This morning's new music news; DMX has been moved to a mental health facility within the prison he is currently incarcerated in, Bon Jovi had the highest grossing tour this past year and The Dirtbombs will release their new album 'Party Store' in February.
DMX has been moved to a mental health facility within prison grounds after receiving a one year sentence for parole violation earlier this month. Apparently the rapper was moved to Flamenco Mental Health Unit when the judge who presided over his case said she believed he might be suffering from an undiagnosed mental condition.
