Ex-Pearl Jam Drummer Reveals If He'll Ever Rejoin the Band

Ex-Pearl Jam Drummer Reveals If He'll Ever Rejoin the Band

Ex-Pearl Jam Drummer Reveals If He'll Ever Rejoin the Bandoriginally appeared onParade. In the wake ofMatt Cameronannouncing his departure fromPearl Jamafter nearly forty years of playing drums for the rock group, fans speculated about who might replace him. Could it beJosh Freese, the newly dismissedFoo Fighters drummer? Or could it beZak Starkey, whogot the axfrom The Who? Some have even brought upDave Abbruzzese. Abbruzzese played with Pearl Jam from 1991 to 1994, replacingMatt Chamberlainshortly before the band released their debut album,Ten. Abbruzzese played on the following two albums—Vs.andVitalogy—though the band would fire him over personality conflicts right beforeVitalogyhit stores. And it appears those conflicts are still in place, according to a new Facebook post by Abbruzzese. "It seems the guys in the band matured and grew up as much as I did, but the fact that I haven't had any personal contact with any of them leads me to believe the water under the bridge runs too deep and too icy for there to be any reconnection or reconciliation," he wrote in a lengthy message on July 8. "This is a shame and saddens me greatly," he added. "I know I could and would have much to contribute if indeed the call came, but sadly, I don't see that happening." Abbruzzese claimed that he experienced "trials and tribulations" by "the actions of the band's management and the band's old label." However, he doesn't hold a grudge againstEddie Vedder, Stone Gossard, Mike McCreadyorJeff Ament. "With the exceptions of some petty comments and actions that I never quite understood or expected, I have never placed blame and harbored resentments towards the members of the band," he wrote. "Although I never truly understood what was so important to destroy the musical chemistry we had back then, it is what it is, and I can't do anything about it," he added. "I wish Pearl Jam and its organization continued success, and I do hope that there will come a day that we can again connect on some level."

Olivia Munn reveals her mom was diagnosed with breast cancer: 'Even more heartbreaking'

Olivia Munn'smother has been diagnosed withbreast cancer. The "Newsroom" star, 45, shared the news in anInstagram post on Wednesday, July 9, more than a year afterrevealing her own breast cancer diagnosis. Munn said that after being diagnosed with breast cancer herself in 2023, she urged her mother to take a breast cancer lifetime risk assessment test. Her mom's high score on the test led her to get an MRI, and she was ultimately diagnosed with breast cancer. Munn said her mom has since completed 12 rounds of chemotherapy. "From my mom being there after my double mastectomy to me being there after hers," Munn wrote in her post. "From me having to find an oncologist, to my mom and I sharing one. I can tell you this: going through cancer is really hard. But there's something about watching a loved one go through it that is even more heartbreaking." View this post on Instagram A post shared by o l i v i a (@oliviamunn) Munn also shared a series of photos and videos on Instagram along with her message, the first of which showed her mother on her first day of chemotherapy. Another showed Munn's mother sitting with her son-in-law,John Mulaney. The comedian has joked about Munn's mom in his stand-up,including on "Saturday Night Live" in 2024, when he quipped that his mother-in-law, "who lives with us," is "two feet tall." You could win $100 just by reading:How to enter USA TODAY's Summer Book Challenge Munn said she spent "many nights" taking care of her mom when the chemotherapy "became too much," and she wished "I could fight the fight for her, even if only for a day to give her a little break." The "Your Friends & Neighbors" star added that she is "proud" of her mom for handling the diagnosis "with bravery and humor while still driving us crazy," quipping that "just days after her double mastectomy she tried to do laundry and make dinner — she's insane." Munn first shared news of her own breast cancer diagnosis in March 2024. At the time, she said she would not have received her diagnosis for another year had her doctor not decided to calculate her breast cancer risk assessment score. "The fact that she did saved my life," Munn said at the time. Olivia Munndetails breast cancer journey, including 4 surgeries in 10 months In her post on July 9, Munn said she "never would've predicted" that this same risk assessment test "would save my mom's life as well," and she said that her mother "wanted me to tell you that she hopes by sharing her story it will help save someone's life." Munnpreviously opened upabout her breast cancer battle at Time's Women of the Year gala in February, sharing that she still has "years to go in my cancer treatment."

Texas Flood:Signs of lost campers litter riverbanks amid search for the missing The man, identified as Jeffrey Brady, dove into the water to rescue the children, Yuma County Sheriff's Office spokesperson Tania Pavlak told the Arizona Republic. He was able to keep them afloat until a vessel was able to bring the boys to safety, she added. Brady struggled to stay above the water and did not resurface, according to the news release. The Yuma County Sheriff's Office, in collaboration with multiple other agencies, conducted an underwater search. Brady's body was recovered around 7:00 p.m. on July 5.

