| Amy Winehouse cancels V Festival appearance Amy Winehouse has pulled out of this weekend's V Festival (August 18 and 19). Her record label issued a statement today (August 16) explaining that she will not play the festival and further touring committments are also in doubt. "Amy Winehouse is putting all her touring commitments on hold until further notice in order to address her health issues," they explained. "Amy will not now be performing at this weekend's V Festival. Her family has requested that the media respect Amy's privacy at this time. There will be no further comment." The news comes after Winehouse was admitted to the Causeway drug rehab centre in Essex on Tuesday (August 14) following a drug overdose last Tuesday (August 7). However, she left the clinic yesterday (August 15). See the NME Office Blog on Amy Winehouse, and leave a comment of your own. |
Arctic Monkeys storm Ibiza Rocks Arctic Monkeys teamed up with allies Reverend And The Makers for an intimate show in Ibiza last night (September 1). Sheffield's indie superstars played with close friend Jon McLure's band for the first time in over a year at the latest Ibiza Rocks with Sony Ericsson shows at the town's Bar M. Playing their most intimate European show in months, the Monkeys played an hour-long, hit-packed set on the Balearic island in front of an audience that included Kaiser Chiefs singer Ricky Wilson, and DJs Norman Cook aka Fatboy Slim and Zane Lowe, who had both been DJing on the island's flagship club Manumission the previous night. The Ibiza Rocks show also gave Alex Turner a chance to reunite with his housemate McLure. Gearing up for the release of their album 'The State Of Things', Reverend And The Makers they ran through a set featuring singles 'Heavyweight Champion Of The World' and 'He Said He Loved Me', alongside an ironically delivered '18-30'. From the DJ booth, Zane Lowe tipped the band to return as headliners when Ibiza Rocks returns next year. Arctic Monkeys played: 'I Bet You Look Good On The Dancefloor' 'Brianstorm' 'Still Take You Home' 'Dancing Shoes' 'From The Ritz To The Rubble' 'Fake Tales Of San Francisco' 'Balaclava' 'Old Yellow Bricks' 'Flourescent Adolescent' 'This House Is A Circus' 'Teddy Picker' 'D Is For Dangerous' 'Mardy Bum' 'Do Me A Favour' 'The View From The Afternoon' 'When The Sun Goes Down' 'A Certain Romance' |
