American geek rockers Weezer have requested the help of fans for an as yet unfinished track.

Weezer have had a dramatic year. Returning with their new album 'Raditude' the band cheered fans, who had expected the American group to take a break after releasing 'The Red Album' last year.

Containing some of their most outlandish material to date, the sessions for 'Raditude' included numerous collaborations, including a bizarre team up with saxophone star Kenny G.

Touring across North America, Weezer were recently dealt a huge blow when the band's tour bus skidded off the road. Injuring singer Rivers Cuomo, the frontman had to be cut from the wreckage of the vehicle.

Suffering a punctured lung and ruptured spleen, the singer was taken to hospital. Later released, the Weezer singer was ordered to rest. Denied permission to fly home by doctors Rivers Cuomo was forced to embark on a 2000 mile bus journey back home to Los Angeles.

Now the singer has attempted to rope in fans to help him finish a new track. Titled 'Sushi' the song in unfinished, with Rivers Cuomo now inviting fans and fellow musicians to help with the track.

"I wrote this tune, 'Shusui'" Cuomo said on the band's Radio Weezer. "Now I want to write the lyrics. Before I do that, I'd like somebody to produce a better demo of the music. I'll pay you $208."

A new musical that featured The Kinks singer Ray Davies has been cancelled.

More than a decade after their split, British group The Kinks are back in the news. The legendary group are famed for their unique songwriting style as well as their difficult personal relationships, with brothers Ray and Dave Davies frequently arguing.

However it seems that the two could have patched things up. In a recent interview Ray Davies stated his intention for re-form the band, with new material apparently in the offing.

In addition to this acclaimed director Julien Temple has confirmed plans to craft a film about the band. The Kinks' career spans over thirty years and moved from garage rock to Britpop. In the past Temple has directed such award winning films as 'The Filth And The Fury' - telling the story of The Sex Pistols.

Now a new musical featuring Ray Davies has been cancelled. 'Come Dancing' opened 2008 to warm reviews and box office success. A new run was confirmed for 2010 with director Bill Kenwright returning to the helm.

However in a new statement it was confirmed that the musical will not now go ahead. "Ray (Davies) is extremely disappointed that the 2010 'Come Dancing' tour will not be happening," a spokesperson for Davies' studio Konk wrote.

"(He) will be issuing a statement in due course."

No explanation has been given for the cancellation, although theatres are giving refunds to those who bought tickets in advance.

Britpop icons Blur have confirmed details of the premiere of their forthcoming documentary 'No Distance Left To Run'.

Blur began life as a shambling indie quartet named Seymour. Driven by singer Damon Albarn and his childhood friend Graham Coxon the pair's artistic ambition pushed the band to undreamt of heights.

After riding the baggy boom the re-christened Blur retreated to their rehearsal room. Taking inspiration from British songwriting icons such as The Kinks and Syd Barrett the group re-emerged with a potent new style.

Labelled 'Britpop' the band spawned a movement which swept all before it. Later tiring of their role in the jolly mid 90s knees up, Blur took a left turn writing material inspired by underground American rock acts such as Pavement.

Splitting in 2003 following the departure of guitarist Graham Coxon, the band reformed this summer to play a series of emotional shows. Climaxing with a headline set at Glastonbury the group invited film makers to record their comeback.

With no new shows on the horizon it seems that fans will have to make do with a new documentary. 'No Distance Left To Run' is a Pulse Films production, shot by Dylan Southern and Will Lovelace.

Produced by Lucas Ochoa and Thomas Benski, the film traces the history of the pioneering group through their own words. Opening in cinemas across the country from January 19th 'No Distance Left To Run' will be shown for the first time in London.

Taking place on January 14th the premiere will be shown in Leicester Square Odeon, with Blur themselves expected to be in attendance.
