Pink has cancelled shows due to illness

Speaking of tours, Ed Sheeran has expanded his mathematics concerts and has announced a new leg in Asia. The Shape of You singer is putting on nine gigs across Asia from January onwards, kicking off with two stints in Japan before heading to Taiwan and Southeast Asia in February. Ed's Mathematics tour continues to be a sell-out success despite him announcing a new era moving away from the mathematics theme, thanks to his new album Autumn Variations which is out now.

Megan Thee Stallion has finally settled a three-year-long legal battle with her former label. The Savage hitmaker and 1501 Certified Entertainment has been caught up in a legal exchange since 2018 after Megan claimed that she was tricked into signing an unfair contract a year before her career took off. Megan also alleged that the deal was below industry standards and the rapper was seeking over 1 million dollars in damages. Now the dispute has ended amicably and the label said in a statement that they wish Megan, who is now signed to Jay Z's Roc Nation, the very best in her career.
