David Crosby open to Crosby, Stills, Nash and Young reunion


David Crosby is open to a reunion with his former supergroup bandmates Stephen Stills, Graham Nash and Neil Young.
The 77-year-old singer/songwriter former Crosby, Stills, Nash in 1969 with Canadian musician Young joining later and they released eight albums up until 1999.
Crosby would be open to performing with his former bandmates again and he loves them and thinks the music they made together was “great”.
In an interview on ‘The Tonight Show with Jimmy Fallon’, he said: “Never say never, man. I have no bad stuff in my heart about any of those guys, man, I made too much great music with them. I love them.”
Crosby – who was the guitarist and singer with The Byrds before forming the folk rock supergroup – did acknowledge that he and his former bandmates were “awful to each other” after Fallon pointed out that they don’t speak to one another.
Crosby said: “We bashed heads with each other so many times, I mean we were so awful to each other so many times. All of us were. And I think we all know that.”
The ‘Ohio’ singer revealed that he is regularly contacted on Twitter by fans asking him and the other band members to “get your act together” and reform in order to “be a voice for the people that love you”.
Crosby conceded that in the current political climate it would “be a great time for us to be out singing like that”, then suggesting he would take part in a “get out for the vote tour” ahead of the next American Presidential elections.

Iggy Pop nearly quit music


Iggy Pop nearly quit music after being left “drained” by touring.
The 72-year-old rocker admits he “wanted to be free” after hitting the road to promote his 17th album ‘Post Pop Depression’, but he later decided to continue in the music industry.
He said: “I felt drained. I felt like I wanted to put on shades, turn my back and walk away. I wanted to be free.
“I know that’s an illusion, and that freedom is only something you feel, but I have lived my life thus far in the belief that that feeling is all that is worth pursuing.”
Iggy is now set to drop his 18th studio album, ‘Free’, and admits the record “kind of just happened”.
He is quoted by The Sun newspaper’s Bizarre column as saying: “It’s all that you need – not happiness or love necessarily, but the feeling of being free.
“So this album just kind of happened to me, and I let it happen.”
Last year, Iggy teamed up with ‘Born Slippy’ hitmakers Underworld for four-track EP ‘Teatime Dub Encounters’, and admitted he wanted to perform “behind a screen” because he is tired of people looking at him.
He said: “Some time, some day, I would like to sit in the dark behind a screen and do the live vocals while they play. I would love to do that.
“But I’m just tired. I’m tired of people looking at me all the time. What I enjoy most in my life are my secret hours.
“So probably if I ever did this live with these guys, it’ll be when they’re somewhere where they’ve got room for an extra hand for bridge or whatever and I can go behind.
“Maybe I could have one guy, like, with a cell phone in my face and nobody could see me.”

The Corrs to reunite for new tour


The Corrs are set to reunite for a massive tour.
Siblings Andrea, Sharon, Caroline and Jim last toured in 2016 and had a one-off gig in London in 2017 but the quartet are ready to get back on the road in Europe and the US.
A source told The Irish Sun newspaper: “Performing together is second nature for The Corrs. They love doing it and the reaction they get from crowds when they play.”
The band found huge international success with their second album, ‘Talk On Corners’, which was released in 1997 and insiders have insisted their success was down to timing.
An insider explained: “The Corrs arrival on the music scene in the late Nineties was perfect. They were embraced along with Riverdance and the blockbuster Titanic, which was seen by some as an Irish film.
“10 years earlier, it wasn’t trendy to be Irish in the UK, and if The Corrs had landed ten years later, they would have had to perform on ‘X Factor’.
“Can you imagine The Corrs performing their songs in front of four reality show judges and asking them ‘are we any good?’ It wouldn’t have happened.”
The band sold 45million records before taking time out in 2006.
Meanwhile, Sharon – who has appeared as a judge on the Irish version of rival BBC singing show ‘The Voice’ – previously blasted ‘The X Factor’ as “appalling”.
The star said: ” I think reality shows are dying out. The reason I did ‘The Voice’ was because I rated it. I felt like it was the antidote to ‘The X Factor’ which I think is appalling.
“On ‘The X Factor’ you’d almost think that these judges could put these bands together and somehow they have this amazing foresight and they know how to make people superstars. They don’t. Superstars are born. They work at it. They work at their job. They make music. They sing brilliantly. They play brilliantly. You don’t make that. You know what I mean, that is made and it involves a lot of hard work.
“Some of the artists are very young and impressionable and they are being given the wrong impression. There’s no way you’re not going to have to work your backside off in this industry.”
