				<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Boy band Blue have announced an upcoming UK tour, set to take place across April and May of 2024. The tour has been named the <em>Greatest Hits Tour</em>, and will have a 13 date run.</p>
<p>Band member Duncan James addressed the news on <em>Good Morning Britain </em>(which he currently presents), <a href="https://www.nme.com/news/music/blue-announce-career-spanning-greatest-hits-tour-for-2024-3527632">saying</a>, &#8220;<em>I have some great news that won’t leave you feeling Blue because we are putting on a special tour.</em>&#8221; He added, &#8220;<em>there’s been a lot happening in the last two decades,</em>&#8221; ensuring fans that many exciting stories from Blue&#8217;s expansive career would be coming their way.</p>
<p>The tour will celebrate the band&#8217;s 25th anniversary, with the setlist promising to contain the best material from their six studio albums. On <em>Good Morning Britain</em>, James <a href="https://www.standard.co.uk/culture/music/blue-2024-tour-london-tickets-dates-b1115401.html">said</a>, &#8220;<em>We could put your city in lockdown when we fly by on a low ride very soon.</em>&#8221;</p>

<p>The group took to Twitter to share their excitement, also referencing their iconic noughties tracks, &#8220;<em>All Rise</em>&#8221; and &#8220;<em>Fly By</em>.&#8221;</p>
<blockquote class="twitter-tweet">

				<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Post-grunge rock band Bush have announced a career spanning greatest hits album, covering arguably, their most defining and successful era beginning in 1994. The band have also released a new single, <em>&#8220;Nowhere To Go But Everywhere&#8221;</em> to accompany the announcement.<br />
<iframe style="border: none; overflow: hidden;" src="https://www.facebook.com/plugins/post.php?href=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.facebook.com%2FBUSHOfficial%2Fposts%2Fpfbid0gwnm3HzWkx3HgyrFmAaAW2XjwGw3rLLtwdggPpf79N7HL64WcuHPMBAHNUL12MHol&amp;show_text=true&amp;width=500" width="500" height="505" frameborder="0" scrolling="no" allowfullscreen="allowfullscreen"></iframe><br />
Bush are set to release a new greatest hits collection, spanning the entirety of their more than 30 years on the rock scene. The album, titled <em>Loaded: The Greatest Hits 1994-2023</em>, will be released on 10 November and coincide with the 30th anniversary of their monumental debut record, <em>Sixteen Stone</em>. Containing 21 hit songs, the album will feature the new &#8220;<em>Nowhere To Go But Everywhere&#8221;</em> written and co-produced by frontman Gavin Rossdale.</p>
<p>Rossdale <a href="https://www.kerrang.com/bush-share-nowhere-to-go-but-everywhere-announce-new-greatest-hits-compilation">said</a> of the new album and landmark, <em>&#8220;I’m really grateful that I get the chance to make music after all of this time. The privilege is not lost on me. I’m still in the octagon, and I think that’s healthy because I’m good at fighting.&#8221;</em><br />
<iframe title="YouTube video player" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/hOllF3TgAsM?si=ozfBFjw2R7epZfVn" width="560" height="315" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen="allowfullscreen"></iframe><br />
The Grammy nominated outfit have selected tracks from all of their nine studio albums including smash hits <em>&#8220;Everything Zen,&#8221;</em> <em>&#8220;Machinehead&#8221;</em> and <em>&#8220;Glycerine&#8221;</em> from <em>Sixteen Stone.</em> Bush will also be heading out on a North American headlining tour  to celebrate their 31 years as a band, beginning in November.</p>
<p>Forming in London in 1992, Bush became one of the most popular bands of the 90s, both in the UK and globally, with their breakaway hit Sixteen Stone. Spawning five lead singles, two of which, <em>&#8220;Glycerine&#8221;</em> and <em>&#8220;Comedown,&#8221;</em> remain the band&#8217;s most popular and successful tracks, the album cemented the band as one of the decade&#8217;s most successful acts. <em>Sixteen Stone</em> would go on to be certified Platinum and garner almost universal critical acclaim.<br />
<iframe title="YouTube video player" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/xS3GiUAvjJ8?si=yXt1prq_Jxtnw5BX" width="560" height="315" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen="allowfullscreen"></iframe><br />
Long considered, arguably, a more popular band on the other side of the Atlantic, their follow up to Sixteen Stone, 1996&#8217;s <em>Razorblade Suitcase</em> topped the charts in the US and performed very well across European markets, although the album received less critical attention due to what many cited as a negative change sonically to what made their debut so successful.</p>
<p>Due to a decline in album sales and dwindling support from their label, Bush decided to call it quits in 2002 after ten years making music with members moving on to solo or alternate projects. Rossdale found some success with his band Institute and even, briefly, waded into the waters of acting.<br />
<iframe title="YouTube video player" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/yOspTs0xOks?si=yYJ5z-1nuG2fHtO-" width="560" height="315" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen="allowfullscreen"></iframe><br />
Bush reunited in 2010 and have released five more studio records including 2022&#8217;s <em>The Art Of Survival</em> which received mostly positive reviews, with many believing it to be the best of their reunited years.</p>

