      The One Direction member and the ‘Come Close’ rapper are the latest artists who entertain their fans online by putting shows from the comfort of their home.
      Mar 20, 2020
      AceShowbiz – Pop star Niall Horan and rapper Common joined in the “Together, At Home” concert series on Thursday, March 19 by performing acoustic shows for fans online during the coronavirus lockdown.
      Coldplay’s Chris Martin kickstarted the World Health Organization (WHO) and Global Citizen event on Monday, beaming his 30-minute set into viewers’ homes via Instagram Live, and John Legend kept the entertainment going on Tuesday, with his model and TV personality wife, Chrissy Teigen, and their two kids making appearances onscreen.
      Singer Charlie Puth picked up the virtual baton on Wednesday, and on Thursday, fans were treated to a double set by Niall and Common.
      The One Direction star was first up on Instagram Live for the “Together, At Home: WHO-Global Citizen Solidarity Sessions”, belting out tracks from his new album, “Heartbreak Weather”, as he sat by his piano with a guitar.
      As he wrapped up the intimate show, Horan apologised for any imperfect vocals, admitting his isolation routine had not included regular vocal exercises – as he was spending much of his down time “watching a lot of Netflix.”

      “Apologies for my voice, I haven’t been doing too much singing recently,” he shared, before adding a stern warning to viewers about personal hygiene during the COVID-19 crisis: “Stay safe, wash your hands! Don’t be foolish about this!”

      Lil Uzi Vert Urges Fans to Stop Being Petty With Ebro Darden Over 2016 Diss

      by

      The media executive and radio personality himself acknowledges Uzi’s success on his Twitter post, though he appears to credit himself for the excellent outcome.
      Mar 20, 2020
      AceShowbiz – Lil Uzi Vert is no longer holding grudge against media executive and radio personality Ebro Darden, who used to doubt his career longevity. Following his huge success with “Eternal Atake”, many of his fans were slamming Ebro for his incorrect prediction.
      This all started after Ebro made a comment on the then-25-year-old rapper during his interview with HOT 97 back in 2016. At the time, he told Uzi that the rising rap artists such as the latter might find success. However, he would struggle by the age of 27 or 28. Uzi victoriously proved that wrong by celebrating the success of his new album that dominates the Billboard 200 chart for a second straight week.
      Ebro himself acknowledged Uzi’s success on his Twitter post on March 16. Seemingly crediting himself for the excellent outcome, he wrote, “So glad I pressed Uzi Vert 4yrs ago… He proved me wrong! Exactly what I love… Hope more artists do the same when I question your talent or skills.”
      The post didn’t stop Uzi’s fans from trolling Ebro as they weren’t ready to let his comment slide. “Never forget when Ebro told Uzi he’d be struggling, fast forward 3 years. He’s selling 300k & has the game at his fingertips, life comes at you fast,” a fan bragged on Twitter. “ebro was being such a b***h that whole interview.”
      Uzi apparently caught wind of the hate comments and wanted them to stop. “Stop saying f**k Ebro!” he said during Instagram Live broadcast. The rapper went on adding with an apparent backhanded compliment, “Stop saying that! He just old! He ain’t know no better. He old! He ain’t know no better… I ain’t know no better back then. Only thing I knew was they was old!”
      During the broadcast, he responded to people saying his recent success was luck and calling his music “wack.” He clapped back, “I dropped my album during the Coronavirus and my s**t still poppin’.” Agreeing with him, a fan commented, “Lyck???? Lol this ain’t sports.”

