Eloy Casagrande suddenly quits Sepultura

Perhaps surprisingly, drummer Eloy Casagrande has quit Sepultura, just after the band announced that 2024/5 will be their last period as an active band. Casagrande had been drumming for the band for about 13 years. Suicidal Tendencies drummer Greyson Nekrutman will be with the band for their final treks. While Casagrande did not issue a statement, Sepultura did: "The Celebrating Life Through Death tour, a farewell tour over the next 18 months that will celebrate the band's 40th anniversary and also its farewell to the stage. Beginning of December the group clearly defined the intention at the announcement, it is a 'conscious and planned death.' As poetic as it sounds, a tour of this magnitude took nearly of year of preparing and planning which would require a lot commitment, ethics and loyalty to their fans, as well as respecting for the band's history – something that is a clear priority to Andreas Kisser, Derrick Green and Paulo Xisto. However, on February 6th a few days prior to the first rehearsal, drummer Eloy Casagrande informed the band that he was leaving Sepultura to pursue a career in another project. The band were taken by surprise, without prior warning, he immediately left the band, abandoning everything related to Sepultura. Luckily american virtuoso Greyson Nekrutman will take the postion of Eloy Casagrande and is welcomed as the band's new drummer for the Celebrating Life Through Death farewell tour. "

Two men convicted of killing Jam Master Jay

As you know, Jam Master Jay or Run-DMC was killed in 2002 with little progress being made in the investigation for years. Then, in 2020, Karl Jordan Jr., also known as "Little D" and "Noid," and Ronald Washington, also known as "Tinard," were charged with murder. At the time, the police described the killing as a drug deal gone bad. Earlier this week, both defendants were found guilty of murder. Each Defendant will be sentenced later this year, with the minimum sentence to be 20 years. The defendants may also be sentenced to death. U.S.Attorney Breon Pearce issued a statement: "“It's no mystery why it took years to indict and arrest the defendants. The witnesses in the recording studio knew the killers, and they were terrified that they would be retaliated against if they cooperated with law enforcement and identified the ruthless executioners of Mr. Mizell," Peace said, "but their strength and resolve in testifying at this trial were a triumph of right over wrong and courage over fear. We cannot and should not accept the victimization and killing of members of our communities.”
