Looks like the band Oasis may be hiring soon.  Drummer Zak Starkey has had a falling out with Singer Noel Gallagher and it is unlikely that the two will perform together again.  The band recently finished their latest album and are due to embark on a North American tour in the late summer with the first night taking place at our very own WaMu Theater on August 26^th.  Hopefully a suitable replacement will be found by then.  No official announcement about Starkey’s departure has been made as of yet.

For those of you who are addicted to gossip websites and pop culture, there are two names that you probably know very well.  Amy Winehouse and Babyshambles singer Pete Doherty.  The two may be singlehandedly funding London’s drug dealers, but  now they will be coming together to use their powers for good.  The two are supposedly set to release a duet as a single which will also appear on the next Babyshambles album.   Rumor has it that Doherty left his latest stint in jail and went straight to the studio to begin recording.

Coldplay’s website is now allowing fans to register for the chance to win free tickets for shows  in London and New York.  You can head to coldplay.com and leave your details if you want to be in the running and winners will be picked at random.  Don’t have the money to fly to New York if you do win?  No problem.  One winner will receive an all-expenses paid trip to the gig from anywhere in the world including tickets, flights and accommodation. The results of both the London and New York gig ballots will be announced on June 5.

The band Lit have posted a message on their myspace page announcing that drummer Allen Shellenberger is being treated for a brain tumor.  The band was set to kick off a European tour which has now been cancelled.  Allen’s fellow band members are asking fans to post uplifting messages at myspace.com/litlounge.  They say they’ll make sure that Allen gets everyone.  Get better soon man.

My Morning Jacket plan to follow up its performance at the Bonnaroo festival with a headlining tour, beginning June 20 at Radio City Music Hall.  The tour includes theaters, large clubs and amphitheaters, and almost all dates will be "an evening with" format, featuring extended sets from the band with a lot of new material.  You’ll be able to catch the band at Seattle’s McCaw Hall on September 28^th.

Paramore will use some time off this summer to work on their next album, which singer Hayley Williams says will be heavier and better than their first album, Riot. They plan to return home to Nashville to record the album, which Williams will write with guitarist Josh Farro. Paramore will spend the first part of the summer playing clubs and festivals in Europe. They'll return to the U-S in July to play a few Warped Tour shows, but won’t be on the tour when it hits the Gorge on August 9^th.

Amy Winehouse was arrested yesterday in London on charges of suspected drug possession.  But it’s not due to any recent partying.  The arrest is in connection to a video taken in January which the singer was seen smoking what appears to be a crack pipe.  Amy voluntarily went to the police station for questioning and is said to be co-operating with authorities.
