Caine referred to himself as the “original bourgeois nightmare – a Cockney with intelligence and a million dollars,” which suits the type of vehicle he purchased.It was described as a luxurious car, “trimmed with a superlative mix of sumptuous leather hides, rich wood veneers, and deep lambswool carpet”, and was known to be “expensive.”According to the BBC, the actor walked into the Jack Barclay showroom in London with a list of things to buy: “Milk, bread, newspaper, cigarettes, Rolls Royce,” but was shot down because of his untidy appearance.Caine eventually purchased the car at another dealership later on.Sir Michael sold the vehicle two years later to a nightclub owner Jack Leach, who owned the car for 43 years until his death in 2013.The classic car went under extensive restoration before being sold, in addition to repainting it in its original black colour.Senior motor car specialist at H&H Classics Damian Jones said: “Sir Michael Caine is a true British icon, so it’s a pleasure to be able to offer his very first car for sale, which in itself is another great British classic.”In other news, Sir Michael Caine responded to claims that the 1964 film Zulu is piece of culture that “incites the far-right”.

Margo Price and Sierra Ferrell have teamed up to create a reimagined version of Price’s ‘Strays‘ standout ‘Change of Heart’. Check it out below.The duet transforms the Americana chart-topping song into a stripped-back arrangement departing from the original psych-rock track.“Sierra is one of my favourite new voices in music and I loved getting to work with her on this acoustic version of the song,” said Price.She continued: “I love to lift up other women in the genre when I see somebody putting out great art.

Chris Willman Senior Music Writer and Chief Music Critic Whenever country-rock pioneers of the late ‘60s and very early ‘70s come up — whether it’s the Byrds, Burritos, Poco, Michael Nesmith, et al. — the Rolling Stones tend to be left out of the conversation. Maybe that’s fine: It’s not as if there aren’t other reasons to bring them their (dead) flowers. Still, they were experimenting with hybrid genre elements as early as 1968’s “Beggars Banquet” LP. Those latent elements mostly stayed kind of latent: Even though Keith Richards — admirer of Merle Haggard, close pal of Gram Parsons — took it very seriously, Mick Jagger admitted, “I don’t know if I’m able to do it without being tongue-in-cheek.” But if the group could only move so close to country in the end, country was sure able to move closer to them over the years. Think of how many cues the loud and rowdy Southern rock movement took from the Stones before it started crossbreeding with country later in the century.

Days of Our Lives was guaranteed a 60th season after it was renewed for two years by its new home Peacock.

Country artists are always finding ways to put their own unique spin on songs that may inspire them – especially pop songs.

Dev Hynes – aka Blood Orange – has launched a new show on BBC Radio 3 which, and I quote, “celebrates all aspects of classical music and explores the wider musical world from electronic through to soundtracks”.Called ‘Composed With Devonté Hynes’, the programme also aims to “showcase how classical music is constantly evolving”, with the official blurb adding: “From shining a light on overlooked composers through to navigating the beauty and tension of modern music, the series will be an intimate glimpse into the mind and influences of one of the most exciting and boundary-pushing artists of the last decade”.The twelve part weekly series will start airing on Radio 3 this weekend, though the first three episodes are already available on the BBC Sounds app. And as the show premieres on air, Hynes will play two dates at the Barbican in London on 18 and 19 Mar where he will be joined by the London Symphony Orchestra to perform “contemporary classical music that confronts the complexities of 21st Century identity and defies the expectations of orchestral music”.Commenting on all this, Hynes says: “I am honoured to present this series dedicated to my influences within the classical world.

With a litany of medical problems, it's astounding that Bret Michaels feels and looks as good as he does at 60. "I feel more passionate and just as excited as ever," he explained of hitting the milestone birthday.  "I feel more energetic and grateful. " "With all of the crazy diabetes and the brain hemorrhage, I’ve been through a lot of adversity and I’m still here," the Poison rocker shared to USA Today.

Michael Schneider Variety Editor at Large Time to get more sand for the hourglass. “Days of Our Lives” has been renewed by Peacock for two more seasons, which means the iconic soap opera will make it to at least its landmark 60th season. “Days of Our Lives” moved to Peacock in September, having previously aired on NBC since 1965. “Days” was NBC’s longest-running drama series before switching to Peacock in 2022. This new two-year deal for Seasons 59 and 60 reps a much swifter and calmer renewal for “Days” than it has experienced in recent years, when deal between NBC and Sony Pictures Television (which distributes the soap) seemed to always come down to the wire. As ratings declined for soaps, that has been a perennial issue at the networks (where the tally on broadcast nets now stands at just three — two on CBS and one on ABC).

