“Lost” may have just ended its six-season run, but one of the TV show’s stars is now immortalized on the new album by rock band Weezer.
A month after he was hospitalized following an early morning tour bus crash, Weezer singer Rivers Cuomo announced Thursday that he has gotten a doctor’s OK to get back on the road.
ALBANY, N.Y. – Weezer has canceled the rest of its December tour after the lead singer was injured in a bus crash in New York.
Glen, N.Y. – The lead singer of the rock band Weezer was involved in a serious bus accident today that left him and another passenger in an upstate New York hospital.
Well, it’s official. More than a month after rumors of a Blink-182/Weezer tour started circulating, and less than a week after the All-American Rejects hinted they’d be joining the bill, we’ve finally gotten to the bottom of what’s sure to be one of the biggest rock tours of the summer. As first reported in Rolling Stone (then subsequently posted on Blink bassist/singer Mark Hoppus’ blog and confirmed by the band’s label, Interscope), Blink and Weezer will be touring together this summer, and they’re taking Fall Out Boy with them. The tour kicks off July 24 and will run until October,… Read more »
NEW YORK —- On the heels of the release of the second volume of Weezer frontman Rivers Cuomo’s home recordings, the alternative rock group is now taking a look back into its own vaults. Cuomo told Billboard he has “no idea” when the tentatively titled “Odds and Ends” will be released, but describes it as “just another fun project to do. They’re great songs, but for some reason they didn’t make the final cut for (a) record. They span a vast period of time from the very beginning of our career in the early ’90s right up to the present… Read more »
Even with the overwhelming success of the acoustic ballad “Hey There, Delilah” last year – which earned the band two Grammy nominations – Plain White T’s lead singer Tom Higgenson says he’s been writing songs for the band’s next record since they finished their last one. Today, the Chicago-based quintet headed into a Malibu recording studio to begin work on their second major label album, the band’s fourth overall, which is expected to hit stores September 24th.

Singer Rivers Cuomo said that the band should released the new album next year. Posting on Weezer.com, he wrote, “Weezer is just polishing up a batch of songs for a recording session that is going to start at the beginning of July. This will be the final recording session for out sixth album, which we aim to put out in the first half of 2008.”
Last time we heard from Weezer, frontman Rivers Cuomo said they were “done.” Cooked. Put on ice … again.All of a sudden, though, it seems like things have ramped back up for the band that is more on-again/off-again than a Brittany Murphy engagement. Months after a mysterious Web site with the vague name AlbumSix.com began redirecting traffic to Weezer’s homepage, a note was posted on both sites on Monday announcing that the group was not only back together, but about to wrap up work on a yet-untitled sixth album. A post titled “Yams, clams, flans, plans, shams, crans and glands”… Read more »
Rick Rubin never having won the Producer of the Year Grammy was the musical equivalent of Martin Scorsese never having won the best-director Oscar. And on Sunday, two weeks before Scorsese is expected to finally get his prize, Rubin was at last honored – and then honored again and again and again. In the end, Rubin walked away (not literally – he did not attend) with five Grammys: for Producer of the Year; Album of the Year and Country Album of the Year for the Dixie Chicks’ Taking the Long Way; Record of the Year for the Chicks’ “Not Ready… Read more »
