Briefly: Queens of the Stone Age, White Stripes, Justin Jeffre, Goat, Donna the Buffalo
Mark Lanegan has departed the current Queens of the Stone Age tour, which will carry on as scheduled.
According to a message on the band's official website, he exited the tour due to exhaustion.
"The band would like to wish a speedy recovery, so that he can return back [to] the Queens circus ASAP," the message reads.
A new, as-yet-untitled album from The White Stripes is due in stores June 14. The first single is titled "Blue Orchid."
Justin Jeffre, formerly of the boy band 98 Degrees , is running for mayor of Cincinnati, according to published reports.
There's a tie-in: he reportedly hopes to turn his campaign into a VH1 reality series.
New York singer-songwriter Goat will release his sophomore album, "All of My Friends," on June 28. A tour will follow, according to a press release.
Roots-rock act Donna the Buffalo is set to drop "Life's a Ride," its first studio album in five years, on April 26.
