According to the family, Weir was diagnosed with cancer in July 2025. Despite beginning treatment only weeks earlier, he performed with Dead & Company, the Grateful Dead's latest offshoot, in August during a three-night run at Golden Gate Park celebrating the band's 60th anniversary."It is with profound sadness that we share the passing of Bobby Weir. He transitioned peacefully, surrounded by loved ones, after courageously beating cancer as only Bobby could. Unfortunately, he succumbed to underlying lung issues," the statement read.The family described Weir as a guitarist, vocalist, storyteller and founding member of the Grateful Dead whose "unique artistry reshaped American music." They recalled his six-decade career as one that "built a community, a language, and a feeling of family that generations of fans carry with them." The statement continued: "Every chord he played, every word he sang was an integral part of the stories he wove. There was an invitation: to feel, to question, to wander, and to belong."Weir's final months, the family said, reflected "the same spirit that defined his life." After his diagnosis in July, he "began treatment only weeks before returning to his hometown stage for a three-night celebration of 60 years of music at Golden Gate Park. Those performances, emotional, soulful, and full of light, were not farewells, but gifts. Another act of resilience. An artist choosing, even then, to keep going by his own design."The statement concluded: "There is no final curtain here, not really. Only the sense of someone setting off again. He often spoke of a three-hundred-year legacy, determined to ensure the songbook would endure long after him. May that dream live on through future generations of Dead Heads. And so we send him off the way he sent so many of us on our way: with a farewell that isn't an ending, but a blessing. A reward for a life worth living."Weir is survived by his wife, Natascha, and daughters, Monet and Chloe. The family requested privacy during this time and expressed gratitude for the outpouring of support.Tributes from MusiciansFellow musicians paid tribute to Weir following news of his death."Sad to hear that my friend Bobby has passed on," Phish guitarist and vocalist Trey Anastasio wrote on social media. "This one really hurts. I really loved him. He was a sweet, kind, gentle friend, and I never believed this would happen so soon. ... Thank you for all the gifts you brought into the world, and for all the love you gave to so many of us. Your spirit lives on forever."Billy Idol guitarist Steve Stevens noted Weir's impact on rock music. "Losing Bob Weir is another reminder that all of the founders of the electric rock generation are leaving us. Once they are all gone, it's the end of the guys and girls that fought the good fight," Stevens wrote. "Stood for something other than the almighty dollar. Stood up against war, against racism, against greed. ... There are no fans like Grateful Dead fans. I dedicate this post to not only Bob but you Deadheads out there. Bless you for loving the music."387768roadhouse rock, grateful dead, bob weirblogs/1-2026/387768-roadhouse-rock-grat-s.jpgSammy Hagar, Rick Springfield Announce Six-Date Summer 2026 Tourhttps://www.blackvibes.com/features/blogs/rdhouserockusa-roadhouse-rock-sammy-hagar-rick-springfield-1797581/features/blogs/rdhouserockusa-roadhouse-rock-sammy-hagar-rick-springfield-1797581/Posted by rdhouserockusa0https://www.blackvibes.com/features/blogs/rdhouserockusa-roadhouse-rock-sammy-hagar-rick-springfield-1797581/#commentsMon, 12 Jan 2026 16:33 GMTSammy Hagar and Rick Springfield will team up for a six-date tour this summer, beginning June 13 at the Hollywood Casino Amphitheater in St. Louis. The tour is scheduled to wrap up June 24 at the Xfinity Center in Mansfield, Mass.Hagar's run continues his recent Best of All Worlds tours, which highlight his decade as Van Halen's lead singer. He will be joined by fellow Van Halen alumnus Michael Anthony, guitarist Joe Satriani, and drummer Kenny Aronoff. For this tour, the group will also feature keyboardist Gregg Phillinganes, who will perform in place of Ray Thistlethwayte.Hagar also announced two additional solo dates without Springfield, set for June 26 and 27 at the MGM National Harbor in Oxon Hill, Md.Hagar and Springfield's careers have been intertwined since 1981, when Springfield scored a Top 10 hit with a cover of Hagar's 1978 single, "I've Done Everything for You." Despite the cover's chart success, Springfield said in a 2019 interview that he prefers Hagar's original version: "I may be prettier than you," Springfield told Hagar, "but you've got a way better voice."The two teamed up in 2020 to release a line of rums. In a 2021 interview, Hagar said they had hoped to tour together and had recorded a song titled "Party at the Beach Bar.""It is so badass, I can see it being the theme of a tour for me or him or both of us," Hagar said. "What we really want to do - our managers are good friends, we're good friends, our fans are friends, we have everything in common - I think we're trying to tour together."Tickets go on sale to the general public Friday, Jan. 16, with presales starting Tuesday, Jan. 13.

