Kate Moss Ruins New Kills Songs, David Gilmour Gig
I realize that laptops are a staple of the rock star gig bag nowadays (save for Jack White’s), but aren’t they a bit too precarious to be sitting around next to musicians and their supermodel girlfriends? The Mirror reports that Jamie Hince recorded six new Kills songs on his laptop and amid a fight with his girlfriend, Kate Moss, she did to his laptop what Naomi Campbell does to cell phones.
“Kate grabbed his bag and hurled it into the pool,” a source says. “Unfortunately it contained his laptop, BlackBerry and personal diary.” Hince tried to resuscitate the hard drive, but the songs and his Blackberry were lost in the row. Only the diary was saved, which is good to hear because he’ll have a lot to write about! Here’s a suggestion for his first entry: If I record on a 400-pound Studer A80, it is much harder to throw in a pool than a MacBook.
Also, Moss performed an impromptu vocal with Pink Floyd’s David Gilmour on Friday at a benefit concert and these pictures of the performance definitely confirm one audience member’s comment that she “really got into it.”
Mosshart Debunks Jack White Fight Rumors
British tabloids have been having fun all week making up stories that force the stars in said fake story to speak out, creating a whole new article! Today, The Kills’ Alison Mosshart debunked a report by The Sun that she and Dead Weather drummer Jack White got into a physical brawl after a day of drinking in New York. Some gossip rags were even reporting that White punched Mosshart.
“I don’t usually bother responding to ridiculous fabricated tabloid rumours, but this one is particularly grotesque,” Mosshart told NME (whom rightfully put the original story in their “Gossip” section). “The stories circulating from a UK tabloid of a ‘fist fight’, or Jack punching me, or the two of us ‘being at each others throats’ are untrue.”
In other news, Bat Boy has yet to respond to rumors he was captured by the FBI.
Kills Guitarist Jamie Hince Punches Fan, Goes Missing
There’s been a bit of drama surrounding The Kills recently, but this week’s brief disappearance of guitarist and Kate Moss boyfriend Jamie Hince has brought it to a whole new level.
At Monday night’s show at Brooklyn’s Music Hall of Williamsburg, Hince got violent with a fan that was allegedly giving him the two-fingered salute. In fact, Selt-Titled Mag’s associate editor Aaron Richter actually helped boost the soon-to-be victim onto the stage, thinking that Hince was just being playful. Hince then threw the guy against a stack of amps and somehow knocked him out before throwing the unconscious fan back into the crowd. For more details, click here.
Only two days later, Hince mysteriously went missing after the band’s gig in Montreal. It wouldn’t have been a big deal, but the Daily Mail reports singer Alison Mosshart was so concerned about her bandmate that she posted a worried message on Facebook, asking for help finding Hince before their scheduled gig in Toronto that night. Hince did reportedly show up for the set.
