It was 2015 when Eric Church surprised everyone – including most of the people at his record label – by dropping a new album called Mr. Misunderstood, first to his fan club, The Church Choir, and then to the rest of us. It has been three long years that we’ve worn that album out while patiently waiting for more new music, because, let’s face it, you can never have too much new Eric Church music, am I right?

If you missed his live announcement this morning, you can see it (or, if you didn’t miss it, you can re-live it) here.

He’s BACK. The new album, Desperate Man, is coming October 5th, and the title track is coming to Slacker Radio tomorrow. I’ve heard it, and it is everything we’ve been waiting for and more. It’s so good! Listen for it on Slacker’s Nashville Now station, and as the featured New Music First on the Weekly Country Countdown.

You’re welcome!

Remember when Dave Grohl broke his leg during a Foo Fighters set and had that massive throne made so he could sit and perform for the rest of the tour? And then Dave let Axl Rose borrow it when Axl fell off stage during a Guns and Roses set?

Now Del The Funky Homosapien is the latest to join the nasty stage fall club.

Gorillaz pulled the plug on their set in Germany after Del bailed hard. Poor guy was mid-verse and walked straight off the stage. Good news is, he's going to be okay. Del wrote on twitter, "Thank you all for the love! I'm doing alright but will be in the hospital for a bit, the care here is outstanding though. Much love to @gorillaz for having me out and I'll be back soon yall."

We might need to invest in some ball pits surrounding the stage bc that sh*t is scary.
