U2
U2's concert last summer at Boston's Fleet Center was taped and will air next week on VH1. "U2: Elevation Live 2001" captures the band live on stage as Bono, The Edge, Adam and Larry perform a mix of their hits as well as songs from their latest album, "All That You Can't Leave Behind."
The 90-minute special -- airing Nov. 23 (at 9 p.m. ET/PT) -- will be immediately preceded by "U2: Legends" (at 7:30 p.m.) and a special half-hour U2 concert pre-show (at 8:30 p.m. ET/PT).
"U2 Elevation Tour 2001" is the band's first tour since the highly successful "PopMart" (the top-grossing tour of 1997), and their first arena tour since 1992. It kicked off March 24 in Miami/Ft. Lauderdale and has continued with more than 101 sold-out dates in North America and Europe. The tour began its second North American leg in Notre Dame, Ind., on Oct. 10, and winds up in Miami Dec. 2.
U2 is tied with Dave Matthews Band for the most nominations at the upcoming My VH1 Music Awards '01, airing live Dec.2 (at 9 p.m. ET/PT) on VH1.

B.B. KING
B.B. King is out with his first Christmas album.
"A Christmas Celebration of Hope" (on the MCA/Universal Records label) features 13 songs that were recorded in New Orleans and produced by B.B. King with his touring band on the sessions. It includes Christmas classics in both popular and blues music genres as well as two B.B. King originals -- "Christmas Celebration" (first released in 1960 on Kent Records) and the newly written instrumental "Christmas Love."
MCA Records is donating all profits from the sale of "A Christmas Celebration of Hope" to City of Hope to fund its research and patient care programs.
"It has been my long time dream to produce an album of Christmas music," said King. "Now the time has come for me to release with great pride and joy, 'A Christmas of Hope.' In addition, it is with pleasure that I dedicate this album to the City of Hope in support of their hard work to bring hope and healing to all people who suffer from life-threatening diseases everywhere."
King makes a guest appearance on the new Tony Bennett CD "Playing With My Friends: Bennett Sings the Blues" (RPM Records/Columbia), singing "Let the Good Times Roll" in duet with Bennett.


DESTINY'S CHILD
Destiny's Child says reports of their imminent demise have been greatly exaggerated.
In a statement released Thursday by their recording label, Columbia Records, the trio declares: "We are very much a group, very much together, and plan to be for many years. ... We just want to take a little time to work on some things that reflect our individual personalities and we're going to help and support each other with everything we do."
The group says its plans include a world tour next spring, work on a new album after that, and TV appearances in both the United States and in Europe.
In the meantime, fans can look forward to upcoming projects from each of the group's members. Beyonce Knowles appears as Foxy Cleopatra in "Austin Powers 3: Goldmember," due in theaters on July 26. Michelle Williams has been recording an album of inspirational music, while Kelly Rowland is working up material for an album of her own.
Destiny's Child has been nominated in two categories for this year's American Music Awards: Favorite Album, Pop/Rock (for "Survivor") and Favorite Band, Duo or Group, Soul/RB. The 29th Annual American Music Awards ceremony will air Jan. 9 on ABC-TV. Last month, the trio entered the "Guinness Book Of World Records" for having more No.1 records on the U.S. charts than any girl group in music history.

Aerosmith's "Just Push Play" fall tour has rolled into Cleveland and area Dodge dealers are pulling out all the stops to give fans a chance to see the band in concert. They're sponsoring various events prior to Sunday's Cleveland Browns football game, during which fans can win tickets to next Monday night's show.
Dodge and Aerosmith announced this past summer a partnership in which the automaker is using the band's music in its Ram truck commercials.
