      Madonna Angers Fans Over Three Hour Delay to 'Madame X Paris' Show

      The ‘Medellin’ singer has reportedly completed her February 22 concert at 2:15 A.M. the next day after the production was hit with ‘unforeseen technical problems.’
      Feb 25, 2020
      AceShowbiz – Madonna’s “Madame X” Show in Paris, France was delayed by three hours on Saturday, February 22, after the production was hit with “unforeseen technical problems.”
      The “Vogue” hitmaker is currently in the midst of a 12-night residency at the city’s Le Grand Rex venue, but was three hours late when she took the stage this weekend due to production issues.
      According to French site RTL, a technician claimed the performance was delayed due to certain decorations for the tour not being compatible with the concert’s venue.
      The publication also reported the show eventually ended at 2:15 A.M. on Sunday morning, leaving many of the 2,800 fans in attendance struggling to travel home.
      Disgruntled fans took to social media, insisting the “Medellin” star did not perform until midnight, when she was due to hit the stage more than three hours earlier.

      “How could you be more disrespectful to your fans? Several shows cancelled without any reasons (we still had to pay for our plane tickets to go to Paris, thank you very much) and now you start your show 4 hours late… Your behaviour is a shame! You shouldn’t sing anymore…” wrote one user.

      “Does @Madonna know that her fans have a life, are parents who have their children babysat to come and see her?” wrote another fan, while a third added, “Three hours late is unacceptable for a queen like you. We have schedules to respect in Paris.”

      The “Madame X Tour” has proved problematic for the star, with Madonna cancelling shows in cities including New York, Los Angeles and London earlier on in the tour, which kicked off in September (2019).
      The final show takes place on March 11.

      James Hetfield Offers Explanation Behind Metallica's Cancellation of Two Festival Shows

      by

      WENN/Adriana M. Barraza

      The ‘Enter Sandman’ rockers have bowed out of the Sonic Temple Art + Music Festival in Columbus, Ohio in May, and of the Louder Than Life bash in Louisville, Kentucky in September.
      Feb 25, 2020
      AceShowbiz – Metallica has pulled out of two upcoming festival gigs to allow frontman James Hetfield to attend “critical recovery events” as part of his battle with sobriety.
      The “Enter Sandman” rockers had been booked to perform a double headlining set at the Sonic Temple Art + Music Festival in Columbus, Ohio in May, and perform at the Louder Than Life bash in Louisville, Kentucky in September, but they have since bowed out of the shows due to a personal diary clash.
      In an open letter to fans, Hetfield, whose rehabilitation treatment last year (19) prompted the group to postpone a planned Australian tour, apologizes to ticketholders and writes, “As part of my continuing effort to get and stay healthy, I have critical recovery events on those weekends that cannot be moved…”
      “The reality is that I have not prioritized my health in the past year of touring and I now know that my mental health comes first,” he explains. “That might sound like a no-brainer for most of you but I didn’t want to let the Metallica team/family down and, I alone, completely compromised myself.”
      The singer goes on to share that he is making good progress with his ongoing treatment, “Looking on the brighter side, my therapy is going well. It was absolutely necessary for me to look after my mental, physical, and spiritual health.”
      He assures fans all other Metallica concerts will go ahead as planned, and concludes his statement with a note of gratitude.
      “Beyond 2020, I am optimistic about the blessings I have been given and what the future brings,” he adds.
      “I appreciate all the great prayers and support from everyone since I went into rehab last September. Like the moth into the flame, being human in this career has its huge challenges and can be difficult. Your understanding helps the healing.”

      The Red Hot Chili Peppers and Tool will step in as replacement headliners for the Sonic Temple Art + Music Festival, while the new Louder Than Life performers are set to be announced soon.
      The cancellation news emerges days after Hetfield returned to the stage for the first time since his rehab stay to honor late rocker Eddie Money.
      The musician made a surprise appearance at a Thursday night (February 20) memorial show at the Saban Theatre in Beverly Hills, where he was joined by the likes of Sammy Hagar, Rick Springfield and George Thorogood.
      Hetfield performed Money’s tune “Baby Hold On”.
      Proceeds from the Money tribute show benefited the USC Eddie Money Cancer Research Fund.
      Money died in September, aged 70. following a battle with stage 4 esophageal cancer.
      Hetfield will be back onstage with Metallica in April for a show at the Estadio Nacional in Santiago, Chile.

