The latest gossip on Saturday Night Live: Justin Vernons back again. As a Bon Iver member, he let on that he was doing a skit on the most talked about baby – Blue Ivy – who is Beyonce and Jay-Z’s daughter. The skit was about a number of musicians visiting the couple in order to see the child. The role of Bon Iver was to lull the baby to sleep by singing her Holocene which was the nominated song for the Grammy. Still on Saturday Night Live, Jack White was the one announced as a future musical guest once the show returns on air.
We missed the fact that Guns N’ Roses had added three more dates their recent tour. The Electric Factory in Philadelphia, an evening in Miami and the House of Blues in Orlando all featured in the tour.
A new Blur song titled Under the Westway was revealed by Graham Coxon and Damon Albarn at a charity concert in London. The song is supposedly thelatest material from Blur from Fool’s Day which was released in 2010.
With another famous band – Iron Maiden – expected back in North America this summer on tour too, the music scene is looking good. This will form a sequence of amphitheater, festival and arena shows, starting in Charlotte NC on 2nd June and ending in Houston, TX, on 18th August. Tragically Michael Davis, who was the bassist, passed away on Friday as a result of liver failure at the age of 68. We are yet to find out who replaces him.
