Beyoncé pulled off stage by crazy fan in Sao Paulo, Brazil

A Beyoncé fan went too far Sunday night, pulling the singer off the stage during her performance in Sao Paulo.

Security reacted promptly, quickly pulling Beyoncé back to the stage, but the situation had all the signs of turning ugly as the shirtless fan was forcefully escorted from the venue. The performer, though, reacted with grace and tact, calming the crowd and saying that "everything is all right."

In fact, the singer took it a step further, shaking hands with the fan, saying, "Thank you. I love you, too." The performance then continued with a huge approval of the crowd, who chanted "Beyoncé, Beyoncé."

*Electric Zoo festival cancelled* after two people die.

The final day of Electric Zoo, an electronic music festival taking place in New York, has been cancelled after two festival goers died.

According to the New York Post, officials cancelled the event after a man and a woman died on Saturday (August 31) from unknown causes. However, local police say they believe the deaths were caused by ecstasy. A further four festival punters are in a critical condition in hospital.

A statement issued by New York officials read: "Due to serious health risks, the Electric Zoo music festival on Randall's Island on Sunday, September 1st has been cancelled. The City recommended cancellation and the event promoters have agreed.

"During the first two days of the Electric Zoo music festival, two concert-goers have died and at least four others became critically ill and have been placed in intensive care at area hospitals. Definitive causes of death have not yet been determined, however, both appear to have involved the drug MDMA (ecstasy, or molly). The Electric Zoo organizers have worked with City officials to reduce health risks at this event, but in view of these occurrences, the safest course is to cancel the remaining day of the event."

In a statement posted on the festival's official website, organisers added: "The founders of Electric Zoo send our deepest condolences to the families of the two people who passed away this weekend. Because there is nothing more important to us than our patrons, we have decided in consultation with the New York City Parks Department that there will be no show today."

 

Sunday's line-up would have featured performances from Diplo, Steve Aoki and Sebastian Ingrosso among others.

One Direction And The Angels?

COULD One Direction really be heading for the Victoria's Secret catwalk as this year's headline act? Rumours abound this morning that the British boys - who are currently in the grip of a worldwide media frenzy thanks to the launch of their first film, This Is Us - will be hitting the catwalk along with the label's Angels in November.

The official line from the brand when we called this morning was that they "can't confirm anything" until this year's act is announced, but the image of the boys dancing alongside Miranda Kerr, Alessandra Ambrosio, Candice Swanepoel, Lily Aldridge, Doutzen Kroes, Erin Heatherton, Lindsey Ellingson et al has proved almost too exciting for the band's faithful Directioners to bear.

Justin Bieber headlined last year's show, which attracted 7 million television viewers - following in the footsteps of acts including including Maroon 5, Rihanna, Jay Z, Katy Perry, Nicky Minaj, Kanye West and Bruno Mars. The One Direction booking would confirm their status as this year's biggest act.

Beyonce flaunting her several V Fest outfits

1.) Before her set had even started, ladies favourite Beyonce was booed having arrived over half an hour late for her set - meaning her show was to be cut short - leaving the crowd very disappointed.

The show included five costume changes, with a spangly bodysuit, a green flapper dress and a black sequined combo among her outfits.

5ive will make you get down now!

2.) The reunion circuit has finally caught up with 5ive who, spurred on by the success of their ITV comeback performance, lost their festival virginity to a full capacity Arena Stage crowd with hits like Keep On Movin’ and When The Lights Go Out making everyone get down.

Stereophonics made a huge comeback this year at V!

3.) Battling wet conditions at Weston Park, Stereophonics marked a comeback summer with a bold Virgin Media Stage set.

Leaning heavily on their recent album, Graffiti On A Train, they still found time to turn to delve into their ‘big bag’ of classics, like Mr Writer and set finale Dakota.

Kings of Leon new album "Mechanical Bull" released soon.

4.) Nashville rockers Kings of Leon gave their best festival show in years as they returned to V Festival, united and stronger than ever, ready to let go with their forthcoming album, Mechanical Bull.

Two Door Cinema Club return.

5.) If, like most people, you missed them at V Festival back in 2009, Two Door Cinema Club returned this year with plenty of treats, including their new Madeon produced single, Changing Of The Seasons, and a handful of indie rock anthems, each made for the dancefloor.

Lady Gaga to make return at iTunes Festival?

Lady Gaga is set to make her live comeback at the iTunes Festival later this year!

The pop sensation was forced to postpone her "Born This Way" tour dates to have hip surgery and has been out of action since February.

