AJR's Adam Met tells Billboard magazine that each of the brothers covers a different role for the band. “Each of us fell into a different role. Jack deals with artist relations when we’re doing remixes or writing sessions or developing relationships with other artists and managers. Ryan is completely the arts side. He edits all of our videos and the production and a lot of the writing and does the photo editing. I take on the business role. I’m involved in the radio campaign, marketing and advertising. All three roles are very necessary, so we don’t argue at all, and no one is in charge of the other two! It functions very well.”

TMZ says ''Saved by the Bell'' star Dustin Diamond has died at the age of 44 from stage 4 lung cancer. His girlfriend was by his side when he passed away. Dustin's lung cancer spread over the course of the last several weeks.
The NY Post says Dustin's dying wishes were to go to Disney World and meet members of his favorite rock band Tool. His friend, Dan Block, says, “There are two things Dustin asked for … the ability to talk to Justin Chancellor about music and to be able to visit Disney World to see ‘Star Wars Galaxy Edge.’ Dustin was learning to play several Tool songs and wanted to start a Tool tribute band. He was in the process of starting the band before being diagnosed with cancer. He would play the song and play along with his bass while watching YouTube videos.
A source tells Perez Hilton, “Dustin was not even home for 24 to 48 hours before he went back to the hospital. They thought he had pneumonia but then they ran more tests and apparently the cancer had spread. It happened very suddenly. His passing was not supposed to happen this quickly. No one knew the kind of pain he was in — only he knew.”
Tori Spelling posted: "My 1st onscreen love Dustin Diamond got his Angel wings today... Before there was David and Donna there was Screech and Violet. Dustin was my first on-screen kiss. He welcomed me with open arms onto the set of Saved By the Bell. As one can imagine being the newbie on a hit show was overwhelming for a 14-year-old girl. He not only showed me around but made sure I was always ok. Such a young gentleman. He was kind, smart, and always making everyone laugh. He was a great scene partner. He was a really good guy."
Tiffani Amber Thiessen posted: "I am deeply saddened by the news of my old co-star @realdustindiamond passing. Life is extremely fragile and it’s something we should never take for granted. God speed Dustin"

She says it makes her feel good to be able to give this man, who has made her so happy, things he can appreciate. Katie thinks the sun rises and sets with this guy.
