Cheryl's Art And Music Guide

Noel  and  Liam Gallagher  have ended their 15-year feud over the phone. So they are embarking on a reunion tour. The  Guardian  believes this could bring in even more money than they grossed in the nineties.  The brothers plan to tour the UK and Ireland in the summer 2025. According to  Oasisinet , plans are underway for them to visit continents outside of Europe next year as well. Meanwhile, the aforementioned concert tickets go on sale tomorrow morning. And the 30th anniversary edition of their debut album,  Definitely Maybe , is out today.  This includes new mixes by Noel and musician/producer  Callum   Marin ho . 

From September 3-October 5, the  Liss Gallery  in Toronto, Canada, will be showing  Bob Gruen 's photography.  Subjects include  John Lennon, Queen , the  Rolling Stones, Kiss , the  Clash , and  Bob Marley . And on the 14th of September, Gruen himself will be in attendance. At this reception, running from 7-9 p.m., collectors can acquire one of the works, along with a personal dedication written by Bob. An RSVP is necessary for this event. To reserve, email  info@lissgallery.com .  In addition, the city will be hosting the 25th edition of  Art Toronto  from October 24-27. It will be held at the  Metro Toronto Convention Centre . There will be contributions from over 90 galleries, from across Canada as well as New York, London, Amsterdam, Seoul, Buenos Aires, and more.

In December 2021,  Primary Wave  purchased the assets of  James Brown 's estate. Now they hope to turn the late performer's abode into a tourist destination. The continuing restoration process will be documented through a development deal with  Page Turner , the real estate agent and host of  HGTV 's  Fix My Flip .  Visitors will probably be surprised to see cotton branches around the house. Since James grew up picking cotton, he wanted to remind himself of where he came from.  The home, which is technically in South Carolina but close to Augusta, Georgia, has an assortment of stage costumes as well as a salon. The latter contains dozens of identical products, as James didn't want to run out, and thought they might not be available in the future. See the entire  Billboard story here .

On the 12th of September,  Superstar Guitars  will be out.  According to the publisher,  Headline ,  Eleanor Jane  travelled the world to take the photos. Among them are the guitars played by  Kurt Cobain  in the  Smells Like Teen Spirit  video and  Eric Clapton  for his  MTV Unplugged  appearance. There are also instruments used by the likes of  Jimi Hendrix, Jack   White, Phoebe Bridgers , and  Steve Vai . And the book is full of the stories behind the instruments.  The foreword is by  Manic Street Preachers'   James Dean Bradfield , and  Eleanor Jane , the woman behind the book, has previously contributed to music magazines. 

Commuters in Sydney, Australia, haven't been rushing through train stations lately. That's because there is now site-specific artwork to look at. According to  ABC Australia , the  Sydney Metro line art  has everything from revolving soundscapes to floor mosaics. All works use durable, easy-to-clean materials. Both experienced and emerging artists are represented.  Those who prefer a more conventional setting can visit the city's  National Maritime Museum . Its permanent  collection consists of over 160,000 artifacts, so of course not everything is on view at the same time. Items include travel posters, a surfboard and canoe, ship portraits, ship models, bark paintings, a centuries-old picture of a mermaid, and sheet music.  Visit  Sea Museum/collections  for a sampling. 

Did you know that  Lisa Marie Presley  was working on her memoirs when she died? She asked her daugher,  Riley Keough , for assistance. Now the actress and producer has finished the book, which is to be published on the eighth of October. She will go on the road to promote  From Here   to The Great Unknown , which discusses subjects such as motherhood and addiction.  Elvis Presley , of course, is featured as well. The  Lisa Marie tour  includes two stops in Tennessee, and one in London, England.  October also sees the publication  Alex Van Halen 's  Brothers . The musician considers it to be a love letter to his late brother,  Eddie . There are stories about their childhood and experiences in the recording studio, along with previously unseen photos.  Closer to the October 22nd publication date, the  Van Halen store  will start taking orders, which will include ''an exclusive bonus gift.''

Journalist/musician  Marc Aumont  and mixologist/restaurateur  Fabien   Labbe  have teamed up for  Metal Cocktails .  The book features 42 recipes (many accompanied by suggestions and facts) inspired by performers, songs, props, and more.  One is the  Lemmy Old Fashioned . It is based on the late  Lemmy Kilmister 's favorite drink,  Jack and Coke  ('Jack' of course being  Jack Daniel 's whiskey).  Absinthe Superstar  is likewise based on a drink associated with a singer:  Marilyn Manson  is known for his love of absinthe. Another is a frothy pink tribute to  Alice Cooper  and his snakes.  Callous   Cooper 's tropical flavors like banana juice and hibiscus (flower and syrup) may bring to mind the type of habitats snakes are from. More obvious examples are  Gins N' Roses  for  Guns N' Roses  and  Mint Judas  for  Judas Priest .  Highway to Ginger...

 In February  2025,   Jackson Pollock: The Early Years (1912-1956)  will be published.  The book has a few authors, one being  Helen Harrison , who was director of the  Jackson-Krasner House and Study   Center  in East Hampton, New York, for over three decades.  According to bookseller  Rizzoli , readers will gain insight into Pollock's psyche and have an opportunity to explore his influences, such as  Pablo Picasso,  Mexican muralists and Native American artists.  This volume is to accompany an exhibition, to run from the 15th of October until January 19, 2025, at a museum in Paris, France. The  Musee Picasso Paris  show is to be called  Jackson Pollock: The Early Years (1934-1947) .

  A new  Les Paul  exhibit has opened at the  Rock and Roll Hall of   Fame  in Cleveland, Ohio. Les Paul Thru The Lens  can be seen through the 15th of September at the museum's  Roots  gallery. There are 24 photos chronicling the Wisconsin native's life, starting with his childhood.  Additionally, a trio of Paul portraits by expressionist painter  Leroy   Neiman  is on public display for the first time. The inventor and musician came up with a prototype for a solid-body electric guitar which served as inspiration for the iconic  Gibson Les   Paul  guitar. Les is also credited with recording innovations such as tape delay, phasing, and overdubbing.  He was inducted into the  Rock Hall  in 1988 by  Jeff Beck , who said, ''I've copied more licks from  Les Paul  than I'd like to admit.''

This year's  Frieze London  contemporary art fair is to be held from the 9th through the 13th of October. Also on the agenda is Blue: Art for the Ocean  at  Christie's , which will raise funds for  Blue Marine , a charity dedicated to protecting the ocean. Marina Abramovic  is one of the participants. She is donating a photograph (the first of an edition of three, plus two artist's proofs), capturing a performance in Fire Island, New York, stressing the need for preserve our waterways. As for the fair itself, this will be held at The Regent's Park.  Eva Langret ,  Frieze London  director, said this year's edition has been ''reimagined, with solo presentations and emerging artists front and center,'' with a new layout offering ''more spots for conversation and exchange.'' Over 160 galleries from 43 countries will be represented. Among them are  Gagosian, White Cube, Pace, Emalin, Gallery Huyandai,  and  Esther Schipper .

Aerosmith  is ending their farewell tour early.  The group made the announcement on Friday. They explained that frontman  Steven Tyler  had been trying to recover from a vocal injury. But he is still unable to sing like he used to.  The musicians thanked ''everyone who was pumped to get on the road with us one last time,'' including their ''expert crew'' and fans. ''It has been the honor of our lives to have our music become part of yours,'' the band said in a statement. ''In every club, on every massive tour and at moments grand and private, you have given us a place in the soundtrack of your lives.'' Ticketmaster  customers will receive automatic refunds. Those who made purchases through third-party sites should contact the respective companies for more information.
