VIDEO: Pink Talks About Demanding Funhouse Tour
Posted by Veronica Santiago Categories: Artist News, Concerts / Tours, Videos, Pop,
Pink‘s “most physically and vocally demanding” show of her life kicked off in the United States this week in dramatic fashion.
Although the crowd in Seattle gave her a warm reception, there was one element missing from the singer’s Funhouse tour: her “Sober” trapeze act. (A stand-in took over the high-flying duties during that segment.)
Pink revealed early in the program that she had somehow separated her shoulder. (She also said that her purse and phone were recently stolen.) Despite the pain, the 30-year-old refused to cancel the concert and carried on like a professional.

Muse’s Bout of Stage Fright
Posted by Andru Edwards Categories: Concerts / Tours, Gossip, Alternative, Rock,
The band members of Muse were hit with a bout of stage fright before performing a recent homecoming show. The group - made up of singer Matthew Bellamy, bassist Christopher Wolstenholme and drummer Dominic Howard - was so nervous about playing the highly-anticipated concert in their hometown of Teignmouth, Devon, they thought they would have a heart attack on stage.
“I’m totally s***ting myself. We’re very nervous. We’ve not played for over a year, so we’re probably completely unfit and will have a heart attack after two songs! There’s going to be s**t loads of people we know there as well. It’ll be the first gig we’ve ever done where it’s like that. I still live in Teignmouth so I’m gonna recognize most of the people in the crowd. Part of me’s going to have to switch off a bit and pretend it’s just a normal gig,” Chris said.

Madonna Collapses on Stage in Bulgaria
Posted by Andru Edwards Categories: Artist News, Concerts / Tours,
Madonna collapsed on stage twice over the weekend.
The 51-year-old pop star lost consciousness due to exhaustion on Saturday, but carried on with her performance at the Vasil Levski Stadium in Sofia, Bulgaria, despite her condition.
Madonna - who is on her Sticky & Sweet world tour - first fainted during a rendition of her 1983 hit “Holiday,” when her limp body was held up by backing dancers until she regained consciousness. She passed out a second time and collapsed into a heap on the floor as she left the stage after “Spanish Lesson.”

VIDEO: Whitney Houston Performs for GMA
Posted by Veronica Santiago Categories: Concerts / Tours, Performances, Videos, R&B / Soul,
The show may be called Good Morning America, but that didn’t keep Whitney Houston from doing it her way.
Although ABC has hosted many musicians on the program before, Houston didn’t want to perform at such an ungodly hour. Hence, the singer’s pre-taped concert today in Central Park. (The appearance will be aired tomorrow on GMA.) In total, Whitney sang four songs for the waiting crowd: “Million Dollar Bill,” “I Look to You,” “My Love Is Your Love” and “I’m Every Woman.”
Get a preview from that concert above, then set your DVRs for her interview with Oprah on September 14.

Blink-182 Cancels Concert to Mourn
Posted by Veronica Santiago Categories: Artist News, Concerts / Tours, Rock,
Although they found the strength to perform over the weekend, Blink-182 has decided to cancel an appearance Monday night in New York. The group made the decision based on the “circumstances surrounding the unfortunate and untimely passing” of their friend DJ AM.
On Saturday, drummer Travis Barker - who survived a deadly plane crash last September with Adam Goldstein - and the rest of his band members paid tribute to the disc jockey at a concert in Hartford, Connecticut. An emotional Mark Hoppus told the attendees that they had “lost a really dear friend” right before leading them into a moment of silence.
“We thank all of our fans for their support in this tough time,” the group said in a statement about this evening’s gig. Other acts still on the schedule include Weezer, Taking Back Sunday and Chester French.

In the past year, Tionne Watkins (a.k.a T-Boz) has kept herself busy with appearances on both The Celebrity Apprentice and The Real Housewives of Atlanta. Now she has an even bigger project in store.
Later this fall, the musician will reunite with another former TLC member for a concert in Vegas. The show with Rozonda “Chilli” Thomas will be their first in the US since 2002. That’s also the same year Lisa “Left Eye” Lopes - the third member of the Grammy-winning R&B/Hip Hop group - was killed after a car accident in Honduras.

Hand Injury Sidelines Motley Crue’s Tommy Lee
Posted by Veronica Santiago Categories: Artist News, Concerts / Tours, Rock,
Kids - this is why you shouldn’t handle fireworks.
A mishap with sparklers - yes, sparklers - will keep Tommy Lee from performing in several concerts with his crew. The Motley Crue drummer suffered a burn to his left hand last week conveniently during the band’s Crue Fest 2 tour.
Thanks to bandages on Lee’s left thumb and forefinger, Sevendust’s Morgan Rose - who “came charging in like a knight in shining armor” according to Nikki Sixx - has been asked to fill in. His first performance was last Friday in Cincinnati.
“We all wanna say we’re sorry Tommy has to sit out a couple shows, but we hope to have him back up on the drums ASAP ... I think Morgan needs a standing ovation for his dedication to kicking ass and helping not only Mötley Crüe out, but the road crew and everybody else out here whose lives would (have) been [affected] ... As for now, Mötley Crüe is a five-piece band — making history, one injury at a time,” Sixx wrote on his MySpace page.
No word at this time when Lee will be able to resume playing. The tour wraps up on September 2nd.
