The Rolling Stones No Filter 2021 tour technically ended Nov. 23 at the Hard Rock Live in Hollywood, Florida, but Mick Jagger, Keith Richards, Ron Wood, and the several members of their touring band quietly came together Dec. 6th at the tiny London club Ronnie Scott’s to honor Charlie Watts with a special tribute show.
Jagger, Richards, and Wood were joined by former Stones bassist Bill Wyman, drummer Steve Jordan, background singers Bernard Fowler and Lisa Fischer, saxophonist Tim Ries, bassist Dave Green, pianists Ben Waters, Axel Zwingenberger, and Jools Holland,...

Last year, As If celebrated 10 years since it came to an end on Channel 4. Digital Spy looks back on the cult series, speaking to several of the main cast about their memories of the show.
As If: 10 year retrospective of the cult Channel 4 teen drama - part 1
The sad fact with As If, is that it is almost impossible to track down today. The show has never been released on DVD, due to a copyright issue with the music. Without the music, it simply wouldn't be As If.
"Given the choice between no music so we can release the DVD, I'd choose the music," said Caroline Chikezie (Sasha). "They used to say the music was the seventh cast member, it was so important. It just took it to a whole new level. I guess it's worth not having a DVD release just to keep the music."

Back in 2001, the landscape of British teen dramas didn't continue much further than Byker Grove, Grange Hill and a relatively new soap called Hollyoaks.
Since then, we've had plenty of shows that focus on the lives of a group of youths, from Skins to Misfits to Made in Chelsea. But there was one show that arguably kickstarted the modern teen drama without getting the kudos it deserves, and that show was As If.
Last year marked the 10th anniversary since the series came to an end, and so Digital Spy decided to look back on the show and find out what happened to some of its main cast members.
As If launched on January 22, 2001 on Channel 4 in the midweek early evening slot, and was later repeated on Sunday afternoons on T4. From series two onwards, it stayed as a T4 staple, but maintained its young adult themes, running for...

Jemima Rooper has said that she would love an As If reunion.
The Atlantis actress starred as Nicki Sutton in the Channel 4 comedy-drama, which ran for four series from 2001 to 2004.
Speaking to Digital Spy, Rooper said that she would be open for a one-off special, especially as the show was made by some of her current colleagues.
"It's by the same guys that make Atlantis," she said. "They're so busy now, I don't know.
"We kept saying wouldn't it be brilliant to do a This Life-type 10-years-on thing. I'd love to see them."
As If also starred Paul Chequer, Emily Corrie, Orlando Wells, Caroline Chikezie and Ben Waters, and centred around a group of six young adults, with each episode focusing on a different character's point of view.
Rooper added: "I know one of the actresses [Corrie] is now in the navy, so I don't know whether she would come back!

The Rolling Stones have reunited with former bassist Bill Wyman on some new tracks, and for a good cause. "Boogie 4 Stu" is a charity compilation of sorts, organized by rock 'n' roll pianist Ben Waters, and he's brought in some of his good friends for the dance. Rolling Stones' Keith Richards, Ronnie Wood, Mick Jagger and Charlie Watts, plus Wyman and Pj Harvey have all contributed covers, standards and tracks to the set. So who's Stu? That would be the Stones' late pianist, co-founder and tour manager Ian Stewart, who passed away in 1985 from a heart attack. Proceeds from...
