Bill-Wyman-rejoins-The-Stones Email this story Printable version

It has been reported that Bill Wyman has gone back to the studio with Mick Jagger, Keith Richards, Ronnie Wood and Charlie Watts to record a tribute song to the 'sixth Stone' Ian Stewart.

Ian Stewart was the Rolling Stones original keyboard player and cofounder who was stood down from the band in 1963 but remained on their road manager until his death from a heart attack at age 47 in 1985. He also contributed keyboards to every Rolling Stones album except 'Beggars Banquet' right up until he died.

According to reports, a tribute album for Stewart, to be titled 'Boogie for Stu', will feature a newly recorded Rolling Stones version of Bob Dylan's 'Watching The River Flow'. This will be the Stones second recorded Bob Dylan cover. They also released 'Like A Rolling Stone' on the 1995 unplugged album 'Stripped'.

Waters posted at his website in November that three of the tracks were recorded with Keith Richards and that Mick Jagger 'played harmonica and sung fantastically on one track'. He had announced earlier in the year that he had laid down sessions featuring Charlie Watts and Ronnie Wood, so it is unclear if the Stones were all together when 'Watching The River Flow' was recorded of if it had been done in parts over time.

Bill Wyman was there at the start of the Rolling Stones in 1962. His last album with the Stones was 1989's 'Steel Wheels' but it wasn't until 1992 until his departure was officially announced.

Ben Waters is a 35-year old boogie woogie piano player. He has performed more than 3000 gigs around the world and a few choice functions such and Mick Jagger's Christmas party where 'Mick sat in for a few songs'.

Carlos-Santana-didnt-mind-that-it-rained-on-his-wedding-day Email this story Printable version

The legendary 'Black Magic Woman' guitarist married drummer Cindy Blackman on the island of Maui in Hawaii on December 19 and said bad weather wasn't going to affect the big day.

The 63-year-old told People.com: 'The weather was kind of iffy, so we said, 'Let's just do it inside', because no matter where we did it, the sun was shining.'

His new wife added: "Rain represents mercy. It couldn't have been more beautiful."

The nuptials between the pair was a spiritual affair watched by 180 guests including musician friends Herbie Hancock and Wayne Shorter, and the ceremony enabled the pair to make good use of the wet weather outside.

Cindy, 51, explained: 'My favourite part of the ceremony was when we washed our hands in a bowl of rainwater. We absolved ourselves of all things past and all things future except the two of us. It felt so clearing to do that.'

The newly married couple also released doves "to release our purity and love into the cosmos.'

Carlos proposed to Cindy ' who rose to fame as a drummer for Lenny Kravitz and has recorded a number of jazz albums under her own name ' during a concert last July.

The singer added: "Cindy is a match with everything that I am, from fire of passion to vulnerability. Everything tastes better when you share it with your soul mate."

Carlos was previously married to Deborah until they split in 2007 after 34 years. The couple have three grown up children together.

The Streets to quit after next album

The-Streets-to-quit-after-next-album Email this story Printable version

British rap innovator Mike Skinner, aka The Streets, says that his forthcoming album will likely be his last.

Skinner spoke to The Guardian about his forthcoming, partially crowd-sourced, fifth album Computers And Blues.

He said that after this album, and a planned run of tour dates, he's giving the game away.

''ve been doing it for 10 years and I've always tried to do something different with each album,' he told The Guardian. 'Some [of my work has] been amazingly received and some of it hasn't been, and I've run out of new avenues.'

Skinner sounds as fatalistic as he has recently on his blog. He admits that since he signed a five album deal, The Streets has been destined by economics as much as creativity.

He also said Computers And Blues doesn't really take a new direction: 't's all the directions I've already been down rehashed into something that's. quite nice on the ears.'

The Girls Aloud singer was "thrilled" when her boyfriend, DJ Tom Crane, surprised her by getting down on one knee during New Year's Eve (31.12.10) celebrations during a romantic break in the Maldives.

