OHMYGOSSIP — Sir Ridley Scott and Sigourney Weaver have praised students at North Bergen High School in New Jersey for putting on ‘Alien: The Play’.
The teenagers created a social media storm when clips from their stage production of the acclaimed 1979 sci-fi horror film were posted onto Twitter by the play’s director, English teacher Perfecto Cuervo, with the videos quickly going viral.
The astonishing effort was noticed by ‘Alien’ director Scott and the 81-year-old British filmmaker sent a letter to the drama department commending everybody’s efforts.
Scott wrote: “My hat comes off to all of you for all your creativity, imagination and determination to produce such an ambitious show. Thanks for doing Alien, I felt very complimented.”
Sigourney – who portrayed heroine Ripley in the cinematic classic and three sequels – also saw the footage of the play and posted a video on the official ‘Alien’ Twitter account in which she congratulated all the students on their achievement and passed on a message of praise from James Cameron, who directed the first sequel ‘Aliens’.
In the video, the 69-year-old actress said: “I saw a bit of your production of ‘Alien’. I just want to say it looked incredible. You put so much heart and soul into that and the alien, I must say, looked very real to me.
“I just want to send our compliments, not only from me, but from James Cameron and the original screenwriter, Walter Hill. We all say bravo, well done. And just one more thing – you know, the alien might still be around. So when you’re opening your locker, just do it very slowly.”
The school’s play stayed close to the plot of the original movie which tells the story of the crew on the commercial starship Nostromo who, after answering a distress call, unwittingly bring a dangerous extra-terrestrial lifeform on board.
They then must find a way to survive as the deadly Xenomorph begins hunting them one-by-one.

OHMYGOSSIP — Danny Devito always felt insecure about being short.
The diminutive Hollywood star – who measures in at 4ft 10in – had hang ups about being small when he was growing up in New Jersey but he decided to throw himself into drama and embrace his love of acting to give himself more confidence.
In an interview with The Times newspaper, Danny said: “We all have these little things, our insecurities about ourselves. My height and my demeanour. I’m a little rough around the edges. I was always a little shy about it. I kind of went into the mouth of the dragon. Instead of hiding in the background I went up to the front. I said, ‘Here I am. This is what I do.’ ”
Although he had insecurities, the ‘Batman Returns’ actor was never bullied at school and feels lucky to have always had good friends and a loving family behind him.
DeVito – who attended Oratory Preparatory School before training at the American Academy of Dramatic Arts, from which he graduated in 1966 – said: “I’m like Jesus, you know what I mean? I lived at home with my mum, I had a bunch of friends I hung around with and she thought I was God. I always had people around me to protect me.”
DeVito can currently be seen playing circus master Max Medici in ‘Dumbo’, which is a remake of classic 1941 Disney animation.
Once he heard that Tim Burton was remaking ‘Dumbo’ – which follows the journey of the titular elephant whose oversized ears means he can fly – the 74-year-old actor decided he had to be in it because he has so many happy memories of watching the original cartoon movie and he respects the director so much.
DeVito – who has now worked with Burton on four films – said: “That moment in the morning when the kids get up and you sit ’em on the sofa with a bowl of cereal and you’re groggy and you haven’t had your coffee yet, and you go get ‘Dumbo’ and stick it into the VCR.
“And Tim and I go way back. There’s a great brotherly kind of camaraderie, you know, even though he’s my baby brother. Sometimes he’s like my dad. And sometimes he’s like my kid.”

