Iconic TV channel axe all UK production after almost three decades as it becomes latest casualty of streaming
I USED to love going to my best mate's house to watch MTV when I was a kid in the Nineties because my parents were too tight to pay for extra TV channels. But youngsters now won't be able to do the same, as I'm told MTV UK is the latest casualty of social media and streaming. 4 4 4 4 My insiders said the station has been axed in all but name after bosses quietly closed the UK production arm of the channel. MTV spin doctors insist the station 'will still have a presence', but concede they will no longer be making original music content. Instead, generic US shows will be aired alongside the usual rolling music videos. Notable cancellations include original series Gonzo and Fresh Out UK. As well as being a huge blow to British music, it's also a major loss to up-and-coming presenting talent. Stars including Kelly Brook, Emma Willis and Cat Deeley all got their big breaks in telly thanks to the station. Greg James and Joel Dommett also hosted on the channel earlier in their careers. My source said: 'Everyone at MTV is gutted. To say there has been a bloodbath of cuts would be an understatement. 'Staff have been left in tears as some have been there for decades. "Those that are left fear more doom and gloom could be around the corner.' It comes after the EMAs — the European answer to the famous VMAs — was axed for this year in another cost- saving measure. A spokesman said: ' MTV UK is sunsetting local series Gonzo and Fresh Out UK, beginning this month. 'We are deeply grateful to our hosts Jack Saunders and Becca Dudley, the talented artists who have been a part of these series, as well as the teams who brought them to life. Watch emotional moment Ozzy Osbourne speak about amazing life with Sharon in resurfaced moment from The Osbournes as rocker tragically dies 'Fans can continue to enjoy global music shows like the MTV VMAs, STANS and Ozzy Osbourne: No Escape From Now on MTV and Paramount+, alongside digital music content on our MTV UK social channels.' I know nothing can ever stay the way it was . . . but this just makes me want to go back to the Nineties. END OF AN ERA By Jack Hardwick MTV was once a juggernaut of the music industry - with stars lining up to feature on its regular music shows. So I was genuinely gutted to hear from multiple sources the dyer state MTV has found itself in and the brutal culling of large swaths of its staff. UK based production teams and talent handlers have all been given the chop - many of which had dedicated over a decade to the channel. Officially the business is restructuring but it's another sure tell sign the music industry is battling for survival in an age of social media dominance and TV streaming. One exec put it to me: "In terms of original music content on music channels, that's it. There are no music channel promo opportunities for artists now. It was a nice win for newer acts to help break them as we always championed them. It's bleak." The shake up comes hot on the heels of MTV resting the Europe Music Awards for the year - amid rising costs. I'm told it will be back for 2026 though personally I won't be holding my breath. The word iconic is far too often used but MTV really is. For decades it has dominated. On a personal level I remember begging my mum and dad to add the £1 music channel bolt on to our Sky package. Admittedly they took some wearing down but I eventually got my own way. Back in 2021 I excitedly sat front and centre as the Queen of Pop herself Madonna filmed a special for her latest album Madame X in London. A new record is said to be due out before the end of the year - though this time around Madge will have to look elsewhere for promo. I hope the bloodbath currently sweeping the brand right now does achieve its goal - to streamline and revive a glorious brand in the ever challenging market. But I fear it could be too little too late, and it's a stark warning to us all. Adapt or die.

