The victim’s medical expenses and arrangements were costing $30,000. Meanwhile reports have emerged that Swift is heading to the studio once again to make another album. Perhaps she has enough ammunition from a recent failed romance to belt out in song.
Kylie Minogue has revealed that she has recorded a duet with Robbie Williams. It is the second time the singer has teamed up with Williams since ‘Kid’ was released in 2000. Robbie Williams is also recording an album and the duet with Kylie is expected to feature on it.

Martin Garrix picked up his fourth UK top 10 hit song as his release ‘In The Name Of Love’ took a seven point jump to land at No:10. The single is a soft progressive house track rather than his previous stompers. The song also features the US vocalist and song writer Bebe Rexha. ‘In The Name Of Love’ debuted on the UK singles chart six weeks ago at No: 52 before making a quiet and steady climb on the singles chart. Garrix is reported to have completed work on his new album and the current hit is widely expected to be the debut release.
