| REM begin recording new album REM have begun recording their new album in Vancouver. As previously reported, the band have hired Bloc Party and Snow Patrol producer Jacknife Lee to work with them on the follow-up to 2004's 'Around The Sun'. According to fansite murmurs.com, the band plan to spend a few weeks in the Canadian city before heading to Dublin to work on the rest of the record. While in the Irish capital, REM will play five sold-out 'working rehearsal' dates at the Olympia Theatre on June 30 and July 1, 3, 4 and 5. Frontman Michael Stipe said of the shows: "Returning to Dublin for our live rehearsal this summer provides the great start we need for our next albums work. I intend to hit the ground running." Bassist Mike Mills added: "I've seen so many great shows at the Olympia, from The Waterboys to Lou Reed, and am thrilled to play at this wonderful venue, and in front of some of the best fans in the world, too." There is no release date for the record as yet, but it is thought that a late 2007 release is likely. |
Rihanna stays on top of UK singles chart Rihanna's 'Umbrella' has stayed at the top of the UK singles chart tonight despite not being released physically until tomorrow (May 28). The track has bettered Gnarls Barkley's 'Crazy', which went Number One with just downloads one week before release last year. However, that was before chart rules were changed to allow all online releases to count towards the main countdown. The Top Ten is: 1. Rihanna ft Jay-Z - 'Umbrella' 2. Maroon 5 - 'Makes Me Wonder' 3. Beyonce & Shakira - 'Beautiful Liar' 4. Hellogoodbye - 'Here (In Your Arms)' 5. Gym Class Heroes - 'Cupid's Chokehold' 6. Akon - 'Don't Matter' 7. Snow Patrol - 'Signal Fire' 8. Timbaland/Furtado/Timberlake - 'Give It To Me' 9. Mutya Buena - 'Real Girl' 10. Booty Luv - 'Shine' In the album chart, Maroon 5 made up for just missing out in the singles - their new LP 'It Won't Be Soon Before Long' has knocked Linkin Park's new effort 'Minutes To Midnight' from the summit. Other notable new entries include Sophie Ellis-Bextor at Seven with 'Trip The Light Fantastic', Ozzy Osbourne at Eight with 'Black Rain' and The Cribs at 13 with 'Men's Needs, Women's Needs, Whatever'. |
Rockers queue up to help out Manchester music legend Rock musicians are helping pay for Manchester music legend Tony Wilson's ?3,500-a-month cancer treatment after the Manchester NHS Primary Care Trust refused to fund it. The Factory Records boss, who famously discovered Joy Division and Happy Mondays, is taking controversial new drug Sutent after chemotherapy failed to beat the cancer diagnosed last year. Doctors at the Christie Hospital in Manchester recommended the drug - which has doubled the life expectancy of some patients in trials - but the Manchester trust has refused to pay on the grounds that there is not enough "demonstrable evidence to support the use of this drug in treating kidney cancer". Wilson - who says he may appeal the decision - said: "When they said I would have to pay ?3,500 for the drugs each month, I thought 'Where am I going to find the money?' I'm the one person in this industry who famously has never made any money. "I used to say some people make money and some make history - which is very funny until you find you can't afford to keep yourself alive." Nathan McGough, former manager of Happy Mondays, set up a fund teamed up with Elliott Rashman, the Mondays' present manager, after they heard of his plight and quickly collected enough money to fund his treatment for the next five months. "Tony is such a highly respected figure in the entertainment industry we have built up a substantial fund," said McGough. Everyone I asked - businesses as well as individuals - were very quick to offer help. These people don't want thanks or recognition, they just wanted to help." |
