OHMYGOSSIP — Louis Tomlinson would be “happy” to just keep on touring.
The 30-year-old singer – whose new album ‘Faith In The Future’ is due out on November 11 – admitted everything else in his career a “bonus” as long as he gets to “travel the world” performing his songs.
He told Metro newspaper’s Guilty Pleasures column: “I’ll be a happy lad if I can do plenty more tours. Anything else that comes outside of that is a bonus.
“If I continue to sell my tours and have the shows that I’ve had, be lucky enough to travel the world, I’ll me made up.”
However, he does have other goals too and he joked he’d like to move into collaborations with food brands.
He quipped: “Maybe my own pot noodle. It’d ahve to be some kind of individual flavour.”
The former One Direction star recently revealed that he enjoyed recording ‘Faith In The Future’ much more than his debut solo record.
Speaking about his approach to recording the album, Louis said: “I’ve enjoyed the process 20 times more than the first album.
“There was just so many different opinions on the first album and me trying to find my feet coming out of a band the size of One Direction, so there was just so much going on in my head.”
The ‘Just Hold On’ singer also admitted that he still feels under pressure as a solo artist.
The singer enjoyed phenomenal success as part of One Direction, but he confessed that he’s still establishing himself as a solo artist.
Louis – who starred in the chart-topping band alongside Niall Horan, 28, Liam Payne, 29, Harry Styles, 28, and 29-year-old ex-member Zayn Malik – said: “There’s still pressure obviously for me to deliver a good record … and me trying to find my feet coming out of a band as big as One Direction.”

OHMYGOSSIP — Lewis Capaldi will release new single ‘Forget Me’ on September 9.
After a three-year break, the 25-year-old singer/songwriter is returning with a new single and he premiered it live on TikTok during a concert in London this week.
He told fans: “It’s been a while since I released new music, a very long time, three years in fact, but thankfully on 9 September that changes.
“Next week I release my first single from this next album. It’s called ‘Forget Me’, so that’s good news. As well as that, I am going to play that song for everybody here tonight.
“I am showing 20,000 people my song for the first time. I’m very nervous. No one has heard any of this music apart from you all here tonight.”
Lewis previously told fans at Latitude that he was “lazy” and had no new music to play for them.
He said: “I rescheduled a lot of shows last year because I was like, ‘Guys, I need to finish my new album’.
“And I was supposed to do it, but I am horribly lazy. So we’re just going to play you all of the old stuff, because it’s all we’ve got.”
And, Lewis has admitted that he is “terrified” about the follow-up to his debut album, ‘Divinely Uninspired To A Hellish Extent’.
He said: “I’d be lying if I said I haven’t been terrified about making my next album since the moment I finished ‘Divinely Uninspired To A Hellish Extent’.”

OHMYGOSSIP — Matt Bellamy’s son got him into Slipknot.
The Muse frontman has revealed his 11-year-old son Bingham – who he has with ex-fiancée Kate Hudson – loves to blast the heavy metal group’s music on the way to school, and the Corey Taylor-fronted band ended up partially inspiring the tone of the heavier tracks on Muse’s new album ‘Will Of The People’, including ‘Won’t Stand Down’ and ‘Kill Or Be Killed’.
Matt found them “intense” at first but started to appreciate the “amazing” guitar playing upon closer listening.
He said: “They’re a band I should have mentioned earlier.
“Obviously I’ve known about them for a while but I’ve never really given them a good listen.
“My son has just become a huge Slipknot fan out of the blue.
“I’ll be driving him to school and he’ll be blasting that out.
“I’d be doing my best to deal with that, but the more I listened, the more I realised how amazing the guitar playing was.
“I think one of them (Jim Root) uses an Orange (amp).
“So we used a little Orange on those two heavier tracks.”
The ‘Plug In Baby’ rocker added to Total Guitar magazine: “I’d never say we were trying to sound like Slipknot – there’s nothing you can do to sound like that band, because they are just so unique and unbelievable.
“But I feel like we’ve rediscovered them in the last year.
“I remember when the first album came out (self-titled, 1999) way back when.
“I remember listening to that a fair bit and eventually lost track.
“I went to see them play in a stadium in LA not long ago and it was just so intense … there’s nothing like that.”

