Frontman Steven Tyler is still a part of Aerosmith, according to guitarist Joe Perry, even though the band is looking for a new singer. "Steven hasn't quit the band, nor have we sacked him," Perry told the U.K.'s Classic Rock magazine. "We're taking the attitude that he's going on a vacation from Aerosmith." "How long will (sic) Steven be away? He says it'll be two years, but I believe he'll be back a lot sooner," Perry said.

"How long will (sic) Steven be away? He says it'll be two years, but I believe he'll be back a lot sooner," Perry said. "It may end up that we only do 10 shows with the new person."

Last year, Tyler announced that he would take a two-year hiatus from the band to pursue a solo career, leaving Perry and the rest to look for another singer. He has since entered drug rehab for a pain killer problem.

Tyler, 61, has been with Aerosmith since it formed in 1970.

The Who rocked the Super Bowl halftime show in Miami on Sunday, treating a packed Sun Life Stadium to a medley of their greatest hits. Backed by drummer Zak Starkey and bassist Pino Palladino - in addition to keyboard player John "Rabbit" Bundrick and Simon Townshend on guitar - surviving original members Pete Townshend and Roger Daltrey kicked off the performance with a quick take on "Pinball Wizard" before ripping through "Baba O'Riley."

The group tore through their blistering set surrounded by an elaborate light show featuring green lasers, flashing strobe lights and fireworks. The Who also played brief versions of "Who Are You" and "See Me, Feel Me," before launching into their 1971 anthem, "Won't Get Fooled Again."

Despite the energetic performance, Daltrey was a bit disappointed with the outcome.

"It didn't even feel like a concert," he told ESPN. "It's a television show. And what can you do in 12 minutes?"

"I thought it went OK," Daltrey added. "I understand. It's a TV show. Cameras were everywhere. I was so blinded that I couldn't see."

Former Oasis guitarist Noel Gallagher is planning on traveling to Toronto in order to testify against Daniel Sullivan, the man who attacked him onstage during the band's performance at the Virgin Music Festival in September 2008. Gallagher was left with three broken ribs after Sullivan, who was drunk at the time, rushed the stage. The guitarist then fell onto monitors and was badly injured, which forced Oasis to cancel their following five tour dates.

Former Oasis guitarist Noel Gallagher is planning on traveling to Toronto in order to testify against Daniel Sullivan, the man who attacked him onstage during the band's performance at the Virgin Music Festival in September 2008.

Gallagher was left with three broken ribs after Sullivan, who was drunk at the time, rushed the stage. The guitarist then fell onto monitors and was badly injured, which forced Oasis to cancel their following five tour dates.

The Crown requested that the trial be delayed in order to allow Gallagher sufficient time to attend, according to the Globe and Mail, a request that the judge granted.

The decision to prolong the trial was contested by defense lawyer John Collins.

"Mr. Sullivan has had this like an albatross around his neck for one and a half years," he said. "He and his family have suffered difficult and emotional distress."

Sullivan has already pleaded guilty to assault causing bodily harm.

"I'm finally getting to the point where I can make the kind of records that I want to make -- that I wanted to make when I was younger, things that I dreamed about making. It's this fusion-y kind of thing where all the elements of the music that I love are there," Flying Lotus told Pitchfork.

Erykah Badu, Thundercat and Laura Darlington will also make appearances on Cosmogramma, which is set to be released on April 20 through Warp.

Meanwhile, Radiohead has reportedly finished work on their new album, according to AOL's Spinner. The band again chose to work with longtime producer Nigel Godrich on the project.

AC/DC frontman Brian Johnson thinks that doing charity work is great, but feels that you shouldn't preach about it every chance you get, like Bob Geldof and U2's Bono have a habit of doing. "When I was a working man, I didn't want to go to a concert for some bastard to talk down to me that I should be thinking of some kid in Africa," Johnson told Australia's Herald Sun. "I'm sorry, mate, do it yourself, spend some of your own money and get it done."

Johnson then turned his attention to Geldof.

"Bob Geldof is a canny lad," Johnson continued. "He did what he thought was right at the time but it didn't work. The money didn't go to poor people. It makes me mad when people try to use politics or charity for publicity."

Johnson and his band have stayed away from the charity spotlight ever since 1985's Live Aid benefit concert. He says that while AC/DC is not against performing at charity shows, he just wouldn't want it to be on a worldwide stage.
