The Stone Roses are one of the best bands to have ever come out of Britain, but their musical legacy was pitifully small due to only two albums being produced before they split up. Although that was way back in 1996, there have been numerous calls for them to reunite from the public and band […]

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 […]

The Stone Roses remain fresh in people’s minds as one of the seminal bands of the late 80s and early 90s, and a founding member of the much-acclaimed Madchester scene. However, they split up in 1996, and have all gone their own ways, and concentrated on solo projects since.

I think there must be something in the water here in the UK. Something potent that is making old groups decide to reunite and start plying their trade again. The last few years have seen many such reunions occurring, and there could be more to come.
We’ve already had Led Zeppelin reform for a one-off concert […]

The Police reunited last summer after years of not playing together, or even being civil to one another. This was after they acrimoniously split in 1984 due to arguments. And now they’re doing it again - no not arguing (as far as we know) but splitting up for the second and final time.

Newspaper reports are claiming Lily Allen is currently being treated for depression in a London mental health clinic. Could this be the real reason behind her pulling out of the Isle Of Wight Festival?
Lily has had a bit of a tumultuous few months, suffering a miscarriage of her first baby, and then going through a […]

So much for Sting’s green credentials.. his band The Police have been named as “the dirtiest band in the world” in a survey of live acts by NME magazine.
The Police, who reformed last year after years in the wilderness, topped the poll to find the bands with the best and worst records of eco-friendliness.
Their […]
