The Chemical Brothers postpone Cork gig due to COVID cases within band and crew

OHMYGOSSIP — The Chemical Brothers cancelled their Cork concert due to COVID-19 cases within the band and crew, two days before their Glastonbury set.
The iconic electronic duo – comprising Tom Rowlands and Ed Simons – have postponed their show at Musgrave Park in Cork, Ireland on Thursday night (23.06.22) until 2023 as a precaution after positive tests for the virus within their camp.
A social media statement read: “The Chemical Brothers are sorry to announce they have had to reschedule their show at Musgrave Park, Cork, Ireland on Thursday June 23rd, 2022, due to Covid in band and crew. The show will be rescheduled to 2023. A further announcement on rescheduled date will be made in due course.”
The ‘Galvanize’ hitmakers haven’t said if they will still be playing Glastonbury on Friday (24.06.22).
The pair are due to play underneath the Arcadia spider at the Worthy Farm extravaganza in Somerset, England from 11pm.
The Chemical Brothers previously insisted there’s nowhere more “exciting” to play than Glastonbury.
The ‘Hey Boy Hey Girl’ hitmakers had a “religious experience” when they saw Orbital perform at the festival in 1994, and after being booked for their 12th appearance in 2019, they insisted they enjoy the gig just as much as they did the first time round.
Ed said: “We both had a religious experience [seeing Orbital]. I still get tingly when I think about it. We wanted to do that.
“It’s still to be the most exciting concert you can play.”
The pair broke records in 2000 by performing in front of what was believed to be the largest crowd in the festival’s history but can barely remember the show, so try now to take in the moments much more.
Tom said: “Early on you think everything’s going to last forever, whereas now you think, realistically, how many more times are we going to get to do this amazing thing? You become more aware of it.”
The pair have a busy summer ahead and will headline London’s All Points East in August.
In 2019, the duo released their ninth studio album, ‘No Geography’, their first since 2015’s ‘Born In The Echoes’.

Ed Sheeran’s tiring dressing rooms chats

OHMYGOSSIP — Ed Sheeran admits he finds it “knackering” gassing to everyone in his dressing room before going on stage.
The ‘Bad Habits’ hitmaker, 31, says he prefers to have some alone time before his shows these days.
The father-of-two – who is currently on his ‘Mathematics Tour’ – is quoted by The Sun newspaper’s Bizarre column as saying: “I really wanted to build a dressing room under the stage because I used to really buzz off 50 people in my dressing room before a show.
“But the older I get, it is just knackering when you are catching up with someone you haven’t seen for, like, three years.
“Then you have to catch up with someone else and then someone else and then go and do the show.
“So I was just going to say to people my dressing room is under the stage, so I’m going to roll with that.”
The flame-haired pop star recently became a father for the second time.
Ed and his wife Cherry Seaborn have Lyra Antarctica, who was born in August 2020, and a second daughter who arrived in May.
And the ‘2Step’ singer previously admitted his idea of a “perfect evening” is being in bed by 8.30pm.
Ed has ditched his rock-and-roll lifestyle since becoming a dad, and when he’s not on tour, he likes to stick to a strict 9-5 workday, so he and his other half can be tucked up in bed nice and early.
Speaking last year, he said: “The other night my wife was in LA and we had a Mexican takeaway and were in bed at 8.30pm. It was like the perfect evening.
“My work now is very structured. I work 9 to 5. I go into work at 9am and finish at 5pm, no matter what.
“Some producers work mad hours and I say to them, ‘If you don’t show up at 9am or between 9am and 10am, I am off’. We are either working or not working.
“I wanted to be present then after six months, I wanted to get structure in. It was really wholesome.”