OHMYGOSSIP — Wade Robson’s timeline of events in his allegations of child sexual abuse against Michael Jackson has allegedly been disproven by his own mother in historic court documents.
The choreographer alleges in the HBO documentary ‘Leaving Neverland’ that the late King of Pop – who died in 2009 – sexually abused him after befriending him as a child.
Wade claims the abuse started when his family went to the Grand Canyon and he stayed behind with the ‘Thriller’ hitmaker, but according to biographer Mike Smallcombe, a court testimony from 1993 shows his mother Joy insisting that Wade did join them on their trip.
Mike has alleged that Wade’s sexual abuse claims are a lie, as Joy testified under oath to say Wade came with her to the Grand Canyon, and therefore did not stay behind with Michael.
Speaking to Mirror Online, Mike said: “In the documentary, Wade Robson described how he and his then 10-year-old sister stayed in Jackson’s bedroom the first two nights they were ever at Neverland in January 1990.
“Wade then claimed that his family left to go to the Grand Canyon, while he stayed behind with Jackson alone at Neverland for the next five days.
“Wade claimed it was then when he was first abused by Jackson, going into graphic detail about what had allegedly happened over the course of several nights.”
Mike believes that Joy has “no reason” to be lying in her own testimony as she freely admitted leaving Wade alone with Michael on other occasions.
He added: “His mother, Joy Robson, testified under oath in a deposition in 1993/1994 in relation to the Jordan ‘Jordy’ Chandler case that Wade had actually gone with them on that trip to the Grand Canyon, before the entire family returned to Neverland for the second time the following weekend.
“Joy Robson had no reason to lie about this; she openly admitted that Wade stayed with Jackson alone on other occasions.
“She could have said, ‘Wade stayed behind with Michael when we went away to the Grand Canyon between weekends’, it wouldn’t have made a difference.”
Joy’s testimony highlights that her “family” joined her on the Grand Canyon trip with no mention of Wade staying behind, and she later claims that the first time she left him alone with the ‘Billie Jean’ hitmaker was in 1993, three years after he alleges the abuse started.
Mike said: “Her words in that deposition were, ‘We went to the ranch for the first weekend, and then we left and went to the Grand Canyon, and we toured. We came back to the ranch for the following weekend’.
“She was asked to elaborate on who had gone to the Grand Canyon, and she said ‘my family’. There was no mention of Wade staying behind.
“To confirm this, later on, she revealed that the first time Wade stayed alone with Jackson at the ranch without her was actually in 1993. She said, ‘My son has never been to the ranch without me up until this year (1993)’.”
Mike – who wrote Michael’s biography ‘Making Michael’ – admits Joy’s testimony doesn’t “categorically rule out” Wade’s allegations, but has made him “wonder” about the story Wade gives in ‘Leaving Neverland’.
He said: “All of this shows that Wade’s story about being abused that first time, while the rest of his family had supposedly left the ranch to go to the Grand Canyon, is false.
“Of course, while this doesn’t categorically rule out that Jackson abused Wade Robson, it does make you wonder if this extremely detailed and key story in the documentary has been fabricated.”

OHMYGOSSIP — Liam Neeson has “profoundly apologised” after he was accused of being “racist” for comments he made about a friend being raped.
The 66-year-old actor came under fire after he controversially and candidly confessed to trying to provoke a fight with a black person after a female friend was raped and he has now clarified his comments, explaining he was expressing the unexpected “primal urge” to lash out.
He said in a statement: “Over the last several weeks, I have reflected on and spoken to a variety of people who were hurt by my impulsive recounting of a brutal rape of a dear female friend nearly 40 years ago and my unacceptable thoughts and actions at that time in response to this crime. The horror of what happened to my friend ignited irrational thoughts that do not represent the person I am. In trying to explain those feelings today, I missed the point and hurt many people at a time when language is so often weaponised and an entire community of innocent people are targeted in acts of rage. What I failed to realise is that this is not about justifying my anger all those years ago, it is also about the impact my words have today. I was wrong to do what I did. I recognise that, although the comments I made do not reflect, in any way, my true feelings nor me, they were hurtful and divisive. I profoundly apologise.”
At the time, Liam admitted his primal urge “shocked” him.
He said: “I remembered an incident nearly 40 years ago where a dear friend of mine was brutally raped. I was out of the country. When she came back she told me about this and she handled the situation herself with incredible bravery, I have to say that. I had never felt this feeling before, which was a primal urge to lash out. She said he was a black man. After that, there were some nights I went out deliberately into black areas in the city looking to be set upon so that I could unleash physical violence, and I did it for four or five times until I caught myself on. It shocked me, this primal urge I had. It shocked me. It hurt me.”

