Hot Music Beat

Despite being pregnant, Grammy and Oscar-winning singer and actress Jennifer Hudson attended and gave a wonderful performance of ‘Will You Be There (Hold Me)’ at the Michael Jackson public memorial service which was held at the Staples Center this past Tuesday in Los Angeles. The song was released as one of the late King of Pop’s singles in 1993. The song also appeared on the soundtrack to the movie ‘Free Willy’. Michael’s music proves to be timeless and I can only hope that his music will live on and forever be remembered. I actually feel sorry for future generations for not getting the chance to see the master do his thing. Rest in peace.

Panic at the Disco made a second statement about the departure of two of their members on their MySpace blog. The remaining members, Brendon and Spencer, wrote “We just wanted to let you know, that the news of Ryan and Jon leaving the band is unfortunately true. It’s been an amazing journey being in a band with them, but sometimes individual tastes take friends in different directions and you can’t ignore it. They are some of the most talented guys we know, and we’re sure that whatever they do next will be great. That said, Panic At The Disco is alive and very very well. We are working on new songs that we are excited for you to hear. Our dates with Blink and No Doubt start in a little less than a month, and we wouldn’t miss those for the world. We know everybody has a lot of questions at this point with everything being so out of the blue, most of those should be answered in the coming weeks. We appreciate every one of you, and hope you continue with us on this incredible ride.”
