OHMYGOSSIP — Dolly Parton has messaged Sir Elton John asking him to duet with her on ‘Don’t Let the Sun Go Down On Me’.
After being inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame, the ‘Jolene’ hitmaker is set to release a rock album, and she is hoping the music legend will play piano and duet with her on her version of his 1974 hit.
She said: “I just recorded for my rock album and I did [Elton’s] song, ‘Don’t Let the Sun Go Down On Me’. And I’ve sent out a message asking if he would sing with me on it and possibly play the piano. So if y’all get to see him, say Dolly wants you to sing on her record! So anyway, but I love him, just tell him to enjoy it because it was great fun for me.”
The late George Michael featured on a live cut of the rock’n’roll classic.
The upcoming album, which is poised for release in the latter end 2023, will feature a mix of classic rock covers and some new tunes in that vein.
Dolly teased: “I’m working on that album and that will be coming out sometime next fall hopefully, in time for the Christmas season next year. And so I’m going to do a lot of classic songs that are rock songs and then a few that I’ve written.”
Elsewhere, the ‘9 to 5’ hitmaker also had some advice for the ‘Tiny Dancer’ ahead of his headline set at Glastonbury next summer.
She said: “Tell him to enjoy it, because it was great fun for me.”
Dolly admitted she had no idea if she was “festival material” before she headlined Glastonbury.
The country pop legend confessed she was feeling “scared” about stepping on the Pyramid Stage for the first time when she played the Sunday afternoon legends slot at the world-famous music extravaganza in 2014.
She told BBC Radio 2’s ‘The Zoe Ball Breakfast Show’: “I was a little scared at the start, I didn’t know if I was festival material because I don’t usually play those kind of big shows like that because I talk a lot and I do a lot of story-type songs and I thought, ‘Nah I don’t know about this.’ But they were the most wonderful audience, as good as I’ve ever had in my life.”

OHMYGOSSIP — Sir Cliff Richard would love to record an “unlikely” festive hit with Mariah Carey.
The ‘Devil Woman’ hitmaker just released his first Christmas album in almost 20 years, ‘Christmas With Cliff’, which was beaten by Stormzy’s ‘This Is What I Mean’ to the No1 spot in the Official UK Albums Chart.
And the 82-year-old music legend has revealed he’d be keen to get in the studio with the Queen of Christmas, ‘All I Want For Christmas is You’ hitmaker Mariah, to record another Yuletide song as he’s intrigued to see how their differing vocal ranges go together.
He told the ‘James Watt in Conversation’ podcast: “You’re talking about someone who has got about a four-octave voice. I think I’ve got half an octave. It would be the most unlikely coupling for her and I to get together and that appeals to me.”
The ‘Honky Tonk Angel’ singer released ‘Cliff at Christmas’ in 2003 and ‘Together With Cliff Richard’ in 1991.
Cliff has had four UK Christmas No.1 singles, two as a solo artist with ‘Mistletoe and Wine’ and ‘Saviour’s Day’.
The ‘Summer Holiday’ hitmaker recently revealed he doesn’t do long tours anymore because of the “strain” on his vocal cords.
Cliff will embark on ‘The Blue Sapphire Tour’ next November, eight shows kicking off with a mini-residency at the London Eventim Apollo between November 6 and 12.
He said: “It’s not a very long tour. The heavy touring is a real strain, particularly on the vocal cords. You wake up in the morning hoping your voice will be OK for tonight so that’s a stressful thing, so I’m only doing about eight concerts next year and it’ll be fun. I like it and it’s nice to be in front of the public. It’s a mutual love.
“You’ve got to be a bit dignified when you’re 82.”
However, Cliff would never want to “retire” from music because he wouldn’t want to make a “comeback” if he decided to make a U-turn.
He explained: “Stop is a good word. I might stop one day. I don’t want to retire. Once you’ve retired you feel you’ve got to stay away and if you do want to do something it’s called a comeback. And every time I hear somebody has done a comeback I’m thinking they’ve run out of money.
“Recording is so much fun, if I could record every day of my life I would. It’s always a challenge because every time you do an album, there is something different about it.”

