Already off to a good start, Chris Cornell announced via Twitter that Soundgarden will be hosting reunion concert gigs in 2010. Although no admission of new material, this is still amazing.
Billboard.com writes:
Although no details have been announced yet, sources tell Billboard the group is weighing offers from several major U.S. and international festivals. But a tour routing is still a work in progress, due to Cameron’s prior commitments to play with Pearl Jam in the spring and summer of next year.
Even better news is that Timbaland will have nothing to do with it.
According to Hits Daily Double:
Tonight was Def Jam’s, of Island Def Jam, 25th Anniversary of existing. A great accomplishment, though not really when you think of all the talent (and disasters CoughPittsburgSlimCough) that have been on that label. The house that Rick Rubin and Russell Simmons built has been home to such stars as Jay-Z, Kanye West, Rihanna, and unfortunately Rick Ross.
