Jack White loves drumming

OHMYGOSSIP — Jack White loves playing drums more than anything else he does.
The 43-year-old musician has a number of positions in various different bands but he gets the most pleasure from being in The Dead Weather because he gets to play percussion.
He said: “I’m the drummer in [The Dead Weather] so it’s a totally different role for me. I get to be made fun of. Spat on.
“I gotta say, out of everything that I do, I probably enjoy playing drums the most of anything, recording or playing, because I grew up thining I was only going to be a drummer so that’s all I did my whole childhood and was all I cared about.
“Guitar was sort of like, ‘Really? I’ll play it if I have to.’
“That’s why I became a songwriter when I worked in the upholstery shop with another drummer (Brian Muldoon, The Upholsterers bandmate). He only played drums so I had to play guitar.
“So I enjoy drums the most, but that doesn’t mean that’s the thing I’m best at. What you enjoy is seldom what you’re good at.”
The ‘Steady As She Goes’ hitmaker keeps taking up new hobbies and has had so many that he can’t even remember the pastimes he’s had.
He told Q magazine: “Week by week for me.
“I have collections of things that I’ve forgotten about over the past decade. But carpentry has become my new thing recently.”
But one pursuit Jack has never been good at is cooking.
He admitted: “I cannot cook. I have no talent for that.”

Victoria Beckham: It took courage to reject Spice Girls reunion

OHMYGOSSIP — Victoria Beckham thinks it took “courage” to reject the opportunity to reunite with the Spice Girls.
The 45-year-old designer – who made her name as part of the chart-topping girl group – was offered the opportunity to join the band’s much-hyped reunion tour, but Victoria declined the invite, instead opting to focus her attention on her family and her fashion business.
Speaking to Vogue Germany magazine, Victoria shared: “It took me a lot of courage not to go on tour with the Spice Girls again, but to be the one who says, ‘You know, I’m not doing it because things feel different now than they used to.’
“I’d rather concentrate on my family and my company.
“I’m 45 now and very happy to be the woman I am … I’m not trying to change, I want to be the best version of myself. Before I turned 40, I wasn’t that confident. I learned to listen to my gut feeling.”
Meanwhile, Mel B – Victoria’s former bandmate – previously admitted to being disappointed by the brunette beauty’s decision to snub the reunion.
She said: “I expected her to come and just say hi, at least. Not even on stage, just as an audience member supporting…
“I’m sure she has her reasons for not. I’ve already said, ‘Yeah, I was upset’, I still am a little bit. It is what it is and us girls we all support each other no matter what, but yeah it is disappointing. Wedding, Spice Girls show…
“No [it’s not a rift]. We’re all adults, we all have to respectfully get on with whatever. But it is a bit disappointing, let’s put it that way.”

Madonna’s reluctant records

OHMYGOSSIP — Madonna made her three most recent albums “reluctantly”.
The 60-year-old singer – who has Lourdes, 22, Rocco, 18, David, 13, Mercy, also 13, and six-year-old twins Estere and Stelle – has been planning to make a new movie but got “bored” with the process so found herself back in the recording studio.
Asked how she suddenly finds herself with ideas and knows it’s time to make an album, she told MOJO magazine: “Sometimes that happens. But it has definitely not happened in the last… three records.
“Honestly, the last couple of albums, I’ve made them reluctantly.
“Both times I was trying to do something else- get a film made.
“That happened on this record too. I moved to Lisbon because I wanted my son [David] to be able to attend a soccer academy and then I was trying to raise money for a film and then I got bored waiting and then I ended up making a record.
“So it just kind of happened. It wasn’t like a burning thing that I had.”
But when she does start working on new music, Madonna is “very focused”.
She said: “Because time is so limited and precious, you do have to be laser-focused and not waste any time.
“Because you’re juggling, you know? Taking care of six children and they live in three different countries and you’re doing other jobs and taking care of other people.
“And I do have other areas of interest and filmmaking is one of them.
“I’ve been working for years on a screenplay and I’ve another script that I’m supposed to direct.
“With this album, at first I was just playing around and experimenting and then I was officially making a record.
“And when that happened, I did have to become very focused.”
And the ‘Holiday’ hitmaker admitted some of her albums have come from a need to make a record.
She said: “Other times, I did have lots of ideas stirring inside me and I did have a burning desire.
“‘Ray of Light’ would be one. ‘Like A Prayer’.
“But my life was simpler then. ‘Like A Prayer’ – I was married to Sean [Penn] and I had no children and my life was very simple.
“‘Ray of Light’, I had my daughter, but again, I didn’t have such a complicated life. Now my life is complicated.”