But the US diva is reportedly set to return to the stage at London’s Roundhouse in September as part of the iTunes Festival.

 

According to The Sun, her Haus Of GaGa team are spending £500,000 on the production, so it'll be a night to remember!

A source told the paper: ‘The gig in Camden has a huge budget and is likely to be the first anyone sees or hears of her album.

The Haus Of GaGa team have been working in secret on costumes and stage sets for the show from their base in Paris.

‘Gaga’s dancers have also been rehearsing but she’s only told her closest friends about the new direction she’s taking.’

They added: ‘The music is going to be a big departure and Gaga’s dreamed up a whole new image for the album.’

Kings of Leon, Elton John, Tom Odell, Queens of The Stone Age and Arctic Monkeys are just some of the acts who have already been confirmed for the iTunes Festival.

Blur working on new album material 2013

Blur are raring to get back in the studio to work on new material, with front man Damon Albarn saying the new material will be released, but only once he's released his solo album.

The Wall Street Journal claims he confirmed the album in an interview, but that it will not be released just yet.

The news appeared after Albarn hinted earlier this year that the band were cooking up some brand new material. Amazing news for all your die-hard Blur fans!

Albarn has most recently been working on his own album with XL Records boss Richard Russell. He recently said ‘We worked together on the Bobby Womack record, and really enjoyed working together. He’s done spectacularly well as a music mogul, but I think he wants to focus his energy on producing records.

‘Making a solo record can be such a disaster, so I thought if we’re going to make a record with my name on it, I should get someone to really produce it – take that responsibility away from myself.’

Albarn is currently in New York promoting his musical 'Monkey: Journey To The West'. Speaking of the show and his various other musical projects, he also spoke more of his new solo album. He said: "You can hear a lot, what's going on. It's quite intimate."

Rio Ferdinand: We'll win the title for Moyes

RIO FERDINAND has warned Manchester United’s rivals: We are desperate to win the title again for our new boss.

The veteran defender said: “To win the league under David Moyes would be phenomenal.

“Last season was one of the best when we won title No 20 but this could go beyond that.

“To win it at the first attempt with a new man in charge would be something special.”

Ferdinand is staying on at United despite Alex Ferguson leaving.

And he is convinced the Premier League champions will be as strong as ever next season with Moyes at the helm.

The former England centre-back, 34, added: “Moyes is a real football man and an honest guy.

“His hard working ethic reflects the man himself and he obviously wants success. We’ve got a great chance with this manager.

“Every year when we have the end-of-season party we are thinking about the next season and what we are going to do.

“We always talk about improving on the previous season. That was no different this year just because the manager has changed.”

Ferdinand has also told top players round the world that if Moyes wants to sign them they should seize the chance of going to Old Trafford.

He said: “If United come in for you, you take it."

“Even if you are a great player you become a better one at this club. Cristiano Ronaldo became the best player in the world having come from Sporting Lisbon.

“The likes of Ryan Giggs, Roy Keane, David Beckham, Andy Cole all became great players at United. With this platform you cannot believe anyone would ever turn it down.

“We are well paid, of course, but it’s more important for me to be at a club which enjoys success, and historically is the greatest in the world, than to earn a bit extra somewhere else.

“I could have left United for more money but that’s never stimulated me. I’ve had the greatest stage here.

“If you have ambition your aim has to be to make a name for yourself at a top club. Money should not be the over-riding factor.

“As a player aged between say 23 and 27 that is what you should be looking at. It shows you are going somewhere and want to win trophies.”

But Ferdinand hopes returning Chelsea chief Jose Mourinho will not be back on the trophy trail anytime soon.

He said: “As a fan it’s good to see personalities like Mourinho coming into our league.

“But, hopefully, he can wait till I’ve retired before he wins anything at all.”

Mumford and Sons bassist Ted Dwane to have surgery for blood clot on brain...

Folk-rock band Mumford and Sons have postponed three US gigs after bassist Ted Dwane was taken to hospital with a blood clot on his brain.

A statement from the band said the musician had been "feeling unwell for a few days" and was receiving emergency treatment in hospital.

It said: "The scans revealed a blood clot on the surface of his brain that requires an operation. Ted is receiving excellent care and we are being assured that he will recover quickly from surgery."

The four-piece band shot to fame with their debut album, Sigh No More, which was shortlisted for the 2010 Mercury Prize. It's follow-up, Babel, went to number one in the UK and the US.

They said the shows would be rescheduled as soon as possible. For the sake of all festival goers, lets hope that he recovers in time for Glastonbury.
