Lamb Of God frontman Randy Blythe has been released from prison in the Czech Republic and is headed home to Richmond, Virginia, reports Richmond's WTVR CBS 6. The band's manager, Larry Mazor, confirmed to the news channel that Blythe has been released on bond.

Blythe had been held in a Czech prison since June over suspicion of manslaughter, stemming from a May 24th, 2010 incident in Prague when a fan who had repeatedly come onstage was pushed, fell and eventually died.

“I'm Yours”

Jason Mraz | 2008

Jason Mraz re-emerged after his disappointing second album with this lead single, a Jack Johnson-esque ditty about giving yourself fully to someone else. The success of the reggae-tinged song (it earned two Grammy nods and a spot on the Billboard singles chart for well over a year) was something the folk-pop singer never predicted when he wrote it in 15 minutes at home. "I played a happy-hippie chord progression that would probably work without 50 different Bob Marley songs," he told Rolling Stone. "I thought, 'It's too novelty. This is a nursery rhyme,'" concluding that "you can never guess what's gonna be a hit."
