Joe Bonamassa - Drive (Live At Carnegie Hall – An Acoustic Evening) 2017

In January 2016, Joe Bonamassa made a short acoustic tour in the United States with Anton Fig (drums) and Reese Wynans (piano), alongside Chinese-American cellist and erhuist Tina Guo, American mandolin and banjo player Eric Bazilian, Egyptian percussionist Hossam Ramzy, and Australian backing vocalists Mahalia Barnes, Juanita Tippins and Gary Pinto. The tour ended with two performances at New York City's Carnegie Hall on January 21 and 22, which were described in the tour's press release as being the recognition of one of Bonamassa's "childhood dreams".

Speaking to Guitarist magazine about the shows, Bonamassa recalled that "Carnegie was a life-long dream because I was a born New Yorker. Carnegie was this mystical place, you know? They don't run many non-classical concerts through there. To make it there and to do two nights with this incredible nine-piece acoustic band really means something to me and it was great”.

Mick Fleetwood claims he can't remember two whole years due to cocaine

The founder member of Fleetwood Mac says that some of the 1970s is a blank to him now.

He has suggested that he cannot remember two years of his life due to heavy cocaine use.

The drummer claimed that there was a period in his life when he was not working, about which he is unable to recall any specifics.

Speaking to Classic Rock magazine, Fleetwood said: “There’s no doubt we were well equipped with the marching powder. That’s a well-worn fairytale that gets more like a war story, that gets more and more aggrandised.

“I’m not minimalising the fact that we were definitely partaking in that lifestyle,” he added. “But these weren’t a bunch of people crawling across the floor with green froth coming out of their mouths, we were working, you know?”

Elton John Says That Musicians Lack Support Post-Brexit

The BBC reports that Sir Elton John has had "very positive" talks with Culture Secretary Oliver Dowden
about EU travel for UK musicians, but said visa-free touring is not currently "on the cards".

Last month, the star signed a letter demanding action to cut red tape and fees for musicians after Brexit.

The matter was "swept under the carpet" before the UK left the EU, he said.

He said it was now his "duty" to try to help improve the post-Brexit conditions for younger stars and crews.

Up-and-coming acts hoping to tour the continent when it is safe to do so will be "up against a brick wall" of fresh "bureaucracy", "paperwork" and added "finances", he said.

"It's much more difficult for young artists to get this together because of all the red tape," Sir Elton told BBC arts editor Will Gompertz. "Every country has these different rules, there's so much procedure to go through.

"People like myself are not really affected by it, we have a foundation of people who can look after it, it still has to be done but it's much easier," the 73-year-old continued.

"[But] we find ourselves in the situation because of Brexit, this has arisen. How do we fix this? How can we fix this?

"I want the situation to be resolved, so that young people don't have the difficulties of trying to tour in Europe, because it will affect their careers, it will stunt their growth and their creativity."
