OHMYGOSSIP — Niall Horan’s split with Hailee Steinfeld inspired his new album.
The 26-year-old singer/songwriter is preparing to release his second solo record and admitted that many of the songs were inspired by his heartbreak over his split from Hailee, 22.
He told Billboard: “Going through heartbreak helped write the ballads, even some of the happy songs – the sad songs that are dressed up as happy songs sometimes. Also, touring. Experiencing touring and being on stage every night, getting that buzz off the crowd and being with fans who have paid their well-earned money to come and watch only you – you learn a lot about yourself, you learn about what people want to listen to.
“I have stuff that I want to write about on my mind all the time. I had just gone through a break up, which helps when it comes to writing songs, I guess. It helps vent the emotions.
“I am just ready to go! The album is fun. There are some very sad moments, but for the most part it is a fun album. There are some nice melodies in there, some cool guitar riffs. I think my fans are going to enjoy it.”
And Niall also revealed that his sultry new single ‘Nice To Meet Ya’ was inspired by a brief flirtation he had with a woman during a night out.
He said: “The lyrics came about from a half-true story. I was out one night and locked eyes with this girl. We got chatting, and she was with a group of her mates and I was with a group of my mates. It felt like every time I turned around – like the lyric says – she just kind of disappeared. But then over the course of the same night, in different bars around that same area, we would bump into each other. It’s a song that is basically like a movie that is based on a true story, and then you start changing stuff that makes the song start to sound a little bit more interesting.”

OHMYGOSSIP — Billie Eilish would be “doing some reckless s***” if she hadn’t become a global pop star.
The 17-year-old singer started her music career when she was barley a teenager and she has admitted that people would have probably been “able to dig up dirt” about her past if her fame came to her later on in life as she would have got up to some mischief in her youth.
Appearing on ‘The Howard Stern Show’ on Monday night (30.09.19), she said: “Because it happened when I was 13, a part of me feels like I didn’t miss getting to be a teenager, like a normal one.
“More and more I get grateful for it happening that young.
“I feel like if it happened later, people would be able to dig up dirt from when I was that age.
“If this hadn’t happened at that age, I would be doing some reckless s***.”
The ‘Ocean Eyes’ hitmaker also admitted that she thought people wouldn’t like her hit singles ‘bad guy’ and ‘when the party’s over’ and now she has no idea how to approach her new music.
She admitted: “I don’t know what people want anymore.
“I thought people would hate ‘bad guy’ and I thought people would hate ‘when the party’s over.’ So I don’t know what to do now.”
Billie previously admitted she “can’t stay famous forever’.
Whilst she wants her career to be successful, she admits she’s looking for a ”weird balance” because she also dreams of having a quiet ”life” away from public scrutiny.
Speaking about chats she’s had with her brother and collaborator, Finneas O’Connell, she said: ”We can’t have this be the rest of our lives. We were talking about it the other day, we’re just like, ‘I’m 17, dude.’ I can’t have my life exactly like this forever, and he can’t either. He’s just become an adult. He just got a house. He has a girlfriend and wants a dog. You know what I’m saying?
”It’s a weird balance, because I want to grow in my life, and grow up and have a life. But I already have my career.”

OHMYGOSSIP — Yungblud has delayed the release of his new EP ‘The Underrated Youth’ by a week.
The ‘Loner’ rocker has decided to push the mini album’s release back from October 11 to October 18, because there is one song which he thinks still requires some tweaking and he wants to make sure it’s “perfect” for his loyal fans.
Explaining his decision to delay the project in a video posted on Instagram, the 22-year-old star – whose real name is Dominic Harrison – said: “Yo what’s going on? So I was in the studio last night listening to the EP, and it occurred to me that one of the songs isn’t quite right yet. “And I’ve got a bit of a favour to ask you.
“I just want to keep it real with you guys, and I just wanna ask if I can have one more week on the EP. If I can push it back to the 18th from the 11th – just because I want everything that I release and give to us and make a part of our history to be absolutely perfect. “And one of the songs, I don’t think is yet.”
Yungblud is however going to put out a new song next week, which he teased is “mental”, to make it up to his fans.
He added: “So I’m sorry to anyone who’s going to be well disappointed but I promise you it’s coming out on the 18th, and I will be dropping something next week, and its going to be mental, to make up for it.
“It’s going to be crazy. I love you all man, and I can’t wait for you to hear this music, I think it’s the best yet.”
This summer, the British star caused a stir on the River Thames in London with a live performance of the single ‘Hope For The Underrated Youth’.
The singer treated his fans to a performance on a boat before heading up the river to the Houses of Parliament, where lyrics from his politically-motivated single were projected.
He said: “The world right now tells us fall in line, it tells us what you’re allowed to care about, think about, even to the point what air you should f***ing breathe. Things are changing drastically, a lot of the time not for the better and it’s hard to watch. I meet so many young people everyday and the one common denominator I find is the constant fire to defy apathy and the optimism to do anything in your power to fight for a better, more equal world. This song is about freedom of speech. This song is about freedom of expression. This song is about the forward thinking, racism hating, LGBTQ+, liberal “sinners” that we all are. I see that there is hope for this “underrated youth” and I believe the future looks bright because we are in it.”

