After a five year hiatus, a 90s band is back on the scene. Vertical Horizon found some success with the song ‘Everything You Want’ and could have gotten bigger but a dispute with their record label caused their split. Now, founding members Matt Scannell and Keith Kane have brought in two new members, Sean Hurley and Ron Lavella, and have released a new CD called ‘Burning the Days’ on their own label. I haven’t heard anything from it yet, but with the rising of other former 90s bands like Third Eye Blind and other rock bands taking off like Daughtry, there may be a place for them on the radio again.
Ronnie Wood has become a grandfather again after his daughter Leah gave birth to a girl called Maggie.
Leah, 30, and TV producer husband Jack MacDonald welcomed 7lb baby girl Maggie two weeks prematurely, and she will be Wood’s sixth grandchild.
A source said: “Mother and baby are doing really well and the family are thrilled.”
Leah’s parents Ronnie, 61, and Jo have recently started divorce proceedings after Ronnie left Jo, his wife of 23-years, in July last year for 20-year-old Russian model Ekaterina Ivanova.
The Glitter saga continues as pedophile Gary Glitter has no choice but to go home. The glam rocker was released last week from a Vietnamese prison and was en route to England via Thailand. However, he refused to go on a connecting flight in Thailand and instead went on a flight to Hong Kong despite proclamations from the Chinese government that he would not be allowed entry to the country. A report says that once Glitter arrived in Hong Kong, Chinese immigration officials refused him entry and sent him back to Thailand. He doesn’t have a choice anymore but to face the scorn of his countrymen.
Queen guitarist Brian May has written something that is harder to understand than some of his group’s songs – his astrophysics doctoral thesis. The rocker just published his thesis entitled “A Survey of Radial Velocities in the Zodiacal Dust Cloud” which actually won him a PhD from Imperial College in London. According to Live Science, May’s thesis examines the mysterious phenomenon of Zodiacal light, a cone of light that appears in the western sky after sunset and in the eastern sky before sunrise. I can hardly believe that this came from the guy behind ‘Fat Bottomed Girls’ but still, congratulations go out to him.
Alice Cooper claims he is addicted to his wife. The 60-year-old rocker – who has just released his latest album ‘Along Came a Spider’ – says he has loves spouse Sheryl Goddard so much that he has never been unfaithful to her.
Alice said: “I’ve been married for 32 years and never cheated on her because I’m addicted to her.”
The musician, who gave up drink and drugs 26 years ago after a well-documented struggle, also revealed he admires Mary Whitehouse, despite her banning the music video for his hit ‘School’s Out’.
Alice also revealed he sent Mary – who campaigned for morality and decency on TV – flowers to thank her for her controversial decision.
He added: “Banning us was the greatest thing that could ever have happened. We were sending her roses every day to say thank you. And she couldn’t figure out why. Well, we sold out a major London venue because of that.”
