Music Notes Archives for 2024-11

Foreigner's Future Tour Plans

Foreigner bassist and musical director Jeff Pilson is now saying that their current farewell tour might not be “farewell” after all. In an interview, he said he “wouldn’t be surprised if we continue well past ’25.” He also used the phrase: “maybe we’re gonna not do the long 9 and 10-months-of-the-year road stuff anymore”, which seems to leave the door open for the group to tour in the future.

Lynyrd Skynyrd

Lynyrd Skynyrd singer, Johnny Van Zant, says that the band’s last show before the death of founding member Gary Rossington was recorded, and will be released “on CD, Vinyl, and DVD I’m sure.” Plus they are 'talking about' a movie. Rossington, the last original Skynyrd member, played his final concert with the band on November 22, 2022 at The Ryman Auditorium in Nashville.

 

 

Guns N

Their “Greatest Hits” album has now spent 700 weeks on the Billboard 200 chart. It is now one of only 8 releases in history to reach that milestone. Coincidentally, Bruno Mars’ “Doo-Wops & Hooligans” hit the same landmark at the same time.

Britney Spears' to Release Jewelry!

Britney Spears is now a jewelry designer. On Instagram over the weekend, she shared an image of pink roses, and revealed her new B Tiny jewelry line, writing: “Delicate extremely different and one of a kind pieces!!! I’m so excited!!! Realizing how cool it is to be an artist that can be passionate in so many different ways!!! B Tiny coming soon!!!”

Ever Heard of Creedence Clearwater Revival?

The Offspring Frontman, Dexter Holland’s, favorite punk band of all time is not one you would have expected. It’s Creedence Clearwater Revival. While guesting on a podcast, he called CCR’s music “very anti authority, anti government, anti war.”
 

Oasis Hypes up New Music

Liam Gallagher says fans will be “blown away” by their new music. After stunning fans earlier this year by announcing a reunion tour, he has now teased that a whole new Oasis album is in the cards. First, he posted in September that a new record is “already finished”. Then, over the weekend, a fan asked: “What do you think of Noel’s new songs he’s written for Oasis?” — and he responded: “Blown away.”

Sting Joins 'The Voice' Mentor Team

Sting will join “The Voice” as a “mega mentor” starting Nov. 11. He’ll be an adviser to Snoop Dogg and Gwen Stefani‘s teams during the knockout rounds. Jennifer Hudson will be the “mega mentor” to Reba McEntire and Michael Bublé‘s teams.

Mariah Carey Declares Christmas Time!

Mariah Carey has officially kicked off the holiday season. After recently posting videos poking a fun at her reputation as the “Queen of Christmas,” she posted one where she is dressed up with a dance partner as ‘Morticia’ and ‘Gomez’ from “The Addams Family.” After some antics, a red holiday dress appears with a countdown. The caption reads: “IT’S TIME!!!!”

The Cure's Newest Album

Friday, they finally released their first new album since 2008, “Songs of a Lost World”. In an interview, Robert Smith told a reporter that he owns “the only nocturnal sheep in Britain”, and even though sheep can’t be trained, he has trained one to “shake hands”. (Well! THAT should move a lot of product!)

Bruce Springsteen's Ghostbusters Cover

It’s hard to imagine, so it’s a good thing there’s video evidence. He and the E-Street Band opened their Halloween night show in Montreal with a rousing cover of Ray Parker’s Jr.’s 1984 hit ‘Ghostbusters’, from the movie of the same name.