How Liam Payne's death is addressed in 'Building the Band'

How Liam Payne's death is addressed in 'Building the Band'

Liam Payne's memory lives on in "Building the Band." Thelate One Direction singermakes his final television appearance in the new Netflix singing competition — and fans are tuning in to see his last moments on screen. Payne died on Oct. 16, 2024, after falling from a third floor balcony of a hotel in Buenos Aires, Argentina. He was 31. His death sent a wave of shock across the world, as fans of the musician mourned his sudden death. Before he died, Payne had filmed "Building the Band," working as a judge alongside host and Backstreet Boy AJ McLean, mentor and judge Nicole Scherzinger and judge Kelly Rowland. The competition show brings together singers, isolated in their own pods a la "Love Is Blind," who create their own groups without ever seeing one another. All they have to go off are the person's vocals and the chemistry they create together. Payne, as well as Rowland, bring in their expertise and personal experience to the competition. "He lit up any room that he walked into," McLean tells TODAY.com. "Whether it was a dressing room, on set, where he was, he lit up that space with his energy, with his open heart, open mind. He was extremely, very well spoken, very articulate when it came to giving feedback as a mentor to these groups." McLean adds that Payne was "very supportive, rigorously honest in a compassionate way" and "the coolest dude" on set. They also bonded over their shared boy band and life experiences. As the first four episodes stream on Netflix on July 9, the premiere addresses Payne's unexpected death. The first episode opens with a message from McLean, paying tribute to Payne. "When we came together to film 'Building the Band,' we never imagined we'd soon be saying goodbye to our friend, Liam Payne," McLean says in the first episode. "Liam is a guest judge in later episodes, and through his presence, we see his deep love for music and his unwavering commitment to helping others find their voice." As photos and video footage of Payne from his time on the show appear on the screen, McLean adds, "It's through that spirit that we dedicate this series to Liam and his family." Payne's autopsy reportfrom the Argentina National Prosecutor's Office shows that he died of "polytrauma and internal and external bleeding" after his fall. Preliminary toxicology results,unconfirmed by NBC News at the time, found that he had multiple substances in his system when he fell, reportedly including "pink cocaine," a cocktail of drugs including methamphetamine, ketamine, MDMA and more, as well as cocaine, benzodiazepine and crack, according to sources quoted by ABC News. One month after his death,a private funeral servicetook place at St. Mary's Church in the town of Amersham, just outside of London, on Nov. 20. Among the attendees included the other members of One Direction, Payne's then-girlfriendKate Cassidy, and Cheryl Cole, the mother ofhis son, Bear.

Freddie, the CBP beagle kicked at Dulles Airport, is returning to work

Freddie, the CBP beagle kicked at Dulles Airport, is returning to work

A police K9 is returning to its post at Dulles International Airport this morning, two weeks after allegedly beingkicked by a travelerwhile screening the man's luggage. The dog's handler, Customs and Border Protection Agriculture Specialist Melissa Snyder, told CBS News' Major Garrett that the 5-year-old beagle named Freddie had alerted her to a bag possibly containing fruit and other foods in the baggage claim area of the Virginia airport on June 24. The luggage belonged to Hamed Aly Marie, 70, an Egyptian national who had arrived on EgyptAir Flight 981 with his wife. When Snyder asked the couple about the contents of their luggage, Marie delivered an "intentional kick" to the right side of Freddie's ribcage, hard enough to lift the dog off the ground and cause bruising and a contusion, according to CBP.  Luckily, Snyder said "it scared him more than anything." Freddie was taken to a veterinary emergency room while Marie was arrested by CBP and handed over to investigative authorities from Homeland Security, according to Snyder. Now, after a couple weeks of recovery, Freddie is ready to head back to work. Originally a rescue dog, Freddie has spent 22 months with CBP, which trained the beagle to locate and identify travelers bringing in food items from overseas, protecting against the potential introduction of pests or blights that could devastate parts of the U.S. agricultural industry. It's a big responsibility for a small dog, but Snyder said that for Freddie, the job is more fun than real work. "He thinks we're playing hide-and-seek and he loves to play hide-and-seek all day," Snyder said. "To him it's the greatest game in the world, because he gets paid in treats." Beagles are especially good for airport work, and it's not just because of their powerful sense of smell, Snyder said. Freddie's breed can come across as less threatening than other, larger dogs, creating a calmer environment for everyone. During his nearly two years with CBP, Freddie has put his skills to good work, sniffing out 4,500 pounds of plant products and 3,800 pounds of meat – including 140 pounds of bushmeat from rats, snakes, camels and crocodiles. Marie's bag was filled with more than 100 pounds of agricultural items prohibited from entering the U.S., according to a statement from CBP. A day later, he pleaded guilty to a federal criminal count of malicious assault on a police animal and was sentenced to time served, alongside an agreement to pay Freddie's $840 veterinarian fee. CBP reported that Marie flew back to Egypt on June 26. Sneak peek: Who Killed Aileen Seiden in Room 15?
