Since Prince’s death in April, we’ve seen performances honoring his legacy from Jennifer Hudson, D’Angelo, Alicia Keys, Madonna and Stevie Wonder ... basically anyone who’s graced a stage during the past two and a half months. Now, Demi Lovato’s added one more tribute to the bunch with a stunning cover of “Purple Rain.”
On Monday night (July 4), Lovato and her current tour partner, Nick Jonas, did their patriotic duty by performing at the annual Boston Pops Fireworks Spectacular. After trading verses on “America the Beautiful,”Jonas ceded the spotlight to Lovato, who brought the house down with her emotionally charged rendition of “Purple Rain.”

Backed by the Boston Pops Orchestra and swaying on a stage bathed in violet light, the 23-year-old floored the crowd, especially with a goosebumps-inducing final note. And, of course, the whole thing was capped by a dazzling round of fireworks. Prince surely would’ve loved it.

Review journal - Meat Loaf getting his health back on track


Review journal - Meat Loaf has vowed to go on a diet and get himself fit after collapsing at a concert last month.

Meat Loaf, real name Michael Lee Aday, was hospitalised with dehydration after falling to the floor at the gig in Edmonton, Canada, resulting in the cancellation of a number of tour dates.

The Bat Out of Hell musician puts his on stage struggles down to being unable to keep fit due to a series of debilitating injuries, but is now on a diet and has signed himself up to an intensive fitness program.

“I’m okay,” he told Britain’s Classic Rock magazine. “Weak. I’ve gotta go to physical therapy. I had back surgery and knee surgery within the last two years, and the knee surgery failed, so I haven’t been able to work out on tour.”

He added, “So I’m going to acupuncture, physical therapy, and a trainer, starting Monday for four days a week, an hour and a half each session.”

Although he currently has no live shows scheduled, the singer is expected to soon make an announcement about rescheduling the shows cancelled in the wake of his ordeal and is set to visit Britain to promote his new album Braver Than We Are, which is released across Europe in September and the 68-year-old star hopes he will have shed the pounds by the time he gets to the U.K., noting, “I’m in the UK from August 28 to September 10 and then I come to New York for a week and I go to LA for a week, for promo, then I’m coming home to rest for four weeks and do more physical therapy, plus I’ve been on a diet and I’ve lost getting close to 20 pounds now.

“So before August 28 I will lose another 15 before I get to do promo in the U.K. So we’re trying to watch out for my health and make it easier onstage.”

Speaking about his terrifying on stage collapse Meat Loaf explains that he was feeling unwell before the gig and had been drinking Pedialytes, an electrolyte solution in a bid to enable himself to perform.

“We were doing really well in Canada, until I got sick and I got dehydrated and then I had to drink what they call Pedialytes – gallons of them,” he revealed, adding that he fell unconscious during his stage collapse.

“I knew I was about to go and I didn’t want to just fall and hit. I was getting really dizzy and I’m going, ‘Oh my god, I think I’m gonna faint.’ So I didn’t want to stand there until I just fainted and cracked my skull open.

“So I just said, ‘Okay, I’m going to kinda go down.’ But about half-way down I went completely out, and I didn’t wake up until I got to the hospital.” See more games review to get more information.

Famous After 30: 7 Artists Who Made It Big Later in Life

Debbie Harry of Blondie photographed at Blanford Studios in London on March 8, 1978
Review journal, not all artists have the luck of a teenage Lorde, who learned to drive and win Grammys at the same time. Some artists play opening gigs for years, sell albums from their cars and wear Playboy Bunny outfits before making music history.


So don't cancel this week's garage band practice just yet! In fact, do consider quitting your day job. Check out this list of major musicians who made a splash after their friends and family thought it was too late.

Chainz​

In 2011, Playaz Circle's Tity Boi decided to make his name more "family friendly" and 2 Chainz was born. Apparently being a family man was all he needed, because his seventh mixtape, T.R.U REALigion, jumped onto the charts when he was 34. Since then, he's topped the Billboard 200 and rapped with the best of them, recording songs with Nicki Minaj, Kanye West and Lil Wayne.

James Murphy

Before creating LCD Soundsystem, Murphy dropped out of NYU and turned down writing for Seinfeld before it exploded. So maybe he didn't write one of the most acclaimed comedy shows of all time, but he did manage to heavily influence electronic music past the age of 30. In 2005, LCD Soundsystem released its first album and was nominated for two Grammys.

Matt Berninger​



Matt Berninger and his National bandmates kept their day jobs while promoting the band's self-titled first album in 2001, but in 2004, they left behind the 9-5 slog to focus on their band full time. Their third album, Alligator, was released in 2005 to critical acclaim when Berninger was 34, and their sixth album, Trouble Will Find Me, was nominated for a Grammy for best alternative album in 2014.

Thelonious Monk

Although he composed the immortal jazz standard "'Round Midnight" before turning 30 and was a well-respected sideman, Thelonious Monk didn't make much of an impact as a top-billed artist with mainstream audiences until his album Brilliant Corners (1957), which was released when he was 40. Monk would go on to become one of the most covered jazz composers of all time.

