franklyHANK: Streisand & Sia
Two huge concerts are coming to Chicago from our friends at Live Nation.
BARBRA STREISAND: THE MUSIC... THE MEM'RIES... THE MAGIC!
Barbra is coming to the United Center, Sunday, August 9! She's only doing 9 cities and right now just 10 shows. The Funny Girl has horrible stage fright so she only tours every few years and in limited shows. Fans who buy a ticket online will get a copy of her new album, "ENCORE: Movie Partners Sing Broadway." If you have an American Express card, pre-sale starts Wed, May 18 at 10 a.m. Sale to the general public is Friday, May 25, 10 a.m.
SIA: NOSTALGIC FOR THE PRESENT
Sia, that Australian pop singer who wears giant bows and wigs to hide her face, is going on her first arena tour and she lands in Chicago, Sunday, October 16. Her "Nostalgic for the Present Tour" will be her first tour in five years. Sia's latest album, "This is Acting," is getting great reviews (I love it!) and her recent performance at the Coachella Music Festival was hailed as the event's best by Time magazine and one of the greatest moments in Coachella's 17-year history by Yahoo! Music. If you have a Citibank card, pre-sale begins today, May 17 at Noon. Sale to the general public is Friday, May 20 at 10am. Check out her latest, "Cheap Thrills," below.
PRINCE: HEIRS, HEIRS, EVERYWHERE
The estate of Prince is getting stranger by the minute. More supposed heirs are coming out of the woodwork. One man in prison claims he is Prince's son from a one-night stand. Another woman and a teen girl have come forward, both represented by a Chicago law firm, and they claim they are Prince's niece and grand-niece, descendants of Prince's late half-brother, Duane Nelson. If true, they could stand to inherit Nelson's portion of the estate. Minnesota recognizes full-siblings and half-siblings the same way. Now, if that fella in prison turns out to be Prince's son, then watch out because all heck will break loose. Since Prince left no will (that anyone has found yet), the supposed son could collect it all if he indeed turns out to be the real son of Prince. Stay tuned! It's getting' real, ya'll!
