Uncut joins Robert Fripp and the latest incarnation of King Crimson in the rehearsal studio to hear about their upcoming gigs, the problems with touring and his setlist plans, in the new issue, out now.
“My professional life has been so devoid of joy,” explains Fripp, marveling at his enjoyment of the rehearsals so far.
A tree planted in memory of George Harrison has died after being infested by beetles.
The pine in Los Angeles' Griffith Park was planted in 2004 as a tribute Harrison, who passed away in 2001 in the city. A plaque on the tree read: "In memory of a great humanitarian who touched the world as an artist, a musician and a gardener." It also featured a quote from Harrison: "For the forests to be green, each tree must be green."
“Welcome to an evening of country and eastern,” smiles Robert Plant as he gestures expansively round this fabled Paris venue, taking in not just the lively capacity crowd gathered here tonight but also to his latest musical collaborators, The Sensational Space Shifters.
Robert Plant has confirmed details of his new album, lullaby and... The Ceaseless Roar.
The album — which has been recorded with The Sensational Space Shifters — will be released on September 9 on Nonesuch / Warner Bros. Records.
