• Maroon 5 China Tour Cancelled, Reportedly Due to Dalai Lama Tweets

    Maroon 5 was set for a short tour in China this September but "Sugar" may have been too sweet for the authorities, who have reportedly prevented the band from playing its scheduled Beijing and Shanghai shows. The story, as suggested by CNN and other media sources, is that a tweet from keyboardist/rhythm guitarist Jesse Carmichael addressing the Dalai Lama may be to blame.

  • Liam Gallagher and The Who's Roger Daltrey Forming Supergroup?

    Former Oasis frontman Liam Gallagher and The Who's Roger Daltrey are apparently forming a supergroup for a television performance this week, according to reports from British publications. TFI Friday, an entertainment show broadcast in the UK during the late '90s, is coming back for a one-off reunion episode and has booked a number of big musical guests, not the least of which is the unnamed collaboration of the vocalists for two of the biggest bands in British history.

  • Oasis Guitarist Noel Gallagher Hates Being Confused for Brother Liam

    Perhaps you've heard that neither Liam Gallagher nor Noel Gallagher have any interest in reforming Oasis, and you'd be correct to assume the pair are sick of being asked about it by the media. There's something that guitarist Noel hates even more however (also more than he hates when you pronounce his name "no-well"): people who can't tell the difference between he and his brother.

  • One Direction to Appear on Late Night TV for the First Time Without Zayn Malik

    One Direction is entering a new period of its career that doesn't include Zayn Malik, who left the group in March. The four remaining members -- Louis Tomlinson, Niall Horan, Liam Payne and Harry Styles -- soldiered on following the news, performing live overseas and starting work on a new album. The group recently announced that its first late-night TV appearance sans Malik will occur May 14 on "The Late Late Show with James Corden."

  • Billboard Hot 100 vs. Official Charts Company by Decade: Wiz Khalifa, Oasis, Gwen Stefani and 40 Years of No. 1s

    Few people realize just how different the music across the pond is from that we listen to in America, that the Hot 100 doesn't exist in the UK, and that its equivalent to our singles chart doesn't just feature a whole bunch of American artists with even more One Direction and Ellie Goulding tracks. Music Times is looking back at the last five decades of music, and at the no. 1 hits on April 2 every ten years on the spot, going back to 1975. The ultimate contest, of course, is which country has better taste. Last month the win went to the UK in the best-of-five showdown. This month features Wiz Khalifa, Gwen Stefani, Oasis and more in the field.

  • 8 Oasis No. 1 UK Hits: 'Don't Look Back In Anger,' 'The Hindu Times,' 'Lyla' and More

    Oasis, the most essentially-British band of the last 30 years (by both their own reckoning and ours), finally topped the charts in the Gallagher brothers' beloved UK 20 years ago today, with the single "Some Might Say," the first song off of the band's beloved album (What's The Story) Morning Glory? The band ended up topping the UK singles charts seven more times throughout its career (and only getting as high as no. 8 on the U.S. charts). Here are those no. 1 singles...be prepared for a few surprises (in terms of what didn't make it, if anything).

  • Noel Gallagher Claims He Lost Millions as a Solo Act: Former Oasis Member Might Retire From Touring

    After Oasis broke up in 2009, Noel Gallagher took some time off before he released his first solo album, 'Noel Gallagher's High Flying Birds.' He released the effort on his own label, Sour Mash, because he did not want to put up with majors anymore. The result was more independence and less money. "Everything I've done since I left Oasis has come from my own pocket," Gallagher told 'Loaded' recently. "You've got to pay for the tour, got to pay for the wages and you don't really break even for about nine months. I don't mean I lost money. I mean I lost a f**king s**tload of money. It was a few million, like. I had to lie to Sara [MacDonald, his wife] at first, and when I eventually did tell her, she freaked out -- I mean freaked out."
