Phish Reunites At Jammys, But Band Doesn't Jam

Published: May 9, 2008

Though the Jammy Awards were able to bring together the members of Phish for the first time since they broke up four years ago, the reunion may not have been everything Phish-heads had hoped for.

Although all members of the jam-band appeared - and two of them grooved onstage (Trey Anastasio and Page McConnell) - they didn't perform together Wednesday night. As they accepted their lifetime achievement award, there was no hint of another reunion.

However, the coming together of Anastasio, McConnell, Jon Fishman and Mike Gordon was still the highlight of an emotional and electric evening, as they thanked fans for their groundbreaking journey as the most popular jam-band since the Grateful Dead and one of the most popular touring bands in rock.

Carey, Cannon Confirm Marriage - And Tattoos

Mariah Carey really did get married to Nick Cannon in the Bahamas last week - and they have the tattoos to prove it.

The 38-year-old singer and the 27-year-old actor confirmed to People magazine that they tied the knot at Carey's Bahamian estate April 30 after a courtship that began in late March.

In an interview in the magazine's May 19 issue, Cannon said they clicked instantly when Carey cast him as a lover in the video for her new single, "Bye Bye."

"We had so much in common spiritually, and we laugh at the same things," he said. "I didn't have to put on my Mac Daddy suave mode. I was able to be myself with her. We are both eternally 12 years old."
