Green Day Tributes Amy Winehouse
Posted by Andru Edwards Categories: Artist News, Concerts / Tours, Performances, Pop, Rock,
Green Day have unveiled a tribute to late singer Amy Winehouse. The American Idiot rockers debuted the new track - which makes references to the "Rehab" hitmaker's troubled life up to her unexpected death on July 23 - at a secret show at the Tiki Bar in Costa Mesa, California, on Thursday.
According to lyrics posted on the band's official website, the opening lines are, "Amy, is your heart singing out of tune/ Are your eyes just singing the blues/ Dirty records from another time/ Some blood stains on your shoes."
The final part of the track laments Amy's premature death at the age of 27, as well as the drug and alcohol addictions which had plagued the star throughout since 2006: "You're too young for the golden age/ 'Cause the record bin's been replaced/ 27 gone without a trace/ And you walked away from your drink."
Green Day are the latest artists to pay tribute to Amy Winehouse, after U2, M.I.A., Coldplay and Dionne Bromfield have all dedicated tracks or dedicated parts of their live shows to the star.

British songstress Adele's 21 has become the biggest selling digital album of all time in the US.
The "Rolling in the Deep" hitmaker took the title from Eminem's Recovery record by selling 1.017 million digital copies of her LP in the country compared to the rapper's 1.005 million sales of his seventh studio album. Keith Caulfield, Billboard's associate director of charts/retail, said the 23-year-old British singer is "not just a digital phenomenon. She appeals to older consumers, who will still buy full albums, and to younger people who may just buy a single track."
According to figures from Nielsen SoundScan, digital sales make up more than 30 per cent of the purchases of 21, which was released in the US in February.

Adele has become "obsessed" with Beyonce while recovering from laryngitis.
The "Rolling in the Deep" singer had to cancel the second half of her US tour earlier this month because of the affliction to her vocal chords, and has been catching up with some music and TV she missed while resting at home in the UK.
"I'm at home now, watching box sets and sorting things out into neat piles and resting. i haven't been able to cook for almost 3 months cause Ive been on the road so I'm getting back into that (sic). Ive become obsessed with beyonce's I Am Sasha Fierce tour dvd and 30 rock, and Ive also started uploading over 1000 cds to my itunes! long but satisfying! i cant wait to be able to sing again, I'm bored stiff (sic)," she wrote on her site.

Linkin Park Back in the Studio
Posted by Andru Edwards Categories: Artist News, Collaborations, Upcoming Releases, Pop, Rock,
Linkin Park have started on the follow up to A Thousand Suns with Rick Rubin. The "Shadow of the Day" group have "been in the studio writing" with the legendary producer, coming up with new ideas and revisiting material they started during sessions for their last album in 2010.
"Typically we'll have a once a week meeting to go listen to the songs that they're coming up with and talk about them. For so early in the project, they are much further along than they have been on the last two albums we did. On A Thousand Suns there were still a lot of irons in the fire. We knew, 'OK, we can't do this forever. Let's leave this batch and we'll come back and address it when we start up again," Rick said.
Linkin Park recently headlined Download festival in the UK, although their set did not feature any new material.
