For those who are disappointed not to have scored a ticket to see the Rolling Stones in 2012, then there is some slight consolation.

A member of rock'n'roll star Jerry Lee Lewis' band was killed in a shootout on Sunday (October 14) in Memphis. Seventy-year-old bass player BB Cunningham was working as a security guard at an apartment complex when he went to investigate a gunshot noise nearby. Witnesses say they then heard further gunshots and Cunningham, along with an unidentified 16-year-old, was found dead at the scene. Police are currently investigating the incident. Judy Baladez, a resident of the apartment buildings told WMCTV:

The Who's Pete Townshend has said he feels "the ghosts" of drummer Keith Moon and bassist John Entwistle onstage. The guitarist, who publishes his long-awaited memoir Who I Am yesterday (October 11), told Rolling Stone that he and singer Roger Daltrey feel the presence of their former band mates.

Pete Townshend has said that writing lyrics for The Who made him realise he needed to undergo therapy. The guitarist, who publishes his long-awaited memoir Who I Am on October 11, told US TV show Today that some of the dark songs he'd written for the band had helped him come to terms with the abuse he suffered as a child.

The 1965 The Rolling Stones documentary Charlie Is My Darling is set to be officially released for the first time. The 50-minute film was shot by Peter Whitehead in September 1965 when the Stones did a two-date tour of Ireland after "(I Can't Get No) Satisfaction" hit the charts. Although bootleg copies have been available, the film was never officially released.

Calexico’s new album, Algiers, is reviewed in the current issue of Uncut (October 2012, Take 185) – so we thought we’d take a trip back to April 2003 (Take 71), when Uncut’s John Mulvey flew out to Tucson, Arizona to discover more about the duo’s redrawing of the alt.country map. __________________________

Three people have been killed and a number of others seriously injured after a coach returning from Bestival overturned after crashing into a tree last night (September 10). The 51-seater coach was going north on the A3 road in Surrey when the crash happened near the Hindhead Tunnel at 11.50pm (BST) last night. According to BBC News, the coach veered off the carriageway between the tunnel and the Thursley exit and hit a tree. No other vehicles were involved in the crash.

As part of our Nick Cave cover story in the current issue of Uncut, I spoke to film maker John Hillcoat. Hillcoat and Cave’s friendship stretches back to Melbourne in the late 1970s, while their first professional collaboration came in 1981, when Hillcoat edited the promo video for The Birthday Party single, “Nick The Stripper”.
