New Music for 50 Cent

alan — Fri, 19 Mar 2010 15:44:04 +0000

50 Cent is apparently over the gangster hip hop genre and has decided to take his music into a whole new direction. Sources say that the rapper is already in the studio, laying down tracks for a dance album inspired by club music that he enjoyed during his tour of Europe. 50 explains “I went to a nightclub after party. It was different music after a while. The music they were playing before they were playing the music I created was more up-tempo, more dance. I wanted to make a song like that, so I went into the studio. Because I’m travelling with my live band, I took the band with me and we sequenced it and recorded the actual record while we was out there…I won’t allow myself to be placed in a box where I can only do one style, or do one kind of music. They should expect the unexpected on this one. If they can understand how I enjoy different genres of music and different styles, for the people who have various tastes in music, they’ll really like it.” This has to be the weirdest career move ever.

R Kelly Tour Postponed

Sam — Tue, 16 Mar 2010 16:41:39 +0000

R Kelly won’t be making his way over to Europe as the R&B singer recently announced that his upcoming tour has to be postponed due to some throat problems. I wonder what’s wrong with him and how he got it. He says that he has strict orders from doctors to rest his voice for fear of further damage. R Kelly apologized to his fans in a statement, saying “I owe it to my fans to give them the best shows possible and right now my voice isn’t up to the job.” I’m sure that the ten people who bought tickets will completely understand.

Susan Boyle not opening for 50 Cent

Sam — Mon, 15 Mar 2010 18:55:00 +0000

Even though the rapper was speaking about collaborating with the new hit sensation singer back when she was in the new big thing in New York, it seems 50 Cent’s words were nothing short of shallow. The rapper will soon have a tour in England and he most likely could’ve got Susan Boyle to open for him on his shows… in fact, some claim that was even her hope. But no, 50 Cent decides to go with David John instead of Susan Boyle. That’s honesty for you… oh well, he’ll probably soon regret it when Susan Boyle knocks everybody dead with another hit soon… Simon Cowell will probably see to that.

Paul McCartney on Tour

Sam — Sat, 06 Mar 2010 12:40:55 +0000

Sir Paul McCartney will be performing his first ever solo stadium tour in the UK this coming summer. The 67-year old Beatles legend will also be headlining Hard Rock Calling and then the Isle of Wight music festival with Jay-Z and The Strokes. The singer said “It’s always brilliant to play for the home crowd and these dates are the ones that me and the band are really excited about. This will be my first show on the Isle of Wight and I’m looking forward to a rollicking night of rock ‘n’ roll. I always remember hearing such great things about this festival and it has such a sense of history with the likes of Jimi Hendrix playing there the first time round.”

No Gunfire at Beyonce Concert

Sam — Wed, 17 Feb 2010 21:14:53 +0000

Contrary to prior reports, no gunfire erupted at Beyonce’s concert in Brazil. The 28-year old R&B singer allegedly ended her show early last week due to gunshots but it has recently been confirmed that those reports were completely false. Beyonce played to record crowds on her recent tour in Brazil, without incident, including an audience of 60,000 in Sao Paulo and two sold out shows in Rio. I wonder what started the whole gunshot rumors. Oh well, I’m glad that the reports are false and that there are no fugitive gun bearers out on the streets of Brazil. It kind of makes you feel safer.

Mariah Carey’s Fans are Up in Arms

Sam — Thu, 11 Feb 2010 23:57:54 +0000

Mariah Carey may want to rethink her concert set list because even her fans that she cares about so much are starting to get cranky. According to an insider, the singer is charging up to $325 per ticket while she’s on tour, with a relatively short set list. On top of showing up late to every concert date, the diva has reportedly cut three more songs for the past two dates, including the fan favorite ‘Emotions’. Her set list now consists of a paltry thirteen songs and a very short concert experience. The source also said that even her fan club, who never complains about Mariah’s antics, are up in arms.

Weezer Crash Details

Sam — Fri, 11 Dec 2009 22:44:43 +0000

As it was reported, Weezer’s tour bus was in a crash accident due to slipping on an ice patch last week. The band’s lead singer Rivers Cuomo was taken to the hospital after complaining of rib pain. It has recently been revealed that Rivers sustained three cracked ribs. His assistant Sarah also fractured two ribs and a lower vertebrae. No one else was harmed in the accident, including Rivers’ wife and daughter. The rest of the band’s December tour dates have been cancelled while Rivers recuperates from his injury. I wish Rivers and his assistant a speedy recovery. I’m glad that the injuries weren’t much worse.

