George Michael may not be able to sing again



Popstar and famous troublemaker George Michael has to face one of his most difficult challenges of his life. He was taken to hospital before his show in Vienna, Austria as part of his Symphonica - The Orchestral Tour. According to known information, he is currently still in hospital. He has got strong pneumonia. In fact, during first days he was fighting for his life. He is stable now, but he is still in danger. Next few days are going to be crucial for him.

His difficult treatment will have probably affect on his voice. According to doctors, he won't be able to sing during 2012. Worse scenario is that his voice won't get better at all. However, let's all hope for the best.

Singer of the band Keith Flint has announced this news. Flint has also confirmed that the band is in the studio working on new, yet untitled, album.

Flint said:

"We are definitely going to bring the party and make sure it rocks. It's the only festival appearance we are doing in 2012, so we're going to make sure it's really special. We're also going to be dropping some of the new stuff that we have been doing in the studio. It's going to be fucking ferocious."

Song of the day: Muse - "New Born"

Great classic from their second album Origin of Symmetry, which came out in 2001. This record made them famous and since its release, they have become one of the greatest bands.

Scientists: Sex Pistols paintings are archaeologist findings

Archeologists say that recently found paintings in Johnny Rotten's apartment may have similar significance to cave paintings in Lascaux, France from Paleolithic times. According to John Schofield, York University archeologist, Sex Pistols paintings are clear evidence of radical punk rebellion in 70s. More scientists agree that these paintings are important historic and archaeologist findings.
Johnny Rotten painted on his walls himself, other band members and their manager Malcolm McLaren. Archeologists made evidence of these paintings. According to Schofield, Sex Pistols paintings can be compared to early Beatles recordings.

Well, these statements may offend somebody, but I find it really interesting and I agree that paintings are evidence of punk rebellion from 70s.

You can also watch documentary movie about these paintings from Denmark Street below.

Black Sabbath added more tour dates for 2012

Except Russia and Italy, band is set to visit Finland, Sweden, Denmark, Norway, Germany, Czech Republic, UK, Holland, Spain, France and Belgium.

That's a lot of shows. I hope I get to see them. I am kind of worried about Ozzy's voice though. We'll see. Check all the tour dates announced so far on Black Sabbath Web site.

Thrice will take a break

Thrice have announced that they are going on hiatus. Just couple of months after releasing their latest album Major/Minor they made a statement on their Web site saying that after their tour in Spring they will take a break from being a full-time band.

Here is a full statement:


"Thrice is not breaking up. If nothing has broken us up by now, I doubt anything ever could.

However, we will be taking a break from being a full-time band, and the upcoming tour in the Spring will be the last one for the foreseeable future.

Playing music for the past 13 years with Riley, Ed, and Teppei has been such a gift. We have been able to see the world, share music with thousands and thousands of people, and make records with a variety of talented and inspiring people. The four of us have been through many highs and lows and overcome them together. I value their friendship, and it has been a great priviledge to play alongside them for so long. They are truly an amazingly gifted group of people, and the ways we’ve grown together as people and musicians has been a joy to experience.

Along the way we have adapted to many changing situations, especially the growing families of both Teppei and myself, but it has been harder and harder for me with each step. I have three little girls now under the age of 5, and it is a huge strain on my family and I when I’m away for several weeks at a time. The way we’ve been doing things for a while is simply not sustainable for me anymore.

I don’t know what the future looks like for Thrice, or for any of us individually. I do know that I would love to make more music in the future with them, as well as play some shows or short tours, but for the time being, I need to step out of the role of full time touring/recording musician, and will do so after this tour. I will continue to make music in various capacities I’m sure, and continue in my work as a Worship Director at Mars Hill Church in Orange County.

I know this will be very disappointing news to many people, and for that I am truly sorry. The amount of support and love we’ve been given in our career is staggering and overwhelming. I know I’m biased, but I think we have the best fans in the world.

This upcoming tour should be a lot of fun. We are planning for it to be somewhat of a celebration of the last 13 years and I’m sure we’ll be breaking out a bunch of songs that have been buried in the archives. I hope to see you out there to celebrate with us.

I never expected to be able to do any of this, let alone do it for 13 years, with such amazing bandmates, such gifted and hard working crew and management, and such incredible and loyal fans.

Thank you all."

Biffy Clyro also work on new album. They revealed that it will be kind of obscure. There will be influences of country-prog and goth-rock.

Frontman Simon Neil said about the album:

"We've got some really obscure things going on. We've got a kind of prog country song, which we never thought we'd do, and some weird kind of math rock stuff meets almost goth rock. It's hard to explain just yet but there are moments that are odd. We're working pretty hard. We're now up to about 30 songs so maybe a double album, the dreaded 'D' word."

We will have to wait some time to see how obscure new album will really be...
