OHMYGOSSIP — Lewis Capaldi has announced a UK arena tour alongside an initiative supporting fans suffering from mental health issues.
The 22-year-old singer-songwriter will embark on a run of concerts at major venues in March 2020 – including a night at London’s The SSE Arena, Wembley – making him one of the first artists in history to announce arena shows before the release of a debut album.
As well as his tour, the ‘Someone You Loved’ hitmaker has announced LIVELIVE, which aims to help those who experience any form of anxiety or emotional difficulties and have concerns about attending concerts.
The initiative will help fans by providing a team at each venue who are expertly trained and qualified in assisting with panic, anxiety or any other concerns they may have, and the ‘Bruises’ singer hopes the service will “support” and help them “feel comfortable” attending his gigs.
He said: “I always get tonnes of messages from people online who have said they want to come to my shows but can’t because they’re struggling massively with anxiety or are just generally afraid they will have a panic attack during the show.
“I really wanted to put something in place to help those people feel comfortable and offer them support to allow them to experience the shows.
“I hate to feel that anyone’s anxiety is making them miss out on anything they want to do and LIVELIVE is my attempt at helping make these shows enjoyable for as many of those people who have been supporting this journey for me!”
All proceeds from a compulsory 50p extra charge at checkout for each ticket sale goes solely towards the initiative and tickets go on general sale on April 26 at 9am at https://www.livenation.co.uk.
The ‘Grace’ hitmaker’s debut album ‘Divinely Uninspired To A Hellish Extent’ is released on May 17.
Lewis’ tour dates are as follows:
March 2, Manchester, O2 Apollo
March 3, Manchester, O2 Apollo
March 5, Glasgow, The SSE Hydro
March 8, Dublin, 3Arena
March 11, Cardiff, Motorpoint Arena
March 12, London, The SSE Arena, Wembley

OHMYGOSSIP — Mabel has announced her debut album ‘High Expectations’ will be released on July 12.
The 23-year-old singer has released details of her hotly-anticipated record, which is available on pre-order now, and revealed how working on the songs allowed her to “gain so much confidence”.
In a statement, the ‘Don’t Call Me Up’ hitmaker said: “‘High Expectations’ the title says it all.
“It’s about the expectations I have of myself, other people’s expectations of me and vice versa, especially in relationships. The general topic of the project is the negatives and positives that come with that.
“I want to send a positive message to everyone that’s going to listen to it. I’ve gained so much confidence from writing this album and that’s what I want people to take from it.”
The twice-BRIT-nominated star has already sold over three million singles in the UK – two platinum, three gold, and two silver – surpassed a billion streams and sold out the likes of Brixton Academy.
The star previously revealed that she has the title of her “empowering, uplifting and disarmingly candid record” tattooed on her neck – and the album will tell the story of Mabel’s own extraordinary life-story as well as those who inspire her – such as Destiny’s Child and Lauryn Hill.
The singer previously said of ‘High Expectations’: “It’s not just a collection of songs, it has to tell a story and it has to have a thread and it has to have different nuances.
“But when I figured out what that story was, the rest poured out. I am gassed off the name. I’m actually going to get it tattooed!”

OHMYGOSSIP — BTS have named Billie Eilish as the next artist they want to collaborate with.
The ‘IDOL’ hitmakers – made up of V, J-Hope, RM, Jin, Jimin, Jungkook and Suga – have been impressed with the 17-year-old rising star following the success of her debut album ‘When We All Fall Asleep, Where Do We Go?’, and subsequently want to work with the singer on their next project.
Speaking with Apple Beats 1 radio, Jungkook named the ‘Bad Guy’ hitmaker as one of the artists that they are hoping to collaborate with.
Opening up about Eilish’s record, Jungkook simply said: “Everyone should hear it.”
The K-Pop sensations – who released their album ‘Map of The Soul: Persona’ earlier this month – have previously worked the likes of Halsey – on their track ‘Boy With Luv’ – and Ed Sheeran on ‘Make It Right’.
And shortly after the visuals were released on Sunday (14.04.19) for Halsey and BTS’ much-anticipated track, it broke the record for the most viewed music video debut in YouTube history – only a day after it was set by K-Pop band Blackpink – gathering a massive 74.6 million views in its first 24 hours.
Sheeran had previously teased that he had worked on a song with BTS and revealed he is a huge fan of their work.
He said: “I actually wrote a song that I hear they might be messing with. I heard this the other day. I really like BTS though, I think they’re great.”
RM also name-dropped Ed when he was asked who his favourite artists are.
He said: “I love James Blake, I love Jorja Smith, and Ed Sheeran of course.”

