Bruce Springsteen, Paul Simon, Jennifer Hudson Announced For Central Park Concert
Plans for New York City's "mega-concert," which will feature performances by many musical giants in Central Park to commemorate the city's post-coronavirus rebirth, have begun to take shape. Mayor Bill de Blasio said Thursday that Bruce Springsteen, Paul Simon, and Jennifer Hudson will play at the event, which was announced in early June as part of New York City's Homecoming Week. When the performance was first announced, Clive Davis, who is booking it, claimed it will feature eight performers performing over three hours for a physical audience of 60,000 and a global livestream.
Company set for Britney Spears’ co-conservatorship backs out after learning of her objection
The wealth management firm that was to become the co-conservator of Britney Spears' estate with her father James has requested to withdraw from it. Bessemer Trust, which manages more than $100 billion in assets across its portfolio, requested to resign from the agreement in a new court document filed on July 1. Bessemer Trust alleges in its court statement that it was told Britney's conservatorship was voluntary and that she had agreed to the business functioning as co-conservator.

He did not, however, say whether event reopening instructions would be provided in the near future.

DistroKid artists simply select Dolby Atmos delivery from their dashboard and pay a one-time cost.
