Maynard James Keenan (Tool, A Perfect Circle, Puscifier) has just undergone total hip replacement surgery. He posted a picture of himself post-surgery:
Didn't want to freak anyone out, wanted to wait until out of the woods. Years of foot stomping left me with no cushion...

In February, Keenan made the following statement about Tool’s writing sessions: "I've been making regular trips to LA to check on the writing progress of my Tool brethren. Things are progressing nicely. Slowly, but definitely progressing. Nothing is recorded yet, but the guys are confident that the pieces are coming together swimmingly and will be ready for me to begin writing melodies and content 'soon'. I'm as anxious to get this album completed as everyone else. But as history will show, you can't rush these gents. Patience is Gold in this Sound Mine. In the meantime, as always, other things are simultaneously occurring. Life is too short not to create something with every breath we draw."
Tool guitarist Adam Jones revealed in March that the band had finally settled a multi-level lawsuit that had dragged on for eight years and set back its recording and touring plans.
Tool’s last album, 10,000 Days, was released in 2006.