The track-listing for ‘The Underrated Youth’ is:
1. ‘Braindead!’
2. ‘Parents’
3. ”Original Me (featuring Dan Reynolds of Imagine Dragons)
4. ‘Casual Sabotage’
5. ‘Hope For The Underrated Youth’
6. ‘Waiting On The Weekend’

OHMYGOSSIP — Dua Lipa is heralding a “new era” with her second album.
The 24-year-old singer has been working on the follow-up to her self-titled debut record, which was released in 2017, for several months and not only has she now told fans she’s almost ready for them to hear new songs from her, she’s dyed her hair rose gold to signify the beginning of “DL2”.
She shared three selfies of her new look and wrote on her social media accounts: “A new era! Thank you for your patience. See you soon #DL2 (sic)”
On Instagram, Dua shared two plain black screens on either side of her post, which were captioned by the words “back” and “soon”, as well as black heart emojis.
The ‘One Kiss’ singer recently promised the whole of her new album would be “a party”.
She said: “I feel like you could dance through the whole record. There’s lots of nos­tal­gic ele­ments to it. There’s a sam­ple in there from the 1930s. It’s just a party.”
The ‘New Rules’ hitmaker is moving on from the sound of her first album, and teased the new music is a change of direction, but doesn’t think that’s a “risky” move to have made.
She added: “It would prob­a­bly be risky if I wasn’t risky with the next record. I don’t think it would be as fun if I tried to recre­ate the first record. As an artist, you con­stant­ly want to grow and change your per­spec­tive and try some­thing new.”
Dua already knows “exactly” what kind of record she wants to make for her second studio venture, and whilst she won’t spill too many details about the album’s content, she says she’s recorded “50 or 60” songs.
The ‘New Love’ singer said: “Before I started, I knew my album title. I knew exactly what I was going to be making. There are some songs that are happy, some about heart­break, some about deal­ing with your life in public.”

OHMYGOSSIP — Sir Elton John has extended his ‘Farewell Yellow Brick Road Tour’ again.
Due to overwhelming demand, the ‘Rocket Man’ hitmaker will now play two extra dates at London’s The O2 on November 2, 2020, and December 17, 2020, and he’s also added a slew of extra dates across Europe.
The music legend will now play Cologne on September 5, Hamburg on September 12 and September 13 and and two consecutive nights in Berlin staring on October 17.
He’ll also be heading to Scandinavia where he will perform in Stockholm on September 18, Helsinki on the September 22 and 23 and Oslo on September 26 and 27.
And the ‘I’m Still Standing’ hitmaker has added two shows in Barcelona on October 2 and October 3, and he’ll also perform in Dublin on December 5.
The 72-year-old icon has surpassed 100 shows so far on his ever-extending final jaunt across the globe.
Elton’s mammoth tour has been nothing short of spectacular, with Taron Egerton even duetting with the music legend on ‘Your Song’.
The 29-year-old actor – who plays Elton in the blockbuster musical biopic ‘Rocketman’ – joined the ‘Crocodile Rock’ hitmaker for a spellbinding rendition of the 1970 hit at Hove’s County Ground in East Sussex, England, in June.
And the first night of the UK leg of the run drew in a star-studded crowd, with the likes of Rag’n’Bone Man, BBC Radio 2 presenter Zoe Ball and comedians David Walliams, Alan Carr and John Bishop in attendance.
Elton – who is bowing out of tours to spend more time with his sons Zachary, eight, and Elijah, six, whom he has with husband David Furnish – admitted that the concerts on British soil mean the most to him.
He said: “This tour will take me to a lot of places that hold a special place in my heart, but the UK shows will be amongst the highlights of the entire tour.
“The UK is where my heart is, and it will always be home.
“To get the opportunity to celebrate some of the incredible moments we’ve shared over the years with my British fans will be very special indeed.
“These homecoming shows will be emotional, but a lot of fun.”
Tickets for the new UK shows go on general sale on October 10 at 10am from Theo2.co.uk, AXS and Ticketmaster.co.uk