OHMYGOSSIP — Taylor Swift and Khalid are set to perform at the 2019 Time 100 Gala.
It has been announced that the ‘Blank Space’ pop star and the ‘Better’ hitmaker will both take to the stage at the event – which celebrates the publication’s yearly list of the 100 most influential people in the world – on April 23.
Each year honorees have an article written about them in the magazine by another famous face and Shawn Mendes – who penned Taylor’s Time 100 piece – gushed that the 29-year-old star seamlessly connects to her fans with her “honest” music.
Shawn wrote: “Taylor makes the job of creating music for millions of people look easy. It all comes from her — her belief in magic and love, and her ability to be as honest and raw as possible.
“She’s the master of putting the perfect amount of thought into not overthinking, and that’s why her music connects so well.
“[She] makes anyone older feel young again and anyone young feel they can do anything. It’s so rare and so special. If there is one thing I want to achieve in my career and life, it’s that.’
Khalid – who was nominated for five Grammy Awards last year – recently went to No.1 on the Billboard 200 with his sophomore album, ‘Free Spirit’.
And Alicia Keys – who wrote a tribute to Khalid – hailed the 21-year-old musician as a “beautiful writer” who has the unique ability to make his “powerful” music accessible.
She wrote: “He’s a beautiful writer with the ability to take human concepts and make you understand and feel them.”
“He has a full, powerful voice that is somehow unassuming and smooth at the same time. He’s accessible — almost like you’ve met somebody like him before, although there’s nobody else like him.”

At the beginning of the track, she sings: “I took a pill and had dream / I went back to my 17 year / Allowed myself to be naïve / To be someone I’ve never been / I took a sip and had a dream / And I woke up in Medillín / The sun was caressing my skin / Another me could now begin.”
Madonna recently announced her new LP ‘Madame X’, which will be her first since 2015’s ‘Rebel Heart’ and her 14th studio album in all.
In a video posted to her Instagram account, she shares: “I decided to call my record Madame X … Madame X is a secret agent traveling around the world, changing identities, fighting for freedom, bringing light to dark places. She is a cha cha instructor, a professor, a head of state, a housekeeper, an equestrian, a prisoner, a student, a teacher, a nun, a cabaret singer, a saint, a prostitute.”
And posting another two short clips, Madonna captioned them: “Madame X is a spy in the house of Love … What song is Madame X playing………… (sic)”
Later this year, Madonna is also set to go on her first world tour in three years.
An industry source said: “Madonna is really excited about performing her new music and has spared no expense with the production.
“There will be the usual army of dancers, slick lighting and even some pyrotechnics. She might be 60 but she works incredibly hard to keep her body in the best shape possible and plans to show it off in some amazing outfits, so fans can expect an array of dramatic costume changes.”

