Ex-TESLA Guitarist TOMMY SKEOCH Says He Doesn’t Do Drugs Anymore: ‘I’m So Over It’
Former TESLA guitarist Tommy Skeoch, who left the band in 2006 to receive treatment for substance-abuse issues, has shot down the suggestion that he is still in the throes of addicition. “I get the feeling people think I’m just out gettin’ full-tilt boogie and wild all the time, and, really, man, my home life is very domesticated, especially with the kids,” he said during a brand new interview with Waste Some Time With Jason Green (as transcribed by BLABBERMOUTH.NET). “Now, there was a period when I was abusing drugs and all that, and I did it through all that domestication as well. But it’s not what you think — it’s not what one would think, I would think. “That whole thing with the drugs and everything is so old hat for me, man — I’m ...

Raffaella Carra, Iconic Italian Entertainer, Dies at 78
With often sexy costumes — daring by state TV standards in a country where the Vatican wields considerable influence — Carrà also was credited with helping Italian women be more confident with their bodies and their sexuality, once even baring her belly button during a TV performance. But she could also be devastatingly classy in her dress and manners. The La Repubblica newspaper wrote that she managed to pull off being provocative but still familiar and reassuring to millions of TV viewers. She also was considered an icon for gay fans due to her joyful performances. Her trademark bouncy, blond haircut and bangs — dubbed the helmet look — were imitated by many fans. TV magnate Silvio Berlusconi, the former Italian premier, mourned Carrà’s passing, calling her “one of the symbols of Italian...
Amanda Kloots Pens Tribute to Husband Nick Cordero One Year After His Death
Amanda Kloots, wife of the late Broadway actor Nick Cordero, shared an emotional message on social media on Monday (July 5), a year after her husband died due to complications from COVID-19. Cordero was a Tony-nominated actor known for his work in Bullets Over Broadway, Waitress and A Bronx Tale the Musical. He died at age 41, following a grueling battle with the coronavirus. “Today hurts, there is no other way around it,” Kloots wrote on Instagram, where she posted a number of photos and video clips in Cordero’s memory. “One year ago you left us and became our angel in heaven. You were surrounded by so much love and Led Zeppelin playing on Spotify-no doubt that was your doing, not mine. What happened was unthinkable, losing you was my biggest fear. I used to tell y...
R. Kelly’s Lawyer Wants Trial Delayed Due to Jail Quarantine
Kelly, whose legal name is Robert Sylvester Kelly, was placed in quarantine when he arrived at the Metropolitan Detention Center in Brooklyn on June 22 from Chicago, where he was being held on similar charges. Tuesday will mark 14 days since Kelly’s transfer to Brooklyn. “Robert is anxious to have his day in court; however not at the expense of his Sixth Amendment rights,” Cannick wrote, saying the request was not a delay tactic. Federal prosecutors hadn’t responded to Cannick’s request as of Monday night and declined to comment. Donnelly has yet to rule on the filing. Federal lockups have been quarantining transferred and newly incarcerated inmates since early in the COVID-19 pandemic as part of protocols to prevent the disease’s spread. Kelly, 54, is accused of leading an enterprise made...
The Verve’s Richard Ashcroft Pulls Out of UK Festival Over COVID-19 Restrictions
Richard Ashcroft has informed fans that he’s pulled out of his scheduled appearance at the UK’s Tramlines Festival because of the event’s government imposed COVID-19 restrictions. Tramlines announced last week that the full-capacity event, set for July 23rd-25th would be part of England’s Events Research Programme. That means the fest will be under certain restrictions to help the UK government test the safety of returning to full-scale events. Ashcroft is apparently not down with that, as the former Verve rocker has a standing “no ERP events” policy. “I had informed my agent months ago I wouldn’t be playing concerts with restrictions,” Ashcroft wrote in an Instagram post. “The status of the festival was one thing when I signed up for it, but, sadly was forced to become something else. It ...

Rush Singer Geddy Lee’s Mother Mary Weinrib, a Holocaust Survivor, Dies at 95
Rush singer-bassist Geddy Lee is mourning the loss of his mother, Mary Weinrib, who passed away on Friday (July 2nd). Weinrib, a Holocaust survivor, died just weeks shy of her 96th birthday.
