Tuesday Rock Roundup
Rod Stewart has reportedly cut a deal to write his autobiography. According to the London tabloid The Sunday Express, the rocker-turned-crooner will get a seven-figure guarantee from the British branch of Harper Collins to share his life story. It's expected to be a tell-all book, detailing his rise to fame with The Jeff Beck Group and The Faces, solo superstardom and romances with a series of starlets, supermodels, and other women that has caused a lot of guys to just not like him anymore.
Bruce Springsteen and the E Street Band welcomed a special guest on stage Sunday night during their show in Dallas -- fellow Jersey Shore resident Jon Bon Jovi. Springsteen and Bon Jovi traded verses on "Glory Days," which Springsteen introduced as "a double shot of Jersey." The guest spot wasn't much of a surprise, as Bon Jovi was set to perform at the same venue, the American Airlines Center, last night.
Deep Purple's Ian Gillan, Cream's Jack Bruce and BTO's Randy Bachman have been announced among those taking part in a tribute show to late Canadian blues-rocker Jeff Healey, slated for May 3rd in Toronto. The show will feature rockers and blues acts, while a second show the next day will have a lineup of jazz acts. In addition to sets by James, Bruce, Bachman, Canadian guitar prodigy Colin James, Jeff Healey's Blues Band and Jeff Healey's Jazz Wizards, the tribute will feature another 13 acts.

-Rush usually don't release a live album until they're done with the tour that it documents.

A Snakes and Arrows Live DVD is in the works and will be out in late summer.
