Pete Doherty to play the Royal Albert Hall
Pete Doherty is to play the biggest solo performance of his career so far at London's famed Royal Albert Hall this April.
The Babyshambles frontman will play the historic venue, home of the Proms, on 26 April. The venue has a capacity of around 5,000.
The 27-year-old is said to be concentrating on his music career after splitting from supermodel Kate Moss and attempting to stay out of trouble with the law.
He is currently working on his debut solo album and has played several small shows over the past few months.
He recently offered his support to troubled singer Amy Winehouse but was branded a "scumbag" by her father and warned to stay away.

Autamata - Colours Of Sound
Ireland has never been a fertile hunting ground for electronica lovers. Whereas over the water there have always been a myriad of bands and producers bubbling away, you'd struggle to think of any Irish act that's made any significant impression over the past decade.
'Colours Of Sound', the third album released by Autamata, also known as Ken McHugh, should do its bit to redress that balance. Four years since debut album 'My Sanctuary' and two years after 'Short Stories', 'Colours of Sound' finds Mr McHugh in an up-beat and positive mood.
The band's first two releases were subsequently raided for film soundtracks and TV ads and it wouldn't come as a big surprise if the same was done for this one. Painting soundscapes is what Autamata seem to have a knack for, and tracks like 'Inter-railing', 'Watching the World Go By' and 'A Drive through the Countryside' with their themes of travel could be the perfect accompaniment for long bus journeys.
When it's turned up a notch however, the band truly gets into their swing and get feet tapping. 'What You All About', 'Come Party at my House' and in particular 'Music's All We Need' all benefit from the increase in tempo.
Earlier incarnations of Autamata contained the notable vocals of Cathy Davey. Now a successful artist in her own right, Davey guests on 'Cloud-Seekers', a hectic two minute forty three seconds of electro-pop which despite the catchy verses is let down by the chorus.
Elsewhere on the album, opening track 'Effervescent' does its best to lull the prospective listener into a false sense of security, a wispy instrumental with a decent melody, you get the feeling it could have better served the album appearing at the end.
Strings, provided by the Cora Venus Lunny Violin Orchestra, and McHugh's own talents as a multi-instrumentalist combine well, particularly on the last two songs of the album.
Irrepressively up-beat in nature, 'Colours Of Sound' is a solid album, made all the more commendable for the lonely task of flying the flag of Irish electro-pop.

Nine Inch Nails confirms lineup for summer outing
Trent Reznor has confirmed the Nine Inch Nails touring lineup that he will take on the road this summer to support the recently released four-CD "Ghosts I-IV."
Returning guitarist Robin Finck and new bass player Rich Fownes will join Reznor and recent NIN mainstays Alessandro Cortini (keyboards) and Josh Freese (drums), for the coming trek, which kicks off July 25 at British Columbia's Pemberton Festival.
Finck, who has spent the past several years touring and recording with Guns N' Roses, has toured with NIN in the past, with his most recent stint coming in support of the band's 1999 release "The Fragile." Newcomer Fownes has performed recently with British electronic duo UNKLE and has spent time in With Scissors and The Eighties Matchbox B-Line Disaster.
Reznor and his crew are currently set for 24 dates across the summer months, with more shows on the way, according to the group's publicist. The full schedule is below.
The group's latest studio album, the four-disc all-instrumental "Ghosts I-IV," was released online in a variety of formats, including the option for listeners to try out the set's first disc for free. The album in its entirety can be purchased for $5, and NIN is also offering "Ghosts" in deluxe packages ranging from $10 to the $300 "ultra-deluxe limited edition," which sold out almost immediately, according to the band.
Reznor composed and recorded the set over a 10-week period last fall, along with help from producers Atticus Ross and Alan Moulder (Depeche Mode), with whom he has worked in the past. Cortini, veteran musician Adrian Belew, and Dresden Dolls drummer Brian Viglione also contributed, according to the album's website.
Earlier this month, NIN's management announced that the project had racked up $1.6 million in direct sales in under two weeks.

James Garner undergoes surgery after stroke
LOS ANGELES (Reuters) - Actor James Garner, best known for starring in the classic television series "Maverick" and "The Rockford Files," underwent surgery this week after suffering a minor stroke, his spokeswoman said on Tuesday.
Garner, 80, who built a six-decade career playing ruggedly charming, good-natured anti-heroes, suffered a stroke at home last Friday and was admitted to a Los Angeles-area hospital, publicist Jennifer Allen said.
The actor underwent surgery on Sunday, and his prognosis following the operation was described as "very positive," Allen said, adding that Garner's vital signs were good and that he was conscious and "responsive."
Allen said Garner was expected to be discharged from the hospital soon, but she had no further details about the circumstances of Garner's stroke or his condition.
Garner gained stardom in the late 1950s as the wisecracking gambler and ladies' man on the TV western "Maverick." He left the ABC show in 1960 in a contract dispute with producers but brought his "Maverick"-like persona to a series of films, including "Thrill of It All," "Move Over, Darling," "The Great Escape" and "Support Your Local Sheriff!"
Garner scored another TV hit in the 1970s, starring as canny private detective Jim Rockford, a wrongly accused ex-convict starting life over in a beachfront trailer home, on NBC's "The Rockford Files."
The role earned Garner an Emmy Award in 1977, his only victory in a dozen TV acting nominations. He also received an Oscar nomination for his work opposite Sally Field in the 1985 feature comedy "Murphy's Romance."
He received the Screen Actors Guild's highest honor, a life achievement award, in 2004. In his most recent film role, Garner played a wealthy grandfather in the 2006 film adaptation of the best-selling book "The Ultimate Gift.

Brad Grey - Movie Boss Praises Iron Man Downey Jr
Paramount Pictures boss BRAD GREY has praised ROBERT DOWNEY JR. for overcoming his personal problems and resurrecting his film career - insisting he is a real life IRON MAN.
The actor fought a well-publicised battle with drink and drugs throughout his adult life and the downward spiral culminated in a year-long spell in prison in 1999 for missing mandatory court-imposed drug tests.
But the star has since sorted his life out, kicking drugs and returning to mainstream cinema.
And his biggest blockbuster to date, this year's (08) Iron Man, has triumphed at the box office across the globe.
Studio head Grey insists Downey Jr.'s struggle proves he really is a superhero.
He tells New York gossip column PageSix, "As much as I admire (Downey Jr.) for the job he did in the film as an actor, the true Iron Man is (Downey Jr.) in his real life. He persevered and righted his life after some rough and trying years."