Cheryl: I’ve got new material to launch an album

OHMYGOSSIP — Cheryl has got new “material” ready ahead of a potential album launch.
The 36-year-old pop star – who first found fame as part of Girls Aloud – has revealed she’s recently been working on some new songs, though she remains undecided about a potential release schedule for her latest solo album.
The brunette beauty – whose most-recent album, ‘Only Human’, was released back in 2014 – told BBC Radio 1’s Life Hacks: “I’ve got material.
“I just want to see how the singles land and if people are enjoying the music and maybe do some intimate gigs and stuff first.”
Last month, Cheryl claimed that motherhood has made work more fun.
The chart-topping singer – who gave birth to her son Bear, two, in 2017 – took a break from work for “head space” after the arrival of her tot, but Cheryl recently admitted she is thrilled to be back in the studio.
She said: “It’s actually more fun since I became a mother. You know you see me sometimes at work and I would be like, Dermot I can’t. I can’t go any longer. Now I’m like, ‘yeah let’s go…’
“First of all I had a break which I needed and that was important for my head space more than anything and it’s fun that I get to come into work and do the things I love for a career, but I also get to go home to the most precious part of my life.”
Hear Cheryl on Radio 1’s Life Hacks from 4pm Sunday.

Nicki Minaj to headline music festival in Saudi Arabia

OHMYGOSSIP — Nicki Minaj is set to headline a music festival in Saudi Arabia.
The 36-year-old rapper will perform at the Jeddah World Fest on July 18 at the King Abdullah Sports Stadium in the Red Sea city alongside other international acts such as Liam Payne and DJ Steve Aoki.
The event – which will be Saudi Arabia’s biggest live music festival as part of the high-profile Jeddah Season Festival – will be broadcast globally and covered by MTV.
The festival will be in keeping with Saudi laws meaning it will be alcohol and drug free, open to those aged 16 and older and women attending will be required to wear a full-length robe known as the abaya.
The ‘Anaconda’ hitmaker is known for flesh-flashing style and risqué performances – one of which was criticised by Christian groups in 2012 after she took to the stage at the Grammy Awards with dancing priests and performed a mock exorcism.
Saudi laws have recently allowed women to drive and attend events in sports stadiums, however, in many restaurants, coffee shops, public schools and universities gender segregation is still enforced between single men and women.
Raed Abuzinadah, the director general for Jeddah Season, previously said of the event: “This is the largest musical festival of its kind in the region that will be broadcast to a global audience in more than 100 countries. There is a stereotype of the kingdom all over the world, and today it is disappearing. In its place is a new picture of the kingdom that accepts everyone.”
Robert Quirke, the chairman of the ROQU Media International, the event organiser, added: “This international project is truly special for Jeddah City and for all the young people of Saudi Arabia. This is the first global music festival of this scale in KSA and is sure to absolutely wow the lucky audience in Jeddah like never before.”
Other performers confirmed for the Jeddah World Fest include Liam Payne and DJ Steve Aoki.