However, by the early 1990s, the group had begun to unravel.During a recent interview on Billy Corgan's "The Magnificent Others" podcast, Pearcy reflected on his career and said he would make different choices if given the chance."One thousand percent I would've done it differently," Pearcy said. "When I created the band Ratt, I didn't have all the answers. I just created the thing. And there was a lot of my songs. The whole first Ratt EP is all me. I wrote the whole EP except for '[You Think You're] Tough.' I give Robbin [Crosby, guitarist] credit because he was my right-hand man."Pearcy said the band's eventual breakup was due to internal conflicts."It was cool the first few years, with Robbin and me directing the madness," Pearcy said. "Because I followed the Van Halen schematic. My work ethic was, 'We're gonna kick ass. We're gonna look great. We're gonna do this.' Then it wasn't that anymore."By 1992, Crosby was struggling with heroin addiction, and Pearcy frequently clashed with other band members over creative control. Ratt disbanded, though drummer Bobby Blotzer and guitarist Warren DeMartini later continued with other musicians."When you start wanting to do things against the grain, you've got, like, mutiny on the bounty," Pearcy said. "They all went after me and then they all fell. So, you know, I'm the last man standing."Pearcy still performs Ratt's classic material and, in recent years, has been joined onstage by DeMartini. He said he is satisfied with the band's legacy and the enduring popularity of its music."I'm proud of what we did," Pearcy said. "It was crazy, but it was a beautiful thing."387725roadhouse rock, stephen pearcy, ratt, hard rockblogs/1-2026/387725-roadhouse-rock-step-s.jpgFoo Fighters Guitarist Pat Smear Sidelined by Injuryhttps://www.blackvibes.com/features/blogs/rdhouserockusa-roadhouse-rock-foo-fighters-pat-smear-250331/features/blogs/rdhouserockusa-roadhouse-rock-foo-fighters-pat-smear-250331/Posted by rdhouserockusa0https://www.blackvibes.com/features/blogs/rdhouserockusa-roadhouse-rock-foo-fighters-pat-smear-250331/#commentsWed, 7 Jan 2026 15:12 GMTFoo Fighters guitarist Pat Smear will miss several upcoming shows as he recovers from a broken foot, the band announced on Instagram. Jason Falkner, known for his work with Beck and St. Vincent, will fill in during Smear's absence.According to the band, Smear injured his left foot in what they described as a "bizarre gardening accident," resulting in multiple broken bones in his heel."We'll miss our beloved Pat as much as you will, but we want him fully healed and back on his feet as soon as possible," the band said in a statement.Falkner will join the group for its scheduled January performances, which include a Jan. 10 show at Feria Estatal de Le n in Guanajuato, Mexico; a Jan. 14 benefit concert at the Kia Forum in Los Angeles; and a Jan. 24 show at UTAS Stadium in Launceston, Tasmania.Following these dates, Foo Fighters are not scheduled to perform again until May, when they are set to co-headline the Welcome to Rockville festival. The band will then tour throughout Europe and the United States through the summer and early fall. Additional tour dates and ticket information are available on the Foo Fighters' official website.387709roadhouse rock, foo fighters, pat smearblogs/1-2026/387709-roadhouse-rock-foo--s.jpgNikki Sixx Says He Is Prepared to Protect Family From Stalkershttps://www.blackvibes.com/features/blogs/rdhouserockusa-roadhouse-rock-nikki-sixx-motley-crue-1021121/features/blogs/rdhouserockusa-roadhouse-rock-nikki-sixx-motley-crue-1021121/Posted by rdhouserockusa0https://www.blackvibes.com/features/blogs/rdhouserockusa-roadhouse-rock-nikki-sixx-motley-crue-1021121/#commentsTue, 6 Jan 2026 15:19 GMTNikki Sixx says he is ready to protect his family if stalkers threaten their safety.The M tley Cr e bassist addressed the issue after a fan on X asked why he no longer shares photos of his youngest daughter, Ruby, on social media."Because we've been stalked and our family has been threatened multiple times the last few years," Sixx wrote. "Some are in jail now, but Ruby doesn't need to be exposed to millions of people."Sixx said that while most of