				<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Queen song <em>&#8216;Fat Bottomed Girls&#8217;</em> has been dropped from the newest version of &#8216;Queen’s Greatest Hits&#8217;.</p>
<p>The 1978 classic has been canned from the collection in order to create a product more appropriate for younger audiences. The new collection itself is being released on Yoto – a music platform targeted at children.</p>
<p>About the collection, <a href="https://uk.yotoplay.com/products/queen-greatest-hits-volume-1">a description on Yoto’s website reads</a>: <em>&#8220;It&#8217;s the ideal introduction to the music of QUEEN for young music lovers and the perfect soundtrack to kitchen dance parties, road trip singalongs, bedtime air guitar sessions….and much much more&#8221;</em></p>
<p>The track features lyrics such as <em>“Fat bottomed girls, you make the rockin’ world go round”</em> and <em>“But their beauty and their style went kind of smooth after a while, Take me to the dirty ladies every time”</em>. It seems lyrics like these are the driving force behind the song being canned in favour of having a more appropriate collection of songs for younger children.</p>
<p>Despite the song’s omission from the collection, the rest of the track list from the original 1981 collection has been left untouched, still incorporating classics like &#8220;<em>Bohemian Rhapsody&#8221;</em> and &#8220;<em>We Are The Champions&#8221;.</em></p>
<p>However,<a href="https://uk.yotoplay.com/products/queen-greatest-hits-volume-1"> a warning has been issued alongside the release stating:</a> <em>“Please note that the lyrics in some of these songs contain adult themes, including occasional references to violence and drugs. These are the original and unedited recordings. Whilst no swear words are used parental discretion is advised when playing this content to or around younger children.”</em></p>
<p>The lyrics were written by both guitarist Brian May and vocalist Freddie Mercury. May told Mojo Magazine in 2008: <a href="https://blabbermouth.net/news/queens-classic-song-fat-bottomed-girls-dropped-from-new-version-of-greatest-hits-collection"><em>&#8220;I wrote it with Fred (late Queen vocalist Freddie Mercury) in mind, as you do, especially if you&#8217;ve got a great singer who likes fat bottomed girls&#8230; or boys.&#8221;</em></a></p>
<p><iframe title="YouTube video player" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/VMnjF1O4eH0?si=k9jRjH0Pkp9MLWFU" width="560" height="315" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen="allowfullscreen"></iframe></p>
<p>A music insider told the <a href="https://www.dailymail.co.uk/tvshowbiz/article-12424449/We-woke-Classic-Queen-song-Fat-Bottomed-Girls-mysteriously-dropped-groups-new-Greatest-Hits-collection.html">Daily Mail</a>: <em>&#8220;It is the talk of the music industry. Nobody can work out why such a good-natured, fun song can&#8217;t be acceptable in today&#8217;s society. It is woke gone mad. Why not appreciate people of all shapes and sizes like society is saying we should, rather than get rid of it?&#8221;</em></p>
<p>This isn’t the first time the song has been met with controversy, however. Upon the song&#8217;s release in 1978, several record stores would refuse to stock the single version of the track due to the original sleeve cover showing a barely dressed woman riding a bicycle.</p>
<p>No comment has yet to be made from the original band members at this time.</p>

