Seriously? OMG! WTF?

 

Newly reformed Genesis have announced they will play a massive free concert for 400,000 fans in Rome this summer. Tony Banks, Phil Collins and Mike Rutherford will end their first tour in 15 years by playing the Circo Massimo on 14 July. The band – who are playing Manchester and London in July – have so far sold over 800,000 tickets for their European tour, according to the BBC.

That show sounds like it will be amazing. 

Celine Dion’s Las Vegas show "A New Day" will close Dec. 15 after nearly four years at Caesars Palace. The final year of the show will include new costumes and new numbers. In late January, “A New Day’’ will be filmed for a TV special and DVD. The final block of tickets for performances from August through December will go on sale on March 1. Dion was the sixth highest grossing act in North America last year, pulling in $78.1 million. She did 147 shows at the Colosseum. Caesars has not yet announced Dion’s replacement.

Love or hate her, you have to admire her for doing as many shows as she did as long as she did! 

 

STING is in talks to reform The Police for a special tour to mark their 30th anniversary. The group, who have not played together since 1984, are considering a series of summer concerts across the UK. Rehearsal dates have already been planned, say music industry sources. Singer Sting, 55, drummer Stewart Copeland and guitarist Andy Summers would perform their classic hits including Walking On The Moon and Every Breath You Take. The concerts would coincide with record label A&M releasing some material from the band’s back catalogue. A source said: "They were intending to make an announcement in January after all the tour dates had been finalised. "They are speaking to venues about playing in May and June." A spokeswoman for A&M confirmed that "early discussions" with the band had taken place but said there were no firm dates for concerts.

OMG! OMG! OMG! OMG! OMG! OMG! 2007 is starting on a positive note! Yay! I think I would pay as much $1,000 to see them live! Can you tell I am a die hard Police fan? 

Photorazzi Robbie Williams has reportedly disappointed fans on the Australian leg of his world tour. According to the Daily Mirror, hundreds of fans left the ‘Millennium’ singer’s concert at Melbourne before the end, with the show later receiving unflattering reviews. The paper quotes one concert-goer as commenting: "He failed to deliver or even resemble the energy and vibrance of past visits. He should hold true to his promise to retire." The event was staged at Melbourne’s Telstra Dome with a crowd of 64,000. Last week, Williams was given a fine for smoking on stage in Australia.

Wow, he must’ve been really bad. But to compare him to him past shows he has done, I think is sad. If you are a fan, you are fan! I mean how many times have you gone to your favorite artist and they only play new stuff or slow it down, do you walk out? You just don’t see them again!

All the pieces of the post-Celine Dion era at Caesars Palace are falling into place: Cher’s deal is done, and Bette is set. Cher will move into the 4,000-seat Colosseum in the spring of 2008, and Bette Midler will follow in the fall, I hear. Dion ends her 41/2-year run, an unequaled local success, in December 2007. Depending on which reports you believe, she either plans to launch a two-year world tour or will try to have a second child through in vitro fertilization.

How cool would it be if the two of them did it together?
