Guns Nâ Roses is headed to The City of Light in June. The hard rock band has also booked several other dates in France as well as Ireland and Italy.
In typical Guns Nâ Roses fashion, the upcoming European dates are trickling in through a French promoter as well as listings on Ticketmaster.com rather than a big announcement directly from the band. The bandâs website is under construction and the groupâs Facebook pages says âGuns Nâ Roses does not have any upcoming concerts.â
The new dates begin May 17 with a gig at The O2 Dublin in Ireland. The Paris concert is set for June 5 at the Palais Omnisports de Paris-Bercy.
791672
Additional French shows are scheduled at Lyonâs Halle Tony Garnier June 10, Strasbourg at Zenith June 11, Toulouse at Zenith June 14, Montpellier at Park & Suites Arena June 18, and Toulonâs Zenith Omega June 19. Guns Nâ Roses will play âGods Of Metalâ in Milan, Italy, June 22 at Fiera De Milano.
A pre-sale for the Dublin show begins Feb. 1. Tickets go on sale to the general public Feb. 3.
Guns Nâ Roses last toured Europe in October 2010.

After spending much of the last few years playing Las Vegas residencies, Barry Manilow is getting out of Sin City.
751035
Hardly a day goes by that we donât hear from a promoter announcing his brand-spanking new Manilow date. Yes, the man who practically owned the 1970s when it came to majestically produced ballads is building quite an impressive routing in 2012.
For example, Manilow is slotted for three nights at the Windy Cityâs Chicago Theatre Feb. 2-4. He also has a four-night run at New York Cityâs Radio City Music Hall Feb. 10-12 & 14.
But not all Manilow dates are multi-nighters in some of the nationâs largest cities. Much to his fansâ delight, heâs booking plenty of one-night stands across the country, including Omaha, Neb., at the CenturyLink Center Feb. 29; Moline, Ill, at the i wireless Center March 8; Detroitâs Fox Theatre March 9; Saint Paul, Minn., at Xcel Energy Center April 13; Grand Rapids, Mich., at the Van Andel Arena April 26 and Milwaukee at the Milwaukee Theatre April 28.
Other towns hosting the purveyor of such monster hits as âI Write The Songs,â âMandyâ and âCould It Be Magicâ include Huntington, W.Va. (April 19); Highland Heights, Ky. (April 20); and Green Bay, Wis. (April 27).
Manilow is also headed to the U.K. in May, playing shows in London (May 15), Birmingham (May 17), Manchester (May 19) and Glasgow (May 21) as well as in Dublin, Ireland, (May 23).
Many shows are already on sale. A fan club presale for Milwaukee begins Feb. 1, for Saint Paul Feb. 2. Highland Height goes on sale Feb. 3. Visit Manilow.com for more information.
Although the surviving Bee Gees arenât ready to announce their return to the stage yet, Barry Gibb will play his very first U.S. solo concert next month.
The big day is set for Feb. 21 in Hollywood, Fla., at the Seminole Hard Rock Live.
This isnât Gibbâs first experience working with Seminole Hard Rock. In December he was the grand marshal for the Seminole Hard Rock Winterfest Boat Parade.
Gibb, who has earned the ranking as the second all-time hit songwriter (behind only Paul McCartney), last performed in 2009 at âSound Reliefâ in Sydney, Australia, to raise funds for victims of the Victorian Bushfires.
713791
Last year Gibbâs younger brother and bandmate, Robin Gibb, was the Bee Gee in the news because of a variety of health issues. After canceling a Brazil tour because of abdominal pain in April, Robin was sent to the hospital in October, and then again in November. The Sunday Mirror reported Nov. 20 that the 61-year-old is fighting liver cancer. Robin admitted on his blog that he had been âvery unwellâ but said he was âon the road to recovery.â
Around that time The Daily Mail claimed that when Barry came to visit Robin after his Nov. 15 hospital stay, the brothers reportedly started talking about touring again.
The group hasnât toured since Maurice Gibb, the third Bee Gee brother and Robinâs twin, died in 2003 because of complications from a twisted intestine.
Tickets for Barryâs first U.S. solo show are on sale now and range in price from $44 to $104.
Vince Power hopes to cash in on Glastonbury Festivalâs year off by tempting fans to visit the UKâs resurrected Phoenix Festival or take a trip to Spain for Benicassim.
In November, Benicassim, which is July 12-15, announced the Stone Roses.
The festival on Spainâs northeastern coast last sold out its 50,000 capacity in 2009, but the signs are that Power â whose Music Festivals Plc. now has full ownership of the event â is planning for a bumper year.
âPeople tend to use it as a holiday, the campsite is open for around nine days, and you can guarantee sun and great music,â he told the Daily Mail.
Power floated Music Festivals on the Alternative Investment Market last year to raise ÂŁ6.5 million toward buying Irish promoter Denis Desmondâs share of Benicassim and the smaller holdings of a consortium of Irish businessmen.
The cash was also used to buy such largely Power-owned UK festivals as Hop Farm in Kent and Londonâs Irish-themed Feis Festival.
In the programme notes for last yearâs Hop Farm Festival, Power announced his intention that Phoenix Festival would rise from the ashes.
âFor those of you who remember the Phoenix Festival, itâs my intention to resurrect this festival next year as Glastonbury is taking a break,â he said.
Phoenix â owned by Powerâs Mean Fiddler Group â was held at Long Marston Airfield near Stratford-upon-Avon between 1993 and 1997, but struggled to establish itself. The â98 gathering was scrapped because of poor ticket sales.
Zac Brown is the newly announced headliner for Milwaukeeâs Summerfest; Bonnaroo promoters have released a book covering the festivalâs rich musical history; America to get a star on Hollywoodâs Walk Of Fame; someone ripped off The Bellamy Brothers; and Hulk Hogan says he could have played bass in Metallica back in the day.
Zac Brown Band To Headline Summerfest
Another sign youâve made the big time is when the self-proclaimed âWorldâs Largest Music Festivalâ trumpets your newly booked headlining slot on the mainstage. In this case itâs the Zac Brown Band thatâs tapped to play the Marcus Amphitheater at Milwaukeeâs Summerfest July 5.

