Gogol think global: Madge collaboration at Live Earth

Gogol Bordello - Band shot

Popbint Madonna is set to embrace gypsy-punk chic with a performance alongside Gogol Bordello at Live Earth on Saturday.

The bizarre collaboration comes after the New York rabble-rousers pulled out of their scheduled appearance at T In The Park at the weekend.

A band spokesperson explained: "Due to timings of their performance at T In The Park, and recent events, it was not possible to do both in one day.

"As a result, Gogol Bordello have had to cancel their set at T In The Park and apologise to their Scottish fans."

Bordello members Eugene Hutz and Sergey Ryabtsey will join forces with Madge during her headline set, according to a report in NME.

Theirs won't be the only hook-up from hell at the charity event - Timbaland, Justin Timberlake and Duran Duran are at it too, following news of their collaboration on the Old Romantics' forthcoming album Red Carpet Massacre.

Presumably Timbaland will be demonstrating how he is too innovative for planet earth by performing with one of the most puffed-up, ridiculous and just plain insipid bands of all time.

Surely

Spinal Tap reforming deserves more news than this!?!

Mind you if Madonna wore her spiky boob outfit it would compliment Eugene's spiky waxed moustache.

that's a fairly

idiotic comment, implying that they were doing it only for appearance's sake. don't suppose to put your bankrupt morals on others that you don't know the personality of. knobber.

Missing T in The Park

So they can do this show which is nothing more than publicity. So they don’t do their only Scottish gig, then put on a tour for December with no dates north com'on. I was fortunate to see them at Glasto but I’m a bit pissed off now if they don’t add a date up here. It’s Madonna jumping on what is hot so she can try and stay with the kids.

prove it

prove exactly what their motives are. oh, and stop speculating in a "i'm a trendy cynic, me" way.

Of course

I'm a trendy cynic. Cause a band goes to dance about like monkeys instead of playing their own tunes to people who actually want to see them. I can understand they will of looked at this and thought shit this is big but it was pish. The whole live Earth was a joke. No Cynic here.

I'm with Pablol

dumping your set at TITP to dance like tits with Madge, its as bad as New Found Glory dumping their set at reading to go to the grammys cos they got invited. I wasnt bothered, NFG are cunts. GB are dicks for doing this

i fucking hate carbon neutral bollocks, i'm off to light a fire with petrol and coal and animals and trees. it will be immense
