April 12, 2008 -- MAX Weinberg will def initely be making the move to Los Angeles to continue as bandleader for the new Conan O'Brien "Tonight Show."
Weinberg's plans to go along with the move to the West Coast were reported yesterday in the Wall Street Journal, buried deep in a feature story about the drummer's plans to sell 22 acres of his 40-acre estate in Middletown, N.J., to developers.
The proposed sale is not sitting well with some neighbors and officials in Middletown Township, the story said.
According to the story, Weinberg plans to keep his New Jersey home - where he lives with his wife and two children - while living at least part-time in the Los Angeles area.
The story said he has already "looked at at least 100 homes" in the area so far in anticipation of O'Brien's takeover of "The Tonight Show" from Jay Leno some time next year.
Weinberg, who will be 57 on Sunday, could not be reached yesterday for comment. He is currently on tour with Bruce Springsteen and the E Street Band. But a source at NBC's "Late Night" confirmed he'll be joining O'Brien out west.
It remains uncertain whether all or any of his band members will be making the move with him.
