The Roots’ ?uestlove Teams Up With Amy Winehouse

Roots drummer says the supergroup is ‘definitely going to happen.’ By Mawuse Ziegbe ?uestlove Photo: Jeff Fusco/ Getty Images Amy Winehouse will apparently be back in the studio soon — but this time she won’t be alone. According to ?uestlove , the Roots drummer has teamed up with the troubled star to form a supergroup. The influential hip-hop artist revealed in an interview with AOL’s Spinner that the duo is indeed planning to work together. The group is “definitely going to happen,” the drummer said. No name for the group has been confirmed, however, ?uesto disclosed that the singer has been in the lab with producer Salaam Remi, who worked on Winehouse’s breakout album Back to Black . The drummer gushed that the resulting work is “amazing.” While Winehouse has apparently touched base with Remi, ?uesto said that getting face time in the studio with the star has become an issue because of the embattled soul singer’s immigration issues. “It’s just that we have to work overtime to get her visa situation together. The closest she can come to the States is Jamaica.” Static with immigration has reportedly caused the singer to cancel U.S. tour dates in the past. The star also ended up accepting her Grammy Awards via satellite in 2008 due to visa problems. But even if Winehouse can’t make it across the pond, ?uesto said he’ll try to speak with the Grammy-winning star in Europe. “I’ll be in France for four, five days, so I’ll see if she’s up for discussing this over dinner.” In the meantime, the stars are chopping it up over the Internet. “We’ve been Skype-ing the sh– out of each other.” This is not ?uestlove’s first time at the supergroup rodeo. He has also been at the center of the Soulquarians , an evolving collective that has included many of the drummer’s game-changing peers such as Erykah Badu, Common, Mos Def and D’Angelo.

Slipknot Bassist Paul Gray’s Death Still Under Investigation: Police

Medical examiner is awaiting results of toxicology testing, which could take four to six weeks. By MTV News staff Slipknot’s Paul Gray Photo: Barry Brecheisen/WireImage An autopsy of Slipknot bassist Paul Gray, who was found dead in a hotel room on Monday, has revealed no cause of death, police in Urbandale, Illinois, told the Des Moines Register on Tuesday (May 25). The cause of death is still under investigation, and the Polk County Medical Examiner is awaiting the results of toxicology testing, the paper reported. Dr. Gregory Schmunk said it could be four to six weeks before the test results are complete and the cause of death can be determined, according to police. According to the paper, the autopsy did indicate that the body showed no evidence of foul play or trauma, and that Gray had been dead for several hours before his body was discovered. Gray, 38, was better known as #2 or “The Pig” because of the mask he wore while performing with Slipknot, and helped form the group in 1995, along with current members Shawn “Clown” Crahan and Joey Jordison. Though the band’s lineup shifted over the years — with members departing or switching instruments — Gray’s position within the group remained constant: He was the only bass player Slipknot ever had. In the hours since his death, tributes to Gray have poured in from fans and fellow musicians alike. Megadeth bassist David Ellefson , whom Gray was to replace in the supergroup/ cover band Hail!, said in a statement: “I was very shocked and saddened to hear of Paul Gray’s passing. I considered him an incredible songwriter, inventive bassist, but more importantly, a kind and warm friend. As a fellow musician, I was excited that he would be playing in Hail! this coming month, as I knew it would be a fun experience for him. I’m sad that the European audiences will not get to see him play those shows.” Share your memories of Paul Gray and Slipknot in the comments below.