A source told The Sun newspaper: "Sarah is absolutely thrilled. She didn't see it coming at all. When he went down on one knee it came as a huge surprise.

"Their relationship has gone from strength to strength since they moved in together. They are inseparable. Tom has shelled out on a big sparkler to let everyone know she's now taken."

Sarah, 29, and Tom ' who have been dating since 2007 ' had discussed marriage in the past, but the blonde beauty was reportedly reluctant to rush into walking down the aisle after witnessing the heartbreak of her bandmate Cheryl Cole, who got divorced from soccer star Ashley Cole last year after four years of marriage.

An insider explained to the Daily Mirror newspaper: "After the fall-out from Cheryl's wedding and divorce, it gave the other girls something to think about ' especially about rushing into anything.

"Sarah's always been very cautious and wanted to make sure it was the right time to say yes."

Tom has been open about marrying Sarah in the past and once revealed that he would like a traditional wedding rather than a glitzy "celebrity" one.

He said: "I know what kind of ring Sarah wants, we've looked on holiday.

"I'm very romantic. I want an old-fashioned English wedding. I want to the top and tails, more subtle than a celebrity wedding."

Wendy James back with Elvis Costello to blow minds

Wendy-James-back-with-Elvis-Costello-to-blow-minds Email this story Printable version

Former Transvision Vamp singer Wendy James is ready to take on 2011 as a solo artist.

Her post-punk hits with Transvision Vamp, 'Baby I Don't Care' and 'I Want Your Love' stamped some angst onto the end of the 80s after a near decade of new romantic pop from the UK.

In 1993, James released 'Now Ain't The Time For Your Tears', a solo record featuring every song written by Elvis Costello. There were also a couple of records under the moniker Racine 1 and Racine 2. However, in late 2010, Wendy released what she is calling her first real solo album 'I Came Here To Blow Minds'.

't's the first really. There was Elvis and me, then I called the next two Racine No1 and Racine No2,' she tells Undercover.fm. 'Although the production technique is the same (I write and produce) this is actually the first one where I came out front and called it like it is . Wendy James'.

For 'I Came Here To Blow Minds', Wendy holed up in a Paris studio and gathered together a tribe of French indie musicians to play with her. She chose musicians who marinated their influences to the sounds of New York and Detroit and acts like the Stooges, Television, the Velvets and Richard Hell and the Voidoids.

'I Came To Blow Minds' was released through Cobraside exclusively to iTunes in October, 2010.

The tracklisting for 'I Came Here To Blow Minds' is:

The Moon Dead In The River
Where Have You Been, So Long?
Don't Shoot ' I Ain't Dillinger
Municipal Blues
New Wave Flowered Up Main Street Acid Baby
Speedball
No Dice
You Tell Me
King Hoodlum
One Evening In A Small Café
These Beggar Memories
You're A Fucking Mess, But You Sure Are Pretty
I Came Here To Blow Minds

The Canadian singer ' who will marry Argentinean beauty Luisana Lopilato in April ' was astonished by the saucy query, much to the shock of his young female supporter, who then explained he had misheard her.

He said: 'Once I had a girl come up to me and she was 17 or 18, and she looked me right in the eye and said, 'I was wondering if your penis gives lessons?'

' looked at her and said, 'Pardon me?' I was speechless. I remember saying to my publicist, 'This girl just asked if my penis gives lessons' and the young girl got very angry with me. She said, 'Not your penis, your pianist.'

'Talk about your ego getting in the way and letting you hear things you want to hear.'

Michael ' who is renowned for his cover versions of songs by legendary artists - also revealed another fan tried to kill him at one of his concerts for 'stealing' music from the original performers.

He told Britain's OK! magazine: ' did a show in Virginia and he put wire in his hands and said I had stolen music from black people and tried to pop my head off. I went into the audience and he swung at me ' I saw the fist and moved and pushed his face back.

'The FBI (Federal Bureau of Investigation) came to pick him up and he kicked the window out of the back of the car to get out to get me again. He wanted me dead.'

