Will Smith planning world tour in 2016

RAPPER-TURNED-ACTOR-TURNED-RAPPER again, Will Smith has revealed that he will be hitting the road in 2016 for a world tour joined by DJ Jazzy Jeff.

Smith revealed he was ‘terrified’ about returning to music and said, “Fear is the killer of creativity. And there’s also a misconception about failing. No, you have to fail a lot. You have to fail early. You have to fail often. And you have to fail forward. So I’m trying to get comfortable getting back to failing.”

Smith recently released his first song in over 10 years rapping on a remix of Bomba Estéreo’s song, “Fiesta”.

Spice Girls and the Backstreet Boys on tour together, really?

RUMOURS are that ‘Spice Girls’ and ‘Backstreet Boys’ will be on tour together, very soon!

In an interview, Backstreet Boy’s AJ McLean discussed the rumours and said, “The Spice Girls tour has been this idea bouncing around for the past year and a half, and it’s something we’re still talking about.” In the meantime, McLean also said that the Backstreet Boys are heading back into the studio soon to start work on their new album.

“This is just the beginning phase, but we’re hoping to have the album done before our cruise in May,” said a statement by the band. The band is hosting “BSB Cruise 2016,” from May 10-14, which will hit up Spain, France and Italy.

But the Spice Girls haven’t confirmed whether or not they’re getting back together (fingers crossed).

“Nothing has been announced, nothing’s official. I mean yes, we are in talks, because it is our 20th anniversary, and I want something to happen,” Mel B told in a recent interview.
