Neil Young snubs Harvest tour offer

OHMYGOSSIP — Neil Young turned down “millions” to tour his classic album ‘Harvest’.
The ‘Heart of Gold’ hitmaker doesn’t want to perform a retrospective show featuring his 1972 fourth LP in full because “everyone” who worked on the record with him has since died.
He said: “I was just offered millions of dollars for a tour to do ‘Harvest’.
“Everyone who played on ‘Harvest’ is dead. I don’t want to do that. How about planting instead of harvesting?”
Neil was joined by his band the Stray Gators when he made ‘Harvest’, but pianist Jack Nitzche passed away in 2000 and drummer Kenny Buttrey died in 2004. In 2010, pedal-steel guitarist Ben Keith also died, and final member, bassist Tim Drummond, passed away in 2015.
The 72-year-old singer admitted performing live is getting harder as he gets older but he’s not planning to retire.
He told AARP The Magazine: “I’d feel like Cher. Don’t retire unless you really aren’t interested. I’m interested.
“It hurts a little to play now where it didn’t before. I don’t hear quite as well as I did before. My voice is not like it was before.
“Show me something that is like it was before. I feel good about the future. The idea is, do not stop moving.”
Neil doesn’t think there’s any chance of a reunion for supergroup Crosby, Stills, Nash, and Young because while he still “loves” Stephen Stills and Graham Nash, he has a poor relationship with David Crosby.
He said: “Crosby should write an introspective book: ‘Why People Won’t Talk to Me Anymore.’ He made a lot of great music for a long time. I don’t know what happened with David. I got nothing to say.
“I love Stephen. I love Graham. If a reunion happens, it would be a surprise.
“I won’t close the door on anything. I can hold a grudge with the best of them but only if there’s a reason for it.”

Billie Eilish has two new songs on the way

OHMYGOSSIP — Billie Eilish has teased she is set to release two new songs.
The ‘bury a friend’ hitmaker recently took to her Instagram Stories and told her fans about the unheard tracks and confirmed a music video for ‘Xanny’ is on its way.
She said: “Yes, the ‘Xanny’ video is coming. Yes, I have two unreleased songs that are coming that you haven’t heard any of … Be patient, damn!”
Meanwhile, Billie recently admitted the thought of recording her second album “haunts” her.
The ‘bad guy’ singer has a sense of dread surrounding the prospect of creating new songs after the success of her first album ‘When We All Fall Asleep, Where Do We Go?’ left her questioning her love of music.
She said: “[My next album] haunts me.
“There was a period where I was like, ‘Do I even enjoy music?’ ”
Billie released her debut album LP in March 2019 and has spent the rest of the year touring the songs, but the 17-year-old artist insists the life of a pop star is not as glamorous as people might imagine.
In September, Billie sprained her ankle on stage at the beginning of a show in Italy, and was the victim of theft when someone stole one of her rings during another show in October.
She said: “It just felt like so much touring. And I don’t mean the shows. The shows are always my favourite part. But it was just travelling and being alone all the time, on a cold bus in Europe, horrible food, and when you come back everyone’s kind of moved on from you. This last tour I went on was the first I’ve ever enjoyed. I feel like I have this amazing thing that now I actually see.”
Despite Billie’s angst about her second studio LP, her singer/songwriter brother Finneas O’Connell revealed earlier this month that they are “deep” into the creative process of her second album.
Finneas spilled: “I’m writing the album now and I think the album’s all new. I think it’ll mirror ‘When We All Fall Asleep…’ in that sense that the EP had ‘Ocean Eyes’ and ‘Bellyache’ and then the album was just only album songs and no re-releases so we’re excited about that one.
“We’re deep into the creative process on new material for sure.”

