    The Mick Jagger-fronted rock band have made history in U.K. chart as the first group to score a number one album in six different decades following ‘Goats Head Soup’ reissue.
    Sep 13, 2020
    AceShowbiz – The Rolling Stones have set a new U.K. chart record after narrowly edging out singer Declan McKenna to snag their 13th number one album.
    The reissue of the ageing rockers’ 1973 release “Goats Head Soup” took first place by just over 800 sales units, leaving McKenna to settle for second place with “Zeros”.
    The achievement makes the Stones the first group in Official Chart history to score a number one album in six different decades, while the stars are now level with Elvis Presley and Robbie Williams in total chart-toppers.
    Only The Beatles have more, with a current tally of 17.
    Meanwhile, Cardi B and Megan Thee Stallion are keeping things sexy in the U.K. singles chart, holding on to pole position for a second consecutive week as they lead an all-rap top three.
    Hip-hop newcomer 24kGoldn climbs to two with “Mood”, featuring Iann Dior, and British MC Headie One takes “Ain’t It Different” with AJ Tracey and Stormzy to number three.

      Ronnie Wood Angry as Rolling Stones Album and Tour Get Delayed Due to Covid-19

      The guitarist opens up about his frustrations as the ongoing coronavirus pandemic forced his band to put on hold their projects including a new studio album and tour.
      Aug 22, 2020
      AceShowbiz – Ronnie Wood is furious the Covid-19 pandemic is delaying a new Rolling Stones album and tour.
      The rock legends were forced to postpone their “No Filter” tour in March (20), and scale back work on a new album – only being able to complete a single, “Living in a Ghost Town”, remotely from 2019 sessions.
      Raging about the pandemic, and governments’ failures to take control, he tells British newspaper The Times that he doesn’t understand why live music has been hard hit by regulations.
      “This Covid is not a joke,” he fumes. “It’s really p**sing me off. Nobody seems to know about it, nobody seems to be its boss, everyone seems lost. You could go to a restaurant and it was packed and yet you weren’t allowed to go to a concert. What’s that about? I’ve lost faith in not having any direction from people who should know. So yes, I’m impatient to get going.”
      Discussing how the pandemic has delayed the album, he adds, “It’s just on the front burner, it was almost there when lockdown happened,” going on to say that the group miss being together in the studio and touring as they do not see much of each other socially.
      “We are a touring band. And we miss it. We miss being together as a band,” he explains. “But right now, until we can get going again, we are staying in contact and just hanging in there doing our own things.”
      However, he does put the Stones’ longevity down to rationing their time together.
      “We don’t try to overexamine too much of the magic that goes on. We never see a lot of each other between tours,” the 73-year-old reveals. “We enjoy getting together to rehearse when it happens, but we don’t saturate – that’s probably why we get on. We don’t overexamine the magic of our relationship.”

      Jul 11, 2020
      AceShowbiz – The Rolling Stones have served up a forgotten treat to keep fans entertained during the ongoing coronavirus lockdown – a track recorded almost 50 years ago.
      The band has released “Criss Cross”, which they wrote and recorded in the early 1970s while making the “Goats Head Soup” album, but never shared with their devotees.
      The track will appear on a new re-issue of the album, alongside another unearthed song titled “Scarlet”, featuring Led Zeppelin star Jimmy Page.

      “Criss Cross” follows the success of the band’s lockdown anthem “Living in a Ghost Town”, which was released in April (20).

      Ed Sheeran Joins Rolling Stones to Demand Government Aid Dying Music Industry Amid Pandemic