OHMYGOSSIP — Angelina Jolie has called for the eradication of sexual violence in warzones.
The ‘By The Sea’ star made the impassioned speech as she attended the UN Defence Peacekeeping Ministerial in America on Friday (29.03.19).
She said: “Around the world there are countless examples of women rising, taking leadership, taking their destiny into their own hands, inspiring all of us. But women and girls are still the majority of the victims of war. They are over half of all refugees, and the vast majority of the victims of rape and other sexual and gender-based violence. Women are at the absolute epicentre of modern conflict, in the worst possible sense. But more often than not they are still on the outside looking in when it comes to politics and decisions about their future. If we went by the principle that those affected by a problem should be in charge of determining the solution, then the majority of the world’s peace negotiators, foreign ministers and diplomats would be women. We all know the reality.”
And the 43-year-old actress – who was appointed special envoy for the UN High Commissioner for Refugees in 2012 – believes equality for men and women will help make the world a more peaceful one.
Speaking at the conference, she added: “Denying half a population representation in peace negotiations or in government is not the route to long-term stability. As long as we continue to put almost every other issue ahead of women’s rights and participation, we will remain stuck in a cycle of violence and conflict. We will have learnt nothing. And our institutions will count for far less than they should.”

OHMYGOSSIP — Kris Jenner “prays” for her children.
The ‘Keeping Up With The Kardashians’ star knows the family are faced with “challenging” situations all the time but she keeps things going by staying positive for the sake of her children.
Speaking On Air With Ryan Seacrest, she said: “First of all, I pray about it. I really do. I find that, you know, just the spiritual side of me has to kick in because otherwise, I feel like I wouldn’t survive. I think that my kids make really good decisions. As challenging as some of these situations are, I think that because they have one another and they try to make really good decisions, that they’re gonna come out the other side with a lot of clarity and a lot of honesty, and do what they feel like is the right thing. And I really trust all of my kids to make those good decisions.”
And Kris previously insisted she knows the family empire wouldn’t be so strong if her offspring weren’t so passionate about what they do.
She said: “I think that what I’ve learned over the years is how to find that balance and [know] what each one of my kids is capable of. One thing that I couldn’t have all the greatest ideas in the world if I didn’t have kids with an amazing work ethic and creativity. My job is affected by the fact that they’re so engaged everyday. It’s really great and so that makes the biggest difference at all.”
And though Kris guides her kids with their businesses, she leaves the creative decisions to them.
She added: “With Kim [Kardashian West] and Kylie [Jenner] and the beauty brands, I’m really involved on the business side. When they get into their creative mode with the contouring shades and what the next collection of Kylie’s lip line is they really have absolute control. Anything I say will probably be overrided. [Kylie will] say ‘Mom you don’t understand green lipstick’ and I’ll be like ‘No I don’t.’ I think that instinctually they’ve always landed on their feet so they know what they’re doing and I try to stay out of that.”

