k.d. lang Replaces Susan Boyle on Logies Line-Up

The 18th Annual Elton John AIDS Foundation Academy Award Party!


When Susan Boyle pulled out of the Logies last week, I wondered whether the organisers would be able to match her star power. It seems they have, with the announcement that k.d. lang will be stepping in. The Canadian crooner’s appearance follows the release of her recent number one selling greatest hits CD, Recollection.

“I’m honoured to be included in the TV Week Logie Awards because Australia feels like my second home,” k.d. said in a statement. “I’m also looking very forward to being in Melbourne again.”

k.d. joins John Mayer, Gabriella Cilmi, and Rogue Traders on the rather healthy looking Logies line-up. Susan who? Personally I’d much rather watch k.d. and Mr Mayer!

You can catch the Logie Awards on the Nine Network on May 2.

Susan Boyle Pulls Out of Aussie Promo Tour

Britain’s Got Talent star Susan Boyle has postponed her planned promotional visit to Australia next month. The decision was apparently made to allow Susan to rest up before she starts recording her second album.

It’s bad news for Sony Music, who’d booked SuBo a spot at this year’s Logies and released a promotional tour edition of I Dreamed a Dream this week.

Susan’s manager Andy Stephens says she will reschedule her Australian visit for later this year.

The souvenir edition sees a DVD packaged with the eight-times platinum album. The disc, the first of its kind available to Susan’s loyal fans, will feature her original Britain’s Got Talent audition, her headline grabbing interview with Molly Meldrum, and a short documentary charting her rise to fame. We’ll see it on record store shelves on April 16.

Susan’s bound to be busy during her time in Oz, with appearances already locked in for the Logie Awards on May 2 and Hey Hey It’s Saturday on May 5.

“I am so excited about going to Australia. This time last year I never dreamed I would leave Blackburn, now I am travelling to the other side of the world. Now that can’t be bad!”the clearly chuffed singer said in a statement. “That I have been invited to perform on Australia’s biggest awards show is really something. I can’t wait to get there, to meet the people, to see the sights and to sing.”

And I’m sure all the nannas around the country will love having her here!