his fans are "cool," his daughter's safety is his top priority."Ruby is more important to us than posting photos, and from experience, it's proven to not be safe for her. She deserves better," he said.Sixx, 65, said keeping photos of his six-year-old daughter off social media is a way of "protecting her from mentally ill people."When another user suggested he contact law enforcement about stalkers, Sixx responded that he has "strong law enforcement relationships" in his community. He added that he is prepared to take action on his own, if necessary."We also live in Wyoming on private property and we are locked and loaded and know our rights to protect our family," Sixx wrote. "Nothing in my life matters more than my family."Sixx has previously discussed being targeted by stalkers. In 2023, he said he was dealing with a woman from Tennessee who threatened him and his family with bodily harm. At the same time, another person from a different state was also harassing his family. Sixx said the FBI was involved in both cases and legal action was taken.387687Roadhouse Rock, nikki sixx, motley crue, classic rockblogs/1-2026/387687-roadhouse-rock-nikk-s.jpgBilly Joel Makes Triumphant Return with Surprise Performancehttps://www.blackvibes.com/features/blogs/rdhouserockusa-billy-joel-return-florida-1550221/features/blogs/rdhouserockusa-billy-joel-return-florida-1550221/Posted by rdhouserockusa0https://www.blackvibes.com/features/blogs/rdhouserockusa-billy-joel-return-florida-1550221/#commentsTue, 6 Jan 2026 15:04 GMTBilly Joel gave fans in Wellington, Florida, a surprise performance Friday, marking his first public appearance since announcing he has a brain disorder.Joel, 76, performed a two-song set at the Wellington Amphitheater alongside Turnstiles, a Billy Joel tribute band, during the venue's 30th anniversary celebration. Joel was joined onstage by his wife, Alexis Roderick, and their two daughters, Della and Remy.Before performing, Joel asked for permission to use the microphone and then played "We Didn't Start the Fire" and "Big Shot," while his daughters danced nearby. The tribute band had hinted to the audience that a special guest would appear, according to TMZ."I wasn't planning on working tonight," Joel told the crowd, according to the Palm Beach Post.[srr_video url="f4fSjMAzCp4" video="youtube" maxwidth="800px"]The performance was Joel's first since he disclosed in May 2025 that he has normal pressure hydrocephalus, a brain disorder. Following the announcement, he canceled all scheduled concerts to begin physical therapy. His last full concert was in February 2025.Normal pressure hydrocephalus occurs when cerebrospinal fluid builds up in the skull, putting pressure on the brain, according to the Cleveland Clinic. The condition can affect memory, balance, movement and thinking, and is often treated with a surgically implanted shunt to drain excess fluid.In a July interview on Bill Maher's "Club Random" podcast, Joel said he was feeling "okay" but that the condition was ongoing. "It's not fixed," Joel said. "It's still being worked on."Sitting at the piano, Joel said, "I feel fine. My balance sucks. It's like being on a boat. It used to be called 'water on the brain.' Now it's called normal pressure hydrocephalus."387686billy joel, return, florida, 2026, roadhouse rockblogs/1-2026/387686-billy-joel-return--s.jpgDavid Lee Roth Announces 2026 North American Tourhttps://www.blackvibes.com/features/blogs/rdhouserockusa-roadhouse-rock-david-lee-roth-tour-572201/features/blogs/rdhouserockusa-roadhouse-rock-david-lee-roth-tour-572201/Posted by rdhouserockusa0https://www.blackvibes.com/features/blogs/rdhouserockusa-roadhouse-rock-david-lee-roth-tour-572201/#commentsTue, 6 Jan 2026 15:02 GMTDavid Lee Roth, former frontman of Van Halen, has announced a 30-date tour across the United States and Canada.The tour is scheduled to begin April 16 in Airway Heights, Washington, and conclude Aug. 7 in Sturgis, South Dakota.Roth ended a five-year hiatus from performing in May 2025, debuting a new eight-piece band with a four-member group of backing vocalists at the M3 festival."We've reached the end of my first retirement," Roth said during the performance.
