0 1368

Famous singer Prince has passed away. The sad news has just been revealed. The cause of death remains unknown for the moment, but reports indicated that an autopsy will be made on the singer’s body to discover the reason of his tragic death. 

Prince was found dead in the elevator of his Paisley Park estate, Minneapolis, on Thursday. At the time when medical staff arrived at the scene, the famous singer was unresponsive.

Although they performed CPR on the star, unfortunately, they were unsuccessful. As already mentioned, the cause of death has not been revealed, but it was speculated that it could be linked to a previous hospital visit of the famous singer. 

Prince was rushed to the hospital six days before the tragic event, after falling ill upon his return to Minneapolis. The singer was coming back home from a concert held in Atlanta and needed an emergency hospitalization in Illinois. 

As imagined, numerous other potential causes of death have been speculated so far. For instance, a report by celebrity site TMZ indicated that Prince has actually died because of a drug overdose. The site also claimed that the overdose was actually the reason why Prince had to be rushed to the hospital, not a flu, as a rep for the star claimed. 

Regardless of the real reason of the hospitalization, Prince was released from the Illinois facility in a matter of a few hours, indicating that he was not dealing with very severe issues. However, TMZ also reported that Prince was spotted making several visits to the pharmacy a day before his death. 

Another important thing worth to be mentioned is that Prince had to delay a show in Atlanta, because he was not feeling well. He held the performance on April 14 and started the show by apologizing to everyone for the delay. 

The 911 call after the death of the star was made by an unidentified man. At the time of the 911 call, the man claimed that Prince was already dead. Without a doubt, his death is a great loss for the world of music. Most likely, new details about this will be released in the coming days.

A fan shared a photo on the popular social network of the star spotted without the ring and Iggy responded to the pic. “I was on my way to a photoshoot where i would need to remove it… would you leave a milli in the dressing room?” she said. This is not the first time when Iggy has tried quite hard to assure everyone that she and Nick were fine. 

Actually, after news emerged saying that Iggy was cheated on by her boyfriend with a 19-year old woman, the singer has been vocal in saying that things were going well between her and Nick. Iggy also clarified that there was nothing wrong and the engagement was still on. Some rumors even went to say that Iggy not only terminated the engagement, but she also kicked Nick out of their home. 

“When you’re grown and actually build a life with someone you might understand. That’s life … You’ll f**k up in your own ways too, relationships are hard work,” Iggy tweeted. 

The engagement ending news surfaced after a leaked video of Nick saying that he cheated on Iggy with a young girl emerged online. The video was recorded by Nick’s friend, D’Angelo Russell. Insiders claimed that Nick was really furious with the fact that the video was recorded in the first place and he felt betrayed by his friend. “That was his boy, his close friend and teammate.

Gwen Stefani and Blake Shelton are without a doubt a happy couple. In fact, it seems that the two are so happy together that they are even thinking about having a child. Blake and Gwen have been dating only for a couple of months now, so the news is quite surprising. 

A new report by In Touch magazine claimed that Gwen is quite determined to have a child with her boyfriend. The report indicated that the singer wanted another baby and she also wanted to give her boyfriend a biological child. Gwen already has three sons Apollo, Kingston and Zuma, from her former marriage. 

“Gwen is freezing her eggs because she wants to have a baby with Blake. She’d love to have a girl – plus Gwen knows her boys would love to have another sibling – and wants to give Blake this opportunity to have a child that’s biologically his,” a source talking to In Touch claimed. The source went on to add that Blake has actually told Gwen that having a biological son is not something that really matters to him. 

“Even though Blake says having a biological child doesn’t matter to him, Gwen will do whatever it takes to make certain that if he changes his mind, the eggs will be frozen and available,” the insider revealed. Well, this does not necessarily mean that we will see Gwen pregnant soon. In fact, the famous pair might be using a surrogate. 

“They have discussed using a surrogate. Blake is very touched Gwen is going to such great lengths to make him happy, especially since there is absolutely no pressure on her to do it. But he will be by her side for the process, which can be painful,” the insider concluded. 

Well, it seems that Gwen and Blake are not the only couple who is believed to be making some baby plans. We can surely say the same thing about Drake and Rihanna. So, some rumors indicated that the two singers were planning on having a child. The report was denied by Gossip Cop.

