      The ‘Suckers’ hitmakers announce on their Instagram Story handle that while they are ‘excited’ to perform their April run of gigs at Park MGM, ‘nothing is more important than everyone’s health and safety.’
      Mar 14, 2020
      AceShowbiz – The Jonas Brothers, Lionel Richie, and Diana Ross have pulled out of concert residencies in Las Vegas as coronavirus concerns continue to cripple the entertainment industry.
      While various authorities across the U.S. have implemented restrictions on mass gatherings to combat the spread of COVID-19, prompting tour cancellations from a spate of stars, no such measure has been introduced for Sin City just yet, leaving resort officials to tackle the issue themselves.
      On Friday, March 13, Joe Jonas, Nick Jonas, and Kevin Jonas announced they were scrapping their April run of gigs at Park MGM as a result of the global pandemic.
      “We did not make this decision lightly,” they explained in a statement. “We were SO excited for the opportunity to share an amazing show with you guys, but nothing is more important than everyone’s health and safety.”
      “We are so sad to disappoint you guys, but it’s important for everyone to do what we can to keep everyone healthy.”
      The “Sucker” hitmakers captioned the social media post, “We love you guys and we are praying for everyone’s safety and wellness. We’ll see you soon.”

      Meanwhile, bosses at the Wynn Las Vegas have postponed dates for their residency stars, including Lionel’s Friday and Saturday night gigs, and Diana’s shows, which were due to launch at the Encore Theater on April 8.
      A similar decision is expected to be made about British pop star Robbie Williams’ Live in Las Vegas residency, also housed at the Encore Theater, which is currently billed to resume on March 24.

      Machine Gun Kelly Takes Another Shot at Eminem in New Single 'Bullets with Names'

      After the ‘Godzilla’ rapper addressed their beef in his latest album ‘Music to Be Murdered By’, MGK hints that the bad blood isn’t over as he brags about killing Em in his new diss song.
      Mar 14, 2020
      AceShowbiz – Machine Gun Kelly continues to take shot at Eminem. While the “Godzilla” hitmaker claimed an end to their beef in a track off his “Music to Be Murdered By” album, the “Rap Devil” rapper released on Friday, March 13 a brand new single, “Bullets with Names”, that has him bragging about killing the former.
      Produced by Wonda and Ronny J, “Bullets with Names” hears MGK spitting, “Killed me a goat so my jacket got stains on it/ Wipin’ my nose like I got some cocaine on it/ Pulled out his coffin and ate me a plate on it/ Called up his bitch, showed my dick, let ’em lay on it.” It features Young Thug, Lil Duke and RJMRLA.
      This fresh track will be included in the “Bad Things” hitmaker’s upcoming fifth studio album, “Tickets to My Downfall”, that is set to be released later this year via Interscope and Bad Boy Records. The LP, which is a collaborative project with Blink-182’s Travis Barker, itself is a follow-up to his 2019 album “Hotel Diablo”.

      As for MGK’s feud with Em, “Bullets with Names” was not the first shade he threw at the “Lose Yourself” hitmaker following the release of “Music to Be Murdered By”. In late January, he took to Twitter to seemingly comment on Em’s take on viral Dolly Parton challenge, “50 year old artists tryna be relevant to the youth by posting trending meme’s is something i never thought i’d see #2020,” his later-deleted tweet read.
      Em and MGK started their feud back in 2018 after the “Bird Box” actor thirsting over his daughter Hailie. Hitting back, MGK came out with a diss track called “Rap Devil”. In response, Em let out “Killshot”. In mid-January 2020, however, Em appeared to call for a truce through new track titled “Unaccommodating”.
      Despite Em’s claim that their war is finished, MGK appeared reluctance in squashing their beef. “mad af I just stepped out a loud room to hear this bulls**t,” he wrote on Twitter. “he’s been rich and mad for 20 years straight.”

      Post Malone Enrages People With Denver Concert Despite Coronavirus Concerns

      by

      WENN/Adriana M. Barraza

      The ‘Psycho’ hitmaker performed for the sold-out crowd at the Pepsi Center on Thursday night, before Governor of Colorado Jarad Polis declares a local state of emergency and the rapper cancels the rest of his tour.
      Mar 14, 2020
      AceShowbiz – Post Malone has gotten on the wrong side of the public. Many musical acts have taken the drastic measure of postponing performances since coronavirus continues to spread worldwide, but the “Better Now” rapper’s decision to push forward with his sold-out concert in Denver, Colorado has left many fuming.
      On Thursday, March 12, the Pepsi Center announced on Twitter, “Tonight’s Post Malone concert at Pepsi Center is proceeding as scheduled.” It continued, “We continue to monitor the current COVID-19 situation with local, state and federal authorities. Please continue to monitor venue websites & social media channels regarding any updates to upcoming events.”
      Since many have urged Malone to cancel his show, the announcement came as an invitation to criticisms. “Wow. Wildly irresponsible and greedy. Thanks for the $300 loss. Won’t be going, those will be empty seats. Definitely will not spend with Pepsi Center in the future either,” one said. Another stated, “this is a terrible decision,” before adding in the same post, “I dont know how to explain to you that you should care about other people.”

