If you're a fan of Idols then listen up. The very first Pop Idol, Will Young will be touring South Africa later this year for the Unite of the Stars gala in November. If you recall Christina Aguilera was here, as was Diana Ross so it promises to be good. Have the promoters let us, the public know this early because they're scared nobody will buy tickets or is it just because they can't leave the public in the lurch... it's just too exciting? Well all I know is that the "Evergreen" singer will be performing 7 concerts around the country to raise his bit for charity. Good on you ol boi, what a good lad. For the Eastern Capers out there, you'll be glad to know that you'll be able to see Young performing in P.E, which I think is good. Who knows perhaps by that stage, Karin (our idol for 2005) will release some musical material. Don't hold your breath. Anyway for more details on Will's tour check out this link.

Fact 2: David Gray

David Gray was born in 1970 in Manchester. When he was 9, him and his family moved to Wales. He attended the University of Liverpool and began playing in punk bands while at college. But it was from there that he began to experiment with what many called "A more poetic form of writing". It was then that he decided to move again, this time to London where he could be closer to the music business. He was soon signed to Hut records in the UK, and Carolina in the U.S followed by his first release in 1992, called 'Birds without Wings'. More tomorrow.