OHMYGOSSIP — John Frusciante is releasing an electronic solo album after needing to “clear my head”.
The Red Hot Chili Peppers guitarist took to Bandcamp to announce his upcoming project, which he has produced all by himself, and admitted he found it to be a “therapeutic way of re-balancing myself” after releasing two albums, ‘Unlimited Love’ and ‘Return of the Dream Canteen’, with the band this year.
There are two version of the album, ‘. I :’ for vinyl, and ‘: I I .’ for CD and digital.
John wrote: “After a year and a half writing and recording rock music, I needed to clear my head.
“I listened to and made music where things generally happen gradually rather than suddenly. I would set up patches on a Monomachine or Analog Four and listen to them, hearing one sound morph into others, making changes to a patch only after having listened for quite a while, gradually adding elements, and finally manipulating the sounds on the fly. All tracks were recorded live to CD burner, with no overdubs, and executed on one or two machines.”
The 52-year-old musician went on to explain that he was longing to make music “from the ground up” rather than just doing his guitar parts.
He added: “I cannot overstate the role that being in my band played.
“I had previously spent 12 years programming and engineering my own music, and then spent a year and a half making music where my role was basically to write songs and play guitar. When the band’s recording phase was completed, I needed to go back to my adopted language.
“I had done enough with chords, rhythms, notes, defined sections, sharp transitions, etc.. What I needed was to create music from the ground up with nothing but sound, and have that music reflect ‘being’ rather than ‘doing’. It was a therapeutic way of re-balancing myself, before and during my band’s mixing process.”
The project is due out early next year.
John’s last solo LP was 2020’s ‘Maya’.

OHMYGOSSIP — Taylor Swift’s signed ‘Midnights’ guitar is up for auction.
The ‘Shake It Off’ hitmaker’s acoustic boasts a picture of the star laying down on the couch and, at the time of writing, the highest bid is $5,500.
The money raised from the sale of the instrument will benefit war veterans suffering from PTSD.
It’s part of the Raven Drum Foundation’s second annual 12 Drummers Drumming sale, which runs until December 12.
The non-profit was founded by Def Leppard drummer Rick Allen and his wife Lauren Monroe.
Meanwhile, Taylor’s fans are suing Ticketmaster for “price fixing” and “fraud”.
Following the ticket-buying debacle for the superstar’s North American ‘Eras’ tour, which saw Ticketmaster cancel the general sale due to high demand and insufficient ticket inventory, a number of fans are now suing the company.
According to TMZ, the firm is being sued for “fraud, price fixing and antitrust violations”, as well as “intentional deception”, after scalpers scooped up a large number of tickets.
The lawsuit claims that because Ticketmaster is involved in both the primary ticket sale market as well as the secondary market, they were “eager to allow” scalpers into the presale event.
Ticketmaster previously issued an apology to Taylor and her fans, following the pre-sale debacle.
It read: “We strive to make ticket buying as easy as possible for fans, but that hasn’t been the case for many people trying to buy tickets for Taylor Swift ‘The Eras’ Tour. First, we want to issue an apology to Taylor and all of her fans – especially those who had a terrible experience trying to purchase tickets.”
The apology came after Taylor revealed she was “p***** off” with how the sales had been handled.
She wrote in an Instagram message to fans: “I’ve brought so many elements of my career in-house. I’ve done this SPECIFICALLY to improve the quality of my fans’ experience by doing it myself with my team who care as much about my fans as I do. It’s really difficult for me to trust an outside entity with these relationships and loyalties, and excruciating for me to just watch mistakes happen with no recourse.
“There are a multitude of reasons why people had such a hard time trying to get tickets and I’m trying to figure out how this situation can be improved moving forward. I’m not going to make excuses for anyone because we asked them, multiple times, if they could handle this kind of demand and we were assured they could. It’s truly amazing that 2.4 million people got tickets, but it really p***** me off that a lot of them feel like they went through several bear attacks to get them.”

