      Billie Eilish and Finneas Get to Read 'No Time to Die' Script Before Creating Theme Song

      by

      During an interview for ‘Good Morning America’, score composer Hans Zimmer reveals that the ‘Bad Guy’ hitmaker and her producer brother have also watched the upcoming James Bond film.
      Feb 19, 2020
      AceShowbiz – Songwriter and producer FINNEAS scored a sneak peek at the new Bond movie script after signing up to create the film’s theme tune with his sister, Billie Eilish.
      The hitmaker had always dreamed of composing a 007 theme and when he got the call, he wanted to make sure his effort would be a hit among the film’s producers.
      “We didn’t want to go in blind, so we asked if we could have any of the script and we were given a scene of the script to read and that informed all the lyrics,” FINNEAS tells “Good Morning America”.
      The film’s score composer Hans Zimmer also insisted Billie and FINNEAS got to see the film, “They were there and we were here (in London) and they hadn’t seen the movie, so I said, ‘Would you mind jumping onto a plane and sitting in a sweaty little cutting room in the middle of the night, completely jetlagged, and watch this movie.”

      FINNEAS is thrilled with the end result, “No Time to Die”, which Zimmer and Bond director Cary Joji Fukunaga are raving about, and admits the new Bond film title was a big help. “We knew we wanted the song to be the same title as the film, so we lucked out on the title,” he explains. “It wasn’t called Quantum of Solace! It’s a wonderful film title, wonderful film, but hard song title to write.”

      Brit Awards Boss Responds to Charli XCX and Anne-Marie's Criticisms

      by

      WENN/Avalon

      The British music awards is criticized for lack of female nominees but the chief defends the nominations and insists they simply reflected a strong 2019 for male acts.
      Feb 19, 2020
      AceShowbiz – Brit Awards boss Geoff Taylor has hit back at Charli XCX and Anne-Marie’s criticism of the lack of female nominees for this year’s British Album of the Year prize.
      Anne-Marie and Charli have both expressed frustration at the lack of women on a shortlist for Tuesday’s February 18, 2020 ceremony that features Dave, Stormzy, Lewis Capaldi, Harry Styles, and Michael Kiwanuka.
      However, Geoff, the chief executive at awards organisers the British Phonographic Industry (BPI), points out that three of last year’s five nominees, who included Anne-Marie, were women – although all-male band The 1975 won on the night.
      “There’s been a lot of success for male acts in 2019 – and with grime and hip-hop doing very well, they are more male-dominated genres,” he tells Britain’s Music Week magazine. “That is different to 2019.”
      “We had a really strong showing from female (nominees) last year with the same (gender) balance in the academy. So last year it was all about Dua Lipa, Anne-Marie, Jorja Smith, Florence (Florence and the Machine), and Jess Glynne.”
      The BPI chief went on to say that the nominations simply reflected a strong 2019 for male acts.
      “When you look at the Album of the Year nominees, they all released absolutely fantastic records,” he says. “We have an academy that’s made up equally of men and women, and that academy decided that these were the best releases of this particular year. I think we need to respect that.”
      Anne-Marie told Britain’s Daily Mirror newspaper the lack of female representation this year “does p**s me off,” while Charli, who could win the British Female Solo Artist prize at the event at the O2 in London, expressed fury about the lack of gender-balance.
      “What the f**k is that about?” she raged. “It’s what everyone has been saying. Women don’t just deserve to be in the female categories, we’re not the subplot, the warm-up act, we’re the main event.”

