      In their released statement, the country group announce that they will not fly to the U.K. and Ireland for the three-venue festival, claiming that the safety of their team is their top priority.
      Mar 7, 2020
      AceShowbiz – Country group Old Dominion have pulled out of performances at the 2020 C2C Music Festival due to concerns about the spread of the coronavirus.
      The bandmates released a statement on Friday, March 06, revealing they would not be making the trip to the U.K. and Ireland for the three-venue festival, headlined by Darius Rucker, Eric Church and Luke Combs, later this month (March 13-15).
      They have also scrapped shows in Germany, Holland, Ireland, and the U.K.
      “With growing uncertainty and (the) unpredictable nature of the virus that is spreading throughout the world, the safety and security of our entire team is the top priority,” the statement from the group reads.
      The Shires will replace Old Dominion, making them the first U.K. artists to perform on the C2C main stage.
      The festival is now in its eighth year.

      Coronavirus concerns have also decimated the SXSW festival in Austin, Texas, with bosses at Twitter, Facebook, Netflix, Apple and more pulling shows and presentations from the event, while several acts have scrapped plans to travel until the pandemic is under control.

      As WENN went to press, both California’s Coachella festival in April and England’s Glastonbury weekender in June are scheduled to go ahead as planned with no acts pulling out.

      Tool Fans Warned of Exposure to Coronavirus at New Zealand Concert

      Instagram

      An audience member from one of the ‘Schism’ rock band’s gigs in the country has been diagnosed with the illness, making him the nation’s fourth case of the virus.
      Mar 7, 2020
      AceShowbiz – Fans of rockers Tool are being urged to be aware of coronavirus symptoms after an audience member from one of the group’s recent New Zealand gigs was diagnosed with the illness.
      A man in his 30s, who attended the gig in Auckland’s Spark Arena, has been confirmed as the nation’s fourth case of the virus, with health officials advising fellow attendees monitor symptoms closely.
      While they added the risk of catching the virus was “low”, they advised, “He was in the general admission standing area in the front left-hand quadrant,” reported the BBC.
      New Zealand’s director-general of health Dr Ashley Bloomfield said fans in the vicinity of the man at the Stinkfist stars’ concert were considered “casual contacts”.
      “They are at low risk and the appropriate action for them is to just be aware of the symptoms (and) call Healthline if they are concerned or if they have any symptoms,” he said.
      The man, who recently arrived back in the country following a trip to northern Italy, has been isolated at home since Wednesday (March 04). His partner was announced as New Zealand’s second case earlier this week.
      Italy has seen almost 4,000 cases of the virus, with a total of 148 deaths when WENN went to press – the largest outbreak in Europe. Worldwide, more than 98,000 cases of coronavirus have been confirmed, killing more than 3,000 people.

      by

      One week after being toppled down by Billie Eilish’s James Bond theme ‘No Time to Die’, the second single from the ‘Starboy’ singer’s ‘After Hours’ returns to the number one spot.

      Last week’s number one, BTS (Bangtan Boys)’ “Map of the Soul: 7” falls to three, with Harry Styles’ “Fine Line” at four, and Stormzy’s “Heavy Is The Head” rounding out the new top five.

      The ‘Hot Girl Summer’ raptress also denies that her move to Roc Nation had nothing to do with the drama, assuring that Jay-Z, the founder of the company, is ‘not worried about them.’
      Mar 7, 2020
      AceShowbiz – Megan Thee Stallion is currently in the middle of legal battle with her label 1501 Records as she claimed that they tried to block her from releasing music. Detailing the affair, the Hot Girl Summer got candid in a recent interview while she stopped by The Breakfast Club, though she put in a disclaimer that “a lot of things I can’t say because it’s legal. I gotta handle it in court.”
      “When I first got signed, it was Carl and T Farris,” she explained. “Everybody was super nice of course. But for whatever reason, me and my mom were super drawn to T Farris. He was really nice, really supportive. I recorded at the studio every day with them. I had shows, I was just coming up. T Farris would be there, Carl would pop up from time to time. I’m pretty sure he’d help with radio.”
      “When things started really taking off, it would be me, my mom, and T Farris,” she went on saying. “When we’d be on the road, that’s the team. When things start picking up even more, I got signed with 300. So I really didn’t see nobody from 1501 that much.”
      During the interview, Meg also denied that her move to Roc Nation had nothing to do with the drama. “Jay-Z not worried about them,” Meg assured. “You saying names just trying to draw attention to the situation…I feel like people want to bully me. You don’t have to gang up on me. I didn’t do nothing to ya’ll.”
      “I was at a point where I was already frustrated,” she says. “When I found out I couldn’t drop any music, I was like I might as well say something now, ya’ll ain’t letting me drop music.”

      When Charlamagne Tha God asked her what was the motive of the alleged boycott, Megan revealed that she didn’t even know why 1501 didn’t let her release music despite her being one of the hottest hip-hop stars today. “I really don’t know. What’s the thought process?” she shared.
