Liner Notes (January 17)

News on Glenn Frey, Paul McCartney and Brian Wilson make up the January 17 edition of “Liner Notes.”  Enjoy!

Cindy Frey, the widow of Glenn Frey, has filed a wrongful death lawsuit against Mount Sinai Hospital and gastroenterologist Steven Itzkowitz.

Per Rolling Stone, Cindy Frey is citing “negligence and failing to properly treat and diagnose” Glenn Frey properly.  She is seeking unspecified damages for “pain and suffering, wrongful death and the loss of services of a spouse.”

Muse’s Matt Bellamy is part of a fun supergroup called Dr. Pepper’s Jaded Hearts Club Band, which is made up of other famous rock stars, and they sing covers of Beatles tunes.  So, imagine the audience's surprise when an actual Beatle performs with them.

They result was captured and shared on Bellamy’s Instagram and see the Muse frontman take on bass duties while Muse’s Dom Howard is on drums, and Paul McCartney sharing vocals.

Finally, and on a positively hilarious note, Brian Wilson received a unique honor from his alma mater Hawthorne High School.

When Wilson was a student, he received an “F” on a music composition assignment.  The composition he submitted was actually of the hit “Surfin.’”  So, cut to 2018, and the school righted this wrong and awarded Wilson with an “A.”  How cool is that?!
