    The criticism doesn’t go unnoticed by the festival which quickly claps back at the Tesla founder with many dubbing its response ‘the best comeback of the day.’
    Mar 11, 2020
    AceShowbiz – Elon Musk has weighed in on Coachella decision to push back this year’s event to October in light of Coronavirus outbreak. Taking to his Twitter account, the tech mogul mocks the festival by calling it “sucking.”
    “Coachella should postpone itself until it stops sucking,” so he wrote on the blue bird app on Tuesday, March 10. “Too much corporate sponsorship killed the vibe,” the Tesla founder explained in a separate tweet, though he noted that the festival used to be “good maybe 5 or 6 years ago when you could wonder around & find great unknown bands.”
    Sincere Show echoed the billionaire’s statement, saying, “Yeah it got to big for no reason.” Another person shared, “Right. Now all these ig models and youtubers go there just to show off their basic outfits, and snort coke.”

    The criticism didn’t go unnoticed by the festival which quickly clapped back at Elon. Through its official Twitter account, Coachella shut him down with a photo and simply captioned it, “lol.”
    It might look like a simple comeback but it was rather powerful. The snap that Coachella used was a picture of Jaden Smith performing at the top of a Tesla Model X, which was suspended in the air with its Falcon Wing Doors up, during his Coachella set last year.
    Acknowledging his defeat in the online back-and-forth, Elon responsed, “Ok fine. that was good haha.” Other Internet users also applaused Coachella for its clapback. “Well played @coachella,” one tweeted while some others wrote, “BURN.”

    Coachella had a strong comeback at Elon Musk’s diss.
    “Oh damn. Best comeback of the day. And it’s only 10am EST,” a person commented.

    Jayden Smith chimed in on the conversation.
    Meanwhile, Jayden also chimed in on the conversation. The musician son of Will Smith appeared to extend an olive branch of love for both Elon and Coachella by tweeting, “:) @elonmusk I Love You @coachella I Love You.”

    AceShowbiz – Sheryl Crow, the Brothers Osborne and Jason Isbell are among the country stars who banded together in Nashville, Tennessee on Monday (March 09) to raise $500,000 (£387,500) for tornado relief efforts.
    Ashley McBryde, Brandi Carlile, The Black Keys rocker Dan Auerbach, Yola, Old Crow Medicine Show and Margo Price also hit the stage for the To Nashville, With Love benefit gig, which featured a special performance with all of the artists joining forces for a cover of Neil Young’s “Rockin’ in the Free World”.
    Country newcomer Yola included a rendition of Marvin Gaye and Tammi Terrell classic “You’re All I Need to Get By” in her set, explaining the song’s lyrics really spoke to her in the wake of the deadly natural disaster, which ripped through Nashville and the surrounding areas on 3 March.

    She told local paper The Tennessean, “I thought that it was a really wonderful sentiment that needed to be said. You’re what I need. It’s the community that we need. It’s the people that we need. It’s our relationships.”
    The special sold out event, held at Marathon Music Works, raised an estimated $500,000, which will be donated to officials at the To Nashville, With Love Fund to aid disaster relief efforts and mental health organisations offering support after the tragedy.

    Chester Bennington's Widow Brings 320 Festival to Los Angeles for Change in Mental Health Culture

    WENN/DJDM

    Talinda Bennington-Friedman, whose Linkin Park frontman husband died of suicide in 2017, wants to further normalize mental health conversations and provide resources for those in need.
    Mar 11, 2020
    AceShowbiz – Chester Bennington’s widow Talinda wants to normalise mental health conversations and provide resources for those in need and their families with a festival she is launching in Los Angeles in May.
    Talinda Bennington-Friedman established the 320 Changes Direction organisation after the Linkin Park frontman’s death via suicide in 2017, to help raise awareness and funding to tackle mental health issues.
    Now she has teamed up with Warped Tour founder Kevin Lyman to launch the first ever 320 Festival, to be held at the L.A. Live venue on 9 May.
    “We are thrilled to announce the 320 Festival and welcome all to L.A. LIVE on May 9th! Come join us for a day dedicated to normalizing mental health conversations and providing resources,” Talinda announced on Twitter.
    Discussing why she launched the organisation with the AltPress website last month, Talinda said she had to watch her late husband struggle with mental health issues, with little help.
    “For 13 years I watched my husband Chester struggle with depression and substance use,” she explained. “I often felt scared and alone. I was uneducated about the challenges he faced and I wanted information, but finding answers to my questions and available help for our family was very difficult.”
    “We need to change the culture of mental health so that those in need – and their family members – are able to speak openly about their struggles so that they can seek the care they deserve.”

    The 320 Festival will include a mental health summit, music and a film event, and all the profits will go to 320’s non-profit partner organisations.

    Ozzy Osbourne Gets Emotional in 'Ordinary Man' Music Video

    [embedded content]

    The visuals sees the former Black Sabbath frontman looking at footage from his life that includes home videos of his family and the all-terrain vehicle accident.
    Mar 11, 2020
    AceShowbiz – Ozzy Osbourne is tugging at fans’ heartstrings with an emotional new video, in which he looks back at his highs and lows.
    The rock legend’s “Ordinary Man” promo, which dropped on Tuesday, March 10, features Ozzy in an empty cinema looking at footage from his life – from photos and home videos of himself with his family and concert clips to the all-terrain vehicle accident, which left him with metal rods in his spine.
    There are also arrest mugshots and video of the former Black Sabbath star losing control, drinking heavily and abusing drugs, while his manager/wife Sharon Osbourne, who co-produced the “Ordinary Man” video alongside Ozzy’s son Jack, appears to despair in throwback footage.
    In between the clips, Osbourne is caught smiling and hanging his head in his hands as some of his life lows are chronicled on the screen in front of him.
    The blink-and-you’ll-miss-it clip of his ATV accident in December, 2003, shows a friend coming to Ozzy’s aid as he lies motionless in a field.
    The injuries he sustained are still a big issue for Ozzy – he pulled the plug on his 2019 “No More Tours II” concerts after dislodging the metal rods in his spine during a fall at home.
    The new video also features scenes of the rocker’s hometown of Birmingham, England.
    “Ordinary Man”, which features both Elton John and Slash, is the title track from Osbourne’s latest album.
