Posted by Andru Edwards Categories: Concerts / Tours, Reunions, Pop, Rock,
Fleetwood Mac will embark on their reunion tour in April 2013. The "Rumors" hitmakers - featuring Mick Fleetwood, John McVie, Lindsey Buckingham and Stevie Nicks - are planning to begin rehearsals for their first live shows since 2009 in February, and will go out on the road a few months later.
"We go into rehearsals somewhere around the end of February. So... if everything goes to plan, we should probably be out [on the road] by end of April [or] May, I would think," Stevie said.

No Doubt never intended their break to be as long as it was.
The "Hey Baby" hitmakers - made up of Gwen Stefani, Tony Kanal, Adrian Young and Tom Dumont - have just released their first new album for 11 years, Push and Shove, and they admit when they first decided to go on hiatus in 2004 they never realized it would take so many years to get back together.
During an appearance on UK TV show This Morning, Gwen said, "We actually never were apart [as friends], I mean, we always planned to do another record."
Adrian revealed, "There was a pause. I mean we had talked about making another record, but we just didn't know how long it was going to take in between... What people don't really realize is that we saw each other quite often, but we all started having families. So there were a few years off and then we got back together and worked on the record."

Morrissey Denies The Smiths Reunion

The Smiths are "never, ever going to reunite."
Morrissey's spokesperson has categorically denied rumors of a reunion for the "How Soon Is Now?" hitmakers and has hinted at tension between the group's members.
"The Smiths are never, ever, ever, ever, ever, ever, ever, ever going to reunite - ever," the singer's representative told Rolling Stone.
When probed as to why, he replied, "You'd have to ask Morrissey that. There's got to be a story there, and maybe one day it will be told."
The iconic British band formed in 1982 and split five years later, with frontman Morrissey going on to enjoy a successful solo career. The group's reunion was said to be a "done deal," but guitarist Johnny Marr's manager has also come forward to shoot down the rumors. "It isn't happening. We are fully focused on preparing Johnny's new album for release and booking shows for 2013," he commented.

John Travolta and Olivia Newton-John’s Christmas Album

John Travolta and Olivia Newton-John releasing a Christmas album.
The former co-stars are in talks of recording the album - which will feature a follow-up to their famous Grease! track "You're The One That I Want" titled "I Think You Might Like It" - and plan to give it an "intimate" feel.
"My desire was to make this Christmas an intimate album, not something too ostentatious or showy. I wanted people to be able to play it around the house or in the car during the holidays, and make us part of your celebration," John, 58, said.
Olivia, 64, also enjoyed the experience of being back in the studio with her on-screen sweetheart as she feels the pair - who played lovers Sandy and Danny in the hit movie - have bonded since filming together back in 1978: "John and I have always connected. That's never gone away. When we're together, we have a good laugh and feel bonded to one another. We've been through some amazing experiences together."

Oasis will never reunite because they have nothing to achieve. The group split in August 2009 due to the feud between brothers Liam and Noel Gallagher and the guitarist thinks there is no point in them getting back together because they could never be bigger than they were at their peak.
"I get asked on a daily basis about a reunion and I say to people, 'To achieve what?' I can understand The Stone Roses because they're bigger now than they ever were. We couldn't be bigger than we were because we were the biggest thing that ever was. What do we do - three nights at [venues] Wembley? Three nights at Heaton Park? Knebworth? We already did it all. Do it again? What's the point?" Noel said.
Noel believes it is more important that Beady Eye - the band formed by Liam and the remaining members of Oasis - should work on living up to the claims they made about their music when they first got together. "They've got things to do, Beady Eye. They've got a lot of graft to do since their singer proclaimed them to be the greatest band in the f***ing world. They need to get a move on with that. I've got no desire to get into a reunion. Not even for starving children," he added.

Spice Girls Don’t Argue Anymore
Posted by Andru Edwards Categories: Artist News, Gossip, Reunions, Pop,
The Spice Girls have learned to sort out their problems like "grown-ups."
The "2 Become 1" girl band - made up of Victoria Beckham, Geri Halliwell, Melanie C, Emma Bunton and Mel B - recently reunited for a one-off performance at the closing ceremony of the London 2012 Olympics and Melanie C says she's glad they no longer argue over petty things: "We've all gone on to have happy, successful lives, we've had our bumps along the way, and of course there's friction at times, because all of us are strong, independent women with opinions. But we've gone through such a lot together and we're all mums now, so disagreements get sorted out like grown-ups."

Gwen Stefani Wasn’t Serious About Going Solo

Gwen Stefani's solo career was "never meant to be taken seriously."
The singer has reunited with her original band, No Doubt, for their new album, Push and Shove and despite having sold millions of copies of her two solo records, her heart always lay with her original band.
"It just feels so much more natural being back in this mode. The solo records allowed me to indulge my girly side but it was never meant to be taken seriously. It was just like an art project that kept going longer than I expected. The group never ended - we always knew we'd come back to make this album."
Gwen, 42, also said her rocker husband, Gavin Rossdale from Bush doesn't listen to her ska-pop group - which also includes Tony Kanal, Adrian Young and Tom Dumont - as he doesn't like their style of music: "Oh, he's never been a fan of what we do. He's more into dark, indie stuff. But I'm not saying he doesn't think I'm amazing."

Mel C Hints Spice Girls Could Perform Again
Posted by Andru Edwards Categories: Concerts / Tours, Gossip, Performances, Reunions, Pop,
Mel C has hinted the Spice Girls could perform together again.
The five girls - Mel, Geri Halliwell, Victoria Beckham, Mel B and Emma Bunton - reunited to appear at the London 2012 Olympics closing ceremony and although it was perceived to be a one-off, the 38-year-old singer isn't so sure.
"It was amazing. We always think, 'That's it, we'll never do anything together again.' But 'never say never' is one of our mottos!" she said.
Mel is still shocked that people are still interested in the group 16 years after they released their debut single "Wannabe." She mused, "People are still intrigued by us but, at the end of the day, we're just five normal girls - even Victoria!"
Mel - who has just released her sixth solo album Stages - loves seeing the girls and she considers the other four members her best friends: "I love them dearly. We're older now and have a lot more respect for each other. We're also appreciative of each other because we know that, without one another, we wouldn't be where we are today."