OHMYGOSSIP — Neil Diamond made a rare appearance to perform ‘Sweet Caroline’ on Broadway.
The 81-year-old music legend retired from touring in 2018, after being diagnosed with Parkinson’s disease.
He’s performed the mega-hit a handful of times since, including at the Boston Red Sox in June.
And on Sunday (04.12.22), he performed at the opening night of ‘A Beautiful Noise: The Neil Diamond Musical’ at the Broadhurst Theatre in New York City.
Prior to the Red Sox game, Diamond performed at the 2020 Keep Memory Alive Power of Love gala at the MGM Grand Garden Arena in Las Vegas.
And just over two years later, he returned to the stage at Fenway Park in Boston to sing the football anthem adopted by the Red Sox for their match against the St. Louis Cardinals.
Diamond was joined by Broadway star Will Swenson, who plays the legendary musician in ‘A Beautiful Noise, the Neil Diamond Musical’, for the performance.
The ‘America’ singer announced that he was retiring from touring with “reluctance and disappointment”, after being stricken by the degenerative condition.
In a statement at the time, he said: “It is with great reluctance and disappointment that I announce my retirement from concert touring. I have been so honoured to bring my shows to the public for the past 50 years.
“My sincerest apologies to everyone who purchased tickets and were planning to come to the upcoming shows.”
Despite quitting touring, Diamond vowed to continue writing and recording music for a “long time to come”.
He added: “I plan to remain active in writing, recording and other projects for a long time to come.
“My thanks goes out to my loyal and devoted audiences around the world. You will always have my appreciation for your support and encouragement. This ride has been ‘so good, so good, so good’ thanks to you.”
Earlier this year, Diamond sold his entire song catalogue to Universal Music Group.
The deal included 110 unreleased tracks, an unreleased album and archive videos.
He said: “After nearly a decade in business with UMG, I am thankful for the trust and respect that we have built together and I feel confident in the knowledge that Lucian, Jody, Bruce, Michelle and the global team at UMG will continue to represent my catalogue and future releases with the same passion and integrity that have always fuelled my career.”

OHMYGOSSIP — SZA has hinted at a future collaboration with Hayley Williams.
The ‘Good Days’ rapper was asked when she’ll be jumping on a track with the Paramore frontwoman on Twitter this week, and she suggested it wasn’t out of the question as they are in touch often.
She replied: “I talk to her more than you’d think lol.”
Meanwhile, SZA has teased that she’d like to get Doja Cat on the deluxe edition of her forthcoming LP ‘SOS’ after she was originally set to feature on the track ‘Shirt’.
She told radio station Hot 97: “I would love to get her on the deluxe.”
The reason Doja couldn’t record her part for ‘Shirt’ is because she had to undergo vocal cord surgery.
SZA explained: “She had to have an emergency surgery like vocal cord surgery and she wasn’t ready in the time that we needed to get the song done … I’m still a major fan of her and her artistry.”
The pair previously teamed up on the track ‘Kiss Me More’ on Doja’s 2021 LP ‘Planet Her’.
‘SOS’ features Phoebe Bridgers, Travis Scott, and a posthumous appearance from Ol’ Dirty Bastard.
The long-awaited follow-up to the star’s 2017 debut LP ‘Ctrl’ is finally set for release on Friday (09.12.22) and has 23 songs.
Phoebe is featured on the track ‘Ghost in the Machine’ and Travis – who previously appeared on ‘Love Galore’ with SZA – is on the song ‘Open Arms’.
The late Wu-Tang Clan member – whose real name was Russell Tyrone Jones – is featured on the closing track ‘Forgiveness’.
Don Toliver also features on ‘Used’.

