(Nov. 13) From allstar: You have to hand it to them for their promptness. Just one day after Bush's U.K. tour was postponed for various scheduling conflicts (allstar, Nov. 11), the band has already rescheduled the dates. The band's U.K. tour will now kick off on Jan. 17 in Wolverhampton and run through March 1 in London, where the band has now added a second date at the Hammersmith Palais after selling out the Nov. 30 date there (which will now be Feb. 29). The routing for the rescheduled dates is slightly different, although the cities and venues remain the same. In a statement released by Reach Media on Friday (Nov. 12), band manager Dave Dorrell offered the following apology: "The band are very disappointed not to be playing the U.K. this year but it's a situation that's proved impossible to work around. Bush will be back in January and can promise their fans a memorable home tour." In related news, an enhanced maxi-CD version of their latest single, "The Chemicals Between Us," will be released in the U.K. on Nov. 22 which includes the supercollider remix of the track as well as the video. "Homebody," a new track leftover from the Science sessions, will also be included. Unfortunately for U.S. fans, the single will not be commercially released Stateside.

(Nov. 3) From allstar: Trauma Pulls Plug On Bush's Doors Cover: Bush's contribution to next year's Doors tribute CD has come unhinged. Although the band recorded "Break On Through" for inclusion on the tentatively titled The Doors: A Tribute (allstar, Oct. 26), the idea was nixed by Trauma Records, the band's label. "It's a shame," says Rossdale. "They felt it was coming out at the same time as our record (The Science of Things, released Nov. 2) and would conflict, so they just got weird about it." Rossdale claims the kibosh was not leftover hostility from a $40 million breach-of-contract lawsuit Trauma filed against Bush earlier this year, when the band allegedly began shopping Science around for a more lucrative deal. A settlement was later reached (allstar, June 14). "It's not related, but it was a further problem," says Rossdale. A spokesperson for Trauma read a prepared response: "Since the campaign for the Doors tribute album is right after the holiday, it conflicts with the expansive promotion campaign we have in place to follow up Bush's No. 1 single, 'The Chemicals Between Us.' Out of duty to Bush, we cannot risk any diffusion of focus from what we believe will be a landmark album for them, and we regrettably had to pass on the Doors project." The Doors CD is due on Elektra Records in early 2000 and is expected to feature Marilyn Manson ("Five to One"), UB40 ("Light My Fire"), William S. Burroughs ("Cancer City"), Exene Cervenka ("House of the New Dead"), the Cult featuring Ray Manzarek ("Wild Child"), Smash Mouth and Robbie Krieger ("Peace Frog"), Creed and all the surviving Doors ("Riders on the Storm"), Chrissie Hynde and Merry Clayton ("Touch Me"), John Lee Hooker ("Roadhouse Blues"), Bo Diddley ("Love Her Madly") and Days of the New ("The End"). Rossdale says Bush's "Break On Through" will "probably show up somewhere, but not where it should have been." The singer says Jim Morrison "was a true visionary, and I loved him for that. He wrote some beautiful songs."
