Kelly Clarkson and the Wanted on the same bill? The only way that could be sweeter is if there were chocolate involved. And in terms of the 2012 Mixtape Festival, it is.
The sun goes down, the stars come out, the Wanted strips down. We know, we just rewrote the lyrics to The Wanted’s smash hit ‘Glad You Came’ but it’s within in reason and we don’t mean stripped down in that way. We’re not that kinda site. The British boy band performed ‘Glad You Came’ and a cover of Goo Goo Dolls’ mega hit ballad ‘Iris’ acoustically for Slacker Radio in San Diego, Calif.
British boy band the Wanted have signed on to help out with the lighting ceremony of the famed torch this July to start the highly-anticipated London Summer Olympic games that so many look forward to every year.
Just days after announcing that ‘Chasing the Sun’ was their next single, the Wanted tweeted fans a curve ball and dropped a video for ‘Lightning’ — and a release date for the single!
The Wanted performed at MTV’s Spring Break 2012 concert on Thursday, causing so much fan-demonium during their last song that production had to shut down the stage for 25 minutes.
The Wanted treated their die hard fans to an impromptu acoustic set. It wasn’t in a club or at a venue, though. The guys performed on top of a van! Sounds dangerous, right?
Drumroll, please. The Wanted, you know, that “other” British boy band that isn’t the blazing hot and newsmaking One Direction, have announced the title of their upcoming release.
The Wanted might already be huge stars in the U.K., but the ‘Glad You Came’ hitmakers are now building a comparable fan base in the U.S. PopCrush caught up with Wanted member Nathan Sykes, who is the youngest of the quintet at 18 years old, before the boy band’s arena show in Birmingham, England.
What better place for the U.K.’s The Wanted to dish dirt than on ‘Chelsea Lately?’ The feisty late-night hostess with the mostest, Chelsea Handler, grilled the guys on everything from their ages to their drinking habits to their accents, to hilarious responses.
