An all-star lineup of artists have joined forces for a cover of Tom Petty’s “I Won’t Back Down”. Blake Shelton handles the vocals along with Eagles greats Joe Walsh and Timothy B. Schmit and former Guns N’ Roses drummer Matt Sorum. The song was recorded to support The Miraculous Love Kids, a non-profit organization.

In the History of Rock in 1974 – The Eagles’ “Best Of My Love” was released. It will become the first of their five U.S. number one singles.
In 1999 – Elton John was blasted by the Boy Scout Association after he appeared on stage at London’s Albert Hall performing “It’s A Sin” with six male dancers dressed as Boy Scouts on the stage.
And in 2006 – The sale of Syd Barrett’s final belongings were sold at auction. The sale of the 77 items raised $233,786. The sale included such things as the armchair he used to sit in, his home-made bread bin, tools, notebooks and binders and books. The sale catalogue described Barrett - who quit Pink Floyd in 1968 - as a man with a “total disinterest in materialism.”
