What you missed on Tuesday July 14th 2009
Leave it to Danny Bonaduce to solve the Aerosmith injury mystery. The band's camp has been rather vague about the reason behind their recent string of concert cancelations, but Bonaduce cut through the PR red tape and got the real answer right from the source.
Aerosmith Drummer Joey Kramer appeared on The Danny Bonaduce Show on WYSP in Philly Monday morning to talk about his new autobiography and Bonaduce got the straight answer about the gig killing injury.
Kramer explained that it is indeed frontman Steven Tyler who was injured and gave the following details, "There's two big muscles in your legs, one's the quadricep, and he ripped that muscle. And it's painful, it hurts; for the first couple of days, he couldn't even stand up or walk or anything, so... [He injured it] jumping around on the stage." As for when they will return to the road? "We're hoping it's in the next week or so, but everything that has been canceled will be rescheduled," Kramer said.
In what is turning out to be the biggest heavy metal soap opera in recent memory, TMD has now learned that Zakk Wylde just might still have a job playing lead guitar for the Ozzy Osbourne band after all.
According to the bearded one's wife, Barbaranne Wylde, maybe there still is "No Rest for the Wicked"!
Here's a post from July 12th, directly off her Twitter page: "Z meeting with Ozzy tomorrow. All's good... we're family!"
Yesterday, we heard Ozzy indicated that he was auditioning a guitarist from Greece, but declined to give further details.
Ryan Seacrest has signed a mega-deal to stay on as American Idol host -- a deal that will pay him 45-million dollars over the next three years.

[sorry no $12 beers] The special offer, which is good at Live Nation ticketed amphitheaters, runs for 24 hours beginning on Wednesday, July 15 only at LiveNation.com.
"Last week's offer was one of the most popular of the summer," said Michael Rapino, President and Chief Executive Officer of Live Nation. "So we've decided to expand our all-in price concert experience into the reserved section of our amphitheaters, making even more tickets more affordable for music fans across the country."
