The popular YouTuber/singer Jon Cozart, also known by his YouTube channel ‘Paint’ has grown to fame (and to over 4 million subscribers) by his very-well executed videos such as ‘Harry Potter in 99 seconds’ or the ‘After Ever After’ songs).
And why are we talking about Jon today? Jon recently published through his Instagram Stories videos from the previous night, where you can hear him and his friends drunkenly karaoke to Simple Plan’s ‘Perfect’.
Check it out on the video below. Enjoy:
This past Saturday, May 13th, Jeff Stinco not only attended his daughter’s Zoé’s school’s fundraiser, but he performed there as well!
Simple Plan’s lead guitarist accompanied his youngest daughter on his guitar, while she and her friend sang. Jeff joked that “To be fair, the song she picked was pretty bad but at least she sang out of key,” but adding that he was very proud of his girl. Check out a picture of them performing together (Zoé’s the girl next to Jeff) that Jeff shared with his fans yesterday:
The Czech online magazine called Headliner’s May issue features an interview with Simple Plan’s drummer Chuck Comeau. In the interview, Chuck discussed Simple Plan’s current NPNHJB tour, which celebrates their debut album’s 15th anniversary. And while there are still plans to prolong this anniversary tour, according to Chuck’s most recent words, the band also still wants to continue with their Taking One For The Team tour after the No Pads tour (which he still plans for the end of this year):
Of course after the tour cycle ends (whenever that is), the band is certain about one thing: they don’t want their fans to wait another 4 years for a new record. See what Chuck had to say about a possible 6th album’s release date:
Now if our calculations are correct, if Simple Plan want to release the record 2 years after the last one came out (February 2016), that would make their goals aim for the next year, 2018.
In theory, that could be managable, but we know how good SP are with meeting deadlines and taking months to both write, record and also post-produce and promote new albums. I think we’ll all agree that we would like the next SP record to be released sooner rather than later, but let’s just take the year ‘2018’ as more of a fluid objective or a wishful thinking, than a fixed point in time. Especially if we already know the band plans to only focus on touring in 2017.
In June, Simple Plan will return to the 2017 edition of one of the most popular European festivals: Rock Am Ring and Rock Im Park in Germany.
