Kelly Osbourne hates being compared to other celebrity daughters

Email this storyPrintable version

The presenter ' who shot to fame after appearing alongside parents Sharon and Ozzy Osbourne in reality TV show 'The Osbournes' ' revealed being put in the same category as the offspring of other stars makes her 'feel sick'.

She explained: ' think for me it's just about not being classified as a 'celeb daughter'. A lot of them make me sick ' so many of them walk around with such a bratty sense of entitlement, and then people start thinking that all celebrity children are like that.

'So I hate being lumped in with that crowd of girls.'

The 25-year-old star ' who recently split with fiance Luke Worrall amid rumours he had cheated on her ' thinks having famous parents has caused her problems, as her heritage makes it difficult for her to achieve anything on her own.

She explained: 'When you're in this position, it's easy to be lazy and live off your parents, but it makes it hard for me to do something with my life, because I'm judged whatever I do.

'Anytime I achieve anything on my own, people will automatically assume it's because of my parents. I'm not victimising myself because life is hard in general and I know that I do have a fantastic one.'

Tom Meighan is a great actor

The Kasabian frontman - who previously turned down a role as a count in the Sofia Coppola-directed 'Marie Antoinette' because of his commitments to the group - will one day amaze everyone with his on-screen prowess, claims his bandmate Serge Pizzorno.

The group's guitarist, Serge Pizzorno, reckons Tom will one day surprise everyone with his acting ability, though to date he has only been offered one film role, which he had to turn down to concentrate on the group.

Of Tom's proposed role in 'Marie Antoinette', Serge said: "It is true, they wanted him to play the role. It was pretty mental. I think we'll definitely see Tom in something one day.

"He's the sort of person who'll win an Oscar one day and you'll be like, 'What?' He's great at that stuff."

Tom may have to put his film career off for a time yet, however, as he recently said he thinks Kasabian are about to peak and will be around for some time to come.

He said: "The best thing is about our band, is that we get to make a fourth album, and I think the fourth album will be our peak, and I think we'll be around for another ten or fifteen, years, we'll be around for a while."

Ronnie Wood calls in Slash, Eddie Vedder and Flea

Email this storyPrintable version

Rolling Stones guitarist Ronnie Wood offers up a guest-laden solo album.

The album will be called I Feel Like Playing, named after the painting he created for the cover art.

It's the seventh solo effort for the longtime Stone. And being a Stone has a hell of a lot of pulling power.

In addition to getting Slash, Eddie Vedder and Flea to help out, he's also got Bobby Womack, Bill Gibbons of ZZ Top and Kris Kristofferson on the record.

He's even drafted former Faces bandmate Ian McLagan in to help.

I Feel Like Playing will come out on September 27 on Eagle Records, but you can hear the track 'Thing About You' on his website http://www.ronniewood.com/album_promo.aspx

Lady Gaga says taking drugs inspired her music

Email this storyPrintable version

The 'Poker Face' singer began using illegal substances after she dropped out of a music course at New York University in 2005, and she insists getting high helped her creativity.

The 24-year-old pop star said: '[Using drugs] I really figured out the art I wanted to make and was inspired. Some people find inspiration in dark places. I guess I'm one of them.

'What always made me different is that if I was doing drugs I was also making music. I wasn't just doing drugs.'

The eccentric singer - real name Stefani Germanotta - also revealed her mother Cynthia didn't understand why she felt she needed to take drugs and was confused by her early performances.

She told Q magazine: 'At the beginning I was doing performance art in handmade leather and leopard bikinis talking about oral sex and Andy Warhol and heavy metal. My mom was like, 'You've lost your mind.' I was doing drugs, I was really out of control. But I never got so far into it that I overdosed or anything.'

However, Gaga is adamant she doesn't need drugs anymore and has toned down her wild lifestyle.

She explained: 'Once you open those doors they're open for ever. People who say they need [drugs] to be creative are full of s**t. I'm not some chick on the road getting high and f***ed up every night. I wake up, drink coffee and get on the phone to talk about the creative direction of the next video.'

The singer caused a furore recently when she admitted in a magazine interview she occasionally took cocaine.

She said: ' won't lie; it's occasional. And when I say occasional, I mean maybe a couple of times a year.'

Bob Dylan will release the 9th edition of his bootleg series in October.

'The Bootleg Series Volume 9 ' The Witmark Demos' features the first official release of 47 Dylan tracks recorded as demos for this first music publisher Leeds Music in 1962 and for his second M. Witmark & Sons between 1962 and 1964.

