NEW ORLEANS (AP) — Stevie Wonder, Pearl Jam and Neil Young will headline this year’s New Orleans Jazz and Heritage Festival. Other performers include Nick Jonas, Maxwell, Beck, Snoop Dogg and Red Hot Chili Peppers. They didn’t forget the jazz acts: Herbie Hancock, Wayne Shorter, Terence Blanchard and Chris Botti (BOH’-tee) are among the jazz musicians who will play. The festival will also hold tributes to B.B. King and to Allen Toussaint (too-SAHNT’), who died last year. Jazz Fest will be held April 22-24 and April 28-May 1.
NEW YORK (AP) — John Legend will play a musician in the upcoming film “La La Land,” and he doesn’t play a piano player. Legend had to learn guitar for the role. It’s not his first time in a movie, because he was in “Soul Men,” but he didn’t speak in that film. This time he has lines. Legend says it was a real education for him because he had to learn dialogue and to improvise with Ryan Gosling.
LOS ANGELES (AP) — There are 50 positions on the Billboard Hot Rock Songs chart. David Bowie occupies 21 of those spots. The highest-ranking song is “Lazarus” at number 3. All seven songs from his “Blackstar” album are on the chart. Bowie shatters the record held by Mumford and Sons, who had 14 songs on the chart after the release of their “Babel” (BAY’-bel) album in 2012.
LONDON (AP) — Sting thinks Rock Paper Scissors is the perfect game, because no one can have dominance. Peter Gabriel thinks it’s a great game because he cheats at it. Gabriel says the trick is to wait a fraction of a second to see what the other person throws before throwing his own hand. He says he’s always been a little bit behind. Sting and Gabriel will begin their Rock Paper Scissors tour June 21 in Columbus, Ohio. Gabriel says, “‘Rock’ makes the music, ‘paper’ is an offer we can’t refuse and ‘scissors’ we do the business and then we’re off.” He says he knows he’ll get along fine with Sting on tour because they had a great time together during the Amnesty International Tour in 1986. He says they had a lot of great music and pillow fights on that tour.
NEW YORK (AP) — Don Felder had always hoped he and Glenn Frey would speak again. Felder says he felt “unbelievable sorrow” hearing the news of Frey’s death on Monday. Felder says Frey was “the leader and everybody looked up to him.” Felder and Frey famously fought on stage during The Eagles show in Long Beach, California, in 1980 that led to the breakup of the band. They regrouped in 1994, but Felder was forced out of the band in 2001. Felder says in spite of their difference, he remembers Frey most for the music they made together and for the “laughter and the parties.” Felder says he has not been in contact for years with Frey, Don Henley, Joe Walsh or Timothy B. Schmit, but Randy Meisner called him when Frey died. Felder says Meisner was in tears.
NEW YORK (AP) — Hello, it’s Adele, and she’s performing at next month’s Grammy Awards.
The Recording Academy told The Associated Press on Wednesday that the British singer, leading nominee Kendrick Lamar, the Weeknd and Little Big Town will perform at the Feb. 15 show.
Adele returned to music in top form with “25,” her third album that has sold about 8 million units in the U.S. since its November release. The 10-time Grammy winner will qualify for nominations at next year’s awards show because she released music after the Sept. 30, 2015, deadline.
Lamar has 11 nominations, followed by Taylor Swift and the Weeknd, who earned seven nominations each.
LL Cool J will host the 58th Grammy Awards, to air live on CBS from the Staples Center in Los Angeles.
