Panic! At The Disco were playing a show in Pompano, Florida, over the weekend when frontman Brendon Urie broke his ankle on stage but he wasn’t planning on letting his fans down because he kept going through and even showed off his ankle. You can see it in the video but be warned it’s kind of vile.
TMZ reports that Brendon broke his ankle when climbing back on stage after going into the crowd, he then took his shoe off to show off the injury and said “there’s like a softball in my ankle … my left leg is done for the show, if you don’t mind … the show will go on if you’ll have us.”
When the show was over he then took to his Twitter account to post this photo of his foot all bandaged up. I have to say good on him for continuing the show but I feel a little sick after looking at the video.

It’s been revealed that Bob Dylan had to battle his way through a heroin addiction back in the early ’60s after an unheard interview with the singer was found.
Dylan’s friend, Robert Shelton, was interviewing the singer on his private plane back in March 1966 when the conversation about his heroin addiction was brought up. Here’s what the singer had to say:
“I kicked a heroin habit in New York City. I got very, very strung out for a while, I mean really, very strung out. And I kicked the habit. I had about a $25-a-day habit and I kicked it.”
Dylan then went on to speak about how that after he was labelled a genius for his music he started to feel suicidal, here’s what he said about that:
“Death to me is nothing … death to me means nothing as long as I can die fast. Many times I’ve known I could have been able to die fast, and I could have easily gone over and done it. I’ll admit to having this suicidal thing … but I came through this time. I’m not the kind of cat that’s going to cut off an ear if I can’t do something. I’m the kind of cat that would just commit suicide. I’d shoot myself in the brain if things got bad. I’d jump from a window … man, I would shoot myself. You know I can think about death, man, openly.”
According to PopEater these tapes are being used for a movie that is currently in production about Dylan’s life. I can’t say I’m really shocked by this, I mean after all what musician wasn’t strung out at some stage in their life back in the 60s and 70s?
Lady Gaga continued her hectic promotional tour and visited the”Late Show with David Letterman yesterday in New York and this is the outfit that she decided to leave the building wearing. I can’t say I’m too shocked because after all this is Lady GaGa.
In other news it seems like Amazon really wanted to get business yesterday because they decided to sell the standard version of GaGa’s new album, ‘Born This Way’, for just 99 cents yesterday and it seemed to have work because the website apparently nearly crashed when the album was released.
It’s been announced that Born This Way could sell up to a million copies in it’s first week and as we all know given the music industry now this is quite incredible. Have you listened to the album yet? What are your thoughts? I myself am loving it, even though it pains me to say it.
Most rock stars have tried to cross over into other forms of business as their careers grow whether it be acting or whatever else but there is some rock stars who realize their image might be perfect for comic books. Because of this, the Phoneix News Times have come up with a list of the 5 best comic books that rock stars brought out:
Kiss (Marvel, 1977)
There have been many Kiss comics printed since this first one, but what makes this comic the Kiss comic to have is the way it was printed: using the blood of the band members. A registered nurse drew blood from Gene Simmons, Paul Stanley, Ace Frehley, and Peter Criss (which was witnessed by a notary public), and then the blood was dumped into vats of red ink at Marvel’s Borden Ink plant. The comic features Kiss in four different stories, with guest appearances by such characters at The Avengers, Dr. Doom, and Spider-Man. Inked by Allen Milgrom (Peter Parker, the Spectacular Spider-Man; X-Factor) and written by the late Steve Gerber (co-creator of Howard the Duck), the first Kiss comic is the most collectible in rockdom. The first pressings of the 66-page comic included a concert centerfold, and to buy one today, fans will need to fork over anywhere from $100 to $150.
Gwar (Slave Pit Funnies, 1995 – 1999)
Metal band Gwar is a comic book, so it’s only fitting they printed their own comics for a while. Like the first Kiss comics, the Gwar comics feature a handful of stories in each issue, each one dealing with the band destroying something, someone, or someplace. Fans of the band will recognize the full-color artwork as that of Hunter Jackson, who (until 2002) did all the artwork for the band, in addition to making prosthetic limbs and props for the band’s stage show.
