...reputation for egotism and headlines like "the Ego Has Landed" (The Independent on his "posturing" London Otello). Cura now says he is "a serious artist, not interested in marketing clichés like who will succeed the Three Tenors." He has the voice to be a great singer, but at 38-and dogged by accusations that he is more concerned with celebrity than with honing his vocal technique-his time is running...
Congressional investigators, meanwhile, have their sights on Roger Clinton, the rock singer who got his own pardon last month for a long-ago drug conviction, but not before asking his brother to grant clemency to half a dozen buddies. Clinton didn't, and Roger maintains he was never paid any money for those appeals. But two sources tell TIME that Horacio Vignali told associates he paid Roger $30,000 to work on the commutation of his son's sentence. A spokesman for Roger Clinton said he claims never to have accepted money from Vignali; an attorney for Vignali...
...This singer-guitarist writes songs that have the lost, lonely feeling of the last drunk left in a dive bar at closing time. White is a country singer, but not necessarily from any country on this planet: several of the songs on this album were produced by members of the trip-hop band Morcheeba, and drawing from that group's spirit, the tracks beep and buzz and whir like UFOs zipping across a prairie sky.

He started singing in music halls in the 1930s, then went on to write almost 1,000 songs over a six-decade career.

Although he announced his retirement in 1975, he released a last CD in 1995 and gave three sell-out concerts...
Meet Coldplay--singer Chris Martin, 23; guitarist Jonny Buckland, 23; bassist Guy Berryman, 22; and drummer Will Champion, 22--four fresh-scrubbed British lads who teamed up three years ago at University College London. The band's first full-length album, Parachutes (Parlophone), made its debut last May at the top of the British charts, went on to sell more than 2 million copies, and is now available in the U.S. on the Nettwerk America label. It shared the warbling vocals and slow, stately beat of Radiohead's more conservative efforts, and comparisons between the two bands ran amuck...
