SEVENDUST’s LAJON WITHERSPOON To Release Solo Cover Of JACOB BANKS’s ‘Chainsmoking’ Next Week
SEVENDUST frontman Lajon Witherspoon will release his new solo single, a cover of British singer Jacob Banks‘s 2017 song “Chainsmoking”, on January 1. A short preview is available below. This past September, Lajon told Talking Metal about his long-in-the-works debut solo album: “The solo thing for me has been fun. I’ve not had any pressure. It hasn’t been something that, ‘Oh, I have to do this.’ This is something I’ve done on my own. “I’ve been working with a very close friend of mine, Sahaj [Daniel Ticotin], [who] is the lead singer from the band RA, which I think a lot of people out there would know,” he continued. “[He’s] an incredible friend and artist, and we write well together.” Asked about the...

Tom Cruise and Russia Are Engaged in an Actual Space Race
The movie that Tom Cruise is set to film in outer space somehow just got even more realistic. According to IndieWire, a Russian TV channel is aiming to shoot its own movie beyond our atmosphere before Cruise gets a chance to take off, creating a modern equivalent of the Cold War-era space race between America and the Soviet Union. Earlier this year, Cruise confirmed that he was teaming up with NASA and Elon Musk’s Space X program to star in a $200 million dollar film that will be partially shot on the International Space Station. The feat would make Cruise the first actor to ever film a Hollywood narrative feature in outer space. But between his prior obligations and the ongoing COVID pandemic, shooting for the still-untitled film isn’t supposed to begin until at least 2022, and Russia (cl...
