The Rolling Stones Face Huge Fine

The Rolling Stones are facing a $320,000 fine because their gig at London's O2 on Sunday was 35 minutes too long.

The veteran rockers - made up of Mick Jagger, Ronnie Wood, Keith Richards and Charlie Watts - were playing the first of their historic 50 and Counting shows and were meant to finish at 10:30pm. However, they defied local council rules and thrilled the 20,000-strong crowd by continuing to play encores until 11:05pm, meaning they will be given a huge fine.

"It means a big fine - but the guys just do their thing. There wasn't a janitor standing there, jangling his keys, saying. 'I want to go home,'" their agent Bernard Doherty told The Sun.

VIDEO: Whitney Houston Gives Another Shaky Performance

(NOTE: Don’t try watching the video, just close your eyes and listen.)

Fans walked out of Whitney Houston‘s concert at London’s O2 arena last night because of her poor performance.

The singer’s Nothing But Love tour has been beset with problems since she came to Europe, and last night she admitted her voice wasn’t in the best condition as she failed to hit high notes and abandoned her song “The Greatest Love of All” halfway through.

After a shaky rendition of her most famous song “I Will Always Love You,” Whitney said of her voice: “She don’t want to come, my soprano friend. Sometimes the old girl sings, but not tonight. I want to do it, but she doesn’t want to. She’s getting a little - temperamental, even.”

Michael Jackson to Perform 50 Sold Out London Shows

For at least 50 nights in the upcoming year, Michael Jackson will be seen in public without his hospital mask.

Just last week, the singer announced he would be hitting the stage once again for 10 shows at England’s O2 Arena. Days later, 40 additional dates were added.

Within a short period of time, every single ticket for Jackson’s 50 concerts were snatched up. Approximately 750,000 were sold today at a rate of 11 per second. In total, over 1 million seats were bought since an earlier presale.

Michael, who has not done a full concert since 2001, claims these perfomances will be his last in London. The first half of his run begins July 9 and goes through September. The gigs then resume next January with the finale on February 24.