Florence Welch contemplating a break from touring

OHMYGOSSIP — Florence Welch is thinking about taking a break from touring for the sake of her mental health.
The Florence + the Machine singer struggles with crippling anxiety when she is on the road, a mental health problem that she used to self-medicate with alcohol.
Florence has been sober for five years and so has had to develop with new coping mechanisms but as her “mental health has taken a battering” she isn’t sure it’s a price worth paying to sing to her fans.
In an interview with the new issue of Q magazine, she said: “I used to really unravel the anxiety. I can’t stop crying, I can’t dress, I can’t get this cynical negative thinking that gets really dark, that says I shouldn’t exist I go down a hole quite fast.
“I was like, ‘Do I really need to stop for a bit?’ But yes this confirms it’s sad because I do feel at the peak of my performance, of my connection with the audience, there is something special going on in these shows, the exchange of energy.
“But my mental health has taken a battering. It used to be that was a price I was willing to pay; I don’t think it is now.”
The 32-year-old musician admits when her anxiety peaks she is unable to prevent “really dark” thoughts from entering her mind and although she feels as though she can always make it on stage she struggles to deal with the other rigours of life on the road.
The ‘Shake It Out’ hitmaker – who is headlining Barclaycard presents British Summer Time Hyde Park on July 13 – added: “Even in the midst of a full-blown anxiety attack, I can do the show. There’s a level of sensitivity that allows me to perform, but it makes functioning otherwise very hard. I don’t have infinite resources, I’ve come to realise.”

Diplo was warned away from Justin Bieber collaboration

OHMYGOSSIP — Diplo was warned working with Justin Bieber would “end his career”.
The 40-year-old producer has collaborated with the ‘Love Yourself’ hitmaker a number of times and knew he didn’t need to listen to the grim predictions as their music would speak for itself.
He said: “At one point Justin was one of the most unpopular artists. But we thought, the music’s going to cut through all of this, if we make something crazy and loud. And that’s what we did.”
The ‘Where Are Ü Now’ hitmaker has also worked with Madonna and admitted the 60-year-old pop legend wouldn’t let him give their sessions anything but his full attention.
He told ES magazine: “Even on the first day she was not having my bulls***, I could not be on my phone — with Madonna, it’s serious work.”
Diplo admitted sometimes his “emotion takes over”, though he can largely keep feelings of depression at bay with his worl.
He said: “Anyone who’s creative, who really is in touch with their creative side, is always going to be in touch with depression. Mostly I’m making music and I’m thinking about business, and that drowns out the emotion. But sometimes… The emotion takes over. And I have to deal with that just like anyone else. When I was younger I was diagnosed with ADHD. It’s not a severe case, but I probably had other things [too].
“The really good feelings? You’ve got to suppress them sometimes. The high you get, it’s just like taking ecstasy. The next day is the worst.
“You have to always balance that: suppress the great feelings because it will make the lows not have such an aggressive touch on your life. That’s not good advice for everybody, and I know enough adult people, friends of mine, who’ve been suicidal and have committed suicide. I see that it’s so common.”
The full interview appears in this week’s issue of ES Magazine, which is out now.

Idris Elba has ‘overall conscience’ about rapping in his 40s

OHMYGOSSIP — Idris Elba has admitted he is “conscious about rapping at [his] age”.
The actor-and-DJ recently spit bars on Wiley’s song ‘Boasty’ – which was co-produced by Toddla T and Rotterdam’s Mucky – along with Sean Paul and Stefflon Don, but he has admitted he feels “overall conscience” about being a rapper at the age of 46.
Speaking to DJ Semtex about his involvement on the Caribbean-tinged track on the latest episode of Spotify Original podcast ‘Who We Be TALKS_’, Idris admitted: “If I am honest, that record for me, you know back in the day we would get an Accapella and throw on an instrumental, and then chop up another Accapella put it on and make it seem like the two blended. “That’s how I approached it, if I am honest, I didn’t approach it, these are my bars and I am barring.
“I am just aware of how I want to hear it when it rocks in the club like rather than more bars, it is more about sonics.
Toddler T and me worked on this, you know what I mean, and Toddler is a G and he has that sonic, coz’ he kind of hears how to construct what people are gonna like, so as much as I say, thank you for giving me all that love on that record, I can’t really talk about the bars.
“First of all, I am already conscious about rapping at my age, I feel overall conscience.
“It has been interesting taking it to America in Boston and New York, with a lot of Caribbean and Latin influence, and the tune is going off.”
Since the success of ‘Boasty’, Idris has featured on Stormzy’s massive hit ‘Vossi Bop’ and released Kah-Lo collaboration ‘Ballie’.
The ‘Luther’ star gave the latter hip-hop/house track featuring the Nigerian star – who is best known for providing the vocals to Riton’s Grammy-nominated hit ‘Rinse and Repeat’ – its live debut when he played Coachella in April and wanted to release it “immediately” afterwards via his own London based label 7Wallace.
Idris said: “Bong Ballie is slang for Everything Everything is Good.
“Kah-Lo and I wanted to fuse hip hop and house and she was so easy to work with.
“I played this tune out for the first time at Coachella and it went off… I knew I had to put it out immediately.”

