NOTE: Attempting to watch this video can cause unnecessary headaches. (I am living proof of that.)
During a concert last night in Tampa, Florida, Smashing Pumpkins frontman Billy Corgan became the latest musician to take a fall while on stage. The singer was in the middle of performing “Bullet With Butterfly Wings” when he briefly smashed to the floor.
You can see the moment at around the :19 mark in the clip.

LISTEN: Justin Timberlake Sings Backup for Sheryl Crow
Posted by Veronica Santiago Categories: Artist News, Collaborations, Covers, Pop, R&B / Soul,
When it came to recording “Sign Your Name” for her new album, Sheryl Crow didn’t have to look very far for a backup singer.
Crow, who happened to be working in the same studios as Justin Timberlake, said their collaboration was simply the result of a hallway conversation. “I’ve always liked him. I played (the song) for him, and when it got to the chorus he’s like, ‘Who’s doing the backgrounds?’ I said ‘We haven’t done them yet,’ and he said, ‘I got it,’” she recalled to Billboard. “It was all very organic and, man, perfect. People have no idea how talented this guy is.”
You can listen to the track after the jump.

Mix Tape: Remembering Live Aid, Suffering Live Nation
Posted by Veronica Santiago Categories: Concerts / Tours, Upcoming Releases, Pop,
-Old enough to remember Live Aid? An upcoming biopic titled When Harvey Met Bob will tell the story of how music promoter Harvey Goldsmith and musician Bob Geldof organized that 1985 worldwide event.
-Cancellations and low ticket sales for various acts have impacted Live Nation’s bottom line. The concert promoter’s adjusted operating income is predicted to be down at least $40 million from last year.
-According to Amy Winehouse, her next album will be out in “six months at the most.” The singer says the sound will be “very much the same” as her last release “where there’s a lot of jukebox stuff and songs that are ... just jukebox, really.”
-Vampire Weekend is the subject of a bloody lawsuit. The woman pictured on the cover of Contra claims her picture was illegally used after someone forged a signature on the release form.
VIDEO: Pink Falls From Harness During Act

UPDATE: You can see video of Pink falling off the stage after the jump.
Even if you haven’t attended one of Pink‘s concerts, chances are you’ve already seen a clip of her performing some type of circus act…while singing at the same time.
Although she’s pulled off these stunts numerous times - like at the MTV Video Music Awards and at the Grammys - the risk for an accident is always still there. Unfortunately, that proved to be the case during her concert in Nurnberg, Germany tonight.
In the video above, you can see Pink explaining after the accident why the show has to close early.

U2 Announces New Dates, Records Message
Posted by Veronica Santiago Categories: Artist News, Concerts / Tours, Videos, Rock,
I hope you’re still holding on to those unused U2 concert tickets.
Although Bono underwent emergency back surgery in May, the lead singer has been “rebuilt by German engineering” and is - as seen in the video - back on the road to recovery. This means the band will soon be back on the road and performing in stadiums around the world.
The group will first wrap up the European leg of their summer tour (those dates were unaffected) beginning with the August 6th stop in Turin, Italy. The previously scheduled stops in North America will then kick off in May 2011.
For more information on the new dates, you check out information posted on the band’s website here.

VIDEO: Tour Continues Despite Jon Bon Jovi Injury
Posted by Veronica Santiago Categories: Artist News, Concerts / Tours, Gossip, Videos, Rock,
It may take a little bad medicine, but an injured Jon Bon Jovi plans to keep entertaining fans across the country.
Friday night in New Jersey, the 48-year-old somehow managed to tear a calf muscle - ouch! - toward the end of a concert in New Meadowlands Stadium. Despite the obvious pain (he can be seen limping on the stage), the professional vowed to stay on stage until the end.

VIDEO: American Idols Deliver Flat Performance on GMA
Posted by Veronica Santiago Categories: Performances, Videos, Covers,
Let’s face it - this would have been an embarrassing performance even if Lady Gaga hadn’t been performing in the exact same city…at the exact same time.
Although a record crowd got to see a dynamic performance from the “Bad Romance” singer courtesy of the Today show, fans of American Idol were dished an out-of-tune spectacle during Good Morning America‘s event Friday morning.
If you were secretly hoping that the group’s cover of Kelly Clarkson’s “My Life Would Suck Without You” would sound better live than it does in rehearsal, you’ll be sadly disappointed by this clip. Making it worse? The version of Bon Jovi’s “It’s My Life” they added to it.