A Star For America
One of the most popular groups from the 1970s will be honored in Hollywood next month when America gets its own star on Tinsel Townâs world-famous Walk Of Fame.
The Hollywood Chamber of Commerce will honor America members Gerry Beckley and Dewey Bunnell with the Walk Of Fameâs 2,459th star Feb. 6 at 6752 Hollywood Blvd. outside the Musicians Institute. Original member and Christian music pioneer Dan Peek, who left the band in 1977, passed away last summer.
The next night America will perform a concert and partake in a Q&A at the Grammy museum in downtown Los Angeles.

Grand Theft Bellamys
Famed country music vocal group The Bellamy Brothers were victims of grand larceny while shooting a music video in the Florida Everglades.
Thieves broke into the groupâs rental cars and production truck and made off with thousands of dollars worth of production equipment plus a personal iPad and a digital camera. However, the crooks passed on guitars and video equipment, probably because of size.
Fortunately, the police are on the case. The Bellamy Brothers report that police say most of the electronics were offered to a local pawn shop but the shopâs owner turned them down after suspecting the goods were stolen.
The Bellamy Brothers recently spent four days in several Florida locations shooting four videos with Austriaâs DJ A-Tzi.
Metallica: James, Lars, Kirk and ⌠Hulk?
While touring in the U.K. with TNA Impact Wrestling, Hulk Hogan talked with Londonâs The Sun newspaper, saying he wanted to speak with members of Kasabian about the British rock bandâs alleged practice of checking into hotel rooms under the Hulksterâs name.
Turns out Hogan had a few more things to say about music. Such as he loves the Stone Roses and that he used to work out to their songs.
But perhaps the most unexpected revelations concerned his bass guitar playing.
âI used to be a session musician before I was a wrestler,â Hogan told The Sun. âI played bass guitar.â
Hogan then told the newspaper that, if things had turned out differently, he might have joined Metallica.
âI was big pals with Lars Ulrich and he asked me if I wanted to play bass with Metallica in the early days, but it didnât work out,â Hogan said.
But Metallica wasnât the only band Hogan might have joined. He claims he could have had a chance to join The Rolling Stones if Mick had listened to then-girlfriend Jerry Hall.
âJerry Hall also asked Mick Jagger if I could play bass with The Rolling Stones,â Hogan told The Sun. âMick never got back to me.â

A concert honoring Americaâs dustbowl troubadour is set for the Woody Guthrie Centennial Celebration in March.

