      The NSYNC star and Clemons have made their collaboration available for download after the duo performed the song at the TV special celebrating Joe Biden’s inauguration.

      Jan 22, 2021
      AceShowbiz – Justin Timberlake and Ant Clemons have released their powerful new version of “Better Days”, which they performed for the “Celebrating America” special on Wednesday night (20Jan21), as a new single.
      The track, featuring gospel great Kirk Franklin and students and alumni from the Stax Music Academy in Timberlake’s native Memphis, Tennessee, was made available as a download as soon as it aired on the TV event, hosted by Tom Hanks, which took place after Joe Biden and Kamala Harris were sworn in as America’s 46th President and the nation’s first female Vice-President in Washington, D.C.

      Timberlake and Clemons performed the track at the Stax Museum of American Soul Music, which is housed on the site of Stax Records, where soul legends like Otis Redding, Booker T & the MGS, Carla Thomas, Isaac Hayes, and William Bell recorded their hits.
      “The fact that the Stax Museum and Stax Music Academy were chosen by Justin Timberlake, Ant Clemons and the Presidential Inaugural Committee to represent Memphis, Tennessee in the 2021 presidential inauguration, speaks not only volumes about the power, magic, and timelessness of soul music, but also casts a bright light on the work we have been doing here at the Soulsville Foundation for more than 20 years now,” said Soulsville Foundation President and CEO Richard Greenwald.
      “We are grateful to our friend Justin Timberlake for embracing our mission and genuinely caring about the young people with whom we work every day.”
      Timberlake and Clemons premiered “Better Days” for Rock the Runoff, a virtual fundraiser for Stacy Abrams’ organisation, Fair Fight in December (20). Clemons first conceived the idea of the song months before the presidential election in November and invited Timberlake to feature on the track. Justin laid down his vocals on election night as he watched the returns.

      Lil Wayne Celebrates Presidential Pardon With New Song

      by

      Instagram

      The ‘Lollipop’ hitmaker has dropped a new song called ‘Ain’t Got Time’, only one day after he was granted clemency by Donald Trump in his last hours as president.

      Jan 22, 2021
      AceShowbiz – Lil Wayne has released his first new music since being pardoned by Donald Trump.
      The former U.S. President pardoned over 100 people during his last day in office on Tuesday (19Jan21), including the 38-year-old rap star, who had pleaded guilty to illegally possessing a loaded weapon on a private jet.
      Days later, the “Lollipop” hitmaker, real name Dwayne Michael Carter Jr., has shared his new track on Twitter, “Ain’t Got Time”, featuring Foushee, which appears to reference the incident in December 2019, when he was a passenger on a plane searched by federal agents in Miami.
      He raps, “The feds they hot on us … they raided my private plane.”

      As a convicted felon, following a gun charge in 2007, Wayne could have faced the possibility of a 10-year spell in prison.

      However, he received the pardon from the billionaire businessman, having previously endorsed Trump for reelection.
      Last year, he wrote on Twitter, “Just had a great meeting with @realdonaldtrump @potus besides what he’s done so far with criminal reform, the platinum plan is going to give the community real ownership. He listened to what we had to say today and assured he will and can get it done. (sic)”
      Wayne’s tweet included a picture of the two of them together and prompted a backlash from some of his followers.
      Prior to being pardoned, the “Sucker for Pain” star released his rendition of NFL anthem “Green and Yellow”.
      The lifelong Green Bay Packers supporter was asked by the American football team to put his own spin on the song.
      He said, “I did a song before and we had a good turnout. It was successful. We had good results, and we’re going to try to do it again this time … I put a lot of time into it. I worked on it for three days, too. I don’t do that.”

      Glastonbury Festival 2021 Called Off Due to Covid-19 Pandemic

      by

      Instagram

      The British music festival which takes place annually at Worthy Farm in Somerset, England has been cancelled by organizers amid the ongoing coronavirus crisis.

      Jan 22, 2021
      AceShowbiz – Organisers of the U.K.’s Glastonbury Festival has cancelled its 2021 edition due to the COVID-19 pandemic for the second year running.
      The iconic music event, held annually at Worthy Farm in Somerset, England, will not go ahead, organisers Michael and Emily Eavis announced on the festival’s Twitter account.
      “With great regret, we must announce that this year’s Glastonbury festival will not take place, and that this will be another enforced fallow year for us,” they said. “In spite of our efforts to move heaven and earth, it has become clear that we simply will not be able to make the festival happen this year. We are so sorry to let you all down.”
      They confirmed that as with last year, anyone with a ticket has now been offered the opportunity to roll their deposit over to next year, when the festival will hopefully resume.

      The Eavises added they were “very confident we can deliver something really special for us all in 2022.”
      Last year’s 50th-anniversary event was meant to be headlined by Sir Paul McCartney, Taylor Swift, and Kendrick Lamar, but it was cancelled during the initial U.K. lockdown in March 2020.
      In December 2020, the former member of The Beatles admitted he was reluctant to headline the music festival due to coronavirus concerns. The 78-year-old musician said, “Glastonbury, where you’ve got over 100,000 people packed into a field? That’s a super-spreader.”
      Despite the organizers’ confidence, the “Hey Jude” hitmaker didn’t expect next year’s festival to take place either.
