Nick Lachey swaps pop songs for lullabies Posted: 26 Feb 2013 11:14 PM PST LOS ANGELES (Reuters) - Singer Nick Lachey, a member of U.S. group 98 Degrees, has swapped his boy band heartthrob status to embrace fatherhood in a new album of lullabies dedicated to his baby son. On the cover of A Father's Lullaby, Lachey, 39, is pictured cuddling his son Camden, who was born in September 2012. "When I first learned that I was going to be a father, I was inspired to create a special tribute to my son," Lachey said in a statement on Tuesday. "Creating this album allowed me to further connect with Camden while also sharing the experience with families who are on a similar journey of welcoming a new life into their world," he added. The 12-track album, released in partnership with toy brand Fisher-Price, includes four original songs by the singer, such as title track Father's Lullaby and Sleepy Eyes. A Father's Lullaby will be available to download on iTunes and Amazon from March 13, and in stores in April. Camden is the first child for Lachey and wife Vanessa, who married in July 2011. Lachey was previously married to singer Jessica Simpson from 2002 until their divorce in 2005. Lachey rose to fame in the 1990s with his brother Drew and members Justin Jeffre and Jeff Timmons in boy band 98 Degrees, who were known for top 40 pop chart hits including True To Your Heart and Thank God I Found You. The band went on a hiatus in 2002 and Lachey married Simpson. The couple appeared in their own MTV reality series Newlyweds. Lachey, who recorded two solo albums during the band's hiatus, reunited with his band mates last year and 98 Degrees announced a new album and tour. Their upcoming fourth studio record 2.0 is set to be released in May. The band will be joining fellow 1990s boy bands New Kids on the Block and Boyz II Men on a North American summer tour. |
Allman Brothers Band's guitarist dies Posted: 26 Feb 2013 10:41 PM PST REUTERS - Guitarist Dan Toler, who played in the Allman Brothers Band in the late 1970s and 1980s, has died of Lou Gehrig's disease at his home in Sarasota, Florida, his manager said. Toler died on Monday and was in his early 60s, the manager, Glen Halverson, said. Toler and his late brother, drummer David "Frankie" Toler, played in several groups, including Dickey Betts & Great Southern. Dan Toler was part of the Allman Brothers Band from 1979 to 1982 and was featured on the group's albums Enlightened Rogues, Reach For The Sky and Brothers Of The Road. "His ability to make people laugh and feel good and happy was amazing," the Sarasota Herald Tribune quoted his friend and former bandmate Chaz Trippy as saying. "That smile of his is just a force of life and, God, how he loved playing that guitar." Toler announced in 2011 that he had amyotrophic lateral sclerosis, a degenerative nerve diseased better known as Lou Gehrig's disease. Funeral arrangements were pending, Halverson said. |
