| Morrissey postponed US tour due to double pneumonia Posted: 12 Mar 2013 06:56 AM PDT LOS ANGELES, British singer and ex-Smiths frontman Morrissey has postponed a US show due to double pneumonia, his publicist said yesterday, but denied he had been hospitalised.
"Morrissey is not/was not hospitalised in San Francisco. He had to reschedule Saturday night's show at Regency Ballroom due to double pneumonia," spokeswoman Lauren Papapietro told AFP, commenting on online reports. Double pneumonia occurs when both lungs are infected. The tour resumes March 14 where he will co-headline the Vive Latino Festival in Mexico, she added. After that his tour returns to the United States with shows scheduled through March and April. The famously prickly singer, famous for hits with the Smiths including "Heaven Knows I'm Miserable Now," has meanwhile apologised for heavy-handed security at a show in Portland, Oregon last week. In typically provocative style, he said: "Place an obese McDonald's fry-girl into a venue security uniform and she is suddenly Eva Braun," according to reported comments confirmed as reliable by the singer's personal assistant. Last month vegetarian Morrissey cancelled a performance with late night TV host Jimmy Kimmel in protest at the appearance of cast members from "Duck Dynasty," a reality TV show about a family duck-hunting products business. The animal rights activist played a sold-out show at Los Angeles' Staples Center on March 1 after saying he had persuaded promoters and the venue's operators to ban all meat products. — AFP/Relaxnews |
| ‘Trainspotting’ sequel set for 2016 Posted: 12 Mar 2013 06:55 AM PDT LONDON, March 12 — British director Danny Boyle told specialist blog The Playlist that he hopes to start filming a "Trainspotting" sequel exactly 20 years after the cult film was released.
The director's faithful collaborator John Hodge is currently working on the "Porno" screenplay. The movie won't completely adhere to the plot set out by Welsh. "It's very loosely based on 'Porno.' There's a couple of things that are based on the book, but obviously we'd have to have Irvine [Welsh] on board," explained Boyle. Moreover, the director is confident that the "Trainspotting" actors, such as Robert Carlyle and Ewan McGregor, who shot to fame in the movie, will be back for the sequel. Danny Boyle also announced that he is working on two other movies that he described as period dramas, but he didn't go into much detail. Before those, British audiences will be able to discover "Trance" starring James McAvoy and Vincent Cassel from March 27. — AFP/Relaxnews |