OHMYGOSSIP — Miranda Kerr and Evan Spiegel are expecting their second child.
The 35-year-old model and the Snapchat founder are set to become parents for the second time, just 10 months after they welcomed son Hart into the world.
They said in a joint statement: “Miranda, Evan, Flynn and Hart are looking forward to welcoming the newest member to their family.”
Miranda – who is also a mother to eight-year-old Flynn, who she has with actor Orlando Bloom – previously admitted she “definitely” wants another child.
She said of the prospect of being pregnant again: “Not right this second, but yeah, definitely at some point. I love being a mum. It’s just the most rewarding thing.”
But if she does have another baby, Miranda will take care to ensure her sons don’t feel left out as she admitted Flynn confided in her that he felt “frustrated” not to get to spend as much time with her as he used to after Hart was born.
She recalled: “About a month after Hart was born, Flynn said to me, ‘Mum, I’m a little frustrated.’ He said, ‘I know I was the one who wanted a baby brother – like, I know it was my idea … But I’m feeling a little frustrated that I don’t get as much time with you as I used to.’ I was like, ‘I know, but honey, you know it’s not going to be like this forever.'”
Miranda has embraced her “mum-bod” and doesn’t mind that she might never get her old body back.
She said: “It’s really important as women that we’re gentle with ourselves and don’t feel like we have to snap back into shape after a baby…it’s OK, I’ve got a mum-bod and it’s fine! I don’t mind. It’s all part of it. I took nine months – well, 10 months – to grow a beautiful child and it might take 10 months to feel good in a swimsuit again. Or longer. Or never!”

OHMYGOSSIP — will.i.am says the allegations made against Michael Jackson are part of a “racist smear campaign”.
The ‘Scream and Shout’ hitmaker has branded the claims made by James Safechuck and Wade Robson in the HBO documentary ‘Leaving Neverland’, where they claim that Michael sexually abused both of them after befriending them when they were children, as part of a “smear campaign” against the singer.
He said: “I don’t know what to trust or who to believe. Who is behind it or what? Obviously it’s money. All I know is it’s a smear campaign. If he did it, then it’s sad and inhumane. But if he didn’t, then what is happening is sad and inhumane.”
will.i.am worked with Michael before his passing and praised him for being a “genuine and big-hearted person”.
He added: “The Michael Jackson I loved I will always love. The person I met was the kindest and most genuine and big-hearted person, who wouldn’t hurt a fly.”
Some have called for Michael Jackson’s music to be banned in the wake of the allegations but will.i.am has fumed at this, liking it to “not doing anything with anyone who ever did anything ill in the past?”
Speaking at Elstree studios, he shared: “We live in a very, very, very, very hypocritical, double-standard, fake society. I can name a thousand other products that we still buy, still use, that are owned by folks that have done the most horrendous things to people, millions of them, and we don’t take their products from the market. You’re not talking about banning Bayer that made the chemicals to kill all the Jews. You’re not talking about real s**t and yet you want to flex on a song? Bayer is really responsible for chemicals that killed millions of people but they’re headache medicine now.
“Are you going to ridicule them for their past? Are there reparations that need to be done for that? Imagine every country that ever had slaves, people said never travel to those countries because of what they’ve done in the past. Are you not supposed to do anything with anyone who ever did anything ill in the past?”
The Michael Jackson estate has hit back at the allegations made by James and Wade, branding both accusers “perjurers” and “admitted liars”.

OHMYGOSSIP — Tom Holland’s family keep him grounded.
The 22-year-old actor credits his parents and his brothers for keeping him humble despite his huge celebrity status.
He said: “My parents and brothers are such cool people that they wouldn’t really let my life change that much. I’ll come home from a hard day’s work and my mum will tell me to do the dishes, ‘It’s your turn.'”
Tom rose to fame playing the titular role in ‘Spider-Man: Homecoming’ and it is a role he has wanted since he was a young boy.
He added: “I’ve been playing Spider-Man in my bedroom since I was a kid. I grew up watching the films and I watched all the cartoons. I was kind of obsessed with him. When I walked on set for my first day it was my first day on the MCU (Marvel Cinematic Universe) but it was my thousandth time playing Spider-Man so I felt like I had it in the bag … I feel like a lot of Superheroes are very abnormal people. Tony Stark is a billionaire, Captain America is a super solider, Thor is a god and I just think that it’s nice to have a kid.”
Tom likes how superhero movies help people to “forget” all the “horrible things” going on all over the world.
He told Man About Town magazine: “There seem to be horrible things all over the world, and these films are a really nice way to forget about the world in which we’re living, enter into this magical world, enjoy a bit of freedom and watch these people who we admire and who we look up to do good and ultimately save the day.”