Meanwhile, Missy recently took to social media to discuss her own legacy, suggesting her innovation in the rap genre has meant critics often don’t know how to describe her.
She said: “I don’t think many know what category to put me in (I think)”

OHMYGOSSIP — Nick Cave has suggested the future of rock music “perhaps isn’t worth saving”.
The Bad Seeds frontman believes there is “little new and authentic” rock music anymore because it has become more “cautious and corporate” than ever.
In response to a fan on his Red Hand Files website – which sees the singer openly reply to questions and letters – about his opinion on the current state of the genre, the ‘Bring It On’ hitmaker said: “It is within the very nature of rock ‘n’ roll to mutate and to transform – to die so it can live again. This churning is what keeps the whole thing moving forward. As musicians we are always in danger of becoming obsolete and superseded by the next generation’s efforts, or by the world itself and its big ideas. It looks like the new big idea is moralism. Will rock music survive this one? We shall see.
“My feeling is that modern rock music, as we know it, has anyway been ailing for some time now. It has become afflicted with a kind of tiredness and confusion and faint-heartedness, and no longer has the stamina to fight the great battles that rock music has always fought.
“It seems to me there is little new or authentic, as it becomes safer, more nostalgic, more cautious and more corporate.
“As far as rock music goes, I think that the new moral zealotry that is descending upon our culture could actually be a good thing. Maybe, it is exactly what rock ‘n’ roll needs at this moment in time.
“Contemporary rock music no longer seems to have the fortitude to contend with these enemies of the imagination, these enemies of art – and in this present form perhaps rock music isn’t worth saving.”
The ‘Red Right Hand’ singer believes a big overhaul is needed, so a new “form” of the beloved genre can begin.
He added: “Perhaps a painful reckoning is needed – a great crushing of creativity that descends and lays its self-righteous ice across art – so that in time, a wild, dangerous and radical form of music can tear its way through the ice, teeth bared, and rock ‘n’ roll can get back to the business of transgression.”

OHMYGOSSIP — Justin Bieber is set to return to music on Friday (19.04.19) with a guest feature on a track by Lil Dicky.
The 25-year-old singer has been taking some time away from his music career and recently revealed he would be making his long awaited comeback once he has “repaired some of the deep rooted issues” in his life.
But it seems fans don’t have too long to wait, as on Monday (15.04.19), 31-year-old rapper Lil Dicky confirmed that his upcoming single, which is yet to have a publicly released title, will feature the ‘Sorry’ hitmaker.
In a video posted to social media, he said: “Hi, I think I have to start talking to you guys about this new song and video I’m putting out this week because I’m so excited. I’ve really never been this excited for anything in my life. So many things I want to tell you but I just want to start with two simple words: Justin Bieber.”
And Justin confirmed the collaboration when he retweeted the clip and added: “Friday. Let’s save the world @lildickytweets (sic)”
According to TMZ, the accompanying music video – which will also be released on Friday – is set to feature a roster of famous faces, including DJ Khaled, Katy Perry, Halsey, Shawn Mendes, and Adam Levine.
For Justin, the track comes as he told fans in March that he wouldn’t be rushing his return to music because he wanted to take the time to make something he could be proud of.
He wrote in a lengthy social media post: So I read a lot of messages saying you want an album .. I’ve toured my whole teenage life, and early 20s, I realised and as you guys probably saw I was unhappy last tour and I don’t deserve that and you don’t deserve that, you pay money to come and have a lively energetic fun light concert and I was unable emotionally to give you that near the end of the tour.
“I will come with a kick ass album ASAP, my swag is undeniable and my drive is indescribable his love is supernatural his grace is that reliable…. the top is where I reside period whether I make music or not the king said so. but I will come with a vengeance believe that.. (grammar and punctuation will be terrible pretend it’s a text where u just don’t care). (sic)”

OHMYGOSSIP — Justin Bieber “had a moment” with Billie Eilish during Ariana Grande’s performance at Coachella.
The ‘Sorry’ hitmaker – who is married to model Hailey Baldwin – was filmed in the photography pit with the 17-year-old pop phenomenon during the ‘No Tears Left to Cry’ hitmaker’s set on Sunday (14.04.19).

