Briefly: Rolling Stones, Beenie Man, Bob Dylan, Lil Wayne
The Rolling Stones have called of their second consecutive date in Spain due to frontman Mick Jagger's ongoing battle with laryngitis.
Jagger developed throat problems over the weekend, forcing the group to call off its planned Monday (7/14) performance in Valladolid. Today (7/15), the group announced that Wednesday's (7/16) planned gig in El Ejido was canceled.
Dancehall favorite Beenie Man is set to issue a new album dubbed "Undisputed" on Aug. 29. The lead single is titled "Hmm Hmm," produced by Tony Kelly (Sean Paul, Sasha.)
A remix version of the single, featuring Foxy Brown, is currently airing on New York radio stations Hot 97 and Power 105, and will soon be sent to other stations, according to Virgin Records.
Bob Dylan will premiere his upcoming album, "Modern Times," Aug. 28 on XM Satellite Radio--one day before the much-anticipated set reaches stores. The world premiere will air at 12 midnight ET on XM's Deep Tracks (XM 40), The Village (XM 15) and Hear Music (XM 75), with encores also airing on these channels throughout the day.
Dylan hosts XM's weekly "Theme Time Radio Hour." Those who purchase "Modern Times" at selected retailers, including Circuit City, on Aug. 29 will also receive a bonus disc containing the "baseball" episode of "Theme Time Radio Hour."
Rapper Lil Wayne (real name Dwayne Michael Carter, 23) reportedly was arrested Monday morning (8/14) in Atlanta on drug charges. According to the Associated Press, he was arrested "with several drugs in his possession," and later released on bond.