				<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p style="font-weight: 400;">British pop star Robbie Williams has hinted at a reunion with Kylie Minogue; the former Taken That bandmember has extended an invitation to Minogue to perform their classic hit &#8220;<em>Kids</em>&#8221; at his upcoming show. Later this month, Williams is scheduled to take the stage in Minogue&#8217;s home country of Australia to perform at the 2022 Toyota AFL Grand Final halftime show; the sporting event and concert will take place on Saturday 24th September 2022, at The Melbourne Cricket Ground (MCG).</p>
<p style="font-weight: 400;">Minogue and Williams released &#8220;<em>Kids</em>&#8221; in 2000; the duet was co-written by Williams and his writing partner Guy Chambers. The single originated from Williams and Minogue&#8217;s initial stages of their partnership; the two first started to work together when Minogue asked Williams to write music for her album <em>Light Years</em>. During the songwriting process, the two singers felt the creative chemistry between themselves and decided to turn &#8220;<em>Kids</em>&#8221; into a duet rather than a solo track for Minogue. The two later worked together the following year; Williams lent his writing talents to Minogue in 2001 when he co-wrote the track &#8220;<em>Your Disco Needs You</em>&#8220;.</p>
<p><iframe title="YouTube video player" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/cvn6eYJh-0c" width="560" height="315" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen="allowfullscreen"></iframe></p>
<p style="font-weight: 400;">During a recent appearance on Fox FM, Williams alluded to a reunion with the certified pop princess. The 48-year-old singer <a href="https://www.dailymail.co.uk/tvshowbiz/article-11203887/Robbie-Williams-wants-Kylie-Minogue-join-headline-halftime-MCGAFL-Grand-Final.html">stated</a>, &#8220;<em>I need to ask her, maybe I should do that on this radio station right here, right now. Kylie, please come and sing with me. I&#8217;d love it if you did.</em>&#8221; When pressed for more information, the &#8220;Let Me Entertain You&#8221; singer <a href="https://www.dailymail.co.uk/tvshowbiz/article-11203887/Robbie-Williams-wants-Kylie-Minogue-join-headline-halftime-MCGAFL-Grand-Final.html">said</a>, &#8220;<em>I cannot confirm or deny [but] I will be singing a song that isn&#8217;t a Robbie Williams song. I&#8217;ll just put that out there.</em>&#8221; Williams has also been vocal in his reactions to the passing of Queen Elizabeth II, the singer took to social media to post a tribute to the 96 year old monarch.</p>

<p style="font-weight: 400;">This week saw Williams make a recent return to the UK charts; the multiple Brit award-winning artist released <em>XXV</em> on 9th September 2022. The compilation album was released via Columbia Records and serves to commemorate the singer&#8217;s 25th anniversary as a solo artist. The album is the singer&#8217;s tenth greatest hits LP and comes with a twist on the format; the release contains re-worked, re-recorded and orchestrated renditions of the singer&#8217;s most beloved tracks from his long and storied solo career. The album contains many reimagined songs, including an <em>XXV</em> version of Williams&#8217; fourth solo single, &#8220;<em>Angels</em>&#8221; the new version was released as <em>XXV&#8217;s</em> lead single on 7th June 2022.</p>

<p style="font-weight: 400;">Recent data released via the UK official charts confirmed that Williams&#8217; new album could reach the top of the album charts. The singer&#8217;s thirteenth studio album is outselling the rest of the top 10 albums combined and is tipped to become the UK&#8217;s number one album. If it continues to sell well, <em>XXV</em> will become Williams&#8217; fourteenth solo number one album in the UK. The Stoke on Trent native first broke into the charts as a solo artist with his debut album, <em>Life Thru A Lens</em>; the album was released on 29th September 1997. The album marked a sharp re-direction from his boyband days and saw Williams adopt the Britpop sound, which was prominent during the 90s.</p>

<p><script src="//www.instagram.com/embed.js" async=""></script>Brittain McVey has <a href="https://uk.movies.yahoo.com/vamps-offer-nostalgia-10th-anniversary-090000625.html">spoken</a> with BANG Showbiz concerning the group’s tin anniversary, <em>&#8220;I think for a lot of people, there are various moments over the last 10 years that offer up nostalgia. Up until this point, every tour has been based on a specific album, like last year we had the ‘Cherry Blossom’ album and tour in September. But this one is going to be different because we want to get all the albums from the last decade into the show. Hopefully, it will be the sort of show where – some people might have been really big fans of the first or the second album and we want people to relive those moments with us. It&#8217;s going to be emotional, but it’s going to be so hard to pick a set list because we’ve got five albums now!</em>&#8221;</p>
<p>Throughout the group’s career they have enjoyed great success, The Vamps scored their first number one album with their third studio album <em>Night &amp; Day</em> and received two Gold certifications for their first two albums <em>Meet The Vamps</em> and <em>Wake Up</em>. Due to their commercial success, the band have worked with some big names in music such as Demi Lovato on the 2014 single “<em>Somebody To You</em>” and performed with Taylor Swift on tour.</p>
<p>Frontman Simpson has also <a href="https://uk.movies.yahoo.com/vamps-offer-nostalgia-10th-anniversary-090000625.html">spoken</a> on the group’s experiences, the singer talks about how the band had opportunities to meet and work with their heroes, &#8220;<em>Meeting Dave Grohl for me was just ridiculous because he’s been one of my idols for so long. They say don’t meet your heroes but it was just very inspiring to learn that you can be a good person and also just be a sheer legend. Connor got to meet Brendon Urie from Panic at the Disco. James as well, like when we got to tour with Taylor [Swift] which was amazing.</em>&#8221;</p>

