‘The Sound Of 007’ event celebrates 60 years of the Bond film franchise on October 4. The date marks the anniversary of the world premiere for the first 007 film, Dr. No, which was held on October 5, 1962.
The event, which is curated by five-time Bond composer David Arnold, will feature Bond soundtrack artists including Garbage and Shirley Bassey as well as special guests including Celeste who will put their own interpretation on classic theme songs. These songs will be backed by the Royal Philharmonic Concert Orchestra, conducted by Nicholas Dodd.
Garbage are set to play ‘The World Is Not Enough’, their theme from the 1997 Bond film of the same name, with Bassey. “I’m swooning like the child inside. Sometimes life is just so magical, I can’t believe it,” wrote Garbage singer Shirley Manson on Instagram.
James Bond producers Michael G. Wilson and Barbara Broccoli said: “Music has always played a vital role in the success of the 007 series. Over the 60-year history, we have been blessed with the extraordinary talents of legendary composers and artists who have created the most powerful and moving musical contributions to our 25 films. ‘The Sound Of 007’ in Concert on October 4 will celebrate their tremendous achievements.”
In November, the Royal Albert Hall will also present a series of full in-concert screenings of recent Bond films with the Royal Philharmonic Orchestra performing the scores live to picture.
The series features the in-concert premiere of Spectre (November 19: at 2pm and 7.30pm) and November 20 (1.30pm), alongside Skyfall (November 18: 7.30pm) and Casino Royale (November 17: 7.30pm).
Tickets for ‘The Sound Of 007’ event will be available from 10am on August 1 here. Fans can also call 020 7589 8212 to book tickets. The pre-sale for the venue’s Friends and Patrons runs from 10am tomorrow (July 29).
Meanwhile, Jack White has spoken about his 2008 Bond theme ‘Another Way To Die’, calling it “one of the most divisive things” he’s worked on.

Taylor Swift reportedly paid for everyone’s bill to clear a restaurant in Kansas City after attending Travis Kelce’s Chiefs football game.

Yesterday (September 24), Swift was spotted at the Kansas City Chiefs vs Chicago Bears game in Kansas City, sitting in a suite with Kelce’s mum Donna. After the game, which the Cheifs won 41-3, both Swift and Kelce were spotted driving in Kelce’s convertible.
Allegedly, the two went to a restaurant where Swift paid for everyone’s bill in exchange for them leaving the premises immediately. In a since-deleted TikTok video, a Swift fan claimed that Swift “paid for everyone at the restaurant so that they would leave”.

According to LBC, the video was captioned: “Holy s***, my friend just called me. Taylor paid for everyone’s meals, they had to leave. Not saying where. She is with Travis!”
“I just got a call from a friend and Taylor is going to a place, and she just paid for everybody at the restaurant so that they would leave,” said the fan in the TikTok video.
She continued: “They were eating and the waitress came up and said, ‘Here’s the deal, everything is paid for but you have to have to leave, like right now.’ How freaking insane is this! Oh and of course, she’s with Travis Kelce.”
The pop sensation has been linked to the Kansas City Chiefs tight end after Kelce candidly revealed that he had tried to shoot his shot at Swift by attending one of her ‘Eras’ tour shows with a friendship bracelet that included his phone number on it ready to hand it to her.
Kelce shared that the bracelet was never given to the pop star but he did send her a message telling her that the ball is in her court. Speaking to Pat Mcafee in an interview on The Pat McAfee Show, Kelce said: “I told her that I’ve seen her rock a stage in Arrowhead and she might have to come see me rock the stage at Arrowhead…We’ll see what happens in the near future.”
Fans of the ‘Anti-Hero’ singer have been going wild on the internet since her appearance at the American Football game. One X/Twitter user wrote that Swift and Kelce’s mum being spotted together was “not something I had on my 2023 bingo card”, while another user joked: “What are we doing when Travis Kelce pauses mid game, points to Taylor, and says ‘this one is for you, you know who you are. I love you’ and then proceeds to make a touchdown?”

In other Taylor Swift news, her fans recently hit back at Elon Musk‘s suggestion that the pop star should share her music directly onto X/Twitter.
Earlier this week, Musk – who bought the social media platform for $44billion last year – replied to a post from Swift in which she revealed the ‘From The Vault’ track titles for ‘1989 (Taylor’s Version)’.
“I recommend posting some music or concert videos directly on the X platform,” he wrote. Many Swifties have since hit out at the X owner over his idea regarding the star’s music, with one writing: “With all due respect Mr. Elon sir I think Miss Swift knows what she’s doing.”
Elsewhere, Swift recently urged her fans to take action at the forthcoming US elections, driving record-breaking numbers to the Vote.org website.
“I’ve been so lucky to see so many of you at my US shows recently. I’ve heard you raise your voices, and I know how powerful they are. Make sure you’re ready to use them in our elections this year!,” she posted on her social media.
