In a new interview with Portugal's Caminhos Metálicos, Hansi Kürsch of German metallers BLIND GUARDIAN spoke about the band's plans for the rest of 2024 and early 2025. He said (as transcribed by BLABBERMOUTH.NET): "Yeah, '25 we are considering at the moment. '24, from the planning, is over. So, we are going to finish the festivals in August, and there are some more in Germany after we play Portugal. And after that there's a break, basically. And hopefully that will take us to at least May '25 until we start considering playing live again. Then, of course, we have to come up with a different set of songs in comparison to what we did this year, always keeping in mind that we play the classical stuff. There is no need for us not to play 'The Bard's Song'. And, yeah, then, of course, it is very essential for us to come up with a regular new album. I doubt that we are able to finish everything in '25, when we do touring as well. But these are different times, and we may just pop out a few songs before we even release an album. But eventually, at one point, there will be new BLIND GUARDIAN music, and that is not too far away."

From the outside, it looks like Journey are among classic rock’s most indestructible battleships. Iconic howler Steve Perry hasn’t been in the band since 1998, and they haven’t hard a chart hit since two years before that. Still, “Don’t Stop Believin'” keeps going through revival after revival, and Journey can continue to headline arenas, no matter who’s in the current lineup. But Journey do have one crucial problem: The two longtime guitarists who can’t stop suing each other over access to the band’s credit card. If that happens enough times, it’ll inevitably interfere with your touring plans.

Actor Buddy Ebsen, who died at age 95 in 2003, found fame by starring in two of the most popular classic television shows in history: The Beverly Hillbillies (CBS, 1962 to 1971) and Barnaby Jones (CBS, 1973 to 1980).
