Ah, hey folks...its been a few days. Busy Busy times. Well here's some good news, As an investigation into her death is still ongoing, Amy Winehouse's Camden home in North London is being used as the new headquarters of the rehabilitation facility that is being established in her memory.

The Sun newspaper reports that the facility - created by her parents is being "set up with the intention of helping young people addicted to
drugs and in need of assistance with their lives." Full details about the Rehabilitation facility will be made known to the public on September 14th, which would have been Winehouse's 28th birthday.

Meanwhile, Tony Bennett has already pledged to donate all the royalties from the track Body And Soul - a duet by him and the late singer, to the
foundation.

He said: "All the royalties will go to the foundation
that Amy's father is starting to teach all the young children not to take drugs."

Confirmed: Don't be alarmed about the latest KOL fiasco affecting the South African leg of their tour in October.

A spokesperson has confirmed that the band will only be cancelling their U.S. Tour, and will honour all tour dates thereafter. So no worries!

Till Later.

KOL Cancel Their Entire U.S Tour: The taste of an Upcoming Split??

Kings of Leon, a photo by Yaghyah on Flickr.

So Kings Of Leon had to cancel their Dallas concert on Friday because their lead singer Caleb Followill told the audience after performing 11 songs — that his voice was faltering due to the extreme heat. Well, i think something's up, because NOW they've cancelled their entire U.S tour. Sounds like something serious is brewing, hope its not a taste of an upcoming split.

Apparently Caleb said that he would go backstage to get a cold beer and that he would come back - but he never did. It was later announced that Followill was suffering from dehydration and exhaustion.

Shortly afterwards fans booed the band and Caleb's brothers apologised profusely to the crowd. Meanwhile - the singer’s brother and bandmate, Jared, alluded to other issues....

He tweeted, “Dallas, I cannot begin to tell you how sorry I am. There are internal sicknesses & problems that have needed to be addressed. No words,” adding, “I love our fans so much. I know you guys aren’t stupid. I can’t lie. There are problems in our band bigger than not drinking enough Gatorade.”

Things are not looking good at the moment. Hope this AMAZING band sort out their issues... & come to SA this November!!!

Amy Winehouse Found Dead at Her London Home.

Amy Winehouse has been found dead at her home in London. The Back To Black singer was found at the property by emergency services at 3.54pm this afternoon, according to sources, and her death is being treated as 'unexplained' by police.

In a statement, the Metropolitan Police
said: 'Police were called by London Ambulance Service to an address in
Camden Square NW1 shortly before 16.05hrs today, Saturday 23 July,
following reports of a woman found deceased.

'On arrival officers found the body of a 27-year-old female who was pronounced dead at the scene. 'Enquiries continue into the circumstances of the death. At this early stage it is being treated as
unexplained.’ It is not known whether Amy’s father Mitch actually knows about his daughter’s death and Sky News have confirmed that he is currently on a
plane to New York to take part in a Jazz festival.

Winehouse had been seen with her goddaughter Dionne Bromfield earlier this week as the teenager took to the stage at the iTunes festival. She refused to join in for Mama Said, but did support the 14-year-old with a few dance moves before urging the
crowd to buy Dionne's new album Good For The Soul. A source said: 'Amy staggered onstage and grabbed the mic to beg
the crowd to buy her protege’s new album.'


Winehouse's appearance at the concert came after she cancelled her
European tour following a disastrous performance in June when she stumbled onto the stage in Belgrade
and gave an incoherent performance appearing very disorientated and
removed from reality. Following the concert which saw fans enraged and the subsequent video
that circulated to millions she cancelled
the remaining dates of her European tour. A statement released by the troubled singer's spokesperson said that the singer would be given 'as long as it
takes' to recover. The statement read: 'Amy Winehouse is withdrawing from all scheduled performances. 'Everyone involved wishes to do
everything they can to help her return to her best and she will be given as long as it takes for this to happen.'


