Spice Girls To Perform at 2012 London Olympics

It’s been reported that the Spice Girls, including Posh, will be performing at the opening ceremony for the 2012 Olympics in London.

The Girls’ manager, Simon Fuller, says the quintet (Posh, Scary, Sporty, Ginger and Baby) could possibly schedule their reunion/final tour to coincide with the Olympic Games.

“They stand for so much in British music history and I can’t think of a better time for them to get back together for another performance,” says Fuller. “The demand for them as a band is as strong as ever.”

Fuller believes the girls will be ready to retire their Spice personalities come the 2012 Games, as the group “will not want to be performing hits like Wannabe in their 40′s.”

Robbie Williams Performs Live For BBC’s Electric Proms Concert Series

Robbie Williams made a triumphant live comeback in London last night (Oct. 21), as part of the BBC’s Electric Proms series of concerts.

Appearing at the London Roundhouse with a 38-piece band, including string and brass sections — led by Trevor Horn, who produced Williams’ new album “Reality Killed the Video Star” — Williams was in confident, relaxed form from the start. He made his entrance down a white staircase to current single “Bodies,” which entered the U.K. charts at No. 2 on Oct. 18.

Williams premiered seven songs from the new album, due Nov. 9 in the United Kingdom on Virgin Records. As well as “Bodies,” he aired what he said would be the album’s second single, “You Know Me,” alongside “Morning Sun,” “Blasphemy,” “Starstruck,” “Deceptacon” and “Won’t Do That.” Most of the new material harks back to Williams’ trademark adult pop sound, with little of the experimentation that marked his last album “Rudebox,” which proved a critical and commercial flop.

Stephen Davies, director of audio and music at BBC Worldwide said: ”We knew that there would be significant interest in this concert, but the public reaction has exceeded all of our expectations.”

UPDATE: Robbie Williams set a world record yesterday by having the most screenings of a live concert in theaters.The BBC’s live show “Electric Proms” was broadcast simultaneously in venues all over the world in 23 countries.Extra screenings are planned in the coming weeks for countries a bit further from Williams’ native England including Australia and South Africa.

Are you excited about a Spice Girls reunion?

Update On Stephen Gately’s Cause Of Death

Contrary to initial reports, Stephen Gately did not die by choking on his own vomit after a night of heavy drinking while in Majorca.

Further information has been revealed in the tragic death of Boyzone member Stephen Gately. The singer’s lungs quickly filled with fluid and doctors say that in most cases this is related to heart failure and could have potentially been Sudden Adult Death Syndrome (SADS).

UK cardiologist Dr. Sanjay Sharma explains:

“In young people like Stephen, under 35, the vast majority of cases are caused by either hereditary diseases affecting the heart muscle itself or an electrical fault of the heart…I would say it was an electrical fault, when the heart goes into a fatally fast rhythm, around 300 beats a minute. That would only need to happen for a couple of minutes to result in death. A medic would have had to have got to him within minutes. Often in these cases a first symptom of the condition is death, however he may have suffered palpitations and or blackouts.”

Toxicology reports aren’t expected for another few weeks, but the autopsy doesn’t suggest Gately’s death was caused by alcohol or drugs nor foul play of any kind.

The remaining members of Boyzone plan to accompany Gately’s body by private jet on its return to Dublin from Majorca later this week. His funeral is expected to take place on Sunday.

Boyzone Member Stephen Gately’s Cause Of Death Revealed

According to the Mirror, Stephen Gately died from complications of drinking in excess.

The Boyzone star was discovered by his partner Andy Cowles in his Majorca apartment. Gately was kneeling against the sofa with his face buried in a pillow.

Gately was reportedly out drinking at a club until 6AM and later died in his sleep after he choked on his vomit.

In the past, Gately has suffered from depression, but his attorney Gerald Kean has stated, “There’s no foul play involved. There is nothing untoward. It’s not drugs, it’s not suicide, it’s not murder, it’s not a fight.

“I’m devastated. I can’t believe it’s real,” said Ronan, fellow Boyzone member. “We’ve lost a best friend and a brother. Stephen was loved by every one of us. He was one of the most caring, compassionate and gentle people I’ve known.”
