      Westlife Leaves Record Label as They Announce New Album

      by

      Instagram

      Shane Filan, Markus Feehily, Kian Egan, and Nicky Byrne announce departure from their record label EMI as they are working on a new studio album and plotting a world tour.

      Feb 10, 2021
      AceShowbiz – Westlife has split from their record label.
      The “What About Now” hitmakers – made up of Shane Filan, Markus Feehily, Kian Egan and Nicky Byrne – have parted ways with EMI over two years after the release of their 2019 album “Spectrum”, which topped the charts in the U.K. and featured five songs written by Ed Sheeran.
      A spokesman for the band told Britain’s The Sun newspaper, “They’ve agreed a mutual parting of ways with EMI and details of a new and groundbreaking partnership are imminent.”
      “The next 18 months are shaping up to be the band’s busiest, including a new album, sold-out stadium shows – featuring a first show at Wembley Stadium – plus their biggest-ever global tour, which will include their first-ever American shows. The band are also considering opportunities for a spectacular end-of-year TV show and a documentary special.”

      The news comes almost a year after the Irish band had to cancel their planned U.K. stadium shows – which were due in June and July 2020 – due to the coronavirus pandemic.
      Westlife reunited in 2018, more than six years after splitting following the release of their “Greatest Hits” album and farewell tour in 2012.
      Brian McFadden, who quit the band in 2004, was not a part of the reunion. “There’s no reason for me and the boys to stay buddies,” he said in 2018. “For me, it was just a job. I only met the guys when I joined the band and have no regrets about leaving.

      Following their departure from EMI, the group announced on Instagram that a new album and world tour are imminent.

      Katy Perry Bedridden When New Album Came Out Last Year

      by

      Instagram

      The ‘American Idol’ judge jokes she couldn’t even ‘wipe’ her own butt as she’s in a hospital after giving birth when her new studio album ‘Smile’ was released in 2020.

      Feb 10, 2021
      AceShowbiz – Katy Perry couldn’t wipe (her) own butt” on the day her album came out.
      The “American Idol” judge dropped her latest record “Smile” in August (20) the day after giving birth to daughter Daisy – her first child with fiance Orlando Bloom. And reflecting on the experience during an interview on “Jimmy Kimmel Live!” on Monday night (08Feb21), Katy reflected on the “rollercoaster” of that time of her life.
      “I was giving birth to the greatest gift of all,” she said. “And then my album came out the next day, and I was in the hospital and I could not wipe my own butt…”
      “I was like, this is the most unusual album release day for me. And I love it.”

      Elsewhere in the interview, Katy – who sported a long brunette wig for the occasion – called baby Daisy “the best decision I’ve ever made in my life.”
      She also credited her other half Orlando – who shares son Flynn with ex-wife Miranda Kerr – for helping support her in terms of balancing a busy work life and her newborn daughter.
      “I have an incredible fiance who has done this before. He has a 10-year-old son,” she smiled. “So he’s been amazing, and we’re so in love and we’re so grateful.”
      In a previous interview, she also explained how motherhood changed her life, “I think that you realise that when you become a mother… you just have to focus on being a mom. And it’s not because you don’t love other people, it’s not because of anything besides you just want to be a great mom.”
      “I see my daughter change so much in the past five months and looking back at photos it’s like, ‘Whoa,’ ” she continued. “In a way, it’s really encouraged me to be even more present and to value every day. And all we have is this moment. That’s what’s promised is this moment and nothing else.”

      “What the f**k does vamp mean?” she scolded as a voice off camera said, “Stall”.
      “Now they asked me to vamp. I don’t know what vamp means. To me, vamp means be a vampire and/or vampirate like slowly disappear and/or elaborate. Maybe that’s the word they should’ve used? Elaborate. But let’s continue on guys.”
      Later in the broadcast, Haddish added, “This has not been the smoothest running situation. Every time an act leaves the stage, they have to clean the whole stage, get all-new microphones, all new everything you have to keep in mind that some of these acts haven’t performed for nobody…”.

      Artist of the Week: DJ Tiesto

      by

      The Dutch DJ and producer dances his way to the top of the charts with his infectious party anthem ‘The Business’ which has spawned a collaboration with Ty Dolla $ign.

      Feb 8, 2021
      AceShowbiz – DJ Tiesto is back atop the charts with his new brilliant single “The Business”. With over 2.9 million U.S. streams in the tracking week and 204 million streams since its September release, the dance banger has propelled him to the summit on Billboard’s Dance/Electronic Digital Song Sales.
      The party anthem was accompanied by an equally arresting music video. It featured viral comedian Casey Frey as he busted a move as a zombie while strolling through an empty hospital hall and a crowded diner before hopping on a bus and infecting the people to bob along to the catchy music.
      Ty Dolla $ign was among those captivated by the infectious track. The “Free TC” rapper jumped on the “Part II” of the song and added his own flair to the revamp. “Ty’s smooth R&B vocals really takes this track to the next level,” so the Dutch DJ and producer gushed after the upgraded version came out.

        See also…

      The hip-hop star also raved about their collaboration. “We got one! Thankful for being a part of this legendary moment,” he exclaimed. “Always been a fan of Tiesto.”
      In an interview with GQ magazine, Tiesto explained why he continued to make upbeat songs amid the doom and gloom of pandemic, “I think everybody wants to get down to business in the current times, not just with COVID, but in general. I think everybody always wants to go back to work or get ready for their event or for something special to happen that day.”
      The dancey track has since topped music charts in various countries including Tiesto’s native country of Netherlands. In the Billboard mainstream chart of Hot 100, it’s climbing up to top 20. If the last few weeks are any indication, it is expected to continue to ascend the chart.