Louis Tomlinson registers 4 new tracks for second solo LP

OHMYGOSSIP — Louis Tomlinson has registered four new songs for his second solo album.
The 30-year-old singer – who shot to fame in One Direction – has been hard at work on his follow-up to 2020’s ‘Walls’, and has co-written a bunch of tracks with former ‘Fame Academy’ winner David Sneddon and Hurts’ Theo David Hutchcraft.
According to listings on PRS and ASCAP, the songs are: ‘Silver Tongues’, ‘Pre-tender’, ‘Saturdays’ and ‘She Is Beauty, We Are World Class’.
David went on to co-write hits for huge stars, including Lana Del Rey, Lewis Capaldi and Hurts, after winning the first series of BBC One music competition ‘Fame Academy’ back in 2002.
There is still no official release date or title for the LP, though it has been claimed it could arrive before the end of the year.
A source told The Sun newspaper’s Bizarre column in February: “Louis has been working really hard and the music sounds great. So far, about half to three-quarters of the album is done. Hopefully it will be out by the end of the year, but Louis is keen not to rush things for the sake of it.
“Fans will genuinely love what he’s come up with. It’s his best work yet.”
Louis previously admitted that some songs on his first album were “truer to [him] than others” and with album two he wants to ensure he’s “owned” everything he’s trying to say.
He explained: “I’m very, very excited. I had basically pencilled down a plan before corona took over our lives. And now it’s kind of given me a little bit of time to really get into what I want to say and what I want things to sound like. Because, you know, I was really proud of my first record, but there were moments that I felt were truer to me than others. I think that there were some songs where I took slightly more risk and owned what I love, saying, ‘This is who I want to be’. So I want to take a leaf out of their book.”

Red Hot Chili Peppers support ASAP Rocky at their headline show after rapper is late

OHMYGOSSIP — A$AP Rocky was so late to his support gig that headliners Red Hot Chili Peppers had to perform first.
The 33-year-old rapper was due to follow opening act Thundercat at the ‘By The Way’ rockers’ concert at Manchester’s Emirates Old Trafford on Wednesday evening (22.06.22).
But as he was running so behind schedule, Anthony Kiedis and co were forced to play his slot, meaning the ‘Praise The Lord’ hitmaker ended up becoming the headliner, much to the dismay of RHCP fans.
One gig-goer tweeted: “A$AP Rocky has somehow just ruined a Red Hot Chili Peppers gig.”
Another wrote: “Been going to gigs for 30 odd years and never seen anything like it. Many disappointed fans. Bizarre end to the night.”
The 50,000 crowd members were given notice of the swap on signs in the venue, which read: “Due to unforeseen circumstances, A$AP Rocky will now play immediately after the Red Hot Chili Peppers.”
The late show comes after the hip-hop star – who recently welcomed his first child with long-time partner Rihanna – was granted bail for $550,000 after he was arrested in connection with a shooting.
Rocky – whose real name is Rakim Mayers – was detained by police when his private plane flew into Los Angeles International Airport on April 20 in relation to an alleged incident that took place around 10.20pm on November 6, 2021.
His attorney, Alan Jackson, confirmed his client had been arrested by Los Angeles police.
The victim reportedly told cops the ‘Everyday’ rapper was walking with two others in the street when he approached him with a handgun. The unnamed victim alleged the rapper shot at him three or four times, and believed one of the bullets had grazed his left hand.
According to ET Canada, Rocky was released at 3.27pm PT after posting bail.
LAPD Public Information Officer Lee told the outlet: “Yes, he was released.”
Rocky had been in Barbados with his then-pregnant girlfriend Rihanna but it was unclear if the ‘Diamonds’ hitmaker was with him when he returned to the US from his vacation before he was arrested.

Pink Floyd announce physical single release

OHMYGOSSIP — Pink Floyd have announced a physical release of ‘Hey Hey Rise Up’.
The ‘Comfortably Numb’ hitmakers brought out the Ukraine benefit single – their first new song in 25 years – digitally in April but they have now announced it will be available on both a seven-inch vinyl and on CD on 15 July in the UK, Europe and other markets, followed by 3 August in Japan.
However, fans in North America, Canada, Australia and Mexico won’t be able to get their hands on a copy until 21 October.
The B-Side to the track will be a reworked version of ‘A Great Day For Freedom’, which first appeared on the group’s 1994 album ‘The Division Bell’ but has been reimagined by David Gilmour based on the original tapes for the song.
David – who has Ukrainian family – explained the band wanted to draw attention to Russia’s invasion with the song and raise money, with all proceeds going to Ukrainian Humanitarian Relief.
He said in a statement: “We want to express our support for Ukraine and in that way, show that most of the world thinks that it is totally wrong for a superpower to invade the independent democratic country that Ukraine has become.
“We, like so many, have been feeling the fury and the frustration of this vile act of an independent, peaceful democratic country being invaded and having its people murdered by one of the world’s major powers.”
The song also features drummer Nick Mason, bassist Guy Pratt and keyboardist Nitin Sawhney, as well as a recording of Andriy Khlyvnyuk – the singer of Ukrainian band Boombox – who can be heard singing ‘The Red Virburnum’ in Kyiv.
In March, Pink Floyd and David removed their music from streaming services in Russia and Belarus in a show of support for Ukraine.
David said at the time: “Russian soldiers, stop killing your brothers. There will be no winners in this war.”