She said: “One day you’ll find out [what was said], but that s**t was crazy.”
The ‘Bad Guy’ singer – who is a self-confessed Belieber – didn’t reveal what the ‘What Do You Mean?’ hitmaker had said, but revealed her old messages which she sent Justin from 2014, when she was just 12, appeared in the chat.
She continued: “You know how when you follow somebody, you can see everything they DM’d you in the past? It felt good and it felt bad at the same time.
“It started when I was, like, 12, I believe.”
Billie added that she had “big a*s” posters of Justin on her wall and admitted she admires him for all that he has been through growing up in the spotlight.
She said: “He’s amazing. He’s so sweet and, like, I feel – just, honestly, I feel for him, man. He’s been through a lot, dude.”

OHMYGOSSIP — Metallica feel “uncomfortable” with how long their latest record is taking.
The ‘Enter Sandman’ rockers last released an album three years ago and are working on their next studio project, but guitarist Kirk Hammett has said that none of his band mates – including Lars Ulrich, James Hetfield, and Robert Trujillo – are happy with how long the process is taking, because they’re all used to bands putting out albums “every year”.
Speaking to Mixdown, Kirk said: “When I was 13-14 years old, bands put out albums every year. Seriously, KISS put out an album every eight months. None of this eight years between albums.
“None of us are very comfortable with the fact it’s been so long, because that is a long time. We’re hoping to avoid that this time around.
“We’re in our third year since ‘Hardwired’. Maybe we can get a bit more focus and go into the studio a bit sooner. I have a ton of material. I’ve over-compensated, so I’m ready to go anytime.”
The band last released music in 2016 when they dropped ‘Hardwired… To Self Destruct’, but previously had an eight year gap before that, with no new music between ‘Hardwired’ and 2008’s ‘Death Magnetic’.
Kirk’s comments come after bassist Robert previously assured fans their new record won’t be another eight years away.
He said: “It will come a lot sooner than the previous two did … this time around I think we’ll be able to jump on it a lot quicker and jump in the studio and start working.
“We’ve all vowed to get this one going sooner than later. Now, how soon? I don’t know. We’ve been touring non-stop. It’s been over two years now. At some point, sure, we’ll need to take a little bit of a break. It’s sort of the right thing for us to do because we’ve been going so hard.”

OHMYGOSSIP — Twenty One Pilots still feel the need to “prove” themselves.
The ‘Stressed Out’ duo – comprised of Tyler Joseph and Josh Dun – have seen massive success with their most recent album ‘Trench’, but have said they’re not done conquering the music industry just yet, as they don’t believe they’ve “won everybody over”.
Tyler said: “Why not dream big? Why not have as many people hear us and our art as possible? It’s fun. It’s cool to continue to travel and play music and have that be our jobs.
“I don’t know if we’ll ever get to a point where we feel like we’ve won everybody over and it’s on cruise control. Everything we do is us still feeling like we need to prove ourselves, in a way.”
But despite not thinking they’ve proven themselves, the band are set to take on their first headline slot at this year’s Reading and Leeds Festivals in August, and have said they didn’t realise how “gigantic” things had gotten for them.
Speaking to Dork magazine, Tyler added: “It’s not until we look back on it that we realise what was happening. We kept our heads down and just kept grinding and playing every day. It’s like when you don’t see a nephew for a long time; you realise he grew up, and he got taller, but if you were to live with him and watch him grow a fraction of an inch every single day, it doesn’t feel that dramatic.
“We just didn’t feel how gigantic everything got for us doing that touring cycle. It’s not until we look back on it after having a little bit of a break that we realised how special it was.”
Meanwhile, earlier this year, Twenty One Pilots confirmed they’re already working on new material to follow up on the success of 2018’s ‘Trench’.

The 25-year-old musician was award the Critics’ Choice Award at this year’s BRIT Awards in February for being a rising star and one to watch, and he’s now announced his debut album – which will be titled ‘Hypersonic Missiles’ – is set to be released later this year.

