  • The Wu-Tang Clan have announced a string of tour dates in support of the group’s upcoming album, The 8 Diagrams. The eleven-city tour starts next month in Chicago, and finishes in Florida at the end of January, with more shows expected. Full dates after the jump.
  • Less than two weeks after posting its release date on albumsix.com, Weezer have revealed their highly anticipated sixth album will be called Tout Ensemble. Rivers Cuomo previously described the Rick Rubin-produced record as “fresh and experimental” to Rolling Stone.
  • Dr. Jan Adams, the surgeon who operated on Dr. Donda West, walked off of his appearance on Larry King Live, telling King, “I have a tremendous amount of love and respect for the West family. They asked me not to go on. And I’ve said from the very beginning, I don’t have a side in this.” Donda was laid to rest in Oklahoma City yesterday, ten days after passing away. Jay-Z, Beyoncé and John Legend were present alongside Kanye West at the funeral, and Anita Baker performed.
  • Paul Wasserman — who served as publicist for acts including the Rolling Stones, Bob Dylan, the Who, Neil Young and Tom Pettydied at seventy-three of respiratory failure. “Wasso,” as he was called in the industry, was a publicist for four decades, before being jailed in 2000 after pleading guilty to grand theft over selling shares in faulty investment schemes.
  • Punk band Pennywise is partnering with MySpace to release their ninth album. Fans of the band who “friend” the account of mobile-music distributor Textango will be able to download the entire album for free, in the first attempt of its kind by the social-networking site, which launched a record label two years ago.
