1960s pop singer Bobby Vee dies at 73

MINNEAPOLIS

Pop idol Bobby Vee, the boyish, grinning 1960s singer whose career was born when he took a Midwestern stage as a teenager to fill in after the 1959 plane crash that killed rock ’n’ roll stars Buddy Holly, Ritchie Valens and J.P. “The Big Bopper” Richardson, has died. He was 73.

Vee, whose hits included the chart-topping “Take Good Care of My Baby” and who helped a young Bob Dylan get his start, died Monday of advanced Alzheimer’s disease, said his son, Jeff Velline. Vee was diagnosed with Alzheimer’s disease in 2011, and performed his last show that year.

Screaming fans prompt Bieber to leave stage

MANCHESTER, ENGLAND

It seems even Justin Bieber finds his screaming fans irritating.

The pop star walked off the stage during his show in Manchester, England, on Sunday after some fans ignored his request to stop screaming as he was trying to talk to the crowd between songs.

Bieber told the crowd that he wanted to be able to say something, and the screaming had to stop. When the screaming continued, a frustrated Bieber dropped the microphone as he left the stage.

The singer returned several moments later and told the crowd he’d stop talking and just do his musical set, because, he said, “Manchester just can’t handle it.”