Freaky psycho rockers The Flaming Lips plan to release new tracks each month throughout 2011.

Frontman Wayne Coyne spoke to Rolling Stone and revealed that the band will be releasing tracks here and there rather than preparing a full album.

Coyne said, 'The dilemma is whether we're going to release it on vinyl, cereal boxes, or some of it on toys that we make. Sometimes, the music is the simplest part of any of these things.

He also said that they'll be collating music videos during the year which will form a larger movie.

Or to put it in his words, 'We'll be making these little videos that connect in the end to a bigger movie we'll be making next year as well.'

The group will hit the studio in late-January with longtime producer Dave Fridmann and record every month, filming the entire process.

Cheryl Cole sealed her romance with Derek Hough by sharing a public kiss with him on New Year's Eve (31.12.10).

The 'Promise This' singer - who has always refused to confirm whether she is dating dancer Derek despite constantly being linked to him - is currently on a romantic holiday in South Africa with the 'Dancing with the Stars' hunk and decided to prove her love for him by welcoming in 2011 with a passionate embrace.

A source told the Sunday Mirror newspaper: "Cheryl and Derek are together and don't care who knows it. She wanted to spend New Year's Eve with Derek because she sees her future with him. 2010 was the worst year of Cheryl's life. But now she is looking forward to happier times with Derek."

Cheryl - who, last year, divorced soccer player husband Ashley Cole and battled potentially-fatal disease malaria, which she contracted during a trip to Africa with Derek - and Derek flew to Cape Town on Wednesday (29.12.10) and attended the lavish party thrown by American property mogul Preston Haskell.

Sources at the exclusive bash claim the pair couldn't keep their hands off each other, with one saying: "It was so adorable to see Cheryl and Derek and how happy there were. If anyone didn't believe they were a couple, the New Year's Eve party proved they are. They only had eyes for each other and ignored everyone else."

Cheryl, 27, is set to move to Los Angeles this year after reportedly signing a deal to become a judge on the US version of 'The X Factor' and Derek is said to be thrilled as it means they will be spending more time together.

It might not happen in the near future, but the band hope to someday play a zero gravity song to match their many space-themed tracks including 'Neutron Star Collision' and 'Supermassive Black Hole'.

'We've had some discussions about playing in space,' singer Matt Bellamy told The Sun. 'Sometimes very coherent conversations and sometimes very late at night, but it's for real.

''m thinking of approaching Richard Branson to see if we could do it on his spacecraft he's got happening.

'Although we do have a lot of equipment, so I guess we'd have to use pods to carry our stuff and we'd scale back the shows a lot.'

Muse wrap up their world tour in Brazil in April. After that they can start planning their celestial tour, but don't expect it to happen anytime soon.

The 'Glee' actress is delighted with rumours that the 48-year-old Scottish singing sensation ' who shot to fame after competing on UK TV programme 'Britain's Got Talent' in 2009 ' is set for a cameo in the show because her rise to success is similar to that of the stars of the musical drama.

Asked about the speculation, Lea said: 'Oh my God, I have no idea! It would be so incredible to sing with her.

'She had a hidden talent which was then discovered, which is what happened to so many of us from 'Glee'. Look at Amber Riley and Chris Colfer ' they're incredible and thanks to 'Glee' the world gets to see them.

' think Susan Boyle is perfect. She's a shoo-in.'

As well as hoping Susan can appear on the show, Lea would be delighted if Madonna ' whose music was the subject of a special episode last year ' and Justin Timberlake were also offered roles.

She added in an interview with Britain's LOOK magazine: 'We all loved doing the Madonna show ' it was one of my favourite episodes. We're hoping to do a part two. Maybe Madonna could be the sex education teacher.

'Justin Timberlake would be great. He is perfect.'

Michael-Jackson-autopsy-documentary-pulled Email this story Printable version

The Discovery Channel has removed a scheduled documentary about the autopsy of Michael Jackson citing the commencement of legal proceedings as the reason to drop the program.

