The Ting Tings aren’t desperate for Jay-Z to collaborate with them on their second album, Kunst.
The “That’s Not My Name” hitmakers have been working on the album in Berlin, and say they’re happy developing their new material by themselves, rather than with other sources.
Speculation has been rife Jay-Z would appear on the album since the duo signed to same management company as the rapper, Roc Nation, last year.

Has Fall Out Boy Fallen Apart?
Posted by Veronica Santiago Categories: Artist News, Gossip, Rumors, Alternative
Based on individual comments made over the past 24 hours, it appears Fall Out Boy may be over…for good.
Late last year, the “Dance, Dance” singers opted to take a hiatus from performing through at least 2010. Now it’s unclear whether the band members will ever reunite again.
During a recent interview with Spin magazine, lead singer Patrick Stump declared: “I’m not in in Fall Out Boy right now… Whether we play again or not, I don’t know.” His comments were then followed up by statements from the other FOB musicians.

Anticipate More Blur Performances
Posted by Andru Edwards Categories: Artist News, Concerts / Tours, Gossip, Performances, Reunions, Rumors, Rock
Blur drummer Dave Rowntree said it’s likely the band will perform again given the success of last summer’s gigs.
When asked if they would be the last shows, he said: “I hope not. We’ve never said anything like that, that would be a crazy thing to say. I’m sure we’ll play together again, why wouldn’t we.”
“It was great, the sun was shining, I was out with my mates on the road just like the old days,” Dave said about their recent performances. “I’d die a bitter man had I not been able to play in front of hundreds of thousands of people! I don’t know why, maybe that makes me weird, maybe that’s quite selfish of me but I would.”
Rowntree also told Absolute Radio that he does not listen to the band’s old music. “Why would I do that? I listen to new music. No you don’t revisit stuff like that unless you have to do you?” he said.
Jimmy Page Eager for Led Zeppelin Reunion
Posted by Andru Edwards Categories: Reunions, Rumors, Rock
If Jimmy Page had his way, fans could soon see a return from his genre-defining 70s band. Unfortunately, the fate of his old group rests in the hands of its former lead singer.
“You’d better ask Robert Plant what the future of Led Zeppelin is,” the legendary guitarist said. “Musicians can always play together but I don’t think you can go out with a band called Led Zeppelin if you haven’t got the original vocalist.”
A reunion is in doubt, however, as Robert is presently recording a new album with vocalist Alison Krauss - a follow up to their award winning debut together, Raising Sand - while the group’s other surviving member, John Paul Jones, is now a member of supergroup Them Crooked Vultures.

Are the Jonas Brothers Breaking Up?
Posted by K.C. Morgan Categories: Artist News, Gossip, Rumors, Pop
Rumor has it that Disney darlings the Jonas Brothers might be headed for a break up. Quoting a mysterious “family insider,” Popeater reports that “Kevin’s heart is just not in the group anymore. His wife Danielle is his number one priority.”
Nick Jonas has a solo album coming out in February, and he’ll be taking a 14-city tour to start things off. It could be a precursor to more solo projects to come…and no more brother act for the Jonas boys.

Duet for Susan Boyle and Andrea Bocelli
Posted by Andru Edwards Categories: Artist News, Collaborations, Performances, Rumors
Susan Boyle - whose debut album I Dreamed a Dream was the fastest-selling debut LP ever released by a woman - is planning to team up with Italian operatic legend Andrea Bocelli for a new TV talent show.
The pair will sing together on ITV1’s Pop Star to Opera Star, where pop musicians will compete against each other by singing classical arias.
“Susan has held Andrea off the top of the US charts for weeks - it’s incredible. But he holds no grudges, he joked that he ‘must sing with this amazing woman,’” a source told The Sun.
When they perform together, the pair are expected to duet on one of Grammy-nominated Andrea’s most famous songs - either “Time To Say Goodbye,” which he famously performed with Sarah Brightman, or “The Prayer,” which he sang with Celine Dion.

U2 to Make First Glastonbury Appearance
Posted by Andru Edwards Categories: Artist News, Concerts / Tours, Rumors, Rock
U2 are scheduled to headline the Glastonbury Festival next year.
The music event’s organizer Michael Eavis has signed up the Irish rockers - Bono, The Edge, Adam Clayton and Larry Mullen Jr. - to perform for the first time at the world famous festival which celebrates its 40th anniversary next year.
“Everyone is over the moon that the deal has been done. Michael really wanted a huge name for the 40th anniversary and the fact U2 have never played Glastonbury in their 32-year career only adds to the mystique,” a source said.
The “Get On Your Boots” hitmakers - who will headline the festival on Friday June 25, in Somerset, England - have been in discussions with Michael, 74, for some time.

The Who May Rock the Super Bowl
Posted by Veronica Santiago Categories: Artist News, Performances, Rumors, Rock
The Who is already played three nights a week on CBS, so why not make it a fourth?
The rock band behind “Who Are You”, “Won’t Get Fooled Again” and “Baba O’Riley” (a.k.a. the three different CSI theme songs) is now rumored to be Super Bowl XLIV’s halftime act.
Although the report has not yet been confirmed by the NFL, it would be just like that network to milk a series - or band - to death.
The championship game will be played February 7, 2010 in Miami.

Will the Rolling Stones Tour Again?
Posted by Andru Edwards Categories: Artist News, Concerts / Tours, Rumors
The Rolling Stones may be about to tour again.
Ronnie Wood confirmed he had been in touch with band members Mick Jagger and Charlie Watts just last week and everything was “great” - hinting the group could hit the road again soon. He added that he was confident the band could do a follow up tour to 2007’s Bigger Bang.
Earlier this week, Wood picked up the Outstanding Contribution award at the Marshall Classic Rock Roll of Honour awards. The rocker, who was at the event with his 20-year-old Russian girlfriend Ekaterina Ivanova, also said there could be a reunion with his other band, Faces. “Well, we just had one, and there will definitely be more,” he stated.
Commenting on rock stars wearing makeup, Ronnie said: “It’s like KISS - they’re people you don’t recognize in the street, then they take makeup off, I’ve always worn it, but I’ve not got any on tonight.”
There are yet to be any dates confirmed for either a Faces or Rolling Stones tour.

The Spice Girls are to planning to perform a concert in South Africa.
The group sparked rumors of a reunion last week when four former members - Mel B, Mel C, Geri Halliwell and Emma Bunton - had dinner together in London and it has now emerged they were discussing plans for a special show to launch the World Cup soccer tournament next year.
Mel B and her husband Stephen Belafonte have brokered the deal and are keen to press ahead with the plan - even though Victoria Beckham doesn’t want to take part.
“Mel is determined to get the girls back together for the World Cup and wants them to plough ahead as a foursome if Victoria doesn’t want to take part,” a source told Britain’s The Sun newspaper. “She has got the others excited by the idea of a one-off appearance. They are very interested.”