OHMYGOSSIP — Dave Grohl choked back tears as the Foo Fighters paid tribute to late drummer Taylor Hawkins.
The 53-year-old rocker became emotional at Wembley Stadium on Saturday (03.09.22) while singing ‘Times Like These’ as the band played their first gig since Taylor passed away at the age of 50 in March.
The star-studded six-hour concert featured appearances from Sir Paul McCartney, Queen, AC/DC and Liam Gallagher and Grohl paid a poignant tribute to his “bandmate” and “brother” at the start of the show.
The musician said of Taylor: “For those of you who knew him personally, you know that no one else can make you smile, or laugh or dance, or sing like he could, and for those of you that admired from afar, I’m sure you’ve all felt the same thing.”
Dave explained that Taylor’s love for music helped create the extraordinary line-up for the concert – which also featured video tributes from Sir Elton John and Stevie Nicks and appearances from the likes of Nile Rodgers and Chrissie Hynde.
He told the crowd: “When we first started talking about putting something together for Taylor, we sat down and we said even if it’s his closet friends, that’s like 100 f****** musicians.
“Because Taylor loved to jam and record with anybody and everybody. He loved to play music every day. And there aren’t too many people that he’s never jammed with.
“So this collection of friends and family and musicians, this is all brought together by him and we’re all connected here today by that one guy.
“Bringing musicians that have never met, musicians that have never played together, all in one place, all at one time, with all you beautiful people to make f****** noise for Taylor Hawkins.”
Several musicians filled in for Taylor on the drums, including a poignant appearance from his 16-year-old son Shane who performed ‘My Hero’ with the Foo Fighters.

OHMYGOSSIP — Glen Matlock is playing bass on Blondie’s new album.
The Sex Pistol stepped in for bassist Leigh Foxx, who was absent due to a back injury, on the ‘Heart of Glass’ hitmakers’ April 2022 UK and US tour.
And now, it’s been revealed that the 66-year-old musician is playing bass on their follow-up to 2017’s ‘Pollinator’, too, while Leigh recuperates.
Speaking to Classic Pop magazine, guitarist Chris Stein said: “Glen has just been great. Unlike ‘Pollinator’, we’re mostly keeping this album in-house: it’s just the band and Glen playing on it.
“He’s fitted right in.”
Bandleader Debbie Harry and co kept busy writing new music amid the coronavirus lockdown when their tour was delayed.
Speaking in 2020, drummer Clem Burke said: “We are working with each other on new material. We wanted to start recording but lockdown stopped that.
“Really we have been creating new music to keep ourselves sane. You can do so much over the internet. We’ve been collaborating around the world. We have a great working relationship.”
Blondie released the six-track soundtrack EP, ‘Blondie: Vivir En La Habana’, last summer.
To accompany the Rob Roth-helmed short film documenting their iconic 2019 live debut performance in Havana, Cuba, the group dropped the mini album featuring special guests Carlos Alfonso, Ele Valdés and María del Carmen Ávila of Cuba’s Síntesis.
The collection includes performances of ‘Heart of Glass’, ‘Rapture’ and renditions of ‘The Tide is High’ and ‘Wipe Off My Sweat’.
Debbie said: “We had wonderful Cuban musicians join us for the performances – vocalists, percussionists, horn players – they added a terrific level of excitement to our songs. On ‘The Tide Is High’, Síntesis vocalists Ele Valdés and Maria del Carmen Avila sang with me and did the original harmonies that John Holt had put on the song, it was incredibly beautiful. Latin music has always been part of the feel of New York, so it was amazing to finally be able to put a very personal touch on the heartbeat of Cuba. VIVA!”
‘Pollinator’ featured contributions from the likes of Johnny Marr, Sia, Nick Valensi from The Strokes, and Charli XCX.

