      Queen's Roger Taylor Brands Brexit 'Dreadful' for Musicians

      by

      Instagram

      The Queen drummer says ‘borders are a dreadful invention of mankind’ after Brexit left U.K. musicians to have to acquire a visa for every European country they wish to perform in.

      Feb 23, 2021
      AceShowbiz – Queen’s Roger Taylor has branded Brexit a “dreadful retrograde step” for musicians and their crews.
      The 71-year-old drummer is the latest musician to speak out on post-Brexit touring after they were left out of the Brexit trade deal, meaning they may have to acquire a visa for every European country they wish to perform in, a policy which could lead to artists being unable to afford to play in the EU.
      The “We Will Rock You” hitmaker insisted that while many artists have their music and publishing income to fall back on, touring crews have already been stripped of their earnings amid the COVID-19 pandemic, with touring off due to travel restrictions, and the fact the government has no plans at this time to renegotiate a deal with the EU, could also leave live crews out of pocket.
      Speaking on BBC Radio 4’s “The World This Weekend” show, he said, “Borders are a dreadful invention of mankind, and so we are just putting up another one, and I think it’s a dreadful retrograde step.”

      Roger – whose band were forced to postpone their European tour twice as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic – continued, “I know our road crew, all the guys that make our touring work, they are the one that have suffered.”
      “Not so much for the artists, we can fall back on our songwriting and our publishing, they can’t. It’s a daily, weekly job for them and so it’s made it really hard for our industry, very hard indeed.”
      Roger’s comments come after Radiohead’s Colin Greenwood implored the UK government to “renegotiate its provision” for touring post-Brexit.
      Sir Elton John has also called for a “short-term fix” to make it easier for British musicians to tour in Europe.

      According to the ‘Mandela: Long Walk to Freedom’ actor, his next single coming out soon is a ‘really cool’ collaboration with the ‘Hot Girl Summer’ hitmaker.

      Feb 23, 2021
      AceShowbiz – Megan Thee Stallion and Idris Elba have teamed up on a new “banger,” the actor and musician has revealed.
      During an interview with MistaJam on CapitalFM’s “The All-New Capital Weekender” show, Idris let slip that he’s teamed up with the U.S. rap sensation and record producer Davido on a new tune.
      “I’m doing more music, Jam you know what it’s like, I’m trying to stay with it when we’re not gigging now,” he said. “So I’ve got some really cool music coming, been working with Franky Wah on a tune I’m looking forward to droppin’. I’ve got a bit of a banger, I don’t want to say too much but me, Megan Thee Stallion and Davido that’s coming. Shout out to the fanatics.”

      The “Luther” star has previously teamed up with the likes of grime star Wiley, Sean Paul, and MC Kah-Lo on tracks.
      Meanwhile, Idris previously revealed he would love to perform with pop megastar Taylor Swift.
      The “Fast & Furious Presents: Hobbs & Shaw” actor starred alongside the “Love Story” hitmaker in 2019’s “Cats” and later said he’d love to join the Grammy-winner on stage in the future.
      “I’ve known Taylor a few years. People see the album sales, the awards. What they don’t see is the hard work,” he said. “She is an incredibly hard-working person, she isn’t resting on her achievements. To perform live with her would be fun and hopefully we can make that happen.”

      6ix9ine Involved in Heated Argument With Lil Reese and 600 Breezy Over King Von

      by

      Instagram

      This arrives after the 24-year-old ‘TROLLZ’ spitter released his new track ‘ZAZA’, in which he disses Lil Durk who lost his friend Von in a shooting accident back in November 2020.

      Feb 23, 2021
      AceShowbiz – Tekashi69 (6ix9ine) had a heated online spat with fellow rappers Lil Reese and 600 Breezy during his Instagram Live session on Saturday, February 20. The argument started after the “GOOBA” spitter made some offensive comments about late rapper King Von, who was gunned down last November at an Atlanta nightclub.
      Tekashi enraged Reese and 600 after he pointed out the alleged double standards for him and other rappers before defending himself for taunting Von. Reese first caught wind of it and entered the Brooklyn star’s Live and that was when things got heated. At one point during the Live session, Reese even flashed his gun to an unbothered Tekashi.

