OFF: Joey Ramone, Purple, Skynyrd

[Nick English]

The solo album Joey Ramone was working on at the time
of his death is expected to be released before the end
of the year.  Ironically, it'll probably get more
attention thanks to his death.

UNRELATED NEWS:  Deep Purple and Lynyrd Skynyrd are
launching a co-headlining U.S. tour this summer.
Unfortunately, Ted Nugent is opening, so I'd suggest
showing up about 75 minutes late.  Dates are available
in the news section of VH1.com
