My Morning Jacket has canceled its fall European tour, as frontman Jim James is still recovering from injuries suffered after a stage fall this month in Iowa City, Iowa. "Our hope was to merely postpone the tour, but as our scheduling does not allow that to happen in the immediate future, we feel it is best to cancel this tour in hopes of re-scheduling at some point," the band says in a statement.
The trek was to begin Oct. 29 in Dublin. MMJ's calendar is thus cleared until Dec. 27-28 in Chicago, which will serve as make-up dates for shows postponed in the immediate wake of James' injury.
An indie rock who's who, including Death Cab For Cutie, Ryan Adams, the National, Bright Eyes, Ted Leo, the New Pornographers and Okkervil River, will contribute covers to Merge Records' subscription-only boxed set, "SCORE! The First 20 Years."
The covers album, a remix album with tracks from John McEntire, Battles, Caribou, Kieran Hebden and Junior Boys, a discography cover art book and 14 curated compilations are all part of "SCORE!," which can be ordered via Merge's Web site.
Foo Fighters' June 6-7 shows at London's Wembley Stadium will be chronicled on the aptly named DVD "Live at Wembley Stadium," due Nov. 18 via RCA. Although they are not credited, Led Zeppelin members Jimmy Page and John Paul Jones' guest turns on "Rock and Roll" and "Ramble On" appear on the DVD, sources say.
The gigs drew 165,000 people to Wembley, making them the biggest shows staged at the stadium since it reopened in 2007.
Here is the track list for "Live at Wembley Stadium:
"The Pretender"
"Times Like These"
"No Way Back"