Melanie C working on new solo album

OHMYGOSSIP — Melanie C is working on a new solo album.
The Spice Girl – who is also known as Mel C or Sporty Spice – is currently on the ‘WorldPride’ tour with queer collective Sink the Pink and has already given her fans a taste of what is to come as she has been performing her new single ‘High Heels’ at the LGBTQ+ shows.
Following the ‘Spice World Tour’, which wrapped on June 15 in London, the ‘Northern Star’ hitmaker has been in the studio with Biff Stannard – a member of the production and songwriting group Biffco, along with Julian Gallagher and Ash Howe – who won countless awards for penning the girl group’s biggest hit single ‘Wannabe’, including two Ivor Novello’s for Best Selling British Written Single in the UK and International Hit Of The Year.
The team are also behind ‘2 Become 1’, ‘Goodbye’, ‘Spice Up Your Life’ and ‘Viva Forever’.
Melanie has also been working with ‘Under The Shadows’ singer Rae Morris and art pop musician Fryars – whose real name is Benjamin Garrett – who teamed up with Miles Kane and Mark Ronson on ‘Johanna’ from the 2015 film ‘Mortdecai’.
An insider told The Sun newspaper’s Bizarre column: “Before the Spice Girls tour kicked off, Melanie had spent weeks in the studio making music for herself.
“She has worked with Biff as well as young singer-songwriter Rae Morris and pop singer Fryars, who previously wrote for Lily Allen.”
The urge to work on new solo music has reportedly been brought on by the fact that the Spice Girls – completed by Geri Horner, Emma Bunton and Mel B – have no plans to make any new music.
The source added: “Melanie wants to start releasing her music after the summer and is really excited to show people what she has been working on, given there are no plans for new Spice Girls songs.”
Melanie’s next album will be her first since 2016’s ‘Version of Me’ – which became her highest charting album since 2005’s ‘Beautiful Intentions’.

Roger Daltrey fears losing voice in ‘next five years’

OHMYGOSSIP — Roger Daltrey thinks he will lose his voice “in the next five years”.
The 75-year-old Who frontman – who has taken to lip-reading nowadays due to his deafness – has admitted he fears “age” will start to affect the quality of his singing in the next few years.
He admitted: “Obviously within the next five years I think my voice will go.
“Age will get it in the end.
“It’s still there at the moment.”
The ‘Pinball Wizard’ hitmaker previously said that if he doesn’t keep singing, he could risk losing his voice, and he doesn’t want to retire just yet.
He said: “People don’t realise that as a singer, if I stop singing at my age now for a year, I won’t have a voice to go back to.
“So I’ve got to keep singing if I want to do anything in future at all.”
And, the rock legend – who is gearing up for their huge show at London’s Wembley Stadium on Saturday (06.07.19) – admitted that whilst he would love to continue playing shows beyond their current run, which sees them play North America and Canada through to October 24, he is aware that the ‘Baba O’Riley’ hitmakers are reaching the “twilight” of their “live career”.
Daltrey – who is joined by guitarist Pete Townshend in the group – told Billboard: “It’s always very difficult getting us to do anything; Pete’s on different projects and everything else.
“I just want to get this tour done and the second leg to be even better than the first, and let’s see where we are once we’ve done that.
“I mean, we’re obviously coming to the twilight of our live career, and I’m glad we’re getting to do something like this before it’s over.”
The Who – who are working on their first album of new material in over a decade, a follow-up to 2006’s ‘Endless Wire’ – will be supported by Pearl Jam’s Eddie Vedder, Kaiser Chiefs, Imelda May and more at their Wembley show this weekend.

