Canadian rockers THREE DAYS GRACE are working on material for the follow-up to 2018’s “Outsider” album. Speaking to Kev of the Rockford, Illinois radio station 104.9 The X, singer Matt Walst said (see video below): “We’ve been just writing and sending ideas around. We polished off a few.

MR. BIG bassist Billy Sheehan says that no decisions have yet been made regarding the band’s future following the passing of Pat Torpey. The drummer died in February 2018 at the age of 64 from complications of Parkinson’s disease. Speaking to FOX17 Rock & Review about MR. BIG‘s legacy, Sheehan said (see video below): “It was quite a band. We had incredible success with the band, especially internationally, which worked out really nice for us, ’cause right around the mid-’90s, the world went grunge — well, the U.S. and Europe kind of went grunge, but everywhere else, it didn’t, so South America, Southeast Asia and all those places, we could still sell out shows and do really well. “We had a great run,” he continued. “We still e...

Scott Stapp says that “everything is positive” between him and all the other members of CREED. This past June, CREED updated its Facebook profile with an old photo, igniting rumors of the band’s imminent return. Nearly five months later, drummer Scott Phillips confirmed that there has been “some chatter” about renewed activity from the group, but cautioned that there are “no specific plans” for CREED to perform or make music again.

He said (see video below): “Well, to start off, first...