The channel scheduled the special 'Michel Jackson's Autopsy: What Really Killed Michael Jackson' to originally air on January 13. When the show was first announced the channel received a petition from thousands of fans demanding they pull the show.

The Discover Channel was criticised for trying to exploit the singer's death. The show, featuring a re-enactment of Jackson's last days has been called 'distasteful'.

Dr Conrad Murray, the doctor who prescribed the medication that killed Jackson, will commence a preliminary hearing tomorrow (January 4, 2010) in Los Angeles. Based on the hearing, the court will decide if Dr Murray will go to trial for the manslaughter of Jackson.

Michael Jackson died on June 25, 2009 from a drug overdose prescribed by Dr Murray.

They love surprises! I once turned up at a girl's house and gave her a bag. Some clothes and jewellery ' she loved it!'

Unlike some of his friends, Tinchy isn't afraid of commitment and he is looking forward to the day he gets married to the right girl.

He explained: ''ve always thought about marriage, kids and a house ' it's part of life. As you get older you realise marriage is a big thing ' especially for girls. It's a woman's thing. But it doesn't scare me. I definitely want to get married one day.'

Check out the picture. This is what Katy Perry really looks like when she isn't dressed up as a pop star.

Katy's husband Russell Brand snapped the pic and posted it on his Twitter account yesterday but it was quickly removed. We can assume Katy had something to do with that.

Go load out Katy's hit song 'Teenage Dream' and listen to the lyrics. 'You think I'm pretty without any make-up on' is the opening line of the song.

Brand obviously thinks she is or he would not have posted the pic to his 1.7 million Twitter followers.

Katy Perry has 5,124,691 followers on Twitter. Russell Brand has 1,711,454 followers.

Sir Paul McCartney has written to Indian Prime Minister Manmohan Singh proposing a National Vegetarian Day in the sub continent.

According to The Press Association, McCartney said the day would be a 'celebration of life' and would promote compassion towards animals, as well as help protect the environment and promote healthy living.

India would be fitting since vegetarianism is widespread in the world's second most populous country.

McCartney has been a vegetarian since the 70s and famously travelled to India with The Beatles towards the end of their career in 1968, popularising the country for people who wanted to go on a spiritual journey.

Handy Blues Foundation award, presented in Memphis in 2006 for co-writing the American Blues Song of the year 2006.

Mick-Karn-from-Japan-dead-at-52 Email this story Printable version

Mick Karn, bass player for Japan, has died in London from cancer at the age of 52.

Karn was diagnosed with advanced stage cancer in June 2010 and passed away at his home in Chelsea at 4:30pm, January 4, 2011.

A statement at his official website reads, 't's with profound sadness that we have to inform you that Mick finally lost his battle with cancer and passed away peacefully at 4.30pm today, 4th January 2011 at home in Chelsea, London. He was surrounded by his family and friends and will be deeply missed by all'.

Karn founded Japan with David Sylvian, Richard Barbieri and Steve Jansen (Sylvian's brother) in 1974. They were one of the original glam rock acts of the UK, keeping the tradition set by David Bowie and T. Rex.

Japan's most successful album 'Tin Drum' reached no. 12 in the UK in 1982. It was also their last. Personal differences between the members was what broke up the band.

The group did reform in 1992 but not as Japan. Sylvian, Jansen, Karn and Barbieri released an album under the name Rain Tree Crow.

A statement at David Sylvian's website reads, 't is with profound sadness we announce the passing of mick karn after his battle with cancer.? ?Several months after having been diagnosed with terminal cancer mick finally succumbed to the illness at 4.30pm on 4th Januray 2011 at his residence in Chelsea, London. He is survived by his wife Kyoko, and his son Metis. May his suffering be at an end, may he find eternal peace'.

Ana Matronic doesn't like stripping off on stage.

The Scissor Sisters frontwoman ' who is known for her eccentric fashion choices ' isn't comfortable flashing her flesh to fans like her bandmate Jake Shears.