The collection features early versions of now classics 'Mr Tambourine Man', 'Blowin In The Wind' and 'The Times They Are A-Changing', all recorded before Dylan turned 24 years old.

15 of the songs were recorded for the demos but never made their way to Dylan albums.

As well as 'The Witmark Demos', Sony will also reissue Dylan's first eight albums in their original mono mixes as a box set. The eight albums start with the March 1962 debut self-titled album and go through to 1967's 'John Wesley Harding' record. Each disc features its own individual jacket replicated from the original artwork.

Tinchy Stryder believes girls are more obsessed with sex than men

Email this storyPrintable version

Even though guys can't seem to stop speaking about their bedroom antics, the rapper is adamant women are always thinking about lovemaking.

He said: 'Guys speak freely about sex with their mates and no one is bothered, but girls feel it's wrong to talk about it, like it's naughty. I think it's on their minds all the time.'

Although Tinchy believes ladies have sex on the brain, when it comes to relationships he says women need to trust their men more than they need to lust after them

He added to more! magazine: 'n a relationship, trust always comes first. A girl needs to trust a guy, then sex, then romance. I can always tell what girls are pure from the first time I meet someone. Some girls are only interested in the fame, but I can always work them out.'

Mike Peters and Glen Tilbrook climb Mt. Fuji for rock n roll cancer charity

Email this storyPrintable version

Mike Peters of 'The Alarm,' Donavon Frankenreiter and Matt Grundy, Glenn Tilbrook of 'Squeeze,' and Australian rocker Brien McVernon team with LoveHopeStrength.org

A collaboration of all -star musicians from around the globe are banding together for an epic musical pilgrimage to the summit of Mt. Fuji in conjunction with the Love Hope Strength (LHS) foundation, the world's largest rock n' roll cancer charity.

Leading a group of thirty cancer survivors and supporters from four continents will be Mike Peters, front man for popular Welsh band, The Alarm, Glenn Tilbrook, lead singer of internationally renowned band, Squeeze, wildly popular American pro surfer and singer-songwriter Donavon Frankenreiter and his band mate Matt Grundy, and Brien McVernon, lead singer of the Retro Rockets, a favorite in their native Australia.

The journey, taking place August 21 ' 29, will raise money and support for the international bone marrow donor registry and LHS's efforts to help people everywhere ' regardless of economic status or location ' gain access to life saving treatments. The trekkers will begin at The Fuji Sengen Shrine, where the pilgrims of over 500 years ago came to pray before they started their climb up the sacred mountain. After a two-day journey on foot, the hike will culminate with a musical ceremony at the summit. The trek will be followed by a voyage to Fuji Yoshida for the Fire Festival or 'Yoshida no Himatsuri,' an annual festival held to appease the Goddess of Mt. Fuji and mark the end of the hiking season. To learn more about the details of the Mt. Fuji voyage, click here .

For LHS, this concert marks the fourth year in a row it has brought together musicians from all walks of life to hike a global landmark as inspiration to those affected by cancer and to help those in need. Previous musical pilgrimages include Mt. Everest in Nepal, the highest concert performed on land, Mt. Kilimanjaro in Africa, Machu Picchu in Peru, Mt. Snowdon in the U.K., the Empire State Building and for the previous two years, Pikes Peak in America. Each of the thirty hikers have made a commitment to raise money for the foundation's cause, and LHS expects to raise additional funds via its website and mobile giving.

For Mike Peters, a two-time cancer survivor and LHS co-founder, this journey will be his third in the last month and the tenth musical voyage he has led. Peters recently raised money for Welsh cancer centers by leading the fourth annual hike of Mt. Snowdon in the U.K and a special hike and concert in the Rhondda Valley in mid-August. Also making a repeat performance to show solidarity in the fight against cancer are Glenn Tilbrook and Brien McVernon. The Squeeze front man has journeyed with LHS to Mt. Everest and Mt. Kilimanjaro while McVernon has been to three of four annual pilgrimages.

'Cancer is now the world's leading cause of death. This event, like others before, will drum up funds to fight the disease with something tangible and hopefully produce inspiration to many people touched by cancer,' said Mike Peters. 'The deep spiritual virtues of Mt. Fuji and the warm, wonderful Japanese culture provide an incredible setting for this journey. We are at once thankful to the Japanese people for welcoming us and excited to wave the prayer flags on peak in a tribute to the love, hope and strength we have for all those who must endure cancer in one form or another.'