Anyone who ever doubted the transformative power of Bob Dylanâs music need only look to Ke$ha.
Yes, Ke$ha.
The irreverent pop star known for singing about brushing her teeth with âa bottle of Jackâ turns poignant while covering a song from one of musicâs great lyricists on the new four-disc Chimes of Freedom: The Songs of Bob Dylan Honoring 50 Years of Amnesty International. The project features 75 newly recorded Dylan songs by 80 artists, including Adele, Sting, Sugarland, Elvis Costello, hip-hop artist Kânaan and others to support the human rights organization.
784152
Ke$ha is one of the more unlikely stars to contribute to the compilation, released Tuesday. The pop star defined by party anthems like âTik Tokâ and âYour Love Is My Drugâ took on Dylanâs âDonât Think Twice, Itâs Alright.â As she found herself alone in her bedroom for the first time in months, the words of the song â about a person bidding goodbye to a lover â took on a new, deeply personal meaning. She realized she was saying goodbye to her carefree, former life â before big hits and world tours brought on pressure and priorities. She broke down as she began singing, and the emotion is captured on the record.
âEverything has changed. Itâs amazing, but there are moments that are incredibly lonely. This caught me at one of those incredibly lonely moments, and it really struck home. Thereâs a line, âItâs a long and lonesome road, babe, where Iâm bound I canât tell.â Itâs tragically relevant,â said Ke$ha in a phone interview. âI think these are all positive things for young people to see that you can be strong and you can be irreverent and you can say what you want and you have the freedom of speech, but Iâve learned that vulnerability is actually an asset. It can be just as much of an asset as strength.â
Ke$ha isnât the only eye-popping name on the compilation: Nineteen-year-old Miley Cyrus does a rendition of âYouâre Gonna Make Me Lonesome When You Go.â The project has a wide range of acts, from Maroon 5 to 92-year-old folk legend Pete Seeger, who sings âForever Youngâ with a childrenâs chorus. Dylan waived the publishing rights to his entire catalog, and all of the artists, musicians, engineers and others involved in the recording process did everything pro-bono.
Aerosmith guitarist Joe Perry, who recorded âMan of Peace,â describes it as âthin iceâ to cover an artist as iconic as Dylan, because not only are his songs brilliant, but his performances of those songs have become so revered themselves.
â(Artists like Dylan) know where (the songs) live and breathe and where the heartbeat is. So covering them can be a touchy thing,â said Perry, who recorded the Dylan song âMan of Peace.â ââHopefully you donât make it different just for the sake of making it different. I just wanted to kind of reinterpret my take on the song and just have fun singing it.â
Legendary country artist and actor Kris Kristofferson considers Dylan a personal friend but says heâs been an inspiration and a hero a lot longer than that. Johnny Cash introduced them while Kristofferson was working as a janitor at Columbia Recording Studios in Nashville in the 1960s. At 75, Kristofferson says he has been around long enough to understand and appreciate Dylanâs impact on music.
âIf you look at pop songs before Dylan, none of them were poetry like his are. He opened up the doors for creative writers and made songwriting to me what it is today,â said Kristofferson, who covers âQuinn the Eskimo (The Mighty Quinn).â ââMusic was a whole lot different when I was a little kid. Pop music was lifted up as an art form by Bob Dylan.â
759577
British pop singer Natasha Bedingfield recorded âRing Them Bellsâ in Nashville during her U.S. tour last year. She said she used to listen to it as a kid with her brother and sister.
âTo me the song is about freedom, âRing them bells for the blind and the deaf, for the innocent,ââ she said. âFor me it felt quite poignant, particularly for this album, where Amnesty is all about people who are being unjustly treated.â
Chimes of Freedom is a follow up to Amnesty Internationalâs 2007 collection of John Lennon songs performed by major artists, called Instant Karma, which raised over $4 million for their efforts in Darfur.
âMusic has been at the heart of so many movements for change,â said Julie Yannatta, who served as the albumâs executive producer with Jeff Ayeroff. âMusic has a way of reminding us who we are at our essence and what we need to do to live together in a better world, and Amnesty is very much a part of that.â
764461
The album will be available internationally on Jan. 30.
Riot founder/guitarist Mark Reale died Wednesday, reportedly due to complications from Crohnâs disease. He was 56.
Riot posted the following message on the bandâs website and Facebook page Wednesday:
âTo friends and fans of Mark Reale and Riot, we are deeply saddened to confirm that Mark has lost his battle with a lifelong illness. Your thoughts and prayers are appreciated by Markâs family, friends, and bandmates at this difficult time.â
The bandâs Facebook profile picture, as well as the front page of Riotâs website, has been changed to a picture of Reale along with the words: âRest in peace ⌠Mark Reale June 7,1955 â January 25, 2012.â
Reale formed the heavy metal band in 1975 along with drummer Peter Bitelli, bassist Phil Feit and vocalist Guy Speranza. The group, which replaced Feit with Jimmy Iommi and added guitarist Louie Kouvaris, released its debut studio album, Rock City, in 1977. Riotâs fifteenth and most recent studio album, Immortal Soul, was released in October 2011.
The current lineup features vocalist Tony Moore, drummer Bobby Jarzombek, bassist Don Van Stavern and guitarist Mike Flyntz.
Earlier this month Pollstar.com reported that Reale was in critical condition in a San Antonio, Texas, hospital because of complications from Crohnâs disease. The guitarist has suffered from the inflammatory bowel disease, which often causes severe abdominal pains, for most of his life. Before passing away, Reale had reportedly been in a coma since suffering a subarachnoid hemorrhage Jan. 11.