OHMYGOSSIP — Gary Barlow talks to his dogs at the end of his one-man show.
The Take That frontman is currently appearing on London’s West End with the show ‘A Different Stage’, in which he narrates the story of his life accompanied by the music from his career, and revealed that he converses with his pooches Cooksy and Hugo when he returns home as part of his post-show ritual.
Gary, 51, told The Sun newspaper: “After I finish, I usually just stay here and warm my voice down.
“Then, usually, by the time we’ve got out of here, said hello to everyone waiting outside, I head home and sit and talk to the dogs for a bit.”
The star revealed that the new theatre project is unlike anything he has previously done and he is embracing the “thrill” of starring in the show.
Gary explained: “Performing solo is always very different from being in the band.
“However, this is different than even my usual solo work. It’s like nothing I’ve done before.
“All I can describe it as, is it’s like you’re driving a really fast car and you’re not a very good driver. That’s how it feels.
“But somehow, I’m keeping this car on the road. It’s thrilling – every single night.”
Gary has promised that Take That will be returning in 2023 with a new album and tour as the ‘Back for Good’ hitmakers – also comprising Mark Owen and Howard Donald – have been focusing on solo projects this year.
Speaking on ‘The Zoe Ball Breakfast Show’ on BBC Radio 2, he said: “So there’s a lot of Take That stuff coming up in the future. And just to answer your question properly, yes, we’re back together next year.
“Brand new music coming your way.”

OHMYGOSSIP — Ozzy Osbourne is to play his first US show in almost four years.
The Black Sabbath rocker has taken time away from the spotlight as he dealt with his Parkinson’s disease diagnosis and spinal problems, but he’s now set to make a comeback by performing at the Los Angeles Rams’ half-time show at the SoFi Stadium in Inglewood, California on September 8 to kick off the next NFL season.
Ozzy is believed to be preparing a multi-song medley for the performance at the game between the Rams and the Buffalo Bills which comes just a day before the release of his new album ‘Patient Number 9’ which drops on September 9.
It’s going to be Ozzy’s first performance in the US since he appeared at the AMA Awards in November 2019 when he joined Post Malone and Travis Scott to perform their track ‘Take What You Want’.
Ozzy recently performed at the Commonwealth Games in the UK and has insisted he plans to hit the road once again for another tour.
He told The Observer: “I’m saying to you I’ll give it the best shot I can for another tour. You have not seen the end of Ozzy Osbourne, I promise you. If I have to go up there and die on the first song, I’ll still be back the next day.” Ozzy has relatively mild symptoms of Parkinson’s disease, but he still struggles with walking. The music icon likened his experience of the disease to “walking around in lead boots”. He said: “You think you’re lifting your feet, but your foot doesn’t move. I feel like I’m walking around in lead boots.”
The ‘Paranoid’ star suffered a fall at his Los Angeles home while he was battling pneumonia in 2019 and at one point in time, he was left contemplating the worst. He told the newspaper: “It got so bad that at one point I thought: ‘Oh God, please don’t let me wake up tomorrow morning.’ Because it was f****** agony.” Ozzy was diagnosed with Parkinson’s disease in February 2019, which he publicly revealed in January 2020.

