F1 Rocks Off
Political unrest on the oil-rich island of Bahrain has forced cancellation of the Formula 1 motor racing Grand Prix March 13 and the F1 Rocks concert scheduled a day earlier.
F1 chief Bernie Ecclestone had shown concern at the escalating violence on the streets of the tiny island, but said he would leave the race’s fate to the country’s leader, Sheikh Hamad bin Isa Al-Khalifa.
Ecclestone also said it may be possible to postpone the race and the concert until later in the F1 calendar. It is produced by London-based Enterprise Entertainment and was to feature David Guetta, Taio Cruz and Sugababes.
At press time it wasn’t clear if the race will take place at a later date, but The Bahrain International Circuit (BIC) has said the country would “withdraw from hosting this year’s F1 Grand Prix race so that the country can focus on its process of national dialogue.”
If the race can be rescheduled it’d be less of a setback for Enterprise, which took over the running of F1 Rocks after All The Worlds – a Universal Music Group joint venture –pulled out after staging one show in Singapore.
It began struggling to attract sufficient sponsorship to cover the artist fees and Universal appeared to lose its enthusiasm for the project.
Enterprise hasn’t had much luck since it began with F1 Rocks. It produced a successful show headlined by Stereophonics at last year’s Italian Grand Prix, but two months later in Brazil the outdoor event was hit by bad weather.
That show was also a success in terms of attendance, pulling 25,000 to see a bill that included Eminem and NERD, but high winds and torrential rain put a dampener on the occasion.
The GP2 Asia series race scheduled for the Bahrain circuit Feb. 17 was canceled because it wasn’t possible to get the medical backup required to stage it.
The local doctors were busy in hospitals dealing with casualties from the protests.
Enterprise communications chief Christine Gorham, who has six years working in F1 public relations and left Live Nation to return to return to the world of motor racing, says her company is looking to set up at least three or four more F1 Rocks shows during the current Grand Prix season.

Why we love Jade Ewen
Jade Ewen is the latest in a long list of Sugababes who, if previous history is anything to go by, has anything from 2 to 9 years left with the group. But one thing we do know for sure is that she is going to leave, at some point, and the group will carry on with the same name and totally different members until the end of time. ProbablyHaving got in to a theatre school, Jade was an actress before she was a singer, appearing in The Bill and Casualty. She even made it to the West End, landing the part of Nala in The Lion King when she was just 12 – exactly as The Saturdays member Vanessa White has done since having been to the same theatre school. They must know ‘people’. Then, still only 14, she sold her soul and appeared in a Busted video.
Still, after that she tried to sort her life out again. She was a member of a different girl group called Trinity Stone, which did absolutely nothing in two years and then broke up. Not to be denied though, Jade carried on in the music industry, recording and co-writing songs here and there before getting selected to represent the UK in the 2009 Eurovision Song Contest. Then later that year, she was announced as the replacement for Keisha in the Sugababes, even though she says she had no idea she was joining the group when she flew out to film a video with them. Come on now Jade, surely you had an inkling…

Sugababes head back to music scene as they choose their comeback single
Sugababes head back to music scene as they choose their comeback single
The Sugababes are set to emerge from hiding this summer after picking their comeback single.
Longest-standing member Heidi Range says the girls’ return will be the perfect way for her to celebrate a decade in the ever-changing group.
‘We’ve been in the studio and we’re working on the new album so hopefully it will be ready for summer,’ she told Metro.
‘We did a song last week that we think could be a first single. That’s exciting when you get to that stage.’
The trio still have a few songs to go and are not giving anything away about their new image yet.
‘We haven’t really decided on the tracks but we’re trying out different styles,’ the 27-year-old said.
Range says she, Amelle Berrabah and Jade Ewen welcomed their time out of the spotlight since Ewen replaced Keisha Buchanan, the remaining founding member, in 2009 after a series of rows.
There are no cat fights these days, said Range. ‘I’ve been in the band for ten years in August, which makes me feel really old,’ she added.
‘Me and the girls get on great so it’s nice that we’ve been able to take our time with this album and it’s not a rush so we’re getting it right before we bring it out.’
