Charlie Colin, the founding bassist of Train who played with the band from 1994 to 2003, has died from a falling accident at the age of 58.
Per TMZ, Colin was housesitting for some friends in Belgium when he slipped and fell in the shower. The musician was found when his friends returned home five days later, and his mother confirmed to TMZ that he had passed.
Colin, a Berklee College of Music grad, played with guitarist and fellow alum Rob Hotchkiss in the rock band Apostles in the early ’90s.

He played on the band’s first three studio albums from 1998 to 2003, which included hits like “Meet Virginia,” “Drops of Jupiter,” and “Calling All Angels.”
Colin was forced out the band in 2003 due to substance abuse issues, but continued his music career throughout the last two decades.

The Addams Family have been absent from cinema screens for too long. It’s been a whopping 26 years since Addams Family Values hit theaters (the less said about the straight-to-video 1998 Addams Family Reunion the better), but now they’re back, in animated form! And judging by this recently-released poster (seen below), it appears that The Addams Family Halloween is going to stick very closely to cartoonist Charles Addams’ original designs in the comic strip.
This take on America’s strangest family is being headed by Sausage Party directors Greg Tiernan and Conrad Vernon, who’ve explained that they’ve been devouring the strips from The New Yorker for inspiration.
Here’s what Vernon had to say about the project a while back:
“Greg and I have always been a fan of the Addams Family in past versions, so when we set out to make this movie, we were excited to do something new.

The boozy new sing-along from the King of Country, the sad-eyed reinvention of an East Nashville staple and a lesson in love from a maturing country duo make up the 10 must-hear songs of the week.
Szlachetka, “Until That Echo”
Built around a chromatic guitar riff that spirals downward into darkness, “Until That Echo” is a roots-rocker for late-night drives and haunted hearts. Frontman Matt Szlachetka co-wrote the song with Scott Underwood, Train’s drummer of 20 years, resulting in a track that mixes deep-seated grooves with guitar heroics.

Ready for a good time? Great! That just might happen for you if you go see Sausage Party. But be warned. This movie is not a love-it or hate-it film; it’s just not. Sausage Party is a have fun or don’t-have fun film. But if you go into it with the right mindset, trust me, my friends. You will have fun.
But heed this warning: if you can’t get past the profanity, you need to walk away. No, don’t walk…run. Run far away. Run or fly as far and as fast as your sensitive feet or wings will carry you, because, if you see this movie, you are about to be highly, extraordinarily, and profoundly offended by its very nature, much less any of the words actually uttered on-screen. Offended by sex? Offended by drinking and illicit substances? Offended by violence (albeit animated in nature)? Offended by swear words?...
