Former Motorhead guitarist dies at 61

Former Motorhead guitarist Michael "Wurzel" Burston had died at the age of 61. The rocker joined Motorhead in 1984 and played with the band for 11 years, appearing on six studio albums. His "Wurzel"  nickname stemmed from his resemblance to the fictional character Worzel Gummidge. After he left Motorhead, Burston played for several other punk and metal bands, including WVKEAF and Disgust. He reunited with his former bandmates in 2009, joining them for a gig at London's Hammersmith Apollo, where they performed their classic song "Ace of Spades" together. Burston reportedly died of ventricular fibrillation, caused by cardiomyopathy, better known as heart disease.

Jones Arrested Again

Bengals cornerback Adam ''Pacman'' Jones was arrested Sunday in Cincinnati on misdemeanor charges of disorderly conduct while intoxicated and resisting arrest, adding to the list of off-the-field troubles that have marred his career. The 27-year-old Jones was jailed around 3 a.m. and released later in the morning. Cincinnati media outlets reported documents filed in court accuse Jones of being disorderly and shouting profanities in a downtown bar and trying to pull away as officers arrested him. Jones denied the allegations in an interview with WCPO-TV after leaving jail. ''I just had surgery, so why would I be resisting arrest?'' said Jones, who was wearing a neck brace. He's been recovering from a neck injury last fall that required surgery, but he was expecting to play this year. He said he hadn't been drinking and was out with his wife to celebrate her birthday.''It's ridiculous, man,'' he told the TV station. ''I keep on going through the same thing, and it don't make no sense.'' He also apologized to his fans and said he loves Cincinnati. Jones, who was Tennessee's first-round pick in 2005, has repeatedly had troubles away from football, including at least six other arrests and a dozen instances that involved police intervention. He was suspended for the 2007 season with the Titans, then signed by Dallas, where he was suspended for six games the following year for an alcohol-related scuffle. He sat out for a year before signing a two-year deal with Cincinnati in May 2010. A Bengals spokesman said the team had no comment on the most recent arrest. The team is prohibited from having contact with Jones because of the NFL lockout.