Black Keys’ Dan Auerbach: Touring gave us a form of ‘PTSD’

OHMYGOSSIP — The Black Keys’ Dan Auerbach believes their relentless touring schedule gave them a form of “post-traumatic stress disorder”.
The duo – also made up of Pat Carney – went on a hiatus in August 2015, and Dan admits he has loved being able to spend more time with his family during the pair’s break rather than staying in hotel rooms.
Dan said: “We were still touring constantly up until four years ago. We’d never really left the road.
“But recently, it’s been amazing to get home to see my kids every day instead of the inside of a hotel room. That’s a new experience for me.
“We’re not going to play as many shows as we used to.
“I love playing shows but I want to make it so that I love them all the time, that they never get tedious. I don’t want to do that to people.
“We both absolutely needed that break but it has made us appreciate this magic thing we have.”
The Black Keys dropped their ninth studio album, ‘Let’s Rock’ last week, and Dan has revealed the record’s title was inspired by the final words of a double killer, Edmund Zagorski, who was executed by the electric chair in November 2018 after 34 years on death row.
Dan added to The Sun newspaper: “In the first week of recording, I read a local front page story about a prisoner being executed by electric chair, which is really rare.
“His last words, ‘Let’s rock,’ stuck in my mind. Fast forward a few months and we were trying to think of an album title concept … always so annoying and tedious.
“But those words kept coming back to me, how absurd they were and how right on the money they were.
“We’d just made this rock ‘n’ roll record and it felt right, like it was given to us, like we were supposed to use it.”
In April, the ‘Gold on the Ceiling’ hitmakers confirmed they had pulled out of Woodstock 50 due to a “scheduling conflict”.
They wrote on Twitter: “Due to a scheduling conflict, The Black Keys will unfortunately need to cancel their set at @woodstockfest. The band wants to let fans know as soon as possible and before tickets go on sale. (sic)”

He wrote on Instagram: “Before I was signed in 2011, I made an EP called No.5 Collaborations Project.

Sam Fender loved Lewis Capaldi’s Glastonbury jibe at Noel Gallagher

OHMYGOSSIP — Sam Fender says his friend Lewis Capaldi’s Glastonbury Festival jibe at Noel Gallagher was “quality”.
Lewis, 22, jokingly trolled the former Oasis star as he took to The Other Stage at the festival last week in a green parka and matching bucket hat, the Britpop group’s trademark outfits in the 90s, as a clip of Noel saying “Who’s this Capaldi fella?” played on repeat on the screens around the stage.
Taking off the parka, Lewis then revealed he was wearing a T-shirt emblazoned with Noel’s face, surrounded by a heart and the whole stunt was in response to the ‘Wonderwall’ hitmaker’s dismissal of Lewis and his songs in a radio interview that happened before Glastonbury.
Sam – who had to pull out of the world famous music event due to an illness – watched Lewis’ performance with much amusement and thought the stunt was “really funny”.
Speaking to Radio X, he said: “I saw what [Noel] said about Lewis, that was funny, and really funny was what Lewis did after that … And then going out on stage and making that … That was quality. That was funny.”
The ‘Play God’ singer went on to say he “loves” the Scottish singer – who he beat for this year’s BRIT Awards Critics’ Choice prize – and revealed that he sends him “proper daft video messages” after a night of drinking.
Sam, 26, said: “I love Lewis too, man. I’ve got so much time for him like. He’s proper funny. He sends us proper daft video messages when he’s drunk.
“I’ve got one with him in the back of a car. It was listening to ‘Hypersonic Missiles’ just calling us a Critics’ Choice bastard”.
The ‘Someone You Loved’ hitmaker’s stunt came after Noel, 52, called him an “idiot” and mocked the popularity of his debut LP ‘Divinely Uninspired to a Hellish Extent’.
But the ‘Grace’ singer has since admitted it was all for banter and that once he ditched the comedy act and realised he was amidst a career-defining set, it all got “a bit nervy”.
He said: “It was all a good laugh, then I realised: ‘I’ve got a gig to play here’ … I wasn’t prepared for that many people. The first half-minute was a bit nervy.”