      The Weeknd's Fans Thank Bella Hadid for Being Muse of His New Album

      by

      Instagram

      The Weeknd himself has confirmed that ‘After Hours’ is about the pain of a heartbreak as he hints in a new interview that he copes with his pain by staying in home and making music.
      Mar 20, 2020
      AceShowbiz – The Weeknd excites fans with his new album, “After Hours”, which was released on Friday, March 20. The new set saw Abel Tesfaye, the singer’s real name, singing his hearts out about post-relationship in several songs, prompting fans to think that he was referring to his ex Bella Hadid.
      In a song titled “Escape From L.A.”, Abel sings, “She got Chrome Hearts hanging from her neck.” Many believed that it was about Bella and the same streetwear brands that the model has done multiple collaborations with.
      Additionally, Abel appeared to hint at their heated moment when they were having sex in a studio. “She closed the door and then she locked it/ For me, for me/ We had sex in the studio/ Nobody walked in,” the lyrics read.
      After listening to the new album, a fan tweeted, “Damn I can feel Abel’s pain. this is 100% an album for Bella hadid.” Echoing the theory, another fan said, “Escape from LA is inspired by bella hadid.. chrome hearts????? oh yes abel we know you love her.”
      Some others believed that the Canadian star put a sound of Bella’s laugh in a song titled “Snowchild”. “Is that Bella’s laugh in Snowchild? Lol My boy’s in love fr,” a fan wrote.
      The Weeknd himself has confirmed that “After Hours” is about the pain of a heartbreak. Sharing his way to cope with his pain, the “Starboy” hitmaker told CR Men prior to the album release, “I don’t like to leave my house too much. It’s a gift and a curse, but it helps me give undivided attention to my work.”
      “Even when I’m not working, I’m always somehow still working. It distracts from the loneliness, I guess,” he added. “I feel confident with where I’m taking this [new] record. There’s also a very committed vision and character being portrayed, and I get to explore a different side of me that my fans have never seen.”
      Addressing how people interpret his music, The Weeknd shared, “I try not to read too many reviews, especially if it’s negative, but I never made ‘My Dear Melancholy’ with the intent on saying f**k you to anybody. It was just how I felt at the time. The sonic environment felt fitting for how I wanted to tell that story. I feel like I have sonic ADD, and I can’t just stick to one sound, and I feel like it irritates a lot of listeners, but it’s just how my mind works.”

      Duffy Comes Out With First Song After Rape Revelation to Lift Spirits Amid Coronavirus Crisis

      by

      When releasing ‘Something Beautiful’ to BBC radio personality Jo Whiley, the ‘Mercy’ hitmaker confesses that she still finds it hard to talk about her sexual assault ordeal.
      Mar 20, 2020
      AceShowbiz – Welsh singer Duffy has offered up her first song since revealing she was raped and held captive during a now-deleted Instagram post last month (February).
      The 35-year-old uploaded “Something Beautiful” for the attention of BBC radio favourite Jo Whiley, suggesting she play it on her daily show.
      In a candid Instagram post, she revealed she had intended to offer up a spoken-word interview, detailing the ordeal that forced her to step away from music a decade ago, but found it too difficult.
      “Hi Jo,” her note began. “Hope you are well and keeping safe. Wanted to send you this to play on the radio, if you want. You may have read the words I wrote a few weeks back, I do feel freer. Tried to follow up with a spoken interview, but it’s harder than I thought, I will follow up in writing soon.”
      She added: “Universal Music & no one knows I am doing this. They won’t be mad, they are lovely people. So here’s a song… here’s ‘Something Beautiful’. It’s just something for you to play people on radio during these troubling times, if you like the song of course. If it lifts spirits.”
      “I don’t plan to release it, I just thought a little something might be nice for people if they are at home, on lockdown.”

      Duffy first revealed she was held captive and raped in an emotional social media post a month ago, which has since been deleted.
      “You can only imagine the amount of times I thought about writing this. The way I would write it, how I would feel thereafter,” she wrote. “Well, not entirely sure why now is the right time, and what it is that feels exciting and liberating for me to talk. I cannot explain it.”
      “Many of you wonder what happened to me, where did I disappear to and why. The truth is, and please trust me I am ok and safe now, I was raped and drugged and held captive over some days. Of course I survived. The recovery took time. There’s no light way to say it. But I can tell you in the last decade, the thousands and thousands of days I committed to wanting to feel the sunshine in my heart again, the sun does now shine.”

      WENN/Instar

      In an emotional video he shared online, the Zac Brown Band frontman warns Americans that the longer they don’t take the pandemic seriously, the longer everyone’s going to be out of jobs.
      Mar 20, 2020
      AceShowbiz – Country star Zac Brown is urging Americans to take the coronavirus outbreak very seriously after he was forced to fire most of his touring staff after show cancellations.
      The Zac Brown Band frontman, who was forced to scrap his group’s North American tour last week due to health and safety concerns, has taken to Instagram to reveal he had to let go of 90 percent of his longtime crew members.
      “(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.”
      He also encouraged Americans to stop putting themselves and others at risk by continuing to go out rather than practice social distancing.

