| 2009-09-01 | Heaven & Hell Is Not Breaking Up: Says DIO's Management | The management for legendary heavy metal vocalist Ronnie James Dio (Heaven & Hell, Black Sabbath, Rainbow, DIO) has released the following statement to blabbermouth.net:
"[We] just want to quash any rumors that Heaven & Hell have broken up. [Heaven & Hell guitarist] Tony Iommi has to have surgery on his hand and [needs] some down time for recovery. Therefore DIO will be performing some dates in the U.K. and Europe in November/December during this time off. Heaven & Hell are already making plans for dates next year."
In a recent interview with The Aquarian Weekly, Iommi stated about his upcoming surgery, "I've got to have an operation on my hand, and that's sort of a major thing I need to get done and I've been putting it off now. So we're going to have some time off while I get that done. That'll be a bit of a break, I think. Not for everybody, but it'll be some time off from touring for me for sure."
When asked what happened to his hand, Iommi replied, "The cartilage is gone from the thumb in my fingering hand. It's been like that now, to be honest, for a year and I've been taking anti-inflammatories and all sorts of stuff to try and calm it down, but it's inevitable I've got to have the operation because the bone is rubbing on the bone. Funny enough, I talked to Eddie Van Halen this morning, because he's had the same sort of problem, so I'm seeing him to have a chat about what happened to him. He thinks it's very successful, so we'll see."

| 2009-08-20 | Richie Kotzen: "Peace Sign" Artwork & Samples | Richie Kotzen (ex-Mr. Big, Poison) will issue a new album called "Peace Sign" this fall. The exact release date for the effort will be announced soon.
Check out the cover artwork here.
Two songs from the CD — "Paying Dues" and "Lie To Me" — are available for streaming on Richie's MySpace page.
Quality video footage of Kotzen's August 14, 2009 "unplugged" performance in Habach, Germany can be viewed below (courtesy of "eblinternational").
Richie Kotzen's first-ever live DVD, "Bootlegged In Brazil", was released in Europe on December 5, 2008 via Frontiers Records.
A perfect complement to the recent CD-only release "Live In Sao Paulo", "Bootlegged In Brazil" is the first official live performance to be made available by the acclaimed guitarist/vocalist.
The DVD features a performance from Kotzen's South American tour in 2007 and includes classic tracks from his repertoire: from the rhythmic labors of "A Love Divine" to "Go Faster" (off Kotzen's last studio album, "Return Of The Mother Head's Family Reunion") and the great "Doin' What The Devils Says To Do".
Richie Kotzen's sound is influenced by such classic artists as Bad Company, Free, Van Halen and Cream. They are the inspiration for his songs, but having deep Philadelphia roots, Kotzen tends to combine rock with the Motown influences he heard as a kid, offering the fans a soulful and timeless approach to the music.
