It seems the famous rocker has reached that age where he thinks it would be a good idea to just sit down and start writing the memoirs. Bruce Springsteen has apparently started or is planning to start working on his autobiography and many consider it will be big… really big… like nine or ten million dollars big! Is Bruce Springsteen really that bored with the stage that he’s just going to cash in his chits and retire on a tropical island? Now is that anyway for a true rocker to go, just fade away into an autobiography? Whatever happened to the blaze of glory?

Sir Elton John, 62, was released from a London hospital after treatment for an e.coli infection.
Sir Elton was hospitalised at a private facility with influenza and a serious bacterial gut infection last weekend.
His civil spouse, David Furnish, had said Sir Elton was fine and would be released within two to three days.
But no reports to update his condition were made available through the week.
His spokesman, Gary Farrow, said Sir Elton was at home on Friday and was feeling fine. Farrow said Sir Elton was discharged from the hospital early on Thursday.
Sir Elton, who cancelled some UK performance dates and postponed others in North America, would be resuming his suspended tour, starting with a gig with Billy Joel in Oakland near San Francisco on November 14.

The Backstreet Boys have a new music video out for their song ‘Bigger’, which is the second single off of their latest album ‘This is Us’. It looks like the band’s video was shot in Japan, shortly after singer Brian Littrell was diagnosed and quarantined with the swine flu. The Backstreet Boys are scheduled to be back in the land of the rising sun in early 2010 to perform a string of concert dates on their ‘This is Us’ tour at the Saitama Super Arena, World Hall and the Nippon Gaishi Hall. When it looks like your career is dwindling down, trust that you still have something to go back to in Japan.

The singer is apparently getting back together with the famous band that was probably the catalyst for his solo career. When asked if he will also be singing with Take That again, Robbie Williams said only the following: “We’ve got together, done bits and bobs. I can’t say much, but yes, I hope so.” Now where did this spontaneous decision come from? Does Robbie Williams think he has done enough with himself by making his extraordinary contributions to music and now wants to lift his former band mates a bit too? Or has he finally woken from that semi-conscious phase in which he actually refused to participate at the MTV European Music awards and wants to do something to get his “groove” back? Focus man, focus!

The highly experienced and wise country singer is apparently not too happy with what the youngsters seem to be doing with the genre these days. George Jones doesn’t seem to be to impressed with Taylor Swift or Carrie Underwood whom he recently accused of stealing the identity of country music and whoring it into the mainstream. One can see his point, but George Jones seems to be fighting a losing battle. But then again, he’s an artist and Taylor Swift and Carrie Underwood are… well, one is a hit factory and the other an American Idol winner. But you keep on fighting the good fight, sir! Maybe one day…

Elton John recently cancelled several concerts in the UK and Ireland due to influenza. However, new reports have come out saying that the singer has been diagnosed with a serious case of E. Coli. As a result, his 3 upcoming gigs in Seattle and Portland with Billy Joel have also been postponed. Sir Elton is currently getting some treatment at a London hospital for the bacterial infection. Ticket holders have been asked to hang on to their stubs as his camp works out a new schedule for the postponed shows. I hope he gets better soon! He needs to worry about his health first before anything else.

Musician Cyndi Lauper was all smiles after President Barack Obama delivered remarks following the enactment of the Matthew Shepard and James Byrd Jr. Hate Crimes Prevention Act. In a statement, the singer said “As a straight ally and as a person with many lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender family members, friends and fans, I want to thank the Human Rights Campaign, Judy and Dennis Shepard and Senator Edward Kennedy for their leadership in the 11 year struggle to get the Matthew Shepard & James Byrd, Jr. Hates Crimes Prevention Bill enacted. Finally, with President Obama’s signature, violent hate crimes against the LGBT community will be recognized and prosecuted by the Federal government. This is only the beginning, I believe that the repeal of Don’t Ask, Don’t Tell and the Defense of Marriage Act, as well as the passage of the Employment Non-Discrimination Act, will soon be here. Today, that light at the end of the tunnel for the LGBT civil rights movement is much brighter.”

After being with Geffen Records for over 18 years, Rob Zombie is leaving the label and moving on to Roadrunner Records. The rock singer claims that his former label didn’t give him enough time to promote his new album ‘Hellbilly Deluxe 2’ before it’s November 9th release. I think he’s right because this is the first time that I’ve heard that he has new music. Rob said “It certainly wasn’t an easy decision to make after all this time, but it had to be done. I love this new record and wanted to surround myself with an excited new group of people who can reignite my enthusiasm for working within a hard rock record label. Roadrunner seems to be the perfect place.” The album will now hit shelves some time next year to give the rocker enough time to promote it.

The musician has recently been named a living legend at the Marshall Classic Rock Roll Awards. Iggy Pop apparently participated at the awards alongside others such as Slash, Ronnie Wood and Pete Townshend. Upon receiving his award, Iggy Pop said the following: “It’s been a long dinner, so I’m not gonna whip out my dick. Alright, you know, thank you to everybody who has strong feelings about music so that when you hear something you don’t like you wanna fucking kill somebody and when you hear something you like you wanna fuck everybody.” Quite the words for a so-called legend… plus, he might be getting a bit ahead of himself, legends are usually legends simply because there once was a time when they actually existed, but nobody remembers it. Or does that actually apply with Iggy Pop too?