"Every one on earth has been affected by cancer in one way or another so it's an honor to be part of a cause that is doing something very tangible to fight this disease. I'm really excited to hike and play music and in the process help bring awareness to everyone about the importance of bone marrow donation" said Donavon Frankenreiter.

' am very proud to be involved in my 3rd trek. Like many, I have had people close to me suffer from cancer and LHS are using vision and imagination to do some amazing things. I have been lucky enough to experience the warmth and generosity of the Japenese people and feel sure they will join me in my admiration and support of LHS' said Glenn Tilbrook

Those wishing to support Mt. Fuji Rocks or future LHS initiatives can sign a prayer flag, shop for goods or make a donation at www.lovehopestrength.org. In addition, those in the US wishing to donate can text the word LOVE to 50555 to make a $5 contribution.

Ted Nugent fined for violating hunting laws

Email this storyPrintable version

Ted Nugent, the man everyone loves to hate publicly but can't deny The Amboy Dukes were an awesome band, has been fined for violating hunting laws.

The 61 year old singer has been slapped with a $US1,750 ($AU1950) fine for failing to get a 'deer tag' signed by a government official after a kill and illegally baiting a deer.

The Nuge pleaded no contest to both misdemeanors. He was busted by California Game Wardens after the singer's TV show 'Spirit Of The Wild' showed footage of him committing the crimes.

'We looked at it and we just shook our heads, saying 'I can't believe he actually aired this episode,'" Department of Fish and Game spokesman Patrick Foy told The Sacramento Bee. 'We were all really disappointed to see this happen with a guy who is a representative of hunters.'

As I said before, everyone loves to hate the Nuge, but man the guy can play guitar:

The 16-year-old singer has offered the sportsman ' who has sons Brooklyn, 11, Romeo, seven, and Cruz, five, with wife Victoria Beckham ' a private concert in exchange for some tuition in ball control.

He told The Sun newspaper: "I am sure he would do anything to make his three boys happy and if I am their favourite artist I would happily come and put on a private show at the Beckham household.

"All I would ask for in return is that we go into his yard for an hour afterwards and he teaches me all those crazy things he can do with a soccer ball."

As well as seeking guidance from David, Justin ' who is mentored by Usher ' recently revealed he would like lessons in love from Cheryl Cole and Katy Perry.

He said: 'Maybe they could coach me and tell me how to work out which girls are the good ones. That would be pretty awesome. I would like to invite the two of them out for dinner so they can tell me the best way to win a woman like them.'

Peter Andre has an amicable relationship with Katie Price

Email this storyPrintable version

The 'Behind Closed Doors' singer ' who has children Junior, five, and Princess Tiaamii, three, with the glamour model ' is relieved he is no longer on bad terms with his former spouse and they are now able to be civil to one another for the sake of their two kids and Harvey, Katie's eight-year-old son from a previous relationship.

He said: 'After flying back from our trip to Australia, I dropped the kids off at Katie's on the way home from the airport and it was really nice as I got to hang out with Harvey while Kate caught up with Junior and Princess. He was showing me all the drawings he's been doing ' he's really got into it lately.

'Things are amicable between Kate and me at the moment and I'm really keen to keep it this way for the sake of the children. It's weird having been with the kids solidly for three weeks and now not seeing them for another three, but that's the deal and we have to share them.'

Peter also revealed his young son Junior has become a fan of teen pop sensation Justin Bieber - but he can't get his name right.

He wrote in his column for new! magazine: 'While we were in Australia, he really got into Justin Bieber, but he calls him Justin Beaver. I keep telling him that's not his name, but he won't have it.'

Katie and Peter separated in May 2009 and their divorce was finalised in October that year.

The brunette beauty is now married to cage fighter Alex Reid, while Peter is still single.

Zach Galifianakis To Star In E-Mail Faux Pas Comedy ‘Reply All’Alice Cooper launches Roundhouse shows and London Dungeon auditions

N-Dubz, The Wanted, Jason Derulo and Mark Ronson confirmed as first acts for T4s Stars of 2010

Email this storyPrintable version

The stars will be out in force as T4's Stars of 2010 returns for a second year on Sunday 21st November. Today Channel 4 can exclusively reveal the first members of the stellar line-up who will be hitting the stage at Earls Court.