Jonas Brothers announce original Christmas song

OHMYGOSSIP — The Jonas Brothers will release original Christmas song ‘Like It’s Christmas’ on Friday (08.11.19).
The ‘Sucker’ trio – comprised of brothers Joe, Kevin and Nick Jonas – announced they are taking a leaf out of ‘All I Want For Christmas Is You’ hitmaker Mariah Carey’s book by starting the festive season early with the new yuletide track.
Announcing the song on Instagram with the hand-drawn artwork featuring the three siblings in Father Christmas hats, they wrote: “Mariah Carey has given the world the green light, so the holiday season has begun!!! Our brand new original Christmas song #LikeItsChristmas is out on Friday people (sic)”
This isn’t the first Christmas song by the band, as they released ‘Girl of My Dreams’ as part of the ‘Disney Channel Holiday’ album in 2007.
The ‘Cool’ hitmakers are all about spreading cheer amongst their fans, but recently admitted they were “surprised” to realise their fans now get drunk at their shows.
The Jonas Brothers are currently on their ‘Happiness Begins’ tour, their first major concert series in six years, and they’ve tailored the gigs towards the audience wanting to be “tipsy” and have a “good time”.
Discussing how their audiences have changed, Nick said: “I think the thing that was most surprising to us when one of the first shows we did back was our fans were tipsy at the show, which was new for us – we never played our music to people drinking, necessarily.
“Now that is sort of the objective at the show. We’ve literally crafted the show with that in mind. People want to come have a good time.
“You know, happiness begins as an idea. It’s about seeing too much darkness and sadness in the world — why don’t we bring some light, some positivity? And for some that means coming to a good show and having a drink and enjoying themselves. We want to be able to be the people to provide that experience.”

Taylor Swift still draws stage designs for her own shows

OHMYGOSSIP — Taylor Swift still draws the stage designs for her own shows.
The ‘You Need To Calm Down’ hitmaker loves the “challenge” of putting together the artistic ideas that make up the elements of her huge productions and teased that she is “so intrigued” to see how her own upcoming ‘Lover Fest’ extravaganza will turn out.
Taylor – who has always included a moving platform that enables her to fly above her fans at her shows – said: “Reading back on the journal entries, I forgot how obsessed I was with the industry as a teenager.
“I was so fascinated by how it works and how it was changing.
“Every part of it was interesting to me.
“I had drawn the stages for most of my tours a year before I went on them.
“That really was fun for me as a teenager!
“A lot of people who start out very young in music, either don’t have a say or don’t have the will to do the business side of it, but weirdly that was so much fun for me to try and learn. I had a lot of energy when I was 16!”
Asked if she is doing the drawings for Lover Fest – which is in support of her latest LP ‘Lover’ – she told Music Week magazine: “Definitely. And that’s why it’s still fun for me to take on a challenge like, ‘Oh, let’s just plan our own festival’. Let’s create a bill of artists and try and make it as fun as possible for the fans. I’m so intrigued by what that’s going to be like.”
The ‘End Game’ singer announced two shows at SoFi Stadium in Los Angeles as part of the Lover Fest West on July 25 and July 26, 2020, and two shows at Gillette Stadium in Foxborough as part of the Lover Fest East on July 31 and August 1, plus additional dates in Europe and Brazil.
She said: “The Lover album is open fields, sunsets, + SUMMER. I want to perform it in a way that feels authentic. I want to go to some places I haven’t been and play festivals. Where we didn’t have festivals, we made some. (sic)”
The line-up is yet to be announced.

Harry Styles to make Glastonbury debut?

