Bowie/Sting Burlesque Club Stripped Of Location!

Haha, aren't I punny?

This item just in: A New York burlesque club part owned by DAVID BOWIE and STING has been left homeless after its Manhattan landlord pulled out of a deal at the last minute. Club boss IVAN KANE planned to launch Forty Deuce on West 21st Street, following successful chains in Las Vegas and Los Angeles. He secured licenses and a deal for a property - but the landlord reneged on the agreement, leaving Kane and his club without a home.

However, the entrepreneur is determined to continue his plans, with the two British rockers as partners. He tells the New York Post, "I'm coming to New York next week, and I'm not leaving until I find a place." (via ContactMusic)

Something tells me they will find a way to work this out.

Sting: 'Rock Music Bores Me'

From Reuters: Sting said contemporary rock music is so stagnant that he prefers to sing 16th century English ballads.

The former teacher who shot to fame as lead singer, bassist and composer in the 1970s and 80s for The Police told German newspaper Die Zeit that he prefers singing songs of Elizabethan lutenist and composer John Dowland to the rock music of today. His album of Dowland lute music "Songs from the Labyrinth" has topped classical charts on both sides of the Atlantic and entered the UK album chart at No. 24.

"Rock music has come to a standstill -- it's not going forward any more, it only bores me," Die Zeit quoted Sting as saying.

The 55-year-old singer, real name Gordon Sumner, had a string of hits with The Police with songs like "Roxanne" and "Don't Stand So Close To Me". He has since also had a lucrative solo career with songs like "Englishman in New York". "Forty years ago it was my dream to break out of Newcastle and never be poor again," he told the magazine. "I'm very privileged. I'm a successful musician, live in a beautiful house, and have a wonderful family."

I guess no Cold War Kids love from him either!

No comment on his own releases over the last decade. Because if today's music is boring, then his music, post-1992, would have to be classfied as..... (your thoughts in the comments).
