U2, George Michael & Elton John to play Sunderland (NOT)
Spotted: George Michael and Elton John dueting in Houghton. At first glance it seemed some of music’s biggest names had arrived on Wearside.
On closer inspection, it appears the superstars aren’t all they seem, but rather tribute acts preparing for a special concert.
George and Elton will be joined by the likes of David Bowie, U2, Queen, Status Quo and Dire Straits in a recreation of rock concert Live Aid. The event is being staged at Rainton Meadows Arena, Houghton, to commemorate 25 years since Bob Geldof wowed the world with his fund-raising event for famine relief in Ethiopa.
This time round, Tribute 2live Aid is being organised by County Durham businessman John Birkett in aid of Macmillan Nurses. “I’ve been sat thinking about it for the past year,” he explained. “I knew the 25th anniversary was coming up, but no one had mentioned doing anything to mark it.
“I have an entertainments agency which specialises in tribute acts and I have the best of the best on my books.”
John, owner of Idol Entertainments, added: “When Rainton Meadows Arena was refurbished I was invited along to the opening event and I just thought it was a cracking venue to host an event.”
Like the original Live Aid concert, John’s event will be staged over the course of a day with Status Quo tribute, Counterfeit Quo, following in their idols’ footsteps and opening the show at midday.
Nine acts will then perform until the show closes at 11pm. John said: “Live Aid was a huge event. Unfortunately I couldn’t get a ticket, but like everyone else I was glued to the TV for the memorable day
“We have replicated Status Quo opening the show, but these artists will be on for a full set from 50 minutes to an hour. It’s an ambitious project and I haven’t slept since it started but it will be worth it.”
The businessman says the charity the event will raise money for is a cause close to his heart.
“I lost my mam with breast cancer when she was 55 and I was 22 and my sister is going through cancer as we speak. The Macmillan Nurses have been a great help which is why I chose them.”
U2 Announcement Monday
U2 Announcement Monday based on a rumor that reads very interesting -
“Pues este lunes tendremos la fecha de lanzamiento del dvd de pasadena y los formatos en los que saldra, se rumorea que solo saldra en dvd(tres versiones distintas)porque al introducirlo en el ordenador tendremos acceso a un codigo para descargar varias canciones nuevas en formato audio/video y que habra dentro de poco(abril/mayo) una promo en directo para dar a conocer dichas canciones. “
“Monday we will have the release date of the dvd pasadena and formats that will go forth, is rumored to be only coming to DVD (three different versions) because the computer will enter an access code to download new songs in various format audio / video and that there will soon (April / May) a live promo to raise awareness of those songs.”
We have also spotted this post on twitter -
“U2 360° At The Rose Bowl” is the official name of the DVD, & the release date will be announced on Monday.”
At this point it seems possible that we could see a release annoucement on Monday, whats interesting is that the idea of releasing new songs within the DVD package. Great marketing idea.
For now enjoy a video and lets wait and see
Bono Sucks at ?
Bono Editor Comments: With the boys not on tour right now. No PR machine in full swing right not the media has a chance to take some shots at Bono, The Edge, The music and the fans. This past week we have had a chance to watch this play out all week. Lets turn on our PR machine this week. How about the fans comment something postive about the group. Your choice either here within the comment section or on facebook, and of course twitter. I bet once the boys hit the road, all of this type of press turns the corner. How about you create your own video comment and post it to the Facebook fan page.
By the way this gives us a chance try out a new idea that we will launch over the next coupl of weeks. Send in your video today.
Bono, the Irish rock star, is being hailed as “the worst investor in America” as his five person investment team Elevation Partners reels from a series of unprofitable investments. It’s believed that the rocker has lost millions by investing with Elevation, although a precise figure has yet to be released. What’s certain is that the U2 front man has put significant money into Elevation, which investment trade papers are calling arguably the worst run institutional fund of any size in the United States.
Bono is listed as one of the five members of the firm’s investment team, and their fund claims that its “mission is to help media and entertainment businesses develop and market great content.” But in the process it has made an unprecedented string of disastrous investments which, observers say, even bad luck could not explain. The most well-known of the Elevation investments is in Palm, which made an unsuccessful stab at the smartphone business dominated by Apple’s iPhone, and handsets powered by the Google mobile operating system known as Android. Investors had hoped that Palm’s new line of Pre handsets would allow the company to be a modest competitor in the smart phone industry but instead it has spent massive amounts for very slim returns and remains in trouble as it tries to reach even fairly modest sales goals.
Elevation was recently quoted in Reuters saying that it still has faith in Palm, a company in which it bought a 25% stake in 2007. It is astonishing, say Wall Street observers, that Elevation would publicly say it still has faith in a company which is close to non-existence. Whitney Tilson, managing partner of T2 Partners, a New York-based hedge fund, recently told MarketWatch in reference to Palm, “There is a 90% chance that they go bankrupt or get acquired within a year.”

U2 Continues To Say FU
Editor Comment: Remember we share whats reported, someimes its not as wonderful as we think. This story seems to take digs at the lack of local support, however sometimes you have to pick your battle to win the war. Not everyone can be focused on everything. So from our view point “Think Global, Act Local” sounds great however sometimes thats not always as easy as it suggests.
Even though U2 is known for campaigning on behalf of environmental issues, they don’t seem to give a rat’s behind for local communities. Last year in Dublin, they blasted the city’s residents out of their homes, exceeding the maximum level of safe decibels over 12 times during the concert. Tour promoters were fined over £33,000, but nothing has changed for U2, they continue to put on excessively loud and lavish outdoor stage shows, even within city neighborhoods.
Now the U2 guitarist (David Evans) – has purchased 156 acres of land in the exclusive Sierra Canyon district of Malibu, California, and he wants to build a five-home development there which is against local zoning ordinances.
“I believe most of the local opposition is softening as I communicate my intentions of how these homes will collectively compliment the landscape,” he said. “There is a small group of locals who are very vocal and simply want to stop all development of any kind.”
However, Malibu Mayor Pro Tem Jefferson Wagner insisted the development would be out of character for the area.
“This is not what Malibu is about,” said Wagner. “These kinds of places are ego run riot.”
The Edge will now have to put his case to the California Coastal Commission in June, where he hopes officials will allow his plans to go ahead.
