A second man has reportedly been found dead near the site of the V Festival in Chelmsford, England, according to NME. A 39 year-old was found yesterday in the backyard of a house after a private party near the festival. Early examinations show the man died of head injuries. The police have arrested 10 men between the ages of 23 and 35 on suspicion of murder.

Police have also identified the 22-year old who was found dead earlier at the V Festival. Timothy Brockhurst was discovered unresponsive and not breathing inside a tent at 1 a.m. yesterday morning. Foul play is not suspected in his death.

LMFAO, the Killers, David Guetta, Snow Patrol and the Stone Roses were among the performers at the V Festival. Nicki Minaj withdrew due to strained vocal chords. Frank Ocean was also set to perform, but the singer has canceled many European dates, including his tour with Coldplay

“More Than a Feeling”

Boston | 1976

Boston mastermind Tom Scholz was as surprised by anyone when he sent his unsolicited demo to record labels and got back a positive response. Scholz said, “I couldn’t believe it. Nobody knew who we were, so I wouldn’t even say we were struggling. It was groveling.” Part of the credit for the interest must go to the anthemic rock number "More Than a Feeling." Inspired by the Left Banke's 1966 hit "Walk Away Renee," Scholz worked on the song for five years in his basement studio before it was released on this album.
