  Ivan Moody, who announced just weeks ago that he was retiring after the next Five Finger Death Punch record, has changed his mind. “I really sat back the last few days and took it all in. And I first off want to apologize because music’s all I’ve got,” Moody said in an announcement video online. “My bandmates deserve better. I ain’t going anywhere. Maybe I was a little bit impulsive…I hope you all will forgive me.”

   

• Why King Diamond Had to Change His Singing Technique

  In a recent interview with Metal Injection, King Diamond talked about how heart surgeries forced him to change his singing and led to a scary moment at a Volbeat show.

  “About five months after the surgery I had discovered that the metal rods had not completely fused with my rib cage to hold it together and it started shaking inside my chest. I thought I was dying,” said Diamond, who found that a year later the rods had fused properly to a point where he could join Metallica on stage for one of their 30th anniversary shows. On the plus side, Diamond said post-surgery he has a greater lung capacity which forced him to change his technique on the spot.

   

• Bruce Dickinson Addresses Marijuana Use

  Video of Iron Maiden’s September 21st show in Anaheim, California surfaced last week where lead singer Bruce Dickinson makes his stance on marijuana use quite clear.

  “Poor old Steve. I don’t know if you know, but he absolutely hates marijuana and the smell of it, alright? So, when he’s trying to play bass, it f—s him up. It f—s me up,” Dickinson said, referring to bass player Steve Harris. “If you want to go get completely stoned out of your mind, go out the back and do it. Alright?” Meanwhile, the next night at that same venue Dickinson ended up dragging a fan off stage who made it past security so it sounds like he’s having a great tour experience.
