a sneak preview as Eddie, Alex and Wolfgang VH played through their album live in the studio; Roth was notably absent from the proceedings.
A live mashup at the Hollywood Bowl between Motley Crue and soul singer Cee Lo Green rounded out the new items in the hennemusic Hot 10 this week.
