Ke$ha, the insanely irritating popstar with a voice like a thousand nails on a blackboard, has seemingly grown something resembling a heart as she looks out toward to good people of Japan and thinks “you’ve really suffered enough”.
As such, she’s decided to cancel her upcoming tour of Japan after the country was hit with a catastrophic earthquake and tsunami.
While the country grieves and suffers continued quakes, they certainly don’t need to hear someone singing about ‘Glitter Puke’ or performing the immensely grating ‘Blah Blah Blah’.
Ke$ha released a statement explaining the postponement through her Japanese promoter, Creativeman Productions, saying:
“My heart is with Japan right now through this disaster and these hardships. I genuinely don’t think right now would be appropriate timing for me to perform in Japan given the content and the spirit of my show, which is all about feeling exuberant, rowdy, and wild.
“I plan to bring my party there and to that part of the world when we are all ready to dance and Get $leazy together again.”
“In the meantime I am going to do everything I can to help relief efforts and I encourage everyone in the world to do the same.”
She probably muttered ‘besides, I don’t want to die over there – no offence.’
Even better for Japanese people is that Good Charlotte and Hoobastank have also cancelled shows over there. It almost makes us wish for a British natural disaster.
Almost.

One of the advantages of being an old fart is you don’t have to listen to – or even know anything about – ‘singers’ with currency symbols shoe-horned suspiciously into their Christian names.
All the people that irritated old folks when they actually cared about popular culture are long gone (for example: Black Lace, The Three Gees, Bruno Brookes, ELO and Wings), leaving you to pretend the past was a pink mushroom-filled world of loveliness populated by the likes of Les Dawson, The Beatles, Morecambe & Wise, a pre-nuclear fridge Indiana Jones, Elvis, Graham Chapman and Gizmo from the Gremlins.
Imagine my fury, then, when I heard brand new singles from Roxette, The Human League AND Duran Duran today. How dare these creatures slither out of the shadows and remind us of our shameful cultural mistakes. What next? Ultravox?
I can only hope that today’s generation gets to gulp down the same filthy medicine when, in 2025, this Ke$ha thing resurfaces to knock the rose-tinted spectacles off their rapidly-expanding noses.
