No, it's major news in this context:
“ALIVE” BUT APART: Eddie Vedder dropped a bombshell Saturday night at the end of the final date on Pearl Jam’s world tour in Oeiras, Portgual, music-news.com reported. “Thank you for coming to our last show,” said Ed. “Not our last ever, but our last in a long time. Have fun tonight, because we don't know when else we will have fun.” (7/14a)

Cohen must be given credit for having an elevated sense of drama. He summoned Flom, who was vacationing at his house in Aspen, to LAX for a meeting.
When Jason arrived, Lyor handed him a press release containing the bombshell: Flom, the Atlantic executive with the most seniority, was out. The release, which will be disseminated some time today, further reveals that Atlantic COO and Co-Chairman Craig Kallman will be made the label’s Chairman, while Cohen functionary Julie Greenwald becomes President.

A WEISS DECISION: The same piece contains a second bombshell. “Weiss is widely viewed as a successful producer and a natural successor to Schmidt-Holtz, since the two both hailed from BMG,” Atkinson points out before adding, provocatively, “If Weiss doesn't get the top slot, sources said he will leave. Weiss' p.r. rep didn't return a call for comment. Several executives suggest he would take a position at Universal Music Group... Weiss has another year on his contract, however, which would legally prevent rivals from discussing new positions with him. ‘He's not going anywhere until he figures out his situation contractually,’ said one source.” (10/15a)