OHMYGOSSIP — David Baddiel and Frank Skinner made just £837 from the royalties of their classic football song ‘Three Lions’ last year.
The popular tune – which was penned by Baddiel, Skinner and Lightning Seeds frontman Ian Broudie in 1996 – made the abysmal amount despite being streamed 5.6 million times during the 2018 FIFA World Cup tournament in Russia, when England beat Colombia 4-3.
Baddiel told the Daily Star newspaper: “I didn’t make that many royalties. People go on about the royalties, honestly you don’t make money from music any more.
“On the day England played Colombia there were around 5.6 million streams of ‘Three Lions’ – from which we earned £837 or something.
“I mean really it’s not a lot of money.
“I’m OK. I made a bit back in the day but for young people trying to start off in the music business it’s f***ing terrible.”
The chart-topper was also rewritten as ‘Three Lionesses’ in support of the England Lionesses ahead of the FIFA Women’s World Cup 2019.
The two comedians gave their permission alongside The FA for the song to be tweaked in a special commission by Lucozade Sport, as part of the sport drink’s support of women’s football.
The updated version included the names of members of the England Lionesses.
The original Three Lions, such as Gary Lineker, Nobby Stiles, and Bobby Moore were replaced by Lionesses Steph Houghton, Jordan Nobbs and Jade Moore.

OHMYGOSSIP — Fatboy Slim will never go grime or do “more drum and bass” even though his son wants him to modernise his sound.
The ‘Praise You’ hitmaker has revealed 18-year-old Woody Cook – whom the DJ has with his ex-wife Zoe Ball – keeps asking him to step out of his comfort zone and channel his inner Stormzy or Chase & Status, but he’s not interested because he doesn’t think he can “do a good job” making and mixing that kind of music.
The 56-year-old record producer – whose real name is Norman Cook – told the Daily Star newspaper’s Wired column: “My son is really into grime and drum and bass and I’m going, ‘OK, that’s not what I do.’
“My ­son goes, ‘Dad, why don’t you play more drum and bass?’ and I’m like, ‘Cause I’m not really into it and I wouldn’t do a good job..'”
Despite recently admitting he is aware “the clock is ticking” on his music career, Norman insisted that when you are playing in dingy clubs and late-night festivals, it doesn’t matter if you are going “grey and bald”.
He said: “If you’re in a boy band, your career’s over in your mid-20s.
“Once you get out there in the dark, no-one can really see, so you can get as grey and fat and bald as you want.”
The ‘Right Here, Right Now’ hitmaker feels lucky that he is still successful but after more than 35 years in the industry, he knows that he does have a “sell-by date” and success won’t last forever.
He said earlier this year: “I’m just at a point in life where I’m kind of tremendously enthralled that I’m still allowed to do this but aware that in terms of shelf life and sell by dates the clock is ticking.
“So, I’m trying to cram in all the things that I haven’t done yet.”
The ‘Weapon of Choice’ star said he sometimes gets “jaded” by his work because he’s been doing it for so long.
He added: “I can occasionally get jaded about my musical career as I have been doing this for 35 years.”