OHMYGOSSIP — Matty Healy has quashed rumours of a 1975 feature on Taylor Swift’s upcoming album, ‘Midnights’.
A “fake” track-listing circulated online sparking a frenzy among Swifties and fans of the ‘Chocolate’ group after their band name was listed alongside the song ‘In My Dreams’.
However, the frontman took to his Twitter page to deny the collaboration exists, writing: “I would love that! But unfortunately FAKE NEWS.”
Grammy winner Taylor, 32, announced her new album will arrive on October 21 during an appearance at the MTV Video Music Awards last month, and while she has unveiled the artwork, she hasn’t officially shared the track-listing.
Matty previously revealed he missed an opportunity to ask Taylor to collaborate with him – but believes “she will do it” eventually.
The ‘I’m In Love With You’ singer was inches away from the US pop superstar at the NME Awards in 2020 but admitted he didn’t have the nerve to “pitch his post-rock Joni Mitchell project” to her.
He recalled at the time: “I went over to her. I was like, ‘Taylor, we need to make the record.’
“No, I didn’t. She said hello to every single person. Obviously, it’s Taylor Swift so everyone was saying hello.
“She was just stood behind me.
“I mean, I haven’t seen Taylor in years so it was actually a really nice room.
“But it, unfortunately, wasn’t the time for me to pitch my post-rock Joni Mitchell project to [her].
“She’ll do it. She’ll do it. She’s smarter than both of us, mate. She knows what she’s up to.
“I mean, I mean she’s got stuff like ‘Lover’ knocking around as well, which she was already making. We think that she’s going back there. That song’s good.”
The 33-year-old singer previously revealed he wants to produce an acoustic album for Taylor.
Matty would love to see her return to her country roots and record a stripped-back record – though he doubted that it will ever happen.
He said: “Taylor Swift doing an acoustic record?
“I can’t think of a record that would sell more than that.
“Like, Taylor Swift’s intimate return to country.
“Of course, you’d wanna produce that!
“She’s [probably] gonna sit on that idea, but Taylor, if you ever want someone to help you set up the mics for your acoustic record, just so you know, I’m there.”
He also took to Twitter to suggest the idea of the ‘ME!’ hitmaker covering songs by Joni Mitchell and Bruce Springsteen.
He wrote: “Taylor Swift. With an acoustic guitar. Doing her ‘Nebraska’. Doing her ‘Blue’. Kill me (sic)”

OHMYGOSSIP — Yungblud’s next album is synth-heavy.
The ‘Funeral’ rocker is already working on his fourth record, the follow-up to last week’s self-titled LP, and it’s influenced by synth pioneers Joy Division and post-punk icons The Smiths.
Speaking to the Daily Star newspaper’s WIRED column, Yungblud – whose real name is Dom Harrison – said: “I’ve already started on album four which has a lot more synths, it’s very Joy Division with a bit of The Smiths, definitely more in that direction.
“That’s where I’m going because album four is very much with ambition to headline festivals all over the world.”
The 25-year-old musician’s latest LP is deeply personal, hence being named ‘YUNGBLUD’.
He explained: “In the past my music has been an uncensored representation of the f****** world and what I believe about the world, even if I disagree with myself later.
“It’s always about that person’s story, sexuality, politics, Brexit etc.
“This album is very much about the ‘I.’
“‘I think I’m going mad.’
‘I’ve been dancing at the funeral.’
“And it’s allowing people to put those words in their mouths.”
The ‘Fleabag’ star – who is set to play three legendary Los Angeles venues in one night on September 8 for the ‘YUNGBLUD: Occupy The Strip’ event – recently insisted he wishes not to be “defined” as he compared himself to the likes of the late, great David Bowie and Lady Gaga.
He said: “I’ve heard, ‘Yungblud’s saving rock music, Yungblud is a punk and Yungblud is a queer icon’.
“Well, I’m not. I’m just f****** me. Like David Bowie and Lady Gaga, I can’t be defined. Yungblud is about freedom and I am finally free after making this album.”