OHMYGOSSIP — Jada Pinkett Smith has unfollowed the Kardashians on Instagram.
Although the 47-year-old actress was a close friend of the reality TV family, she recently unfollowed matriarch Kris Jenner and her daughters Kim Kardashian West and Khloe Kardashian on the picture-sharing platform, due to the fallout from the Tristan Thompson cheating scandal, TMZ reports.
Jada recently took Jordyn Woods’ side after the model – who was best friends with Kris’ daughter Kylie Jenner – was accused of hooking up with Tristan, the father of Khloe’s baby True.
Jordyn – whose late father was a good friend of Jada’s husband Will Smith – appeared on Jada’s ‘Red Table Talk’ to discuss the incident, during which she admitted Tristan kissed her, but insisted she did not kiss him back.
Jada is said to have “made it clear” that everyone should try to put the cheating incident behind them but the Kardashian family’s new trailer for ‘Keeping Up with the Kardashians’ season 16 has shown that they are not ready to let it go.
Jordyn was reportedly left devastated after the show’s new trailer aired this week, as it shows Khloe breaking down in tears over the allegations.
Speaking about the trailer, a source told Us Weekly magazine: “[Jordyn is] obviously mortified by the trailer, and her mom is upset about it too, but they expected it. It’s still difficult to relive, and Jordyn is glad to be out of L.A. while everyone is talking about it. It’s humiliating and she is still haunted by it. She’s trying to look fabulous on social media, but it’s still a lot for any person to deal with.”
In the clip, Khloe can be seen crying as she opens up about the alleged affair – which caused the end of her relationship with Tristan – and says it has been tough working through such a difficult period in the public eye.
She said: “It just sucks it has to be so public. I’m not just a TV show.
“Like, this is my life… Tristan might love me, whatever that means. He has no respect for me whatsoever.”
Later in the trailer, Khloe – who shares 11-month-old daughter True with the NBA star – is seen screaming in the car while she’s on the phone.
She shouts: “My family is ruined.”

OHMYGOSSIP — Danielle Lloyd’s oldest son is having therapy to cope with anxiety.
The 35-year-old model – who has Archie, eight, Harry, seven, and five-year-old George with ex-husband Jamie O’Hara and 18-month-old Reggie with fiance Michael O’Neill – enlisted professional help for the youngster and has found it’s helped him to open up to her more and she thinks parents shouldn’t be afraid to seek assistance from outsiders when they are struggling with their children.
She told Closer magazine “Archie’s only eight but he’s a sensitive boy. “I’ve taken him to a therapist and it’s helped him open up to me.
“Now if he has any worries, he’ll tell me.
“I want my kids to know it’s OK to talk about their feelings.
“And it’s a good lesson for us parents to learn that we can ask for help if our kids are struggling too.”
Danielle has been open about her own battle with anxiety and has learned to combat her feelings with exercise and refusing to shut herself away.
She said: “People say, ‘You’re on the telly – how can you have anxiety?’ They haven’t got a clue.
“We all have the same worries. It’s hard to know what the trigger is, but I’m a shy person and life can be hectic.
“Earlier, I had so much anxiety, my heart was beating out of my chest at what felt like a million times an hour.
“I was breathing heavily and felt sick.
“I’ve learned it’s better to leave the house, see people, and talk about it, as that’s therapy in itself. “I’ve also started doing breathing exercises at home too.”
The brunette beauty – who underwent emergency surgery in 2012 after her breast implants burst – admitted her previous cosmetic surgery was done because she felt so “rubbish” about herself so she should have sought to tackle the underlying issues instead.
She said: “I had surgery before because I felt rubbish about myself.
“I’d been in abusive relationships and felt s**t.
“I didn’t need a boob job – I needed a therapist!”