<p><script src="//www.instagram.com/embed.js" async=""></script>A <a href="https://uk.style.yahoo.com/steps-greatest-hits-25th-anniversary-160518578.html">statement</a> from the group has been released concerning the upcoming release, &#8220;<em>We cannot believe this year marks our 25th anniversary! Someone recently mentioned that the latest era of Steps has actually now outlasted our original run which was a delightful surprise. This anniversary marks the perfect moment to take a look back at everything we&#8217;ve achieved as a band.</em>&#8221;</p>
<p>The statement <a href="https://uk.style.yahoo.com/steps-greatest-hits-25th-anniversary-160518578.html">continues</a> to describe the collection, “<em>We realised that we&#8217;ve released a full 3 new studio albums since our last Greatest Hits so it felt like time to combine all our hits on one package. We&#8217;ve recorded two brand-new tracks for the album and presto, the &#8216;Platinum Collection&#8217; was born. It was such good fun listening back at 25 years of our songs and we hope you enjoy this trip down memory lane as much we did.</em>&#8221;</p>
<p>The group first rose to fame in 1997 but disbanded in 2001, following an extended hiatus rumours concerning a possible union began to circulate in 2011. In October of 2011, the band confirmed their re-formation and announced dates for The Ultimate Tour. The group’s reformation included all original members, Lee Latchford-Evans, Claire Richards, Lisa Scott-Lee, Faye Tozer and Ian H Watkins.</p>
<p>Much speculation has resurfaced after the confirmation of the upcoming album due to the band’s previous relationship with Greatest Hits albums. The bands initial disbanding took place after the release of their 2001 greatest hits album Gold: Greatest Hits. Scott-Lee <a href="https://uk.style.yahoo.com/steps-release-two-tracks-part-110000169.html">spoke</a> with The Sun newspaper’s Bizarre column to reassure fans that history will not repeat itself, “<em>We haven’t talked about splitting up because Steps is for ever and there is so much love out there for the group</em>.”</p>
<p><iframe title="YouTube video player" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/iUBwKHtgyGM" width="560" height="315" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen="allowfullscreen"></iframe></p>
<p>Ahead of the new release, the “<em>5,6,7,8</em>” hitmakers have also released the “<em>Platinum Megamix</em>” across all popular streaming services. The re-worked musical montage of the band’s career was also released via YouTube on 1st June 2022, the track was also accompanied by a nostalgic music video. The megamix has been <a href="https://uk.style.yahoo.com/steps-release-two-tracks-part-110000169.html">described</a> as “<em>a fabulous reminder of all their gigantic hits from the past two and a half decades.</em>&#8221;</p>

<p>The talented pianist celebrated his birthday on 25th March whilst on the road for his Farewell Yellow Brick Road tour. Sir John has <a href="https://www.list.co.uk/article/134138-sir-elton-john-marks-75th-birthday-by-releasing-greatest-hits-on-streaming-services/">spoken</a> on the personal importance which his Birthday held, &#8220;<em>I&#8217;m not usually one to look back or get nostalgic, but 75 is such a milestone birthday. I&#8217;ll definitely find time today to take stock and thank my lucky stars for my wonderful family, friends and career. I feel unbelievably lucky that at 75 I still love what i do so much &#8211; I&#8217;m still so energised about music and excited I get to play, listen and talk about this every single day. Being back on the road is a blast and the thrill of playing live is as amazing as it was 50 years ago. I have so much to pass on to the new generation of fans and artists alike, and I&#8217;m determined to keep giving back to the industry that has given me so much.</em>&#8221;</p>
<p>Consisting of the singer’s most popular singles, the forty-eight-track album celebrates Sir John’s long and influential career. The album charts the musician’s storied discography spanning between 1970-2016 and includes such hit singles as “<em>Tiny Dancer</em>”, “<em>Sorry Seems To Be The Hardest Word</em>” and “<em>I’m Still Standing</em>”. The newly re-worked release also includes “<em>Your Song</em>”, known as Sir John’s breakthrough song, the single was released in 1970 and taken from the singer’s second studio album.</p>

