Cornell’s team wrote on social media about the cover, “His birthday seemed the perfect time to share this and celebrate Chris, his voice, music, stories and art. It is true a man is not dead while his name is still spoken… and, through his art, an artist’s soul still burns just as bright as ever upon all those that look up to him and his memory.

X-Men, MacGyver Star Lucas Till Shares That Abuse From Showrunner Peter Leknov Made Him “Suicidal”

MacGyver star Lucas Till says the series’ former showrunner Peter Lenkov created a hostile work environment, which drove him to become “suicidal” during the first season of the CBS drama. In a new Vanity Fair piece, Till detailed Lenkov’s alleged toxic behavior that reportedly led to his ousting from CBS’ MacGyver, Hawaii Five-0, and Magnum P.I. earlier this month. Till claimed Lenkov drove him to his “breaking point” through bullying and verbal abuse that included body-shaming. Till told the outlet, “I’ve never worked this hard in my life, and I am fine with hard work. But the way Peter treats people is just unacceptable. I was suicidal that first year on the show because of the way he made me feel. But the way he’s treated the people around me — that’s just my breaking point.”

The actor says he approached top CBS executives multiple times about Lenkov’s alleged behavior toward him and others who worked on the show. Till said that he thought H.R. “just took it as some crazy actor trying to get more money. Essentially, they didn’t take it seriously.” But a source with knowledge of the situation tells Vanity Fair that Till’s comments sparked an H.R. investigation that led to Lenkov’s firing.

Earlier this month, Lenkov was fired from all three shows amid allegations that he was a toxic leader on and off the set. One of Lenkov’s lawyers, Dale Kinsella, says that Till’s allegations are “100 percent false and untrue” and that Lenkov “has championed him from the very beginning and has been nothing but supportive of him.”

MacGyver is set to return for season 5 this fall, and Magnum P.I. will return for season 3. Hawaii Five-0 aired its series finale back in April.

Slash Writes Forward For New Book From Megadeth’s Dave Mustaine “Rust in Peace”

Guns N’ Roses legend Slash has penned the forward for the forthcoming book from Megadeth’s Dave Mustaine “Rust In Peace: The Inside Story Of The Megadeth Masterpiece”. The book is set for release September 8th. 

According to a synopsis: “‘Rust In Peace: The Inside Story Of The Megadeth Masterpiece‘ details the making of Megadeth’s iconic record ‘Rust In Peace’, which was released in 1990, at an incredible time of flux and creativity in the rock world.

“Relayed by Mustaine, the book covers the process of hiring the band and supporting cast, of trying to handle the ensuing success, and ultimately the pressure of fame and fortune-which caused the band to finally break-up. In short, it’s a true story of groundbreaking anti-pop that was moving toward the mainstream (or the mainstream that was moving toward the band), at a time of great cultural change, power, ego, drugs, and other vices that went hand-in-hand with rock and roll, circa the late eighties-early nineties.

Rust in Peace: The Inside Story Of The Megadeth Masterpiece can be pre-ordered here.