OHMYGOSSIP — Mahershala Ali believes African-American actors “don’t get cast on potential”.
The Oscar-winning actor’s major career breakthrough came playing fixer Remy Danton in ‘House of Cards’ and he thinks the role gave other casting directors “permission” to put him in their projects.
He said: “I had many years of auditioning, booking gigs, almost booking jobs and making some real allies in the business – people who wanted to cast me in things but I just wasn’t a big enough name.
“What ‘House of Cards’ did was give people permission to cast me.
“It can be frustrating. Just to be frank with you, African-Americans don’t really get cast on potential.
“I hope that now I will have a window where I can finally do a lot of the kind of work I’ve been wanting to do for a long time.
“I’ve spent a long time playing the man next to the man next to the man. Finally, I’m getting to play the man!”
The 45-year-old star plays Wayne Hays in ‘True Detective’, a role originally written for a white actor, but Mahershala persuaded series creator Nic Pizzolato it would work better if the cop was black.
He told heat: “I found myself really responding to Wayne and his journey.
“It was the only character I was really interested in playing. I felt like it would be more interesting in terms of the narrative to see a black lead detective in 1980 navigating a homogenous community in the South while trying to solve this crime.
“Hayes already stands out, just as a lay person. But now he’s a police officer trying to operate wihin this community…
“I even sent some pictures of my grandfather (a former cop) to Nic, as a way of pushing home the point of how the drama would be heightened if the character was black.”

OHMYGOSSIP — Rose McGowan believes her dogs saved her life.
The ‘Charmed’ star – who was one of the first women to accuse disgraced movie mogul Harvey Weinstein of sexual misconduct when she alleged he raped her – enjoys the “simple” things in life, such as reading or being around animals, because they take her to a calm place.
She said: “I love travelling, seeing new places and meeting new people, and simple things like a nice cup of tea and a good book.
“Reading lets me escape into another world and gives my mind a break.
“I’ve met people who don’t read and I don’t understand it.
“Dogs make me happy too. I’d say the dogs I had when I was in Hollywood saved my life.”
The 45-year-old actress slammed the “cult-like mentality” of Hollywood and admitted she feels much “healthier” now she is on the “outside”.
She told Psychologies magazine: “Hollywood is a cult-like mentality, it’s the one big industry in that town.
“It’s all people talk about and they adhere to these illusory rules that were made up to appease studio heads years ago.
“People buy into it and I’ve written about demystifying the illusions that you’re sold.
“Being on the outside is a healthier place to be but I’m still finding my footing.
“It feels like a new era, which is both scary and thrilling – I get to live my life for me now.”
Rose knows her frank honesty can make people feel “uncomfortable”, but that doesn’t bother her.
She said: “I don’t see the harm in telling the truth.
“To others it’s scary but I guess that’s what being brave is all about.
“It makes people uncomfortable but I think it’s OK to be uncomfortable for a bit, it doesn’t mean you’re that way forever – if you’re wearing a bra that’s too tight, you take it off and you’re comfortable again.”

OHMYGOSSIP — Declan Donnelly had therapy to cope with Ant McPartlin’s drink-driving drama.
Ant was arrested in May 2018 after he lost control of his Mini Cooper while under the influence of alcohol and crashed into two cars, one of which had a nine-year-old child inside who was taken to hospital for a check-up.
He was later fined £86,000 and given a 20-month driving ban after pleading guilty to drink driving. Ant then took a year out from his presenting partnership with Dec to focus on getting help for his addictions and Dec admitted he turned to therapy to help him cope with the fallout.
He told The Guardian’s Weekend magazine: “Most recently, I’m not too proud to say I sought help when Ant was away. It’s the most destabilising thing that has ever happened to me. I had some counselling, and I still do. Just counselling. Therapy. It helps to talk to somebody independent, who doesn’t watch or care about TV. We just sit and talk for an hour.”
Dec, 43, also said it was “indefensible” of Ant to drink and drive, saying: “How could he do that? I wanted to punch him and hug him at the same time – and I didn’t know which one I wanted to do first. With addicts, a lot of it is about the devastation they leave in their wake – their families, their loved ones. Anyone who’s ever had a loved one go through addiction will know just how devastating it can be and how tough it is for those around them, as much as it is for the addict.”
Ant, 43, admitted he is haunted by the accident and called it an “inexcusable act”.
He said: “It wasn’t until I’d gone away and rested that it kicked in. I was having sleepless nights. The shame and guilt were horrendous. Whatever state I’m in, drink-driving is an inexcusable act.
I’ve constantly relived the incident. I know how serious that could have been and I am doing things on a daily basis to be a better man.
“I thank God every night that nobody was seriously hurt. I constantly think about it.”