Excited for you all to hear it. Here’s the preorder link- first orders from my store come with a signed beermat: https://samfender.lnk.to/AlbumSO (sic)”
The announcement comes after Sam released the title track, ‘Hypersonic Missiles’, as a single earlier this year.
And he previously admitted the song was influenced by his love of musical icon Bruce Springsteen, whom he said he was “weaned on” as a young boy.
He said: “I’ve been f***ing weaned on him. My brother bought us ‘Born To Run’ when I was 14 or 15 and it just fucking changed my world.
“At first I was a bit confused by this slightly over-the-top production, but the words were just so good. Lyrically, ‘Born To Run’ is one of the best albums out there and it changed my world when I heard it.
“I’d never heard rock music that sounded that fresh, even though that record was released in 1975. I’ve also always wanted to do that Phil Spector production and add a saxophone to it.
“I’d say it’s a nod to Bruce Springsteen, although my publisher says it’s a headbutt.”
The album is also set to including ‘Leave Fast’, ‘Dead Boys’, and ‘That Sound’, which were all released as singles in 2018.
‘Hypersonic Missiles’ tracklist:
‘Hypersonic Missiles’
‘The Borders’

OHMYGOSSIP — Sir Tom Jones has led tributes to his collaborator Les Reed after the songwriter passed away.
Les – who wrote ‘The Voice’ coach’s debut single ‘It’s Not Unusual’, as well as his hit ‘Delilah’, and songs for the likes of Dame Shirley Bassey, Elvis Presley, Engelbert Humperdinck and Bing Crosby – has died at the age of 83, his family confirmed on Tuesday (16.04.19), and the 78-year-old Welsh crooner has remembered his friend as being very “gifted”.
Tom wrote on Twitter: “Sorry to hear the news of the passing of my friend and colleague Les Reed.
“Les was a gifted songwriter who was instrumental in penning many a hit, incl two important songs for me – ‘It’s Not Unusual’ and ‘Delilah’. Les was a lovely man, whose legacy will live through his music. RIP Les.(sic)”
Spandau Ballet’s Gary Kemp praised Les as a “master of songwriting”.
He tweeted: “A master of British songwriting has left us.
“Here’s to the great Les Reed, a beautiful, gentle man who gave us giants like There’s a Kind of Hush, Delilah and the Last Waltz.(sic)”
And composer Sir Tim Rice believes Les’ spirit will live on through his classic songs.
He wrote: “Les Reed, one of the all-time great British songwriters, and top bloke, has died. He was composer of countless hits that will live on for years, decades, to come.
“All his music biz chums will miss him enormously and will never forget his songs, talent and generosity of spirit. RIP Les.”
American singer Connie Francis, who recorded a version of ‘Kiss Me Goodbye’ in 1969, is saddened by the loss of her “dear friend”, who she hailed a “gentleman”.
She wrote on Facebook: “I cannot begin to tell you how saddened I am by the loss of my dear friend, Les Reed. Les gave new meaning to the word ‘gentleman’.
“He was an outstanding musician and composer. I loved working with this wonderful man. Recording the ‘Songs of Les Reed’ was one of the highlights of my life. Godspeed Les, you will always live in my heart.”
The songwriter – who joined the John Barry Seven as a pianist in 1959 before making his name as a songwriter in the 1960s – is survived by his daughter Donna and grandsons, and they are “immensely proud” of all his achievements.
They said in a statement: “We are all so immensely proud of everything Les achieved in his incredible lifetime. We know that his name will be remembered for what he did for music and that he will always live through his songs and compositions for the rest of time.”

