Singles of the Week include Boyzone and Chiddy Bang

Chiddy Bang: Truth (EMI)

The cartoonish, indie-splicing, mixtape-flaunting hip hop duo sample Passion Pit for this latest exuberant banger. Truth makes you want to ride a victory lap of your ’hood on a scooter – and with their album on the way, th-th-that’s not all, folks!

Katie Melua: The Flood (Dramatico)

Wholesome pop chanteuse in impressively moody single shocker! Katie Melua’s tracks generally feel like drowning in a sea of pleasantry but The Flood hints at something stronger – and the chorus is powerfully swell.

Boyzone: Love Is A Hurricane (Polydor)

Boyzone frontman Ronan Keating once made the solo observation that Life Is A Rollercoaster and now his band is comparing love to extreme wind. This, however, sounds like nothing Pepto-Bismol wouldn’t sort out.

Stone Temple Pilots: Between The Lines (Atlantic)

Now this is more like it – rehab romance. These grizzled rock’*’roll survivors return with a rip-roaring serenade that includes the line: ‘You always were my favourite drug/ Even when we used to take drugs.’ They deserve an ovation simply for still being able to stand up.

Owl City: Umbrella Beach (Universal Island)

Another artificially flavoured serving from the Turkey Twizzler of synth-pop. Even if you have a penchant for whiny vocals and plinky keyboards, Umbrella Beach really is the last resort.

Boyzone - Stephen Patrick David Gately

Stephen Patrick David Gately (17 March 1976 – 10 October 2009) was an Irish pop singer-songwriter, actor, dancer,musician and author, who, with Ronan Keating, was one of two lead singers of the pop group Boyzone. All of Boyzone's studio albums hit number one in the United Kingdom, their third and last being their most successful internationally. With Boyzone Gately had a record-breaking sixteen consecutive singles enter the top five of the UK Singles Chart. He performed for millions of fans globally. He released a successful solo album in 2000, after the group's initial breakup, which charted in the UK top ten and yielded three UK hit singles, including the top three hit "New Beginning". Gately went on to appear variously in successful stage productions and on television programmes as well as contributing songs to various projects. In 2008, he rejoined his colleagues as Boyzone reformed for a series of concerts and recordings.

Gately wed Andrew Cowles, first in a commitment ceremony in Las Vegas in 2003 and more formally in a civil partnership ceremony in London in 2006. Gately made his sexuality known in 1999 and came out in a blaze of publicity. He was the first ever boyband member to do so. Upon Boyzone's reformation, Gately featured as part of the first gay couple in a boyband's music video in what was to be his last music video with the band, for the song "Better". He was discovered dead at an apartment he owned with Cowles in Majorca, Spain on 10 October 2009. Brian Boyd in The Irish Times said "Stephen Gately’s death represents the first time that the boyband genre has had to deal with such a tragic situation". Tim Teeman of The Times (UK) heralded Gately as a hero of gay rights for his response to being "smoked out of the closet".

Tragic Boyzone star Gately set for bestseller list Read

Stephen Gately's posthumous children's novel is likely to go straight into the bestseller list when it is published this week. Boyzone singer Gately was finishing his 300-page fantasy novel when he died suddenly in Spain aged 33. More than 15,000 copies of 'The Tree of Seasons' have been pre-ordered -- 10,000 in Ireland and 5,000 in Britain -- according to its publishers. That level of sales in Ireland would put the book straight into the top three next week. "Stephen was so loved in Ireland that, predictably, interest in his book has been huge," a spokesman in Ireland for publishers Hodder & Stoughton said yesterday. "We think it may be one of the biggest children's titles this year." Breda Perdue, the managing director of Hodder in Ireland, was one of the first people to read the book. She said: "It was clear to me immediately that Stephen was a really talented writer. "The story is a really involving one, creating a detailed imaginary world along the lines of Narnia. I realised straight away that it deserved to be published in Britain as well as here, so I urged our parent company in the UK to take it on." The last few pages of the book were completed by Stephen's partner Andrew Cowles and by the Irish writer June Considine, who is a sister of well-known author Dermot Bolger.

The book tells the story of three British children who live near a forest where they discover a tree that is a doorway into a magical and dangerous world. There are four kingdoms in that world, each forever stuck in spring, summer, autumn and winter. The book will be published in hardback in Britain on Thursday priced at €18.50. Like Harry Potter, it is expected to appeal to all ages. Elton John pays tribute to Gately in the foreword.

Boyzone Stars Play Celebrity Charity Soccer

The game – which featured United players such as Dwight Yorke and Jaap Stam, as well as stars such as Tinchy Stryder, Ricky Whittle and Olly Murs – was part of the United Relief Live: The Big Red Day Out event in aid of Sport Relief and the Manchester United Foundation.

With performances by Tinchy Stryder, The Saturdays and Tony Christie, the game attracted over 30,000 people.

“Charity is the most important part of the day, and it’s a tribute to the foundation which put this show on the road,” said United manager Alex Ferguson. “Charities exist because of the people who support them, and that’s why I always applaud people who take part.”

According to the Manchester United Foundation’s website, the charity “aims to use the passion for Manchester United to educate, motivate and inspire young people to build a better life for themselves and improve the communities they live in. The Foundation delivers football coaching, skills training, personal development and life changing experiences, providing young people with opportunities to change their lives for the better. Through football, we encourage young people to develop as players and more importantly as people.”

Boyzone - Shane Lynch & Ronan Keating

Irish singer Shane Lynch didn't hesitate when he was asked to strip for the new Boyzone video - because he saw the saucy scenes as a chance to mess with the band's clean-cut image. In the promo for Love Is a Hurricane, Lynch shed his clothes, and he admits it was a deliberate ploy to move Boyzone in a new direction. He tells Britain's Live From Studio Five, "I actually suggested it. Me and the boys have always done tame videos and I said to the lads one day, 'We need to get naked!' "The album we've released is a different step forward for us boys, it is an obvious transformation musically. The video was a visual transformation. I just said, 'Let's push the boat out and do things differently.'" In other Boyzone related news star Ronan Keating has missed out on a race to Venice, Italy from London in a classic Jaguar sportscar - because the owner wouldn't let him get behind the wheel. The Irish singer helped launch a car versus train race across Europe on Thursday morning (29Apr10) - between a 1956 Grand Prix Jaguar D-type and the Orient Express. Keating had to settle for a seat aboard the Venice-Simplon-Orient-Express train, which is favored to win the race to Italy, after he was told driving the car would not be an option. Before the train left Victoria Station, the singer said, "I asked (to drive it) but they wouldn't let me." The car's owner, Jonathan Turner, will share the responsibility of getting the car to Venice ahead of the train with Octane magazine editor Robert Coucher, who organized the race. Both the train and the classic car are expected to arrive at their destination on Friday evening (30Apr10).

Keating eyes dark, edgy 'Hobbit' role

Ronan Keating has apparently auditioned for a role in The Hobbit as part of his quest to move into the movie industry. The Boyzone singer is still waiting to hear back from the producers behind the two-part Lord Of The Rings prequel. Keating said: "I don’t think I'll get the role of 'The Hobbit'. But I would like to take on roles which nobody would expect. I don't want to be reduced to love stories. I'd like to try dark, edgy roles. I need a challenge." The father-of-three told freundin.de that despite his acting aspirations, he is still committed to Boyzone. "I just love to work with the guys," he said. Director Peter Jackson recently confirmed that both Hobbit scripts have been delivered to MGM and the Guillermo del Toro project is currently in the budgeting stages.
