Pete Doherty plays at fans wake
Posted in Pete Doherty, Rocker on the July 20, 2008
Babyshambles frontman Pete Doherty was so upset at the news of the death of a fan recently that he came to the wake and played for his fan`s friends.
16-year old Daniel Squires from South Tyneside died from bone cancer on July 4. Doherty had met him backstage at one of his concerts.
Pete went to the funeral and then later to the pub where the wake took place. He joined Daniel`s pals on stage and gave a musical tribute to his fan.
Pete`s dad Mark reported that after they first met, Pete gave Daniel his mobile number and said he could call him whenever he wanted.
Eminem Back from the Dead
Posted in Album Release, Eminem, Rapper on the July 20, 2008
Don’t call it a comeback just yet. Reports are saying that Eminem is about to begin working on his first new album since 2004. A protégé of Slim Shady’s, Bishop Lamont, says that Em is working on the project and that he’s apparently “got a lot to get off his chest”. He says that Em was “emotionally devastated” after his rapper friend Proof was killed in 2006. Lamont says “He went through what he had to go through, and now he’s been able to take all the pain and stress and put it out in his music.” There’s no news yet on when the album will be released. After all this time that he’s been gone, I can definitely wait a couple more decades.
Kanye’s Ghost
Posted in Blog, Kanye West, Rapper on the July 20, 2008
Kanye West was recently accused of hiring a ghost writer to post blog entries for him on his official blog. The accuser claims “I know you don’t really believe Kanye West updates his blog several times a day while chasing skirts and displaying his astounding ignorance all over the world? Hopefully you’re not that naive. Sure Kanye wrote that one outburst on his blog, but no, he doesn’t find all those neat gadgets or post those videos and photos from the road. Someone else does all that for him.” The rapper retaliated with a blog of his own and cheekily posted pictures of himself looking at the very blog entry he posted.