Sir Paul McCartney to play 800-capacity Glastonbury warm-up gig

OHMYGOSSIP — Sir Paul McCartney is set to play an 800-capacity Glastonbury warm-up show in Frome, Somerset this evening (24.06.22).
The Beatles legend had tickets for the once-in-a-lifetime gig made available on a first-come, first-served basis, with fans invited to queue up at the Cheese and Grain venue to purchase a ticket for just £25.
Within an hour of throwing open the doors at 5pm on Thursday (24.06.22), they’d sold out.
The set promises to be “an afternoon full of wonderful surprises”.
On the venue’s website, it was announced: “In 24 hours time from now Paul McCartney will be performing live, here in Frome, at the Cheese and Grain.
“What an incredible opportunity to watch Paul warm up for his Glastonbury headlining performance this weekend.
“What an amazing treat … we are told this won’t be his normal set either so should be an afternoon full of wonderful surprises.”
Over the years, the tiny venue has paid host to huge acts, including Foo Fighters, Fatboy Slim and Robert Plant.
McCartney, 80, is set to make history as the oldest solo headliner of Glastonbury when he closes the Pyramid Stage at Worthy Farm on Saturday night (25.06.22).
The ‘Let it Be’ hitmaker last played the world-famous music festival in 2004.
McCartney was due to perform in 2020 for Glastonbury’s 50th anniversary, before the event was called off due to the COVID-19 pandemic.
It’s been reported that the ‘Eleanor Rigby’ hitmaker is planning a virtual duet with late bandmate John Lennon.
On his recent ‘Got Back’ tour of the US, McCartney performed a rendition of the Beatles classic ‘I’ve Got A Feeling’ from 1970’s ‘Let it Be’ and was able to sing with his late friend – who was assassinated, aged 40, in December 1980 – when footage from Peter Jackson’s ‘Get Back’ docu-series beamed on a big screen behind him.
He told the crowd: “Peter Jackson said: ‘I can pull John’s voice out if you’d like me to.'”

Taylor Swift releases new song Carolina

OHMYGOSSIP — Taylor Swift has released her new song ‘Carolina’.
The song is featured in the upcoming movie version of ‘Where the Crawdads Sing’ – the 2018 murder mystery novel by American author Delia Owens.
The flick stars 24-year-old ‘Normal People’ actress Daisy Edgar-Jones, and is produced by 46-year-old actress Reese Witherspoon.
The ‘You Belong With Me’ singer wrote the track “alone” in a bid to authentically channel the “loneliness and independence” of the female lead.
Taylor tweeted: “About a year and a half ago I wrote a song about the story of a girl who always lived on the outside, looking in. Figuratively and literally. The juxtaposition of her loneliness and independence. Her curiosity and fear all tangled up. Her persisting gentleness and the world’s betrayal of it.”
The lyrics include, “You didn’t see me here” and “There are places I will never go to / Things that only Carolina will ever know.”
She then produced it alongside long-time friend and music collaborator Aaron Dessner.
The pair co-produced the Grammy winner’s critically-acclaimed eighth and ninth studio albums, ‘folklore’ and ‘evermore’.
The ‘cardigan’ singer previously teased alongside a clip of the song: “I wrote the song ‘Carolina’ alone and asked my friend @aarondessner to produce it. I wanted to create something haunting and ethereal to match this mesmerizing story.”
Pointing fans to the trailer, she wrote: “You’ll hear it fully soon, but for now check out the @crawdadsmovie trailer for a clip!”
The ‘Blank Space’ singer also discussed her love for the novel the film is based on, in addition to praising both Daisy and Reese.
Taylor added: “Where The Crawdads Sing is a book I got absolutely lost in when I read it years ago. As soon as I heard there was a film in the works starring the incredible @daisyedgarjones and produced by the brilliant @reesewitherspoon, I knew I wanted to be a part of it from the musical side.”
‘Carolina’ is available on all major streaming platforms.

