Posted by Veronica Santiago Categories: Artist News, Concerts / Tours, Videos, Pop,
UPDATE: You can see video of Pink falling off the stage after the jump.
Even if you haven’t attended one of Pink‘s concerts, chances are you’ve already seen a clip of her performing some type of circus act…while singing at the same time.
Although she’s pulled off these stunts numerous times - like at the MTV Video Music Awards and at the Grammys - the risk for an accident is always still there. Unfortunately, that proved to be the case during her concert in Nurnberg, Germany tonight.
In the video above, you can see Pink explaining after the accident why the show has to close early.

U2 Announces New Dates, Records Message
Posted by Veronica Santiago Categories: Artist News, Concerts / Tours, Videos, Rock,
I hope you’re still holding on to those unused U2 concert tickets.
Although Bono underwent emergency back surgery in May, the lead singer has been “rebuilt by German engineering” and is - as seen in the video - back on the road to recovery. This means the band will soon be back on the road and performing in stadiums around the world.
The group will first wrap up the European leg of their summer tour (those dates were unaffected) beginning with the August 6th stop in Turin, Italy. The previously scheduled stops in North America will then kick off in May 2011.
For more information on the new dates, you check out information posted on the band’s website here.

It may take a little bad medicine, but an injured Jon Bon Jovi plans to keep entertaining fans across the country.
Friday night in New Jersey, the 48-year-old somehow managed to tear a calf muscle - ouch! - toward the end of a concert in New Meadowlands Stadium. Despite the obvious pain (he can be seen limping on the stage), the professional vowed to stay on stage until the end.

Musician Vince Neil is finally home sweet home after spending some time overnight in a Nevada jail.
According to police, the Motley Crue singer was arrested at approximately 11:15 Sunday evening for suspicion of DUI. A spokesperson for the Las Vegas Police Department said Vince’s black Lamborghini was pulled over following some sort of accident.
The 49-year-old, who lives in the Las Vegas area, was later let go on $2000 bail. He is expected to appear in court on September 29.
Although it’s not believed there were any injuries related to last night’s detainment, Vince does have a history of drunken driving. Back in 1984, passenger Hanoi Rocks drummer Nicholas “Razzle” Dingley was killed after Neil struck another vehicle head-on.
Vince, who had a BAC of .17 at the time of the crash, later served less than a month in jail and performed 200 hours of community service. He also paid $2.5 million in restitution to the victims and their families.

Christina Aguilera: Autotune is Okay with Me
Posted by Veronica Santiago Categories: Artist News, Gossip, Videos, Pop,
I’m sure at one point, Cher never imagined she would ever use something like Auto-Tune on her vocals - but then she scored a huge hit with 1998’s “Believe.” So should we be so shocked to hear that her Burlesque co-star, Christina Aguilera, is open to implementing the technology as well?
Although Christina clearly has no problem performing vocal gymnastics when she sings, the Grammy winner admits she’s not a total purist anymore.
In this interview with Sirius FM Satellite Radio, Aguilera - who used the tool on her new album for songs like “Elastic Love” - says she “doesn’t get annoyed with the Auto-Tune thing, but only if it’s used in a creative way.”
So what do you think about Auto-Tune? Is there really a “creative way” to use it?
