    Clive Davis Adds Elton John and Queen to Line-Up of Second Virtual Pre-Grammy Event

    WENN/C.Smith

    Feeling better after undergoing treatment for Bell’s Palsy, the legendary producer sets May 15 as the new date for the postponed leg of his pre-Grammys celebration.

    Apr 22, 2021

    AceShowbiz –
    Music mogul Clive Davis has added Elton John and Queen stars Brian May and Roger Taylor to the all-star line-up for his rescheduled virtual pre-Grammys celebration.

    The legendary producer was forced to postpone the second leg of his Grammys-eve event in March after undergoing treatment for Bell’s Palsy, which can cause temporary facial paralysis due to sudden muscle weakness.

    Now he’s feeling good and is ready to party again, setting May 15 as the new date for the online get-together, benefitting the Grammy Museum.

    And he’s invited more big names to join in the fun, with Elton, May and Taylor set to appear alongside the likes of Paul Simon, Joni Mitchell, Carlos Santana, John Mellencamp, Berry Gordy, Dionne Warwick, Barry Manilow, and Earth, Wind & Fire, as well as Slash, Dave Grohl, Rob Thomas, H.E.R., and DaBaby.

    Previous reports also revealed Oprah Winfrey would be taking part in a special pre-recorded interview with Davis to pay tribute to Tina Turner.

    Sharing the new date with the New York Post’s Page Six, Davis said, “Part I was truly memorable – a special lifetime night. You just won’t believe what we have in store for Part II.”

    “I am deeply privileged to be joined by some of the greatest artists ever while paying tribute to several of the most electrifying live performances in music history.”

    Davis hosted his first pre-Grammys virtual event on January 30, the eve of the original ceremony date, before Recording Academy bosses decided to delay the prizegiving until March 14 as a result of rising coronavirus cases.

    That invitation-only gig boasted appearances from stars such as Bruce Springsteen, Barry Gibb, Alicia Keys, John Legend, and Rod Stewart.

    Quando Rondo Insists 'End of Story' Isn't Meant as a Diss to King Von

    Instagram

    When addressing controversy surrounding the song’s title which seems like a jab at the late rapper, the ‘Imperfect Flower’ rhymer says it’s a mere coincidence as he had no idea his rival had a song titled ‘Crazy Story’.

    Apr 22, 2021

    AceShowbiz –
    Quando Rondo has set things straight on fans’ speculation regarding his song “End of Story”, which is believed to be a jab at King Von. In the latest episode of his interview with Angela Yee which was uploaded on YouTube on Wednesday, April 21, the 22-year-old star denied that the 2020 track is a diss song aimed at his late rival.

    The controversy began as fans noted that Von had a song titled “Crazy Story”, prompting many to speculate that Rondo named his song “End of Story” to take a shot at the Chicago-born artist. The Savannah native debunked this theory though as he claimed that he wasn’t aware his nemesis had a song titled “Crazy Story”.

    “Me saying ‘End of Story’ is just me saying this is the end of the story,” Rondo said in the interview. “I had no intentions — To be honest with you, ma’am, I didn’t even know bruh has three or four songs called ‘Crazy Stories’.”

      See also…

    Rondo went on explaining that what he actually means with the title is that the song would be the only time he would rap about the shooting. He then called a friend, whom he described as his “big brother,” to back his claim.

    “I think you was saying you wasn’t going to talk about it no more. You was done with it,” Rondo’s friend said through the phone speakers. “At first, you said something like ‘End of Discussion’… Lowkey, I didn’t pay attention until it came out.”

    Though he didn’t mean to diss Von with the song’s title, Rondo did address the altercation that led to the shooting death of Von in the song’s lyrics. “Damn right, we scrеaming self-defense, he shouldn’t have never put his hands on me/ Look at the footage, that’s all the evidence, see them p***y n***as shouldn’t have ran up on me,” he spits his bars, defending his associate Lul Timm a.k.a. Timothy Leeks who has been accused of the murder.

    Louis Tomlinson has told his fans to stop listening to a leaked song of his that has surfaced online.

    The singer was left fuming after “Help” made its way onto the world wide web, as he has been working hard to nail “the right sound” for his upcoming record.

    He sings on the track, “Why am I awake in last night’s clothes? Why is there a street sign on the floor?”

    “I spent a lot of time crafting the right songs and the right sound,” he tweeted in response to the leak. “The fact this has been leaked is bulls**t. It’s a s**t song.”

    Louis’ reaction to the leak prompted many fans to back him up. “we’re sorry for this leak, but its not a s**t song pls don’t be unfair to yourself,” one pleaded with him, while another vowed, “Gonna not hear the leaked @Louis_Tomlinson song… wanna wait til Louis decides to officially release it.”

    Someone else sent message of positivity to Louis. “do you ever wonder how many lives you’ve help because it’s a lot,” the user wrote. “You said today in your tweet that the song that was leaked was s**t. And it wasn’t which means as a fandom we have failed to make you see the glory you bring to the world. Your amazing. Thank you.”

    Louis teased a ‘big’ surprise for his fans.

    The former One Direction star later teased that he has a “big” surprise on the way for his fans. He wrote, “Got something BIG planned later this year! It’s going to be special!!”

