Tom Petty died of accidental overdose

Image
The Los Angeles County Department of Medical Examiner has confirmed the cause of death for legendary musician, singer-songwriter, and multi-instrumentalist Tom Petty, stating his death was the result of an accidental overdose. Coroner confirms Tom Petty died of accidental drug overdose According to a statement released by Petty's family in conjunction with the coroner's results, Petty had been given several prescription drugs to treat emphysema, knee issues, and a fractured hip. "Despite this painful injury he insisted on keeping his commitment to his fans and he toured for 53 dates with a fractured hip and, as he did, it worsened to a more serious injury," Petty's wife Dana and daughter Adria share in their statement. "On the day he died he was informed his hip had graduated to a full-on break and it is our feeling that the pain was simply unbearable and was the cause of his overuse of medication."

First Super Blue Blood Moon Eclipse in over 150 years

Image
Stargazers all over the world are getting ready for the first super blue blood moon eclipse in more than 150 years and many are traveling to find the best locations to see it. This rare celestial phenomenon is occurring because a blue moon, a total lunar eclipse and a supermoon are all taking place at the same time. A blue moon is when two full moons happen in the same calendar month; lunar eclipses occur when the moon passes into earth’s shadow, and supermoons happen when the moon’s perigee (its closest approach to earth in a single orbit) coincides with a full moon. The super blue blood moon phenomenon hasn’t happened since 1866, and it is occurring because a total lunar eclipse is combining with a blue moon, which is in its closest position to earth, making it a supermoon. Blue moons only happen every two and a half years on average. The moon will take on a red glow as the supermoon happens to be occurring on the day of the lunar eclipse. “The moon will lose its brig...

Magnum Lost On The Road To Eternity

Image
Magnum has made significant contributions to British rock music over the last 40 years. They may not have enjoyed the same commercial success as other rock bands, but the consistent quality of their output has gained them an intensely loyal following among fans.  Lost On The Road To Eternity is their 20th full-length album, and continues Magnum’s recent streak of late-career successes from a creative view.  A wonderful marriage of theatre and swagger, it would be of little surprise if in the future we should look back on Lost On The Road To Eternity as one of Magnum’s finest records. The opening track ‘Peaches And Cream’ is an immediately anthemic start to the album, largely thanks to the confident strut of Tony Clarkin’s main guitar riff, as well as a luxurious solo embellishing the vocal melody.  From here, ‘Show Me Your Hands’ blends cascading piano runs with a driving rhythm section, as well as hugely effective staccato work from Clarkin.  Of course, no Ma...

Kat Von D talks music influence for Billie Joe Armstrong “Basket Case” liner "I pitched the idea of shooting the campaign paying homage to this poster I used to have up on my wall, and it was this old photograph of Sid and Nancy and they were handcuffed together, and I just remember staring at that as a teenager," she tells Billboard. "Nancy had this blown out black eye look and I was like, 'Oh, this totally makes sense.' I could totally see that image being translated with myself and Billie Joe." The formula is perfect to create the smudge-inspired Billie Joe look, with Kat Von D Beauty's site explaining that the formula glides on creamy, letting you "build, blend, smudge and smoke it out" to achieve your desire...

Corey Taylor To Stop Engaging Twitter Trolls

Image
Corey Taylor Vows To Stop Engaging Trolls About Politics On Twitter Corey Taylor has told the Kerrang! magazine in the UK that his New Year's Resolution is to stop engaging trolls about politics on Twitter. The outspoken Slipknot and Stone Sour frontman, whose disdain for Donald Trump is quite prevalent throughout his latest book, last year's "America 51", said: "Honestly, I would rather take a f***ing saw to my own face than deal with that kind of bulls**t anymore. It's so unnecessary and pathetic, and I can't take any more of that shit. It's not even that I have a problem with their politics: it's their self-righteous indignation that comes with it. "For all the harrumphing that the right does about the left being a bunch of snowflakes, they are the ones that are so hurt about so much s**t, it's not even funny," he continued. "I look at them and think, 'I'm not going to sit here and debate a crying child....
