Metalcore act the Word Alive have announced that bassist and founding member Nick Urlacher is leaving the Pheonix, AZ based band on amicable terms, according to Noisecreep.com. "I've decided to leave the Word Alive my friends," Urlacher said in a joint statement from him and the band. "This decision doesn't come easy, by any means of the word. The other five members have been my road family and home family for what feels like an eternity." The band saw their friend off, saying, "sometimes people have to choose the path that is right for them." The remaining members of the Word Alive have assured fans that no shows will be missed as they do an open audition for Urlacher's replacement.

The star who participated in the Digital Death Campaign have been resurrected!!
Celebs including Ryan Seacrest, Alicia Keys, Kim Kardashian, Justin Timberlake, and Lady Gaga will now return to their online lives after the intended goal of $1 million was raised for the Keep a Child Alive organization.
“From the bottom of my heart, thank you to all of the fans, friends and artists who stood together for this cause and saved real lives,” Alicia said Monday. “I am humbled by the outpour of support from everyone.”
Half a million dollars was raised in less than one week since the campaign launched, with an additional $500,000 donated from billionaire Stewart Rahr.
