Robert Plant to play for Wolves




Led Zeppelin frontman Robert Plant reportedly made a successful £900 bid to play for Wolverhampton Wanderers.

The 65-year-old donated the cash during Jody Craddock's testimonial dinner this week in a bid to raise money for the Birmingham Children's Hospital.


According to BBC Sport, Plant will now take part in next year's testimonial match for the 38-year-old, whose son Toby has been treated for leukaemia at the Children's Hospital.

Former Wolves manager Mick McCarthy is also said to have been in attendance at the event, which welcomed 280 guests.

Slash joins Ozzy and Geezer Butler to perform Black Sabbath classic


The former Guns N’ Roses guitarist is currently sitting in on select dates with the Ozzy Osbourne & Friends Tour, which is currently working its way through Europe. Also on stage with Slash and Ozzy are Black Sabbath bassistGeezer Butler and longtime Ozzy guitarist Zakk Wylde. Other unnamed special guests are also expected to join the tour at various stops.
The Ozzy Osbourne & Friends Tour was originally scheduled to be Black Sabbath’s reunion tour, but Tony Iommi‘s battle with lymphoma forced the change. Instead, Black Sabbath will only play at the Download Festival in Leicestershire, England this Sunday (June 10) and Lollapalooza in Chicago on August 3. Black Sabbath also played a warm-up show three weeks ago in their hometown of Birmingham, England, and, according to Ozzy, they have 15 songs written for their new album.

Queen,Elton John to perform at Euro 2012 Finals



Queen aren’t playing a ton of dates with interim vocalist Adam Lambert this year, but they’re making the most of the ones they do have on the schedule — such as their gig before the Euro 2012 finals in Kiev on June 30, which will find the band joining forces with Elton John.

All that star power is going towards a good cause: proceeds from the show will help support John’s AIDS Foundation and the Elena Pinchuk ANTIAIDS Foundation in their ongoing efforts to combat HIV/AIDS. The two foundations first joined forces in 2007, ramping up their collaboration last year with what a press release calls “a second initiative to the public — a new joint charity project providing prevention and care services for homeless girls and young women who live and work on the streets of Kiev, one in five of whom are living with HIV.”

For the members of Queen, of course, using music to help fund charitable research is nothing new. As the same press release notes, “One of the lasting results of a concert by Queen + Paul Rodgers at the Kharkov Plosha Svobody organized in cooperation with the Mercury Phoenix Trust in September 2008 was a new care centre for HIV-positive children in the Zelenogaisky orphanage in Kharkov which was repaired and renovated using the funds raised the concert.”

This year’s concert, held at Kiev’s Independence Square, is expected to draw a live audience in the hundreds of thousands while reaching millions more via televised broadcast.