OHMYGOSSIP — Kanye West has revealed his “favourite song” on Beyoncé’s ‘Renaissance’.
The rap legend has been sharing some of his favourite tunes with his 17 million Instagram followers, including the track ‘Church Girl’ on the ‘Halo’ hitmaker’s latest LP.
He captioned a screenshot of the song on a streaming service: “Favorite song on Beyoncé album.”
The ‘Stronger’ hitmaker previously appeared alongside the former Destiny’s Child star and her rapper husband Jay-Z on 2011’s ‘Lift Off’.
The 45-year-old star also hailed DJ Khaled’s star-studded ‘God Did’ joint “song of the year” with his own track ‘Wait 4 U’ with Drake and Future.
He wrote: “Song of the year next to Wait For You.”
The track features Rick Ross, Lil Wayne, Jay-Z, John Legend and Fridayy.
The praise comes after John spoke of the “strain” placed on his relationship with Kanye – who legally changed his name to Ye – over their differing political views.
Elsewhere, Ye dubbed WizKid’s ‘Essence’, featuring Justin Bieber and Tems, the “best song in the history of music to date.”
The ‘Good Morning’ star has been very vocal on social media over the past few days.
He also lashed out at the “crazy” people who don’t understand him.
Kanye shared a message on Instagram, insisting he “won’t back down” from his strong opinions on his children’s schooling or his businesses, just days after he posted and deleted a string of messages about his former wife Kim Kardashian and her family.
He wrote: “Here is the through line. Gap having meetings about me without me Adidas releasing old shoes and coloring my shoes like I’m dead me not having a say on where my children go to school.
“Call me whatever names you want. If you don’t understand why I won’t back down on my businesses my brands and my children then you’re the ones who are crazy.”
The message came after Kanye posted a series of messages online which appeared to be part of a disagreement with Kim over where to send their four children – North, nine, Chicago, four, Saint, six, and Psalm, three – to school with Kanye suggesting he wanted the kids to attend the institution he founded, the Donda Academy.
In one of the notes posted online, Kanye wrote: “It’s not up to Calabasas or Hulu where my kids go to school I’m not the crazy one here It’s up. I won’t stop until I have a say so on my kids no matter what it legally takes.”

OHMYGOSSIP — Bastille feel “super privileged” to be a chart-topping band and still lead normal lives.
The pop group – comprising Dan Smith, Kyle Simmons, Will Farquarson and Chris ‘Woody’ Wood – catapulted into the limelight in 2013 when their debut album ‘Bad Blood’ shot to the top of the charts, and they’ve insisted from the very start they never set out to seek fame.
Speaking to Southampton’s community-run site In Common, frontman Dan said: “That’s been a preoccupation of ours, right from the beginning.
“We never expected to be a mainstream band. Obviously we wanted people to listen to our music and come to our shows, but we didn’t think we’d ever be in the charts. When ‘Pompeii’ and the first album blew up, it was such a shock and it didn’t feel that real, and I think it was a preoccupation of ours to sort of separate that from our actual lives.”
Fortunately, the ‘Happier’ hitmakers can largely go about their daily lives without people stopping them in streets.
Dan continued: “We weren’t on the TV at all, we didn’t do that much press, we weren’t in people’s faces, but a lot of people heard our music. I think ten years down the line, we feel super privileged to have a bunch of songs that a lot of people know, but we can also live pretty normal lives and people have no idea that it’s us.”
Kyle added: “It’s always quite difficult getting that line right between success and fame.
“Obviously, we want to be successful in what we do. We’re really happy and proud of the things that we release, all things that get made, through the music, the visuals and everything, but obviously to gain that level of success, a certain amount of fame or notoriety comes with it and it isn’t something we’ve ever courted.”
Woody added: “Ultimately we’d rather the band name was the face, rather than any of us was the face.”

YUNGBLUD – whose real name is Dom Harrison said: “Some of the most iconic artists have played shows at these venues on the strip.

It’s going to be insane, and I can share it with my family all over the world via the livestream. Get all your mates together and celebrate the new record with me! It’s gonna be mad.”

