Foo Fighters guitarist Chris Shiflett expects the band to make another album.The future of the band has been uncertain following the death of drummer Taylor Hawkins in March. Foo Fighters cancelled all their scheduled gigs following the loss and have avoided discussing plans beyond a pair of tribute concerts for Hawkins.However, in a new interview, guitarist Chris Shiflett has said that he expects there to be a new album from the band at some point.Speaking on The Plug With Justin Jay, Shiflett (who’s recently released solo singles ‘Born & Raised‘ and ‘Long, Long Year‘) was asked if other interviewers had brought up Hawkins’ passing or if it’s been “an elephant in the room”.“Most people that I’ve encountered have been respectful about it or try to avoid it,” said Shiflett.
“It probably will be [more of a thing] when we ever get around to putting out another Foo Fighters record and go back into the promo boogie woogie.“I remember that when I joined Foo Fighters, it was 1999 so it was a while after Kurt Cobain had died but I would watch interviewers twist themselves in knots trying to ask Dave [Grohl] about it but not ask. I would think it would turn into that kinda thing,” he added.hey – nothing better than catching up with an old friend!! streaming everywhere now… https://t.co/aLlVpzPSW1 pic.twitter.com/JRov2S6NZO— Chris Shiflett (@ChrisShiflett71) September 25, 2022He went on to say how “people are pretty respectful but it’s made me reconsider everything I thought I knew about Jim Morrison dying, or Randy Rhoads or any of those rock & roll tragedies”.“Taylor was this big character and he meant a lot to millions of people so I get that fascination with [his death] but so much of what I’ve seen out there is so completely

Former Alabama escapee Casey White pleaded not guilty Tuesday at his arraignment on escape and felony murder charges after his alleged accomplice in the jailbreak shot herself in the head rather than face arrest.

filed for divorce from his longtime wife Christina Evangeline back in June, it didn’t attract too many headlines beyond the initial announcement. People get divorced in Hollywood all the time, but when news of her reportedly dating his SNL co-star Chris Redd went public a few weeks ago, the general public got a lot more interested. There are few things people love talking about more than a messy break-up, but if the latest reports are to be believed, however, this break-up is a whole lot less messy than it seems on paper.

A homeless man who fell, hurt himself and ended up paralyzed while running away from Atlanta police officers is expected to receive a multimillion-dollar payout from the city, which could impact future services, one city leader said. A jury initially awarded Jerry Blasingame $100 million after he was Tasered and left paralyzed. A federal judge reduced the amount, meaning Blasingame could receive at least a $40 million payout, Fox Atlanta reported. "This would put a substantial dent in the amount of services that we would be able to provide to citizens across the board," City Councilman Michael Bond told the news outlet. Blasingame, 69, was panhandling near a freeway when he attempted to run away during the July 10, 2018, encounter with police officers.
All this Late Night Talking about Harry Styles playing James Bond seems to be nudging him ever closer to donning that famous white tuxedo.The dramatic slashing of his odds to a stunningly low 14-1 follows a flurry of betting this week on the former One Direction star succeeding Daniel Craig, who stepped down from the role after last year's No Time To Die. Nicola McGeady of Ladbrokes said: “Although Henry Cavill is favourite to become the next James Bond, punters have different ideas.The franchise have talked about surprising the audience with their choice, and Harry Styles would certainly do that." Indeed, as Styles' movie Don’t Worry Darling went down a storm at the box office, a new wave of punters really do believe Harry is next in line to the 007 throne.This is a huge swing from the 33-1 bookies were offering only recently.The momentum now means Harry has left fellow one-time 66-1 longshots - Thor's Chris Hemsworth and Star Wars' Ewan McGregor - firmly in the dust.

Brent Lang Executive Editor Illumination, the studio behind the “Despicable Me” franchise, has tapped Mike Moon to form a new label, Moonlight. The goal is to broaden the range of films that Illumination makes beyond the kid-friendly fare that’s been its stock in trade. Moon most recently served as the head of adult animation at Netflix, a post he stepped down from in July to “pursue other opportunities.” His exit came as the streamer, battered by a swooning stock price, was laying off animators and dialing back its ambitions in the space. In addition to his new role as president of Moonlight, the company said that Moon will serve as a senior creative advisor to Illumination. Moonlight’s films will be distributed under Illumination’s distribution partnership with Universal Pictures. Illumination said the goal is for Moonlight to “produce animated films that push beyond the family genre.”
