Kanye West has rescheduled two of his upcoming Saint Pablo concerts after his wife, Kim Kardashian, was held at gunpoint in Paris.

According to a statement from Live Nation, the rapper’s Philadelphia and Detroit shows – which were originally scheduled for this week – have been pushed back until December because of “family concerns”.

As reported by Rolling Stone, the father of two will recommence his tour in Chicago this Friday.

Yesterday, the Famous hit-maker left his New York concert mid-show to be with his wife when she landed in the city just hours after a group of armed robbers dressed in police uniform attacked her in a luxury Parisian apartment.

While full details of the robbery have yet to emerge, early reports suggest the reality star was left begging for her life as the gang tied her up and made off with millions of dollars worth of jewellery.

Oh, Kanye…

The feud between Kanye West and Taylor Swift has been ongoing for a while now, but it seems that the rapper still isn't going to let things sit down.

While performing in Nashville this week, Kanye sang the controversial song, Famous, and then made the crowd chant, "F**k Taylor Swift." OUCH.

And not only that, he sang Famous THREE times just to make his point clear.

He later said to the concert-goers, "I need to hear that loud in Nashville. I need to head that SO loud in Nashville.

"So many people told me, 'You've got to take that line out of the song," he said during the concert. 

"You got to play it safe, but this is what rap music is. This is what art is. Saying how you feel. And this song is how I feel."

Is this celeb fight ever going to end?

Over the past year, Harry Potter mania has hit us once again.

Given that The Cursed Child brought on the nostalgia buzz, it's been nearly nine years since the last (proper) book was released and five years since the last film hit cinemas.

However, now there's something more to add to the mania – a concert.

Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone CONCERT is set to debut in the UK really soon.

The Harry Potter Film Concert Series is a full symphony orchestra performing alongside the original score and the first movie. It will kick off in London in May 2017 and then head to Cardiff, Birmingham, Manchester, Liverpool, Leeds and Glasgow. 

However, this isn't new.

Nope. In fact, it's been touring around the US for a while now. The conductor, Justin Freer, said of the show: it is with great pleasure that we introduce for the first time ever an opportunity to experience the award-winning music scores played live by a symphony orchestra, all while the beloved film is simultaneously projected onto the big screen.

"It will be an unforgettable event," he added.

Getting to the front row at a concert obviously has some major perks but as some dedicated Snoop Dogg fans learned over the weekend, it can also be pretty damn dangerous.

42 concertgoers were injured on Friday night at a joint Snoop Dogg and Wiz Khalifa concert in New Jersey when the barrier blocking the crowd from the stage collapsed unexpectedly.

According to the Digital Spy, one person suffered serious upper-body injuries as a result of the fall, but is now in a stable condition in hospital.  Others received treatment for broken bones.

 

Yahoo! Music has reported that the collapse happened as the rappers were gesturing fans to move towards the stage.

Videos from the night which have since appeared online show a sea of people fall forward onto the concrete in front of the stage.  The performers were then quickly escorted away by security.

Both Snoop and Wiz have since wished fans a speedy recovery on Twitter.  Snoop Dogg wrote: “Prayers out to my fans.  Wishn u all a quick recovery.  Love” (sic).  While Wiz Khalifa said: “Hope everyone from last night is alright.  That sh*t was crazy.”

Her MEGA loyal fans are known for going above and beyond to play homage to their icon.

And certainly, a recent concert at the Key Arena in Seattle was no different.

Performing on stage to an adoring crowd of some 17,500, the British songster picked out an impersonator from the crowd for special mention.

Indeed, the 28-year-old Oscar-winner even invited the drag queen artist – who looked gorgeously like Adele herself – onto the stage.

Named Kristie Champagne (although her real name is Kristopher Zello), Adele told her: "You look amazing, oh my gosh." She added gesturing at the full-length gown Kristie was wearing: "I really love that dress."

The drag queen, who performs as Adele twice a week, responded to her idol: "You seriously changed my life for the better." 

She also later shared snaps of her with the superstar on social media, captioning one image: "That moment you meet Adele… Your idol and inspiration… and you make the same dumb face you always make!"

Pop sensation Selena Gomez might be smashing her current Revival world tour but unfortunately that doesn’t mean the star is feeling totally herself.

Last night the singer got real with fans at her Indonesian concert and later used Instagram to share her emotions with the world in a heartfelt post.

According to Billboard, Selena appeared to get a little teary on-stage as she explained to her audience why the song Kill Em With Kindness is so important to her.  She said: “I get really frustrated. I get stupid sometimes.”

“I say things that I don’t mean, or that come out wrong just because I care so badly. But the thing is, at the end of the day, no war in anger was ever won.”

“I do know that deep down in my heart that I have to believe that we can love each other and always be kind no matter what it takes in us.”

While it’s not totally clear what sparked the star’s emotional presence, she later took to Instagram to say she “felt extremely unauthentic, unconnected to both myself and my music”.