OHMYGOSSIP — Rag’n’Bone Man serves bacon baps at a rugby pitch on Sundays.
The ‘Human’ hitmaker – who has four-year-old son Reuben with ex-wife Beth Rouy – has revealed his partner Zoe Beardsall’s two teenage boys are massively into their rugby and each weekend he helps out selling hot food at their local pitch.
Speaking on ‘The Line-Up With Shaun Keaveny’, he said: “Reuben isn’t but I’ve sort of acquired more family now, so we’ve got two older boys, which are 12 and 13, and they are fully invested in rugby. So, you know, it’s like it’s training twice a week, games on a Sunday. I’ve recently been roped in to running a cafe by where they train and do their matches. So you can find me on a Sunday at the local rugby pitch serving bacon baps. It’s not how I saw myself in my mid thirties, but that is what I’m doing.”
The 37-year-old singer – whose real name is Rory Graham – leads a relatively normal life and he admits deleting social media from his phone has made life “so much better”.
He explained: “I don’t have social media anymore because I am that sort of person that looks through 300 comments for the one bad one, and I realised that about myself and then like a year ago, I thought, I don’t really have to have any of this on my phone, do I? I really don’t have to and everyone’s like, ‘no, it’s what you pay us for, we do that.’ So I don’t have it. I don’t have any of it on my phone. No Facebook, Instagram, Twitter, anything like that. I just don’t need it. And as soon as you don’t do it, you’re like, Oh, life is so much better without all of that. And then I’m like you, I do the French exit a lot, but often I’ve got quite comfortable with just saying ‘I’m going now’ and I’m not giving a reason or it’s okay to just say you don’t want to go to something and not saying ‘Oh, sorry. I can’t come because’ it’s no, I’m not coming.”
The Line-Up With Shaun Keaveny is available to listen to on all podcast platforms now.

The ‘Angels’ hitmaker is set for a huge outdoor concert in the grounds of the royal residence in Norfolk, East England, as part of the Heritage Live series, on August 26, 2023.
Giles Cooper, promoter at Heritage Live, said: “It’s been an ambition of us all at Heritage Live to stage a concert for the legendary Robbie Williams and the thing about Robbie is that he keeps getting better and better!
“His 2022 arena tour show was the best I’d ever seen him perform and for me he’s the best entertainer since Elvis! We can’t wait! It will be the most magical concert in the most amazing surroundings that’ll live in our memories forever!”
The summer series will also see Noel Gallagher’s High Flying Birds play a special outdoor headline show in Essex.
The Britpop legend and his band will perform a concert on the grounds of English Heritage’s Audley End House and Gardens on August 5, 2023.
Noel will be supported by ‘Valerie’ hitmakers The Zutons and former Kasabian frontman Tom Meighan.

Although there is no confirmed release date for the record – the follow-up to 2017’s ‘Who Built the Moon?’ – Noel recently let slip that it will drop in May 2023.
He said: “The team is doing good, we’re having a good season.
“Hopefully we will be in Istanbul around when my new album is out next May, so that would be good.
“It would be absolutely perfect. That’s the time of my birthday so it could well be the best birthday ever.
“I can’t say what the album is called yet though.”

OHMYGOSSIP — Guns N’ Roses are suing a Texas gun store for making fans think it is associated with the band.
Axl Rose and co have filed a lawsuit against the online shop Texas Guns and Roses – which is run by the Jersey Village Florist – accusing them of “confusing consumers into believing that it was connected or associated with, or licensed by, GNR.”
The papers state that despite a cease and desist letter being sent in 2019, the shop continues to “intentionally trade on GNR’s goodwill, prestige and fame without GNR’s approval, license or consent.
“This is particularly damaging to GNR given the nature of defendant’s business. GNR, quite reasonably, does not want to be associated with defendant, a firearms and weapons retailer.
“Furthermore, defendant espouses political views related to the regulation and control of firearms and weapons on the website that may be polarising to many U.S. consumers.”
The heavy metal band is seeking damages for an undisclosed amount and for the store to change its name.
The owners of the store’s attorney David L. Clark has insisted there is no confusion between the store and the band and vowed to fight the ‘Welcome to the Jungle’ hitmakers.
He told City News Service: “There’s never been any confusion and they have no evidence of confusion. This is an attempt to run up costs and burn us out.
“Our client sells metal safes for guns and flowers, and have a one-stop website and absolutely no one is confused. Nobody thinks we’re the band or there is some affiliation. We will be fighting back.”