The dark genius of Billy Joel, the most underrated man in rock
Has Billy Joel been underrated? It might seem an absurd thing to suggest. The American singer-songwriter is among the top 30 best-selling artists in pop history; he's had 33 hit singles, sold 160 million records, won multiple Grammy, Emmy and Tony awards and ranks as the fourth-most-popular solo artist in America of all time. Yet at the height of his 1970s and Eighties fame, he was something of a critical whipping post, a purveyor of 'self-dramatising kitsch'. A new two-part documentary, Billy Joel: And So It Goes, attempts belatedly to redress such critical disdain. 'I had a chip on my shoulder,' Joel admits in the documentary, recalling when the pugnacious superstar would tear up reviews on stage and phone critics personally to scold them. He casts it back to childhood bullying during an impoverished upbringing in Long Island, New York. 'I learnt life is a fight. And that was a good lesson to learn.' And So It Goes is packed with fantastic never-before-seen footage, home movies, candid snapshots, intimate backstage and domestic scenes – as well as compelling studio and live performances, with musical luminaries queuing up to laud his talent, including Paul McCartney, Sting, Don Henley and Bruce Springsteen. ('His melodies are better than mine,' the Boss admits.) I have always had a soft spot for Billy Joel. At the height of punk, when he was perceived as one of the least cool musicians on the planet, I loved his 1977 album The Stranger, for its sharp, romantically observed songs of everyday life. The mixture of romanticism and cynicism in his greatest work strikes a powerful chord, from pugnacious rockers such as My Life to the epic sweep of Scenes From an Italian Restaurant and Vienna. Such worldwide smash hits as Uptown Girl, We Didn't Start the Fire and River of Dreams have fixed his place in the top 30 best-selling music artists of all time, even though he effectively gave up writing songs in 1993 and has recently had to cancel all his upcoming tour dates due to ill health. The documentary arrives with unfortunate timing. In May, the 76-year-old revealed that he was suffering from fluid build-up in his brain that affected his 'hearing, vision and balance'. The condition is called normal pressure hydrocephalus, though Joel claimed he is 'not deathly ill' and has undergone surgery in the hope of making a recovery. 'They keep referring to what I have as a 'brain disorder', so it sounds a lot worse than what I'm feeling.' Yet it seems quite unlikely that he will ever be back on the road again. One might conclude from the documentary that it is about as much as Joel would have expected from life. 'I've had a lot of hard lessons,' he ruminates, contemplating struggles with drugs and alcohol and three divorces. 'I realised life doesn't always have a happy ending.' There is a surprising darkness at the film's heart, with a persistent undercurrent of downbeat fatalism. 'Life's not a musical, it's a Greek tragedy,' is how Joel sums up his philosophy. 'I always felt like an outsider,' he says of a childhood as the only Jewish family in an Italian neighbourhood, raised by a single mother after his father deserted them when Joel was eight. 'We were the discard family on the block. We didn't have a new car, we didn't have a dad, we were the Jews, we didn't have any money, sometimes we didn't have any food.' ('There was poor, and there was Billy Joel poor' confirms lifelong friend Jon Small). His mother's moods swung between depression and euphoria, and she was 'probably bipolar', according to Joel's older sister, Judy Molinari, but 'no matter how poor we were, she knew Billy had to have his piano lessons'. Their father was a frustrated classical concert pianist, who once knocked Joel unconscious for rocking up Beethoven's Moonlight Sonata. 'He was a very dark man,' recalls Joel. 'He told me once as a kid 'life is a cesspool.'' Following his parent's divorce in 1957, Joel didn't see his father for 16 years. One of his greatest songs, Vienna, was inspired by an ultimately frustrating reunion with his father, whom he tracked down in Austria with a second family (he has a half brother, Alexander Joel, who grew up to become a respected orchestral conductor). It was there he learnt the devastating history of the Joel family, formerly wealthy German industrialists who lost everything during the rise of the Nazis and were mostly wiped out in the Holocaust. Joel reveals a love-hate relationship with his own art. He describes songwriting as 'a lonely job', and confesses 'I see the piano as this big black box with 88 teeth trying to bite my hands off.' Each episode is two and a half hours long, and, frankly, five hours in the company of Billy Joel is a lot. It is leavened by humour, thankfully, and not all of it based around the physical appearance of a pop superstar who always manages to look like he hates getting his picture