Launch Radio Networks has issued the following report from Bruce Simon:

A new song from ex-PINK FLOYD singer-bassist ROGER WATERS is on the way. It's called 'Hello (I Love You)', and it will be featured in an upcoming movie titled The Last Mimzy. The song, which has nothing to do with THE DOORS hit of the same name, will be released ahead of the film, which will be screened this month at the Sundance Festival in Park City, Utah, and then open on March 23rd.

Waters isn't the only Floyd-man with new music. Over the holidays, singer-guitarist DAVID GILMOUR released a digital single with two live versions of 'Arnold Layne', which was the first single Pink Floyd ever released. One take has Floyd keyboardist Richard Wright on vocals, while the other features DAVID BOWIE. There's also a version of the late Syd Barrett's 'Dark Globe'.

The Last Mimzy is a science-fiction tale about two children who develop amazing powers after discovering a box of other-worldly toys. The movie stars Timothy Hutton, Joely Richardson, and Michael Clarke Duncan.

Launch Radio Networks has issued the following report from Bruce Simon:

LYNYRD SKYNYRD founder and guitarist Gary Rossington won't be on the ship when the band's "Gimme Three Days" fan cruise gets underway tomorrow (Friday, January 5th).

Rossington has been battling pneumonia since Thanksgiving, but it was never diagnosed, and he wound up spending two weeks in intensive care in a hospital.

In addition, he injured his head in a fall that resulted in a concussion, as well as the need for some major dental surgery. Doctors expect Rossington to make a complete recovery, but they've ordered him to stay home until he's no longer weak and has regained his stamina, which could take four to six weeks. To make sure the cruise goes on as planned, Rossington got Nashville-based guitarist and songwriter Pat Buchanan, an old friend of the band, to take his place on the ship.

Rossington's wife Dale, who is one of the backup singers in Lynyrd Skynyrd, will also stay home to care for her husband, and she'll be replaced by fellow backup singer Carol Chase's daughter Raquel Jonsen.

The "Gimme Three Days" cruise, on the Carnival ship Fascination, departs Miami, sails to the Bahamas, then returns on Monday (January 8th). Skynyrd will perform several times while on board, and fans will also get to see .38 SPECIAL, SISTER HAZEL and DRIVN' N' CRYIN',
among many others.