The first act to be announced is Camden's dynamite trio and T4 favourites N-Dubz. They have had another great year with tunes including 'Playing With Fire' and 'We Dance On' and now they are going to top it all off by celebrating the year in style with a fantastic performance in front of thousands of T4 fans.

They've been causing mass hysteria everywhere they go and now boyband of the moment The Wanted, will be hoping to do the same when they take to the stage at T4's Stars of 2010. The boys stormed to the top of the charts with 'All Time Low' and are already planning to pull out all the stops to get the crowd screaming at the event.

R&B king Jason Derulo will show off his silky smooth moves (and hopefully his six pack) following his shirt-ripping performance at T4 On The Beach. The singer made a big impression on the charts this year reaching number one with 'In My Head' and the top three with 'Whatcha Say' and 'Ridin Solo'. His videos have racked up an amazing 175 million views on YouTube making him the 20th Most Viewed musician of all time on the site - but that's still not as exciting as getting the whole of Earls Court singing his name!

DJ and producer Mark Ronson will be performing with his new band Mark Ronson & The Business Intl and he's guaranteed to get the crowd jumping. Fresh from mixing it up in Ibiza, Ronson is looking forward to showing the T4 crowd just why he means Business.

And get ready to hear Earls Court erupt as JLS will be turning up the heat as they unleash their moves on the T4 stage. The boys performed at T4's Stars of 2009 last year and have continued to dominate the UK chart ever since with hit after hit including 'One Shot' and Number One single 'The Club Is Alive'.

Tickets for the event are on sale now and not content with banishing the winter blues with a massive music event, Channel 4 is also offering a special discount until 31st August, with ticket prices between £33 - £35 which can be bought from the T4 website (www.channel4.com/t4).

Ryan Seacrest has asked Julianne Hough to move in with him

Email this storyPrintable version

The 'American Idol' host recently met his 22-year-old girlfriend's family at a birthday party for her sister Katherine and is now keen to make a commitment in their relationship.

A source said: 'He's not afraid to take things to the next level. Everyone is shocked by how fast things are moving.'

Julianne is smitten with Ryan and loves his romantic ways, which included him recently paying for her entire hotel suite to be covered in orchids, pansies and roses.

The source told InTouch Weekly magazine: 'There were rose petals in the Jacuzzi, bouquets all over the floor, flowers on the coffee table, and petals all over her bed.

'The gesture was beautiful and made Julianne's heart melt.'

Last weekend, the couple made a rare public appearance, driving round Los Angeles in Ryan's Aston Martin convertible, before stopping for lunch at the Four Seasons Hotel's poolside Cabana restaurant.

One onlooker said: "It was warm and beautiful outside and the couple cruised with the top down on the car.

'Ryan and Julianne looked very happy together and even held hands in the car. Ryan was laughing and seemed very smitten with Julianne.

"Julianne didn't seem to mind that Ryan got attention in the restaurant, and instead acted supportive and waited by his side until he finished greeting his fans.'

Email this storyPrintable version

Portico Quartet play a special two day residency at the ICA in December and they have invited fearlessly inventive folktronica whiz Leafcutter John to join them on Friday 3rd and trumpeter Ibrahim Maalouf on Saturday 4th.

Electronica meets 21st century-jazz in Portico Quartet's melodic, rhythmic music that mixes the inspiration of Philip Glass and Steve Reich with a very contemporary kind of jazz improv. It's the blend of ethereal saxophone, splattering electronics, otherworldly Hang, clattering drums and earthy

double-bass that gives their music it's unique sound.. Their hook-laden, darkly atmospheric post-jazz has pushed them to the forefront of the contemporary music scene and their inimitable sound that has been compared to Radiohead, E.S.T and The Cinematic Orchestra amongst others.

Friday 3rd December - Portico Quartet + Leafcutter John

Intrepidly innovative Leafcutter John is a multi-talented musician, songwriter, remixer, and member of avant-jazz collective Polar Bear, he melds found and processed sounds with acoustic instrumentals into a seamless and haunting mix. "Alongside Aphex Twin and Bogdan Raczynski ' he's one of the UK's most fearlessly inventive electronicists.' (Time Out)

Saturday 4th December ' Portico Quartet + Ibrahim Maalouf

French/Lebanese trumpeter Ibrahim Maalouf combines jazz and classical Arabic music. Haunting, melancholic and subtle his sound flows between cultures.

