Music News Update

Catchy title, I know.
But welcome to The Music Hold-All's first news update.
I am aiming to let the world see all the latest news on artists I care about.

Child 'killed' in M.I.A's video, defends the singer.


M.I.A's new video to accompany the song 'Born Free' has been hitting headlines all over the world, due to its violence. The video shows red headed people being collected up in some sort of military operation. Hamrick, who was shot in the head during the video, states that the message of the video is to 'show violence to end violence'. It is certain that this video was created with a message to get people to think of genocide, and actually acknowledge what's happening in the world. What do you think about the video.

Johnny Depp to play Ozzy Osbourne in movie
Since Sharon Osbourne confirmed that were talks of turning her husband Ozzy's life into a movie, there has been speculation over who will play the Brummy rocker. Well bets are being made for Johnny Depp, to play the former Black Sabbath frontman. I have a feeling that the only reason Depp's name has been thrown forward as it is well known he can play a 'wasted person', after he played Jack Sparrow in Pirate's of the Caribbean. But I am unsure of whether Depp would be convincing enough as the God of Darkness. I guess time will show what will happen with this.
