pink floyd deny ed sheeran at olympic closing ceremony

Pink Floyd deny Ed Sheeran duet at Olympics closing ceremony
 

Pink Floyd have denied Ed Sheeran's claim that he will duet with the rock legends at the closing ceremony of the London 2012 Olympic Games.

The "+" singer had been rumoured to be joining The Who at the August 12 ceremony, but told Australian radio station Nova that he will in fact be playing with Pink Floyd.

Asked if he was playing, the singer said: "I'm playing the closing ceremony - which I think is kinda cool right? A lot of people think that I'm doing a song with The Who but I'm not - I'm doing a song with Pink Floyd. I'm doing 'Wish You Were Here'."

However, a statement from the band issued shortly afterwards reads: "In response to press speculation, Pink Floyd state that the band is NOT performing at the Closing Ceremony of the London 2012 Olympic Games."

The surviving members of Pink Floyd last performed together in 2011 when David Gilmour and Nick Mason joined Roger Waters onstage to play "Outside The Wall" during his headline show at London's O2 Arena.

The line-up for the closing ceremony, which will celebrate 50 years of British music, is being kept a closely guarded secret, with only The Who, Kaiser Chiefs, Take That, George Michael and Emeli Sande reportedly confirmed so far.

bjork and david attenborough to make music documentary
Bjork and David Attenborough team up for music documentary
 

Bjork and legendary broadcaster David Attenborough have teamed up for a music documentary.

Attenborough And Bjork: The Nature Of Music looks at the evolution of music, our relationship with music and how technology could impact this relationship in the future.

Directed by Louise Hooper, the film is set to be broadcast on Channel 4 in the UK, reports Hollywood Reporter.

It has been made by Pulse Films – who were also behind the Blur film No Distance Left To Run. The film's executive producer, Lucas Ochoa, has said of the documentary: "Born from Bjork's revolutionary music project [2011's 'Biophilia'] we are thrilled to be able to document this incredible journey with her; she is undeniably one of the most iconic figures in popular culture and truly pushes boundaries like no other artist does".

Bjork's multi-media 'Biophilia' project will feature strongly in the film, and Attenborough will show how music exists in the natural world, using footage of the lyre bird, reed warbler and blue whales.

Bjork and Attenborough collaborated last year, as the BBC presenter and naturalist provided an introduction and narration to Bjork's three-week Manchester International Festival residency, her first UK shows in three years. Bjork declared her admiration for Attenborough since childhood in a Rolling Stone interview, describing him as "my rock star".

blink 182 confirm at soundwave 2013

Blink-182 Confirmed For Soundwave 2013

by ANDREW TIJS 

Soundwave promoter AJ Maddah has tweeted that all three members of pop-punk heroes Blink-182 will be in Australia in 2013.

Overnight, the controversial promoter tweeted that he had confirmed “MARK + TOM + TRAVIS. Yes, TRAVIS. #SW13 #BLINK182”.

Following a horrific air crash in 2008, drummer Travis Barker has been reluctant to fly and has previous tweeted that Mark and Tom might visit Australia with a different drummer.

But, after “7 years of begging”, Maddah has all three of them for “all 5 Soundwaves” next year. He said there will “hopefully” be Sidewave shows for the band.

He also tweeted that he’s “seriously confident” that punk icons Rancid will be here for Soundwave 2014.

A full announcement happens next Wednesday.
