      The ‘All I Want for Christmas Is You’ hitmaker apologizes after she is forced to postpone her upcoming show in Hawaii amid concerns over the ongoing coronavirus threats.
      Mar 5, 2020
      AceShowbiz – Mariah Carey has pulled a concert in Hawaii over fears surrounding the spread of the coronavirus.
      Since it emerged in China in December 2019, the virus has sparked outbreaks across the world, prompting governments to impose travel and event restrictions and artists including Stormzy, Avril Lavigne, Halsey, and BTS to cancel or postpone gigs.
      Mariah is the latest performer to have a date fall victim to the disease announcing she is postponing next Tuesday’s March 10, 2020 performance at the Neal S. Blaisdell Arena in Honolulu due to travel restrictions and fears for her fans’ safety.
      “Aloha Hawaii!! I’m so so sad to have to announce that I’m postponing my show to November,” she wrote on Instagram on Tuesday. “I was so excited to come back to Hawaii on my ‘anniversary month’ but evolving international travel restrictions force us to consider everyone’s safety and well being.”
      Postponing the show until November, she revealed she will instead perform one of her Christmas shows in the Pacific Ocean state.
      The pop diva added, “I am SUPER excited to be coming to Honolulu in November and perform my special All I Want for Christmas Is You & Hits extravaganza for the first time ever in Hawaii! I can’t wait to see you! Stay safe!!”
      The virus has now infected more than 94,000 across the world, killing more than 3,000, and its spread has put everything from film releases to concerts and sports events in jeopardy due to fears of a global pandemic.

      Genesis to Reunite for U.K. Tour 13 Years After Last Gig

      by

      Phil Collins, Tony Banks and Mike Rutherford will make the official announcement on BBC radio months after the trio were seen watching a basketball game in New York City together.
      Mar 4, 2020
      AceShowbiz – British rock legends Genesis are to reunite for a U.K. tour, according to multiple reports.
      Phil Collins, Tony Banks and Mike Rutherford will officially announce the big news on BBC radio on Wednesday morning (March 04), but they appeared to jump the reveal by posting a throwback photo of the trio on Instagram on Tuesday, with the caption: “And then there were three.”
      The group’s original frontman, Peter Gabriel, is not expected to be part of the reunion, which takes place 13 years after his former bandmates last played together to mark their 40th anniversary.

      The reunion news comes two months after Collins, Rutherford and Banks were spotted watching a basketball game together in New York City.
      Collins is unlikely to sing and play drums onstage after admitting he can no longer get behind the kit after multiple back surgeries.
      He recently told Rolling Stone that he’d like his 19-year-old son, Nicholas, to take over drumming if a reunion came about, stating, “I haven’t really said it to Tony and Mike… (but) if we did anything again it would be with Nic on drums,” he said.
      And Rutherford seemed to like the idea while talking about a get together on “Good Morning Britain”: “I’ve always said, for years, never say never (to a reunion)… Phil (Collins) is in good shape now out touring, his son (Nic) is drumming – fantastic drummer. Never say never.”

      Maluma Postpones Milan Concert, Lacuna Coil Axe Tour Dates Over Coronavirus Fears

      by

      Instagram

      The ‘Corazon’ singer reschedules the Italian stop of his ’11:11 World Tour’, while the gothic metal band pulls out of Asia and Australia concerts that include the Download Festival.
      Mar 4, 2020
      AceShowbiz – Latin superstar Maluma and heavy rockers Lacuna Coil have become the latest artists to cancel concerts in the wake of the coronavirus crisis.
      Maluma is currently on the road with his “11:11 World Tour”, but he will no longer be performing in Milan, Italy on Saturday (March 07), opting to postpone the gig until 31 March, according to Billboard.com.
      At present, no other live dates have been scrapped or pushed back.
      Meanwhile, Italian goth metal stars Lacuna Coil have pulled a string of upcoming concerts in Asia and Australia, including the Download Festival stops in Melbourne and Sydney on 20 and 21 March, and Canadian rockers Wolf Parade have nixed their booked events across Europe and the U.K.

      “It would be both globally irresponsible and potentially risky for the band to carry out the tour at this time,” the group shared in a statement posted on Facebook.
      “We did not arrive at this decision easily, but in the end, the band and our team all agree it is the right and responsible decision. We hope you understand.”

      Other musicians to rethink tour dates as the coronavirus continues to spread include Avril Lavigne, BTS (Bangtan Boys), New Order, and Green Day.
      The coronavirus has claimed over 3,000 lives so far, with more than 90,000 people infected worldwide.

