Speaker 1: and wrong reasons. One O one one w jr R.

Speaker 1: rings next hour, answer it. I know I mentioned this yesterday,
Speaker 1: but I thought, I, you know, since this is rock news,
Speaker 1: I'll bring it up. Phil Lesh, Grateful Dead co founder,
Speaker 1: passed away on Friday at the age of eighty four,
Speaker 1: surrounded by his family and full of love. Phil brought
Speaker 1: immense joy to everyone around him and leaves behind a
Speaker 1: awesome legacy of music his family shared in a post
Speaker 1: to his Instagram. Official cause of death has not been
Speaker 1: put out there, although he's had over the years. In
Speaker 1: twenty fifteen, he had diagnosed with bladder cancer underwent surgery
Speaker 1: to remove tumors he had previously survived prostate cancer and
Speaker 1: also underwent a liver transplant in nineteen ninety eight, so
Speaker 1: he'd been kind of through the medical ringer over the years.
Speaker 1: Made it to eighty.
Speaker 2: Four though, just in peace, Phil.
Speaker 1: The eighth installment of Joe Walsh's vets Aid has been canceled.
Speaker 1: Why would they cancel such a great thing? Due to
Speaker 1: circumstances beyond the organizer's control. It was originally scheduled to
Speaker 1: happen November eleventh at the UBS Arena in Belmont Park
Speaker 1: in New York. The event had a pretty interesting line
Speaker 1: at Eric Church Post Malone, Toto and Cool In the
Speaker 1: Gang set to join Joe Walsh again circumstances beyond the
Speaker 1: organizer's control. Walsh confirmed that it wasn't all bad news, though,
Speaker 1: saying that four hundred thousand dollars will still be given
Speaker 1: to organizations that help New York and New Jersey veterans.
Speaker 1: Okay in other benefits shows, Leonard Skinnard planning a special
Speaker 1: hurricane relief show here in their home state of Florida.
Speaker 1: The band will part will be part of the Rock
Speaker 1: and Support Bradenton Gulf Islands benefit concert that's going to
Speaker 1: be held in Palmetto on November fifteenth. All proceeds will
Speaker 1: go to hospitality workers displaced by hurricanes Helene and Milton
Speaker 1: skinnerd front Man Johnny van Zant said they were very
Speaker 1: happy to jump on board after getting the call.
Speaker 2: Definitely did good good like that.
Speaker 1: Both Faith No More and Mister Bungle canceled a whole
Speaker 1: slew of tour dates in twenty twenty one and twenty
Speaker 1: twenty two due to vocalist Mike Patten's ongoing mental health issues.
Speaker 1: Mister Bungle eventually made it back to life, but Faith
Speaker 1: More has still been missing in action, and it sounds
Speaker 1: like it's gonna stay that way. Keyboardist Roddy Bottom briefly
Speaker 1: addressed the situation about Faith No More in a post,
Speaker 1: saying that the band is quote kind of on a
Speaker 1: semi permanent hiatus.
Speaker 2: Unquote semi permanent, so.
Speaker 1: I don't expect any more Faith No More activity is
Speaker 1: how I decode that? What else we got happening here? Scorpions,
Speaker 1: who are celebrating their sixtieth anniversary in twenty twenty five,
Speaker 1: will do so well. They've got a residency in Vegas
Speaker 1: next year, but they are also going to have a
Speaker 1: true sixtieth anniversary show in their hometown of Hanover, Germany
Speaker 1: on July fifth, with special guests Judas Priest. How cool
Speaker 1: would that be see two of the titans of hard
Speaker 1: rock together celebrating the Scorpions sixtieth anniversary. That's unbelievable. Wow,
Speaker 1: and you said that was in Germany or Germany their hometown, Hanover, Germany,
Speaker 1: after thinking it was curtains for The Who. It does
Speaker 1: sound like Roger Daltrey and Pete Townsend have been chatting
Speaker 1: about doing something next year. Don't be surprised if you
Speaker 1: see The Who out there in some touring capacity. Have
Speaker 1: you ever seen The Who? Yeah, I've told you this story.
Speaker 1: I saw their first farewell tour. There was a date
Speaker 1: here in Orlando at the Dead Tangerine Ball in nineteen
Speaker 1: eighty two. I don't recall this story. Farewell tour the
Speaker 1: first of several that they've done over the years. Yeah,
Speaker 1: that was the show. I've told you this story because
Speaker 1: that was the show where Joan Jet and the Black
Speaker 1: Hearts and the B fifty two's were the opening acts
Speaker 1: and both got booed off the stage. Yes, Jon Jet
Speaker 1: got hit with a sneaker full of mustard. And kept playing.
Speaker 1: Got to give her credit for that. B fifty two
Speaker 1: is not as lucky. When they said we're taking you
Speaker 1: to Planet Claire whether you like it or not, the
Speaker 1: reign of garbage and breed came so intense the band
Speaker 1: had to leave the stage.
Speaker 2: I hate it when fans do that. We were there
Speaker 2: to see the Who man saying that fifty twos and
Speaker 2: the Who. I appreciate the B fifty twos, but time
Speaker 2: and place, Yeah, time and place, you appreciate them on
Speaker 2: their own or with a different similar band.
Speaker 1: Some other concert announcements to be aware of. Alice Cooper
Speaker 1: will be back in central Florida. His Too Close for
