Andrea Bocelli @ The O2 arena | 2 Nov – 3 Nov 2018

The world’s most beloved tenor, Andrea Bocelli, returns to the UK and Ireland next year, with two special dates at The O2 on Friday 2 and Saturday 3 November 2018.

Reportedly the biggest selling solo classical artist of all time with over 80 million worldwide album sales, Bocelli has performed for four US Presidents, two Popes and many Royal families across the world, as well as at high-profile ceremonies for the Olympic Games and the World Cup. The Maestro has countless music awards to his name over past 25 years in music and even boasts a Star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame, which he received in 2010 for his contribution to live theatre.

Andrea Bocelli last toured in the UK in 2016 in support of his album release ‘Cinema’, which featured songs from movies – the record included stunning duets with Ariana Grande and Nicole Scherzinger, and reached number three in the UK charts.

These exclusive show dates are set to be some of the most hotly anticipated live performances of 2018 and are sure to amaze once again the audience at both arenas. Fans of the Italian tenor can expect the show to feature the popular repertoire from across his 15 studio albums.

Commenting on the tour, Andrea said: “These are two new concert dates which are particularly dear to me; they are two further transoceanic appointments in two islands that I love and frequent for years. I will celebrate these two occasions amongst many friends, to give thanks to the many people who are steadfast and kind to appreciate the fruits of my profession.

To begin with, leafy Dublin, welcoming and generous like its audience, who I remember with particular affection. Finally, the stage of the O2 Arena in the pulsating heart of England as Samuel Johnson wrote “…When a man is tired of London, he is tired of life; for there is in London all that life can afford”. As I am a passionate enthusiast of life and vitality (as well as of love, the engine of life), going back to London shall be pure bliss.

Tickets are on sale now.

As with every U2 tour, this new arena production will explore the latest in cutting-edge technology. Staged in the round, the eXPERIENCE + iNNOCENCE Tour is a development of the unique and innovative staging of the 2015 tour, featuring multiple performance areas, a state-of-the-art sound system, plus an all new super high-res LED screen nine-times the resolution of the 2015 screen.

Ozzy Osbourne a fost operat de urgență

Ozzy Osbourne a fost operat de urgență, sâmbătă dimineață, și a fost obligat să își anuleze concertul pe care trebuia să-l susțină în cursul serii în Los Angeles.

Rockerul britanic a anunțat pe contul său de Facebook că a fost operat la mâna dreaptă din cauza unei infecţii. El a adăugat că se simte bine și se află sub supravegherea medicilor.

Ozzy a dat asigurări că marţi va reveni pe scenă, în Chula Vista, iar concertul din Los Angeles a fost reprogramat pentru 16 octombrie.

Pentru a-şi asigura fanii că starea lui este bună, Ozzy Osbourne a publicat pe conturile de Facebook şi Instagram o fotografie în care apare mâncând îngheţată. „Mă simt mai bine după operaţie. Îngheţata ajută'.

Ozzy Osbourne se află în prezent în turneu – „No More Tours 2' -, prin care sărbătoreşte cinci decenii de activitate şi care va marca şi finalul carierei sale. Seria de concerte se va încheia în 2020.

Conor McGregor, snopit în bătaie de Khabib Nurmagomedov! Haos și bătaie generală după partidă!

Khabib Nurmagomedov, campionul mondial la categoria ușoară, l-a învins pe irlandezul Conor McGregor, într-o partidă spectaculoasă, care a fost urmată, însă, de o bătaie generală.

La finalul partidei, rusul a mers către echipa lui McGregor, unde a început o bătaie generală, potrivit GSP.ro. La rândul lor, cei din stafful rusului  au sărit pe McGregor.

Se pare că totul ar fi pornit de la niște jigniri care i-au fost aduse lui Khabib, iar scandalul a fost oprit abia după intervenția polițiștilor. Trei membri din echipa lui Khabib Nurmagomedov au fost arestați.

În urma incidentelor de la finalul meciului, Dana White, președintele UFC, a refuzat să-i ofere centura lui Khabib: „S-au întâmplat multe lucruri urâte. Sunt dezgustat”.

This coward jumping the cage is a disgrace! The bus has been and gone! This man has just been in a very hard fight and this man has just tried to steal it on him with a bare knuckle! He’s a coward whoever he is! An absolute DOG! UFC have to deal with this!

Totodată, Comisia Atletică a decis, în urma unei anchete, ca Nurmagomedov să nu fie plătit pentru acest meci ca urmare a acestor incidente.
