| Jam Master Jay suspect named A suspect has been named in the murder of Jam Master Jay, who was gunned down at his New York recording studio in 2002. Prosecutors have identified Ronald "Tenad" Washington as the armed accomplice of the unidentified gunman who shot the rapper, reports the Associated Press. Jay, real name Jason Mizell, was a member of pioneering rap group Run DMC, and is also known for his 1986 cover of Aerosmith's 'Walk This Way', which hit the top of the charts in both the UK and the US. Tenad has been convicted of several armed robberies since Jay's death, and is also a suspect in the 1995 fatal shooting of Randy Walker, an associate of late rapper Tupac Shakur. Washington -- the first suspect to be publicly identified in the Jay murder -- has denied any involvement in either of the cases. In a sworn statement, he alleged that hostile detectives hounded him about the killing of his "childhood friend" Mizell, as well as other crimes. A spokesperson for the Mizell family said they were happy to hear that a suspect had been named. "We're relieved there's some information coming out, although we understand that it's not the full story," spokeswoman Fern Yates said. |
Rockers queue up to help out Manchester music legend Rock musicians are helping pay for Manchester music legend Tony Wilson's ?3,500-a-month cancer treatment after the Manchester NHS Primary Care Trust refused to fund it. The Factory Records boss, who famously discovered Joy Division and Happy Mondays, is taking controversial new drug Sutent after chemotherapy failed to beat the cancer diagnosed last year. Doctors at the Christie Hospital in Manchester recommended the drug - which has doubled the life expectancy of some patients in trials - but the Manchester trust has refused to pay on the grounds that there is not enough "demonstrable evidence to support the use of this drug in treating kidney cancer". Wilson - who says he may appeal the decision - said: "When they said I would have to pay ?3,500 for the drugs each month, I thought 'Where am I going to find the money?' I'm the one person in this industry who famously has never made any money. "I used to say some people make money and some make history - which is very funny until you find you can't afford to keep yourself alive." Nathan McGough, former manager of Happy Mondays, set up a fund teamed up with Elliott Rashman, the Mondays' present manager, after they heard of his plight and quickly collected enough money to fund his treatment for the next five months. "Tony is such a highly respected figure in the entertainment industry we have built up a substantial fund," said McGough. Everyone I asked - businesses as well as individuals - were very quick to offer help. These people don't want thanks or recognition, they just wanted to help." |
