News Roundup: Incubus Going On Hiatus, Lamb Of God Frontman Released And More

This week, frontman Randy Blythe was let go on a hefty bail of $400,000. He’s not off the hook though because police are still investigating the incident that left a man dead at a Lamb of God show. Incubus announced that once their Honda Civic tour ends, they’ll be going back on hiatus. However, singer Brandon Boyd may have a solo album in the works, so it’s not all bad. All that and more below.

Incubus Going On Hiatus After Tour: Incubus told Billboard that they have no plans for the future. Once the band wraps up their Honda Civic Tour with Linkin Park and Mutemath, they’ll be focusing on nothing. Brandon Boyd said he’s been playing around with another solo album and that’s basically all he sees happening right now. “As far as Incubus right now, we’ll probably take another break. Hopefully it won’t be as long, but what we’d like to do is arrive with the best intentions and try to create music from a sense of urgency as well as purity and not necessarily based on a schedule.” Boyd knows that this can be tough on fans, but he believes it’s the right thing to do.
