Tupac Skakur Closes Coachella Festival
Posted by Andru Edwards Categories: Concerts / Tours, Performances, Hip-Hop & Rap,
Tupac Shakur helped close the Coachella festival last Sunday - 16 years after his death.
The rapper - who was shot dead in a gang killing in 1996 - appeared on stage as a hologram to perform with Snoop Dogg and Dr. Dre at the annual festival in California.
He gave a spooky rendition of "Hail Mary" before duetting with Snoop on "Ain't Nothin' Like A Gangsta Party," before leaving the festivalgoers with the line, "Coachella, I wanna say thank you for all the love over the years."
The Tupac hologram drew mixed reactions from fans, with one saying it was "wrong on so many levels."
Another person, however, wrote on Twitter, "This is dope," while someone else added, "I told y'all Tupac wasn't dead! (sic)"

Green Day Tributes Amy Winehouse
Posted by Andru Edwards Categories: Artist News, Concerts / Tours, Performances, Pop, Rock,
Green Day have unveiled a tribute to late singer Amy Winehouse. The American Idiot rockers debuted the new track - which makes references to the "Rehab" hitmaker's troubled life up to her unexpected death on July 23 - at a secret show at the Tiki Bar in Costa Mesa, California, on Thursday.
According to lyrics posted on the band's official website, the opening lines are, "Amy, is your heart singing out of tune/ Are your eyes just singing the blues/ Dirty records from another time/ Some blood stains on your shoes."
The final part of the track laments Amy's premature death at the age of 27, as well as the drug and alcohol addictions which had plagued the star throughout since 2006: "You're too young for the golden age/ 'Cause the record bin's been replaced/ 27 gone without a trace/ And you walked away from your drink."
Green Day are the latest artists to pay tribute to Amy Winehouse, after U2, M.I.A., Coldplay and Dionne Bromfield have all dedicated tracks or dedicated parts of their live shows to the star.

"It is with overwhelming sadness that we inform our friends and fans that at 7pm tonight, Saturday, June 18, our beloved friend and bandmate, Clarence Clemons passed away. The cause was complications from his stroke of last Sunday, June 12. Clarence lived a wonderful life. He carried within him a love of people that made them love him. He loved the saxophone, loved our fans and gave everything he had every night he stepped on stage. His loss is immeasurable and we are honored and thankful to have known him and had the opportunity to stand beside him for nearly 40 years," Bruce said in a statement on his website.

Posted by K.C. Morgan Categories: Music, Prime Time, FOX, Video,
Mark Salling, who plays Mohawk-sporting Puck on Glee, created this tuneful tribute to the series.
The show celebrated its winter finale last week, and will not return to FOX until spring. If all the cast members create music videos during their down time, maybe the hiatus won’t be as bad as we thought.

VIDEO: Diane Sawyer Says Goodbye to GMA
Posted by Veronica Santiago Categories: ABC, News, Video,
After nearly 11 years of waking up at ungodly hours, Diane Sawyer said goodbye to the viewers of Good Morning America this morning.
Sawyer’s final day on the job came with a number of tributes - some funny, some more emotional - and a recap of her memorable stories. Meanwhile, Chris Cuomo, who is leaving the program to cohost 20/20, handed over his newsreader reins to Juju Chang and watched George Stephanopoulos introduce himself as the new coanchor.
“I’m going to take the advice of that immortal philosopher Dr. Seuss, who said, ‘Don’t cry because it happened, smile because it happened,’” Diane said. “And this morning I am beaming at all of you. My heart is smiling and the privilege of sharing my mornings with all of you has been more than I can say.”
You can watch the late night comedians say goodbye to the “queen of morning television” after the jump.

Janet Jackson Broke Down Before VMA Performance
Posted by Andru Edwards Categories: Music, Television, Meltdowns,
Janet Jackson said the realization of her brother Michael’s passing only hit her three months after his death.
The “Make Me” singer said she had avoided everything that could remind her of her brother after he suddenly passed away in June, until she was about to perform at the MTV Video Music Awards in September, when she saw a huge picture in tribute to him.
Janet, 43, said, “It hit me before I was about to do the performance, and it hit me when we were in rehearsal. There was a huge image of him on this screen, and I started to cry. I had to step away.”
She also said that she is continuing to come to terms with the singer’s death, of acute intoxication by the anesthetic Propofol, but that she feels in future things will get easier.
She added, “You know, a day doesn’t go by where you don’t think about him. It’s always there, in every sense. “But it will get better. It’s not easy, but I know with time it will get easier. But it will never be easy. It’s my brother.”

Posted by Andru Edwards Categories: Music, Kind Acts, Rumors,
The Michael Jackson tribute show stage will feature a giant crown.
A host of international stars will pay tribute to the late star, who was known as the King of Pop, by performing on a specially designed stage dominated by a gold crown at the Schonbrunn Palace in Vienna, Austria, on September 26.
Georg Kindel, who is organizer and chief executive of the concert, said, “The stage will be 50 meters wide with a depth of 25 meters. It has really huge dimensions. It will have a giant glass roof which will be dominated by a giant crown. There will also be a large crown on the stage floor. It will have the feel of a baroque theater with boxes on the side and claret curtains. It will also have a large translucent curtain at the back.”

Jacksons Reunite at Tribute

The Jacksons will reunite at the Michael Jackson tribute concert… and possibly perform?
Jermaine Jackson, who shot to fame in The Jackson 5 alongside his brothers Jackie, Tito, Marlon and Michael, has refused to rule out joining his musical family on stage at the show he is planning in Vienna, Austria, on September 26.
When asked if he plans to perform with his siblings, Jermaine said, “That could be one of the surprises. Being a producer I wanted to put a show together because it is a family thing. My family is very busy, Janet is doing something right now. I have invited all of them, so, you never know—once the music hits them they will probably want to come up and perform and do what they know how to do. But definitely I have committed myself to performing.”
Jermaine revealed he has invited his mother Katherine Jackson to the event, along with Michael’s three children—Prince Michael I, 12, Paris, 11, and seven-year-old Prince Michael II, also known as “Blanket.”
“I spoke to my mother and I said I wanted to do something for the fans in Europe. She has supported this from the very start.”
Peter Andre to Stage Jackson Tribute
Posted by Andru Edwards Categories: Music, Kind Acts,
Australian singer-songwriter Peter Andre is in talks to stage a Michael Jackson tribute concert.
The “Behind Closed Doors” singer has been in “regular contact” with Michael’s sister La Toya and is hoping to meet her next week to “finalize” their plans for a show.
The 36-year-old star revealed in New! magazine:
“Over the last few weeks I have been in regular contact with La Toya Jackson about some kind of tribute for her brother, Michael. Everyone who knows me knows how much I idolized Michael and how much his music influenced me, so I feel really honored to be part of this. There isn’t anything quite set in stone yet but we have four or five ideas, including a tribute concert or a TV special. La Toya is flying to the UK next week, so we are going to meet up and hopefully put our ideas into action. La Toya is one of the few Jacksons I haven’t met yet, so I am really looking forward to spending some time with her.”