      Instead, Tekashi asked him why he wasn’t that confident when he was attacked in 2019. That prompted some of the latter’s folks to join him in and blast the “TROLLZ” rapper, saying that he was “too internet” and “too disrespectful.” Still, Tekashi insisted that he didn’t see why speaking on Von was wrong when Lil Durk did the same. “Hold on. So when y’all dissin’ Tooka, it’s not disrespectful? N***a s***ted on himself, wanna pull out a gun on IG Live …,” Tekashi argued.
      Further making things escalated was Chicago rapper 600 who also hoped on the Live, slamming Tekashi for disrespecting Von. “You gonna die when I see you, respectfully. I’m not [Meek Mill], n***a. And you gotta move around with security ’cause you a b***h. You gotta move around with security ’cause you a h** n***a,” he told Tekashi. “Real street n****s don’t move with security guards … You gonna die n***a … Your security guards better be strapped, all that. You police, fed-a** n***a.”
      This arrives after 6ix9ine released his new track “ZAZA”, in which he dissed Durk. “You ain’t killed s**t, you let your man’s die,” he raps on the song, which music video featured him trolling Meek over their verbal altercation a few days ago. “They killed your cousin and your man and you still ain’t do s**t.”

      Jonas Brothers Shelve New Album as Their Reunion Is 'Effectively Over'

      by

      Instagram

      Kevin, Joe, and Nick Jonas are reportedly taking another break from their band as they put on hold their plan for a follow-up album to ‘Happiness Begins’.

      Feb 23, 2021
      AceShowbiz – The Jonas Brothers’ reunion is said to be “effectively over.”
      The family trio – siblings Nick, Joe and Kevin Jonas – reunited in February 2019, almost six years after they split in October 2013, due to a “deep rift” within the band, but coronavirus hit their plans for a follow-up album to comeback record “Happiness Begins” and all three reportedly now feel they have “moved on” from their music as so much time has passed.
      “The Jonas Brothers’ reunion is effectively over for now,” a source close to the band told Britain’s The Sun newspaper. “They had an album ready to go and were about to announce it last March but then the pandemic happened and everything was postponed.”
      “Since then they’ve all been working on their own projects and they feel like they’ve moved on from that music. There’s been no big falling out this time, but realistically it will be a while before they do music as a trio again.”

        See also…

      The news comes after Nick announced he’ll release a new solo single, “Spaceman”, later this week (beg22Feb21), while Joe was recently cast in upcoming war movie “Devotion”.
      In February last year (20), the “Sucker” hitmakers revealed they had been “working hard” on a new album, but coronavirus then hit before they could announce the record.
      Nick said at the time, “We have been back in the studio with Ryan Tedder, working hard on the new record, which is going to be announced in the next couple of weeks – title, tracklist, all that.”
      A new album was listed for pre-order on the group’s website but it has now been removed, and last year, they shelved plans for a memoir, “Blood”, following a series of delays.

      Daft Punk’s publicist, Kathryn Frazier, has since confirmed the group has parted ways although no further details have been revealed.
      The musicians rose to fame in the late 1990s as part of the French house movement before blending their songs with elements of disco, funk, rock, techno, and synthpop.
      They released their first album, “Homework”, in 1997 and scored hits with singles like “Around the World” and “Da Funk”.
      They went on to release three more studio projects – “Discovery” in 2001, “Human After All” in 2005, and 2013’s “Random Access Memories”, which became their final album, winning five Grammy Awards, including Album of the Year and Record of the Year for their Pharrell Williams collaboration, “Get Lucky”.
      Their other chart smashes include “One More Time”, “Harder, Better, Faster, Stronger”, “Digital Love”, and “Instant Crush”.
      They also worked with The Weeknd on his 2016 hits “Starboy” and “I Feel It Coming”.