taken. He looks positively ill during his first wedding, to Elizabeth Weber in 1973 ('I had reservations,' he admits). His second wife, supermodel Christie Brinkley, admits that she was almost put off by his 'Long Island bubble hair' and terrible clothes. He is a pop star who never had a good haircut – the pictures of Joel wearing chainmail and sporting shaggy ringlets and a droopy moustache in short-lived early Seventies heavy metal duo Attila have to be seen to be believed. By the end of the documentary, you might conclude that baldness is the kindest thing ever to happen to him. Episode one is the most compelling but also the saddest, with a huge romantic arc, following the love affair that drove his career, and broke both their hearts. Joel met Elizabeth Weber-Small when she was married to his best friend and Attila bandmate, Jon Small. He was so ashamed of their burgeoning love affair he twice attempted suicide (first with pills, then with furniture polish) and wound up in a mental hospital. He wrote the whole of his tender 1971 solo debut album, Cold Spring Harbor, in a state of romantic longing. When they eventually got together, Weber became the driving force in his career, taking on the role of his manager. She is the subject of such deathlessly romantic ballads as Just the Way You Are and Always a Woman, as well as the less flattering Stiletto. Interviewed for the documentary, Weber talks about Joel with tenderness and insight, revealing that she left him because of his heavy drinking and the near-suicidal behaviour that led to a life-threatening motorcycle crash in 1982. 'I would have stayed,' she reveals. 'Like so many women before me, make that accommodation for someone you love. But there was no way I could stand by and watch him kill himself. I didn't have it in me. I felt very strongly that's where it was going.' 'It was sad,' is the most Joel can admit on the subject. The second episode is a lot of fun, packed with delightful home footage shot by his second great love, the eternally bright-spirited Brinkley, who inspired Joel's most upbeat album, An Innocent Man, in 1983. There's a lot of witty patter, goofy backstage carry-on and fantastic music, with domestic bliss breaking out as the couple marry in 1985 and have a daughter, Alexa (also interviewed for the documentary). But it all goes sour when his new manger (his ex-wife's brother, whom she warned him against) defrauds him of multi-millions, Joel starts drinking again, quits songwriting and breaks up with Brinkley. She gets emotional recalling the moment she told him how unhappy she was, and his response was to just snap, 'Yeah, fine, go.' 'It was a very sad time for me,' admits Joel now. 'I was so devastated.' At which point viewers may realise they still have an hour to go of stints in rehab, falling out with Elton John (conspicuously absent from the documentary) over Joel's destructively heavy drinking during co-headlining tours, and another failed marriage, before we leave Joel in his fourth marriage (to Alexis Roderick, an equestrian and lawyer 30 years his junior, in 2015), with two young daughters (Della and Remy), sailing his beloved boat Alexa out to sea, and proclaiming hope for a future that we already know is about to be dashed by illness. I met Joel in a hotel bar after a concert in Detroit in 1990 and spent a long and increasingly drunken night in his company. I really liked him. He was funny, self-deprecating and the life of our spontaneous party, getting on a hotel piano and leading a rowdy sing-along into the small hours. The next day, his tour manager accused me of having led him astray and revealed that Joel had lost his voice and would have to cancel that night's concert. I realise now that was during a period when things were starting to go south again for Joel, who told me Brinkley had gone to stay with her parents in Hawaii. 'You can't have a fight with your wife when her parents own a beautiful beach house in Hawaii,' he joked. 'It's like any excuse to pack your bags and run home to momma.' That humour percolates through And So It Goes, but so does the self-absorption and melancholy that seem to have haunted him all his life. His songwriting seems to have been a vital outlet for his deepest feelings, but he cut off that part of himself in 1993, exhausted by artistic struggle. As Sting admiringly points out, Joel is a master of song structure, and the documentary explores his compositional roots in European classical music, which Joel adores. 'I realised I've never forgiven myself for not being Beethoven,' he confesses. It's clear that Joel's songs sprang from a deep well of often troubled emotions and experiences, reflecting the life of a man for whom music was a vocation, a burden and, perhaps, salvation. 'Everything I've done, everything I've lived through, has somehow found a way into my music,' says Joel. His place as an all-time great singer-songwriter cannot really be in doubt.
