The Rolling Stones are amping up their upcoming pay-per-view special, which is set to air live from their Dec. 15 show at the Prudential Center in Newark, N.J. The band has added the Black Keys to an impressive, diverse A-list lineup of guests who will join them onstage for the final show of their 50 & Counting anniversary trek.

Congrats are in order for the Black Keys, and in particular the band's singer-guitarist Dan Auerbach, who had his name mentioned six times when the 2013 Grammy nominations were revealed Wednesday night (Dec. 5). He tied with fun., Jay-Z, Mumford & Sons, Frank Ocean and Kanye West for the most nominations of the evening.

The Black Keys have settled their copyright infringement lawsuits against Pizza Hut and Home Depot. BBC News is reporting that all parties have settled out of court, with the group reaching an agreement with Pizza Hut Monday (Nov. 26) and Home Depot earlier this month. Terms of the settlements were not disclosed.

The Black Keys are still on the road supporting their last album, ‘El Camino,’ but that hasn’t stopped the duo from beginning to throw around some ideas that could turn up on a follow-up to the 2011 full-length release. In fact, frontman Dan Auerbach and drummer Pat Carney already convened in their adopted hometown of Nashville to begin working on the disc.

The Black Keys originally planned to have some sort of narrative arc underpinning their video for ‘Little Black Submarines,’ the fourth single off their ‘El Camino’ album, but they ultimately decided to go with a live clip. “We all just sort of kind of mutually agreed that it should probably just be the performance and not any of the other extra stuff,” singer-guitarist Dan Auerbach told Rolling

It seems everybody wants a piece of the Black Keys‘ music these days. The rockers aren’t above licensing their songs for use in commercials, but they claim in a new lawsuit that two large companies – Pizza Hut and Home Depot – borrowed their music without compensating them.

The Black Keys are about to make another appearance on the small screen soon, as the duo will guest star on the Comedy Central hit ‘Workaholics.’ The episode will air on June 19, and according to star Adam DeVine, the Akron, Ohio natives are comedy naturals.

What do you get when you put Akron’s hippest indie blues rock duo together with the director of ‘Trash Humpers’? The Black Keys and Harmony Korine are glad you asked, because they’ve just debuted the new, Korine-directed clip for the Keys’ latest single, ‘Gold on the Ceiling.’

What can you do when you’ve sold more than 20 million records and the drummer for a blogger-friendly indie-rock duo tees off on you during an interview with Rolling Stone? Nickelback had to find the answer to the question recently, when Patrick Carney of the Black Keys said “Rock ‘n’ roll is dying because people became OK with Nickelback being the biggest band in the world” — and to Nickelback’s c
