August 12, 1997 12:00 AM ET

Last week, JAMtv reported a possible cancer scare for former Beatle George Harrision. Geoff Baker, Harrison's spokesman, said that the whole scare was completely fabricated by London's Daily News and in fact, the lumps found on Harrison's throat were just lumps.

The bothersome nodes have been successfully removed and Harrison is reportedly doing fine.

“The Pretender”

Foo Fighters | 2007

This song wasn't part of the planned track listing for 2007's Echoes, Silence, Patience & Grace, and was put together in a day. "It happened after we recorded a lot of stuff," said Dave Grohl. Yet it ended up as the album opener and the lead single. Grohl called it "a stomping Foo Fighters uptempo song with a little bit of Chuck Berry in it." The singer hinted at the lyrics' political overtones: "Everyone's been f---ed over before and I think a lot of people feel f---ed over right now and they're not getting what they were promised."