OHMYGOSSIP — Glastonbury Festival 2019 will see the introduction of a new “hidden gem micro venue” to the Silver Hayes area.
The iconic festival have added a new venue called No Average Groove which will feature a variety of “music and styles” and promises to play the “hottest underground ” dance tracks.
Glastonbury said in a statement: “New micro venue No Average Groove will feature all genres of music and styles. There will be nothing average about this small stage, the new hidden gem of Silver Hayes.
“So get your dancing shoes on and groove to the tunes from the hottest underground dance music scene.”
This won’t be the only change this year as it was previously announced that the event will feature a brand new 60-metre pier.
The festival’s founder, Michael Eavis, has announced that this year’s event will feature a new show by Joe Rush – an artist whose works have previously featured at the festival – and explained that the sculpture artist will be creating an “an enormous pier” called “Glastonbury on-sea”.
The piece will resemble a “Victorian pier” and won’t be the only new elaborate artwork fans can expect this year as Glastonbury will be replacing their famous Arcadia spider – a giant fire breathing metallic monster with DJs performing underneath it which has been a mainstay of the festival for years.
A spokesman for Arcadia previously said: “Same field – new world! We are currently wrestling giant bits of machinery.
“A vast new project is taking shape at Glastonbury that will lay the foundations for a new site-specific landscape and an evolving show in the sky over the next five years”.
Co-organiser Emily Eavis – who is the youngest daughter of Michael – previously revealed that this year’s Glastonbury would see some “radical switches”.

OHMYGOSSIP — French Montana says Kanye West’s new music is inspired by his spiritual connection to the church.
The ‘Unforgettable’ rapper has teased fans can expect something “so crazy” and “outside the box” from the ‘Famous’ hitmaker’s next set of songs and revealed how running his popular Sunday church service in Los Angeles has influenced his “new direction”.
Speaking to Zane Lowe on his Apple Beats 1 radio show, French teased: “He’s working on something that’s so crazy. I think he’s working on something bigger than music.
“When I went to go see him, he showed me something that was so crazy. But, that’s what makes people like him stand out, because he always thinks outside the box — really outside the box. Shout out to Kanye.”
The 34-year-old star – who used to date Kanye’s sister-in-law Khloe Kardashian – says that the ‘FourFiveSeconds’ hitmaker wants to “change the world” with his art.
He continued: “I just see that [West is] trying to do something that’s going to change the world.
“Whether it’s something to help the people, or something like … I feel like he’s going to touch something that’s going to change everybody’s life.”
And commenting on his new direction, French added: “The whole time I’m with him, he’s telling me about the church and he’s telling me about what his direction with the music is going.
“The whole time he’s like, ‘I’m thinking about doing this. All right? You know. I’m in that spirit. You know?’
“So I play him a couple records.
“I played a record called ‘Wiggle It.’ When the record stopped, he said, ‘What you doing with that record?’ I said, ‘My God. I thought you was going towards Jesus.’ This is across the street right here.”
Kanye’s next project is ‘Yandhi’, which looks set to feature a collaboration with Nicki Minaj.
In a recent episode of ‘Keeping Up With The Kardashians’, Kanye suggested the collaboration during a studio session with his producer.
He said: “What do you all think about Nicki on ‘New Body’?”
When his producer replied to say he thinks it would be “dope”, Kanye replied: “Yeah, OK. Send it to her then … Wait a second. Kim, you want to send it to her? She asked you.”
His wife Kim Kardashian West then added: “She did ask me, ‘Can Kanye send me new music?'”
The reality star then promptly got Nicki on FaceTime and the rapper told her the collaboration was “gonna be fire”.
Taking to Twitter following the episode being aired, Kim wrote: “Nicki really is the goat! @NICKIMINAJ We FaceTimed her and within an hour she had written the song and it’s soooo [hot].”

Nicki isn’t the only female collaborator Kanye is looking to feature on his new album, as he has also reportedly set his sights on Dua Lipa.
A source said recently: “Kanye is super impressed with Dua’s voice and he knows she’s really hot property in the industry right now. He met her at the church service he holds in LA every Sunday and is now keen to get her on board. She’s already teamed up with Calvin Harris and he saw how well that song did commercially.
“He’s got a few songs he thinks Dua would be perfect for and is really eager to get her on his next album Yandhi.”
