On June 12th, 1957, Jerry Lee Lewis’ single “Whole Lotta Shakin’ Goin’ On” entered the Billboard country and western chart. The next week, the record made its debut on the Billboard pop chart as well.

In 1959, police in New York raided a hospital room where Billie Holiday was being treated for a kidney infection and cirrhosis of the liver. They found an envelope of heroin and charged her with possession.

In 1963, the movie “Cleopatra” made its premiere in New York City. It starred Elizabeth Taylor and Richard Burton.

In 1964, The Zombies held their first recording session.

In 1965, The Rolling Stones released the single “Satisfaction.”

Also in 1965, The Beatles were awarded the M.B.E. — “Most Excellent Order of the British Empire.” Some medal holders were so upset by the choice of recipients that they returned theirs.

In 1979, the New Jersey state legislature adopted Bruce Springsteen’s song “Born to Run” as its unofficial Youth Rock Anthem.

In 1982, about one million people rallied for nuclear disarmament in New York. Several celebrities attended, including Linda Ronstadt, Bruce Springsteen and James Taylor.

In 1989, Graceland opened the Elvis Presley Automobile Museum, an exhibit of 20 of Elvis’ cars.

In 1999, actress Courtney Cox married actor David Arquette in San Francisco.

In 2001, a three-mile stretch of Highway 92 in Hiram, Georgia, was renamed “Travis Tritt Highway.”

Def Leppard guitarist Vivian Campbell has been diagnosed with cancer. Nevertheless, he still plans to tour with the band this summer, even though he will be receiving treatment for Hodgkin’s lymphoma.

“If you’re going to have a cancer, Hodgie’s is the one to have,” the 50-year-old guitarist joked in a statement. “[It] has an over-80% cure rate.” Campbell is already one-third of the way through a six-month chemotherapy scheme and said he is “feeling rather spiffy, all things considered”.

Luckily for Campbell, his doctors found the cancer early. A persistent cough sent an “alarm call”, leading to x-rays and CT scans. “[These] revealed that enlarged lymph nodes were doing wrestling manoeuvres on my windpipe,” Campbell said. “I underwent a surgical biopsy on 11 March, the first day of Leppard rehearsals for our Viva Las Vegas shows. Obviously, I didn’t make it to rehearsal that day, but it’s OK; I know the songs by now.”

Although chemotherapy means Campbell has lost his hair – he refers to it as his “new, aerodynamic hairstyle” – the guitarist plans to join his bandmates when they launch their tour on 21 June. He will also be performing with the original members of Dio for four shows in August. A member of Def Leppard since 1992 – when he was drafted in to replace Steve Clark, who died the previous year – Campbell was Dio’s founding guitarist, as well as having played with Whitesnake, Thin Lizzy and Riverdogs.

Earlier this year, Def Leppard announced plans to re-record their entire discography in protest at what they felt to be insufficient royalties from digital sales from their long-term label, Universal.

(AP) — The Xbox 360 is getting a makeover.

Microsoft Corp. kicked off its Electronic Entertainment Expo presentation Monday by unveiling a new Xbox 360 with a design inspired by its upcoming next-generation Xbox One console.

Yusuf Mehdi, Microsoft’s vice president of marketing and strategy, says the updated Xbox 360 is “smaller, sleeker and as quiet as ever.” Mehdi added it would be available beginning Monday.

Microsoft boasted that hundreds of new games are still coming to Xbox 360, which was originally released eight years ago as the high-definition successor to the Xbox. The gaming console has outsold rivals from Nintendo and Sony for the past two years.

Microsoft debuted the Xbox One console earlier this year at its headquarters in Remond, Wash. It’s set for release later this year.
