      Instagram

      When celebrating a new milestone in his life, the ‘Castle on the Hill’ hitmaker treats fans to a photo of his younger self dressing as a pirate which is placed next to his birthday cake.

      Feb 18, 2021
      AceShowbiz – Ed Sheeran celebrated his 30th birthday on Wednesday (February 17) by teasing fans a new album is on the way.
      The “Castle on the Hill” hitmaker celebrated the milestone and used an Instagram post marking the special occasion to reveal his career plans for 2021.
      The “Thinking Out Loud” hitmaker told his followers he plans to drop a “fourth instalment in the series” this year – a reference to his mathematics-themed album titles “Plus, Multiply, and Divide”.
      Alongside a picture of his birthday cake and a photo of himself as a child, dressed as a pirate, the British singer wrote, “30 today. Thank you for all your wonderful messages, I feel very loved. Currently dressed the same as I was on my 3rd birthday about to chow down on Colin the pirate caterpillar (cake), poor bloke. I’ll be back online with the 4th instalment in the series later this year, until then xx (sic).”

      The announcement follows the December release of the new dad’s latest track, “Afterglow”.
      ” ‘Afterglow’ is a song I wrote last year that I wanted to release for you,” he wrote. “It’s not the first single from the next album, it’s just a song I love, and hope you love too. Enjoy! Have a safe and happy festive break and New Year’s. Back to dad land for me now.”

      It marked the first new material from Ed since his 2019 album, “No.6 Collaborations Project”, which featured the likes of Stormzy, Khalid, Cardi B, Chance The Rapper and Eminem.
      In December 2019, the 29-year-old musician announced that he’s taking a break from making music. “Hello all. Gonna go on another break again,” he told his fans and followers on Instagram.
      “The Divide era and tour changed my life in so many ways, but now it’s all over it’s time to go out and see some more of the world,” he explained. “I’ve been a bit non stop since 2017 so I’m just gonna take a breather to travel, write and read. I’ll be off all social media until it’s time to come back.”

      Vince Gill Addresses Morgan Wallen Controversy When Debuting New Song About Racism

      by

      Instagram

      When appearing on ‘CBS This Morning’, the ‘March On’ crooner expresses his disappointment at the ‘7 Summers’ singer since his N-word drama places country music as a target.

      Feb 18, 2021
      AceShowbiz – Vince Gill has debuted a new song about racism in country music after revealing he’s among the artists who have spoken sternly to Morgan Wallen after he was caught using the N-word in a TMZ video.
      The singer’s record deal has been suspended and his music has been pulled from hundreds of radio stations across America following the drama, and Gill admits he knew as soon as the controversy broke that country music would become a target.
      Dropping a snippet of his new track, “March On”, during an appearance on “CBS This Morning” on Wednesday, February 17, Gill said, “It was just disappointing. I knew that everybody was going to massacre country music. And white America, when they make the argument, ‘Well, I hear it (the N-word) in rap music all the time…,’ I go, ‘Have you not been paying attention to the last 300 to 400 years – how that word has been used by the white community?'”
      “It’s derogatory, dismissive and hurtful. It doesn’t have a place.”

        See also…

      In his new song, Gill sings, “We need to cause good trouble/Preach on brothers, sisters stay strong/hearts are changing, march on, march on.”
      [embedded content]
      As well as Gill, Maren Morris and her husband Ryan Hurd have spoken to Wallen, who has apologised for his racist remark and urged fans to stop defending him.
      Morris told CBS, “Morgan is a symptom of a much bigger disease of what our genre is right now,” while her husband, whose song “Heartless” was recorded by Wallen, added, “I don’t want it to seem like we’re piling on Morgan, but there’s no place for that word.”

      Kobe Bryant's Fans Fuming Over Meek Mill's Lyrics Referencing Helicopter Crash

      by

      WENN/Avalon/Instar

      Twitter drags the ‘Tupac Back’ rapper after a snippet surfaces online of his upcoming collaboration with Lil Baby, in which he raps about the late NBA legend.

