It appears that there is currently a scam going targeting Wilson, with the people behind it sending out random Facebook friend requests on behalf of the singer.

The group posted on their official Twitter account:

If you’ve received a Facebook friend request from “Ricky Wilson”, please be aware that this is a scam. It’s not @Rickontour, he doesn’t have a private profile. Delete the request or, if you’ve already accepted it, unfriend the profile.
We’re also working on resolving the issue

Since forming in 2000, the band has released six studio albums, with the latest, Stay Together, coming out in 2016.

Wilson did confirm earlier this year that the band would be making new music. He said: “The cards are looking up. We’re writing, we’re always writing. We’re touring, we’re always touring. We’re signing a new deal. We’re making another record. When it comes out, we’ll do the rounds saying that it’s the best one ever – like we always do.”

The Sheffield band released their sixth EP Tranquility Base Hotel and Casino this month, which featured the band moving away from their usual sound.

During a recent interview with the Sunday Times, Turner was asked why he chooses to stick with the band rather than go solo.

“I enjoy their company,” Turner said in reference to his bandmates. “So, for instance, on this project [Tranquility Base Hotel & Casino], I was really unsure about what I was doing and lost with it completely. Then, when Jamie [Cook, guitarist] came out to LA to join me and we worked on stuff together, through his encouragement suddenly I felt completely different.

“[Cook] getting excited about it, like the way I remember him getting excited about some idea in his bedroom in his mum’s house when we were 16… I still get that buzz out of his reaction.”

The band have been posting GIFs for weeks of themselves and other artists. The GIFs also included the band’s logo and “Actual Pain.”

What does this mean? We do not know for sure at this stage, but the signs do certainly look promising.

On May 6th, the band shared a recent photo with the caption “see you soon.” Could this be a hint for an upcoming tour?

Furthermore on May 7th, the band posted black-and-white images of themselves during various periods of their career.

The band also recently shared cover art for Garth Brooks’ Ropin’ The Wind and Celine Dion’s Let’s Talk About Love.

The band could possibly be hinting at an EP or album where they will be covering songs by Brooks and Dion. We are not entirely sure what will happen, but it is almost certain that something exciting lay ahead.

The 17-year-old daughter of Will Smith and Jada Pinkett-Smith burst to fame as a 10 year old with the hit “Whip My Hair.”

Many youth today associate being famous with happiness and glamour. Willow has however revealed that experiencing fame at such a young age actually caused her immense problems.

“It was after that whole ‘Whip My Hair’ thing, and I had just stopped doing singing lessons, and I was kind of just in this grey area of, ‘Who am I? Do I have a purpose? Is there anything I can do besides this?'” she said.

“After the tour and the promotion and all of that, they wanted me to finish my album. And I was like, I’m not gonna do that. And after all of that kinda settled down, and it was like a kind of lull.”

Explaining why she turned to self-harm, she said: “I honestly felt like I was experiencing so much emotional pain but my physical circumstances weren’t reflecting that.”

The veterans of the rock industry are currently preparing to embark on a US tour, which will feature the majority of their original line-up.

The “1979” house party will allow fans to relive the 1996 hit song and will take place in Los Angeles on June 28th. Fans will also have a chance to win a Yamaha guitar as well as a two-night stay at The Hilton, which includes return flights to Los Angeles.

This week, the band’s frontman Billy Corgan compared the 90’s grunge scene to a high school popularity contest.

“If everybody is sort of branded with the same brush, okay we can live that,” he said. “But you know, you’d see some people would be exalted and their sins were forgivable.

“It really reminded me of high school, which I didn’t like. So now I’m in the bigger high school and now we’re playing with millions of dollars and millions of people, and it’s just like a popularity contest. And it brought out maybe the worst or the best in my personality, which was like, ‘I’m gonna take this on and I’m gonna use myself as the battering ram so I’m gonna make it about me, knowing it’s not about me.’”

Gates has yet to publicly reveal whether he will be releasing new music. However, his wife Dreka Gates has said that he had been working really hard in the studio and that fans can expect to hear from him soon.

Dreka also revealed that Kevin is unable to travel at the moment as the Illinois Department of Corrections have prevented him from leaving the state.

“The Illinois Department of Corrections has prevented Kevin from leaving the state of Illionis,” she said in a video. “He isn’t even allowed to come home to California where we live. Since he was released in January, he has not been able to come home not one time.”

While Gates did not give the names of any of his new songs, he offered an example of what fans can expect by playing snippets of his new songs and then rapping along to them.

Skiba opened up after a fan commented on his healthy-looking skin.

“Alba Botanicals pineapple enzyme Hawaiian facial scrub, drink lots of water, and get a lil sun,” Skiba says of his skin routine. “I just wash my face twice a day in the am and before bed and don’t moisturize. That’s just me tho.”

Skiba adds, “Oh, and a twice-weekly bath in the blood of virgins,” seemingly highlighting the importance of an apparent blood ritual in his quest for the best skin care. “I usually end up drinking it but that’s just me,” he explains.

Skiba who is also frontman of the band Alkaline Trio has been with Blink 182 since 2015.

He joined the band after Tom Delonge left the band to pursue other endeavors. Blink, who are veterans of the pop-punk genre, are reportedly now in the studio working on new material.

Anna Hedenmo, who is the general secretary of the Swedish Aid organization Radiohjälpen, paid tribute and wrote in a translated Tweet: “Rest in peace Tim Bergling and THANK YOU because you laid the foundation for Hunger Help with your generous contribution – 1 million euros – to Radiohjälpen.”

In 2012, Avicii also donated $1 million to the American charity organization Feeding America and in a 2013 interview he declared: “(When) you have such an excess of money you don’t need, the most sensible, most human and completely obvious thing is to give to people in need.”

Garvey was made a Honorary Doctor of Arts at the university in 2012 and will now offer a master class in writing music.

While he will be helping students boost their musical ability, Garvey also feels that doing the classes will help him better himself.

While speaking to the Manchester Evening News, he said: “I’m really looking forward to working with young songwriters at Manchester Metropolitan University.

“I’ve never had a conversation with another writer that hasn’t in some way informed my own work.

“I have been lucky enough to learn from some of the best ever. From Frank Black to Wayne Coyne. From Jolie Holland to Jimi Goodwin. From Jesca Hoop to John Bramwell. Robert Plant to Trevor Horn to Laura Marling to Josh Pearson. Steven Fretwell to Elton John. Ron Sexsmith to Matt Berninger to Lianne La Havas. Hamilton Leithouser to Kate Stables to Peter Gabriel.

“Those are some names people will know. I’m looking forward to working with names that everyone will come to know in a city that has nurtured some of the very best.”