OHMYGOSSIP — Harry Styles has reportedly been offered a spot at Glastonbury next year.
The former One Direction star could become the first member of the boy band – which was also comprised of Louis Tomlinson, Niall Horan, Liam Payne and formerly Zayn Malik – to play the Worthy Farm festival in Somerset, England, as it’s rumoured festival organisers are keen for him to play the 50th anniversary event next June.
A source told the Daily Star newspaper’s Wired column: “Harry’s solo career is a huge departure from the pop stuff he did with One Direction. There’s a genuine respect for the music he’s making and festival organisers know he can pull in the crowds.”
The rumour comes hot off the heels of Harry announcing his second solo album ‘Fine Line’ – the follow-up to his 2017 self-titled debut.
So far, Diana Ross has been confirmed for the Sunday afternoon legend’s slot at Glastonbury, which takes place between June 24, 2020 and June 28, 2020.
Sir Paul McCartney recently hinted that he could be set to play the music extravaganza next year.
The Beatles legend last played the Pyramid Stage in 2004 and he admitted that he thinks the time has come for him to return to Worthy Farm, especially as his daughters Stella, 47, and Mary, 50, are keen for him to play the festival.
He said: “People are saying that it will be good if I did it, so I’m starting to think about whether I can or whether it would be a good thing.
“My kids are saying, ‘Dad, we’ve got to talk about Glastonbury’, and I think I know what they mean.”
McCartney, 77, insisted that nothing has been set in stone yet, but it’s definitely on the cards.
He added: “We played there quite a long time ago so maybe it is time to go back. I don’t know. I’d have to put a few things in place.
“It’s starting to become some remote kind of possibility. It’s definitely not fixed yet but people are starting to talk about it.”

Robbie Williams signs publishing deal and will release new album in 2019

OHMYGOSSIP — Robbie Williams has signed a new deal with Universal Music Publishing Group (UMPG) which will see him release his 13th studio album this year.
The ‘Rock DJ’ hitmaker has recently confirmed his debut Christmas album, ‘The Christmas Present’, will be released on November 22, and now it’s been announced that as part of his new contract with the music label, his follow-up to 2016’s ‘The Heavy Entertainment Show’ will be out before the end of 2019 as well.
The global administration deal with Robbie’s own publishing company, Farrell Music, includes all of his existing and future works.
UMPG UK’s Managing Director, Mike McCormack said: “It’s such a pleasure to be reunited with Robbie and his management team at ie: music after so many years.
“I first signed Robbie as a young, fresh faced member of Take That back in the early 90s when I was at Virgin Music and even then, he was a huge personality and a pleasure to work with. He’s gone on to become a global superstar and an incredible songwriter – so it’s a privilege to represent all these great songs and the new material he will be writing in the future.”
Robbie’s upcoming festive record features debuts with Tyson Fury, Bryan Adams, Sir Rod Stewart, his dad and his young daughter Teddy.
The 45-year-old singer asked the 31-year-old boxer to sing on ‘Bad Sharon’, a song about a “boozy office party”, and he said the heavyweight “smashed it” in the recording studio.
He said of the track: “That makes sense in some sort of universe! I got my residency in Vegas and while I was out there Tyson was fighting and he invited me into his dressing room, is it called a dressing room when you fight? I don’t know.
“And I asked him and he said yes and the song itself, ‘Bad Sharon’, is basically a boozy office party somewhere in the Midlands and it makes sense for Tyson, in that moment in my head, and to be fair he’s smashed it.”
Robbie was also delighted to have both Bryan and Rod record songs for the album because they have always been inspirations to him.
He said of the pair: “People that I know, people that I like and people that I’ve got captive audience with that can’t say no in that moment when you ask them to do it. It’s easier on emails to say no.
“That was like two years ago and they’d forgotten but I hadn’t…’ me again’. They’re both really lovely chaps, incredibly nice people, incredibly nice with me and I look up to them and they’re the people I’ve gone, ‘Right OK, what happens to your career when you get older, where do you go? How do you do it?’ And I watch them for inspiration.”
The ‘Angels’ singer – who will perform a festive show at the SSE Arena, Wembley, in support of the record on December 16, and is also playing Hits Live Manchester on November 17 and Magic of Christmas at the London Palladium on November 24 – teamed up with his father Pete Conway on ‘A Wonderful Life’ and his daughter Teddy, seven, has a small part on the track ‘Home’.