<p>The greatest hits album was originally released in 2017 on CD and Vinyl and was also released to celebrate a milestone, the compilation was produced to commemorate the 50th anniversary of Sir John’s musical partnership with Bernie Taupin. The talented duo have been working together since 1967, the pair have been named the most successful creative partnership within the entertainment industry and were inducted into the Songwriters hall of Fame in 1992. Sir John and Taupin have accumulated a lengthy back catalogue including such hits as “<em>Bernie and the Jets</em>”, “<em>Candle in the Wind”</em>, “<em>Don’t Go Breaking My Heart</em>” and “<em>Goodbye Yellow Brick Road</em>”.</p>
<p>The music icon is known for more than his musical talent; Sir John is heralded for his extensive charity and philanthropy work, most notably The Elton John AIDS Foundation. The non-profit organisation was established by the musician in 1992 and 1993. The foundation has remained at the forefront within HIV and AIDS support programmes, providing education, prevention and aid in over fifty-five countries.</p>

<p>The boyband’s cover of the Christmas hit has coincided with this year’s festive period. Meaning, the group’s new release may be in the running for this year’s Christmas number one. Scoring a festive hit would be a triumphant return for the group who have reunited after a seven-year hiatus.</p>
<p><iframe title="YouTube video player" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/CYl29LcY2uI" width="560" height="315" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen="allowfullscreen"></iframe></p>
<p>The band disbanded in 2014 and consists of members Max George, Tom Parker, Nathan Sykes, Jay McGuiness and Sive Kaneswaran. The group formed through a series of auditions which saw over 1,000 singers participate. The process took over nine months to cement the group and the winning members were signed to Geffen Records. Their debut album, <em>The Wanted</em>, was released on 22nd October 2010 and included their first number-one single “<em>All Time Low</em>”. Last year marked the group’s tenth anniversary, unfortunately, due to COVID-19 the celebrations were cancelled.</p>
<p>The original track was released on 21st November 1994 by East 17 via the record label London. East 17 were key players within the 90’s boyband movement which preceded the genre’s resurgence within the 00’s, which spawned such groups as The Wanted. The original release of the track became the Christmas number one for 1994 and was the group’s only number-one single. The single competed in a now-famous chart battle with the festive anthem “<em>All I Want For Christmas Is You</em>” by the Queen of Christmas Mariah Carey. Both were neck and neck in competition for the Christmas number-one single of 1994 but “<em>Stay Another Day</em>” won by outselling Carey’s beloved track.</p>
<p><iframe title="YouTube video player" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/-wNhdjoF-6M" width="560" height="315" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen="allowfullscreen"></iframe></p>
<p>The group’s festive cover has been released ahead of the band’s <a href="http://www.mxdwn.co.uk/news/the-wanted-announce-reunion-with-greatest-hits-album-new-music-and-upcoming-charity-concert/">Greatest Hits album</a>, set to be released on 12th November 2021. The upcoming collection is a compilation of the band’s most loved songs including such hits as “<em>All Time Low</em>”, “<em>I Found You</em>” and the 2012 megahit “<em>Glad You Came</em>”. Along with their back catalogue, the upcoming album also features the new track “<em>Rule The World</em>”. The single was released on 13th October 2021 and saw the band adopt a heavier dance sound. Also included within the upcoming album’s tracklist is the band’s Comic Relief Single “<em>Gold Forever</em>”, released in 2011 the track debuted at number three within the UK charts.</p>
<p>It has been reported that Parker’s health was one of the reasons which led to their reunion. Last Summer, the 33-year-old singer was diagnosed with a terminal brain tumour. Since then, Parker has been raising money and awareness, he recently hosted a charity gig for Stand Up to Cancer. This week it was announced that Parker’s condition was improving and was now under control. In a <a href="https://www.list.co.uk/article/130896-the-wanted-drop-cover-of-east-17s-stay-another-day/">press release</a>, the singer spoke on the good news, &#8220;<em>It feels amazing it is quite nice to be able to do something that is not related to treatment, it is like nothing has ever changed.</em>&#8221;</p>
<p>The Wanted will be hitting the road later this month with a series of acoustic shows and Q&amp;A sessions. The intimate tour will start on 12th November and will continue through the month with five more gigs, including two album signing dates. In 2022, the group will also be embarking on a 12 date headline tour across the UK.</p>
