Aerosmith’s forthcoming live dates in the UK and Europe have been moved for a second time, with the band now set to complete a series of gigs in June and July 2022.
“Due to current conditions and for the safety of our fans, the 2021 European Tour has been rescheduled to 2022,” the band said in a statement. “Please stay tuned for more information regarding the new dates or contact your point of purchase. All tickets will be valid for new dates.”

The Weeknd Super Bowl Halftime Documentary Coming to Showtime
What goes into making one of the biggest musical productions of the year? Showtime is pulling back the curtain on the Pepsi Super Bowl Halftime Show in an upcoming documentary.
The Show, directed by Emmy nominee Nadia Hallgren (Becoming), will shed light on the tireless hours, days and months of collaboration that went into The Weeknd's hit-packed performance during an unpredictable and tumultuous year.
“The Pepsi Super Bowl Halftime Show is undoubtedly the world’s biggest stage, producing the most viewed and talked about moment in music every single year,” said Todd Kaplan, vp of marketing at Pepsi in a press statement.
"The pressure to deliver an iconic, memorable and entertaining performance is felt well beyond the artist, as there are a number of people – behind the scenes – who are vital to its success. With our new documentary coming to Showtime, we are taking fans on the emotional and thrilling journey of what it takes to make the biggest show of the year – with the added complexity of doing so amidst a global pandemic. With Jesse Collins and a number of super-talented creatives at the helm, The Show chronicles all the drama and hard work that goes into successfully pulling off a show of this magnitude.”
This year marked the second collaboration between the NFL and Roc Nation on the the halftime show, with Collins becoming the first Black executive producer of the extravaganza. "We get a window into the process of a diverse team of executives and creatives working at the highest level, in front of and behind the camera," said Hallgren in the statement. "It’s fun to see these masters at work while they also uplift others. I hope this can inspire people to pursue big dreams.”
The Show is produced by the Pepsi in-house content studio and Boardwalk Pictures (Cheer, Chef’s Table) and will premiere later this year.

Harry Connick Jr. Goes It 'Alone' for Faith-Inspired New Album: Watch 'Amazing Grace'
"Alone With My Faith" is out March 19.
We've all had a lot of time to ourselves over the past year -- even Harry Connick Jr.
The Grammy-winning musician decided to take that spare time and retreat to his in-home studio for a brand-new album, Alone With My Faith, that he put together almost entirely on his own.
"I was able to go deep within myself as a musician and a man, uninterrupted by the normalcies of collaboration or human interaction," Connick wrote in a personal statement about his new project. "It was a sort of 'musical isolation chamber,' a silent retreat, the silence only broken by the sound of my own voice, the instruments I played and the occasional microphone I inadvertently knocked over, as I’m not the most graceful recording engineer that ever lived!"
Connick sang every part, played every instrument and arranged every song on the album, out March 19 via Universal Music’s Verve and Capitol CMG. Up first is his stirring rendition of "Amazing Grace," along with a music video directed by Connick's 24-year-old daughter Georgia.
In addition to "Amazing Grace," some other familiar spiritual titles on the track list include "How Great Thou Art," "Because He Lives," "Be Not Afraid" and "The Old Rugged Cross," mixed in with some Connick originals.
"Besides the familiar, traditional songs, I wrote and recorded new music that tells the story of my experience during the lockdown," he adds in his personal note. "I, like most of us, felt joy, sadness, doubt, conviction, melancholy and inspiration - all the emotions that faith, or lack thereof, can elicit. Even though many of the songs are Christian, my hope is that they will resonate with people of all faiths, as it gives me great comfort to know that faith is an immeasurably beautiful gift that, with its universal spirit, can help bring us together in the most arduous of times."

A 1982 Basquiat Is Expected to Fetch Over $30 Million at Christie’s Hong Kong, Setting a Record for a Western Artist in Asia
As auction houses prepare to enter another season with most of the world in lockdown, they are seeking ways to make sure their sales still feel like events. To that end, Christie’s is holding a single-lot sale in Hong Kong dedicated to a pricey painting by Jean-Michel Basquiat on March 23.
The painting, titled Warrior, is from 1982, Basquiat’s most coveted year, and is estimated to fetch between HK$240 million and HK$320 million ($31 million to $41 million). Christie’s co-head of postwar and contemporary art, Cristian Albu, tells Artnet News that the work, which carries a third-party guarantee, is expected to become the most expensive by a Western artist ever to be sold in Asia.
The Asian market’s appetite for Western art has been steadily increasing in recent years, and Albu says the auction house was particularly encouraged by last year’s results, which saw a wide net of Asian buyers bidding on work spanning the 20th century, as well as a new world record set for George Condo in Hong Kong in July.
“Collectors are increasingly making links between traditional artists and Western art history,” Albu says. “I think it’s so important to broaden that idea of building the collection and understanding that Sanyu also gets inspired by Matisse, or that Zao Wou-Ki gets inspired by Soulages and the artists in Paris in the 1950s and 1960s.”
Warrior depicts a full-length figure, sword in hand. It last sold at Sotheby’s London in 2012 for $8.7 million and has been in the same collection ever since. Before that, it had an active decade on the market, having traded hands three times in seven years. During that time, its price climbed some 450 percent.
The single-lot sale in Hong Kong will kick off for a five-hour marathon day of sales that continues in London with Christie’s 20th-century art evening sale and surrealist art evening sale.
The live auctions will be digitally streamed from salesrooms in Hong Kong, London, and New York, a continuation of the global strategy Christie’s began experimenting with in July 2020 with its four-location relay sale, “ONE.”
The sale will begin at 2 p.m. London time (10 p.m. in Hong Kong, 9 a.m. in New York), an unusually early start for an “evening” sale, in an effort to tempt Asian buyers to stay awake and active throughout the evening while still being late enough for US bidders to have had time for a quick espresso.
It certainly doesn’t hurt matters that Hong Kong’s market seems to be recovering from the impact of the pandemic more quickly than Europe and the US. At Christie’s December 2 sale in Hong Kong and New York, some 17 records were broken for modern and contemporary artists from around the world, including Dana Schutz and Amoako Boafo; it marked the house’s best result in Asia yet.
Hong Kong sales tend to draw a whole gamut of Asian collectors, according to Albu. “I was on the ground for that sale, and the whole web of collectors goes from Taiwan to China, to Hong Kong, to South Korea, to Japan, to Malaysia, Indonesia, to Singapore,” he says.
Basquiat’s Warrior will be on view at Christie’s showroom at Rockefeller Center in New York beginning next week, before it is flown to Hong Kong to be shown at Alexandra House until the sale.