She said: ' get tired of seeing yet another actress or pop star with their clothes off. It seems that these days, to achieve a certain level of success as a female performer, you have to get your kit off.

'The exceptions are very, very few - Susan Boyle and Taylor Swift, they're like the only ones.

'And one of them you don't really want to see naked, while for the other it doesn't seem age appropriate!'

The 36-year-old singer has lost a lot of weight in recent months but insists she has a long way to go if she wanted to be considered thin by her pop peers.

She said: ''m still fat by Hollywood standards. If I walked into a casting for a part in a movie they'd probably tell me to lose 30 more pounds. But I believe I'm providing a really good role model for people who want to change. It is possible.'

The 35-year-old star ' who has her own video game 'Get Fit With Mel B' - told new! magazine: ''ve got my own gym, but I like to switch it. I enjoy going to classes, or I go take a hike or something. But it depends on my mood. I go to spin classes or aerobics or boot-camp class. I like them all.

'As for my diet, my husband's a great cook, so I'm spoilt and he makes really great, healthy meals. He does a great chicken dish with sauté vegetables and amazing salads. It's all really healthy and home-cooked, but I'm going to eat what I want. I had a fast-food burger yesterday, which was great. As long as you eat in balance, I think it's OK to be naughty sometimes ' be it a burger or chocolate. I mean, don't do it every day, just wait for the weekend or something like that.'

Professor-Green-is-hoping-for-a-BRIT-Award-nomination-this-year Email this story Printable version

The 'I Need You Tonight' hitmaker landed the trophy for Best UK Hip Hop/Grime Act at the 2010 MOBO awards, and is secretly hoping he'll be able to follow it up with a nomination for a BRIT when they are announced in January ahead of the ceremony in February.

He told BANG Showbiz: 'Will I win a BRIT? I don't know, to just get a nomination would be incredible.'

The rapper attended the BRITs ceremony in 2010, where he witnessed his friend Lily Allen pick up her first trophy - after she missed out on four awards in 2007 - and said it was incredible to be on the same table as her when her name was read out.

He recalled: ' was there this year and Lily was so nervous, bless her, but being on her table when she got the award was wicked. She didn't expect to win it and she was so ecstatic.'

Lily has been a mentor to Green, and helped set him off on the road to success when she agreed to sing on the chorus of his single 'Just Be Good to Green', which later became a top five hit in the UK.

He added: 'Lily's fans really warmed to me on tour and she is a sweetheart and an absolute darling. She has done so much for me and my career and she has really helped me turn my life around.

''ve met a lot of people in this business but with her she's a really, really good friend of mine and I'm hugely grateful to her.'

Professor Green's second album is set to be called 'The Myth' and will be released in 2011.

Taylor-Swift-and-Jake-Gyllenhaal-have-split-up Email this story Printable version

The couple ' who have been dating since October ' are believed to have called time on their romance in December and spent the festive season apart.

An insider told People: "They're over. It ended last month."

It has been claimed the 30-year-old actor ' who was previously in a relationship with Reese Witherspoon ' decided to end his romance with the 21-year-old country singer because he felt "uncomfortable" with the couple's nine-year age gap.

A source told Us Weekly magazine: "Jake reached out to her and started all of this, but now he's not acting as interested. He said he wasn't feeling it anymore and was uncomfortable with all the attention they got.

"He also said he could feel the age difference. Taylor is really upset. We told her not to move so fast with this but she didn't listen. Jake cares about her, but the publicity was a lot for him. He wants to keep his private life private, and that's hard to do dating Taylor."

Only last month, the 'Love and Other Drugs' star admitted he gets very frustrated by the interest in his personal life because he worries it will affect his relationships.

He said: "It bothers me a little that there is so much interest.

"One of the greatest parts about being in a relationship is the intimacy you share - but it can be difficult if you're being watched the whole time. But I understand - it's just one of those things."

The 32-year-old musician confirmed on twitter his girlfriend Edie Langley gave birth to a boy named Eli over the festive period.

