Good morning/afternoon/evening AFGM readers!  Here is what's been making [AFGM] headlines:

In This Moment made a depressing announcement yesterday.  The group announced that two members of the group will be departing to join up with American Idol winner James Durbin and his upcoming album/tour.


Here is what Maria and the remaining members posted via Facebook:

"To our ITM friends and family,

We want to announce that Jeff and Blake are no longer a part of In This Moment. They have left the band to support American Idol contestant James Durbin, and we wish them the best in their future endeavors. We are embracing this change with open arms, and a renewed spirit…. sometimes you have to let go of whats in your hands to reach for something greater!

In the meantime, we are back in the studio, writing for our new album and the new songs are sounding better than anything we've done to date, we are aiming for a summer 2012 release so get ready and look out for a bigger and badder ITM in the coming year, thank you again to our friends and fans for all your love and support!"


Its going to be quite the adjustment, but I'm sure many musicians will step up to the challenge to fill the vacant positions.

Now seeing this ad on Black Sabbath's official website will make EVERY fan tremble with anticipation.  No word on what will be released once the clock hits zero, but many fans are speculating an announcement for a  long awaited tour and possibly some new material from the original four members.  All I can say is...HELLS YEAH!!!


Sabbath was reported to be sending out invites for an announcement ceremony, taking place on Friday, November 11th. According to the invitation, all four original members – Ozzy, Tony, Geezer and Bill will all be at the ceremony for the announcement. The private event will be hosted by HENRY ROLLINS, and will be held at the Whisky A Go Go in Hollywood, California.  Crossing fingers, eyes and everything else for some damn good news!