Some shocking news have just emerged. It has been revealed that keyboardist Keith Emerson died at the age of 71 from a self-inflicted single gunshot to his head. The shocking news was revealed by police sources. The musician was found by his longtime partner, Mari Kawaguchi, in his Santa Monica, California, home. Kawaguchi called the cops at the scene of the events and said that Keith could have died anytime between Thursday evening and Friday morning.  

While the exact cause of his death remains unknown, officials have ruled as preliminary cause a potential suicide. However, an investigation on the case remains ongoing. Kawaguchi refused to reveal any details of Keith’s death at this point. 

Keith Emerson remains best known as the founder and keyboardist of progressive rock-band Emerson, Lake and Palmer. He was actually considered to be one of the giants when it comes to progressive rock, in the 1970s. Keith, alongside Carl Palmer and Greg Lake, actually recorded no less than six platinum-selling albums. Before founding this rock band, the musician was a keyboardist for numerous groups in the 1960s. 

However, despite his career and success, Keith never considered himself to be a rock or a pop icon. “He hated being called rock star or prog-rock star…he wanted to be known as composer,” Kawaguchi said. “He never succumbed to being commercially successful. He had no interest. He always said: ‘I’m not a rock star. I’ve never been a rock star. All I want is to play music.”

“Keith was a gentle soul whose love for music and passion for his performance as a keyboard player will remain unmatched for many years to come,” Carl Palmer shared after the sad news was revealed. “He was a pioneer and an innovator whose musical genius touched all of us in the worlds of rock, classical and jazz,” his message added.  His band’s official page also shared a message, asking everyone to respect the privacy and the grief of Keith’s family during these hard moments. 

Emerson, Lake and Palmer was very successful in the 1970s. In fact, they released no less than nine studio albums during that time. However, Keith is also known for his work as a solo artist. Actually, he also achieved fame for writing an autobiography: “Pictures of an Exhibitionist.” The book was released back in 2004.

Adele is without a doubt one of the most famous and the most talented singers at the moment. The beautiful star decided to open up about two issues she has been dealing with, during her new interview with Vogue magazine. 

Adele revealed that she is trying to stay fit now, but the beautiful star claimed that it has been quite difficult for her to get comfortable in her own skin.

Furthermore, Adele claimed that her weight loss actually let to a shopping addiction she has been dealing with. “I was trying to get some stamina for my tour, so I lost a bit of weight. Now I fit into normal, off-the-shelf clothes – which is really a big problem for me,” Adele said during her interview. 

The popular singer went on to add that although she may look quite fashionable when it comes to magazine covers and public appearances, in everyday life she just uses normal and comfortable clothing. After all, Adele is a mom and the star is taking care of her child. “I look like anyone else,” Adele confessed. 

“When I’m with my kid I’m in leggings and a jumper and a pair of Converse because the grubby little hands are going to mark anything nice,” the talented singer went on to say. However, the singer added that being a parent has been an amazing thing for her. “I felt like I was trying living,” Adele said about the moment when she became a mom. “I had a purpose, where before I didn’t,” she added. 

Motherhood is very important for the star and it seems that Adele wants to spend as much time as possible with her family. Adele also explained that privacy is also important and she just wants her son to be able to have that. 

“I think it’s really hard being a famous person’s child. What if he wants to smoke weed or drink underage, or what if he’s gay and doesn’t want to tell me, and then he’s photographed and that’s how I find out?” the singer said. And the star actually claimed that she enjoyed the time she spend away from the spotlight.

Adele concluded that she is just happy now. “I feel so comfortable in my own skin. I really like how I look, I like who I am, I like everyone that I surround myself with,” the beautiful singer said.

P. Diddy Associated to Tupac’s Death

0 1373

Tupac has passed away many years ago, but his memory and his music remain alive in the mind and heart of his fans. Well, even though a lot of time has passed, much speculation continues to be associated to Tupac’s death. 

Now, it has been claimed that famous rapper P. Diddy might have had a part in this tragic event. Of course, the famous rapper denied any involved in the death of Tupac. Well, now, a new story surfaced on this mysterious assassination. A former Los Angeles cop claimed in a new documentary movie that he found out what happened when Tupac died. 

He claimed that the assassination was mastermind by Diddy, who actually paid someone to eliminate his rival in the music world. The statements were made by former LAPD detective Greg Kading, who said that Duane Keith Davis received no less than $1 million from Diddy to murder Tupac and his manager Suge Knight. However, it wasn’t Davis personally who shut Tupac, but his nephew was the one who pulled the trigger. 

