So sad… Joe Cocker Dead Famed singer Joe Cocker has died at age 70 from an undisclosed illness. BBC.com reports: Singer Joe Cocker, best known for his cover of the Beatles’ With A Little Help From My Friends, has died aged 70. The singer song-writer from Sheffield had a career lasting more than 40 years with hits including You Are So Beautiful and Up Where We Belong. His agent Barrie Marshall confirmed that he had died of an undisclosed illness. He said he was “simply unique” and “it will be impossible to fill the space he leaves in our hearts.” Known for his gritty voice, Cocker began his singing career in the pubs and clubs of Sheffield in the 1960s before hitting the big time. He was propelled to pop stardom when his version of The Beatles’ With A Little Help from My Friends reached number one. His duet with Jennifer Warnes, Up Where We Belong – from An Officer And A Gentleman – hit number one and went on to win both a Grammy and an Academy Award. He was honoured with an OBE in 2007. Last year he broke all his own records in arenas across Europe, with a number one album in Germany and what was to be his final concert in Hammersmith, London, in June. Rest in peace Joe. WENN
Okay so I never thought in a million years that I would ever get to meet Justin. Things like that do not happen to people like me and I never thought I’d be writing one of these. I already had tickets to see Justin on the 22nd February in Manchester because the Sheffield show got cancelled. I wasn’t meeting Justin so four days before the concert there was a competition on Facebook. You had to enter your name, email, phone number etc and then answer a question about Justin. The prizes were either a meet and greet for the Liverpool show, tickets to see Justin in Manchester, or tickets to see Justin in Liverpool. I entered it thinking “Oh this is just another competition that I won’t win.” It was Wednesday afternoon when I was in the car coming home from the doctors and I got a call from a random number. It turned out to be the competition that I entered on Monday night and the lady said to me, “You haven’t won any of the top prizes but you’ve won tickets to see Justin on the 22nd in Manchester, congratulations.” I was so shocked because I have never won anything in my whole life. I then got an email after the phone call with information about the tickets. After that I was at college doing work, minding my own business when my phone rang. I answered and it was the lady from the competition again. She said, “There’s space for you and a friend to meet Justin, would you like that?” When she said that I just freaked and said, “Yeah I would love to meet him!!” I hung up the phone and started freaking out and it was the day before the concert that this happened. The day of the show I went with my friend and my parents to Manchester. We went to pick up our M&G’s and tickets and then I went to stand with the other competition winners. We stood in our little group for about an hour and then we joined the queue to go down to the meet and greet line. It didn’t hit me that I was meeting Justin after waiting over 3 years. We went and stood in a long line for about half an hour and Dan Kanter started randomly walking down the line so everyone started asking for pictures and I got one with him. Eventually our group went through and I saw Justin standing there. Then it hit me that it was him. We walked over and I was so close to him. We got our picture taken and I looked at him. I didn’t know what to say and he looked at all four of us and smiled and said, “Thank you.” I walked out and I started crying because things like this do not happen to me and now it has it was so worth the wait, even if it was 20 seconds, it was the best 20 seconds of my life. Then it turned out that our seats were 4 rows away from the stage! It was the best day of my life. I could see Justin so close up – it was unreal. This experience goes out to everyone that thinks that they will never meet Justin because you will, it happens when you least expect it and if it can happen to someone like me who has the worst luck in the world, it can happen to you. -@HoranBieberArmy See more here: Okay so I never thought in a million years that I would ever get…
My name is Rebecca, I’m 16 and I live in Nottinghamshire, UK. On the 19th November 2010, my two friends, Chloe and Bridie and I camped out all night to buy six tickets to see Justin Bieber in concert in Sheffield, UK. By 9 o’clock, when the tickets went on sale, there was a lot of people queuing, so we were really pleased we stayed out in the cold, all night to be at the front of the line. We all wanted really good seats, so when the woman offered us front row seats, we were ecstatic! We all jumped up to hug eachother but headbutted really hard at the same time LOL! During the run up to the concert, my mum also booked 3 seats for us to see Justin in Nottingham the day after we were seeing him in Sheffield! Finally on the 23rd of March 2011, the day of the concert in Sheffield, we all skipped school and went to the Motorpoint Arena early thinking we might see Justin and all the crew. Eventually a tour bus pulled up to the arena, everyone went crazy! Pattie, Dan Kanter, Ryan Good, Kenny, Jaden Smith, Willow Smith etc. came off the bus but Justin wasn’t there. We were all gutted because we hoped that we would get to see him before the show started! The concert was amazing. we enjoyed every minute of it! We were also stood right in front of Justin’s team so we spoke to a few of them and high 5’ed some of them, they were all really nice and made us all laugh! During the concert Dan Kanter kept throwing guitar picks into the crowd and one landed in front of me. My favourite Justin Bieber song is ‘One less Lonely Girl’, it always has been and always will be. So when I saw Allison Kaye choose the OLLG, I kinda died inside. She was so beautiful and I was so jealous at the fact that she got to be on stage with Justin while he sang my favourite song. Little did I know that 24 hours later at the Nottingham concert, I would be chosen by Allison to be OLLG! On the way to the Nottingham concert on the 24th March, my dad said to us that none of us could go onstage that night because our seats weren’t that good, but I said that it could still happen. Well didn’t I prove him wrong! I was chosen to be the One Less Lonely Girl, my heart was beating so fast as i was walking backstage. I actually thought it was all a dream, I couldnt believe this was happening! We were sitting right at the back of the arena, I was so shocked! I got to meet some more of the dancers and they were all joking around with me and I also saw Jaden and Carin. I went on stage, and as soon as I saw Justin I was blown away. He was BEAUTIFUL, his eyes were gorgeous! I couldnt believe that he was staring into my eyes and singing to ME! When he hugged me, all I could think was that this was the most incredible night of my life. Something I will never, ever forget. Justin ran off stage to get ready for the next song and I was taken backstage by the dancers and I got to meet Kenny again, he knuckle touched me and said I was lucky. I also got to speak to Willow Smith! When I was walking back to my seat with TC, everyone was shouting to me that I was so lucky and were smiling and being really lovely. When I got to Bridie and Chloe, they were crying so much and all I could to was just break down in tears with them, hugging them both. This meant so much to me and I still cant decribe how I felt that night. NEVER SAY NEVER. I dont think I can thank Justin enough for his beautiful music and making these past two years of my life amazing. -@RebeccaRhiannon Video when I was the OLLG Continue reading here: My name is Rebecca, I’m 16 and I live in Nottinghamshire,…
