PAUL McCARTNEY & RINGO STARR SALUTE SINGER CILLA BLACK

Surviving Beatles Paul McCartney and Ringo Starr saluted singer Cilla Black -- one of their oldest friends and an original member of manger Brian Epstein’s NEMS creative stable. Black, who was beloved in her native England, was known in the States primarily for her Beatles connection. Black, who died at age 72 of presumably natural causes, was born Priscilla White, and discovered in Liverpool’s legendary Cavern Club, were she was employed as the coat check girl.

Black, who only scored a modest 1964 Top 30 U.S. hit with "You’re My World," was a British institution, scoring numerous hits, most produced and arranged by George Martin, including "Anyone Who Had A Heart, and "Alfie." She also was the recipient of three John Lennon and Paul McCartney originals; 1963’s "Love Of The Loved," 1964's "It’s For You," and 1968’s "Step Inside Love" -- which served as the theme song to her 1968 British TV show Cilla.

  • Paul McCartney saluted Black in a statement saying: "Such a shock to hear about Cilla's passing. She was a lovely girl who infected everyone with her great spirit. From first meeting her as a cloakroom girl at the Cavern in Liverpool, to seeing her many times since, she always had a fun loving dignity that made her a great pleasure to be around. She had a fine distinctive voice and was always a bit of a laugh. It was a privilege to know and love her."
  • Ringo Starr added: "I just heard the news Cilla Black has left us she was a good friend we will all miss her peace to Cilla peace and love to the family R&B xxx."

PETE TOWNSHEND: 'I'M DOING THIS TOUR IN MY SLEEP'

Pete Townshend admitted that the Who’s current tour is pretty much a cakewalk for him. During a lengthy chat with Mojo magazine, Townshend was asked why he hasn’t done more solo work and after explaining how much blood and sweat peers like Bob Dylan, Eric Clapton, Paul Simon, and Sting put into their tours, Townshend said, "The get behind their work, and the way they do that is they tour, and I don’t want to tour. The reason I can do it with the Who is that I don’t even do half the work! I’m doing this tour in my sleep, it’s so easy you can’t imagine. Roger (Daltrey), on the other hand, is struggling, battling, fighting, unsure as to whether he’s going to be able to get through the gig."

Townshend went on to say, "I go out and play a few chords, go like this (windmills his arm) a few times, and everybody thinks I’m a genius. I jump up and drown and they say, ‘Oh, look, he’s so fit!’ It’s very easy to do. The difficult bit is being stuck in a hotel somewhere for a few days longer than you might like and getting bored with the room service -- Jesus , it’s a hard life!"

  • Pete Townshend told us that he's constantly able to find ways to bring something new out of the Who's music and his performance: "No, I don't get bored with the Who show, but it is like Groundhog Day. We go out and it's like 'how can I make this different, how can I make this special.' And partly that's what I rise to, is trying to do something where I may push myself to higher heights each night and do whatever it is that I'm doing. Whether I can whirl my arm a couple of miles-an-hour faster than the night before, or hopefully play better music."
  • The Who kicks off its next North American leg on September 14th at San Diego, California's Valley View Casino Center.

CHRISTOPHER CROSS SET FOR SUMMER AND FALL DATES

Christopher Cross has a string of upcoming North American dates popping up this summer and fall. His most recent album, 2014’s Secret Ladder, features contributions from Late Show with David Letterman bassist Will Lee, famed Beach Boys sideman, keyboardist Gary Griffin, and Paul McCartney’s longtime drummer, Abe Laboriel, Jr.

Cross is best remembered for his early '80s hits such as "Sailing," "Ride Like The Wind," and "Arthur's Theme (Best That You Can Do)." Between 1980 and 1983, Cross scored eight Top 40 hits, and won the Grammy for Best New Artist in 1980.

  • Back in 2011, Christopher Cross returned with the critically acclaimed, Doctor Faith album. Unlike most artists who pocket most of their advance for a new album, Cross actually put it towards the album's budget for studio time and paying session players: "The guitars and vocals and things were done in my Pro-Tools studio at home, by (laughs) the drums weren't. The drums were done at Capitol (Studios) B, with 24 mics on a vintage Neve (console). So, the drums were done at Capitol B (laughs) you're never going to get a drum sound anywhere but someplace like that. The album has stings on it, y'know, 30 pieces, and so yeah, a $100,000 budget on the record and probably about 60 percent of it was what we did at Capitol-- drums and strings." :
