Dave Grohl  has finally opened up about the difficulty of coping with the death of his  Foo Fighters  bandmate,  Taylor Hawkins .

Kid Rock  got an unexpected shout out in  Conan O'Brien 's Oscars monologue Sunday night (March 15), but the "Bawitdaba" singer wasn't too impressed with the jab.

Gene Simmons teased that the KISS avatar show will be so mind-blowing that it'll make the Las Vegas Sphere look like a popcorn fart.  He says more details will be announced in "under two years".

Billy Idol has announced  his return to Las Vegas for a five night run of shows. "Billy Idol: Hot In The City" will take place at the BleauLive Theater inside Fontainebleau Las Vegas.

Remember when your jaw dropped  when Vinnie Vincent insisted  no one could have his new song unless they paid $225? Well, buckle up. 

Congratulations to Metallica's James Hetfield, who  popped the question  to longtime GF Adriana Gillett, and he did it in memorable fashion.

Dave Grohl is almost as well known as a pitmaster as he is for his place in rock history. The Foo Fighters frontman has been known to bring his barbecue skills to bear for local charities in the past. 

Longtime Motörhead guitarist Phil Campbell  has passed . The announcement was made on the official Instagram page for his current band, Phil Campbell and the B****** Sons. 

 Gene Simmons says he once stuck his tongue almost down Adam Sandler's throat because he wanted to turn him into his [B-word] for a photo.  Adam's retelling of the interaction is a bit different.

 Chris Robinson of the Black Crowes says ending his own rift with brother and bandmate Rich Robinson (and reuniting the band after six years apart)  had something to do with it .

Pretty much everyone loves Pink Floyd's "Dark Side of the Moon," but do you love it to the tune of 13 grand?

Shirley Manson says her anti-beach ball rant during a Garbage show came not long after the death of her father.  Quote, "Clearly, I should have been at home but I carried on working.  It was a bad call."

While the collection contains no new music, it does include a new mix of the original album, an unreleased, 16-song 1975 concert at Anaheim Stadium, and new Dolby Atmos and high-res stereo mixes.

The early days of Bon Jovi  are being brought to the big screen . 

The long career of Alice Cooper (along with his equally interesting private life) are about to be recounted  in a new memoir . 

Long-time Boston lead vocalist Tommy DeCarlo  has passed . His family broke the news on social media.

Netflix has released the first trailer  for the upcoming documentary "The Rise of the Red Hot Chili Peppers: Our Brother, Hillel." 

 Van Halen is one of the biggest and most influential bands in rock history, but interestingly, you don't hear too many covers of their music. However,  a new version  of the band's biggest chart hit is about to introduce the song to a new generation.

For those who thought a second round of Sphere shows would handle the overwhelming demand for Metallica's upcoming residency, think again.

We told you yesterday  that it seemed like Courtney Love and Melissa Auf der Mar were teasing a Hole reunion. Hope you didn't get your hopes up; Love herself personally replied to "Spin's" Instagram post about the story, writing,  “No Hole reunion”  

Could Hole be getting back together? They last took the stage 14 years ago, but a recent social media exchange between Courtney Love and Melissa Auf der Mar  has fans thinking reunion .