Liam Gallagher will keep making albums for as long as his fans want to hear them

OHMYGOSSIP — Liam Gallagher has vowed to keep making “rock ‘n’ roll” albums for as long as his fans want them.
The former Oasis star has released two number one solo records, 2017’s ‘As You Were’ and this year’s ‘Why Me? Why Not.’, and he also recently shared the title for this next LP, which he’s named ‘Come On You Know’.
And the ‘Shockwave’ hitmaker has ruled out ever changing direction, but said if his fanbase ever got tired of his music, he’d think twice about putting out another record.
Speaking to the Daily Star newspaper’s Wired column, Liam said: “I love doing what I do best. I like being in my comfort zone and I would never write a reggae album.
“I want to keep doing what I’ve always done.
“If people like this album, then I’ll make another one, if they don’t like it, well then we’ll see.”
Meanwhile, the 47-year-old rocker – who was honoured with the first-ever Rock Icon award at the 2019 MTV EMAs in Seville, Spain, on Sunday (03.11.19) – has admitted he believes if his eldest brother Paul Gallagher, 53 – who tours the world with his youngest sibling – was in Oasis with him and his estranged sibling Noel Gallagher, 52, he’d probably be a part of their long-running feud because they all have an “ego”.
He said: “Paul also has an ego.
“If he was famous and had loads of money, maybe he would be an a**e too.”
Liam recently admitted he thinks both he and Noel – who have not spoken since disbanding Oasis following a huge row in Paris in 2009 – need to own up to their mistakes.
He said: “He blamed everything on me. It would have been better if he had told the truth, that he wanted to try a solo career.
“Now he feels better than me, but he is exactly like me, he has the same faults as me, the world would be a better place if we both admitted to being two idiots.
“It was like when Johnny Marr threw Morrissey under the bus, or what Paul Weller did with The Jam. Noel threw me under a bus.”

Akon took a break to give other music stars the spotlight

OHMYGOSSIP — Akon says his break from music gave other artists the spotlight.
The ‘Lonely’ hitmaker went on a three-year hiatus before returning in February 2013 with the single ‘Dirty Work’ with Wiz Khalifa, and has admitted he took some time out to give other talented music stars their moment.
Speaking to the Daily Star newspaper’s Wired column, he said: “I gave some room for a lot of people to come in.”
Akon has transformed from a rapper to a Latin and Afrobeat singer, and recently released new Afrobeat record ‘AKONDA’, which is one of several albums he is putting out in 2019.
The first was the Latin LP ‘El Negreeto’, which was released earlier this month, and he then has a hip-hop and R&B album called ‘Konnect’ on the way, plus collaborative record ‘The Konnection’, set for release in December 2019, which will include guest artists such as Nicki Minaj, Pitbull and Ty Dolla $ign.
He added: “I’m so proud of the transition I made for myself than anything.”
Teasing his records, he said recently: “This year I’m dropping three albums back-to-back.
“I always wanted to do this.
“Everyone says it’s impossible.
“Well I’m putting out different albums of different genres: I’m putting out a Latin album, a hip-hop album and an Afrobeat album.”
Akon also admitted he finds the music industry much “easier” than it was 15 years ago, because streaming services such as Spotify and Apple Music make it so simple to get music out into the world.
He said: “I’m enjoying it a lot more now than I did back then. Back then it was a little different because we worked harder.
Today is actually easier, because of the platforms and how the digital age kinda caught up to music and technology.”

Will Young and James Morrison to co-headline Kew the Music 2020

OHMYGOSSIP — Will Young and James Morrison will co-headline Kew the Music in 2020.
The ‘Leave Right Now’ hitmaker and the ‘You Give Me Something’ singer can’t wait to share a stage at the annual summer concert series at the iconic Royal Botanic Gardens in London on July 10.

