Dickey Betts, who revolutionized the twin-guitar approach in rock before helping lead the Allman Brothers Band out of unspeakable tragedy, has died. The 80-year-old had been suffering from cancer and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease. He never quite secured individual fame, despite having been such an important part of the Allman Brothers Band. After all, Betts kept nagging the late Duane Allman until he finally recruited younger brother Gregg to sing in their fledgling outfit. By then, he and Duane had already created a collaborative style that made the traditional roles of rhythm and lea...

John Mellencamp has a clear message to fans planning to attend his shows: behave or just stay home. The Rock & Roll Hall of Famer – known for such timeless tunes as “Hurts So Good” and “Jack & Diane” – recently hit the road for his 2024 Live and in Person tour. In a conversation with The Washington Post, Mellencamp detailed what he expects of his fans. “I do expect etiquette inside of the theater, the same way you would at a Broadway show,” the rocker explained. “My shows are not really concerts anymore. They’re performances, and there’s a difference between a performance and a concert.” READ ...

John Oates says his half-century musical partnership with Daryl Hall has come to an end after months of public, ongoing litigation between the two. “You can ask Daryl the same question,” Oates told Rolling Stone in a new interview. “But, yes. As far as I’m concerned, I’ve moved on. I feel like I have a new lease on my creative life.” The drama between both musicians became public knowledge last November, when Hall filed a lawsuit (and obtained a temporary restraining order) against Oates in an attempt to block Oates from selling his share in their joint venture to Primary Wave Music, claiming ...

Count Sheryl Crow among the growing number of famous musicians dismayed by the paltry payments artists receive from Spotify. The beloved singer, and 2023 Rock & Roll Hall of Fame inductee, was recently a guest on Club Random with Bill Maher. The two compared recent trends in the music industry, compared to when Crow was starting out. “[Now] you create your brand, you advertise yourself, you sell yourself,” the singer explained. “Then the music is just a byproduct of that, and you’re selling yourself so that you can sell tickets and get advertisers. That was never part of the way I came up. The...

Most music fans today are aware there’s a long-running argument about whether the writers of the songs we love are fairly compensated for the profits made out of them. The internet brought the argument into the light, but it wasn’t really new. Since the era of recorded music began – and actually, long before that, when people bought sheet music rather than albums – the disagreement has raged on. It’s often assumed that those who reach certain heady heights will be more immune from being ripped off, if only because they can command bigger percentages and hire better lawyers. But consider the ca...

Longtime members of his team have applied to place him under a conservatorship for his own good – with the promise that the 81-year-old will remain free to do anything he wants to.