      One person criticized the continuation of Malone’s concert amid coronavirus outbreak.
      On that same night, Denver’s 9News reporter Ryan Haarer shared a video from inside Malone’s concert venue. “Getting more video from inside @pepsicenter,” he wrote along with the clip. “Thought I was seeing empty seats for @PostMalone in the middle of COVID-19 outbreak. Turns out… it’s packed. So much for social distancing.”
      The footage was quickly picked up by many. Tommy Vietor, a former spokesperson for President Barack Obama, tweeted angrily, “We didn’t suspend every major sport to have Post Malone screw this up for us. Get your s**t together, Colorado.” Fellow 9News journalist Marc Sallinger sarcastically wrote, “NBA season suspended. NCAA tournament cancelled. NHL Season suspended. MLB Season postponed. Denver schools shut down. CO in state of emergency. Post Malone concert? Packed.”

      Tommy Vietor responded to the packed show.

      Marc Sallinger weighed in.
      Malone’s Thursday concert came after concert promoters, Live Nation and AEG, announced that they are postponing all major events as preventive measure to the spread of COVID-19. National Basketball Association (NBA) and Major League Baseball (MLB) have also put a pause on their seasons, while Broadway has closed its doors for a month.
      On Friday, March 13, Colorado Governor Jared Polis called for cancellation of public gatherings of more than 250 people.

      Yungblud to Live-Stream Special Show Amid Concert Cancellations Due to Coronavirus

      by

      Instagram

      Code Orange has also decided to go ahead with their March 14 concert in their hometown of Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, through the show will be done behind closed doors without audience.
      Mar 14, 2020
      AceShowbiz – British rapper YUNGBLUD is planning to combat the spate of coronavirus concert cancellations by live-streaming a special show for fans via YouTube.
      The “11 Minutes” star, real name Dominic Harrison, recently had to scrap his tour of Asia, which had been due to kick off in South Korea this week (begins March 09), so now he’s decided to perform a gig for an online-only audience.
      “S**T’S WEIRD BUT WE’LL KEEP CALM AND CARRY ON,” he posted on Instagram as he announced the Monday night event.
      “i hate that shows are gettin cancelled so im gonna bring one to you. ill be live on my youtube 7am (PST) playin songs, talking s**t, makin breakfast and answering questions (sic).”
      He went on to insist, “we are gonna beat this s**t TOGETHER. having the ability to connect with you ain’t gonna get taken away. f**k that. i can’t wait to see you. tell ya f**kin mates (sic).”

      YUNGBLUD isn’t the only artist to turn to live-streaming to play for fans. Heavy rockers Code Orange have decided to go ahead with their Saturday night (March 14) show in their hometown of Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania – although they will be playing in an empty venue after The Roxian officials chose to postpone all scheduled shows due to health concerns.
      The concert will take place behind closed doors and be live-streamed on Twitch.
      Musicians including Cher, Blake Shelton, Pearl Jam, Kiss, BTS (Bangtan Boys), Louis Tomlinson, Avril Lavigne and Kenny Chesney have been forced to halt touring plans in the wake of the global COVID-19 outbreak, with authorities worldwide issuing bans on mass gatherings to prevent the continued spread of the disease.
      Among the latest events to be affected is BBC Radio 1’s Big Weekend bash in Scotland, which had been set to take over Dundee’s Camperdown Park in late May. Performers due to appear included Harry Styles, Dua Lipa and Biffy Clyro.

      Jay-Z Fires Back at His NFL Controversy Through Jay Electronica's 'Flux Capacitor'

      by

      https://www.beyonce.com/

      Aside from questioning the logic behind the ‘sell-out’ accusations, the ‘Empire State of Mind’ hitmaker compares himself to Cleveland Browns star player Odell Beckham Jr. In the new song.
      Mar 14, 2020
      AceShowbiz – Jay-Z has mocked allegations suggesting he sold himself out to go into business with bosses at America’s National Football League (NFL), insisting he doesn’t need the money.
      The “Empire State of Mind” hitmaker shocked fans last summer (19) when he entered into a partnership with NFL officials via his Roc Nation firm, and was appointed the organisation’s live music entertainment strategist, overseeing big gigs including Jennifer Lopez and Shakira’s Super Bowl Halftime Show in early February.
      The hip-hop mogul faced a backlash over the move, having previously criticised NFL executives’ treatment of quarterback Colin Kaepernick, who has been out of a job since the end of the 2016/2017 season after kneeling during each game’s U.S. National Anthem to protest police brutality and racial inequality.
      Jay-Z previously defended the business deal, insisting his ultimate goal is to use his new position inside the organisation to further various social justice initiatives, bolstering efforts with the $100 million (£80 million) pledged by NFL commissioner Roger Goodell over the next decade.
      Now the rapper is responding to critics once more in song, as a featured artist on Jay Electronica’s long-awaited debut album, “A Written Testimony”.
      On the track “Flux Capacitor”, Jay-Z questions the logic behind the “sell-out” accusations, and compares himself to Cleveland Browns star player Odell Beckham Jr., who is known for his one-handed catches.
      [embedded content]
      “Why would I sell out? I’m already rich, don’t make no sense/Got more money than Goodell, a whole NFL bench,” he raps. “Did it one-handed like Odell, handcuffed to a jail/I would’ve stayed on the sideline if they could’ve tackled that s**t themselves.”