OHMYGOSSIP — Hugh Jackman is too “indecisive” to be a director.
The ‘Greatest Showman’ star – who has children Oscar, 18, and Ava, 13, with wife Deborra-Lee Furness – is still passionate about his acting career and doesn’t think he has what it takes to step behind the camera and make movies.
Asked if he wants to direct, he said: “Not really. I love acting. I’m married to someone who is a born director and it’s a whole different way of thinking. I’m an indecisive person, I’d drive the crew crazy. ‘What do you think, a red dress or a yellow dress?'”
But the 50-year-old star does still have a lot of other plans for the future.
He added: “I’m being greedy but I’d love to do a movie musical every few years. And I’m ready to go back on Broadway. I’ve done a one-man show, but I haven’t done a musical on Broadway for 15 years.”
When he was younger, the Australian star dreamed of a career on stage in England.
He said: “My dream was the Royal Shakespeare Company or the National Theatre in London. My parents emigrated from England so the English thing was very strong. I was 28 when I did ‘Oklahoma!’ at the National. Everything else in the last 22 years has been an unbelievable bonus.”
Meanwhile, Hugh admitted he is hapless around the home when it comes to DIY.
He told OK! magazine: “Do not ask me to come and fix anything in your home. I’m not just talking lightbulbs. If someone comes round and there’s a drip. I go, ‘You can fix that’. My dad was terrible at that and I’m terrible. I’m the worst handyman around!”

OHMYGOSSIP — Robbie Williams is spontaneous in the recording studio.
The 45-year-old singer is currently working on a new album with longtime collaborator Guy Chambers, and the songwriter has said Robbie’s approach to creating new music is often quite spontaneous, and he has to make sure he’s always recording just in case the singer does something “really very strong”.
Speaking about his recording process in an interview for Sound On Sound magazine, Guy said: “[Robbie] gets quite a buzz from a track already in progress. He likes a certain amount of music to … So what we tend to do when he walks through the room is we immediately give him a mic, a handheld mic, and he immediately starts singing, if he likes the track. We record everything he does, because sometimes his first thoughts are really very strong, and I’m sort of playing along at the same time trying to interact with him.
“I like jamming with people when I’m writing. I like playing at the same time, I like getting involved, and not just watching it. I like … I suppose directing it in a way, and that’s what it’s like with Rob.”
Alongside working with Robbie, Guy is also set to release his debut solo album entitled ‘Go Gentle Into The Light’ on May 3, which features a host of tracks originally recorded by Robbie reimagined as piano instrumentals by Guy.
The musician recorded all the music on his 55th birthday last year in a single session at the world famous Abbey Road Studios in London.
Speaking about the record, Chambers said: “I chose the music that I thought would lend itself to solo piano, they were not chosen as part of a greatest hits exercise. I learnt a lot about the songs.
“I thought it would be nice for them to be heard in their pure melodic form. It was a little gift to myself.”
The album will be preceded by the single ‘The Road To Mandalay’ and other songs on the tracklist include ‘Go Gentle’, ‘No Regrets’, ‘Angels’ and ‘Millennium’.
