Chris Shiflett has shared his latest solo single ‘Born & Raised’ – you can listen to the track below.The Foo Fighters guitarist recorded the song at the same time as ‘Long, Long Year’, which arrived back in July.While both of the songs were recorded with the producer Vance Powell in Nashville, ‘Born & Raised’ started life in Shiflett’s hometown of Santa Barbara.He later teamed up with bassist Jack Lawrence (The Raconteurs, Jack White, Wanda Jackson), drummer Julian Doro (Eagles of Death Metal, The Whigs), keyboardist Mike Webb and steel guitarist Luke Schneider in Nashville to finish ‘Born & Raised’, which you can hear below.“My trip out to Nashville in March 2021 was my first time recording any solo material since I made [2019 solo album] ‘Hard Lessons’,” Shiflett said of the recording.“I hadn’t done much traveling post-COVID lockdown so I was a little nervous heading out there to work with a producer and roomful of musicians I didn’t really know.  In true Nashville style we made our introductions and got right down to work, hammering out the basic tracks in a few hours.“Vance was great and made me feel right at home, and the group of players he put together were on point.”More new music from Shiflett is expected to arrive in the coming months.Shiflett took part in last weekend’s tribute concert for the late Foo Fighters drummer Taylor Hawkins, which took place at Wembley Stadium in London.

Taylor Hawkins’ son Shane drum ‘My Hero’.The 16-year-old got behind the drums with the Foo Fighters to perform the 1997 hit, which he previously performed in tribute to his late father in July, at Wembley Stadium last weekend.The former Police drummer, who performed a cover of ‘Next To You’ and ‘Every Little Thing She Does Is Magic’ with Dave Grohl and co at the tribute concert, said he was overcome with when he saw Shane get behind the drums before the concert.Copeland told CBS This Morning: “It is very emotional to be here and perhaps the most emotional moment of this whole thing, because we’re all staying in one big hotel together and laughing it up, talking about Taylor and enjoying the brief time he was with us, all too brief.“But the most emotional moment for me was at sound check a couple of days ago here and to see young Shane Hawkins on the drums. I started crying.

I’m adding another #earbiscuits tweet.

He was a really sweet guy.

Ozzy Osbourne has shared one more preview of the record: a cut called ‘Nothing Feels Right’ that features Zakk Wylde on guitar.Wylde has regularly toured with Ozzy and played guitar for several of his solo albums, such as 1988’s ‘No Rest for the Wicked’, 1991’s ‘No More Tears’, 1995’s ‘Ozzmosis’, 2001’s ‘Down to Earth’ and multiple live records.However, ‘Nothing Feels Right’ marks the first time the Black Label Society frontman has appeared on an Osbourne album since 2007’s Black Rain’ – he was absent from both 2010’s ‘Scream’ and 2020’s ‘Ordinary Man’.

Taylor Hawkins tribute show at Wembley Stadium in London has been on your radar. The show has prompted an outpouring of heartwarming celebration as fans have reacted to the unbelievable number of rock legends to have appeared on the night, as well as commemorate the memory of Taylor, who died in March aged 50.

Paul McCartney made a surprise appearance at the Taylor Hawkins Tribute Concert at Wembley Stadium on Saturday night, honouring the drummer after his sudden death aged 50 in March. Alongside Chrissie Hynde, who earlier took to the stage for a set nearer the top of the show with her band The Pretenders, and the pair sang a duet. Foo Fighters front man Dave Grohl kept the Beatles legend’s introduction deceptively low-key, focusing on welcoming Chrissie back, before adding ‘and her good friend, Paul McCartney’.

Dave Grohl couldn’t hold back the tears as he and theFoo Fighters performed “Times Like These” on Saturday during the Taylor Hawkins tribute show at the Wembley Arena in London.  Grohl, and bandmates, Pat Smear, Chris Sheflett, and Rami Jaffee took the stage with dim lights while the frontman began to belt out the classic song and the audience sang along. Grohl was able to keep it together until he got mid-way through the song when he began to tear up.
