Katy Perry and John Mayer split up because of her upcoming world tour.
The "Dark Horse" singer, 29, was reportedly dumped by the singer-songwriter, 32, because they were arguing a lot and she is "stressed" about her Prismatic concerts, which are scheduled to kick off in Belfast, Northern Ireland in early May and will see her travel across three continents until the end of the year.
"She's stressed about the tour, they've been fighting. It is probably for the best, because she is going to be on tour for forever. Of course this happens all the time, I can't keep track anymore. But for now they are done," a source said.
The duo, who released the romantic duet "Who You Love" in December, first began dating in summer 2012 and had an on/off relationship until things became serious between them last year, after Katy publicly admitted she was "still madly in love with him." A friend predicted they could reunite again, saying, "Not sure how long it will last this time but yes, it is off for now." But a third source said, "They've had rough patches, but this may be for good."

Taylor Swift tries to help her fans tackle bullying.
The 23-year-old star - who was singled out and picked on at school in Pennsylvania - gives her biggest fans the chance to meet after her Red gigs and uses her platform as an artist to help them discuss inclusion issues they may face.
"After the show we pick fans randomly and they're brought backstage into this amazing tent called Club Red. I go in with about 35 to 40 fans and hear what's going on in their lives - whether someone's picking on them at school or if someone had a party and invited every single girl in the class but them. It happened to me, and that's why as an artist, you should try and help people one-on-one."
Taylor - who is on the Oceania leg of her world tour where she will be performing in New Zealand at the end of the month - previously took to the stage with former X Facto' contestant Cher Lloyd and Ellie Goulding during her US performances and she gushed about her time with them: "Ellie [Goulding] is so talented. I thought she was perfect. Cher Lloyd was amazing. It looked like we'd planned all kinds of moves but we were just moving on the same beats."

Kanye West will be joined on tour by Kim Kardashian and their baby. Kim, 32, is expecting the couple's first child in July and while Kanye, 35, has a European tour planned for later this year, he will take his girlfriend and baby on the road with him.
"Yes, it's true. This was always the plan," a source close to the couple said.
Meanwhile, Kim can't wait for the birth of their baby and thinks she is completely prepared for motherhood thanks to the example provided by her mother Kris Jenner and sister Kourtney, who has two children, Mason, three, and Penelope, 10 months, with her boyfriend Scott Disick.
"My mom is a strong and ambitious career woman that despite her busy schedule and the millions of things she has going on, she still manages to put family first and continues to look out for us every day. Motherhood is a gift and I know after watching my mom do it, it's not easy especially when trying to balance a career. I can't wait to follow in her footsteps and make her proud like I am of her. Kourtney, my sister, best friend, and mentor has also taught me so much about motherhood from being the most incredible mom to Mason and Penelope. She is super woman with her ability to effortlessly balance work with taking care of two amazing kids and I am so lucky to have her as my guide and confidant as I too become a mother," she said.

George Michael is seeking treatment for extreme anxiety.
The British singer has been forced to cancel his Australian Symphonica tour dates in November as he has decided to receive professional help for "major anxiety" following his traumatic battle with pneumonia late last year.
The 49-year-old star announced his plans to undergo treatment today after a performance at London's Royal Albert Hall last night.
In a statement, the ex-Wham star said, "I have today announced the cancellation of the shows in Australia which breaks my heart. By way of explanation all I can say at this time is that since last year's illness I have tried in vain to work my way through the trauma that the doctors who saved my life warned me I would experience. They recommended complete rest and the type of post traumatic counselling... Unfortunately I seriously underestimated how difficult this year would be... I was wrong to think I could work my way through the major anxiety that has plagued me since I left Austria last December."
Michael Jackson Needed a ‘Psychiatric Intervention’
Posted by Andru Edwards Categories: Music, Meltdowns, Rumors,
Kenny Ortega - who had known Michael for over 20 years before his death from a Propofol overdose in June 2009 - emailed tour promoters AEG voicing his concerns about the singer's "paranoia, anxiety and obsessive behavior," but was ignored.
In emails obtained by the Los Angeles Times, Kenny wrote to Randy Phillips, the chief executive of concert division AEG Live, "here are strong signs of paranoia, anxiety and obsessive-like behavior. I think the best thing we can do is to get a top Psychiatrist in to evaluate him ASAP. It is like there are two people in there. One [deep inside] trying to hold on to what he was and still can be and not wanting us to quit on him, the other in this weakened and troubled state. I believe we need professional guidance in this matter."

Travis Barker is Still Afraid of Flying After Crash
Posted by Andru Edwards Categories: Music, Features,
The drummer and DJ AM were left in "critical but stable" condition after the accident that killed four passengers, and it still haunts him. Travis admitted that the incident had given him a fear of flying and that is bound to cause issues for the series of concerts which kicked off yesterday.
"This will be the big tour that supports the album in Europe. Mind you, I'm not flying, so it's hard to say what the band could do or what its potential is, because I can't really get everywhere. I'm contemplating getting knocked out and getting on a plane to Australia. I want to overcome that eventually. When I do, I think it's going to be Qantas. They never had a crash, never had a fatality--knock on wood. It's something I want to overcome for me--and my kids are scared to death to fly. I want them to witness me overcome it."

After her shows, the singer likes her hotel rooms to be a home-away-from home and has her own furniture shipped into the suites.
"Madonna requires all furniture be removed from the rooms and replaced with her own pieces that she has shipped in," a source said.
