Candlebox Working On New Album, Planning Shows Through 2027
The tradition of the “non-retirement retirement” continues for rockers; Candlebox is not retiring after all. The band announced a farewell tour and "final" album back in 2023, but frontman Kevin Martin says that's no longer the plan. He admits he was ready to quit back then to focus on family, but things changed when he was asked to tour with Bush and Jerry Cantrell. Now original guitarist Peter Klett is back, and the two are working on a new album. The band has rehearsals set for next month and a short spring tour planned, along with shows through 2027, including possible dates in South America and Europe.

R.I.P. Grateful Dead Guitarist Bob Weir
Bob Weir, guitarist and co-founder of the Grateful Dead, has died at the age of 78. There's no word on the exact date, but his family announced his death on Saturday.
They said, Bob, quote, "transitioned peacefully, surrounded by loved ones, after courageously beating cancer as only Bobby could. Unfortunately, he succumbed to underlying lung issues."
Weir formed the Grateful Dead in 1965 with Jerry Garcia, Ron "Pigpen" McKernan, Phil Lesh, and Bill Kreutzmann.
After Garcia's death in 1995, he and other members kept the Dead alive in bands like Phil Lesh and Friends, Further, Rat Dog, Wolf Bros, and most recently, Dead and Company.
Tributes have come in from Bob Dylan, Slash, and others . . . and the Empire State Building was tie-dyed in his honor.
