    John Stamos and Beach Boys Team Up for Charity Song

    Instagram

    The former ‘Full House’ actor is recruited by Mike Love to help The Beach Boys with their new song ‘This Shall Too Pass’ to raise money for the hungry amid the ongoing coronavirus crisis.
    May 3, 2020
    AceShowbiz – The Beach Boys star Mike Love has reteamed with actor pal John Stamos to offer fans an uplifting new song to raise their spirits amid the coronavirus doom and gloom.
    “Fuller House” star Stamos, who has often toured with Love’s Beach Boys, appears on “This Too Shall Pass”, which the Rock and Roll Hall of Famer wrote “as a fun way to encourage positivity during this unprecedented time.”
    Stamos also produced the song’s video which, like the track, dropped on Friday, May 1, 2020.

    Proceeds from download sales of “This Too Shall Pass” will benefit Feeding America’s COVID-19 Response Fund to help food banks across the country as they support communities impacted by the pandemic.
    “A lifetime of performing to millions of people all over the world and suddenly everything came to a halt,” said Love. “I’ve lived through enough good times and bad to know that eventually, this too shall pass, and better days are yet to come. With today being May Day, new beginnings are around (the) corner and as the lyrics of this song say, ‘We’ll get back to havin’ fun, fun, fun in the sun.’ ”
    Stamos, who drums on the track, tells WENN, “I’m really proud of Mike for writing this song. About three weeks into the pandemic, Mike, his wife Jacquelyne and I discussed out how to contribute to the crisis. I suggested he do a parody of one of his songs like Neil Diamond did with Sweet Caroline. He insisted on doing something original and then he started singing This Too Shall Pass. I thought it was really special.”
    “At 79 years old, he could be on a boat counting his royalty cheques on the way to Kokomo, but not Mike. He continues to challenge himself and care deeply about the world and the people in it. That’s why it was so important for him to do something new, and say something hopeful.”

    Here's Why Carrie Underwood Has to Decline Florida Georgia Line's Offer to Collaborate

    WENN

    During an appearance on the CMT Hot 20 Countdown chart show, Tyler Hubbard and Brian Kelley admit to have approached the ‘Cry Pretty’ hitmaker to do a song together.
    May 2, 2020
    AceShowbiz – Carrie Underwood had to pass on a collaboration with Florida Georgia Line because her schedule was already full when the duo first invited her into the recording studio.
    Bandmates Tyler Hubbard and Brian Kelley haven’t been shy about their desire to work with the country superstar, and even sent out a public appeal via social media in February.
    “Whether you know it or not, we are huge fans of you and we have always wanted to do a song with you,” they posted on Twitter.
    Referring to a track they had created with singer/songwriter Julia Michaels, the “Cruise” hitmakers continued, “We’d really love for Carrie Underwood to hear this song. We think it would be a massive collaboration. We’d love to send it to you.”
    The pair went on to preview the tune, in the hopes Carrie would be shown the Twitter plea, explaining, “We don’t have your email or your phone number, so we’re gonna just play a little.”
    Carrie didn’t publicly respond at the time, but Hubbard and Kelley have since revealed she did reach out about the track.
    “We got turned down on that one,” Hubbard explained during a recent appearance on the CMT Hot 20 Countdown chart show.
    “You don’t win ’em all. I guess she didn’t love it as much as we did, but that’s alright,” he joked.

    Hubbard then shared the real reason behind the failed collaboration request: “I think she said it was amazing and she’d love to, but it was right around her book tour release and so she was super busy and didn’t really have time,” he recalled. “But who knows, who knows where it will go. Now it’s just open game.”
    Carrie launched her self-help book, “Find Your Path: Honor Your Body, Fuel Your Soul, and Get Strong with the Fit52 Life”, in early March.

    One Direction Outshined by ABBA as Band Fans Most Want to See Reuniting

    WENN

    The boy group land third in the poll behind another British band Oasis, while the Swedish group top the list after collecting an impressive 40 per cent of the total votes.
    May 2, 2020
    AceShowbiz – ABBA fans are desperate for the group to reunite, according to a new poll from ticket resale site StubHub.
    The Swedish group topped the poll with an impressive 40 per cent, scoring well ahead of runners-up Oasis and One Direction, which landed 28 and 18 per cent of the vote, respectively.
    The Swedish pop group, comprising members Agnetha Faltskog, Bjorn Ulvaeus, Benny Andersson and Anni-Frid Lyngstad, last released new music in 1982, but have maintained their appeal due to the use of their music in movies including “Muriel’s Wedding” in 1995, and the recent “Mamma Mia!” franchise.
    Rockers The Verve, ’90s boyband Boyzone – who called it quits last year (19) – and ’80s indie band The Smiths, followed in the ranking, with 14, 13 and 12 per cent respectively.
    Destiny’s Child (12 per cent), Crowded House (12 per cent), Sugababes (11 per cent) and No Doubt (11 per cent) rounded out the top 10.
    Top 10 bands that fans most want to see reunited:
    ABBA (split 1982) 40%
    Oasis (2009) 28%
    One Direction (2016) 18%
    The Verve (2009) 14%
    Boyzone (2019) 13%
    The Smiths (1987) 12%
    Destiny’s Child (2006) 12%
    Crowded House (2011) 12%
    Sugababes (2011) 11%
    No Doubt (2015) 11%

    Eminem to Host 'Music to Be Quarantined By' Playlist on SiriusXM

    WENN

    Marshall Mathers has announced a three-hour special to air Saturday, May 2 on his Shade45 SiriusXM Channel, featuring songs by hip-hop legends such as Tupac Shakur, Beastie Boys and Wu-Tang Clan.
    May 2, 2020
    AceShowbiz – Eminem is keeping fans entertained during the coronavirus quarantine with some music of his choice. The Slim Shady has announced that he will be launching his “Music to Be Quarantined By” playlist on his Shade45 SiriusXM Channel on Saturday, May 2.
    The three-hour-long special, which is titled after his recent album “Music to Be Murdered By”, will first air at noon EST. Encores of the show will air all weekend as well as the following week. Announcing the special on his Instagram page, he wrote, “Join me on @shade45 & listen to what I’m listening to on this lockdown! Starts Sat. @ 12PM EST – listen for free.”
    According to reports, the playlist will include songs that Em has been listening to while quarantined in his home. It will feature a bunch of classic hip-hop songs from such legendary artists as Tupac Shakur, The Notorious B.I.G., Beastie Boys, MC Lyte, Mobb Deep, Nas, Wu-Tang Clan, Run DMC and many others.
    Eminem previously teased the playlist earlier this week on “Sway in the Morning”. “It’s what I wanna hear, basically,” he told Sway Calloway on Thursday, April 29. His longtime manager Paul Rosenberg chimed in, “And recommend people to listen to as well.”
    During the coronavirus crisis, Eminem has been giving back to the community. He has donated loads of his Mom’s Spaghetti brand to Detroit healthcare workers and his Marshall Mathers Foundation launched the Love Your DJ campaign to help DJs who saw their income suddenly curtailed by the closure of venues and social gatherings across the globe. The challenge offered Michigan DJs a chance to win $313 cash payments by submitting their own mixes inclusion in the weekend takeover.
    The 47-year-old emcee is also teaming up with StockX to give away a rare pair of his Air Jordan 4 x Carhartt collaboration to be auctioned off for COVID-19 relief benefits. Proceeds will go to the COVID-19 Solidarity Response Fund.

    Eminem’s “Music to Be Quarantined By” Rebroadcast Schedule:
    May 2 at 5 P.M. ET
