How Many Band T-Shirts Do You Currently Own?

And 10% say they own a shirt from an artist they've never listened to.
Here are more poll results:

Eddie Van Halen's Family Ordered Pizza in His Hospital Room After He Died
When Eddie Van Halen died, he was surrounded by his ex-wife Valerie Bertinelli, their son Wolfgang, Eddie's brother Alex, and Alex's two sons.
And also PIZZA . . . which they ordered after he passed.
Valerie says, quote, "I forget who suggested it, but we were like, 'Should we have pizza?' Because he couldn't eat, and the last thing Ed really wanted was pizza.
"He loved pizza and burritos, so we had pizza in his hospital room. I hope people don't think that's morbid."

Tom Morello Joins Bruce Springsteen At L.A. Show
In a big reunion, former E Street Band touring member Tom Morello shared the stage once again with Bruce Springsteen at the Kia Forum in Inglewood, California, Sunday night. Igniting the crowd with renditions of "The Ghost of Tom Joad" and "American Skin (41 Shots)," the performance marked a triumphant return for both songs, as well as both musicians performing together. Morello and Springsteen's collab dates back 16 years, with Morello's contributions to the albums "Wrecking Ball" and "High Hopes."
Meanwhile, Springsteen’s 2021 cover of AC/DC's "Highway to Hell" on Morello's solo album, "The Atlas Underground Fire," stands as a testament to their passion to rock 'n' roll excellence. With tour dates all over North America, the UK, and Europe, Springsteen and the E Street Band continue to captivate audiences as well as solidify a friendship between Bruce and Tom.