Winehouse had been working on her long-awaited new album, the follow-up to her 2006 breakthrough multi-
million selling Back To Black, for the past three years. Winehouse has had a troubled life which has included various stints in rehab for drug and alcohol addiction. In an interview in 2008, her mother Janis said she would be unsurprised if
her daughter died before her time. She said: 'I've known for a long time
that my daughter has problems. But seeing it on screen rammed it home. I realise my daughter could be dead
within the year. We're watching her kill herself, slowly. 'I've already come to terms with her dead. I've steeled myself to ask her what ground she wants to be buried in, which cemetery. Because the drugs will get her if she stays on this road. 'I look at Heath Ledger and Britney.

She's on their path. It's like watching a car crash - this person throwing all
these gifts away.' As well her battles with drugs and alcohol, Winehouse also had a troubled marriage to Blake Fielder-
Civil, who she divorced in summer 2009. Fielder-Civil and Winehouse married in 2007 in Miami. The pair's relationship -heavily documented by the media - saw them appearing in public
bloodied and bruised after fights.

It is also alleged former music video producer Fielder-Civil was the one
who introduced the Back to Black star to heroin and crack cocaine. Amy's father Mitch previously spoke out about how his daughter stayed away from drugs prior to meeting her ex-husband. In a previous interview last year he said: 'He's not entirely responsible,
she's got to take a portion of the responsibility, but it's clear, it really kicked off when they got together.'



REST IN PEACE AMY WINEHOUSE. You were a legend and will be missed.

Black Eyed Peas Announce INDEFINITE HIATUS

Black Eyed Peas Performing at the 2011 Kids Choice Awards, a photo by Yaghyah on Flickr.

First contemplation of disowning one of their tracks, NOW The Black Eyed Peas have announced an indefinite hiatus. This was announced last week during a performance at the Alton Towers.



The band did say that they will get together again at some point though. Also - two weeks ago, Fergie announced that this is the last time they will be performing in England for a while.

She said: "We want you to know that we love you
and thank you for the support you've given from the beginning. This isn't going to be the last time you'll see us."



Meanwhile, will.i.am is about to release a new solo album named ’Black Einstein’ - this according to bandmate, Fergie. She also said that he already completed the disc and it will be released soon.

Will.i.am's last solo album was in 2007. The album ’Songs About Girls’ was not as successful as he thought which, he admitted last year.

Although there is some positivity from his bandmate about the new album due for release soon - Will.i.am believes that he has learnt from past failures.

Fergie said: "I believe Will is coming out with a solo album. I’ve heard it. It’s called ’Black Einstein’ and it’s amazing. I’ve been waiting for him to come out with this for so long because I want it. He won’t give it to me. I want it for the gym. He’s so amazing - just such a genius lyricist and I’m really excited for his project."

Amy Winehouse back to Drunk??

So The Amy Winehouse drinking spree continues and well... Its spiralling out of control. Its SO bad that she has blacked out on Vodka THREE TIMES this week.

Apparantley she has been drinking in her flat ever since her European Summer Tour was scrapped last month - this also after a shambly performance in Belgrade where Winehouse was drunk on stage.

According to a source - it said: "Amy is constantly out of control on vodka.
She is rattling about at home in north London drinking herself into oblivion."

ALSO, sources that performed with Winehouse at the city's Kalemegdan Park say that the singer was allegedly pushed onto stage against her will by British Bodyguards.

BELOW: Images of Amy's drunken performance at Kalemegdan Park, Belgrade three weeks ago.



Speaking about what she saw at the start of Winehouse's set, Ana Zoe Kida said: "Four British bodyguards simply pushed her to step up on stage. She did not want to and was making a scene trying to escape them. It was distressing to see, she obviously needed help."

...but a spokesperson for Amy Winehouse denies this saying that she "Voluntary" walked on with a friend.

So, uh who do we believe? Well i don't know.

Till then...
