Tour

MADONNA HAS PLANS OF HER OWN

To no one’s surprise, Madonna wants in on the action. The music icon launches her Celebration Tour this Saturday in London, and just like Taylor Swift and Beyoncé, she’s planning to film her performances and turn it into a movie. Madonna was a trailblazer in this genre, turning her Blonde Ambition tour into a feature length documentary, Madonna: Truth or Dare. This time around, she will take a cue from Taylor’s record breaking, The Eras Tour concert movie and make her concert the movie. In Truth or Dare the majority of the film was the behind the scenes action with only a few snippets of her performing. Taylor stands to make upwards of one hundred million dollars from her movie and Beyoncé’s upcoming Renaissance Tour movie is expected to do equally as well, so Madonna expects to earn quite the pretty penny.

Covid-19 Mick Jagger

WILD HORSES COULDN’T KEEP MICK JAGGER OFFSTAGE

Covid couldn’t stop Mick Jagger – he’s up to his old tricks performing in Amsterdam for The Rolling Stones’ 60th anniversary tour. In June he tested positive, and a few concert dates had to be canceled, but Mick recovered quickly and they rescheduled. It’s hard to believe the other guys in the band didn’t get sick …

Billy Idol Canceled MRSA Tour

BILLY IDOL: NO DANCING WITH HIMSELF YET

Last December Billy Idol thought he had an ordinary sinus infection that was making him feel lousy. Despite treatment, the infection got worse and turned out to be caused by staph bacteria – the serious MRSA superbug that resists most antibiotics. One antibiotic after another failed to help and Billy had to resort to surgery. He was distraught when he was forced to cancel the tour he had planned with Journey that started in February and lasts until May. (Toto filled in for him) He’s STILL experimenting with different antibiotics and further surgery might be necessary. He’s asking fans to send him positive thoughts.

Charlie Watts Health The Rolling Stones Tour

ROLLING STONES NO FILTER TOUR: ONE MAN OUT

The Rolling Stones have been itching to resume their covid cancelled USA No Filter tour, but according to Roger Friedman, it turns out they’re going to be missing one man. Drummer Charlie Watts, 80, had some sort of surgical procedure that was described as successful. BUT his doctors decided he needs more rest and recuperation. Watts asked his friend Steve Jordan to play drums for him on the tour – Jordan says he’ll be happy to give up his seat at the drums as soon as Charlie recovers.

Long Time No See Tour

KD LANG IS STILL CRAVING – AND TOURING

When KD Lang left LA in 2012, we assumed she moved back to Canada, but in fact, she moved to Portland, Oregon, where she’s been living happily ever after. She always hated being a celebrity – when her Ingenue album (featuring her hit Constant Cravings) was released in 1992, the world swooned, and Madonna wisecracked “Elvis lives, and she’s beautiful!” Rumors of a Madonna/KD Lang romance swirled, but proved to be untrue. Now 57, KD admits she’s not craving to write new songs, but still loves to perform. Above, she’s in the middle of her Ingenue Redux UK tour in which she performs the entire Ingenue album. She’s still got that pompadour…

Blondie Debbie Harry Tour

ONE WAY OR ANOTHER BLONDIE STILL RULES

After all these years, Debbie Harry is not only instantly recognizable but touring in the UK with sold out concerts. During her shows she always brings up her current obsession: bees. She’s concerned about the environment and the dying bee population. Her latest album is appropriately titled “Pollinator.” She and guitarist Chris Stein are still best friends through thick and thin, but not longer romantic. They’ve been touring together as Blondie since they reunited twenty years ago. Debbie says if she decides to retire she’ll can sell the portrait that Andy Warhol did of her and never worry about money again.

Baby Janet Jackson Tour

JANET JACKSON IS BACK AND IN CONTROL

Janet Jackson has NEVER liked going to crowded places with lots of paparazzi but she made an exception today because she DOES want to create excitement for her upcoming State of the World tour (and sell tickets too!) Janet and her 6 month old son Eissa Al Mana had lunch at The Ivy (which was probably the biggest paparazzi spot the last time she was in town.) She’s been living in London and despite claims that she’s moved back to LA, we doubt that her ex-husband would let her leave the UK permanently with their child. Janet is set to appear at the Hollywood Bowl on October 8 – tickets sell from $48.00 to $2300.00!

Burka Janet Jackson Tour Vancouver

JANET JACKSON’S BACK AND SHE’S ALL COVERED UP!

Frankly, we never thought we’d see Janet Jackson onstage again after she married Arab billionaire Wissam Al-Mana. She dropped off the face of the earth for several years – presumably living like an obedient princess in Qatar. A snapshot of her at an airport swathed in black with a black veil (VERY burka-ish) fortified our ominous beliefs. Maybe she finally got bored with all that indulgence. We’re happy to see that Janet’s back onstage (she opened her Unbreakable world tour in Vancouver last night) but she’s not quite the same Janet we knew and loved. She’s no longer “Nasty.” Her Vancouver performance revealed a more demure and less naughty Janet – and her costumes covered her from neck to toe. But we’re glad to have her back.

Concert Courtney Love Lana Del Rey Tour

COURTNEY LOVE AND LANA DEL REY: A MATCH MADE IN HEAVEN OR HELL?

No WONDER Courtney Love and Lana Del Rey are palling around at the British Fashion Awards. According to Rolling Stone the pair are planning to tour together. Courtney will open for Lana on her Endless Summer concert tour next year – so far eight shows are scheduled and one is at the Hollywood Bowl. These two singers are in no way alike and both are famously outspoken. It won’t be a dull tour, although some fans are mystified by the combination. (Above, they must have the same dress designer)

Above, he was photographed leaving a London radio station where he promoted the upcoming tour.
