BRAD MURRAY plans to launch his new album at Xmas time. Delays and management problems etc have meant BRADS showbiz life is 'upthefan' at the moment. There is talk of JED COOL and MURRAY teaming up for a live show ("TOGETHER AT LAST") around xmas time to celebrate the new CD.

JED COOL is set to return in 2005!! The 'Wonder kid of the 80's' and self proclaimed 'Boss Of Pop' will be back in the fray during 2005. Jed Cool, who must surely hold the record for the most comebacks in history said: "I'm coming back to kick the music world into shape. To sift the 'wheat' from the 'chaff'. Of course, I'm one hundred percent whole wheat". It is unclear if any new music will be recorded, but Cool will be entering ITV's 'X-factor' show to "sort those buggers out".
