U2’s Surprise Performance

250 fans attending a charity concert in London were surprised as U2 members Bono and The Edge gave an unannounced performance.

The stars showed up unplanned and performed as a warmup act at the fundraiser. The concert was hosted by Mencap, a charity that seeks equal rights for children and adults with learning disabilities.

Bono laughingly warned fans not to tell the other two U2 band members about the impromptu concert. “Don’t tell Larry (Mullen) and Adam (Clayton) we’ve done this.”

Bono and The Edge, serving as an opening act for Scottish rock group Biffy Clyro, played four songs – “Stay”, “Desire”, “Angel of Harlem”, and “Wave of Sorry”. They lit up the small stage at Union Chapel in London.

Fans were shocked when the stars appeared onstage and were thrilled to be able to see them. One fan stated,”I’ve used all the battery on my phone taking pictures of them.”

Next time, U2 should call ahead so ticket prices can be doubled!

Noel Gallagher needs protection

Apparently there are some crazy people in this world. And one of them has threatened Oasis member, Noel Gallagher, to the point where he feels he needs police protection. Here I thought you Gallagher brothers were meant to be tough cookies.

When I originally heard about this I assumed it was a crazed fan on a mission for an autograph or whatever is collectable these days…hair, teeth; you never know. But a source said it was actually a Greek man, accusing Noel of stealing his lyrics. The incident interrupted a recording session for the bands seventh album, held at Abby Road Studios.

But despite the police guard that has been appointed for the duration of the recordings; police didn’t seem to take the matter all that seriously. It is claimed they briefly looked for the assailant before cheekily asking for a sneak preview at the band’s work. They were politely refused.

Pete Doherty Crazy Behaviour

If you are famous, you shouldn’t really make it a habit to become involved with a crazed fan. Especially not one that has stolen from your house for drug money. But then, Pete Doherty is not exactly a typical famous person.

Junkie groupie Amelie Windel stole a painting from Pete’s den and tried to sell it on eBay. Apparently, Pete Doherty has an understanding towards junkies doing anything to get their hands on drug money; being an addict himself; and would usually turn a blind eye. However not this time. Instead he called up the thief, disputing her behaviour. She apologised and handed back the painting; but her antics had sparked an interest in him.

Now in a bizarre turn of events, they are an item – with Pete parading his new young lover backstage at Babyshambles’ recent Wembley concert.

So crazed fans; be aware. Pete has been known to take a soft spot on those who act upon their obsessions. Weird huh?

Jaggar for baby no. 8

It has been revealed that the 64 year old singer Mick Jagger is so desperate to have a baby with long term girlfriend L’Wren Scott, he has totally changed his diet. Despite the fact he already has 7 children from 4 different relationships – the oldest of which is 37 years old.

At what point do you stop and decide you are too old? I mean if Jagger is successful in his bid to become more fertile by drinking rare berry juice from the Himalayas; then by the time the kid is 15 the man will be almost 80. Not exactly the cool hands on Dad you would want as a teenager is it?

Well, I suppose it does sound like he means business. Not only has he incorporated large quantities of avocados into his diet, he drinks a glass of goji berry juice every day. The juice is nicknamed “Fruit Viagra”; and, well, I guess Mick really hopes it works at £30 per litre.

Rolling Stone CDs

No, no…don’t think the Rolling Stones are back in business. It’s about a series of music compilations that will bear the Rolling Stone name, with the agreement of the respective music magazine. Rolling stone magazine agreed to lend its name to various song selections, both new and old. The CDs will be sold along with copies of the magazine.

It’s not that the magazine doesn’t have enough publicity already or that people wouldn’t buy it otherwise, but with the vast information provided on the internet and with the ever-growing number of people world wide that would rather read about it on the net rather than buying a magazine, it’s getting more and more difficult to sell palpable press releases.
