According to Michael Lombardo, head of the film company HBO, the film is dedicated to the band's 50th anniversary. “All members of the Rolling Stones took part in the filming of the film, from Mick, Keith, Charlie and Ron, to Bill Wyman and Mick Taylor. We will talk about the band's early years and how it has grown into one of the most famous bands in the world." “We have thoroughly researched everything that was in the archives of the Rolling Stones. The film will feature songs that no one has heard before. Add to that over 50 hours of interviews that I've done myself, and you'll realize that a really great job went into making this film," said Brett Morgan, director of the documentary. Meanwhile, Mick Jagger has again said that the Rolling Stones could play a concert this fall. “Very soon you will definitely see all of us on stage. We were very happy to get together again, which caused a lot of pleasant memories. True, I still cannot believe that we are already fifty, ”said Mick Jagger in an interview.

The group's performance lasted two hours, and caused extreme delight of the public after a few minutes.

During the performance, Ozzy called Tony Iommi "a real iron man", after which the emotions of the audience reached their limit. It was Black Sabbath's last show of the year as it was time for Tony Iommi to undergo another round of therapy.

The Who's 1979 concert in Providence was cancelled. However, ten people who keep their tickets will be able to get to the group's performance, which will take place in the same city. The Providence performance will be the last of The Who's "Quadrophenia" tour, which began on November 1 last year and saw the band perform 35 shows. “We had an overwhelming desire to play together until we were dead. That was the main reason why we decided to go on tour again,” said Pete Townshend. According to Roger Daltrey, he decided to join Pete again when he realized that he could hardly tell himself exactly how many more years he could sing on stage. The band first performed the rock opera Quadrophenia, released in 1973, on tour in 1996 and 1997.
Bob Dylan talks about his new album
“This is an album in which everything turned out by itself, and you just had to believe that it would not be without meaning. Actually I wanted to do something very religious, but I couldn't write as many songs as I wanted in the beginning. This topic requires a huge amount of attention and concentration, each thought would have to be checked ten times - so the album turned out in the end the way it turned out, ”said Bob Dylan in an interview. Tempest, the musician's 35th studio album, will be released on September 11th. One of the album's songs, the ballad "Roll On, John", is dedicated to John Lennon.

Eminem's first performance at the club ended in complete failure, after which the musician decided to part with creativity forever. “My first public performance was a complete failure. For me it was a very severe injury. So heavy that when I returned home, I firmly decided to leave music forever. But a week later, a day later, an hour later - no matter when exactly - this desire reappeared in me, and became irresistible. I thought then: "I have to get back on my feet, I still have to do it all over again."

The leader of the group admitted that a new Blur album could be born, but only if it was music for some kind of film. “Our closing performance in Hyde Park will be the last of this year and most likely for the next few years. However, this does not mean that the Blur group has come to an end. If anyone would like us to score a feature film, we would be happy to do so,” said Damon Albarn.

The American magazine Rolling Stone spoke in detail about one of the court hearings, which lasted 12 hours. According to the magazine, the Russian authorities want to resolve this case as quickly as possible, fearing that the number of people dissatisfied with this lawsuit may increase dramatically in the near future. The magazine also reported that all members of the group were declared prisoners of conscience, and that many musicians, such as Sting, Red Hot Chili Peppers, Patti Smith, demanded the release of prisoners. Rolling Stone quoted the group's lawyer as saying, "This is not a trial, this is outrageous." The English newspaper "New Musical Express" in its next material about the trial of the members of the group cites a number of statements by Nadezhda Tolokonnikova, paying special attention to one of them: "We are not enemies of Christianity. In our song, we reflected the reaction of many people in Russia to the patriarch's call to vote for Putin in the country's presidential elections on March 4, 2012." The newspaper also reports that a few days earlier, Jarvis Cocker, Johnny Mar, Alex Kapranos, Kate Nash and a number of other musicians sent an open letter to the President of Russia calling for the release of the imprisoned band members.