He wrote on his twitter page: 'Mehreh Christmas one and all. I am the devastatingly proud father of a boy, who's name is Eli. X(sic)'

The Libertines rocker had formerly predicted he would be spending the holidays with his new baby, who was due on Christmas Day (25.12.10).

He said: 'How will I spend Christmas? Well, I'm having a baby so I don't know. Maybe we'll end up spending it in a manger. Or a maternity ward.

"She's due around Christmas Day. I'll probably be in a maternity ward, although there's all kinds of Christmas metaphors you can make.

"I've got a plethora of wise men on standby."

Discussing his highlights of 2010, Carl added the baby and the reformation of The Libertines with Pete Doherty were peaks of his year.

He added: 'My personal highlight, I guess my baby. Apart from that, The Libertines reunion. But my baby comes first.

"With the Libertines, all those years of doubts and potentially falling through the many vortexes and pitfalls of speculation and conjecture regarding the band, their mythology and their actuality, I think it was withdrawn from any negatives and I felt so happy to be at the centre of something so many people were using as a catalyst for such joy."

The Girls Aloud beauty ' who has been with boyfriend Justin Scott for six years ' admits she is ready to walk down the aisle but neither she nor her partner are organised enough to plan their nuptials.

She said: ' think we've both been ready to get married for a while, we're both just too laid-back to bother actually doing it. We will get round to it.'

Though she is ready to get married, Kimberley is in no hurry to start a family with Justin in the near future.

She told Britain's more! magazine: ''m always a bit broody. But I'm not ready to have kids myself. I should probably get the record straight that I'm not going to be doing it any time soon.'

Kimberley admits she always saw herself married with children before she was 30, and though it hasn't happened yet, she isn't disappointed because her career has been so fulfilling.

She added: ' think everybody when they're younger thinks they'll be married with kids when they're 30, but then it's here and you think, 'Oh actually, it's fine.' I never dreamed I'd achieve so much.'

John Taylor of Duran Duran remembers Mick Karn

John-Taylor-of-Duran-Duran-remembers-Mick-Karn Email this story Printable version

John Taylor of Duran Duran has written a touching tribute about Mick Karn, the Japan bass player who died today at the age of 52.

At duranduran.com John says:

't is with great sadness we read of the passing away of Mick Karn, Japan bassist and super-sideman, one of the great visual and sound stylists of the late-seventies/early-eighties.

Nick and I first saw Japan at Barbarellas in Birmingham on their 'Obscure Alternatives' tour and were blown away. They were so fresh, while every other band in town were tripping over each other in a rush to play the same three chords, Japan were brave in many ways. When I think back to that night the image that first comes to mind first is beautiful Mick, red hair and Ibanez bass, shaved eyebrows and ballet shoes, shuffling around the floor like a docile robot, playing also with great beauty and verve, punching delicate holes in the fabric of the songs; in Mick Karn's basslines no notes were ever wasted.

It is a great tragedy to me that the members of Japan were never able to quite get over themselves and find a way to work again together, as Japan. The Rain Tree Crow episode was a disaster, more-so if the rumors about David were true, changing his mind about calling the project Japan, once the album had been started and he held all the cards.

I did not follow Mick's work past Dali's Car, but got to speak to him last year as we both made contributions to the David Bowie tribute, 'We Were So Turned On'. We made tentative plans to meet in London, and Duran discussed Mick contributing to 'All You Need is Now'. It never happened.

Mick changed my life in a good way, 'Quiet Life' and 'Gentlemen Take Polaroids', 'Adolescent Sex' and 'Tin Drum' are amongst the best recordings made during the post-punk era in my view. Mick's sax playing also was always interesting.

He shall be missed'.

Duran Duran have just released their 13th album 'All You Need Is Now'.

Gabrieli Consort & Players saw in the New Year with a fine performance at Shakespeare's Globe on New Year's day. Music-News.com were on hand to witness the Winter Wassail in the resplendent theatre on the Thames edge.