      Feb 18, 2021
      AceShowbiz – Meek Mill’s attempt to commemorate Kobe Bryant in one of his songs completely falls flat. The Philly rapper has enraged both music fans and devotees of the late NBA legend with lyrics in his yet-to-be-released song.
      On Wednesday, February 17, a snippet surfaced online on a fan page, previewing his upcoming collaboration with Lil Baby. In part of the track, the “Ima Boss” spitter is heard rapping, “And if I ever lack I’m going out with my choppa it be another Kobe/ S**t I can tell they ain’t never know me.”

      Baby also makes a reference to the former Los Angeles Lakers star. “I damn near wanna have a son so I can name him Kobe,” he spits in his part, but it’s Meek’s part which has irritated social media users to the point they’re dragging the 33-year-old star.

        See also…

      “Absolutely not. Wth,” one reacted to the snippet. Another expressed his/her anger on Twitter as writing, “This is f**king disgusting.” A third critic slammed for the “Tupac Back” emcee, “Meek a f**king clown smh.”
      A fourth one agreed, adding, “Nah this ain’t it, at all.” Another reacted in disbelief, “Meek Mill said what about Kobe.. going out with your chopper?!” Someone else called him out for being “disrespectful” with the lyrics, tweeting, “F**k Meek Mill really disrespectful. Idgaf what anyone thinks.”

      Meek has not responded to the backlash over his song’s snippet. Weeks ago, he teased a collaboration with Baby and Lil Durk, but it’s unclear if the snippet in question is from the same track.
      Kobe died in a helicopter crash that also killed 8 others, including his 13-year-old daughter Gianna, on January 26, 2020. He was 41 years old. On the first anniversary of his passing last month, the NBA barely made any mention about the former professional basketball player’s death, reportedly because they honored his widow Vanessa Bryant’s request for the organization to withhold any tributes to him this year.

      Petition Calling for Removal of Sia's 'Music' From Golden Globe Nomination Gets Over 50K Signatures

      by

      IMAX

      The Kate Hudson-starring musical drama has been slammed for its portrayal of autism, and the ‘Chandelier’ hitmaker, who serves as its director, was criticized for Maddie Ziegler casting.

      Feb 18, 2021
      AceShowbiz – An online petition launched to urge Hollywood Foreign Press Association bosses to pull Golden Globe nods for Sia Furler’s new film “Music” has been signed by over 57,000 people.
      The film has been slammed for its portrayal of autism, and the new Change.org petition is calling on critics and industry officials to let first-time director Sia know her film is not OK.
      “Music is severely ableist and contributes to harmful stereotypes of autistic people,” the petition reads. “The Golden Globes must rescind its two nominations for Best Musical/Comedy Picture and Best Musical/Comedy Actress: Kate Hudson, and the entertainment industry must promise to actively work towards inclusion and better disability representation.”
      The author of the petition insists the film is unwatchable for those with autism due to “strobing lights” and “quick camera movements.”
      “About 1 in 4 autistic people have epilepsy, so the movie can cause seizures and is also very uncomfortable for those without it,” the author adds. “Sia has made it in such a way that a majority of us will be unable to watch it.”
      The “Chandelier” hitmaker has also been criticized for casting dancer/actress Maddie Ziegler, the longtime star of her performance art videos, as a non-verbal autistic teen in the film.