Billie Eilish: I owe 95 per cent of my career to Sir Paul McCartney and The Beatles

OHMYGOSSIP — Billie Eilish says she owes “95 per cent” of her music career to fellow Glastonbury headliner Sir Paul McCartney and The Beatles.
The ‘Lost Cause’ hitmaker will become the youngest artist to headline the legendary music festival’s Pyramid Stage tonight (24.06.22), while the ‘Yesterday’ hitmaker, who plays Saturday night (25.06.22), is the oldest solo headliner at the age of 80.
Billie admits it’s “bonkers” that she is headlining the same festival as her idol.
In a one-off print edition of NME magazine to celebrate her history-making set, she said: “It doesn’t matter how old you are, where you’re from, what you look like or who you are: you can do this s***.
“My name next to theirs and being on the same level as them … it’s bonkers. I remember Kendrick headlined a festival I went to when I was 14, and I couldn’t believe he was headlining this small festival because he was so huge. And now I’m headlining the same festival as him and Paul McCartney … are you kidding me? The Beatles were what raised me. My love for music I feel 95 per cent owes to the Beatles and Paul. It’s insane to think about.”
The ‘bad guy’ hitmaker was booked to play the John Peel Stage in 2019, but she ended up playing The Other Stage, the second biggest stage, following her meteoric rise to global superstardom.
And while her set went down a storm with festival-goers, the ‘Happier Than Ever’ singer was actually contending with a number of technical glitches.
Billie recalled: “It was a quite busy time in my life, but after the fact I realised how big a deal it was and was like, ‘Oh, s***!’”
She continued: “It was a real mixed show – so many things weren’t working, so many technical issues that were just driving me mad.
“It’s really hard. You’ll be on stage during a show and think, ‘This is the worst show I’ve ever done’, but the crowd could care less; they’re just happy to be there.”

Selena Gomez: Begeistert von Britney Spears‘ Hochzeit

OHMYGOSSIP — Selena Gomez ist der Meinung, dass “alle Menschen, die Britney Spears lieben”, bei ihrer Hochzeit anwesend waren.
Der ‘Only Murders in the Building’-Star war unter den Gästen, als die ‘Toxic’-Hitmacherin Anfang dieses Monats in ihrem Haus in Thousand Oaks in Kalifornien, mit Sam Asghari den Bund fürs Leben einging, und obwohl niemand aus der unmittelbaren Familie der Braut anwesend war, bestand Selena darauf, dass bei der Zeremonie all diejenigen dabei waren, denen das Glück des Stars wichtig ist.

In einem Interview mit ‘Entertainment Tonight’ enthüllte die Musikerin: “Ich glaube, es war ein Tag der Liebe und ich will nichts mehr als Glück für sie. Ich denke, dass alle Menschen dabei waren, die sie lieben, und das war alles, was zählt.” Die 29-jährige Darstellerin wurde bei der Hochzeit von Stars wie Paris Hilton, Drew Barrymore und Madonna begleitet. Auf die Frage, ob sie eines der Memes der Hochzeit des Stars im Internet entdeckt habe, lachte Gomez und verriet: “Das habe ich nicht, nein.” Während vor der Hochzeit darüber berichtet wurde, dass Britneys Eltern Jamie und Lynne Spears und ihre jüngere Schwester Jamie Lynn Spears nicht eingeladen waren, wurde zunächst angenommen, dass ihr Bruder Bryan unter den Gästen sein würde. Nachdem jedoch die Partnerin ihres Bruders, Amber Lynn Conklin, behauptete, Bryan habe die Hochzeit verpasst, um an der Abschlussfeier seiner Tochter teilzunehmen, beharrte die ‘Gimme More’-Hitmacherin darauf, dass sie ihren Verwandten nie eingeladen hatte.