Rachel Platten​

It wasn't until 2015, when she released her Fight Song EP, that Platten rose to fame. By the time "Fight Song" entered the Billboard Hot 100's top 10, the singer-songwriter was 34 -- since then, it's been used by Hillary Clinton at presidential rallies and on the show Pretty Little Liars.

Debbie Harry


Hugh Hefner probably didn't realize a former Playboy Bunny would eventually create one of the most successful bands of the late 70s. Blondie's first album was released when Debbie Harry was 31, but their massive commercial breakthrough didn't occur until their third album, 1978's Parallel Lines, delivered the No. 1 Hot 100 hit "Heart of Glass" when Harry was 33. 

Leonard Cohen


Leonard Cohen was a poet and writer long before he started on the folk singer-songwriter track. In hopes of making more money in music than he did in literature, he moved to the U.S. from Canada and released his first album, 1967's Songs of Leonard Cohen, when he was 33. The album became a classic and kicked off a decades-long run of celebrated releases, including the endlessly covered "Hallelujah." In 2010, Cohen won the Grammy Lifetime Achievement Award.

Everything you wanted to know about Country Singer,Songwriter - Lori McKenna



Review journal, for 10 years, Lori McKenna has extended the reputation as one of country music’s top singer-songwriters. With cuts by such acts as Hunter Hayes and Faith Hill, she is may be best known as one of the Grammy-winning writers of “Girl Crush,” the massive hit from Little Big Town. She also found herself in the spotlight as a solo writer for penning Tim McGraw’s recent chart-topper, “Humble and Kind.” As McKenna gears up for the release of her Dave Cobb-produced upcoming album The Bird & The Rifle (out July 29)

Home is definitely where her heart is.

Though she has written for many of Music City's biggest artists, she chooses to continue to reside in her native state of Massachusetts. “They can’t get rid of me up here, at least for now,” she says. “It’s been good for me. I know myself as a writer to the point that if I lived in Nashville, I would want to write a song every day because of all the great songwriters that live there. I’m not an everyday writer. I need to sit on things emotionally, and I’m not good at that. I need some breaks in between. I think that with that, the kids still being in school here, and my husband’s job and our families being here, this is where I need to be. I can just jump in a car, get on a plane, and head down there when I can. That’s worked out really well for me.”

Her kids inspire her music.

“My family influences every part of my career -- from how I travel to how I tour to what I’m drawn to write about," says McKenna. "They’ve been with me on this musical journey from the very beginning. ‘Humble and Kind’ is really the first song I’ve written specifically for them and to all five of my kids, but they have always made their way into lines here and there along the way.” And her family is aware that things they say might just make it into a song. "They know me well enough by now when it comes to how my writer brain works. Sometimes they might say something and follow it with, ‘Yeah, write that.’ My husband in particular is very good about not taking songs personally -- he knows how the emotional content of a song has a mind of its own sometimes.”

Writing Tim McGraw's "Humble and Kind" humbled her. 

“The fact that Tim took this song that I saw as a prayer or a little list of things I wanted my kids to know and saw it as something bigger than that was amazing to me," she explains. "To have him sing it to so many people, I really feel like I wrote the song with him because he’s taken it to levels that I don’t have the ability to do, and honestly, I just didn’t see it that way. It’s been overwhelmingly wonderful to me, such a journey.”
Fun Facts: If it is fun and interesting, it belongs here interesting animal facts !

McKenna has been writing songs since her teenage years.

“Two of my brothers are songwriters, and I remember presenting one of them to my brother, Richie. We grew up on James Taylor, Carly Simon, Carole King, and Neil Young, and he listened to it and said, ‘How in the world did you just write a country song?’" she recalls. "The early stuff is a little bit scary to look back on, but you have to go through that.” And as a songwriter, McKenna loves to dig into the "extraordinary lives" of ordinary people. “It’s just a matter of picking it apart, and shining the light on that story or that amazing thing that happened to us. I love songs or stories that give you all the little tiny details, but let you paint the rest of the picture yourself. I love music where we know the details, but we invent everything else in our heads. Sometimes, the listener might hear the song a little differently than I do. That’s the cool part about it all. I think that every human has a lot of great and not so great things that happen to them, and I love those everyday stories.”

The lyrics of her song “Old Men Young Women” are ones she hopes don't come true anytime soon.

"That was Luke Laird's title. I wrote that with him and Barry Dean one day in Nashville. Luke said that he had this title, and the hook was ‘Old men, young women only work in the beginning.' I thought ‘Oh my God, that’s perfect,'" she recalls. "I think they wanted to write it with a woman and a woman singing it, because it came better from that perspective -- as the woman who has been through it, and maybe has been through both sides of that coin as the young woman and the older woman. It’s fun to play live, and it’s such a different character for me. Normally, I write what I think I know or what I’ve lived through. This has not been my experience -- unless my husband leaves me for a younger woman, then, I’ll let you know!”

Her Massachussetts accent made her the butt of jokes.

"When I started traveling for music, my accent became a bit of an issue because it was so thick. People would ask me all the time to say 'Park the car in Harvard yard' and it drove me crazy," McKenna explains. "I started trying really hard to pronounce my R’s and somehow I only knew how to do that in a southern sort of way. Ha! It’s a joke with the family now when we watch old home movies -- all of us had really thick South Shore accents and we’ve all learned to pronounce our words better. I think we can thank music for that!”
