NewsTony Wilson's funeral takes place in ManchesterMourners gathered for the funeral of Tony Wilson in Manchester today (August 20). The service took place at St Mary's Roman Catholic Church, known as the Hidden Gem. Members of the public were asked to send flowers or make a donation to the Christie Hospital after his family requested that they be allowed to grieve privately. New Order's Peter Hook and Stephen Morris and Happy Mondays frontman Shaun Ryder were among the mourners at the private service. Talks are already under way for a public service to mark the life of Wilson, as well as a permanent memorial in the city, reports the BBC. Billy Corgan: "American girls are sluts Smashing Pumpkins closed the Main Stage at Carling Weekend: Reading tonight (August 26). Taking to the stage at 10pm, the Chicago band made their way through 90 minutes of material old and new. The full moon was amplified against a cloudless sky as they tore through favourites including 'Tonight, Tonight', '1979' and 'Today'. Midway through the set stage cameras panned the crowd, which included a scantily clad young woman, about whom Corgan commented "There's something about a girl who's willing to take her top off so quickly." "American girls are sluts too," he added. "See - isn't it great to be alternative - You can say all those things." Corgan then launched into a solo acoustic version of '1979'. "We're very humbled to be back on this stage," Corgan concluded at the end of the show "Yes, miracles can happen." |
