This latest bit of news from the Carter/Epstein household appeared in a Rolling Stone article on Tom Petty's upcoming tour.....

The tour will be something of a Heartbreakers reunion, as original bassist Ron Blair has rejoined the band. Blair, who jammed with Petty and the Heartbreakers during their induction into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in March, has officially replaced Howie Epstein, who replaced him in 1982.

According to a statement, "the band has parted ways with Howie Epstein because of his ongoing personal problems." Late last year, Epstein was arrested along with Carlene Carter, after they were pulled over in New Mexico while driving a car that was reported as stolen. Police retrieved a small amount of heroin from the vehicle.