      “I got this message that I want to say to the people that aren’t taking this seriously and who are out partying, and the people that are out sitting on beaches and the people that don’t care if they get this virus and bring it home to their grandparents and maybe kill their grandparents or complicate their lives: The longer that America doesn’t take this seriously and doesn’t stay in and try to contain this, the longer everyone’s going to be out of jobs, the longer that we will be pushed into this recession that we’re all about to enter into.”

      by

      Instagram

      Having reworked the lyrics to her 2004 tune, the ‘Too Little Too Late’ singer shares a video of her singing about staying in, avoiding bars and practising good hygiene amid the pandemic.
      Mar 20, 2020
      AceShowbiz – JoJo thrilled fans on video sharing platform TikTok with a topical reworking of the lyrics to her 2004 hit “Leave (Get Out)”.
      The singer was just 13 when she released the track and, 16 years on, the star shared a clever remix of the tune online with new lyrics relating to the current global coronavirus pandemic.
      In the song, JoJo sings about staying in, avoiding bars, and practising good hygiene – and fans are calling for the singer to get a Grammy for her savvy lyrics.
      “I never thought that corona/ could be such a nasty b***h/ but now she’s here boy all I want/ is you to use common sense,” she sings. “Stay in/ right now/ do it for humanity/ I’m deada** about that/ but we will survive/ so you gon’/ learn how/ to cook now/ and practice good hygiene/ I know you’re bored and want to f**k around but not on me (sic).”
      Other lyrics include, “Tell me why you’re acting so confused/ when the CDC laid it out for you/ come on I know you’re not dumb/ to go behind my back and hit the bar/ shows how immature you really are/ keep exposure to a minimum.”

      Several stars have taken to social media to update fans on life in self-isolation. Arnold Schwarzenegger shared a clip Sunday, March 15 which went viral, featuring him feeding his pet miniature pony, called Whiskey, and donkey Lulu, carrots from his kitchen table.

      Musical stars including Coldplay’s Chris Martin, singer John Legend and pop star Charli XCX have also pledged to stream concerts from their homes as the World Health Organization (WHO) urges people to stay home and practice social distancing to prevent the spread of COVID-19.

      Kelsea Ballerini Ensures New Album Will Come Out as Planned Despite Cancellation of Promotion

      by

      Instagram

      In a video message she posted on social media, the ‘Peter Pan’ singer expresses her belief that ‘music can bring a lot of peace when things feel really unsettled.’
      Mar 19, 2020
      AceShowbiz – Kelsea Ballerini has been left disappointed after having to cancel a host of plans she’d made to support the release of her new album due to the coronavirus pandemic.
      The 24-year-old singer is dropping her new album “Kelsea” on Friday, March 20, and had been scheduled to make several pit stops to promote the release.
      But as concerns about Covid-19 continue to swirl, and more and more people make the decision to self-isolate or practise social distancing, Kelsea has made the tough decision to axe the plans.
      “So friends, my album still comes out Friday, which I am so excited about, more than I can even say,” she said in a video message posted on Instagram. “However, this week is going to look a lot different than we had planned for and hoped for and dreamed up. I really wanted there to be so many moments and opportunities for me, face to face, to play these songs for you for the first time, and hug as many of you as possible.”
      “But, what I care about more than that is everyone staying safe and staying healthy, so a lot of our plans have changed. The silver lining is, I feel and really believe that music can bring a lot of peace when things feel really unsettled, and it can make you feel calm when life feels chaotic.”
      The “Yeah Boy” star continued to tell fans she’s hoping to “bring all of our plans back to life” at some point in the future.”

      “It’s just not in the timeline that we had pictured,” she admitted. “But I love you guys, and I can’t wait to hear what you think about this album. Please stay safe, and I’ll be around on the social medias, so just holler. You have a friend. Album comes out Friday. Stay safe, guys.”