      Beyonce Starts Kobe Bryant Memorial With Stirring Rendition of His Favorite Song

      by

      https://www.beyonce.com/

      The Celebration of Life event for the late basketball legend and his daughter, Gianna, at the Staples Center has Jimmy Kimmel serving as the MC and Vanessa Bryant sharing an emotional tribute.
      Feb 25, 2020
      AceShowbiz – Beyonce Knowles kicked off a Celebration of Life event for basketball legend Kobe Bryant and his daughter, Gianna, in Los Angeles on Monday, February 24.
      The superstar performed her song “XO” at the top of the Staples Center memorial, backed by a choir and a small orchestra, explaining it was one of Kobe’s “favourite songs”.
      “I’m here ’cause I love Kobe,” she told the packed venue, where the sportsman played for the Los Angeles Lakers.
      Dressed in a gold suit, Beyonce also performed a stirring rendition of her hit “Halo”.
      [embedded content]
      The memorial started 30 minutes late to allow thousands of fans to file in to the Staples Center.
      Kobe and Gianna were remembered at the event, alongside the other seven people who also perished in a helicopter crash last month (January 2020).
      The Celebration of Life also featured highlight clips of Kobe’s basketball career and his life with his family, beamed onto the Staples Center’s famous jumbotron screens.
      Kobe’s friend Jimmy Kimmel served as the event’s MC, but confessed he was the “wrong person” to lead the memorial as he sobbed while honouring his late friend and the victims of the crash, although he also managed a few laughs as he poked fun at the Lakers’ rivals, the Boston Celtics.
      Kobe’s wife, Vanessa, also took the stage to thank fans and friends for their support. Dressed all in black and fighting back tears, she said, “Thank you all so much for being here. It means so much to us…”
      “The outpouring of love and support that my family has felt from around the world has been so uplifting. Thank you so much for all your prayers…”
      She went on to talk about her “baby girl Gigi”, calling her an “amazingly sweet and thoughtful soul”, adding, “She was daddy’s girl but I know she loved her momma… She was one of my very best friends.”
      “Kobe always said she was me; she had my fire, my personality and sarcasm, but she was tender and loving on the inside. She had the best laugh. It was infectious. It was pure and genuine… Gigi was sunshine, she brightened up my day, every day.”
      Vanessa added, “We will not be able to see Gigi go to high school… and ask her how her day went; we didn’t get the chance to teach her how to drive a car; I won’t be able to tell her how gorgeous she looks on her wedding day; I’ll never get to see my baby girl walk down the aisle, have a father-daughter dance with her daddy… or have babies of her own. Gianna would have been an amazing mommy. Gianna would have probably become the best player in the WNBA (Women’s National Basketball Association). She would have made a huge difference for women’s basketball.”
      Turning her attention to her late husband, Vanessa called Kobe “my soulmate”, adding, “To me, he was Ko-ko, my boo boo, my bae-boo… I couldn’t see him as a celebrity, nor just an incredible basketball player; he was my sweet husband and the beautiful father of my children. He was mine. He was my everything.”
      “I was his first girlfriend, his first love, his wife, his best friend, his confidante and his protector. He was the most amazing husband. Kobe loved me more than I could ever express… we balanced each other out…”
      Recalling his thoughtful and romantic Valentine’s Day gifts, Vanessa told fans and friends, “He bought me the actual notebook and the blue dress Rachel McAdams wore in ‘The Notebook’ movie… We had hoped to grow old together, like the movie.”
      “A couple of weeks before they passed, Kobe sent me a sweet text and mentioned how he wanted to spend time together, just the two of us, without our kids, because I’m his best friend first. We never got the chance to do it… But I’m thankful I have that recent text. It means so much to me.”
      “Kobe wanted us to renew our vows… and he wanted to travel the world together.”
      Vanessa also lightened proceedings when she called her late husband the “MVP of girl dads”, explaining, “He never left the toilet seat up.”
      She added, “I want my daughters to know and remember the amazing person, husband and father he was; the kind of man that wanted to teach the future generations to be better and keep them from making his own mistakes… He taught us all valuable lessons about life and sports.”
      Tearing up at the end of her speech, Vanessa told the Staples Center crowd that God knew Kobe and Gigi couldn’t exist without each other, adding, “He had to bring them home to have them together. Babe, you take care of our Gigi… We love and miss you Boo Boo and GiGi. May you both rest in peace and have fun in heaven until we meet again one day.”
      She received a standing ovation as she walked off the stage.
      Other speakers included basketball stars Diana Taurasi, Sabrina Ionescu, college basketball coach Geno Auriemma, who had hoped to welcome Gianna Bryant to his Connecticut Huskies team, and Lakers general manager and Bryant’s best friend and former agent Rob Pelinka, who recalled his pal teaching himself to play Beethoven’s “Moonlight Senata” on the piano, so he could serenade his wife. Pelinka then introduced Alicia Keys to the stage to play the classical favourite.

