Drummer Norm Rogers has died, a few months after being diagnosed with terminal cancer. Rogers was a founding member of the Jayhawks and Cows, and also worked in recent years as a manager at Brit's Pub.

Although his time in the Jayhawks only lasted a couple of years, Rogers performed on the band's self-titled 1986 debut album. He also played on Cows' best-known album, Cunning Stunts (1992).

Last month, Rogers attended a farewell party held in his honor at Brit's. "My heart is full and I thank so many people for that!" he wrote on a GoFundMe page launched to defray his medical expenses. "I'm surrounded by a loving family, and I've had a helluva life for a lad from small-town Western Minnesota." (Star Tribune)

Talib Kweli cancels show after venue books TAAKE

Talib Kweli has canceled a planned show at the Riot Room in Kansas City, Mo., after learning that the venue has booked a separate performance by the metal band TAAKE. A recently-surfaced image of that band's lead singer features a swastika painted across his chest.

"I find it appalling that The Riot Room refuses to apologize for booking this band," wrote Kweli in a statement. "I wouldn't feel safe bringing my team, family, and fans into a venue that is sympathetic to white nationalism, so I've cancelled the show. It's a shame because I was really looking forward to performing in Kansas City." (Billboard)
