NewsSly And The Family Stone play first UK show in 20 yearsFunk legend Sly Stone made his first appearance on a British stage in over 20 years last night (July 21). With a new version of his band, The Family Stone, the star headlined the first night of a rain-hit Lovebox Festival in Victoria Park, east London. The frontman did not initially appear as the band - fronted by his sister Vet - performed hits such as set opener 'Dance To The Music' and 'Everyday People'. When Stone did appear, he sang lead vocals on 'If You Want Me To Stay' and 'Sing A Simple Song' before telling the crowd he "needed a piss". Stone did return though, leading the band through euphoric versions of 'I Wanna Take You Higher' and 'Stand!'. Other bands who performed on the day were Blondie and Super Furry Animals, who kicked off proceedings and then flew off to Dublin immediately to close the Lovebox bash there. Lovebox continues tday in London with performances from the likes of The Rapture, Hot Chip and headliners Groove Armada. Usher parts ways with manager mum Usher and his mother Jonetta Patton have ended their business relationship, the singer confirmed today. The R&B star whose full name is Usher Raymond felt it was best to separate his business and personal life, telling the Associated Press "it means I now get to have my mother strictly as my mother with no added pressure". Patton had been his manager since the start of his career in 1994. The star's statement to AP said: "At this time in my life, I am simply more interested in building the strength of my family. And in order to do that, I feel it's best to separate my business life from my personal life". Usher is famous for his hits 'You Make Me Wanna' and 'Yeah', as well as an acting career that included a recurring role on the sitcom 'Moesha'. He is currently gearing up for the follow-up to 2004's 'Confessions', which sold nine million copies worldwide. |