      “A Written Testimony” dropped on Friday, March 13.

      ‘The Bones’ has helped the ‘I Could Use a Love Song’ singer, who is pregnant with her first child, to become the first solo female to top the Billboard countdown since 2016.
      Mar 13, 2020
      AceShowbiz – Pregnant Maren Morris has scored a big hit for country music’s women by hitting the top of Billboard’s Hot Country Songs chart.
      The success of her song “The Bones” makes Maren the first solo female to top the countdown since 2016.
      “The Bones” ends the long run of Dan + Shay and Justin Bieber’s “10,000 Hours”, which held the number one spot for 21 weeks.
      Maren is now officially on her countdown to motherhood – her first child is due in weeks.

      Morris also recently performed one of the final shows at this year’s Houston Rodeo in Texas, before the schedule was scrapped by city officials trying to contain the spread of coronavirus.

      Taylor Swift and Robbie Williams Have Their Gigs Canceled, Celine Dion Reschedules Tour

      by

      WENN/Instar/Graham Finney

      Capital One’s JamFest and World Tour Melbourne have been called off due to the coronavirus pandemic, while the ‘Taking Chances’ hitmaker is postponing the remaining 17 dates of her tour.
      Mar 13, 2020
      AceShowbiz – Taylor Swift, Celine Dion and Robbie Williams are among the latest in a spate of celebrities who have cancelled gigs due to the coronavirus pandemic.
      The “ME!” singer had been due to headline Capital One’s JamFest on 5 April in Atlanta, Georgia, which fell during the 2020 NCAA March Madness Music Festival. However, it was announced on Thursday (March 12) that the gig had been axed, after the NCAA basketball division made the decision to cancel the remainder of their men’s and women’s championships this year.
      Capital One added in a statement of their own: “We are united with the NCAA’s decision to cancel the Final Four and all related events including the March Madness Music Festival. In the interest of our cardholders, artists, staff and fans, the Capital One #JamFest2020 will not take place.”

      Capital One announced the gig cancellation.
      The concert was to be Taylor’s only scheduled U.S. concert aside from her “Lover Fest” tour dates. She is still set to perform at Britain’s Glastonbury music festival in June.
      Meanwhile, Celine has announced that the remaining 17 dates on the North American leg of her tour will be rescheduled, with her team announcing in a statement: “Ticket holders of the postponed performances will receive more information shortly and should keep their original tickets to use at the rescheduled dates later this year.”

      It comes after the 51-year-old singer postponed two shows this week when she came down with a cold, although she reassured fans that she’d tested negative for Covid-19.
      And British singer Robbie has been left disappointed after flying out to Australia, only to learn that his performance at the inaugural World Tour Melbourne on Saturday has been called off. The one-off concert was set to take place at Albert Park’s Lakeside Stadium to coincide with the Australian Grand Prix, which was also axed on Friday in line with the Australian government’s advice that all large gatherings with more than 500 people in attendance should be cancelled.

      Diplo Faults Established EDM Artists for Not Letting Younger Acts Shine

      by

      Billboard

      Discussing the difficulties of bringing the ‘underground’ dance scene to mainstream, the ‘Close to Me’ DJ notes that ‘it’s really easy to copy someone’s sound’ in EDM world.
      Mar 13, 2020
      AceShowbiz – Diplo is hoping to give up-and-coming electronic dance music (EDM) artists a commercial platform with his Higher Ground record label.
      The producer started the project two years ago and is hoping to elevate the “underground” dance scene in the U.S. to new levels of mainstream popularity.
      “I’m always looking for a way to make that (underground) sound commercial,” he told Billboard. “For that to make sense in America is kind of a riddle.”
      Having worked with EDM acts including Born Dirty, Andhim and Sidepiece, the star understands the difficulties musicians face, as he reflected, “The doors kind of got closed behind Martin Garrix or Marshmello”.
      “The old guys aren’t going away. I’m not going away. And it’s really easy to copy someone’s sound,” Diplo, real name Thomas Wesley Pentz, explained. “If I’m producer A, and I hear an underground producer doing something that’s coming up, I’ll just do what he does. EDM doesn’t have rules that you can’t copy people’s sounds because EDM fans don’t care. They’re not there for the prestige of it.”

      “So with all these EDM guys, they don’t let the young person that’s doing the cool thing up,” he added.
