Billie Eilish said that her early curiosity in pornography had damaged her sex life and mental health.
“As a woman, I think porn is a disgrace,” she told Howard Stern”
“I used to watch a lot of porn, to be honest. I started watching porn when I was like 11.”
“I think it really destroyed my brain, and I feel incredibly devastated that I was exposed to so much porn.”
Eilish believes her struggles with sleep paralysis and night terrors were caused by her exposure to “abusive” BDSM.
According to studies, porn addiction is a silent epidemic that destroys the brain, productivity, and zaps your energy. The UK has taken steps that makes it harder for 18 and under to access porn.
Still reeling from the Astroworld fallout, Travis Scott has been removed from the Coachella lineup in 2022.
According to sources, Scott’s agent, Cara Lewis of the Cara Lewis Group was informed that Scott was being pulled from the headline gig, and that it would pay a 25% cancelation fee.
The future of Travis Scott and the live performances is on shaky ground. Hundreds of lawsuits have been filed against Scott and promotor Live Nation.
The once thriving UK live scene has turned into a ghost town. Artists have resorted to massive guests just to get people to show up
“You always had people that didn’t turn up,” said artist manager Graeme Stewart. “It was around 5% normally, but you’re getting as much as 40% no-shows for some gigs now. It’s an enormous problem, and it’s happening for anything that’s ticketed.”
Sacha Lord, the co-founder of Parklife festival and night-time economy adviser for Greater Manchester, said even the most popular line-ups are being affected. “We’re seeing a big drop-off, even at really hot, sold-out shows. It’s happening every single night, and it’s affecting all artists.”
Lord said it is not just venues that are struggling: “The knock-on effects of this are phenomenal. It’s decimating the whole industry.”
Morgan Wallen had a tough year and a great year, both at the same time. The media turned it’s back on the rising country star after using a racial slur, but nobody seems to care. In fact, the media hoopla drew more attention to the country boy, making him more popular than ever.
Morgan Wallen has sold out 48 of 54 dates on next year’s “The Dangerous Tour,” selling more than 705,000 tickets. Wallen’s sellouts include three nights at Nashville’s Bridgestone Arena, making the singer just the third artist, to sell out three nights after Garth Brooks and Taylor Swift.
He also added dates including a stop at Madison Square Garden and Crypto.com Arena.
Motley Crue sold their song catalog to BMG valued at approximately $150 million, although number is most likely much lower.
The band released a statement: “It feels amazing to be collaborating with our new partners at BMG. Their extensive track record of success in rock made them the perfect home to continue preserving and growing our musical legacy, ensuring we always stay at the top.”
Also note the band owns the masters to the recordings. They acquired their masters back from label Elektra in 1997.
Legendary songwriter Diane Warren says: “It’s something I would never do (selling songs). If they’re paying you 20 times what your catalog is worth, I could see why people would do it, especially if they need the money. I don’t need the money. “This is my soul and my soul wouldn’t be for sale at any price.”