The Who’s Pete Townshend made to feel a ‘prat’ by band’s wild antics

OHMYGOSSIP — The Who’s Pete Townshend says his “rock and roll” antics made him feel like a “prat”.
The ‘Baba O’ Riley’ guitarist – who was notorious for smashing his instrument to pieces on stage – has admitted he could be “pretty snobby” when it came to his and his bandmates’ wild ways, and he actually felt that when he and late drummer Keith Moon used to throw television out of hotel windows, it was a real “waste of time”.
In an interview with The Big Issue magazine, the 74-year-old musician confessed: “I was always pretty snobby about rock and roll.
“As the television went through the window, I would look at Keith Moon and go, ‘what a f***** prat. What a waste of time’.
“Then, two or three times I did the same thing and I would think, ‘what a f****** prat’.”
However, the former arts student – who is one of the two only surviving members of the iconic rock band, along with frontman Roger Daltrey – admitted that he wouldn’t have changed their instrument-thrashing days, because it’s how he made people “listen” to him.
He added: “I was in it for the art.
“I felt we should confine our antics to the stage.
“Getting into auto-destruction was straight out of art college.
“People still say that I should never have smashed instruments.
“F*** off. It is how I got you to listen to me.”
The ‘My Generation’ hitmaker also admitted that he feels like his “generation”, of “the hippy era” in the 60s, could have used their “power” to achieve greater social changes, but instead they turned to psychedelic drugs to block out feeling like they “had nothing to live for”.
He explained: “My generation felt disenfranchised.
“That is a complex word for feeling like we had nothing to live for.
“It made us not so much angry as loose.
“We were loose-living. And when psychedelic drugs and more importantly the pill came along, away we went.
“Then we took power. But I think we misused the power to a great extent. The hippy era could have turned into something much better than it did.”

Posthumous George Michael single This Is How to be released this week

OHMYGOSSIP — A posthumous George Michael single will be released on Wednesday (06.11.19).
The estate of the late music icon has given permission for the new track, ‘This Is How’, to be used for the soundtrack to the forthcoming film ‘Last Christmas’ – a festive romantic comedy inspired by the music of George and his former band Wham!.
BBC Radio 2 will give the single its first play on ‘The Zoe Ball Breakfast Show’ on Wednesday (06.11.19).
Zoe said: “I was, and am, a huge Wham! and George Michael fan and even though he is no longer with us, his music remains a joy to us all.
“I’m honoured to be premiering this previously unheard song from George on my ‘Breakfast Show.'”
Jeff Smith, Head of Music, Radio 2 and 6 Music, added: “‘Ever since they burst into the pop charts in 1982 with ‘Young Guns’, the music of both Wham! and George Michael has been loved by Radio 2 listeners, so I’m thrilled that they will be the first to hear this very special record.”
The soundtrack will feature three Wham! songs, including ‘Last Christmas’ and ‘Everything She Wants’, plus 12 of the ‘Careless Whisper’ hitmaker’s solo songs.
The idea for the film – which is directed by Paul Feig and stars the likes of Emilia Clarke, Henry Golding and Michelle Yeoh – came to be after producer David Livingstone had a conversation with Dame Emma Thompson, a close friend of George, about his love of Wham!’s festive 1984 hit ‘Last Christmas’.
The Oscar-winner – who co-wrote the screenplay – then received George’s seal of appeal for the film when she visited him at his London home in 2013.
Sadly, the ‘Fastlove’ hitmaker tragically passed away on Christmas Day 2016 at the age of 53.
Emma said recently: “[George] was just the loveliest guy you could imagine. [He loved] all of these themes in the movie; he was passionate about homelessness, and he had this great social conscience.
“I got really enthused and we started to write, and then – of course – he had that tragic early death in 2016, on Christmas Day.
“So we lost him, and I miss him so much. I wish he was here because I know he’d love it, because the film’s like being hugged, and all of his music – we’ve got 15 of his songs, including a new one at the end – is so cool.
“The wisdom and emotional scope of George’s lyrics have always amazed me. So many feel like they were written for the movie.
“After I met George and experienced his compassion and understanding up close, I realised that in fact the movie was written for those lyrics.”
‘Last Christmas’ hits cinemas on November 15.
‘This Is How’ will be premiered on ‘The Zoe Ball Breakfast Show’ which airs weekdays from 6.30am.