Whilst enjoying the warmth of a mulled wine in these authentic surroundings the singers were in full voice regaling the gathered throng with songs and poetry from times gone by in order to shoo away the darkness. The most memorable of which was a fine rendition of the '12 Days of Christmas' highlighting the impracticality of the presents.

It was truly magical way to spend the first day of the New Year. Do check out the Gabrieli Consort & Players and other forthcoming events at Shakespeare's Globe on the links below.

Founded by Paul McCreesh in 1982, Gabrieli Consort & Players are world-renowned interpreters of great choral and instrumental repertoire, spanning from the renaissance to the present day.

The Wanted get more attention from girls now they are famous.

The 'All Time Low' hitmakers find it amusing that so many attractive ladies now want to date them because before they found chart success they weren't a hit with the opposite sex.

Singer Nathan Sykes said: ' went to an all girls school, they had boys in sixth form ' which was superb as you can imagine, there was only about 10 boys .

'We went to do a gig there when we did the schools tour and people who never wanted to speak to me before wanted to talk to me, I was like, 'Yeah I know your game.' '

The 17-year-old star also revealed the group's fans cover a broad spectrum of ages, though he and his bandmates ' Max George, Jay McGuiness, Siva Kaneswaran and Tom Parker - don't attract the same admirers.

He added to BANG Showbiz: ' think the mums go for Max, he's a hit with the older ladies. Sometimes the daughters go towards me and the mums go for Max. I'll be happy with the daughters!'

Katy Perry thinks boys are just as excited about seeing her 2011 tour as girls.

The 'Firework' singer knows she has more female fans than male admirers but is confident any guy who is being taken to one of her concerts by their girlfriends this year will enjoy her show.

She said: 'That's the thing with me, I think a lot of girls are bringing their boyfriends along, but the boyfriends aren't dragging their feet. They will be secretly excited to be coming to see me, I think.'

Katy ' who is married to Russell Brand - is also confident she may be able to convince a special guest to put in an appearance at some concerts if their schedules allow for it.

She added: 'Perhaps Snoop Dogg will make a surprise guest appearance if he happens to be in the same city at the same time. The boyfriends would enjoy that!'

Foo Fighters have tweeted that they've just finished up their eighth studio album.

They tweeted a group shot featuring the band, newly re-added member Pat Smear, producer Butch Vig, Emily Lazar who mastered the album, possibly mixer Alan Moulder and dudes who we might assume is an engineer.

Dave is brandishing bottle, captioned with the tweet 'Ladies and gentlemen......we are officially done. Champagne, anyone?'

They also tweeted a link to an ear-splitting ten-second sample of the album - with the caption 'White Limo' ' that confirms their constant claims that this album will be their heaviest yet.

The band have booked huge festivals throughout Europe in June and July so we can presume the new album will be out before then.

The 21-year-old country singer's father Scott is her biggest fan and likes to be heavily involved at her concerts to show his support for his famous daughter.

Taylor explained: 'My dad is adorably optimistic, positive, pie-in-the-sky. He thinks every new song I write is my best. He sells T-shirts at my merchandise stands and hands out guitar picks to fans.'

Many fans have met Scott while at Taylor's shows, and said how friendly he is.

One US fan, Emily, told how she met the former stockbroker at a concert in Washington DC.

She wrote on a fan site in June this year: ' got pit passes and met Scott (Taylor's dad for anyone unaware) He came out and gave us guitar picks then my friend and I talked to him for a minute or two by the soundbooth during 'Hey Stephen'.

' was so close to hugging Taylor but she had to turn around and go the other way to get back to the actual stage. But I touched her hand at one point during the show. And she looked right at me during 'Fifteen' on the moving stage.'

Taylor also told how she takes elements of her mother's personality into her onstage persona too.

She said: 'Mom is a planner, an organiser. She's very strong and practical. She's the person that'll tell me if I ever start to change my personality. The balance of the two of them created my personality.'