OHMYGOSSIP — U2’s drummer Larry Mullen Jr. has ruled himself out of touring with U2 next year due to ongoing physical health issues.
The 61-year-old sticksman explained that he requires surgery after injuring his “elbows, knees [and] neck”, and should Bono and co decide to hit the road in 2023, he won’t be joining them.
Larry told The Washington Post’s journalist Geoff Edgers that he’d “like to take some time … to get myself healed”.
He continued: “My body is not what it used to be physically. Like next year, I won’t be performing live next year. I don’t know what the band’s plan is. There’s talk of all kinds of things.”
Geoff took to Twitter to clarify that Larry is not “leaving or retiring” from the band.
The ‘Vertigo’ rockers are yet to announce their touring plans.
At the weekend, they stepped out at the White House to be honoured for their contributions to the arts at the Kennedy Center Honors in Washington DC.
President Joe Biden hailed the Irish music legends for making music that unites people.
He began: “From this Irish American president in a White House designed by Irish hands, thank you for all you have done and the way you lift people up.
“To see each other, to see ourselves in one another, to unite in common cause – tonight we celebrate a truly exceptional . . . group of artists.”
The world leader went on to quote a poignant lyric from U2’s 1992 track ‘One’, which was penned about tensions within the group and the German reunification.
Biden said of the make-or-break single: “At a moment we would do well to remember when there is too much hate, too much division and too much anger in America and, quite frankly, around the world, as [U2′s] song goes: ‘We are one, we are not the same, we get to carry each other.'”

The late Wu-Tang Clan member – whose real name was Russell Tyrone Jones – is featured on the closing track ‘Forgiveness’.
Don Toliver also features on ‘Used’.
SZA recently explained that the reason for the long gap between her first and second record is nothing to do with “album pressure”, but finding it hard to fit in time for the LP while dealing with life.
SZA’s grandmother’s battle with Alzheimer’s and the COVID-19 pandemic made it even harder.
Speaking to Billboard magazine, the star – whose real name is Solána Imani Rowe – said: “It’s not like the album pressure, it’s just, life is f****** hard.
“To be expected to do anything at a high level while life is life-ing is f****** crazy. This isn’t meant for a person, it’s meant for a machine.”
The 33-year-old star insisted she didn’t want to give herself a deadline for the LP.
She told Complex: “I don’t have any deadlines, because at the end of the day, when my s*** comes out, it comes out.
“And if ever I lose my ability to choose, I have no problem vacating my current life and doing something different.
“I’m not glued to being an artist for the rest of my life or anything for that matter. I’m seeing where it takes me.”

SZA’s ‘SOS’ tracklist is:

1. ‘SOS’
2. ‘Kill Bill’
3. ‘Seek and Destroy’

OHMYGOSSIP — Metallica have warned fans about crypto scams offering giveaways for their new music and tour.
The heavy metal band made a major announcement last week involving their first album in six years, ’72 Seasons’, and a world tour, while they also shared the lead single ‘Lux Æterna’.
Since then, fans have made the ‘Nothing Else Matters’ rockers aware of several scams on YouTube sharing links to websites they “do not run”.
In a statement issued on their official social media channels, the group said: “In the wake of last week’s exciting news of our new song, new album, and new tour, unfortunately the ugly side of social media made an appearance.
“Many of you have let us know about YouTube channels and live streams, as well as websites, claiming to offer Metallica Crypto giveaways in conjunction with last week’s announcement.”
They warned: “Let’s be as clear as possible. These are scams. They’re being streamed on fake YouTube channels posing to be ours and all pointing to websites that we do not run. Please remember — all of our official social media channels are verified. Always look for official verification before believing something wild and crazy to be true.
“We thank all of you who have been vigilant in reporting these live streams to YouTube and to us … please don’t let up!”
The album – their first since 2016’s ‘Hardwired… to Self-Destruct’ – will be released on April 14, 2023.
The ‘Enter Sandman’ rockers will then embark on the mammoth tour in support of the LP, which will see them play two shows in each city with different setlists.
The jaunt spans 2023 and 2024, and is due to kick off in Amsterdam on April 27, 2023.
Different shows will have different support acts; from Architects, Mammoth WVH, and Five Finger Death Punch to Ice Nine Kills, Pantera, Volbeat and Greta Van Fleet.

