Lionel Richie is teaming up with Tickets-for-Charity to offer fans some of the best seats in the house to benefit important charitable causes.
“I’m so lucky to have the collection of songs that I can play for my fans, it becomes a giant sing-along most nights,” said Lionel. “People always ask me, ‘what are you going to sing tonight, Lionel?’ And I always laugh and reply, ‘what are YOU going to sing tonight?'”

Motley Crue's Final Tour Sells Out Nine Shows
By GalaTView staff
Just days after tickets for iconic rock ‘n’ roll band MOTLEY CRUE’s The Final Tour went on sale, eight shows have sold out. The band has also added a Nov. 8 date at Joe Louis Arena in Detroit, Mich. due to overwhelming demand. Tickets for the Joe Louis Arena show will go on sale Saturday, Feb. 15 at 10:00 a.m. local time.
The sold out shows are:
Aug. 9 – Clarkston, MI (DTE Energy Music Theatre)
Aug. 10 – Toronto, ON (Molson Canadian Amp)
Oct. 7 – Hollywood, FL (Hard Rock Live)
Oct. 25 – Atlantic City, NJ (Borgata Events Center)
Oct. 26 – Uncasville, CT (Mohegan Sun Arena)
Nov. 15 – St. Paul, MN (XCEL Energy Center)
Nov. 16 – Fargo, ND (FargoDome)
Nov. 18 – Edmonton, AB (Rexall Place)
Nov. 19 – Calgary, AB (Scotiabank Saddledome)
MOTLEY CRUE announced The Final Tour and the band’s ultimate retirement, solidified when the band signed a formal Cessation Of Touring Agreement, effective at the end of 2015, in front of global media in Los Angeles on Jan. 28. Celebrating the announcement of The Final Tour, the band performed on ABC’s “Jimmy Kimmel Live” later that night and appeared on “CBS This Morning” on Jan. 29.
With over 80 million albums sold, MOTLEY CRUE has sold out countless tours across the globe and spawned more than 2,500 MOTLEY CRUE branded items, sold in over 30 countries. MOTLEY CRUE has proven they know how to make a lasting impression and this tour will be no different. Fans can expect to hear the catalogue of their chart-topping hits and look forward to mind-blowing, unparalleled live production. “When it comes to putting together a new show, we always push the envelope and that’s part of Motley Crue’s legacy,” explains Nikki Sixx (bass). “As far as letting on to what we’re doing, that would be like finding out what you’re getting for Christmas before you open the presents. We think in an age of too much information, we’d like to keep some surprises close to our chest until we launch The Final Tour.”
MOTLEY CRUE tours are not only box office successes but artistically have set the bar for production and entertainment value. “There’s no arguing that Motley Crue have been and always will be the definitive bad boys of rock ‘n’ roll,” but behind all those notorious stories is a legendary rock band that has revolutionized heavy metal and created some of the biggest hits in music history. They are a hugely successful global brand and a touring powerhouse. Everyone at Live Nation has a tremendous amount of respect for these hard-working and extremely talented gentlemen. The music industry will never have another Motley Crue.”
Fans can look forward to very special guest ALICE COOPER joining MOTLEY CRUE for an incredible package; Alice invented the rock ‘n’ roll genre and MOTLEY CRUE put steroids in it! “Real hard rock bands are hard to find these days,” said Alice. “Motley has always gone on stage with one attitude and that’s to blow the audience away. That’s exactly how we do it. Putting Motley Crue and Alice Cooper together is going to be just what this summer really NEEDS. We’re going to go out there and tear it up, and I can’t wait to see Motley on stage. Motley Crue and Alice Cooper—a match made in…Armageddon?”
The band will not tour after this final tour. Band attorney Doug Mark of Mark Music & Media Law explains: “Other bands have split up over rancor or the inability of people to get along, but this is mutual among all four original members and a peaceful decision to move on to other endeavors and to confirm it with a binding agreement.” Vince Neil, Nikki Sixx, Tommy Lee and Mick Mars will go their separate ways after the lengthy two-year touring cycle. Tommy Lee (drums) explains: “Everything must come to an end!! We always had a vision of going out with a big f***king bang and not playing county fairs and clubs with one or two original band members! Our job here is done!!!” Of the band’s tumultuous history, Mick Mars (guitar) adds: “(It has been) more drama than ‘General Hospital;’ it keeps ’em watchin’ and they keep comin’ back.” Vocalist, Vince Neil says of the Finality of the tour: “I’ll miss playing with the guys, but I won’t quit playing rock ‘n’ roll!! I feel there are a lot of great opportunities and exciting projects after Motley.”
Mötley Crüe announces their last performance
Mötley Crüe is hanging it up after three hard-rocking decades but now the band — Vince Neil, Mick Mars, Nikki Sixx andTommy Lee — helped put the hair in metal and the glam in rock. In the 33 years they’ve been together, they’ve been to prison. It’s really sad for many of their fans.
Ian Watkins of Lostprophets accepted he was a 'determined and committed paedophile'
The former lead singer of the rock band Lostprophets was sentenced Wednesday to 29 years in jail, with a British judge saying that Ian Watkins had “plumbed new depths of depravity” in committing a string of sexual offenses against very young children.
Watkins, 36, pleaded guilty last month to 13 charges, including trying to rape a baby, sexually touching a 1-year-old, encouraging a fan to abuse her child and making child pornography.

George Harrison was a good brother until his last days
Family members often worry more about taking care of acquaintances and friends as they do their own flesh and blood. However this is not the case for Louise Harrison, 82, still works to support herself. She currently manages a Beatles tribute band called the “Liverpool Legends,” who frequently perform at the Andy Williams Moon River Theatre in Branson, Missouri. In this case her concern was related to the termination of her pension that doesn’t always have to involve large sums of money. Now she sees the positive in her situation. She is an admirable and strong woman.
One Direction released a personal music video with “Story of My Life”
Since there is no limit to the stats One Direction fans will collect about their favorite fivesome, Directioners are really going to eat up the very personal just-released music it for “Story of My Life.” He is the most shy and emotional one in the band methinks, even though he pretends to be the opposite.
Eros Ramazzotti will make his Greek Theatre debut on October 17th
Cortesy Greek Theatre
Roman singer, Eros Ramazzotti will make his Greek Theatre debut on October 17th with his “Noi World Tour 2013”. Selling out venues across four continents, Eros will make his only West Coast appearance in Los Angeles.
Selling more than 50 million records, Eros signed a new recording contract with Universal Music Group in 2011. With Universal Music Group, he released the single “Un Angelo disteso al sole”, and in 2012 the worldwide release of “NOI”, the first solo album made with Universal Music: the album reached number 1 on iTunes in 17 countries around the world.
On January 1, 2013 Rai 2 devoted a long prime time special to Eros Ramazzotti that covered his entire career, “public-private” and showed, for the first time, images from the live event of November 10, 2012 from which the Roman artist had premiered the album “NOI”, to the fans and the international press in Rome in “his Cinecittà”.
Rap stars are not the same than Wrapers
The record labels fabricate these “rap stars” and groups, and all their songs are professionally written by someone else so Usher, Mark Wahlberg, Run-D.M.C. and more slapped with Copyright Infringement Lawsuit.
Miley Cyrus finally with a new album
Miley Cyrus had a chance to grow into a classy, sophisticated artist so Bangerz is the Miley Cyrus’s fourth album due out on Oct. 8. The 13-song record (16 on the deluxe version) is packed tight with hit records. Even she represents the side of the “industry” that says you have to conform to make it the last decision is taken by you as a listener of this music. Enjoy or destroy are your only choices!
