Chris Willman Music WriterIt was a bad sign for historic music retail in America when the building that used to house the famous Tower Records in West Hollywood was finally demolished in February. And now things are looking grim for the other most iconic record store in the U.S., and an even longer-standing one — Ernest Tubb’s Record Shop, a fixture in downtown Nashville since 1947 and in its present location since 1951.“It’s with great sadness that we share the news that the Ernest Tubb Record Shop — building and business — will be sold,” said an announcement on the store’s social media, adding that the store will shut down some time in the spring.The store is important in country music history not only as a retail site but as the longtime home of a radio show nearly as old as the shop itself, “The Midnite Jamboree,” which still broadcasts live following the Grand Ole Opry on Saturday nights.

Strictly Come Dancing bosses are reportedly planning to replace long-serving judge Bruno Tonioli with Anton Du Beke. The 55-year-old took over from the Italian dancer, 66, in 2021, after he was forced to remain in the US due to the Covid pandemic and commitments to Dancing With The Stars. Anton was a firm fan favourite during last year’s series – which saw actress Rose Ayling-Eliis crowned winner – and now, producers are planning to make his transition from the dance floor to the podium permanent, according to The Sun.

Bruno Tonioli's role as Strictly judge could be officially axed as he could be permanently replaced by Anton Du Beke.

STRICTLY Come Dancing bosses intend to keep Anton Du Beke as a judge this year — axing Bruno Tonioli. Bruno, 66, was ruled out of last year’s judging panel after Covid restrictions prevented him from travelling to the UK. The Italian, who has been on the show 16 years, was expected to return after Craig Revel Horwood gave his support by casting him on the live tour.

Strictly Come Dancing producers are reportedly keeping Anton Du Beke on the show's judging panel, meaning Bruno Tonioli might be axed.Due to the pandemic, the 66-year-old Italian native has not appeared on the BBC show in person for the last two years.In 2020 Bruno - who judges the US version of the dancing show Dancing With the Stars - appeared via video link from his home in LA.In 2021, Strictly saw dancer Anton hang up his dancing shoes and take his place at the judging panel alongside Craig Revel Horwood, Shirley Ballas and Motsi Mabuse.It's been teased that Bruno, who has starred on the show for 16 years and is currently on the Strictly tour as a judge, would not be returning to the hit BBC show this year.In an exclusive chat with The Sun, a source said: "We have been told Anton's contract as a judge is going to be renewed. The bosses were really happy with his performance.""It also hasn't escaped their notice his salary is considerably lower than Bruno's."They revealed that there is a "huge amount of affection" for him on the BBC show and that the decision will "ruffle some feathers".However, because the judging panel format worked well last year, it is believed that bosses are reluctant to switch it up again.The announcement comes after the Strictly judge Craig Revel Horwood showed his support for welcoming Bruno back to the show.

Strictly Come Dancing professional hopes to do this by showing fans a new side of himself as he skates his way through the competition on ITV's Dancing On Ice.In a new interview, the 45-year-old, who famously quit the ballroom programme back in 2018, expressed that his competitive reputation isn't accurately reflecting his personality. While speaking to The Mirror, he said: "I had 15 years of that narrative, regardless of how funny I was or the silly stuff that I got up to backstage."If my Strictly partner wanted to work hard and try and be there at the end, I'd be working my backside off. "But if my partner was like, "I don't want it that much", that was fine also." Brendan became one of the most controversial dancers on Strictly for his countless spats with Craig Revel Horwood as he often jumped to the defence of his partners when the latter awarded them with unfavourable feedback.But Brendan, who spent 15 years on the BBC One show, says he's no longer the confronting type of person.The professional dancer is partnered up with Vanessa Bauer on the latest series of Dancing On Ice.And judging by Brendan's way of words, he couldn't have chosen for a better ice skating pro after having described the 25-year-old just as hard-working as himself."There are a few elements to our personalities that just work," he continued. "We love that feeling of, 'It's not quite good enough until the day.'"We have that same drive, the same work ethic."Brendan carried on, saying: "She's got a little bit of spice in her, which I like."Later this month, Brendan will be reunited by his former Strictly colleague Arlene Phillips, who is expected to take up a guest spot on the Dancing On Ice panel. Rugby player Ben Foden became the first contestant

Anton Du Beke has revealed that his wife Hannah "rejected" his offer of a dance when they first met - but it made him fancy her more.The Strictly Come Dancing star, 55, dished on his marriage on Channel 4's Steph's Packed Lunch on Tuesday (February 8).Telling the tale of how he met his spouse Hannah Summers, who he's been married to since 2017, he said he was "instantly attracted to her".Anton said: "I was instantly attracted to her. We were across a table and she did that thing you girls do that you say isn’t flirting…"As the evening wore on, I asked her to dance and she said no! She actually rejected my dancing advance… Which made me find her even more attractive and hilarious at the same time."Anton and Hannah clearly hit off though, because they now live in Buckinghamshire with their twins George and Henrietta, who were born in March 2017.It comes as Anton is set to return to the stage with his Strictly pal and dance partner Erin Boag.Anton and Erin have danced together for 25 years, and will now tour the UK with their Showtime dance show after they were forced to pause their 2021 tour amid Covid complications.Erin revealed the moment she first met Anton, and she claims the ballroom dancer "pranced into the studio" to make a grand entrance.Erin said: "Nothing has changes in 25 years.