Blood Orange, will be presenting a new 12-part series about classical music on BBC Sounds.The first three episodes of Composed with Devonté Hynes will are available to be streamed on BBC Sounds from today here, while all episodes will be broadcast weekly on BBC Radio 3. The series is set to “celebrate all aspects of classical music” while also touching on aspects of the wider musical world from electronic music to soundtracks.Hynes is also set to explore the music that inspired his career and the ways in which modern classical music is evolving, and he is also set to take the opportunity to shine a light on overlooked composers.Each episode focuses on a different theme, including 20th and 21st century opera, music for cello and contrabass and piano music for escapism.

Meredith Woerner Deputy Editor, Variety.com A new, hot literary collab just dropped: Hellboy creator Mike Mignola and Lemony Snicket from “A Series of Unfortunate Events” fame are partnering up for an illustrated and annotated edition of Carlo Collodi’s classic novel “Pinocchio.” Variety has the first look of the little wooden boy, reimagined by Mignola. Teaming back up with award-winning colorist Dave Stewart, Mignola returned to his gothic roots for a reimagining of the centuries-old story that will be published by Beehive Books. But despite the wooden boy’s recent, Oscar-winning popularity, Pinocchio has always influenced Mignola’s oeuvre. “This is a book I’ve loved since I read it when I was a young teenager,” Mignola told Variety. “I really think between this and Dracula, this is what’s formed whatever the hell it is I do, my sensibilities.” When first approached by Beehive Books to contribute to their collection of reworked literary classics, Mignola was hesitant, unsure of what he could bring to this translation, “I got spooked because it’s been so well-illustrated over the years.”

The Rolling Stones are facing a copyright lawsuit over their 2020 track, ‘Living In A Ghost Town’.In the suit, a little-known songwriter called songwriter Sergio Garcia Fernandez, who performs under the name Angelslang, claims that the legendary band’s recent track “misappropriated many of the recognisable and key protected elements” from two of his songs, 2006’s ‘So Sorry’ and the following year’s ‘Seed Of God’.Fernandez claims that he gave a CD of music to an “immediate family member” of Mick Jagger, with elements of the two tracks then allegedly used in the band’s 2020 song.In a statement (via Billboard), Fernandez’s lawyers said: “The immediate family member … confirmed receipt … to the plaintiff via e-mail, and expressed that the musical works of the plaintiff and its style was a sound The Rolling Stones would be interested in using.”It goes on to allege that ‘Living In A Ghost Town’ lifted “vocal melodies, the chord progressions, the drum beat patterns, the harmonica parts, the electric bass line parts, the tempos, and other key signatures” from ‘So Sorry’, and the “harmonic and chord progression and melody” from ‘Seed Of God’.Representatives for The Rolling Stones did not respond to a request for comment from Billboard.Elsewhere, The Rolling Stones are reportedly collaborating with Paul McCartney and Ringo Starr on their new album.According to Variety, multiple sources have confirmed that two surviving The Beatles band members have contributed to an as-yet unannounced Stones album, which is said to be produced by Andrew Watt.

The Rolling Stones have been sued over allegations that their 2020 track ‘Living In A Ghost Town’ rips off not one but two earlier songs. The artist behind those earlier works alleges that the band got hold of his music via a member of Mick Jagger’s family.When released in April 2020, ‘Living In A Ghost Town’ was the first new music from the Stones in four years, and their first original song since 2012.

Disney’s animated “The Little Mermaid” is really beloved, and most of Disney’s live-action remakes of their animated classics have grossed over $1 billion at the box office and have been generally adored too. But “The Little Mermaid,” the live-action reimagining of the studio’s Oscar-winning animated musical classic that dares to star a black girl as Ariel, Halle Bailey (“grown-ish”), has been met with, let’s say, some backlash and controversy from those corners of the Internet.

documents filed Friday, Roku disclosed that it had approximately $487 million held by Silicon Valley Bank, the Northern California financial powerhouse that failed this week, sending shockwaves throughout the region’s economy.That number, Roku says, represents approximately 26% of its cash and cash equivalents, and the company will be able meet its pending financial obligations for at least “the next 12 months and beyond.”Santa Clara-based Silicon Valley Bank was closed on Friday by the California Department of Financial Protection and Innovation, a spectacular and rapid end to what had for decades been one of the pillars of financing in the white hot tech industry economy.It’s a complex and still developing story but what is known is that on Wednesday, the bank told investors it needed to raise just over $2 billion to offset $1.8 billion in losses it incurred from investments in mortgage backed securities, which were devalued thanks to the Fed’s decision to raise interest rates.Despite the somewhat routine nature of the announcement, the next day, in what one investor described as “This was a hysteria-induced bank run,” dozens of SVB’s venture capital clients — urged on by billionaire Peter Thiel — attempted to pull their assets from the bank.More to come…
