- The Eagles are opening up L.A.’s Nokia Theater (the site of next month’s American Music Awards) with a six-night stand that starts October 18th. The band is also reportedly close to signing a deal with the NFL to be halftime performers at the 2008 Super Bowl. And if you can’t wait for the October 30th release of their first album in over ten years, Long Road Out of Eden, then you’re in luck: Amazon.co.uk is offering “How Long” as its first free digital download. One catch, though — you need to be a U.K. resident with a U.K. IP address.
- Kanye West tells MTV News that like Will.i.am, he’s working on new material for Michael Jackson, explaining, “If I like a person’s outlet or what a person brings to the table then I’ll speak to them.”
- Justin Timberlake has become the first male solo artist this decade to have six Top 40 hits from one album, Billboard reports, following the entry of his most recent single, “Until the End of Time,” on the Top 40 this week. Michael Jackson was the last male artist to achieve this success, with seven singles from Dangerous.
- Though Radiohead have remained quiet about sales figures for In Rainbows, Gigwise reports the band has sold 1.2 million copies of the album via their name-your-own-price scheme. But the group’s management maintains that the idea was merely a promotional stunt to boost sales of the physical CD.
- Rumor Denial Department: Bobby Brown says he did not have a heart attack and MC Hammer insists he is not dead.