      Among the mourners were Snoop Dogg, LL Cool J, Spike Lee, Jennifer Lopez, basketball greats Magic Johnson, Dwyane Wade, and Shaquille O’Neal, and current stars Stephen Curry, Dwight Howard, and James Harden.
      The proceeds from ticket sales for the Celebration of Life, which was interspersed with chants of ‘Kobe, Kobe, Kobe’, will benefit the Mamba & Mambacita Sports Foundation, which Vanessa relaunched earlier this month.

      Lord Jamar Isn't Having It After Eminem Admits He's a Guest in Hip-Hop

      by

      Instagram/WENN/Sheri Determan

      When asked whether or not he sees as a guest in hip-hop scene, the Detroit star says, ‘The funny s**t is, with the whole beef a certain person, I never said I wasn’t a guest.’
      Feb 24, 2020
      AceShowbiz – Lord Jamar doesn’t like the way Eminem admitted he’s a guest in the hip-hop scene. Following the Detroit star’s recent interview about the matter, the Brand Nubian member took to his Twitter account to roast his longtime nemesis.
      He said on the micro-blogging site, “I guess his EGO wouldn’t allow him to say ‘Lord Jamar was right the whole time, & I was buggin for coming at him the way I did…my bad…I am guest in the house of Hip Hop.’ ” He then added in a separate tweet, “At least the EGO was quelled enough to admit what I’d been saying all along.”

      “This s**t is case closed, now all together repeat after me…WHITE PEOPLE ARE GUESTS IN THE HOUSE OF HIP HOP THAT BLACK PEOPLE BUILT!” he continued. “Thank you and good night. (Drops mic and leaves podium.)”
      Em has yet to respond back to Jamar.
      During the interview itself, Em was asked whether or not he believes he’s a “guest in the house of Hip Hop.” Without mentioning Jamar’s name, Em responded, “The funny s**t is, with the whole beef a certain person, I never said I wasn’t a guest. I’m absolutely a guest. I never said I wasn’t. I never said I was king of anything, right?”
      Em went on to say that he doesn’t want to be the “king of hip-hop,” and that he would never put himself above any other rappers. “I don’t want to be the king of hip hop. Who the f**k is the king of hip hop?” he said. “Is there a king of hip-hop? People would say, ‘Just because you sell the most records doesn’t mean you’re the best. Even though you can rap 40 million syllables doesn’t mean you’re the best.’ I care more about rhyming the syllables. I care more about the craft than any of the other stuff.”

      Artist of the Week: Nicki Minaj

      by

      Instagram

      In such a short amount of time, the ‘Anaconda’ rapper manages to become one of the most popular female rap stars in the U.S. and build a large, loyal fanbase.
      Feb 24, 2020
      AceShowbiz – Nicki Minaj is truly a force to be reckoned with. Through her music, she has inspired many people to be themselves and not to give a damn to what people say. Due to this, it’s no brainer that she managed to become one of the most popular female rap stars in the U.S. and build a large, loyal fanbase in such a short amount of time.
      Every music she puts out has always been greatly welcomed by many and often became a trending topic on social media. Take her biggest hit, “Anaconda”, as an example. Its music video helped her become the first female rapper to have her music video surpassed 900 million views on YouTube with a lot of people attempting to do a parody of the iconic visuals.
      Another example is her latest single, “Yikes”. Considering that the song marked her first song since she surprisingly announced her retirement, the hype leading up to its release was so big it trended on social media. It debuted at No. 23 on Billboard’s Hot 100 and at the summit of the Digital Songs component chart with 20,000 digital downloads.
      Besides its great commercial performance, “Yikes” was well received by music critics. Complex listed the song among the best new music of the week, saying it’s nice to see “Nicki’s still got it.” The music publication also called the song a “cocky record that appears to target the ‘clowns’ on social media.”
      However, “Yikes” is not a single off her new album. Nicki recently revealed that she would release the lead single off her upcoming album, which seemingly will find her taking on another alter-ego. During a short Q&A session with her fans on Twitter, the “Bang Bang” rapper described the new album as “Queen TF Sleeze.”

