Edmonton, AB - Rexall Place (29)

Sean Levert, one third of '80s R&B trio LeVert and son of O'Jay's vocalist Eddie, has died at the age of 39 after being taken ill in prison in Cleveland. He was sentenced to 10 months last week after failing to pay child maintenance and had been suffering from high blood pressure. A coroner's spokesman said an autopsy was inconclusive.

Martha Wainwright's new album, I Know You’re Married But I’ve Got Feelings Too, features guest appearances from The Who's Pete Townshend and The Band's keyboardist extraordinaire Garth Hudson. Steely Dan's Donald Fagen has also contributed to the track So Many Friends. The record also see's Wainwright covering Pink Floyd's See Emily Play.

And finally...Happy Birthday to the inimitable Ronnie Lane! He would have been 62 today. Here he is in 1974 with Done This One Before.
