      WENN

      The ‘Born Here Live Here Die Here’ singer confirms that he is likely to return for another season of the singing competition and he’s very excited about it.
      Aug 14, 2020
      AceShowbiz – Luke Bryan is in advanced negotiations to return for another season of “American Idol”.
      The star judged the final stages of 2020’s Season 18, alongside Lionel Richie and Katy Perry, which were filmed remotely due to the COVID-19 pandemic.
      For the next series of the long-running TV singing competition, producers have announced “Idol Across America” – a live virtual audition tour visiting all 50 states to help them search for acts as the crisis continues – and Luke has confirmed he’s likely to return for the live shows.
      “We’re still in the meticulous negotiations, but things are looking positive for that and I’m very excited about it,” he tells HuffPostUK.
      The star has been keeping busy during the pandemic, and in addition to releasing his new album, “Born Here Live Here Die Here”, he has been using the time to embrace the outdoor lifestyle.
      “Well, my wife and I, we’re heading to South Carolina in a little bit and I just got to get the album out, my nine-year-old, he turned 10 on 8 August, and I just still go outside, catch some fish, spend some time outdoors, and I’ve got to get all of this sweetcorn out of the field,” he adds.
      Bryan recently admitted dad knows best after his father warned him against planting acres of the crop, calling Luke “an idiot” and insisting he wouldn’t “know what to do with that much sweetcorn.”

      Luke Bryan Insists Lady Antebellum Has Long Been Nicknamed Lady A in Response to Name Change 'Mess'

      by

      WENN

      The ‘American Idol’ judge has seemingly defended Charles Kelley, Dave Haywood, and Hillary Scott in response to the feud between the trio and blues singer Anita White.
      Aug 13, 2020
      AceShowbiz – Luke Bryan sympathises with fellow country stars Lady Antebellum for the “mess” surrounding their recent name change.
      The “Need You Now” hitmakers decided to shorten their name from Lady Antebellum earlier this summer (20), after acknowledging its association with slavery in America’s southern states, but they have since become embroiled in a legal battle with blues singer Anita White, who has performed under the moniker Lady A for decades.
      The headline-grabbing fight has split the country community, with Maren Morris and Margo Price siding with White, and now Bryan, who previously toured with the group, has offered his thoughts on the controversy.
      Asked for his opinion during a Tuesday night (11Aug20) appearance on America’s “Watch What Happens Live With Andy Cohen” show, he admitted bandmates Charles Kelley, Dave Haywood, and Hillary Scott are in a tough spot as they have long been nicknamed Lady A.
      “I can say that for years, everyone… in the country music community has really referred to them as Lady A…,” Bryan said. “Like, I would call (his agents) and say, ‘Hey, get the Lady A guys on the phone.’ ”
      “I think it was a great option for them to choose… (but) now it’s tricky…,” he carefully continued. “Who knows what they’ll have to figure out. But what a mess in the aftermath of removing ‘antebellum.’ ”
      The stars formerly known as Lady Antebellum are suing White to block her from using their new stage name, having trademarked ‘Lady A’ back in 2011.