Kylie Minogue scores 7th number one album

OHMYGOSSIP — Kylie Minogue has scored her seventh UK number one album with greatest hits record ‘Step Back in Time: The Definitive Collection’.
The 51-year-old music icon released the album – which is her fourth greatest hits collection – on June 28, and on Friday (05.07.19) it was revealed she has managed to top the UK album chart and earn her seventh trophy.
Kylie was surprised with the news by her team, who created a “tunnel of love” for her to walk through, whilst chanting: “It’s the tunnel of love because you’re number one.”
The ‘Spinning Around’ hitmaker joins the likes of Coldplay, Elton John, Barbra Streisand and Take That who all also have seven number one albums, and she is now the female artist with the second most number ones, beaten only by Madonna who has 12.
Kylie’s album success follows her iconic performance on the The Pyramid stage at Glastonbury Festival over the weekend, where she played the coveted Legends slot over 10 years after a cancer diagnosis stopped her from performing at the Worthy Farm music extravaganza.
Before her performance, Kylie had admitted she was feeling “emotional” about appearing at the world famous event, but said she was expecting the festival to be a “big love fest”.
The ‘I Should Be So Lucky’ singer said: “Its excitement, nerves, obviously it’s emotional because of my history and I was, as you’ve mentioned, supposed to play here in 2005. Drama ensued, to put it mildly. So the road to Glastonbury has been long and winding, with some unexpected bumps. Speed bumps! But I am just, as you said – it’s a big singalong, that’s what I’m hoping for, just a big love fest you know.
“And I guess, with 31 years’ worth of songs and what’s come to light with the greatest hits album is that it’s all of our histories.”

Noel Gallagher has no hobbies

OHMYGOSSIP — Noel Gallagher thinks it’s quite “sad” that he doesn’t have any hobbies.
The ‘Black Star Dancing’ hitmaker relaxes by playing guitar because he doesn’t have any other ways to switch off.
He said: “It’s really f***ing quite sad. I’m not a great reader. I don’t like popping out in the car and going for a spin because I can’t drive.
“I don’t cook. I don’t collect s**t. I play guitar.”
The 52-year-old rocker is rarely in a bad mood and thinks he has a good mindset.
He told Q magazine: “I can’t help it. I don’t get too overwhelmed when things are great and I don’t get too down when things are going a little bit s**t, not that they ever do.”
While some fans didn’t like Noel’s most recent album. ‘Who Built the Moon?’, he thinks it’s just a “straight-up rock’n’roll pop song” but admitted it means they are likely to spend some time being disappointed in his efforts.
He said: “I was away in South America when ‘Holy Mountain’ came out, which to me is a straight up rock’n’roll pop song.
“Someone called me from the office and said, ‘F***ing hell, see what people are saying? They really don’t like it.’
“I thought, ‘Well, if you don’t like that, the next five years are not gonna be very pleasing for you.’ I listen to so many different kinds of music, electronic music and that, my influences now are so varied.”
But the former Oasis rocker admitted he’ll likely change musical direction again the future.
He said: “It’s just a phase I’m going through.
“If I write another ‘Morning Glory’, I’ll be going back to that style of music.”