Tupac Shakur was murdered in Las Vegas, in September 1996. His death actually remained an unsolved case, so exactly what happened and who assassinated him still remain a mystery. A lot of speculation has surrounded this subject and the controversy enhanced after Diddy’s close friend, Notorious B.I.G., was also killed in a shooting. Immediately after, it has been said that this shooting was actually orchestrated by Suge Knight, who survived the shooting and hired someone to kill Biggie.

Well, P. Diddy has not been associated to Tupac’s shutting now for the first time. In fact, back in 2002 the LA Times also published an article claiming that Diddy’s boys were the ones who shut the rapper five times in New York City. Then, Tupac survived. Naturally, Diddy denied the story. The LA Times finally redrew the whole story. 

All the findings of the LAPD officer revealed now will be shared in a documentary movie that is set to be featured on Netflix this spring. The officer claimed that the LAPD did not accuse Diddy because of his celebrity status, but he was determined to make light in this case.

Petition against Adam Lambert’s Singapore Concert

0 1393

It seems that people really don’t want Adam Lambert to perform in Singapore. Quite a big opposition has been organized against the popular singer, with more than 16,000 people trying to prevent him from going on stage on New Year’s Eve, in Marina Bay, Singapore. 

Well, a petition has been launched online, trying to determine Adam Lambert to cancel his appearance in Singapore. Over 16,000 have already signed this petition available online under the name “Petition against Adam Lambert performing in Countdown 2016.” The petition states that allowing Adam to perform there will actually come in disregard to the values of Singaporean families. 

“Countdown 2016 is our annual iconic, public event for Singaporeans to come together to celebrate New Year’s Eve, as one. Allowing Adam Lambert to perform as the star of Countdown 2016 shows disregard for the values of a majority of family-centric Singaporeans who have consistently resisted the promotion of western liberal ideas about family values and societal models,” the petition states. 

Furthermore, signatories of this petition asked for extra care to be exercised when it comes to choosing the performers of this important event in the area. “Adam Lambert is an inappropriate choice and reflects a lack of judgment that could turn an otherwise dignified family-friendly event into a situation that is offensive and potentially divisive,” the petition says. 

It seems that people are so upset with Adam because the singer has made some “inappropriate acts” during his shows. The document stated that for instance, during the American Music Awards 2009, the star “engaged in sexualized acts, including kissing a male band member, on stage.” Thus, the petition said, the singer was unpredictable and anything could happen on stage. They also claimed that the singer’s music videos showed “acts of indecency.” 

Despite the petition and all the claims and concerns raised, Adam will continue to be featured at the event. However, MediaCorp stated that people have nothing to worry about, as the show will be suitable for families. Adam also supported these claims, saying that he will celebrate “the entire family in all its diversity.”

Adele Talks about Successful Single Hello

0 1506

Adele decided to talk about her latest single, which actually is a huge success. The star opened up during an interview with i-D magazine, saying that she knows that she will never create an album as her highly successful as 21, but the famous singer confessed that she does not even want to try that. 

The new interview is actually the first one that Adele has given in the past three years. The star claimed that the theme of her latest album is not being heartbroken and went on to add that she is not suffering from love at the moment. “I’m not heartbroken, but I probably won’t be able to better the one I did, so what’s the point?” the famous singer explained. 

“Also, how I felt when I wrote ’21,’ it ain’t worth feeling like that again. … I was very sad and very lonely. Regardless of being a mom or a girlfriend, I didn’t want to feel like that again,” she concluded. Adele is no longer single. The star is happy with Simon Konecki, whom she had been dating since 2011. The pair has a 3-year-old son together. Adele also explained that her latest single, Hello, is not about the same person who inspired her songs on her previous album. Moreover, Adele said that the song is not “about anyone specifically.” 

So, what Adele was trying to say is that the song could be about anyone, after all. “It’s about friends, ex-boyfriends, it’s about myself, it’s about my family,” Adele said. “It’s also about my fans as well. I feel like everyone thinks I’m so far away and I’m not.” The star also added that the song is just about wanting to be at home. 

The famous singer also revealed that despite what people may believe, she still lives in England and does not plan on moving to the US, as she would miss home too much. Adele revealed that she really misses “my life at home,” whenever she is far away. “That way that I feel when I’m not in England is … desperation. I can’t breathe anywhere else,” she said. 

When it comes to her future plans, Adele revealed that she will actually be touring and traveling after the official release of her album, 25.
