Canadian power trio Rush will kick off its first tour in five years June 28 in Hartford, Conn. The 27 confirmed stops are the first in the band’s planned extensive tour in support of its latest Atlantic album, “Vapor Trails,” due May 14.

Even in a world saturated by mass-marketed hard rock bands, no one can accuse Flying Tigers of manufacturing angst. The band’s tuneful, turbulent self-titled debut was born of frustration and hard times, and the group profits from the pain. The disc chronicles the former lives of frontman Ryan Martin and drummer Gary Benson in their grungy power-pop band Frankie Machine, and what happened in the days following the release of that band’s debut album, One, in 2000. “The week it came out everyone at the label got fired, then we got dropped,” Martin recalled. “At the time we thought it… Read more »

Imagine one of the biggest hip-hop outings in history taking shape this summer. It would be dubbed the Triple Threat Tour and feature multiplatinum acts Ja Rule, Jay-Z and P. Diddy. To top it off, each would bring with him his musical family. Representing with Ja Rule would be Ashanti and the rest of Murder Inc. Jay would “Roc the Mic” with his boys Beanie Sigel, Cam’ron and Memphis Bleek. And Diddy and his Bad Boy crew would do their thing. Keep imagining; although it was almost a reality, the tour has been called off. Last week, while promoting her… Read more »

Lenny Kravitz must be a firm believer in the theory that says a simple, direct approach is most effective. Why else would he call a tour to support his latest album, the rather uncomplicatedly titled Lenny, anything other than the decidedly descriptive Lenny Live? For his first full-scale North American road trip in almost three years, Kravitz, following a European tour and fueled by his current single, “Stillness of Heart,” is set to visit 33 cities beginning July 12 in Virginia Beach, Virginia, according to his publicist. The nearly two-month jaunt winds down September 2 in Phoenix. The last time… Read more »

Canadian singer Celine Dion will move to Belgium – not for the waffles or the beer – but to rehearse for her return to the stage next year. In an interview with Belgian television, Dion said she would be moving to La Louviere, a gritty steel town of 76,000 located 30 miles south of Brussels, for three months. “We found a small house there, that will be our home for three months,” Dion said. “I can’t wait.” The 34-year-old said she’ll move into the house sometime this fall. Dion said she was returning to live performances after two years off… Read more »

On the same day that the space shuttle Atlantis launched from Cape Canaveral, headed for the International Space Station, ‘NSYNC’s Lance Bass was continuing his own preparations to launch into space toward the same orbiting outpost. On hand Monday for the premiere of “The Sweetest Thing” in New York, Bass said he’s trying to maximize his downtime during ‘NSYNC’s current tour to fit in additional medical tests in the U.S. before he heads to Russia yet again to see if he can qualify for a fall mission aboard a Russian Soyuz rocket. “I’m still testing to see if I can… Read more »

Steven Tyler of Aerosmith may be blasting into orbit. The Boston Globe reports that Dan Forman, a spokesman for the band, said Tyler is laying the groundwork for a trip to outer space.

The 54-year-old Tyler is the father of actress Liv Tyler. The large-mouthed lead singer formed the Grammy-nominated band Aerosmith in 1970. Forman did not comment on how Tyler would pay the $20 million price tag for the trip.