        See also…

      “Actual autistic people were ignored in the casting process when Sia cast neurotypical Maddie Ziegler to play the autistic character, Music, because she ‘can’t do a project without her,’ ” the petition reads.
      “To make things even worse, Ziegler learned how to ‘act autistic’ by watching videos of autistic children having meltdowns uploaded to YouTube by their parents without their consent.”
      The petition’s writer also takes aim at director Sia’s response to the backlash from autism experts.
      “When faced with justified critique, Sia decided to personally attack members of the community e.g. when she replied: ‘maybe you’re just a bad actor’ to one autistic individual who expressed their ability and willingness to act in her movie.”
      “Furthermore, Sia claims to have researched autism for years, but the fact that she collaborated with Autism Speaks, easily identified as a eugenics-promoting hate group, is a testament to the severity of her lies. She refused to apologize and only did so after receiving the nominations out of fear of a boycott, which is exactly what we urge all of you to do.”
      Sia has apologized following criticism of one scene, in which an autistic character is restrained, promising to attach a warning to the movie stating the film “in no way condones or recommends the use of restraint on autistic people.”
      “Music” was released earlier this month (February) and was met with mostly negative reviews. Rotten Tomatoes editors noted the film has received worse reviews than movie flop “Cats”.

      Chris Cornell's Widow Deems Soundgarden Self-Serving and Heartless in Clash Over Stake Buyout

      by

      WENN/Nicky Nelson

      Having been at war with Kim Thayil, Matt Cameron and Ben Shepherd since her husband’s 2017 suicide, Vicky Cornell is asking a judge to intervene in their legal battle over buyout price.

      Feb 18, 2021
      AceShowbiz – Chris Cornell’s widow is asking a judge to intervene in her legal battle with his Soundgarden bandmates after she was allegedly offered just $300,000 (£216,000) to buy out her stake in the brand.
      Vicky Cornell has been at war with remaining members Kim Thayil, Matt Cameron and Ben Shepherd ever since her husband’s suicide in 2017, previously suing over the ownership of unfinished songs and allegations of missing royalties.
      Now she is taking them to court again after failing to strike a deal over a buyout price, claiming she was offended by the “ludicrously low” offer of $300,000 for Chris’ share in the group partnership.
      According to court papers obtained by Variety, Vicky initially attempted to buy the trio out of the brand by offering them $4 million (£2.9 million) each, before upping the deal to $7 million (£5 million) apiece – but the rockers refused, and then came back with their counteroffer, based on an independent valuation, the details of which they have declined to provide to her.
      Vicky is refusing to believe the group’s assets are worth so little, and she is now demanding a court-ordered valuation to help settle the financial battle once and for all.

      “This action has been necessitated by the self-serving and heartless actions of the remaining members of the band Soundgarden, who are seeking to rob from their former bandmate, Chris Cornell, his wife, and their minor children, Chris’ legacy and life’s worth, which has made them millions of dollars,” the complaint reads.
      “The band members have knowingly offered only an infinitesimal fraction of the true worth of Chris’ interest in Soundgarden and certain related entities by making a ludicrously low offer. And, they know it… This case relates to, and seeks a judicial valuation of, Chris’ interest in Soundgarden (the band owned by the partnership of the same name) and certain related entities, including SG Recordings, SMF, SG Productions, and LLM (collectively, the Soundgarden Related Entities’).”
      However, it appears she will be in for a fight.
      In response, a representative for Soundgarden tells TMZ, “As requested by the Estate of Chris Cornell and as required by the laws of the State of Washington, the surviving members of Soundgarden submitted to the Cornell Estate four months ago a buy-out offer of the Estate’s interests in Soundgarden calculated by respected music industry valuation expert Gary Cohen.”
      “Since then, the band members have continued to try to settle all disputes with the Cornell Estate and in their several attempts to settle, the band members have elected to offer multiple times more than the amount calculated by Cohen.”

      Demi Lovato and Sam Fischer Ponder on a Subway in 'What Other People Say' Music Video

      by

      [embedded content]

      The ‘Commander in Chief’ songstress and her Australian singer collaborator get reflective on their struggles to triumph over societal pressures while taking a train ride in the visuals.

