In a recent interview with Led Zeppelin singer Robert Plant, he has revealed that drummer John Bonham's wife didn't like the pair spending time together. Pat Bonham thought Plant was a bad influence on her husband – and went as far as banning him from spending recreational time with the frontman. Preparing to tour with the new lineup of his Band of Joy, the singer says: "Pat wouldn't let me anywhere near John – it meant financial doom and distress on all levels. "In her Black Country accent she'd say to Bonham: 'Don't go near Planty – it's all going to go boobs-up'." Robert Plant is getting ready to release his self Titled "Band Of Joy" album, September 13th.

Things just keep getting worse for SUM 41! According to a Facebook status update made last night, singer Deryk Whibley had an unfortunate run-in with a few people who could charitably be described as wastes of potential donor organs. "Deryck Whibley was attacked in a bar last night by 3 unknown people. He is in the hospital now. Japanese police are looking into the matter," the first post read. It was followed up a few hours later with: "It is unfortunate to say, but Deryck Whibley is still in the hospital. He was attacked late last night in Japan. We are waiting for results and we are hoping for the best. Thanks for your support." This is just the latest in a series of bad luck incidents for the singer. Earlier this week, Sum 41 were forced to cancel three dates on the Vans Warped Tour due to Whibley contracting "a serious case of bronchitis." The band have also been forced to deal with the hurricane , drunk bus drivers — not to mention Whibley's ex-wife, Avril hooking up with Brody Jenner, Which is kind of like losing your lady to a walking case of std's.
