    Jennifer Lopez's Planned U.K. Tour Thrown Up in the Air Due to Coronavirus Crisis

    WENN/Instar

    Aside from the ‘Love Don’t Cost a Thing’ hitmaker, other stars like Cher, Madonna, Mariah Carey and Billie Eilish have also been affected by the ongoing pandemic following WHO’s social distancing advice.
    Mar 23, 2020
    AceShowbiz – Jennifer Lopez’s plans to hit the road this year with a new world tour have reportedly been axed due to the ongoing coronavirus pandemic.
    According to Britain’s The Sun newspaper, the 50-year-old hitmaker was set to hit the road with a new world tour, but the “Love Don’t Cost a Thing” hitmaker’s plans have dashed due to the global health crisis.
    “Jennifer was involved in talks about a series of headline UK shows which promoters believed would sell out in an instant,” a source said. “Unfortunately, the current situation has thrown a spanner in the works and those talks are no longer happening at the moment. With artists being forced to cancel tours left, right and centre, it just doesn’t make sense to push forward with her plans now.”
    Numerous stars have been affected by the pandemic, with Cher, Madonna, Mariah Carey and Billie Eilish among the acts cancelling shows, as the World Health Organisation (WHO) advises people to practice social distancing and stay home in a bid to prevent the spread of Covid-19, which has seen more than 315,000 cases registered, resulting in a death toll of over 13,500.
    Earlier this week (begins March 16), Jennifer told fans on social media she was at home with 12-year-old twins Max and Emme, where she was “reading scripts, developing new projects, even working out and learning new dance routines,” as she hopes to “bounce back” once the virus is eliminated.

    Noah Cyrus Gives Herself River Baptism in 'I Got So High That I Saw Jesus' Music Video

    [embedded content]

    Talking about the song in an interview, the sister of Miley Cyrus says that she hopes her new song ‘resonates with people, especially with all that is going on in the world right now.’
    Mar 23, 2020
    AceShowbiz – Noah Cyrus has released a new single inspired by a spiritual awakening she had while high.
    Miley Cyrus’ little sister dropped “I Got So High That I Saw Jesus” on Friday (20Mar20), and an accompanying video, in which she baptises herself in a lake.
    And she explains the track is based on a real moment she had, when Jesus Christ told her that everything will be OK.
    “This song is not about or for one religion or belief system,” she tells WENN in a statement. “Jesus basically represents a greater understanding and knowledge that everything has its purpose and everything will work itself out the way it’s supposed to… I was born and raised Christian with strong beliefs and still hold those values.”
    “I was smoking weed one night, and had this epiphany, then wrote the song, hence the title. I hope this song resonates with people, especially with all that is going on in the world right now. Humans have evolved in so many beautiful ways, but we’ve also gotten so out of touch with the world, and each other.”

    After sharing his creative process, he offered to text an MP3 file of the demo to anyone interested in hearing the work-in-progress, and shared the lyrics to the song’s chorus online.
    Shinoda then went one step further, by offering one lucky fan the chance to feature on the tune itself.
    “I have an idea,” he posted. “I want another voice on the chorus of ‘Open Door.’ Maybe it can be one of yours? Get the song, sing it, post a link on Twitter with the hashtag #SingOpenDoor and if I love something I’ll let you know.”

    He has since been inundated with verses from aspiring musicians, and has reposted a number of video clips online, while also encouraging others to get involved.

    Mike Shinoda encouraged fans to keep posting #SingOpenDoor clips.
    “Keep posting your #SingOpenDoor clips,” he tweeted on Wednesday. “There are so many good ones already!”

    Niall Horan Gets First U.K. No.1 Solo Album With 'Heartbreak Weather'

    Days after fearing that coronavirus would nix his chances of having his sophomore effort to debut on top, the One Direction member calls the accomplishment ‘incredible.’
    Mar 21, 2020
    AceShowbiz – Niall Horan’s second release, “Heartbreak Weather”, has topped the U.K. albums chart, landing him his first British number one as a solo artist.
    The Irish singer was forced to celebrate his success at home as Brits self-isolate due to the coronavirus pandemic.
    “It’s huge for me,” he said. “I spent 14 months on this album and to have it received like this is just incredible for me.”

    Niall, who failed to reach the top of the U.K. charts with his 2017 debut “Flicker”, feared the COVID-19 lockdown would nix his chances of debuting at number one, telling fans on Instagram Live earlier this week: “I have really enjoyed doing the Instagram lives this week. I would obviously have preferred to have been on the relevant tv shows, in the radio stations etc, but being live from the comfort of my own living room has been really fun.”
    “It’s been a great way to chat with the fans in their 10s of thousands and see their reactions to the album.”

    The One Direction star’s tourmate, Lewis Capaldi, stays put at two with “Divinely Uninspired to a Hellish Extent”, and British country duo The Shires are at three with “Good Days”.

    British indie rockers Circa Waves enter the chart at four with “Sad Happy”, and Lil Uzi Vert’s album “Eternal Atake” completes the top five.
    There’s also a new number one on the singles chart, as Saint Jhn’s “Roses” climbs a place to the top, pushing The Weeknd’s “Blinding Lights” down to two.

    “(These are) the people that I travelled with and grew my business with, the people I high five on the way out to the stage, the people that have done their jobs and done them well,” an emotional Brown said in a video. “I hate having to make this call but I can’t generate out there and I can’t tour because of the coronavirus.”

    Meanwhile, Little Big Town have also joined the country acts scrapping shows on Friday, March 20 – they have rescheduled their remaining 2020 “Nightfall Tour” dates to later in the year, amid the spread of the coronavirus.
    The new dates begin in August and will run into 2021. The quartet’s tour began in January and was slated to run until the beginning of May.
    “This tour means everything to us, but amid the health concerns surrounding our country, we feel like the only thing to do to protect the health of our fans, band, crew, and families is to postpone the upcoming spring shows,” a band statement reads.

    “We are already counting down the weeks to be back out there with you all, celebrating life, love, music, and health with a new and different appreciation.”
