    Billie Eilish's Brother Finneas Underlines Importance of Staying at Home Amid COVID-19 Crisis

    Instagram

    The Grammy-winning producer and hitmaker has turned his Fader Fort digital festival performance into a public service announcement to those who are still ignoring social distancing guidelines.
    Apr 1, 2020
    AceShowbiz – Grammy-winning producer and hitmaker FINNEAS turned his Fader Fort digital festival performance into a public service announcement on Tuesday (March 31), as he begged fans to stay at home during the coronavirus crisis.
    Billie Eilish’s brother performed “I Don’t Miss You at All” from his home studio towards the end of the first day of the 18-hour digital event and then offered up a stern message to fans who are still ignoring stay-at-home guidelines.
    “If it is at all possible for you to do so with your current job, please, please, please stay home and know that the sooner everybody gets on board with this and self isolates and social distances, the sooner we can get everything going again,” he said.
    “I heard a terrifying statistic that if everyone, except essential personnel…, social distanced, we’d know who has it (Covid-19) and who doesn’t in something like 15 days, and that’s all it would take.”
    “There are flaws in that but I think the main point in all of this is, it’s so, so, so important for the health of everybody in this country and around the world for us all to understand it’s not about how it impacts us; it’s about how it impacts everybody, so I urge you all to take this as seriously as you possibly can. Stay at home.”

    The first day of the Fader Fort festival also featured live at-home performances by Noah Cyrus, Hanson, and Little Dragon, archived showcases, videos, and tutorials on meditation, cooking and how to roll a joint.
    A second day was added as the festival began and that will kick off at 10 A.M. EST on Wednesday (April 01) on https://www.thefader.com/event/digital-fort-2020.
    Meanwhile, Miley Cyrus’ daily “Bright Minded Instagram Live” show continues on Wednesday with guests including Zoe Kravitz, new dad Diplo, and Anitta.
    Another livestream highlight is FINNEAS and Eilish’s recent interview at the Grammy Museum in Los Angeles, which will be posted on the venue’s website at 2 P.M. EST on Wednesday.

    Mariah Carey and The Neptunes' Induction to Songwriters Hall of Fame Delayed to 2021

    Instagram

    As the coronavirus continues to wreak havoc around the world, the Songwriters Hall of Fame’s 51st Annual Induction and Awards Gala gets postponed one year to June 10.
    Apr 1, 2020
    AceShowbiz – Mariah Carey, the Eurythmics and The Neptunes will have to wait until next year (21) to celebrate their inductions into the Songwriters Hall of Fame as the coronavirus chaos continues.
    The stars, alongside Steve Miller, Rick Nowels and Motown icon William Stevenson, were all due to be inducted into the institution at a special ceremony in New York in June, but the event has since been postponed until 2021.
    In a statement issued on Tuesday (March 31), SHOF President and CEO, Linda Moran, wrote, “In facing the reality of the future being unknown and the extraordinary number of schedules which would have to be rearranged, although sad and very disappointing, it seemed to be more prudent and in the best interests and well-being of everyone, especially our inductees, honorees, and guests to move the 2020 class of inductees and honorees in its entirety to next year’s gala when they can be truly celebrated.”
    Added SHOF Chairman Nile Rodgers, “We talk all the time about great songs making the world a better place but that’s never been more true than at challenged times like these which are unprecedented.”
    “The wonderful songs that members of the Songwriters Hall of Fame have created are currently bringing comfort to billions of people all over the world in their time of uncertainty and need and that is something I believe we can all find gratitude in. We are family, please be safe.”

    The Songwriters Hall of Fame’s 51st Annual Induction & Awards Gala will now take place on 10 June, 2021.
    In addition to the Class of 2020 salute, “We’ve Only Just Begun” composer and lyricist Paul Williams will receive the prestigious Johnny Mercer Award, and Universal Music Publishing Chairman and CEO, Jody Gerson, will be presented with the Abe Olman Publisher Award at the rescheduled ceremony.

    Spain's Primavera Sound Festival Pushed Back to Late August Due to COVID-19 Pandemic

    Also getting delayed because of the coronavirus outbreak is the 2020 Essence Festival in New Orleans, Louisiana, which was originally planned to take place on July 1 to 5.
    Mar 31, 2020
    AceShowbiz – Spain’s Primavera Sound Festival and the 2020 Essence Festival in New Orleans, Louisiana have become the latest music events postponed due to the coronavirus pandemic.
    Primavera officials had been set to mark the 20th anniversary of the bash in early June, with performers including The Strokes, Lana Del Rey, Tyler, the Creator, Beck, Massive Attack, Iggy Pop, Disclosure, The National, Kacey Musgraves and Young Thug.
    However, the COVID-19 outbreak has prompted festival bosses to delay the celebrations until late August.
    In a statement, they wrote, “There are things that only happen once in a lifetime. The current global COVID-19 health crisis is, unfortunately, one of them. But it won’t be the only one.”
    “The spirit of solidarity and collective response of society in the face of this emergency will live on for a long time, and will allow us to embrace exceptional situations and overcome the challenge… and to literally embrace each other once it is over.”

    Meanwhile, this summer’s Essence Festival, originally planned for 1 to 5 July, has also been pushed back due to the coronavirus chaos.
    Officials are working on securing a new date for this autumn, although it’s not yet known if headliners Janet Jackson and Bruno Mars will remain on the bill.

    Texas’ SXSW and Florida’s Ultra Music, as well as Britain’s Glastonbury, were all cancelled due to the pandemic, while Coachella and Stagecoach in California, and Bonnaroo in Tennessee have been postponed until later in the year.
