BILL Bailey has told how he was rejected by the BBC after sending in a potential entry for Eurovision. The comic, 56, slammed channel bosses for taking the competition "too seriously" after British contestant James Newman was awarded a humiliating "nil points".

Explaining he has already tried to offer help to win the European singing competition, Bill told Good Morning Britain today: "A few years ago I sent in an entry to Eurovision. "It was a kind of spoof eco anthem in the style of Dad's Army.

The BBC said it was 'too silly, we can't have that'." I thought 'well the taking it too seriously isn't going too well either is it?'.

Album Review: The Tipping Point by Tears for Fears
Everybody Loves a Happy Ending, true to its title, seemed to put a satisfying capstone on their career, and the subsequent years of extensive touring as self-described “late-blooming road warriors” seemed like something between an epilogue and a victory lap. But defying expectations has been the theme of their late career, and after years coasting on their well-deserved iconic status, it turns out Tears for Fears had another album in them after all.The Tipping Point (★★★☆☆) is not only their first studio album in 17 years, but for Roland Orzabal and Curt Smith, it represents a kind of hard-won artistic freedom.

Jimi Hendrix lyric sheet torn in half at 1967 gig finally put back together
Jimi Hendrix lyric sheet that was torn in half and given to two fans at a gig 55 years ago has finally been pieced back together.On February 20, 1967, Hendrix played a gig at the Bath Pavilion in the evening in place of Chuck Berry, who had to cancel his performance.As the Guardian report, before the show, two unnamed women, aged 15 and 16, waited at the stage door to get an autograph from Hendrix.