 

 

Selena – who has just turned 24 – wrote: “I've never really felt like my materials, wardrobe or a video could define me. I act on a moment and fear something that hasn't happened.”

“I'm stagnant, I stay still and don't just sit with myself first and ask 'is this where I am, whole heartedly?'”

“I've always told the truth. I'm always true to my word, I've shown who I am but I need to rethink some areas of my life creatively and personally. had to get that out."

 

 

The post was captioned: “not being negative about anything I've done. I'm grateful for every single moment I get here – Indonesia you were LOUD and clearly inspiring. Love you so much.”

The Good For You singer has received an abundance of support from fans since the post first appeared with one writing: “I know you'll probably never read this but i, and all selenators, love you so much and will always be here for you no matter what. Please stay strong and don't loose that smile who stays us alive (sic).”

And another said: “Thank u for sharing. I think we all have those inauthentic moments. Your authenticity will rise above again. Sometimes we just slip into an inauthentic space (sic).”

A teenager from Kilkenny has died after collapsing at a Kodaline concert in Marlay Park on Friday night.

The 17-year-old girl was assisted by medical staff at the venue before being rushed to Tallaght Hospital where she was pronounced dead.

According to Independent.ie, the girl had underlying health issues and Gardai are not treating the death as suspicious.  

A Garda spokesperson told The Irish Sun: "A 17-year-old girl took ill at a concert in Marlay Park on Friday July 8.”

“She was treated at the medical centre on site before being transferred to Tallaght Hospital where she was pronounced dead a short while later.”

"A Garda report will be prepared for the coroner and an autopsy will be carried out to determine the direction of a Garda investigation."

Concert organisers MCD have released a statement on behalf of themselves and the band saying: "Kodaline and MCD’s immediate thoughts are with the family, relatives and friends of the deceased at their very sad loss.”

"The on-site medical team of doctors and paramedics immediately treated the young lady who was transferred to hospital by one of the on site ambulances.”

"Despite the best efforts of all medical teams, the young lady passed away in hospital."

Singer-songwriter Adele is well known for her emotional performances, but her concert in Belgium last night was particularly poignant as she struggled to fight back tears while speaking about yesterday's mass shooting in Orlando.

The Hello singer dedicated her entire performance to those killed when lone gunman Omar Mateen opened fire in popular gay nightclub Pulse in the early hours of Sunday morning, killing 50 and wounding 53.

She said: “I would like to start tonight by dedicating this entire show to everybody in Orlando and at Pulse nightclub last night.”

“The LGBT community…they’re like my soulmates since I was really young,” she explained.

The Grammy-winner's voice wavered with emotion as she spoke and she eventually turned away from her audience and cried for a moment before composing herself and continuing her show.

Adele is one of a series of well-known faces – including Adam Lambert and JK Rowling – to voice their upset over the incident.

Last night’s Tony Awards ceremony was also devoted to those who lost loved ones in the attack, with host James Corden paying tribute to those who died in his opening speech.

Selena Gomez has been having all sorts of random fun during her current Revival tour and luckily for one fan that trend continued during her Saturday night concert in Washington.

While on stage, Selena spotted someone in the front row who was FaceTiming their friend live from the concert.

Rather than get mad at the fan for using their phone during her performance, the former Disney star reached down from the stage and took the phone right out of their hand.

As her audience cheered, the Good For You singer began chatting to the person at the other end of the phone, asking them jokingly: “Did you guys not buy a ticket or…?”

Last month Selena plucked an audience member's “Marry Justin Bieber” sign from the crowd and crumpled it on stage during her concert in Fresno, California.

The songstress has also been posting pictures with fans outside her concerts to her Instagram account.

We're waiting on your call, Selena!

If you were in Ireland in the summer of 2014, then you'll probably remember the disaster that was the Garth Brooks concerts.

The singer had to cancel FIVE gigs as residents around Croke Park complained that it was too much, but now, the country singer wants to return.

An insider told The Irish Sun: “The message we got from Garth’s people is we need to talk urgently and get these Irish concerts sorted soon."

Apparently, Garth saw the success of Bruce Springsteen last weekend, and he himself wants to play an Irish concert once and for all.

“So much that went wrong before with Garth’s concerts was down to officialdom in Ireland so to have the Taoiseach making such a public show [for Bruce Springsteen] of how he was enjoying a concert at Croke Park is significant," the source revealed.

We're all on for it – we just won't get our hopes up!

If you haven't heard already (where have you been), Busted have reformed and they're on tour.

And Matt, who just welcomed a little baby girl, shared a video on the band's Facebook page.

Their track, Pigs Can Fly, is pretty brilliant to get you into a total nostalgic mood, and the video shes them performing it live.

If you're not heading to their gig when they come to Dublin, this video is going to have to do. And if you do have tickets, we're jealous:
