"He made an accidental fall, through the window of a high floor of a Parisian building," said Sebastien Farran, one of his managers. The accidental circumstances are also reminiscent of DJ Mehdi, a brother-in-arms also too fast in 2011.

A death that marked the world of French electronic music but also the current "French Touch" (The Funk Mob, Motorbass, Cassius).

"Dreems", fifth album of the Cassius duo.

The release of Cassius' new album, June 21, comes two days after the death of Philippe Cerboneschi said Zdar, half of the electro group he formed with Hubert Blanc-Francard.

This fifth album of the duo Cassius exudes a sensuality that had everything to swirl on the dancefloor our summer.

"The beach is never very far from the turntables. As Vedra or Summer's "balearic" spray suggests, before English-speaking Owlle can boast the sex appeal of Do not Let Me Be or the more pop dreams of Dreams and Walking in the Sunshine. "

Alex Kapranos, singer of Franz Ferdinand, said he was "totally devastated" by the loss of his friend. The French DJ had collaborated with the rock band for their latest song "Always Ascending".

WITH ROLLING STONES

to replace a defective heart valve.

He fires the fire as he proved on Friday, June 21, during the band's concert in Chicago.

"I apologize to all our fans who already have tickets. I hate to disappoint you this way, "wrote the singer on Twitter on March 30th.

At 75, the "grandpa of rock" is still as bouncy on stage.

Wrapped in a dark sweatshirt, electric guitar in hand, the 75-year-old rocker had released a few hours before his concert a video of him playing some notes in the empty stadium.

Following the success of Rocketman,

the biopic about his life, Elton John extends his tour of Farewell and adds two concerts in France.

A complete world tour for singer Elton John to global success.

His farewell tour, "Farewell Yellow Brick Road".

Performed at the same time as the release of Rocketman, the biopic about the life and career of the performer of I'm Still Standing, this tour promises to be the last of his career. Started in 2018, it should last several more months.

The reason ?

The huge success of the feature film produced by Dexter Fletcher, already behind Bohemian Rhapsody.

A spectacular show that looks like a retrospective.

Already actor Taron Egerton in the crazy musical Rocketman that was released on May 29, 2019 hoisted the British star to unreachable heights.

But nothing beats seeing the real Sir Elton John, on stage, for his great farewell tour of the "Farewell Yellow Brick Road World Tour," before he finally draws his bow to devote himself entirely to his little family.

Sir Elton John will receive on Friday 21st the Legion of Honor from the hands of President Emmanuel Macron.

PRECIOUS COLLABORATIONS

ON THE ALBUM OF ED SHEERAN

King of charts. Pop star Ed Sheeran has invited the big names of the current music industry for her 6th project which will be released on July 12 in the bins. The performer of "Shape Of You" can only satisfy his fans since yesterday afternoon, when he unveiled the official tracklist of his new baby, No.6 Collaboration Project.

For his 6th project of this kind, the British singer brought together around him the biggest names of the current music scene.

Expected for July 12, the album is already promoted by the duo "I Do not Care (with Justin Bieber)" and the title of "Cross Me (feat Chance the Rapper and PnB Rock).

This summer Ed Sheeran will soon be posting her third single.

And it should be this long-awaited featuring with the sultry Cardi B and the Latin Camila Cabello, the two revelations of 2017. Titled "South of the Border", the title is already a buzz on social networks.

But these are not the only big names that Ed Sheeran decided to gather on No.6 Collaborations Project.

The Brit will slum with Travis Scott on "Antisocial" and with American rap Eminem and 50 Cent on "Remember the Name".

More surprising perhaps, Khalid will open the album with "Beautiful People" while Ella Mai will come to bring its natural grace on "Put It All On Me".

HER should not go unnoticed on "I Do not Want Your Money". But it's "Blow" (with Bruno Mars and Chris Stapleton) that could explode the streams counters.

This is a perfectly impressive list of collaborations Ed Sheeran has just revealed on June 19, 2019. Ed Sheeran does not stay in his corner with his pop-folk style, he experiments and mixes genres.

MADONNA LEAVES MADAME X

Three years after "Rebel Heart", Madonna finally comes back with a new studio album. "Madame X" was released this Friday, June 14th. The icon of the pop unveils this Friday "Madame X", his fourteenth album.

"Madame X" has 15 songs (18 in the luxury version), of which Madonna wrote all the lyrics - in English and Spanish - and shared the production with three regulars, Mirwais, Mike Dean and Diplo and Major Lazer.

A committed album

Asked about her title I Rise, which begins with the voice of Emma Gonzalez, a young high school student who was rescued from the Parkland shooting on February 14, 2018 Madonna, an expatriate in Portugal, responds by taking a more critical look at her country of origin . "America is undergoing extreme changes, some are very disturbing," she says. Song containing a sample of a speech by Emma Gonzalez, activist for the prohibition of firearms, clip featuring transgender rapper Mykki Blanco as Joan of Arc at the stake ...

For her return, "the queen of pop" does not take four paths. "I walked this Earth as black, queer, and HIV positive, but no offense against me was as powerful as the hope that I opposed it." This quote from Mykki Blanco appears at the end of the Dark Ballet clip.

She who has always fought against discrimination does not intend to rest her pilgrim's staff, nor to be silent in the face of the rising of extremes. Hence the sometimes dark tone of Madame X whose cover shows a brown and severe Madonna, with the lips as sewn with a black thread to prevent it from expressing itself.

A disc constantly oscillating between Latin, pop and rap, the return to the production of Mirwais, the former musician Taxi Girl, who had made his last great albums ("Music" in 2000 and "American Life" in 2003), the influence of Lisbon, where she lives since 2017, this character of "Madame X" described as "a secret agent who travels around the world, who changes his identity and fights for freedom" make this 14th album, melting pot with unequivocal political messages, an "uppercut". Mistress shot.

The star will be touring from September in the United States in small venues, before passages in Lisbon, London. She will perform next year at the Grand Rex, in the heart of the capital, for a residency event from February 18 to March 1, 2020. "I will have dancers but not as much as usual. I will have by my side many musicians that I have but not as much as usual. I will have with me many musicians whom I met in Lisbon, I will put them forward ... "

"I found my people here and a magical world of incredible musicians, who reinforced my beliefs about music as the universal soul, connected across the world.
