I was nine years old when I learned of Kurt Cobain’s death. At that time, all I knew about Cobain was Nirvana’s ‘Smells Like Teen Spirit’ being played on repeat on MTV, and the striking image of a naked baby swimming for a dollar on the 'Nevermind' poster taped to my neighbour’s bedroom wall. I always looked up to my neighbours, siblings who are respectively three and five years older than me – an age gap which was a huge deal for a younger me with little to no cool factor to speak of. They were my cool factor, the gatekeepers to know-how I lacked. Both brothers frequently took me under their ...

This isn't the first collaboration between Kiss and Pophouse, which was co-founded by ABBA’s Björn Ulvaeus. When the band's current lineup - founders Paul Stanley and Gene Simmons as well as guitarist Tommy Thayer and drummer Eric Singer - took the stage at the final night of their farewell tour in December at New York City's famed Madison Square Garden, they ended by revealing digitised avatars of themselves. The cutt...

Fed up with inflated, inaccessible ticket prices, English recording artist YUNGBLUD is launching his own budget-friendly music festival. "Bludfest" is set to take place on 11 August in the Iconic Milton Keynes Bowl, which in the past has hosted the likes of David Bowie, and Green Day. YUNGBLUD, real name Dom Harrison, thinks that currently festivals are "unrepresentative of people" - so he’s fixing the price point of Bludfest at £49.50 (approximately €58). "It's like massive ticket charges, massive prices that most of the time aren't really going to the artist anyway," he said, speaking in a r...

The much-anticipated auction for Pattie Boyd’s personal collection of clothing, artwork, photographs and love letters drew to a close over the weekend, bringing in a show-stopping €3.29 million in revenues. The Christie’s online auction blew through the pre-sale high estimates, led by the original artwork chosen by Eric Clapton for the cover of his band Derek and the Dominos 1970 album “Layla and Other Assorted Love Songs,” which sold for €2,307,968. The painting was the subject of an extended bidding war, eventually selling for 33 times the pre-sale estimate and setting a new auction record f...

Its end was even more unexpected. In the middle of trial, New York prosecutors abruptly dropped their case against three collectibles experts who had been accused of scheming to hang onto and peddle the pages, which Eagles co-founder Don Henley maintained were stolen. The decision came on Wednesday 6 March 6 amid revelations of new evidence that raised doubts about the fairness of the trial. From Lana Del Rey to Kan...

Cave has shared details of the new album, ‘Wild God’, the band’s 18th studio effort. “I hope the album has the effect on listeners that it’s had on me.
