Reports say Talbot, 71, is expected to recover from the setback, but in the meantime, another longterm Young collaborator, Rick Rosas will fill in on a tour that comes to the Marquee in Cork next Thursday. The New York Post reports the estate of the late Lou Reed has swelled by $20.4m since his death, and is now worth $30m. Most of it will go to his wife Laurie Anderson, with his sister also receiving a large sum, some of which will be used for the care of their mother. The late singer obviously didn’t bear too many grudges after previously describing how his parents had subjected him to electroshock treatment as a teenager to try and cure his gay inclinations. The Prodigy rocked the Marquee in Cork on Wednesday, and main man Liam Howlett has been telling NME how the group have assembled plenty of new material they’ll release on a new album later in the year. Finally, the exhibition from the archive ofmaterial from legendary Cork nightclub Sir Henrys will be available to see at the Boole Library, UCC, from Wednesday.
Brian Wilson of the Beach Boys takes to the stage of the Marquee tonight with fellow surfband veteran Al Jardine. That’s followed by Christy Moore tomorrow, and sold out shows from Paolo Nutini on Tuesday and Wednesday. After Neil Young’s Thursday concert there are four more gigs before this year’s bumper package concludes with Lana del Rey on July 15.
