A mansion in Surrey that was owned by The Beatles' John Lennon has gone on the market for £15 million. Lennon lived at Kenwood mansion in the St George's Hill area of Weybridge between 1964 and 1968 and is believed to have penned a number of tracks for 1967's "Sgt Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band" there, the BBC reports.
The legendary Beatle bought the property for just £20,000 on July 15 1964, living there with his first wife Cynthia before he married Yoko Ono in 1969 and moved to New York. [NME]
Last week, Motley Crue drummer Tommy Lee sent a note to Sea World asking the theme park to stop using his band's music and to shut down its "Shanu Rocks" shows for the sake of the animals. Lee teamed up with PETA (People For The Ethical Treatment Of Animals) to address the issue, and now the park has responded.
"PETA [People For The Ethical Treatment Of Animals] is wrong concerning the effect of music on SeaWorld's killer whales," said SeaWorld VP of Communications Fred Jacobs. "We have never played a Motley Crue song in any Shamu show, nor will we. I can assure you the volume of music played during parts of our killer-whale shows poses no risk at all to our animals."
Motorhead are offering a preview of their new album, "The Wörld Is Ours - Vol 2: Anyplace Crazy As Anywhere Else". The project will be released in Europe on September 21, the UK on September 24 and October 9 in North America. [Hennemusic]
Tommy Lee decided to team with the group that tried to free killer whales by claiming that using whales for performance is a violation of SLAVERY? He's more of a nut than I thought...
I understand having concern for animals, but Tommy Lee is so unreasonable. He goes straight to an ad hominen attack, then completely ignores what Sea World said to him.
