The Woodstock Degeneration: Two major concerts are planned for next year to coincide with the 30th anniversary of the Woodstock Festival. Any- one with sour memories of the 25th anniversary mudfest in 1994 will take this news with a pinch of acid.
Sabbath Bloody Sabbath: The original Gothmetal band, Black Sabbath, is celebrating its reunion with a live album and a full-scale world tour. Founder-members Ozzy Osbourne, Tony Iommi, Geezer Butler and Bill Ward will try and recreate that ol' black magic.
Unholy alliance: Whitney Houston and Mariah Carey will record a duet for Dreamworks' new animated feature, Prince Of Egypt. Expect a superstar contest using arpeggios, cadences and any other vocal weapon which comes to hand.