Ne-Yo has a dream: He believes the record industry is segregated, and has hopes of changing that as the new senior vice president of artists and repertoire for Motown Records.
Even though Motownâs legend is rooted in black music, it was music that appealed to everyone, helping to unite a nation in sometimes divisive times. As a top exec at Motown, Ne-Yo wants to unite people musically once again.
âI want to get back to a place where everybodyâs listening to the same thing no matter what race, color, creed you are,â the singer said in an interview Wednesday after Universal Music made the announcement. â(Now) thereâs music thatâs specifically for black people and thereâs music thatâs specifically for white people, and I feel like the essence of ... music is lost when you do that.â

The 32-year-old Grammy winner, who has multiple hits of his own and has also written smashes for others like Rihanna and Beyonce, says he is looking to sign artists that have a drive and a tremendous work ethic, not just one-hit wonders.
âI definitely plan on making sure the people I bring to the industry are going to be an asset to the industry as opposed to a liability,â said Ne-Yo, who also has his own label imprint called Compound Entertainment. âItâs more than âShe looks good in a short skirtâ or âHe looks good with his shirt offâ â itâs about somebody that has a talent.â
Ne-Yo, who is planning to release his fifth album this summer, will also move to the Motown Records roster. He has released his four albums on Island Def Jam Music Group; both Motown and Def Jam are subsidiaries of Universal Music.
Heâs also an actor: Ne-Yo appears in the new George Lucas film âRed Tailsâ about the Tuskegee Airmen, who were the first black fighter pilots to serve in the U.S. military. It debuted at No. 2 with $19.2 million last weekend, despite some concerns that a black-themed film would not appeal to a mainstream audience.
âIt always feels good to beat the odds,â he said.
Country music legend Merle Haggard has returned home to northern California to recuperate from multiple illnesses.
Haggard had been hospitalized in Macon, Ga., for about a week with double pneumonia. While there, doctors discovered three stomach ulcers and eight polyps in his colon.
759576
At one point, the 74-year-old checked himself out of the hospital to return to Redding, Calif., by tour bus. But he returned a few hours later after deciding the trip would be too taxing.
The âOkie from Muskogeeâ singer was diagnosed with lung cancer a few years ago, but recovered after part of his lung was removed.
Itâs unclear how Haggardâs recent health issues will affect his touring schedule. His website shows him playing next on Feb. 28 in Tucson, Ariz.

The group ended 2011 by earning plenty of press for various controversies.
In early November Odd Futureâs Left Brain was accused of attacking a photographer in the photo pit at the Voodoo Experience in New Orleans. Later that month Odd Future made headlines after a lobby group questioned why the act was being featured at Big Day Out festival in spite of their âhomophobic, misogynistic and hateful lyrics.âÂ
Odd Future rapper Tyler, the Creator was arrested in late December and accused of felony vandalism for destroying an electronic soundboard following a show.
To give the act the benefit of the doubt, it is a new year â maybe Odd Future wonât get into any trouble in 2012. They even included a sweet kitten on the Tumblr announcement for their new dates. Well, the cat did have really crazy eyes and sharp, scary teeth. But thatâs a start.Â
788657
Tonight Odd Future plays another stop on the Big Day Out festival at Sydneyâs Olympic Park Showgrounds. Additional Big Day Out dates are booked through Feb. 5.

Tickets are on sale now. The group warns that fans should give their tickets now âbefore scalpers get them and you complain about the resale price and shit.â
The Odd Future Tape Vol. 2 will be released this spring, followed by Wolf, the third studio album from Tyler, The Creator.
