SIXX:A.M. members Nikki Sixx and James Michael joined DISTURBED on stage on May 27 at this year's Rocklahoma festival in Pryor, Oklahoma to perform cover versions of U2's "I Still Haven't Found What I'm Looking For" and THE WHO's "Baba O'Riley".

DISTURBED's sixth studio album, "Immortalized", was released last August. The album debuted at the top of the Billboard 200 chart, making it DISTURBED's fifth effort in a row to enter the chart at Number One, a feat shared only with METALLICA and DAVE MATTHEWS BAND. DISTURBED kicked off a North American tour — its first in more than four years — on February 10 in Fargo.
