There is some good news and of course bad news for Amy Winehouse. The good news is the diva was re granted her Visa to come back to the U.S. for a possible tour. The bad news is, London Police raided the flat of her and her husband Blake today. No further details have been posted, however, this poses more of a serious threat to her husband than to her.

Thrash art rockers The Blood Brothers are officially calling it quits. After rumors of speculation flying around for months, the band posted this message via their myspace page:
Dear Friends,
After 10 years of making music as The Blood Brothers, we have made the collective decision that our time together has come to an end. We feel extremely fortunate to have spent such a deeply memorable and amazing part of our lives with each other. At this point, however, we feel it's best that our futures move forward on separate paths. We'd like to express our sincerest thanks and gratitude to all the bands we've played with, individuals who have helped us make our records, and fans who have come to our shows and picked up our music throughout the years. Your friendship, support and love hold such a profoundly special place in each of our hearts. We hope that the memories you attach to our music are as fond as those you have given us. Thank you and take care, we'll miss all of you.
Love,The Blood Brothers
