Wayne Rooney gets loose with Stereophonics



Footballer Wayne Rooney and the Stereophonics upset hotel guests in Manchester (UK) on Wednesday night after they held an impromptu after show party in their room.

Stereophonics frontman Kelly Jones revealed that Rooney, striker for Manchester United FC, joined the group for a celebration after their show at the Manchester Evening News Arena.

Although the footballer (who's a huge fan of the group) missed the concert because he was playing for Manchester United, Jones said he was eager to make a sing-a-long on the tour bus.

“His brother and mates came to both shows, then he (Rooney) came by after the game with his missus to celebrate,” Jones told the Sun newspaper.

“It was a top night. After the dressing room drink-up we all got in the tour bus and had a proper sing-song.”

But Jones said a few guests complained when they took their party back to the hotel.

“We had the iPod on, champagne, singing, laughing — then some complaints. Where did it all go wrong?”

Earlier in the year, Wayne Rooney invited the Welsh band to perform at his wedding in Italy. He also has the name of the band's 2001 album 'Just Enough Education To Perform' inked on his forearm. No. 1 fan you think?

Stereophonics to tour Australia



With their sixth album 'Pull The Pin' now located in every music store, Welsh rock mainstays Stereophonics are again visiting Australia.

The band has been making music since 1996, however, they took time out in 2006, after vocalist Kelly Jones admitted exhaustion with the “album-tour-album-tour” cycle. According to Jones, 'Pull The Pin' has made them refresehd. “I think we’ve achieved the best parts of the band over the last ten years on one record,” he writes. “The energy captured reminds me of when we started. It is the sound of a band happy to be back together.”

Stereophonics are currently in the midst of an exhaustive world tour, including a string of arena dates in England culminating with the UK V Festival. Ten years after their first visit to our shores, it’s time to welcome the boys back in April/May.

Tickets go on sale Monday 17 March.

Wednesday 30 April – Metropolis, Fremantle
