Bob Dylan‘s former girlfriend, Suze Rotolo, whom he described as “the most erotic thing I’d ever seen,” died Friday after a long illness. She was 67. Best known for introducing him to politics and for being photographed with him on the cover of his second album, 1963′s The Freewheelin’ Bob Dylan, Suze was the inspiration behind a number of his love songs – including “Boots of Spanish Leather,” “Tomorrow Is a Long Time” and “Don’t Think Twice, It’s All Right.” The two lived together for a short time in New York’s Greenwich Village, with Dylan reportedly leaving her for Joan Baez. Following her time with Dylan, Suze, a former singer, went on to become a teacher, painter and book illustrator. Like Dylan, she was also very private and did not speak of her time with him until she sat down for an interview on the 2005 Martin Scorsese documentary on Dylan, No Direction Home.

In 2009, she published her autobiography, A Freewheelin’ Time: A Memoir of Greenwich Village in the Sixties. In it. she wrote that she underwent an illegal abortion with Dylan’s child and that he “had an uncanny ability to complicate the obvious and sanctify the banal — just like a poet.” She also said it wasn’t until months after they started dating that she found out his real name was Robert A. Zimmerman. “I called him Raz now and then, taken from his initials, just because I knew it annoyed him.”

KISS singer-guitarist Paul Stanley will become a father for the fourth time when his wife Erin gives birth to a baby girl in August. This will be their third child following four-year old Colin Michael and two-year old Sarah Brianna. Stanley has a 16-year old son, Evan Shane, from his first marriage.

“There is nothing greater in life than family, and my accomplishments as a father rank at the top of my successes,” says Stanley. “Erin and I are blessed with our expectation of the addition of another princess to our family and a new member of the KISS Army. I may be 59, but the only rocking chair this rocker is getting ready for is the one for my new baby.”

Stanley and Erin were married in 2005. They live in Beverly Hills, California.

Bob Seger will preview his new album today when his cover of Tom Waits‘ “Downtown Train” is released to radio.

Seger has been recording in between rehearsals for his tour, which starts in late March.

Seger has announced three more tour dates — April 26th in Little Rock, Arkansas at the Verizon Arena; April 28th in Tulsa, Oklahoma at the BOK Center; and April 30th at the Toyota Center in Houston.

Queen’s 40th anniversary is now upon us, and the band plans to pull out all the stops to celebrate this historic occasion.

“2011 is an important year for Queen,” said Brian May “and there will be a lot of activity.” Adds Roger Taylor, I can’t believe it’s been that long and that we are still around in such a big way. I’m amazed and grateful!” This yearlong event will be marked by a series of releases, re-releases, special limited-edition items and events around the world.

As the centerpiece in the 40th anniversary celebration, Queen’s entire 15-album studio catalog is being reissued in a series of deluxe editions. Every note is being tweaked, every piece of artwork is being cleaned, freshened up and resourced, wherever necessary, with the legendary Bob Ludwig doing the remastering, working from the original source material. The albums will be released in three waves, staggered over the next year, with the first wave—comprising the first five LPs—coming this spring.

Each studio album will be released in a new two-CD edition, the first containing the updated, remastered original LP, the second disc packed with rarities—and we don’t use the term lightly. Some of these gems have never before seen the light of day, even in crappy bootleg form. To cite a particularly fascinating example, five first-album demos recorded at London’s De Lane Lea Studios in December 1971 were pulled from the only existing copy on the planet—an acetate from May’s personal archives. Not even his bandmates had a copy.

In other anniversary activity, the gallery exhibition “Storm Troopers in Stilettos” opens in London on Feb. 25, with plans in place to tour the exhibit around the world. According to May, this unprecedented event “will highlight in some innovative ways the growth of the ‘Early Queen.’” On April 12, Hollywood will reissue Queen’s debut single, “Keep Yourself Alive” b/w “Son and Daughter,” on seven-inch vinyl in a limited edition coinciding with Record Store Day. And on April 19, the label will issue the band’s Greatest Hits II for the first time in North America. This classic collection includes the rock standards “Under Pressure” and “Radio Ga Ga,” plus many other classics from the second half of Queen’s run, including the worldwide smashes “I Want It All” & “Innuendo.” Additionally, the “Queen on Vinyl” reissue program will be completed this year with the release of the final five studio albums.

Rock AAA) An all-star rock n’ roll cast have been confirmed to appear on a forthcoming tribute album to the late Ronnie James Dio.

His widow and former manager Wendy revealed to Noisecreep that some of rock music’s biggest names have agreed to contribute to the project including Rob Halford (Judas Priest), Glenn Hughes (Deep Purple), Dave Grohl (Foo Fighters), Lemmy Kimister (Motorhead), Alice Cooper, Sebastian Bach (Skid Row) and Chris Jericho (Fozzy).

Apparently Grohl will cover Black Sabbath track ‘Mob Rules’, Halford will put his spin on ‘Long Live Rock N’ Roll’ and Cooper is set to cover a song from the Elf days.

Sebastian Bach was on hand last week at the press conference to announce the details of the 2011 Revolver Golden Gods awards show.

At the press conference, Sebastian was asked if he would ever consider a Skid Row reunion. And that’s when the sparks started flying…

“No, because I don’t base my life in 2011 on, like, 30 years ago,” said Bach. “And I also… I was kicked out of that band. Like, if you worked at Pizza Hut and you got fired, would you be knocking on the door of the Pizza Hut, ‘Please let me back in.’ You’d be, like, ‘F**k Pizza Hut! F**k you!’ I’d be, like, ‘F**k you! You wanna f**king kick me out? Go f**k yourself!’ [Laughs] I’m always perplexed by that. You don’t want me to sing in your band? Kiss my f**king ass! Don’t hurt yourself finding someone that can. [Laughs]“
