Pearl Jam issued a brief statement at PearlJam.com regarding the death of Layne Staley: "We are heartbroken over the loss of our friend," the group writes on its website in an entry titled "Goodbye, Layne." "He will be missed immensely. We feel blessed to have shared life, love, and music with him.” MTV.com reports Ministry vocalist Al Jourgensen’s take on Staley’s death: "I sat down and had a talk with him. I remember he was really interested in what was being glamorized as this great lifestyle -- being a heroin addict. And I remember telling him, 'Man, this is the furthest thing from the fucking truth.' Movies like Pulp Fiction, where you have Travolta drinking whiskey while shooting up this imported dope -- you'd be dead if you even tried that. ... I tried to tell him then, but you could just see the wonderment, the experimentation in his eyes. ... I've been there too. It's not something pretty to watch. He was a talented kid."

The Sex Pistols anticipated appearance in London on the weekend of the Queen's Jubilee will now not happen. "They simply did not want to play that weekend and it will not go ahead," the managing director of Solo Promotions, which is organizing the event, told Reuters. Noise levels appear to be the cause. Furthering our report from 4/16, Jackyl's Jesse James Dupree spoke of the band's latest effort on the band's website, "We’re down to mixing the last 4 songs which should be done by weeks end. It is a very honest, unpretentious rock ‘n roll Jackyl record. Some of the titles are… Give The Devil His Due, Kill The Sunshine (Co-written with BRIAN JOHNSON from AC/DC), Vegas Smile, If You Want It Heavy (I Weigh A Ton), Billy Badass (I am a motherfucker) and Sparks From Candy. We have all intentions of getting this album released as soon as possible. We’ve fulfilled our contract with Geffen with the release of our Choice Cuts greatest hits album. This leaves us free and clear to find a new label home. We currently have a good idea of how things will be working out, but at this time it is in our attorney’s hands. Our primary concern at this time is that we find a label fully committed to going the distance with this new album." .