Athlete best of album and tour dates

Email this storyPrintable version

There is a lot more to Athlete than meets the eye. The South London quartet are known for their hooks, harmonies and soaring rock anthems. But the band's first retrospective album, 'Singles 01-10', also celebrates their impressive breadth and diversity.

Spanning the past decade, the collection features all of their big anthems. It includes 'El Salvador' and 'Westside', from Mercury-nominated debut album, 'Vehicles & Animals', plus the Ivor Novello Award-winning, 'Wires', from 2005's chart-topping, 'Tourist'. There are also tracks that reveal a different side to the band, notably, 'The Outsiders' (which climaxes with a long, decidedly radio-unfriendly piano outro) and 'Black Swan Song' (a vividly poignant piece that would tug at the strings of the hardest heart).

The band have even unearthed a previously unreleased gem of a song for the occasion. 'Back Track' was originally earmarked as a single in 2003, but ended up failing to make the final cut on their first album. Now, though, it has been gloriously resurrected from the tape-room, with the band taking the novel approach of using only the equipment available to them nine years ago to finally finish recording it.

As singer and guitarist Joel Pott attests, Athlete have always refused to be pigeonholed. 'People want you to fit in with a scene,' he says. 'But we never wanted to be part of anything like that.'

Singles 01-10 will be available as a 2 CD package with exclusive stories and memories written by the band.

Catch the band live on the following UK dates.

Justin Timberlake thinks body odour is sexy

Email this storyPrintable version

The singer-and-actor - who is dating actress Jessica Biel and has previously romanced Cameron Diaz and Britney Spears ' loves the natural smell of a woman, so long as it isn't too overpowering.

He told Cosmopolitan magazine: 'Some people say BO (body odour) can be an aphrodisiac and I agree. It depends on the body the odour is coming from. It's a long-term intimate thing.

'You don't want it to be the first thing you smell when she comes into the room. It's about layers ' layers meant to be discovered.'

The 'SexyBack' singer also likes women to wear perfume that smells of sweet food as floral scents can be overpowering.

He added: 'Men like scents that have more to do with food than roses. Something subtle and not too loud or overt.

'A woman doesn't need something whimsical to be sexy ' smart is sexy. Sleek is sexy.'

Robbie Williams has got married

Email this storyPrintable version

The 36-year-old singer tied the knot with long-term partner Ayda Field in an intimate ceremony at the couple's Beverly Hills home at 5pm yesterday (07.08.10).

Robbie's delighted father Pete Conway said: 'At last, Rob is happy. That's what you want for your kids and this is the happiest I've seen him. Ayda is so beautiful and so delightful and so lovely and just so right for him. They are brilliant together."
The wedding had been shrouded in mystery, with friends only told of the couple's wedding plans a few days ago and the venue changed at the last minute from the island of Catalina to their Los Angeles house amid security concerns.

A friend of the couple said: 'The 'save-the-date' cards that went out two weeks ago only said it was a party to celebrate Robbie's 20 years in showbusiness.

't was only in the last few days that news leaked out that it was going to be a wedding. Robbie is the happiest I have ever seen him.

'He says that until Ayda came along he didn't know what it was like to be truly happy. He credits her with teaching him how to learn to laugh and love again.'

According to reports, the 30-minute ceremony was followed by a sit-down dinner and dancing, but it is believed alcohol was banned from the couple's big day at the request of Robbie, who has previously battled alcoholism and drug addiction.

Robbie's father Pete and mum Jan Williams flew out for the ceremony, while the 31-year-old actress' mother also attended, but not her estranged dad.

The singer's best friend Jonathan Wilkes was also a guest at the wedding, but his Take That bandmates ' Gary Barlow, Mark Owen, Jason Orange and Howard Donald ' were not there as they had prior vacation commitments.

Michael Eavis has revealed that he's already booked two headliners for next year's Glastonbury Festival but has stopped short of revealing who they are.

Speaking to the BBC, the organiser said he was "absolutely thrilled" with the two acts, but wouldn't be drawn on their identity. He did, however, confirm that he's asked U2 to play the Friday night, but he has yet to hear back from them. Bono and co were, of course, due to headline the Pyramid Stage this year but had to withdraw when the singer injured his back.

"Although it is very good to get headline artists, like Stevie Wonder and Muse, that's not the whole story," explained the farmer. "There's a lot more going on at Glastonbury and that's why we're so popular."

He also revealed that Muse had asked him to join the band on stage to sing John Lennon's 'Imagine', but later changed their minds.