      by

      WENN

      The ‘Shape of You’ hitmaker, along with the likes of Mick Jagger and co, Paul McCartney, and Coldplay, is calling on the U.K. government to help revive the ‘crippled’ music industry.
      Jul 3, 2020
      AceShowbiz – Ed Sheeran, Lewis Capaldi, and Rita Ora are among the stars calling on the U.K. government to assist those working in the live music industry in the wake of the coronavirus crisis.
      More than 1,500 artists, including Rod Stewart, Paul McCartney, The Rolling Stones, Coldplay, Dua Lipa, Sam Smith, and Liam Gallagher have signed a joint letter, warning the future is “bleak” for hundreds of thousands of workers in the sector.
      Addressed to Culture Secretary Oliver Dowden appealing for sector specific support, the note says, “U.K. live music has been one of the U.K.’s biggest social, cultural, and economic successes of the past decade.”
      “But, with no end to social distancing in sight or financial support from government yet agreed, the future for concerts and festivals and the hundreds of thousands of people who work in them looks bleak,” it continues. “Until these businesses can operate again, which is likely to be 2021 at the earliest, government support will be crucial to prevent mass insolvencies and the end of this world-leading industry.”
      The letter calls for a “clear, conditional timeline” for reopening venues without social distancing, a “comprehensive business and employment support package” and access to finance, plus full VAT exemption on ticket sales.
      “Amazing gigs don’t happen without an amazing team behind the stage, but they’ll all be out of jobs unless we can get back out there doing what we love,” said Liam Gallagher on how Covid-19 has affected the industry.
      Dua Lipa added, “It’s incredibly important for artists like myself to speak up and support the live music industry in the U.K.”
      To coincide with the initiative, artists have pledged to post films and photos of their last live gig under the banner #LetTheMusicPlay. Fans will also be encouraged to post about the last gig they went to in a mass show of support for the U.K.’s live music industry during the shutdown.

      The Rolling Stones' Concert Film 'Havana Moon' to Get Drive-In Release

      by

      WENN

      Director Paul Dugdale hopes that the movie documenting the rock band’s March 2016 show in Havana, Cuba will bring elation and joy to cinemagoers amid the coronavirus pandemic.
      Jul 1, 2020
      AceShowbiz – The Rolling Stones’ concert movie “The Rolling Stones: Havana Moon” is heading back to the big screen as a drive-in delight.
      The band’s 2016 set, filmed in Havana, Cuba, hit cinemas for one night only before its on-demand release on cable network Starz in the U.S., and now director Paul Dugdale’s film is available to fans again – from the comfort and safety of their cars.
      The concert film, which documents the Stones’ March 2016 show at the Ciudad Deportiva de la Habana sports complex, will be screening across the U.S. and Canada beginning on 10 July.
      “I’m so thrilled that ‘Havana Moon’ has found its way back onto the big screen, particularly during such a strange time for live music,” Dugdale said. “The Rolling Stones concert was the first of its kind in Havana, and I hope the unprecedented absence of live music during the COVID-19 crisis means this film brings almost as much elation and joy to those watching it now… as it did the people of Havana back on that special night. Turn it up loud!”

      Rolling Stones Plan Lawsuit as Donald Trump Keeps Playing Their Songs at His Campaign

      by

      WENN

      Mick Jagger and his bandmates threaten to launch legal action as the President ignores their cease-and-desist letter to block him from using any of their music.
      Jun 29, 2020
      AceShowbiz – The Rolling Stones are taking “further steps” to prevent Donald Trump from using their music at his Presidential campaign rallies.
      The U.S. leader has ignored the previous cease-and-desist letters from the rockers, over the use of songs by the group, led by Mick Jagger, and their representative has issued a statement, insisting, “This could be the last time Trump uses any Jagger/ Richards songs on his campaigns.”
      In the announcement on Saturday, June 27, 2020, the band stated that their legal team and performing rights organisation BMI sent another warning to Trump’s campaign that, if the president continued to use the band’s music, he could face a lawsuit.
      “The BMI have notified the Trump campaign on behalf of the Stones that the unauthorised use of their songs will constitute a breach of its licensing agreement,” the Rolling Stones’ rep added.
      “If Donald Trump disregards the exclusion and persists then he would face a lawsuit for breaking the embargo and playing music that has not been licensed.”
      Despite previous warnings during the 2016 presidential campaign, Trump’s team still played the Rolling Stones’ “You Can’t Always Get What You Want” at the president’s rally in Tulsa, Oklahoma on June 20.
      According to the BMI, “The Trump campaign has a Political Entities License which authorises the public performance of more than 15 million musical works in BMI’s repertoire wherever campaign events occur.”
      However, they told Deadline there’s a provision which, “allows BMI to exclude musical works from the license if a songwriter or publisher objects to its use by a campaign,” which the Rolling Stones plan to exercise.
      R.E.M., Pharrell Williams, Rihanna, Neil Young, Guns N’ Roses, and the estate of Tom Petty are among those who have also objected to Trump’s use of their music.
