Just read something hilarious there, but I really don't know if it's true or not - but I'd love to think it was: Pablo Escobar (major drug baron etc etc) hid out for a period in the 80s I think, by pretending he was the frontman from Toto; and if you dig out pictures of both you can see the resemblance! Just brilliant, but dont know, as I said, if it's actually true

Very true Pat, they will be diminished without him. Also seems to be needle between him and Stevie nicks that fed into the whole thing ... Shame really.

I see the rift between Lindsey Buckingham and Fleetwood Mac has deepened.

Buckingham was sacked by the band and he has filed a lawsuit for loss of potential earnings.

Apparently each member of the band will earn $12-14 million from their current tour.

Buckingham apparently wanted to do some solo concerts between the bands tour but the other band members were against this and so sacked him.

Shame really. He's been with them since 1974 and for me he makes the band tick with his vocals and especially his awesome guitar playing.

"Frampton Comes Alive" was the biggest selling album in 1976. Sold 8 million copies in USA alone and over 11 million copies worldwide.

One of the highest selling "live" albums in history.

Rod Stewart has scored his 9th solo Number 1 album in the UK charts with "Blood Red Roses".

Cher is at Number 2 with her ABBA covers album called "Dancing Queen".

Still life in the older acts.

Reviews so far are mixed.

Hard to replace Lindsey Buckingham.

Mike Campbell is a superb guitarist but I can only visualise him as being with Tom Petty & The Heartbreakers.

I like some of Crowded House's music but Neil Finn's voice doesn't reverberate with me when doing Fleetwood Mac songs.

I see Fleetwood Mac are back on tour.

Line up is Mick Fleetwood, John Mc Vie, Christine Mc Vie, Stevie Nicks with Mike Campbell (ex guitarist with Tom Petty) and Neil Finn from Crowded House.

The last two replacing Lindsey Buckingham who has left the band.

Speaking of Courteney Cox, she has produced the video for Kodalines new single: Love will set you free. She's going with Johnny McDaid (Snow Patrol) who is a mate of Kodaline's, and got to know and like the band and their music through him, producing the video followed from that ...

Seattle, where Jimi Hendrix was born, is called the Emerald City because it is surrounded by greenery all year round.