      Megan Thee Stallion's Label Boss Accuses Jay-Z of Trying to Steal Her, Claims She Owes Him $2M

      by

      Instagram/https://www.beyonce.com/

      The 1501 CEO Carl Crawford claims he’s being robbed and blames Jay-Z’s management company Roc Nation for pitting him against the ‘Hot Girl Summer’ hitmaker.
      Mar 4, 2020
      AceShowbiz – Carl Crawford broke his silence on Megan Thee Stallion fiasco. The 1501 label boss denied being greedy and blocking her from releasing new music. “The only thing we ever did was give, give, give. Now, she fell for the oldest trick in the industry: the conquer and divide theme,” he told Billboard.
      Carl blamed Jay-Z for causing friction between him and his artist. He said, “Everybody in the industry knows this is what Jay-Z and Roc Nation do: They come in, the find the smallest things wrong with the problem — because there weren’t any problems before she left — and then she says that I didn’t want to negotiate?”
      He continued, “Ok, tell everybody your definition of negotiating. Your definition is, ‘OK. I’m going to send Suge Knight’s old lawyers to come in, and it’s a stick-up…’ Of course, I’m like, ‘This isn’t a negotiation. This is a robbery.’ ”
      He also accused Jay-Z of trying to steal Megan, “Their real plan was to get you out of my contract so they can sign you to Roc Nation. That’s all they want to do.”
      “We gave this girl a 60-40 split. Now go ask the artist about that. She got parts of her masters [the] first time. You think Jay-Z would have gave her part of her masters on her first deal with Roc Nation? F**k no. Then, she’s getting $100,000 a show and she don’t want to pay up. That’s what the issue was about. She signed with Roc Nation in August and decided she didn’t wanna pay me no more.”
      While Megan claimed Carl held her album hostage, the label boss accused her of owing him nearly $2 million. “They’re using that as a strong-arm tactic so that I can renegotiate the contract,” he explained. “They’re holding the money, and they haven’t paid me since August. She done over 15 shows. Y’all do the math.”
      “She gets $100,000 a show. She owe me, and I haven’t recouped almost $2 million that we spent on her, building her up so that Roc Nation would wanna come [around]. Where was Roc Nation at when we was grinding and riding around on them backstreets? Roc Nation was nowhere to be found.”
      While scoffing at her claims about not understanding her contract when she first signed it, he accused her of lying about her age. “She signed two contacts. You signed one with me and 300 [Entertainment]. You mean to tell me, you, your mama and your lawyer didn’t read over that stuff every time? Stop lying. You wasn’t 20, you were 23 years old. You was a grown up. You’re just a liar.”

      Jay-Z to Sign $10M Deal With Sony

      by

      https://www.beyonce.com/

      The Roc Nation founder is allegedly getting ready to sign a new multi-million-dollar deal with the giant music publishing company to manage all the songs he penned.
      Mar 4, 2020
      AceShowbiz – Jay-Z is reportedly gearing up to boost his already bulging bank balance by signing a new $10 million deal with Sony.
      According to Britain’s The Sun newspaper, the rapper has been in discussions with Sony/ATV Music Publishing CEO Jon Platt, and has agreed a new deal which will see the label manage all the songs he has written to date.
      “Sony has had its eye on Jay for a while and they have reached a deal which allows them to manage the songs he has written in exchange for one of the biggest advances in publishing history,” a source told the publication. “This helps him extend his lead as one of the wealthiest artists in the business.”
      Jay has previously spoken highly of Platt, who oversaw a similar deal with the mogul’s wife Beyonce Knowles in January 2020, calling him his “brother” and the “Obama of the music industry.”

      Chuck D Responds After Flavor Flav Says He's Disappointed by Public Enemy Firing

      by

      Instagram

      The Public Enemy co-founder insists Flavor was not kicked out of the group due to their different political views following dispute over Bernie Sanders support.
      Mar 4, 2020
      AceShowbiz – Flavor Flav has responded after being fired from Public Enemy, admitting he’s “very disappointed” in co-founder Chuck D.
      The feud between the pair began after Chuck signed up to perform with offshoot band Public Enemy Radio at a Los Angeles rally for Bernie Sanders, leading to Flav sending the politician a cease-and-desist notice to stop using Public Enemy’s name and his likeness in campaign propaganda.
      Chuck then hit back at his original bandmate, with his attorney insisting he “could perform as Public Enemy if he ever wanted to” because “he is the sole owner of the Public Enemy trademark,” and insisted on Twitter that his issues with Flav’s stance don’t stem from their political beliefs.
      A few hours later, a statement from Public Enemy announced they would be “moving forward without” Flav, and the rapper responded on his own Twitter page on Monday night, March 2, 2020.
      “Are you kidding me right now??? Over Bernie Sanders???” he tweeted. “You wanna destroy something we’ve built over 35 years OVER POLITICS??? All because I don’t wanna endorse a candidate… I’m very disappointed in you and your decisions right now Chuck.”
      He then added that he is not Chuck’s “employee… I’m your partner… you can’t fire me,” and tweeted, “There is no Public Enemy without Flavor Flav… so let’s get it right Chuck.”

      Following his tweets, Public Enemy hit back in another statement, insisting they “did not part ways with Flavor Flav over his political views.”
      “Flavor Flav has been on suspension since 2016 when he was MIA from the Harry Belafonte benefit in Atlanta, Georgia,” the statement continued. “That was the last straw for the group.”
      “He had previously missed numerous live gigs from Glastonbury to Canada, album recording sessions and photo shoots. He always chose to party over work.”

      Flav has yet to respond to the latest Public Enemy statement.
