She said: “I always like making things [and] they gave us different clothes from different [eras]. That was a Gucci dress; it was like a Marilyn Monroe ’50s-shape black swimming costume. “Like Americans – you always celebrate your country, I was thinking, ‘It’s the BRITs, I should put a flag on it.’ And the only flag I found was a tea towel, so I cut out a tea towel and sewed it on the Gucci dress.”  

The girl group, who performed the smash hits “Wannabe” and “Who Do You Think You Are” at the award show, certainly had a reason to celebrate. The band won British Single of the Year and British Video of the Year at the 1997 ceremony.  

Watch the performance, below.

Horner also spoke about how she missed the first rounds of the auditions for Spice Girls. She said: “It wasn’t really the Spice Girls at that moment, just some people auditioning for a girl band, but I did miss it. I was up a mountain and I had burnt my face… Somehow, I kept the advert on my mirror and – a few months later – I thought, ‘Hmmm, I wonder if that’s still going.’ So, I ran them up and they said come on.” 

Earlier this year, the girl group released a never-seen-before alternative music video of their 90s classic “Smash” to commemorate the 25th anniversary of the third single from their classic album, Spiceworld. The album was a smashing success for the band and has since gone on to sell over one million copies in the UK and over four million in the US. Worldwide, the album has sold over 14 million copies. It has since become one of the best-selling albums of all time.  

Fans of the band have also been teased with more exciting news. Mel B, known as Scary Spice, told The Sun that the pop group have an announcement on the way. She said: “We are planning on releasing a statement. What that is, I can’t say right now because we’re just finishing off perfecting what we’re going to be doing together, all five of us, but it’s going to be something that the fans are really going to love.”  

The Stone’s new album released after teasing the idea, comes almost two decades after their last album was released back in 2005, and their first since the death of Charlie Watts.

Mick said, “Most are Steve, but two are tracks we recorded in 2019 with Charlie and so we, er, we used two of the tracks we recorded with Charlie before.” Ronnie Wood then picked up from that and confirmed the name of both singles, he said “Live By The Sword” and “Mess it up.”

Fans will have to patiently wait until October 20 when the album is officially released. You can access the Rolling Stones web page and pre-order the album now.

Charlie Watts previously proclaimed as the greatest drummer of his generation, sadly died in 2021; however, the reason behind his death has never been disclosed. Charlie was previously diagnosed in 2004 with throat cancer but was in remission in 2005.

Keith Richards recalls and tells Jimmy during their press conference that Charlie had recommended Steve Jordan. “Thanks to Charlie Watts also we have Steve Jordan, who was Charlie’s recommendation, If anything should happen to him, Steve Jordan’s your man.”

Charlie Watts, appearing on two tracks from the new album, wasn’t the only surprise that the Rolling Stones had up their sleeve for their comeback release.

The first long-awaited new single off the album, to be released, is entitled Angry. The band reunited with host Jimmy Fallon in Hackney London on September 6, to premier their iconic new music video.

At the conclusion of the premiere, Jimmy Fallon had another special guest, Sydney Sweeney, the star of the Rolling Stones’ new music video. Famous for her acting performances in ‘Euphoria’, ‘Once Upon a Time in Hollywood’ and, most recently, ‘Reality’.

In the video, Sweeney is being driven down Los Angeles Boulevard, in a Stones-branded convertible, passing billboards of the Rolling Stones through the decades. She is seen enjoying the open top, lip-syncing to the lyrics, and playing air guitar.

After the Rolling Stones leave the stage, Jimmy steps down to the front row, where Sydney Sweeney and her Mum, Lisa, are sitting. Jimmy asks Sydney “What goes through your brain when you get asked to do a Rolling Stones video?” Sydney replies with, “Oh gosh, Freaked out, called my family and brought my mum.”, Sydney then turns to the seat behind her, where her mum is sitting.

Jimmy, turns and says to Lisa, “Hi mom, You’ve gotta be very proud of your daughter.” With a beaming smile on her face, she nods and says, “Very proud.”

Fallon asks “Have you done a video before?”.  Although Sydney has appeared in one other music video, she goes on to add, “But nothing like this” and “This is the biggest thing ever.”

September 20, Rolling Stones, new album, Hackney Diamonds featuring Charlie Watts, and it is clear, that his contributions to the band over the past 58 years and talent as a drummer will be sorely missed on tour and from the recording studio.

The announcement shouldn’t come as a shock to any die-hard Sawayama fans. Last week she blew up her own socials by sharing banners and leaflets with the phrase “Rina Is Going To Hell”. Before taking the now popular move of wiping her Instagram completely to begin a new era for herself. The posts have stayed up on her Twitter though, and attached to a few of the posts you can find what appears to be a mailing list. I don’t actually know anything about what applying to this list will do if anything interesting, but if you’re a fan… it can’t hurt to get involved.

In another good step in the right direction, Sawayama is also set to head overseas tomorrow for an appearance on “Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon”. Say what you will about these American talk shows, but love them or hate them, the amount of genuinely great artists that have had a decent chance in the spotlight through shows like this is really quite pleasing to me. Rina Sawayama is hardly a household name here – which is a massive shame – but given the chance to get a step into the states… what a day. While you may not actually be able to access the show in the UK, clips of Sawayama’s performance will undoubtedly make it online in the next few days.

Anticipations are high for this new project, her debut was an absolute mystery to behold, and pretty much all of the singles released outside of the album have held up pretty well. Hell, even her appearance on that rubbish Elton John collaboration album was pretty good. Rina Sawayama and Dua Lipa were literally the only ones worth listening to. Hear it below.

This is a performance of his first song release since his last album “Anima”. The album was one of the artist’s most critically acclaimed works. Reviewing the album, NME wrote: “This is an artfully produced fever dream of an album that, in its doominess, suggests we should continue to pay credence to the prophet Thom Yorke.”

In the meantime, Radiohead have been releasing archival footage of gigs across their career. The weekly releases will continue until either the of the current situation is eased or they run out of show footage to release.

The guitar player of the band, Ed O’Brien recently shared that the band were discussing a possible tour in 2021, before the coronavirus situation got serious.

The virus outbreak also affected Thom Yorke’s solo tour as he had to reschedule dates in the US and cancel dates in Mexico.
