    Eddie Van Halen's Son Says Rumor of Him Replacing Late Father in the Band Is 'Hurting' His Family

    Instagram

    Wolfgang Van Halen denies that he will be joining Michael Anthony, Sammy Hagar and Alex Van Halen as part of a new Van Halen, slamming the report as a ‘lie attempting to capitalize on these awful times.’

    Oct 27, 2020
    AceShowbiz – Eddie Van Halen’s son does not appreciate those suggesting that he will fill in his late father’s position as lead guitarist in Van Halen. Shutting down speculations that have been swirling among fans, Wolfgang Van Halen argued that the rumors are actually “hurting” his family.
    On Sunday, October 25, the 29-year-old shared his two cents on the matter via Twitter. “This is just a s***ty lie attempting to capitalize on these awful times. Please stop with this. Anyone peddling this s**t is not only hurting the fans, but hurting me and my family,” he said when retweeting the false claim made by a fan page dedicated to him.

    Wolfgang Van Halen shut down rumors about him replacing his father in Van Halen.
    The original tweet claimed Wolfgang would join ex-bass guitarist Michael Anthony, former lead singer Sammy Hagar and drummer Alex Van Halen in the rock band’s new lineup. It further suggested, “It has been mentioned that Eddie Van Halen told his son and brother, I give you my blessing…..”

    The rumors emerged less than a month after Wolfgang announced on social media that his father passed away at the age 65 after a years-long battle with cancer. “I can’t believe I’m having to write this, but my father, Edward Lodewijk Van Halen, has lost his long and arduous battle with cancer this morning,” the musician wrote on the October 6 post.
    “He was the best father I could ever ask for. Every moment I’ve shared with him on and off stage was a gift. My heart is broken and I don’t think I’ll ever fully recover from this loss,” he continued. “I love you so much, Pop.”

    Back in July, Wolfgang turned to Instagram to answer a question if his father’s reputation was “a gift or a curse.” He explained, “It’s really equally both. Being who I am, I think people at the least will be interested in what my work will sound like, which is very nice. But on the other hand, if it’s not exactly what they want to hear or if I don’t try to sound ‘Van Halen-y’ enough for them they’ll hate me and won’t give me the time of day.”

    Not only offering fans picturesque views of the coast, but the One Direction member is also serving looks in the visuals. From a bulky white long-sleeved shirt to a light blue suit jacket over a button-down and checkered pants, he successfully melts fans’ hearts with his fashion game.
    Besides “Golden”, “Fine Line” includes other hits such as “Watermelon Sugar” and “Adore You”. It debuted at No. 1 on Billboard 200 and became his second chart-topping album in the United States, in addition to receiving generally positive reviews from music critics. Speaking of the album during an interview with Zane Lowe, he said he wanted to be more fun and adventurous with the project.
    “When I listen to the first album now, I can hear all of the places where I feel like I was playing it safe, because I just didn’t want to get it wrong,” he said at the time. “But I guess a big part of going into this album was I spent a lot of time thinking about the whole process of, you make an album, and then you put it out… and then you tour it. I kind of went into the second one feeling like I want to work out how to make all of this feel really fun.”

    Artist of the Week: Fleetwood Mac

    https://www.grammy.com/

    Mick Fleetwood and his bandmates are propelled back to music charts around the world as an internet influencer introduces their classic single ‘Dreams’ to younger generation on TikTok.

    Oct 26, 2020
    AceShowbiz – Fall has a new anthem this year. Fleetwood Mac’s killer song “Dreams” becomes a new rage after it exploded on Tik Tok. The classic single returned to music charts around the world, more than four decades after it hit the pinnacle on Billboard’s Hot 100 back in 1977.
    It re-entered Hot 100 at No. 21, jumped to No. 10 on the Global 200, topped iTunes songs chart, and placed among top 50 most-streamed songs on Spotify. It scored its best-ever weekly U.S. streams and download sales with 13.4 million streams (up 54%) and 22,000 downloads sold (up 197%).
    The trend started in early October after Idaho Falls resident Nathan Apodaca lip-synched to the song while skateboarding down the street and sipping cranberry juice. Many recreated his video as the likes of Dr. Phil, Jimmy Fallon, Mick Fleetwood, Stevie Nicks, and Lindsey Buckingham posted their own versions.