OHMYGOSSIP — BTS have vowed to stick around for at least another 10 years.
The K-pop superstars – V, J-Hope, RM, Jin, Jimin, Jungkook and Suga – announced an extended break from the spotlight on August 12, but recently returned to work after a “period of rest”.
And the ‘IDOL’ hitmakers have reassured their fanbase that they aren’t planning to go anywhere anytime soon and will keep performing for as long as their “bodies hold up”.
Jimin told The Hollywood Reporter: “We’re not really compelling each other to keep this going.
“It’s nothing like that. We just have so much fun together singing and dancing that we want it to continue.”
And Suga agreed: “As long as our bodies hold up, we’ll be doing the same thing in 10 years.”
The nominations for the 2020 Grammys will be announced in November, and the band say it would be “an absolute dream” to win a Grammy.
RM said: “When we were presenting [at the Grammys in 2019], we said that ‘We will be back!
“So hopefully we can keep our words. It would be an absolute dream come true. Just thinking about it is thrilling.”
The seven-piece continue their ‘Love Yourself: Speak Yourself Tour’ in Saudi Arabia on October 11.
Their record label Big Hit Entertainment confirmed a few weeks ago that the ‘Boy With Luv’ hitmakers are feeling “refreshed and recharged” after a much-need mini hiatus.
They said: “BTS has ended their period of rest and will be flying out today for a scheduled activity.”
Announcing their break, the label had said in a statement on social media:
“Hello. This is Big Hit Entertainment. We would like to announce that for the first time since their debut, BTS will be going on an official and extended period of rest and relaxation. Today’s LOTTE DUTY FREE FAMILY CONCERT performance will make the last scheduled event before members prepare to take their vacations. This period of rest will be an opportunity for the members of BTS, who have relentlessly driven themselves towards their goal since their debut, to recharge and prepare to present themselves anew as musicians and creators.
“This will also provide them with a chance to enjoy the ordinary lives of young people in their 20s, albeit briefly. During this time, the members will rest and recharge in their own personal ways. Should you have a chance encounter with a member of BTS while they are on vacation, we ask that you show consideration for their need to rest and enjoy their private time off. BTS will return refreshed and recharged to return all the love you have an continue to show them. Thank you (sic)”

OHMYGOSSIP — Snoop Dogg has announced a UK and Ireland tour for April 2020.
The ‘Drop It Like It’s Hot’ rapper released his 17th studio album ‘I Wanna Thank Me’ in August and he plans to support the record with a number of dates this side of the pond, kicking off on April 9 at Dublin’s 3Arena and concluding at Birmingham Arena on April 16.
The 47-year-old hip-hop legend will be joined by a number of his peers, Warren G, Tha Dogg Pound, Obie Trice and D12, at the shows.
‘I Wanna Thank Me’ was released to celebrate Snoop’s much-lauded 25-year career and was accompanied with a documentary of the same name.
Meanwhile, the ‘Gin and Juice’ hitmaker – who was inducted into the Hollywood Walk of Fame in 2018 – recently spoke about how he feels like he’s “always filling a void” in the music industry.
He explained: “It’s like I’m always filling a void.
“When I make music, I feel like it’s needed because there’s nothing like it that’s already out.”
The chart-topping icon also admitted his place in the landscape of rap music has changed over the years, conceding he’s not “that young, fly rapper no more”.
Speaking about the record, he added: “With this particular project, I was thinking to myself, ‘Where do I fit in the rap game?’ I ain’t that young, fly rapper no more. I’m like a great uncle to a lot of these rappers now.
“They’re sending me songs and trying to be a part of this too – so I’ve got to welcome that because they’re the future.
“They’re the ones who control the game right now. And for them to want to do records with me keeps me relevant, keeps me still in the realm when young kids hear my voice instead of ‘Who is that old-ass man rapping?! He needs to sit down somewhere with a cane, rest in peace.’ Hell no to the no no no!”
Tickets for the tour go on general sale on Friday (04.10.19) from nvite.com/community/snoopdogg

Snoop Dogg’s 2020 UK tour dates are:

OHMYGOSSIP — Ella Henderson wrote her collaboration with Jax Jones five years ago.
The ‘Ghost’ singer featured on the ‘This Is Real’ on the house producer’s 2018 EP ‘Snacks’ and Jax has revealed their friendship goes way back as his wife used to babysit the 23-year-old pop star.
Speaking to The Sun newspaper’s Bizarre column, he said: “My wife is from the same little village as Ella called Tetney in Lincolnshire. “And my wife used to babysit her.”
The pair are now teaming up on a music video for the track, which Ella says is “timeless”.
She said: “It just shows when you write something you’re super-proud of, those kinds of songs are timeless because we’re here five years later shooting a video for it. It’s mega-exciting.”
Ella recently announced her return to music with her first new music in four years.
The ‘Glow’ singer released the soulful title track from her upcoming EP, ‘Glorious’, her first on Rudimental’s Major Toms label, last month, and described the writing process as a “mind-cleansing” experience as she tackles “issues of self-doubt, body image and the fleeting nature of youth”.
She shared: “Writing ‘Glorious’ was a mind-cleansing moment for me, it represents the first time I truly began to start celebrating everything I used to live in fear of. “Learning to accept and love yourself for who you are can be difficult in this day and age.
“‘Glorious’ stands for everything we should feel about ourselves – empowered and proud.”
The EP will be released on November 8, and follows the Jax collaboration.
Ella was signed to Simon Cowell’s Syco after finishing sixth on ‘The X Factor’ in 2012, but despite seeing her debut album, ‘Chapter One’, go platinum her contract “mutually came to an end” in February 2018.
And she couldn’t be happier that she now gets to write songs that are her “complete, true self”.
She said: “I know it’s taken a little while but everything on this EP is from me and written by me and I’m so glad to be back out there with me as my complete, true self.
“I always take the positives out of everything. I was with Syco for a good six or seven years and it just mutually came to an end, like anything does in life. I’m still only 23.
“I had a few new things I set out to do, and I think if you want change then you’ve got to make change. I’m really happy and everyone else is happy. I think as long as I’m happy and motivated, that’s the main thing.”

