Foo Fighters - Foo Fighter Hawkins Replaces Wilson On Tribute Track

FOO FIGHTERS star TAYLOR HAWKINS is set to take the place of late THE BEACH BOYS drummer DENNIS WILSON on an upcoming commemorative single.

Hawkins will provide vocals for Holy Man, which will feature on an updated version of Wilson's 1977 acclaimed solo album Pacific Ocean Blue, which will be released in the U.S. on 9 June (08).

The single is slated for release on the same day as the reissued double-CD LP, which will act as a tribute to the star, who died in 1983 after drowning at Los Angeles' Marina Del Rey.

And Gregg Jokobson, who co-wrote and co-produced the original album, insists the Foo Fighters drummer was an obvious choice to replace Wilson, because of his similar sounding vocal talents.

He says, "I always said, 'Taylor, you sound just like Dennis.' Taylor is just a natural. He came in, he did the vocal within an hour and I really think he knocked it out of the park."

Amy Winehouse confirmed for Glastonbury

Glastonbury festival organisers have confirmed that Amy Winehouse will be playing at the festival this year.

The star will play a slot on the Pyramid Stage on June 28, directly before Jay-Z's headline slot.

Festival organiser Emily Eavis told BBC Newsbeat that she was confident that Winehouse could be relied on. "I have total faith," she said. "I think she'll come and deliver.

"This is one of the biggest sets of the summer, supporting the most anticipated artist at Glastonbury in the past 38 years."

"I don't know how much [speculation that she is unreliable] is hot air from the press and how much is reality but she is pretty reliable actually. It's her personal life and no-one really knows the extent of what she's up to and I don't think it should be public knowledge.

"We all know she's a brilliant performer and I think that's what we should be focussing on."

A public intro at the annual South by Southwest conference in Austin, TX, and a brief U.S. circuit with Subtraction the Bear and Kuki-Chin Up Kuki Up coincided with its splatter. Prior to Russian Circles, Anne Sullivan and DeKuiper were members of the eclectic instrumental act Dakota/Dakota, whereas Turncrantz produced an emo-punk commotion with Riddle of Steel.