Harry Styles to release new album on December 13

OHMYGOSSIP — Harry Styles will release his second album on December 13.
The One Direction star began his solo career in 2017 with the release of his self-titled debut album, and he has now announced the follow-up record, titled ‘Fine Line’, will be released next month.
In a tweet posted alongside what appears to be the album’s artwork, the ‘Sign of the Times’ hitmaker wrote: “FINE LINE . THE ALBUM . DEC 13 (sic)”
Last month, Harry released new track ‘Lights Up’, which came as the first song he had released since his debut album.
Harry also shared the video to the song, in which he is largely shirtless and grinds and dances with other scantily-clad people, with the whole group soaking wet.
Other shots in the video include the singer alone in a house and on the back of a motorcycle.
The track was produced by its co-writers, Tyler Johnson and Kid Harpoon.
Meanwhile, the ‘Carolina’ singer recently revealed he was “nervous” playing his new album for his friend Stevie Nicks.
He said: “It’s a double-edged thing. You’re always nervous when you are playing people music for the first time.
“You’ve heard it so much by this point, you forget that people haven’t heard it before. It’s hard to not feel like you’ve done what you’ve set out to do.
“You are happy with something and then someone who you respect so much and look up to is, like: ‘I really like this.’ ”
Stevie has described the highly anticipated follow up LP as “spectacular”, and she claimed it is a world away from the music he made with One Direction – and indeed from the material on his first standalone effort.
She said: “It’s not like his last album. It’s not like anything One Direction ever did. It’s pure Harry, as Harry would say. He’s made a very different record and it’s spectacular.”

JoJo Siwa becomes youngest headline act at The O2 Arena

OHMYGOSSIP — JoJo Siwa has become the youngest ever headline performer at London’s O2 Arena.
The 16-year-old Nickelodeon superstar and YouTube personality took to the stage at the iconic London venue on Sunday (03.11.19) as part of her ‘D.R.E.A.M’ tour, and in doing so became the youngest headline performer the venue has ever had.
In recognition of the milestone, JoJo received a First Time award from The O2.
Marc Saunders, Programming Manager at The O2, said in statement: “It was great to see JoJo Siwa perform her first show at The O2 as part of her D.R.E.A.M. tour. She is now officially our youngest ever headliner to take to the arena stage at just 16 years old, and brought an incredibly colourful and energetic show to the venue. We hope to see her back here in the future.”
JoJo rose to fame when she competed on American dance reality series ‘Abby’s Ultimate Dance Competition’ in 2013, where she finished in the top five.
She then joined Abby Lee Miller’s dance competition in 2015, and subsequently appeared on the Lifetime reality show ‘Dance Moms’, which follows the team, between 2015 and 2016.

My Chemical Romance thank fans for support amid comeback

OHMYGOSSIP — My Chemical Romance didn’t expect such a warm reaction to their comeback announcement.
The American rock band – which features lead vocalist Gerard Way, guitarists Ray Toro and Frank Iero, and bassist Mikey Way – recently announced plans to reform for a reunion gig, and after their comeback show sold out within minutes, the band took to Twitter to thank the fans for their support.
The post read: “It is truly unbelievable to us the happiness we have experienced over the past two days. From the bottom of our hearts, thank you for the warm welcome back. We truly did not expect this. See you soon. Xoxo, MCR. (sic)”
The upcoming show will mark the band’s first performance together since 2012, and comes almost a decade after their last album, ‘Danger Days: The True Lives of the Fabulous Killjoys’, which was released in 2010.
However, earlier this year, frontman Gerard ruled out the prospect of getting back together with his bandmates.
At the time, he explained: “We definitely get offers regularly to reunite – it’s a constant thing … It’s flattering, it’s really nice of people … I miss playing with the guys, but I don’t think so.”
Gerard, 42, also admitted one of the reasons why the ‘Na Na Na’ musicians split up was because they’d stopped having “fun”.
He said: “You get caught up in this trap of ‘Is it ever gonna be good enough?’
“It wasn’t fun to make stuff any more. I think breaking up the band broke us out of that machine.”
