Image
“Through your art you will live forever” Good Charlotte has shared a studio recording of Lil Peep's "Awful Things," available for streaming now. And along with sharing the track, the band penned a heartfelt message about Lil Peep's life and lasting legacy. "Every now and then a new artist comes along, who you know is sure to change music. Lil Peep was one of those artists." The band covered Peep's song earlier this month at Lil Peep's special fan memorial service, and Good Charlotte's Joel Madden says they were happy to be a part of the memorial and show their love for Peep, fans, family, and his friends. “They asked us if we wanted to do something to participate in the memorial.

Um, what? This new ruling nixes a 2014 lawsuit brought by Insane Clown Posse that claimed the FBI's decision violated their constitutional rights and caused Insane Clown Posse concert cancellations due to concerns from law enforcement.
