These days, he's back on top -- and back with the band that made him famous -- but things were very different for Van Halen frontman David Lee Roth in the early '90s.
The guys from Motley Crue have spent the last couple of years hinting that retirement is on the horizon, and bass guitarist Nikki Sixx recently went so far as to say the band would be hanging it up after one more album and tour. But you know how long rock retirements tend to last -- and it looks like Sixx might be leaving himself some room for renegotiation.
Joe Walsh took 20 years to deliver his most recent solo album, 2012's 'Analog Man,' but it looks like his next project will come together much more easily.
Former Led Zeppelin guitarist Jimmy Page is a hero to many rock musicians, but few of Page's axe-slinging fans have gone to the trouble of writing a song named after him.
In news that hopefully isn't as troubling as it seems, Bon Jovi guitarist Richie Sambora will miss the next leg of Bon Jovi's touring commitments due to what the band is describing as "personal issues."
He's been dead for decades -- and the subject of countless retrospectives ever since -- but that doesn't mean we've heard and seen everything Jim Morrison committed to tape before he passed away. The latest example? A newly unearthed candid interview the Doors front man gave to director and journalist Howard Smith in 1969.
Tommy Chong has built an entire comedy career out of pot, and Paul McCartney is one of classic rock's most noted connoisseurs of the stuff -- so how is it that the two of them have never indulged together?
It's been an up-and-down year between Deep Purple fans and the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame -- the band was finally nominated for induction into the Hall, but didn't make it in. Keyboard player Don Airey seems to be taking it all in stride, though; as he put it during a recent interview, "I don't think the band really care, actually."
David Bowie may not have topped this week's Billboard charts, but he's still No. 1 in the U.K. -- and a hot draw at London's Victoria & Albert Museum, where an upcoming Bowie exhibit has already sold tens of thousands of tickets.
