Metallica are one of those bands I have never seen live. They were just too damn famous by the time I got in to them so that tickets for their concerts always sell out quickly, and are always very pricey. What’s more, because they are American, we don’t get to see them as often as […]

Throughout all of the troubles Amy Winehouse has had, and they’ve been plenty, I have always tried to see past the drugs, drink, and general wrongdoing in her private life because of the quality of her singing. Unfortunately, even my faith in that part of her life has now been shaken.
This weekend saw The V […]

I remember a time not so long ago when there was such a dearth of British female singers that Annie Lennox was almost guaranteed a Brit award every year. Now times have changed somewhat, and not only do we have Amy Winehouse doing her thing (drugs, booze, music, more drugs and booze), we have people […]

We knew it was going to happen, but now that it has, it’s kind of sad. The Police announced back in May that their last date on this current tour was going to be their final gig ever, and so it has come to pass. They played Madison Square Gardens last night, and that it […]

Stereophonics have always been a favourite of mine, although the amount of love I have for them has varied with each album and change of personnel. They started off brilliantly with Word Gets Around and Performance and Cocktails, both classic albums full of hits straddling the rock and pop genres superbly.
Then came that dodgy period […]

Ever since legendary British rockers Led Zeppelin reformed for a one-off show at the London 02 Arena in support of the Ahmet Ertegun Foundation last year, there have been calls for a full world tour - a kind of final big blow out before the band all start popping their clogs.
The rumours have come thick […]

These days, the use of the F word (no, not Gordon Ramsay’s show, although he’s a good example) on television is as common as anything, with movies and programmes regularly being littered with them. But in the 1970s, things were slightly different, and swear words weren’t something you ever heard on the goggle box.
Which is […]

It must be Sunday today, and the reason I know that is because there’s another round of Amy Winehouse stories in the press. It’s like a weekly habit now for the newspapers to report the latest rumours, talk to her friends and family, and generally report on the state of her health and well-being. What’s […]

Glastonbury 2008 was a bit of a mixed bag - with poor ticket sales meaning there were still places for the festival available on the day it started, but some outstanding performances from artists such as Amy Winehouse, Editors, and The Verve ultimately saving the day. The weather was also okay after an initial downpour.

Being the offspring of a famous celebrity is a double-edged sword: it can help you forge your own career in the world of entertainment purely by people knowing your name, or it can make you subject to unfair comparisons, and accusations of getting an unfair advantage.
A high percentage of celebrities offspring choose to follow their […]