      Justin Bieber Makes Surprise Performance at Kanye West's Sunday Service

      WENN/Instar/Avalon

      The ‘Yummy’ hitmaker joins the husband of Kim Kardashian and sings Marvin Sapp’s emotional ballad ‘Never Would Have Made It’ during the latest Sunday Service in Los Angeles.
      Feb 24, 2020
      AceShowbiz – Justin Bieber has made Kanye West’s latest Sunday service a memorable one. The “Yummy” hitmaker attended the “Stronger” rapper’s spiritual gathering in Los Angeles on Sunday, February 23, and treated the attendees to a surprise performance.
      The husband of Hailey Baldwin shared a clip of him covering Marvin Sapp’s emotional ballad “Never Would Have Made It” via an Instagram post. Wearing a red hoodie, he serenaded the crowds, “I’m stronger, I’m wiser, I’m better, much better. When I look back over all you brought me through, I can see that you were the one I held on to.”
      The “What Do You Mean?” hitmaker was not the only one stealing the spotlight at the event. Rapper Nas delivered a rendition of “Everything” from his eleventh studio album “NASIR”. Another spitter Roddy Ricch also showed up to perform “The Box” from his 2019’s “Please Excuse Me for Being Antisocial” album and “Ballin” from his “Perfect Ten” LP.
      West himself took the stage to sing his Christian hip hop songs, “Jesus is King” and “Selah”. For the later song, he was joined onstage by his eldest child with Kim Kardashian, North, who was among the choir. The 6-year-old girl could also be seen in her mother’s Instagram Story singing and dancing to “Hallelujah” along with the other children.
      On his participation at the Sunday service, Bieber has previously expressed his interest to perform in it. Back in July 2019, he reportedly said “yeah” when asked about it after attending a church conference in Los Angeles with wife Baldwin.
      The musician, who is a regular at Los Angeles’ Hillsong Church, had performed the exact same gospel song at Churchome in Los Angeles in August 2019. At the time, he upload a video in social media and wrote a lengthy message about his belief in God. “God is pulling me through a hard season. Having trust in Jesus at your worst times is the absolute hardest,” he said.
      “But he is faithful to complete what he started. I also want to thank my wife for being such a huge support in my life through this season.. it says in the bible count it ALL JOY when you face trials of various kinds,” the Canadian singer continued. “Sounds insane considering when u face trials u feel terrible.”

      “But if we are grateful and worship god for what we do have in that season there is so much power in that… whatever pain you are going through just keep telling yourself THIS WONT LAST! Love you guys we in this together.”

      Justin Bieber Makes Billboard 200 History With 'Changes'

      by

      The Canadian superstar becomes the youngest solo artist to achieve seven No. 1 albums on the weekly chart after his latest album ‘Changes’ arrives atop the chart.
      Feb 24, 2020
      AceShowbiz – Justin Bieber now has seven No. 1 albums on Billboard 200. His latest album “Changes” arrives atop this week’s chart after racking up 231,000 equivalent album units in the week ending February 20, according to Nielsen Music/MRC Data. Of its first-week sum, 126,000 were in album sales.
      Due to this, Justin has become the youngest solo artist to achieve seven No. 1 albums on the chart. The title was previously held by Elvis Presley, who logged his seventh leader of the chart when he was 26 years old. Furthermore, “Changes” marks the third-largest week of 2020 for an album after Eminem’s new album “Music to Be Murdered By” and Halsey’s “Manic”.
      Following Justin’s “Changes” is another new release. A Boogie Wit da Hoodie’s “Artist 2.0” debuts at No. 2 with 111,000 equivalent album units. It additionally becomes the most-streamed album of the week due to its heavy streaming activity. Of the starting sum, 106,000 were in SEA units. The No. 3 spot in this week’s chart is also occupied by a newcomer, Tame Impala’s “The Slow Rush”. Racking up 110,000 units, it marks the band’s highest-charting album ever.
      Last week’s chart-topper, Roddy Ricch’s “Please Excuse Me for Being Antisocial” has to give up its top spot to No. 4 with 70,000 units, while Monsta X makes their Billboard 200 debut with “All About Luv” that debuts at No. 5. In its first week, the album sold 50,000 units.
      Post Malone’s “Hollywood’s Bleeding” falls to No. 6 with 50,000 units, followed by Billie Eilish’s “When We All Fall Asleep, Where Do We Go?” that dips to No. 7 with 44,000 units. Late rap star Pop Smoke’s “Meet the Woo, V.2”, on the other hand, fails to climb the chart even though its sales see an increase following his death. Racking up 40,000 units, it descends to No. 8.
      Rounding out the top ten for this week’s chart are Eminem’s “Music to Be Murdered By” that slips to No. 9 with 39,000 and Halsey’s “Manic”. The latter effort falls to No. 10 with 31,000 units.
      “Changes” – Justin Bieber (231,000 units)
      “Artist 2.0” – A Boogie Wit da Hoodie (111,000 units)
      “The Slow Rush” – Tame Impala (110,000 units)
      “Please Excuse Me for Being Antisocial” – Roddy Ricch (70,000 units)
      “All About Luv” – Monsta X (50,000 units)
      “Hollywood’s Bleeding” – Post Malone (50,000 units)
      “When We All Fall Asleep, Where Do We Go” – Billie Eilish (44,000 units)
      “Meet the Woo, V.2” – Pop Smoke (40,000 units)