      Feb 17, 2021
      AceShowbiz – Demi Lovato and Sam Fischer’s collaborative song “What Other People Say” has received a visual treatment. Premiered over a week after the song’s release, the music video sees the two singers taking an emotional train ride.
      The clip begins with the “Camp Rock” star pondering on her past and where life has brought her to now as she sits by herself on a moving subway. “I used to not take chances with God’s name/ But it’s been so long since I last prayed/ And now I’m all f**ked up and my heart’s changed/ ‘Cause I care more about what other people say,” she sings in the chorus, while having left her seat and walking through the subway.
      Sam joins in to deliver the second verse, also getting reflective on their struggles to triumph over societal pressures. “I wish I could shelter the boy I knew/ From the constant hell I’d put him through,” he sings as if talking to his younger self. ” ‘Cause I’m all grown up and I’m black and blue/ I could use some tape, I could use some glue.”

        See also…

      The two then harmonize in the second chorus, as they are briefly seen singing their hearts out on top of the train. The scene intersperses with footage of other passengers sharing an embrace and kissing, before their train ride comes to an end and both Demi and Sam leave at the same time.
      Co-written by Sam, Rykeyz, Geoff Warburton and Demi, “What Other People Say” which was released on February 4 is a pop-beat power ballad that Sam has described as a “confession,” the anxieties of losing one’s individuality for the sake of being well-liked.
      The Australian singer/songwriter said he always knew it would be a duet as a statement released of the song described it, “Written about a feeling of being alone and not wanting to let people down, the pairing takes two different lives and perspectives and unites them in one message of human experience, emotion and togetherness, so they are alone with one another in the song.”
      “this song is so special to both me and Demi and i’m so SO happy it’s all yours now,” Sam gushed when debuting the song earlier this month. The former Disney Channel darling also felt the same attachment to the song, writing on Instagram prior to the song’s release, “These lyrics are so special to my heart. I can’t wait to share this one with you.”

      FINNEAS Spills Story Behind Tribute Song to Nick Cordero's Widow During 'The Talk' Performance

      by

      Instagram

      During their chat about ‘Can’t Wait to Be Dead’ on the talk show, Amanda Kloots admits Billie Eilish’s songwriter brother impressed her for being able to make the song without ever meeting her.

      Feb 17, 2021
      AceShowbiz – Singer/songwriter FINNEAS performed his tribute to Nick Cordero on the widow of the Broadway star’s show “The Talk” on Tuesday, February 16.
      Billie Eilish’s brother released “Can’t Wait to Be Dead” in October 2020 and explained the track was partly inspired by Amanda Kloots’ updates about her actor husband’s COVID-19 battle, before he died in July.
      “I’d been following Amanda Kloots as she documented her husband Nick Cordero’’s time in the ICU while in a coma after being admitted for COVID-19,” he told WENN. “Imagining her sitting by his side, waiting, hopeful for him to wake up, it got me thinking about all the millions of people, all over the world, who also have loved ones, parents, children and extended family members going through the same thing.”
      And on Tuesday, he performed the track on Kloots’ daytime show, explaining he wrote the tune last summer after spending the day protesting in Los Angeles with his girlfriend and sister Billie.

      “I’d come home from these protests every day and immediately check my phone to look at Amanda’s Instagram to see how her husband, Nick, was doing,” FINNEAS said. “Pretty much anything I feel overwhelmed by, I end up writing about… to document how I’m feeling.”

        See also…

      Kloots said, “When you listen to this song as much as I have, you hear this incredible heartbeat kick in in the song and then there’s this part where it really kinda feels you are mimicking the sirens of the protests that you were at and it literally takes me back to that moment of being in the hospital and holding Nick’s hand and looking out the window and seeing army tanks drive by…”
      “What’s crazy to me is you were somehow able to capture that journey that I went on without ever meeting me.”

      FINNEAS went on to call Amanda “brave,” admitting her openness made him feel like he knew her and Cordero.
      “I can’t thank you enough for allowing me and people like me to get to know you and your family through all of this,” he shared.
      The pair finally met at a celebration of Cordero’s birthday last year (2020), when FINNEAS fell in love with the late singer’s baby son, Elvis.
      “As soon as I’m vaccined I can’t wait to babysit Elvis (sic),” he added.