Say You’ll Be There: Melanie C has a ‘good feeling’ Victoria Beckham would play Glastonbury

OHMYGOSSIP — Melanie C has hinted the Spice Girls could play Glastonbury in the future, and is hopeful Victoria Beckham will agree to the “dream” gig.
The iconic 90s girl group – also comprising Mel B (Scary), Geri Horner (Ginger) and Emma Bunton (Baby) – reunited for a tour in 2019, without Victoria, but Sporty Spice has a “good feeling” that Posh Spice would say yes to playing the legendary music festival.
Speaking to BBC Entertainment Correspondent Colin Paterson live from the festival in Somerset, England, where Melanie played a DJ set on Thursday (23.06.22), she said: “It’s the dream, the absolute dream, yeah, we would love to do it … You know what, the girls and I, we have chatted about it. You know, it’s the biggest stage in the world, we have the best festival in the world right here.”
Quizzed on whether they could persuade the fashion designer to do Glasto with them, she replied: “Hmm, I have a good feeling.”
The 48-year-old star has made no secret of the fact she would love the ‘Say You’ll Be There’ hitmakers to play Glastonbury, they just need a call from organisers Emily and Michael Eavis.
The ‘Who I Am’ singer previously urged fans to start a petition to campaign for them to be booked for the festival.
Speaking on the ‘Reign with Josh Smith’ podcast last year, she said: “I don’t think we’ve been asked in all honesty, we haven’t been asked to do it, but I do believe it could be the thing that would see all five girls on stage. So should we start a petition?”
Watch and hear Glastonbury festival coverage across the BBC this weekend on TV, Radio, BBC Sounds and BBC iPlayer.

The Chemical Brothers cancel Glasto set as Tom Rowlands recovers from COVID-19

OHMYGOSSIP — The Chemical Brothers have pulled out of Glastonbury as Tom Rowlands recovers from COVID-19.
The electronic music duo – completed by Ed Simons – were due to play under the Arcadia spider at Worthy Farm this evening (24.06.22), however, after Tom and members of their crew tested positive for the virus this week, it was anticipated that they may have to miss their set.
Now, the ‘Galvanize’ hitmakers have confirmed they have been forced to axe the performance much to their “frustration”.
In a social media statement, they said: “We are very sorry to announce that we won’t be DJing at Arcadia this evening at Glastonbury.
“We were so excited to be back in the fields and to celebrate the return of the festival, as we were to be playing in Cork on Thursday night. We were hoping that more days of rest would allow Tom to recover from Covid, this hasn’t so far been the case.”
They promised to update fans about their York concert on Sunday (26.06.22).
“We are hoping that Tom will recover in time to play the scheduled Castle Howard show in York on Sunday and will update with progress as soon as possible via our social channels.
“We share the disappointment and frustration at not being able to do what we do with all of you.’
“Love is all, Tom and Ed.”
They had already cancelled their Cork concert due to the COVID-19 cases, two days before their Glastonbury set.
They announced: “The Chemical Brothers are sorry to announce they have had to reschedule their show at Musgrave Park, Cork, Ireland on Thursday June 23rd, 2022, due to Covid in band and crew. The show will be rescheduled to 2023. A further announcement on rescheduled date will be made in due course.”
The Chemical Brothers previously insisted there’s nowhere more “exciting” to play than Glastonbury.
The ‘Hey Boy Hey Girl’ hitmakers had a “religious experience” when they saw Orbital perform at the festival in 1994, and after being booked for their 12th appearance in 2019, they insisted they enjoy the gig just as much as they did the first time around.
Ed said: “We both had a religious experience [seeing Orbital]. I still get tingly when I think about it. We wanted to do that.
“It’s still to be the most exciting concert you can play.”
The pair broke records in 2000 by performing in front of what was believed to be the largest crowd in the festival’s history but can barely remember the show, so try now to take in the moments much more.
Tom said: “Early on you think everything’s going to last forever, whereas now you think, realistically, how many more times are we going to get to do this amazing thing? You become more aware of it.”
The pair have a busy summer ahead and will headline London’s All Points East in August.