The Amory Wars (Evil Ink Comics, 2004 – present
This comic is written by Claudio Sanchez, frontman of progressive metal band Coheed and Cambria. The comic’s storyline is also the focus of the band’s concept albums. The basic premise is that there’s a struggle for power in a place called Heaven’s Fence, a collection of 78 interconnected planets. The hero is Claudio Kilgannon, and he must ultimately fight Wilhelm Ryan, ruler of Heaven’s Fence and murderer of Kilgannon’s family. While I’m a huge fan of Coheed and Cambria’s music, I couldn’t get into The Amory Wars. The artwork (by Chris Miller) is decent, and the slick, full-color pages are nice, but the traditional sci-fi plot (struggle for power on a fictional planet) didn’t pull me in. I never warmed up to the story’s hero, either, and there aren’t any intriguing, strong supporting characters to help maintain my interest, either.
Death Dealer (Verotik, 1995)
The coolest thing about the first Death Dealer series is that legendary artist Frank Frazetta (whose 1973 fantasy painting inspired the whole Death Dealer franchise) provided the covers. The worst? The stories were written by Glenn Danzig, who’s a much better punk and metal singer than comic book writer. That Frazetta didn’t give his full blessing on a Death Dealer storyline until 2007 (which Danzig had nothing to do with) is evidence of this. Danzig doesn’t deviate much from the storylines in James Silke’s Death Dealer novels — we have a lone, bad ass barbarian who wears a helmet possessed by the god of death, trying to defend his forest from Mongol-like invaders, but who uses dry, deadpan dialogue and has no points of empathy for the average Joe. The art for Danzig’s Death Dealer comics is killer (thanks to the work of folks like Simon Bisley and Liam Sharp), but the weak storyline reads like fan fiction — which it pretty much is.
The Umbrella Academy (Dark Horse Comics, 2007 – present)
My Chemical Romance singer Gerard Way created this comic, which has a layered storyline filled with interesting characters. The Umbrella Academy is a group of disbanded superheroes who were each trained from birth by an alien disguised as a human named Sir Reginald Hargreeves. Their goal was to save the world from a mysterious threat. After Hargreeves’ death, the group reunites and resumes trying to save the world. It’s not an outside-the-box plot for a comic, but Way keeps it interesting with characters like the knife-throwing Kraken and the levitating medium Séance. The artwork, by Gabriel Bá (Casanova) and James Jean (winner of seven Eisner Awards), is also stunning in its dark, surreal simplicity.
To be honest I only really knew about the KISS comics, but I thought this list was kind fun. What other comic books do you think should be up here?
Last week Lady GaGa released ‘The Edge Of Glory’ as a promotional song on iTunes and as promised now she has released another new song, ‘Hair’.
GaGa released both Hair and The Edge Of Glory as promotional singles for her album, Born This Way, but after the latter blew up the charts and went number 1 on iTunes all over the world she made it an official single.
In the song she sings “I just want to be myself and I want you to love me for who I am, I just want to be myself and I want you to know, I am my hair.”
What do you think of this song? I’m loving it already, Born This Way is shaping up to be a pretty good album so far in my opinion.
Rihanna has released her music video for her latest song, ‘California Kind Bed’, and while it’s a simple video she is looking hot as ever. Watch and judge for yourself.
The music video was directed by Anthony Mandler and it basically shows her looking hot and moody. This marks the sixth single from her album, Loud. What do you think of the video?
Lady GaGa promised fans that she would release a new song, ‘The Edge Of Glory’, today and she didn’t disappoint because here it is and I have to say I am loving it.
GaGa released the song to radio and iTunes today as part of a “countdown to Born This Way” promotion, the song is apparently inspired by the death of her Grandfather which happened in late 2010.
The album, Born This Way, will drop on May 23rd and so far it looks like it is going to be an amazing album. What do you think about the latest song?
For some odd reason Miley Cyrus decided to cover Nirvana‘s song ‘Smells Like Teen Spirit’ at a recent concert in Ecudar and you can watch it right here.