OHMYGOSSIP — Sam Fender says getting to play in his hometown is the “pinnacle of everything.”
The 28-year-old pop star – who hails from North Shields near Newcastle-upon-Tyne in North East England – is due to play a gig at St James’ Park in June 2023 and admitted the chance to play at his hometown’s football stadium is “beyond his wildest dreams.”
He said: “When me and my band started five years ago, we used to dream about playing St James. We used to say to each other ‘Imagine if our music got to the place where we could play St James. That was the pinnacle of everything and we didn’t know where we would go from there. That stadium is a church for us, so this show is beyond our wildest dreams! Being the first Geordie to headline there too, it’sjust like ‘Holy sh***!'”
The ‘Seventeen Going Under’ hitmaker went on to tease that a couple of local celebrities may be joining him for the gig but is hesitant to give too much away at this stage.
He told the Daily Star newspaper’s Wired column: “I don’t want to confirm anything that then doesn’t happen, but I’m sure there will be a couple of celebrity guests. We will have loads of treats for everyone!”
Sam also wants to incorporate his local pub Low Lights Tavern in North Shields into the show but admitted there is usually about “a hundred” fans waiting for him outside and struggles to go anywhere these days without being asked for a selfie.
He said: “It’s tough going to Low Lights after a show in Newcastle. Everyone assumes that’s where I’ll go after a show so there tends to be a hundred people waiting outside. Potentially, it’d be great to have Low Lights involved, but it always ends up being like a festival after our shows.
“I can’t really go anywhere without there being a shower of selfies.”
Tickets for the gig go on sale on September 9 via samfender.com.

OHMYGOSSIP — Gorillaz are to release their new album in February.
Damon Albarn and Jamie Hewlett’s animated band – made up of cartoon band members Murdoc Niccals, 2-D, Noodle, and Russel Hobbs – will drop their eighth studio album ‘Cracker Island’ on February 24, 2023, a follow up to their 2020 release ‘Song Machine, Season One: Strange Timez’.
The album will include the titular track, which features Thundercat, as well as songs with Stevie Nicks and Bad Bunny.
Gorillaz and Stevie, 74, joined forces for the album’s second track, ‘Oil’, while Bad Bunny teamed up with the virtual group for tune ‘Tormenta’.
The final track, ‘Possession Island’, features Beck, while new single ‘New Gold’, featuring Tame Impala and Bootie Brown, is also part of the record.
Gorillaz played ‘New Gold’ live when they headlined All Points East music festival in London last month.
Kevin Parker of Tame Impala and Bootie joined the group on stage.
This comes after Gorillaz announced the release of single ‘Cracker Island’ in June, after performing the track on their current world tour.
They posted a teaser clip on social media, which featured the caption: “Cracker Island is coming… Pre-save now. #thelastcult.”
Last year, the ‘Feel Good Inc.’ hitmakers released the three-track EP ‘Meanwhile’, featuring AJ Tracey, Jelani Blackman and Alicai Harley.
Damon has previously teased a collaboration of sorts with Sir Paul McCartney.
The 54-year-old musician revealed last year that he recorded music with the legendary Beatles star and he hopes to use it on a future Gorillaz LP.
He said: “I have a recording of Paul and myself that I could use for a Gorillaz track. It could easily fit on a Gorillaz album. It’s a very simple, basic recording but I would never release it without talking to him first.”
Damon went on to insist that the recording is not a full track but praised Paul, 80, as “one of the most special pop musicians”.
He said: “[I don’t want to say I have] a track with Paul, because I don’t, but I could definitely work with him. He is one of the most special pop musicians ever.”

‘Cracker Island’ track list:

1. Cracker Island [ft. Thundercat]

The 1985 hit has had a resurgence after it topped the charts in the US, UK and beyond, 37 years after it was released.
It was all thanks to it going viral on TikTok after being featured in hit Netflix show ‘Stranger Things’.
And, for the first time, fans can now buy the single in the format.
Meanwhile, this week saw Kate top Spotify’s Songs of Summer List for 2022.
The 64-year-old singer’s pop classic was played 45 million times over the summer in the UK and was discovered by 90 million new listeners worldwide.
In a press release, Spotify said: “Topping the UK’s list is none other than Kate Bush with the revival of her 1985 track ‘Running Up That Hill (A Deal with God)’ which saw more than 45M plays by Brits. Just like a Stranger Things portal to the Upside Down.