    WENN/Avalon

    In a short clip she shares via her social media account, the ‘Wrecking Ball’ hitmaker lip syncs her parts of the song with newspaper cuttings play out on a screen behind her.

    Apr 22, 2021

    AceShowbiz –
    Miley Cyrus pokes fun at her relationship history in a new Instagram video.

    The clip, which appears to be a stunt to promote the remix of Australian singer The Kid LAROI’s hit “Without You”, featuring the “Can’t Be Tamed” star as a guest vocalist, features the singer alongside pointed headlines from the past few years.

    As Miley lip syncs her parts of the song, the newspaper cuttings play out on a screen behind her, referring to her marriage with Liam Hemsworth, fling with Kaitlynn Carter and romance with Cody Simpson.

    One headline reads, “Miley Cyrus Romance Retrospective: All the Men and Women She’s Dated.” Another brings up, “What Really Ended Miley Cyrus and Nick Jonas’ Relationship.”

    “So there I go, can’t make a wife out of a h*e,” Miley mimes. “I’ll never find the words to say I’m sorry but I’m scared to be alone.” The clip comes to an end after Miley shares a passionate kiss with shirtless TikTok star King Moxu.

    In the caption of the post, the former “Hannah Montana” star simply writes, “So there I go……..hey @thekidlaroi @kingmoxuofficial.”

    Kid Laroi’s “Without You” has been one of the biggest Australian hits of the year so far, and peaked in the top 30 on the U.S. Billboard Hot 100.

    In late March, Kid has shared Instagram photos of him in the studio with Miley. At the time, he teased in the caption, “hannah montana hannah montana hannah montana hannah montana hannah montana hannah montana hannah montana hannah montana I got molly I got white I got molly I got white I’ve been trapping trapping trapping trapping all damn night.”

    Fans are apparently getting a Miley Cyrus and The Kid LAROI collaboration. On Tuesday, April 20, the former “Hannah Montana” star took to social media to share a video in which she teased a new “Without You” remix with the Australian crooner.

    The 28-year-old star posted the clip on her Instagram account. In the footage, she could be seen singing the pre-chorus of the song as headlines about her past relationships appeared in the background. At the end of the video, she kissed TikTok star KingMoxu. “So there I go……..hey @thekidlaroi @kingmoxuofficial,” she wrote in the accompaniment of the post.

    Cyrus’ post has since been flooded with enthusiastic comments from her online devotees. One user in particular exclaimed, “OMGG can’t wait for the remix!!!” Another individual raved, “It sounds so good, I already want to hear it in full.” A third, meanwhile, urged her, “Release the remix!!”

    “That’s my boy,” LAROI said of Justin. “That’s somebody I’ve looked up to since I can remember, so it’s just super crazy when he reached out… The past month and a bit we’ve been getting to know each other . I’m blessed to be able to call him my friend.”

    Wyatt Pike Releases New Original Song After 'American Idol' Exit

    Instagram

    Meanwhile, Luke Bryan’s wife Caroline reacts to rumors suggesting that the 20-year-old singing hopeful left the competition show after having a fight with her husband.

    Apr 20, 2021

    AceShowbiz –
    Wyatt Pike has treated his fans to a new song. More than a week after he was unveiled to have exited “American Idol”, the singer dropped an original track called “Friday Nights” and announced the release on social media.

    Making use of Instagram on Monday, April 19, the 20-year-old singing hopeful shared a video of him playing his guitar as he sang the new song. He captioned it, ” ‘Friday Nights’ – Wyatt Pike (Original). As promised, here’s a video of my tune ‘Friday Nights’! I had fun filming this for you yesterday, hope you enjoy! ‘Friday Nights’ is available on all streaming platforms!”

    Wyatt has since gained praise from his online devotees. One user raved, “You are very talented I wish you had stayed on idol. I believe you would have won!” Another exclaimed, “So good! Miss you on idol!!!” A third additionally gushed, “So talented your music truly makes an impact.”

      See also…

    Wyatt made it to the top 16 before deciding to leave “American Idol”. His departure was announced by host Ryan Seacrest in the Monday, April 12 episode before announcing the season’s top 12. Ryan said at that time, “Before we get to the results, I have to tell you that finalist Wyatt Pike will not be competing in the competition. He had to drop out, but we wish him the very best.”

    Two days later, the Utah native finally broke his silence on his abrupt exit from the singing competition show. He penned on Instagram, “I had to leave the @AmericanIdol competition for personal reasons but am so thankful I get to play music for the rest of my life. Fellow contestants – miss you all, good luck! Thank you to everyone for your support… do stick around for more musical things soon!”

    While he did not detail the reason behind his departure, fans assumed that he left the show after having a fight with judge Luke Bryan. Rumor has it that he punched Luke in the face, leaving the country star with a black eye. Hence, the latter was absent from the April 12 episode.

    Both Wyatt and Luke have yet to address the rumors. Luke’s wife Caroline, however, was quick to set the record straight on TikTok on Sunday, April 18. “Trust me, he has covid,” she replied to fan speculation, before quipping, “I kinda wish there was a fight. I’m sick of taking care of kids alone and sanitizing. I’m peeing Lysol!!!”