Miley dedicated the song to her little brother because she always sings it with him. I have to say it isn’t as horrific as I expected it to be. Take a listen and judge for yourself.
Jennifer Lopez has released the official music video for her latest song ‘I’m Into You’ and while Lil’ Wayne is featured on the song he is nowhere to be seen in the video.
I’m really liking this song and she looks hot in the video but seriously is the director living in a time warp or something because this video looks like it came straight from 2001 or 2002.
Last week photos from the set of Beyonce‘s new video for her new song, ‘Girls (Who Run the World)’, leaked online despite her doing her best to keep the whole thing under wraps.
Now as with everything in the music industry the song has finally leaked online although it’s unclear if this is the final version or if it’s just a demo, to me it sounds like a demo. Take a listen for yourself:
If you think you recognize music from the song then you’re right, it samples Major Lazer‘s tune ‘Pon De Floor’. As for the photos leaking online, Francis Lawrence who directed the video says she was not one bit happy. He says, “She would probably have me shot if I said anything, some stuff spilled out, but she wasn’t happy about it, so I’ve been sworn to secrecy. It is a fantastic song, so I really hope that song catches for her, and I think the video’s gonna be really fun and cool and different for her.”
What do you think about the song? I really hope it is just a demo because I’m not feeling it at all.
If you don’t know who Jessie J is then you should because she is pretty amazing and she is currently taking over the world, anyway here is her new video for her latest single ‘Nobody’s Perfect’.
Her thoughts on the video? “It’s my fave video I’ve done so far!” is what she wrote on her Twitter account and while she continues to try break it big in the USA she is set to perform on the Ellen Degeneres show tomorrow. What are your thoughts on Jessie J?
Well here it is – after promising fans that she would hook up with a huge superstar for an S&M remix, Rihanna has released the version which features Britney Spears lending her vocals to it.
When I heard about this remix I was kind of excited but after listening to it I hope I’m not the only one who is feeling pretty disappointed in it. Britney’s vocals sounds like she did it over the phone, but maybe that’s the quality. I definitely prefer the original version of the song. What’s your thoughts?
Britney Spears has released the first new video for her single ‘Till The World Ends’, the second video will be released later on today, and I must say I think it’s pretty damn good.
The video was directed by Ray Kay and this version is his cut of it, the second video will be more focused on the choreography as opposed to the apocalyptic version.
This is giving me major vibes of her Slave 4 U video, which remains her hottest video to date in my opinion. I will update this later on when the second version gets released. What do you think of the video?
As you can see above – Katy Perry and Kanye West‘s new music video for her song E.T. has just premiered and it’s pretty awesome in my opinion.
The song topped the Billboard Hot 100 yesterday makign it the fourth song from her ‘Teenage Dream’ album to hit the number 1 spot, which is the first album in over six years to have four number 1 songs from it. On the news she Tweeted “I just got off stage to AMAZING NEWS. YOU’VE MADE #ET NUMBER 1!!!! THIS IS RECORD BREAKINGLY AMAZING! That’s 4 in a row! I am in tearssss!!!”
I am in love with this song and the video as well. What’s your thoughts on it?
Yesterday it was announced that Britney Spears and Enrique Iglesias would be doing a joint tour together, I even posted the concert dates, but just hours after the announcement he pulled out and it’s now apparently because of his ego.
TMZ are reporting that the reason Enrique pulled out of the tour is because his ego couldn’t handle opening the show for Britney, despite the fact that weeks before yesterdays announcement both camps agreed it would be a co-headliner tour. Hours before the announcement was to be made Enrique went made and called up everybody telling them that he is not going to be an opening act and he was pulling out of the tour.
Meanwhile it’s been reported by Billboard that the tour is still a possibility because both sides are currently in negotiations to try get Enrique back on board, aside from his ego it seems that money is also a major factor in him pulling out. Apparently Britney is set to make a hell of a lot more money from the tour than he is.
If you do plan on going to the show, I hope you started saving straight away because the prices are absolutely outrageous, the cheapest seats start off at around $96 and go up to $346.50 without booking fees. Also it’s been rumored that Jersey Shore’s DJ Pauly D will be somehow involved with the tour.