    “We love this!” the band responded to the internet craze surrounding the song. Nicks additionally said in a television interview, “This TikTok thing has kind of blown my mind.” The 72-year-old singer continued, “I’m happy about it because it seems to have made so many people happy.”
    “@420doggface208 had it right. Dreams and Cranberry just hits different,” the band’s co-founder Fleetwood applauded Apodaca on social media. In return, Apodaca called the drummer’s version “so dope” as he told the British rocker to “stay Steady Vibin homie.” Fleetwood responded, “Maybe when all this is Covid business is over we create one together.”
    As the single blew up on the internet, the album which features the song gained new steam as well as it returned to the Top 10 on Hot 200. “Rumours” climbed up to No. 7 with 33,000 equivalent album units and 30.6 million streams in the week ending October 15, ahead of “Hamilton” soundtrack, NBA YoungBoy’s “Top”, and Taylor Swift’s “Folklore”.

    Oct 26, 2020
    AceShowbiz – Barack Obama’s daughters, Malia and Sasha, don’t really use social media. Because of that, the moment they make appearances on their friends’ social media accounts, it immediately attracts attention. An example of that could be seen over the weekend, when one of Sasha’s friends posted on TikTok a video of them having fun.
    In the said video, Sasha and her friend were rapping along to MoneyBagg Yo’s “Said Sum” remix featuring City Girls. Both of the young girls were specifically lip syncing to JT’s verse that went, “City Girls make ’em wish like Ray J (Let me talk to ’em)/ All these n***as wanna f**k JT (They do)/ Hellcat, this a SRT (Skrrt, skrrt)/ Pull up, G-Wag’ 63 (Ow)/ Make a fifty-five suck they teeth/ He want a menage with a nеw body (Ow)/ Man, you n***as can’t f**k with me/ ‘Cause I came from thе bottom (Yeah).”

    The video soon went viral on social media with many people praising Sasha for perfectly lip syncing to the song. “Seeing that video of Sasha Obama on tiktok rappin City Girls just really warmed my heart,” one person wrote. “Seeing Sasha Obama recite City Girls lyrics brings so much joy to my heart,” another echoed the sentiment, as one other said, “i went from having a crush on barack obama when i was younger to having a crush on sasha obama now.”
    “Saw Sasha Obama on TikTok and I am proud of our community’s niece for leaning into the culture,” someone else commented. On the other hand, an individual chimed in, “Sasha Obama is a beautiful young woman having fun and enjoying life with her friends. Auntie June is so proud of her.”
    JT herself has reacted to the viral video with a heart-eyes emoticon.

    The birthday bash on tompetty.com featured new and archive performances, lost interviews, footage of Petty in the recording studio, and tributes and testimonials from the late rocker’s famous friends and fans.
    Highlights included Beck’s take on “Don’t Come Around Here No More”, Browne’s “The Waiting”, and Lukas Nelson and Margo Price’s cover of Petty and Stevie Nicks’ “Stop Draggin’ My Heart Around”.
    Stevie also offered up a moving tribute to her late pal, stating, “My world’s just darker since he’s been gone,” while Lenny Kravitz thanked Tom for “taking a chance on a young kid in 1989” and asking the “Let Love Rule” star to open for him and his band The Heartbreakers on tour. He added, “Your music is magical and will live on forever.”
    There were also tributes from Jakob Dylan, Chris Stapleton, Tom’s brother Bruce and his daughter Adria, Kiefer Sutherland, music mogul Jimmy Iovine, and Post Malone, who offered, “Your music has affected me in so many different ways. It has inspired me to be a better musician.”
