ordered to take complete rest and deal with her health issues.
Amy says - “I can’t give it my all onstage without my Blake. I’m
so sorry but I don’t want to do the shows half-heartedly; I love
singing. My husband is everything to me and without him it’s just
not the same.”

WEDNESDAY,
28TH November
U2 GUITAR hero The Edge paid tribute to the Scots punk rockers
who launched his superstar career.
He hailed The Skids - led by singer Richard Jobson and late guitarist
Stuart Adamson - as the group were awarded a top music award.
The Fife band were honoured with a lifetime achievement award at
a star-studded ceremony staged by music therapy charity Nordoff-Robbins
(Scotland).
The Edge - whose band covered Skids classic The Saints Are Coming
in aid of the New Orleans victims of Hurricane Katrina - said: "The
first Skids song I ever heard was Into The Valley - I immediately
wanted to write something as good.
"Stuart Adamson's guitar playing left me feeling wholly inadequate.
He had a big influence on me."
The Edge hailed The Skids as they received their Tartan Clef award
- to mark their 30th anniversary - at the annual event in Glasgow
last night.
The rock charity raises money to fund work done by music therapists
across Scotland and their awards party was attended by Scotland's
biggest stars.
U2 teamed up with Green Day to record The Saints Are Coming at
London's famous Abbey Road studios.
Jobson donated his £500,000 royalties from the 1978 song
to U2's Music Rising appeal. The Edge said: "When I first heard
The Skids I was totally blown away. Their songwriting was amazing.
"We tried as a band on numerous occasions to do something
as good as Into The Valley.
"When I got the first Skids album - Scared To Dance - the
song I really fell in love with was The Saints Are Coming.
"When I found out what it was written about it just really
moved me.
"When I got the call about doing something for New Orleans,
I was thinking, 'What can we do?'.
"The Saints Are Coming presented itself as the song for that
moment.
"The Saints Are Coming took on a lot of significance for New
Orleans. We changed a few lyrics - with Richard's blessing - and
it's become a big anthem there."
The Edge hopes The Skids' Tartan Clef award will introduce the
Fife band's sound to a new generation of fans. He said:
"The Skids were one of the great bands.
I'd have loved to have seen them last a few more years.
"It's an incredible honour to be able to say congratulations
to The Skids for everything - their amazing music and this Nordoff-Robbins
award."

PUNK LEGENDS YOUTUBE SALUTE
Holy To The High!
Skids Star In Video Tribute To Fallen Troops Exclusive
A MOVING new version of punk classic Into The Valley has become
a hit on the internet. Singer-turned-filmmaker Richard Jobson used
his old song on a video paying tribute to the 169 British soldiers
killed in Iraq. But unlike on the high-energy track he recorded
with The Skids in 1979, he speaks the words backed by an acoustic
guitar and two schoolgirl fans.
The track has become a must-see on video site YouTube after Richard
posted it to mark Remembrance Sunday. As the song plays, it shows
the faces of British army victims of the Iraq war. Richard wrote
Into The Valley - with the late Skids and Big Country guitarist
Stuart Adamson - in their native Dunfermline 30 years ago. It was
inspired by their unemployed mates who joined the army to escape
life on the dole.
Now Richard wants the anti-war message to reach a new generation.
The YouTube track features Lisa McGregor and Maria Marshall, pupils
from TrinityHigh School, Cambuslang, near Glasgow.
Maria, 17, said: "We weren't even born when Into The Valley
was a hit but when you say The Skids that's the song people immediately
think of.
"Richard told us he wrote it about mates from Fife who joined
the army and got sent to Northern Ireland.
"When they came home they were completely different people.
"At first we messed about with the track on computer, adding
different effects. But we realised it sounded more powerful to strip
it down."
Lisa, 17, added: "It was a great experience to take such a
famous song and completely turn it around.
"We feel our version really captures the sentiment behind
the lyrics - the sadness of young guys going off to war.
"I've got a cousin serving in Iraq so this subject is very
close to home."
Richard will perform Into The Valley with Maria and Lisa at a rock
awards show later this month to mark the 30th anniversary of The
Skids. He said: "Into The Valley is such a masculine song I
was amazed to hear it had been reinterpreted by two schoolgirls.
I wondered if the lyrics would have any meaning for them."
"People have misunderstood the lyrics and taken the p*** out
of them for 30 years.
"I tried to sing the track accompanied Instead, I just spoke
the words and when I later heard how Lisa and Maria had reinvented
the song it was a real 'wow' moment.
"The idea a full-on, punk rock energy rush could be transformed
into something quite tender and poignant I thought would have been
completely impossible. But they pulled it off. The new version of
Into The Valley was recorded by music producer Brian Docherty, the
organiser of Generation X, a community schools project funded by
South Lanarkshire Council.
Pupils in the area collaborated with top acts Belle And Sebastian,
Shirley Manson of Garbage, Teenage Fanclub, The Bluebells and Justin
Currie of Del Amitri on new versions of their hits.
Brian said: "The artists visited each school and did music
workshops with the kids - explaining to them what inspired the tracks
and how they were written.
"It was great to just hand the songs to the kids to see how
they'd interpret them."
Richard's YouTube film has won approval from British servicemen
serving in Iraq. He said: "At the time I made the film, 169
young Britishservicemen had been killed in Iraq. I managed to find
a photograph of every one of them. I thought it was so sad these
young people had lost their lives.
"I got an email from an airman who watched it and saw pictures
of his own mates.
"He felt the girls' version of Into The Valley was incredibly
powerful and sent a very poignant message.
"He said it gave them a little bit of dignity. It was good
to hear encouragement from somebody who'd actually been out there."
Now, there are plans to release Into The Valley on an all-star
CD featuring the other artists and schools involved in the Generation
X project.
These include Stonelaw High, Rutherglen; Hamilton Grammar; Calderglen
High, East Kilbride; and Larkhall Academy.
The full list of tracks are:
Richard Jobson: Into The Valley.
Emma Pollock: Accused Of Stealing.
Belle And Sebastian: Le Parte de la Bourgeoise.
Shirley Manson: When I Grow Up.
Malcolm Middleton: We're All Gonna Die Alone.
King Creosote: Not One Bit Ashamed.
The Bluebells: I'm Falling.
Justin Currie: Nothing Ever Happens.
James Kirk: Felicity.
Teenage Fanclub: Mellowed Out.

FRIDAY, 26th October
After 19 years in the service, time has come to announce that I
will be retiring from Turbonegro, playing my last concert with the
band Saturday Oct. 27 at Folken in Stavanger.
The decision was made this Summer, realizing I hadn't had time
off at all from work or touring forhree years. I will continue to
be involved with the band on the management side of things, as well
as running Turbonegro's record label Scandinavian Leather Recordings.
This will also give me time to put more effort into my day job at
Universal, where I now have been given the opportunity to set up
my own label.
Leaving on a high note in the band's career, on the back of a very
successful US-tour and even having a full on biography out in Norway,
I would like to thank everybody we worked with through the years
and made all of this possible. Special thanks to my band mates of
course, for sharing the music and the best years of my life.
And last but not least, a big hug to Turbojugends everywhere, you're
the best fans in the world!