      Instagram

      The Take That frontman is uncovered to have encouraged the ‘Mysterious Girl’ hitmaker to get back in the studio after the two of them did one of the former’s virtual ‘Crooner Sessions’ gigs.

      Feb 22, 2021
      AceShowbiz – British pop star Gary Barlow has teamed up with Australian singer Peter Andre for a new project.
      The “Mysterious Girl” hitmaker joined the Take That frontman during his online “Crooner Sessions” virtual gigs last year (2020), and Barlow not only encouraged his pal to start working on new material, but also suggested they collaborate in the studio.
      Writing in his new! magazine column, the “All Night All Right” singer revealed, “I did a Q&A [question and answer session] on my YouTube channel and was asked what made me decide to get back in the studio and actually stick to it.”
      “Randomly, I got the push from two people. One was [his son] Junior telling me to write something cool, current, and fresh.”

      “The other was Gary Barlow. Gary and I did one of his ‘Crooner Sessions’ last year in the first lockdown and afterwards I sent him songs I had written and he basically told me to get my bum back in the studio and release some music.”
      “So now I’m working on two projects – one album that I plan to release soon, and another separate project with Gary. Watch this space!”
      And Peter’s eldest son, 15-year-old Junior, whose mother is the star’s ex-wife and former glamour model Katie Price, has also been joining his dad at work.
      He added, “Things are coming together in the studio and I’m working hard to get the album I want.”
      “Junior has been in with me at weekends and he’s really enjoying the experience.”

      Artist of the Week: Pooh Shiesty

      by

      Facebook

      The ‘Back in Blood’ rapper gains momentum with his first commercial mixtape ‘Shiesty Season’ as he breaks into Billboard charts and puts his name on numerous artist-to-watch lists.

      Feb 22, 2021
      AceShowbiz – Pooh Shiesty is putting his name on the map with his debut mixtape “Shiesty Season”. The 21-year-old Memphis upstart released his first commercial record and linked with a number of fellow rising hip-hop stars, less than a year after he was taken under Gucci Mane’s wing on 1017 Records.
      “You getting Big Shiest on this mixtape – I’m touching on all categories. Expect me getting versatile. It’s lit,” he told Zane Lowe on Apple Music Radio show before dropping the mixtape. He said in another radio interview, “I switched it up a lot. I got songs from every genre. I’m bringing it to y’all.”
      The hip-hop star didn’t disappoint as he dropped “Back in Blood”. Featuring Lil Durk, the single is a tribute to Durk’s late labelmate King Von. Shiesty broke into top 20 on Billboard Hot 100 as the track became one of the new favorites, peaking at No. 17 on the chart and climbing up to No. 8 on Hot R&B/Hip-Hop Songs.

      He additionally scored two more Hot 100 entries with a follow-up single “Neighbors” which featured Big30 and Durkio’s song “Should’ve Ducked” from his latest studio album “The Voice”. The tracks rose to No. 51 and No. 53 respectively on the U.S. singles chart.
      Shiesty’s star shone equally bright on Billboard Hot 200 as his mixtape bowed at No. 4 on the chart. Powered by collaborations with his mentor Gucci Mane, 21 Savage, Tay Keith, Foogiano, Choppa Wop, Lil Hank, and Guwop, the record also reached No. 2 on Top R&B/Hip-Hop Albums.
      His impressive feats prompted Billboard to name him one of the 2021 Artists to Watch in January and crowned him the Hip-Hop and R&B Rookie of the Month in February.
      On top of that, the rapper, real name Lontrell Denell Williams Jr., appeared on Spotify’s “Rap Caviar” as one of their 10 Artists to Watch in 2021. He’s also ranked third on Rolling Stone’s “Breakthrough 25”, occupied No. 30 on Billboard’s Emerging Artists chart, and spent more than 20 weeks atop Pandora’s Trendsetter Chart.
