LAYNE STALEY´S DAY...
The iconic lead singer of Alice in Chains
Layne Staley would have turned 57 on August 22, 2024. Layne's powerful voice, haunting lyrics and heartfelt singing style created the perfect sound for a genre that defined a new music taste for a generation worldwide.
As I look back on his life and career, it's clear that Layne Staley was more than just a musician or rock star; he was true to himself, a talented visual artist and for the most part a sweet human being who poured his heart and soul into his work.
The music of Alice in Chains addressed the challenges many people encountered, and Layne Staley's candidness about his personal struggles, opened a genuine door that deeply connected with the audience.
Aside from Alice In Chains, Layne Staley's talent and passion for music also led him to create his own music project Mad Season, joining forces with Mike McCready of Pearl Jam, Barrett Martin of Screaming Trees, and John Baker Saunders of The Walkabouts. Mad Season was a project that allowed Staley to explore different musical fields to express himself in new ways.
He also incurred into a notable collaboration with Class of ´99 for the soundtrack of the science fiction movie The Faculty. The band was formed by members of prestigious bands cited as follows: Layne Staley of Alice In Chains, Tom Morello of Rage Against the Machine, Stephen Perkins of Jane´s Addiction, Martyn Le Noble of Porno for Pyros and Matt Serletic of Collective Soul. The five members contributed to cover Pink Floyd´s Another Brick in the Wall (Part I and Part II).
Through these associations and more, Layne Staley left an enormous mark on the music world, not only with his performances with Alice in Chains but also with his work in other projects that highlight his talent, creativity, songwriting and singing style right to the top.
Despite his untimely passing on April 5th, 2002, Layne Staley's legacy continues to inspire artists and fans around the globe.
Happy Birthday Layne! You're greatly missed.

R.I.P ALAIN DELON
French Actor Alain Delon passed away at the age of 88.
Alain Delon's journey in the film industry began in the late 1950s, and he quickly rose to prominence with his striking looks and remarkable talent. He became a symbol of the French New Wave, working with esteemed directors like Luchino Visconti and Jean-Pierre Melville. His performances in films such as "Rocco and His Brothers" (1960) and "The Leopard" (1963) cemented his status as a cinematic legend.
Delon's versatility as an actor was evident in his diverse range of roles, from the philosophical hitman in "Le Samouraï" (1967) to his turn as a romantic lead opposite Romy Schneider in "La Piscine" (1969). His ability to portray complex characters with depth and nuance won him critical acclaim and a devoted international following.
Also known for speaking his mind, and leading him sometimes to controversial opinions, he never shied away from expressing his views and sentiments. Aside from controversies, Delon's contributions to cinema were recognized with numerous awards, including a Palme d'Or at the Cannes Film Festival in 2019.
His legacy will continue to inspire actors and filmmakers for generations to come. The French President Emmanuel Macron paid tribute to Delon, calling him "a French monument" and "more than a star."
Alain Delon's passing is a poignant reminder of the transient nature of life and the enduring power of art. R.I.P Alain Delon.

"I'M TIRED AND EVERYTHING HURTS"
HATS OFF GENTLEMEN IT'S ADEQUATE
NEW SINGLE RELEASED
In his own words Malcolm Galloway
"A Must Read"
"This song is about the experience of wanting to be honest when asked how I am, while also being aware that in many social situations it isn't the one thing to actually say how you feel. This is a frequent problem for someone with an invisible disability that causes chronic pain".
"It mostly affects my spine, but also causes recurrent vomiting, chronic pain, unpredictable flare-ups in many joints, intermittent brain fog, and problems with the autonomic nervous system and peripheral nerves. Although some people with this group of conditions use a wheelchair, for me is an invisible disability, as although my life is greatly influenced by chronic pain, leading to me having to retire from my career as a consultant neuropathologist (hospital doctor), to most people most of the time I don't look visibly disabled".
The title of the song's been inspired by a Newsthump T-shirt. "I'm tired and everything hurts" is the seventh album of the band titled "The Light Of Ancient Mistakes" which was released on September 9th, 2023.
"I'm tired and everything hurts" sales will be donated to the Ehlers-Danlos Society to help with their work in research relating to the Ehlers-Danlos Syndrome.