      by

      WENN/STMC

      The ‘Candle in the Wind’ hitmaker is still too sick to perform so he is forced to postpone his remaining New Zealand shows following his walking pneumonia diagnosis.
      Feb 19, 2020
      AceShowbiz – Elton John has postponed the final two shows of the New Zealand leg of his world tour after cutting a gig short due to suffering from walking pneumonia.
      The 72-year-old was performing at Auckland’s Mount Smart Stadium on Sunday, February 16, 2020 when he stopped the show almost two hours in, telling the audience, “I can’t sing… I’ve got to go. I’m sorry,” but had vowed to continue the tour as planned.
      However, in a statement on Tuesday, he announced the shows at the same venue on Wednesday, February 19 and Thursday, February 20 would not go ahead after he consulted with his doctors – and would be pushed back until next year.
      According to the website Stuff.co.nz, the rock legend said in a statement, “I’m incredibly disappointed to have to reschedule my remaining Auckland dates and I want to send my sincerest apologies to my amazing fans for any inconvenience caused.”
      “I always want to be able to give 100 per cent and I’m afraid that, right now, I’m not able to do that. I am grateful for the love and loyalty I have been shown by all of you and I can’t wait to return in January next year to perform my final New Zealand shows.”
      Promoter Michael Chugg said Elton was “devastated” to postpone the shows but he “has to listen to his doctors and recover properly right now.”
      The Auckland shows have been rescheduled for and January 15 and 16 2021. The Rocket Man singer’s next concert on his Farewell Yellow Brick Road trek in Melbourne, Australia, on Saturday is still going ahead as planned, pending further announcements.

      Justin Bieber Credits Ariana Grande for Giving Him 'Boost' to Return to Music Industry

      In a new interview, the Canadian superstar admits taking the stage alongside the ‘Thank U, Next’ singer at Coachella last year pushed him to end his music hiatus.
      Feb 18, 2020
      AceShowbiz – Justin Bieber was inspired to make his return to music after making an appearance during Ariana Grande’s Coachella set.
      The “Baby” hitmaker credits taking the stage alongside the pop star last year for pushing him to end his hiatus, revealing he initially struggled with anxiety over how his new material would be received.
      “I was dealing with a lot of fear, a lot of just… was afraid of, at that point, just even the process,” he tells Beats 1 with Zane Lowe. “What am I going to talk about again? Is it going to be received? I’m starting to compare with other artists.”
      He added, “I think when I went on stage with Ariana Grande, I seen the reaction of how people reacted when I went on the stage (sic). It was like, ‘Okay.’ She gave me kind of a boost of confidence and reminded me because it’d been so long since I’d been on stage. Just kind of reminded me… ‘Oh, this is what I do. This is what I’m good at.’ And I don’t need to run away from it.”
      The experience taught the singer to face his fears head on rather than let them stop him.
      “I was running away,” he shares. “I think a lot of us need to take that when something’s hard. It’s almost like we need to run towards the pain and run towards the hurt rather than run away from it. I think you get kind of healing when it comes to that.”

      NBA YoungBoy Risks Facing Charges for Holding Guns in 'Bad Bad' Music Video

      by

      In the new visuals, the ‘Dirty Iyanna’ rapper is being surrounded by his crew and the majority of them are carrying items that look like semi-automatic guns.
      Feb 18, 2020
      AceShowbiz – NBA YoungBoy a.k.a. YoungBoy Never Broke Again’s “Bad Bad” music video might land him in troubles with the law. The “Dirty Iyanna” rapper is risking facing charges after he’s seen holding guns in the new visuals.
      In the music video that was released on Monday, February 17, YB is surrounded by his crew and the majority of them carry items that look like semi-automatic guns. The 20-year-old also carries some as well, getting goofy while pretending to shoot the camera. “YoungBoy came back like they left him for dead/ Coolin’, rollin’, I told you shawty, ‘Give me head’/ Shawty don’t love me, you know, I’ma treat her bad,” he raps in the video.
      East Baton Rouge District Attorney Hillar Moore said that YB has a chance of facing charges due to his status of a convicted felon. In 2017, he pleaded guilty to a reduced charge of aggravated assault with firearm after facing two counts of attempted murder.
      Aside from YB, his half-brother Jeffrey Tate is also seen in the music video holding a gun. The fact that he carries a weapon in the video has sparked concern as well considering that he was involved in the murder of 17-year-old Javon Brown.
      Jeffrey and his brother, Devaughn, were arrested and charged with second-degree murder in connection to the murder of Javon. Jeffrey was charged with second-degree murder, principal to illegal use of a weapon and simple battery. A judge also determined that he would be standing trial as an adult. On the other hand, Davaughn is now facing charges of illegal use of a weapon and second-degree murder.
      YB has yet to make any public statements regarding the charges against his brothers. He’s also still silent about the concern surrounding the content of the music video.