OHMYGOSSIP — Ryan Tedder was “kidding” when he said Beyonce, Adele and Chris Martin have collaborated on a song.
The OneRepublic frontman – who has co-written tracks for both Adele and Beyonce – has admitted he was “utilising sarcasm” when he claimed that the two global superstars and Coldplay star feature on a track on his band’s upcoming LP ‘Human’.
Ryan had told New York radio station Z100 at the weekend: “The bottom line is, we do have an album’s worth of material, and that’s the good news.
“So we’ve been dropping song after song. [Recent single] ‘Rescue Me’ was kind of the first … getting the wheels turning again, and we have a lot more songs to come. We have one song featuring Beyoncé and Adele, with a Chris Martin piano solo in the bridge.”
The songwriter and producer co-wrote Beyoncé’s singles ‘Halo’, ‘XO’ and ‘I Was Here’, and worked with Adele on her tracks ‘Remedy’, ‘Rumour Has It’ and ‘Turning Tables’, so if anyone was going to produce a track with the two artists, it would more than likely be him.
However, when the interview was shared on social media, some users had already sussed that the ‘Stop and Stare’ hitmaker may have been joking about the all-star collaboration.
And he has now confirmed he was just having a “joke” with the reporter who asked if the record features any “cool” collaborations.
Dealing the disappointing news, Ryan wrote in a series of posts on his Instagram Stories: “Journalist: “any cool collaborations on the next @OneRepublic album? …. Me utilizing “sarcasm”, “kidding” and “joke”, simultaneously: “Ya, we have one song featuring Beyonce, Adele, and Chris Martin, but I don’t wanna talk about it or give too much away. (sic)”
He then wrote: “48 hours later”, and shared the news stories about the “collaboration”.
He added: “Come onnnnnn people! (sic)”

OHMYGOSSIP — Frank Ocean’s new music is inspired by nightclubs.
The 31-year-old singer has been looking at the “different iterations of nightlife” for ideas for his next batch of songs and has gathered together a diverse range of influences.
He told the new issue of W Magazine: “I’ve been interested in club, and the many different iterations of nightlife for music and songs.
“And so the things I look at now have a lot to do with those scenes: Detroit, Chicago, techno, house, French electronic.”
The ‘Chanel’ hitmaker would rather “lie” in music to produce a “full motion-picture fantasy” than lay his heart on the line.
He said: “In order for me to satisfy expectations, there needs to be an outpouring of my heart or my experiences in a very truthful, vulnerable way.
“I’m more interested in lies than that. Like, give me a full motion-picture fantasy.”
Frank generally works alone but has been enjoying working with other people in the studio and likes giving himself over to people who know more than he does.
He explained: “I like the parts of the process where I work with session musicians or with other record producers or featured artists and guest vocalists.
“I’ve been trying to make time to do more of that sort of thing, and be in spaces where I’m not the expert.”
When he began his career, Frank had no “attachment” to music but was focused on becoming financially better off in order to find his “freedom” and safeguard his future.
He said: “I remember feeling no attachment to music necessarily, more an attachment to what music could bring if I succeeded, you know financially. And that meant freedom from my situation at the time, and maybe what I was projecting onto my own future.”