Lauren Pope comes to the rescue of Britney Spears

UK Glamour Model-turned-top DJ Lauren Pope has stepped up to the rescue of Britney Spears after a disastrous appearance that showed her once fawned-over locks looking considerably worse for wear.

Her hair looked to be in a bad way in pictures released early last week, but kindly Lauren has sent the US pop star a set of her own brand hair extensions.

After the story broke on Twitter, Lauren was amazingly then approached by ex-adult star Jenna Jameson, the latest in a long list of star names signing up to Lauren's Hair Rehab.

Lauren, 26, started up her company during her appearance on ITV1's reality show Tycoon in 2008. She finished fourth but was continued to be mentored by Dragon Peter Jones and her business has grown to a size even she never dreamed of.

She said: "It's such an amazing feeling to know that all my hard work is now paying off, I've been building Hair Rehab London for the past two years and to now see that A-Listers are hearing about it gives me butterflies of
excitement especially when it's celebs that I'm a huge fan of.

"Through my DJ work i recently met Katie Price after Djing at her hen who also owns some Hair Rehab extensions. I also have the help of Peter Jones of Dragons Den who is my business partner and a really great source of information on the business side of things...but he's not such an expert when it comes to hair extensions!"

Lindsay Lohan has been released from prison

Email this storyPrintable version

The 'Mean Girls' actress left the Century Regional Detention Facility in Lynwood, California, at around 1.35am this morning (02.08.10) after serving just 13 days of a 90-day sentence, a spokesperson for the Los Angeles County Sherriff's Department has confirmed.

The 24-year-old star was taken straight to the UCLA Medical Center to begin her court-ordered 90-day rehab stint.

Lindsay had originally been due to enter Morningside Recovery rehab centre in Newport Beach, California, but Judge Marsha Revel changed her treatment destination to UCLA amid concerns information about her treatment would be leaked to the public.

It has been claimed Lindsay will be isolated from her family during her stay in the rehab facility ' a move which has been blasted as 'stupid' by her estranged father Michael Lohan.

He told RadarOnline.com: 't is beyond a reasonable doubt stupid. Part of Lindsay's healing process is mending fences with her family.'

Lindsay was sentenced to 90 days in prison and 90 days in rehab last month after violating the terms of probation set from her 2007 driving under the influence (DUI) conviction.

Eminem thinks about his own death 'a lot'

Email this storyPrintable version

The 'We Made You' rapper ' who has famously battled an addiction to prescription drugs ' often thinks about his own passing when he is in bed but admits it 'creeps' him out.

He said: 'Do I think about my own death? Yeah, I do. A lot. I think about it a lot. I try not to think about it but I do and it creeps me the f**k out! When I lay in bed at night is when I think about it the most.'

Recalling a time when he was hospitalised at the height of his drug addiction, Eminem added to Vibe magazine: 't creeps me out because they say that if I got to the hospital two hours later then I would be gone. I think about that a lot.'

The rapper ' real name Marshall Mathers ' also revealed how easy it was for him to obtain illegal prescriptions from doctors overawed by his celebrity status.

The hip-hop star - who checked into a rehabilitation centre in 2005 to be treated for an addiction to prescription pills - explained: 't's one of those things where you're famous, doctors will kiss you're a*s because they love the celebrity. 'Oh, I can call up Eminem and get him on the phone right now. Oh, hi Marshall, how are you doing? Do you need that prescription?'

'There are doctors that will give you certain things just because of who you are.'

Eminem also spoke of his shock at his '8 Mile' co-star Brittany Murphy's death in December, admitting he thinks there is an epidemic of tragedy currently sweeping Hollywood.

He said: 't was crazy. It's crazy. It's crazy because at one point we were very close and she was a really good person. It's crazy when you see things not just with her but just all these things that are happening in Hollywood with people in music, with people in acting, famous people. Famous people are overdosing at alarming rates and - that almost sounded like a commercial. Wow.'

It is currently being mixed and will be printed next week. She plans to sell it during the duo's forthcoming August/September tour of Australia.

He said: 'When you get older you're not as horny as you were when you were young and that's a fact.

'There's got to be an upside to growing old and that side of my life is not important any more, like it was.

He added in an interview with The Sun newspaper: 'With getting older, time is getting shorter and that's the problem.

't's a fact. I don't know how long I can go on. It's not like when I was 50. But I'm not going to moan about it because I'm still singing and I'm still doing it and it's hasn't affected me yet.'
