NO TOUR FOR THE STONES IN 2010
The Rolling Stones have issued a statement saying that, "Following recent UK media speculation, the Rolling Stones would like to make it clear there are no plans at the moment for the band to tour in 2010." Thet did however, reveal that the expanded version of 1972's "Exile on Main Street," which is being co-produced by Detroiter Don Was, will come out in May and feature "a host of unreleased songs," including "Sophia Loren," "Plunder My Soul" and "Following the River."
YOKO ONO TO WRITE AUTOBIOGRAPHY
A long-awaited side of the Beatles saga will be coming to print in the near future. John Lennon's widow Yoko Ono has confirmed she plans to write a memoir "in the next five years...I just have to find the time." Ono has said in the past she wouldn't write a book for fear of hurting those close to the group, including families, friends and surviving members Paul McCartney and Ringo Starr. Ono is expected to address not only her life with Lennon but also rumors and myths about her purported role in breaking up the Beatles. When it's published, Ono will become the third Beatle wife to write their memoir. Lennon's first wife, Cynthia Lennon, has written two -- 1978's "A Twist of Lennon" and 2005's "John" -- and George Harrison's first wife, Pattie Boyd, published "Wonderful Tonight: George Harrison, Eric Clapton, and Me" in 2007.
THE HOLLIES INDUCTED INTO THE ROCK & ROLL HALL OF FAME
Graham Nash reacted to the news - "My absolute first reaction was that I was so pleased for my friend Allan Clarke. He's my oldest friend. We met when we were five years, I've known him for 62 years. I'm already in the Hall of Fame with Crosby, Still and Nash, of course, of which I'm grateful, but this is really an honor for my first band".
AND FINALLY....
A little bird told me that at a concert last week at which Wayne Fontana was due to appear, 10 members of the police stormed into the theatre, stopping the show, so that they could search for Wayne, who had already cried off due to sickness.
The Reason?
He had amassed 20 parking tickets from his last national tour! And that warranted ten police stopping a concert! Get yourself burgled and see how many turn out for you!
