Unfriggin' Believable.......... The Who to Resume Tour Without Entwistle Fri Jun 28, 5:13 PM ET story.news.yahoo.com LOS ANGELES (Reuters) - The two surviving members of veteran rock band The Who will carry on with their North American tour despite Thursday's death of the group's bassist, John Entwistle, the group said on Friday. The brief announcement was made in a message posted on the official Web site of lead guitarist and songwriter Pete Townshend ( petetownshend.co.uk). "The band have decided to recommence the tour at the Hollywood Bowl," the message said. "News will be added as it becomes available." Under The Who's original tour schedule, the band was scheduled to play at the Hollywood Bowl in Los Angeles on Monday, July 1. It was not immediately clear if the band would start the tour on that date. Entwistle, a founding Who member regarded as one of the most influential bassists in rock music, was found dead on Thursday in his Las Vegas hotel room, a victim of what was widely believed to have been a heart attack. He was 57. An autopsy was scheduled to be performed by the Clark County coroner in Las Vegas on Friday. Entwistle's death, nearly 25 years after The Who's original drummer, Keith Moon, died of an accidental pill overdose, came on the eve of what was expected to be one of the marquee U.S. concert series of the summer. Townshend, lead singer Roger Daltrey and Entwistle had been slated to launch a three-month, 24-venue tour on Friday in Las Vegas with an ensemble that included drummer Zak Starkey, son of former Beatle Ringo Starr. That show and two others in Los Angeles were canceled within hours of Entwistle's death.

Grateful Dead 'Reunion' Concert OK'd MILWAUKEE (AP) - The Grateful Dead will live again. The Walworth County board voted 5-0 Friday to allow the band to hold a 'reunion' concert Aug. 3-4. Band members include Mickey Hart, Bill Kreutzmann, Phil Lesh and Bob Weir. The late great Jerry Garcia died in 1995. The County Highway Committee initially rejected a concert permit fearing it would cause health, safety and police problems by attracting 200,000 people to a venue that can only hold about 35,000. But the band's promoter, Clear Channel Co., appealed and submitted a new plan with tighter security and emergency procedures. The concert, billed as "Terrapin Station - A Grateful Dead Family Reunion," will be held at the Alpine Valley Music Theatre, about 30 miles from Milwaukee. Both shows are already sold out and Clear Channel promised to launch a campaign to discourage people who don't have tickets from showing up.