Robbie Williams is a Free Agent

Sam — Thu, 26 Nov 2009 22:14:25 +0000

Robbie Williams’ $90 million, four-album deal with EMI is coming to a close, and the singer’s management team is looking around for a better deal. The former Take That member’s managers are currently hunting out investors to buy the rights to Robbie’s yet to be released album, tour earnings and sponsor money, all for more than $80 million. One of his advisors said “Obviously we are talking to several record companies about a new deal for Robbie, but we are also looking at talking broadly to all potential investors, including financial institutions.” Considering how flaky he’s been lately, good luck with that.

This Is It director Kenny Ortega has revealed what Michael Jackson last said to the crew as he told them

Sam — Tue, 03 Nov 2009 01:29:44 +0000

This Is It director Kenny Ortega has revealed what Michael Jackson last said to the crew as he told them “this is the dream”.

The 59-year-old director was working with Jacko on his 50 London shows when he passed away in June and he has since created the movie This Is It out of 80 hours of footage from working on the shows.

Talking about their last meeting, he said to MTV News: “Michael stood out in front of the stage that night with me and looked up at the rehearsal and said: ‘This is the dream. We did it good, Kenny, We did it. Very good’.

“There was this anticipation of tomorrow, this anticipation of London and this great feeling about what we’d accomplished over the past couple of nights.

“He told me he was happy. He had nothing creatively or critically to say to anyone other than: ‘I love you, thank you, everyone’s doing a great job and I’ll see you tomorrow’.”

U2 Announces More Tour Dates

Sam — Fri, 30 Oct 2009 18:53:40 +0000

As reported last month, even though U2 had been selling out concerts, the band has yet to make any profits due to the high cost of production. According to projections, U2 won’t break even until they’re done with the North American leg of their tour this month. The group is now trying to break even with the tour by adding more dates. They will make their return to North America when they perform at Anaheim’s Angel Stadium on June 6th net year. The band will end with their European tour next October, performing their final show in Portugal. Good luck getting tickets though because they are selling out fast!

Spare Change for Creed

Sam — Fri, 16 Oct 2009 20:17:58 +0000

Creed’s big comeback tour has officially crashed and burned – even if it never really took off to begin with. A notice went out to anyone looking to attend the band’s Birmingham, Alabama concert this Friday saying that the tickets are now on sale for just 75 cents! Add a couple more bucks and you’d get yourself some food too. The surcharge to the ticketing distribution company cost more than the actual ticket does. Ha! Start digging through those couch cushions and car seats for some spare change. I’m sure you’ve all got the money somewhere. Or you can save it for laundry day and wait until just before the show. They’ll let people in for free by then.

Britney Spears Tour Comes to a Close

Sam — Thu, 01 Oct 2009 21:30:52 +0000

Nobody thought that she could do it, but after 83 shows, Britney Spears had her two final concerts on North American Circus tour in Las Vegas at Mandalay Bay this past weekend. The pop star has done it and she didn’t cancel any performances! It’s being said that the singer won’t be performing again for a very long time. After Vegas, Britney is heading down under for 6 shows in Australia and then the tour is over. It’s said to see the end but with her next single ‘3’ already out, every Britney fan can get their fix of the pop star.

The Show Goes on for Aerosmith

Sam — Mon, 28 Sep 2009 22:39:22 +0000

Aerosmith lead guitarist Joe Perry said that people can’t expect that their court ordered show in Hawaii in October to be as great as the rest of their concerts due to lead singer Steven Tyler’s injury. The band is obligated to perform though after losing a class action lawsuit due to a 2007 cancelled performance in Maui. Brandee Faria, the ringleader in the lawsuit says that “They know they can’t come out and do a 30-minute gig … because I’ll be there watching.” Mind you, Aerosmith just cancelled their tour back in August because Steven had a nasty fall and injured his shoulder.

Jay-Z Loves Coldplay

Sam — Thu, 24 Sep 2009 20:04:29 +0000

The Jay-Z and Coldplay tour hit up Wembley Stadium in London last weekend and the rapper ambushed his good friend Chris Martin with a hug while the band’s lead singer was playing the piano. A concertgoer said “It was a strange moment. Everyone went wild when Jay-Z joined the boys on stage but seeing him grab Chris away from the piano and onto the floor was a bit weird to say the least.” The two then rolled around on the stage floor for some time before Jay-Z let Chris continue on with the show. I wonder if anyone was able to get a video of this.