OHMYGOSSIP — Christine and the Queens had a “panic attack” in the studio with Mark Ronson because she didn’t feel “worthy” enough to be working with him.
The ‘Gone’ singer – who prefers to be called Chris now – has opened up about how anxiety-inducing it can be working with pop music’s biggest stars and recalled the time she had to halt her session with the ‘Shallow’ hitmaker because she was so overwhelmed.
Chris told Cosmopolitan magazine’s November issue: “At one point I did a studio session with Mark Ronson, but I had a panic attack.
“I was like, ‘I’m not worthy of that. He’s going to think I’m so stupid.'” She told Mark: “We should do it again – see if I’m in a better place. I’m so shy. Sometimes I panic.”
The ‘Tilted’ hitmaker has also worked with pop star Charli XCX, who she praised as “super clever and kind”, on recent hit ‘Gone’ and said she has no problems channelling her “insecurities” into her lyrics.
Speaking about working with the ‘1999’ hitmaker, she said: “She’s super clever and kind. Sometimes I meet people who I admire and they’re not very kind but she’s a lovely person.
“She sent me the demo of ‘Gone’ and I was like, ‘Did you just send me an emo track? Do you want me to work on insecurities? I can do that. It’s my subject.'”
Despite being a huge star, the 31-year-old songwriter says she doesn’t live like a famous person hanging out with celebrities all the time.
She said: “I wish I could say I like to eat quinoa with Dua Lipa, but that’s not the case.”
The openly-pansexual star also opened up about how being in the spotlight can make it difficult to meet a lover and referenced the “immense loneliness” Madonna put across in her 1991 rockumentary ‘In Bed With Madonna’.
She said: “I will never know if someone really digs me or not.
“I remember watching a documentary – ‘In Bed With Madonna’ – and was fascinated by the immense loneliness of the figure that is Madonna.
“Is that my destiny?
“There is an element of loneliness that comes along with being exposed because people can’t always understand what you’re going through.
“I’m not super-optimistic [on finding love].
“I mean … I’m not dating Harry Styles. That would be weird. We’d look too much alike.”

OHMYGOSSIP — Mike Skinner felt “out of control” in The Streets.
The ‘Fit But You Know It’ hitmaker was just 33 when he retired his alias in 2011 after 10 years and five albums and he admitted he spent a lot of the time in the grips of “anxiety and paranoia”, before depression eventually set in.
He said: “Every day in The Streets was scary because you feel totally out of control.
“Anxiety, paranoia and general fear.
“That’s what my 20s were like.
“Whereas my 30s were closer to depression.
“It’s more, just, like…
“You try and push yourself through this feeling of existential depression.
“I’m not trying to say one is worse than the other.
“It just feels different.”
Mike – who has kids Amelia and George with his wife Claire – credits his family for not letting his problems spiral out of control.
He told Q magazine: “That keeps you busy.
“But what else are you going to do?
“I know some really f***ed people.
“They’ve too much time to worry.
“With kids, you can’t really get anxious.
“You never hear of parents getting mentally ill over their kids, do you?
“Like, they might become alcoholics. And fat. And get divorced.
“But you still have to hold it together if you are going to stick at the parenting game.”
Mike – who has resurrected The Streets – admitted he felt out of touch when he noticed his audience getting older at his gigs and felt disheartened by what he was doing.
He said: “When you’re young, it’s very clear who you think you are. “Other young people influence that.
“There’s a stage where you start to lose that identity and very gradually it’s just out of reach.
“Then you are kind of guessing or acting.
“It’s the curse of the producer, really.
“How do you stay connected to that instinct?”

OHMYGOSSIP — Billie Eilish always hoped her debut album would appeal to a broad audience.
The 17-year-old star released her debut record, ‘When We All Fall Asleep, Where Do We Go?’, earlier this year, and Billie has revealed she had a very clear ambition in mind whilst she was making the album.
She shared: “With the album, the one thing I was trying to do was, there were 14 songs on the album, and one of the goals I had was I wanted to make an album that I could put 14 people into a room that each had fully different tastes … and if I played them my album, each person would like at least one song.”
Billie is poised to embark on her ‘Where Do We Go? World Tour’ in 2020, and the chart-topping singer has promised it’ll be a “green” affair.
Appearing on ‘The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon’, she explained: “We’re trying to be as green as possible on the entire tour.
“So there’s no plastic straws allowed, the fans are gonna bring their own water bottles, there’s gonna be recycling cans everywhere. Because if something’s recyclable, it doesn’t matter unless there’s a recycling bin.”
Meanwhile, Billie recently confessed she has “always wanted” to be 18.
The ‘Lovely’ hitmaker will reach the milestone age in December and she can’t believe it’s almost come around.
She said: “18 has been, like, the age I’ve always wanted to be my entire life and here it is.”