OHMYGOSSIP — Camila Cabello is up for collaborating with her fellow ‘The Voice’ coach Gwen Stefani.
The ‘Havana’ hitmaker is loving her first season on the swinging-chair talent show, and she’d jump at the chance to record a duet with the ‘Hollaback Girl’ hitmaker.
She told ‘Entertainment Tonight’: “I mean, we’re so much closer than we’ve ever been by being on ‘The Voice’ together, so that’s a start!
“I love her. She’s the best.”
She continued: “She’s just a punk rocker at heart.”
Camila said if they did release a song together it would have “eff you vibes.”
She added: “I feel like she’s just trailblazed for so many women … She’s just like, a weirdo in like the best way, and those are my favourite kind of artists.”
Earlier this year, Camila performed ‘Havana’ on ‘The Voice’ alongside fellow judges Gwen, Blake Shelton and John Legend, and admitted it was a “really cool” experience.
She said: “They’re such incredible artists I feel almost embarrassed that they sang my song. But it was really cool. We did like one quick 15-minute rehearsal [during lunch], which was cool because we didn’t have time to overthink things. The next day we performed it, we ran over it a few times and then we [filmed] it.”
Meanwhile, Camila recently revealed she originally auditioned for ‘The Voice.’
The 25-year-old pop star initially found fame on ‘The X Factor USA’ in 2012 as part of girl group Fifth Harmony before going on to a solo career, however, she actually attended auditions for the rival talent show she now serves as a judge on.
She said: “The truth is – I actually did audition for ‘The Voice’. I’m not even sure I can say the story. I did make it in the producer round, not the TV round. I never auditioned for the coaches!”
The ‘Don’t Go Yet’ hitmaker went on to explain that she eventually decided not to continue with ‘The Voice’ because she was a big fan of boy band One Direction – who were put together on the British version of ‘The X Factor’ – and hoped to meet them.
She told Access Hollywood: “And then I was like, I really wanted to meet One Direction, and I knew that they were gonna perform for ‘X Factor’. So I was like, ‘I’m just gonna risk it and not do ‘The Voice’ and audition for ‘X Factor.’ And then I did end up meeting One Direction! It was a pretty wild move!! It’s like it was a magnet though, I was meant to be back.”

OHMYGOSSIP — Selena Gomez is ditching “sad-girl songs” to have some “fun” with her new music.
The chart-topping star – whose last studio album was 2020’s’ ‘Rare’ – has revealed she is switching things up with the overall mood of her next project.
Asked if more new tunes are on the way following the release of the single from her Apple TV+ documentary of the same name, ‘My Mind and Me’, Selena told ‘The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon’: “That’s accurate. “Finally.”
The ‘Only Murders in the Building’ star has been recording in New York.
She teased: “I’m so used to writing sad-girl songs.
“But I’m ready to have some fun and I think people are going to like it.”
Recently asked when fans can expect new music, she replied: “Hopefully next year.”
The 30-year-old singer-and-actress also teased that it’s about time she played some shows for her fans.
Asked about a tour, she replied: “Maybe! I know. I should, right?”
Last year, Selena vowed to never quit music, despite previously saying she was considering retiring as she didn’t feel like she was being taken seriously.
She said at the time: “It’s hard to keep doing music when people don’t necessarily take you seriously.
“I’ve had moments where I’ve been like, ‘What’s the point? Why do I keep doing this?’ ‘Lose You to Love Me’ I felt was the best song I’ve ever released, and for some people it still wasn’t enough. I think there are a lot of people who enjoy my music, and for that I’m so thankful, for that I keep going, but I think the next time I do an album it’ll be different. I want to give it one last try before I maybe retire music.”
Speaking about her tell-all documentary, she added: “By being fully honest and transparent about what I walked through, there’s nothing that they can say that honestly will affect me.”
