UPDATE: Eddie Owen takes to Facebook to address his Eddie’s Attic firing
From the post:
it’s a pretty simple story. Alex Cooley owns Eddie’s, the decisions are his to make. He who owns the coins makes the rules. He fired me. It doesn’t make him a bad guy, it’s just a business decision he thinks best.

Our response exactly. And if you have yet to read our current feature on Eddie, now’s as a good a time as any.
By 10 a.m., 66 of Owen’s Facebook friends had posted comments on the development. “I’d like to fire whoever fired you!” wrote Susan Ray. “I’m plotting a community take-over!” Echoed Facebook friend Anthony Johnson: “Dude, you ARE Eddie’s Attic!! I’ll definitely be coming to visit you at RCT. You’d better believe it. I grew as a musician, songwriter and artist at Eddie’s.” Added Jonda Beattie: “I have no interest in Eddie’s Attic without Eddie Owen.”

TLC will do a reunion tour with Left Eye. Kinda. Unfortunately, she won’t come on stage as a Tupac-esque hologram
