Martin Garrix had his first international hit with "Animals" when he was 17. He skyrocketed to top billing at festivals worldwide, including Ultra Music Festival in Miami, where he'd just a year previous been a kid in the crowd.
It may be one of the most interesting and fast-to-rise stories in dance music, and you can get a close-up via Garrix's forthcoming visual biography Life = Crazy, a joint effort with his longtime official photographer Louis van Baar. ‘’I share so many amazing memories with Louis," Martin Garrix is quoted in a press release. "It’s very special that we have the opportunity to immortalize some of them in this book. Together with the MENDO team we put something together that exceeded all my expectations. I am very thankful that I can live my dream and get to experience so many incredible moments in this amazing journey." The coffee table book includes hundreds of photographs that illustrate Garrix's whirlwind career. Highs, lows and everything in between are captured in high resolution. ‘’This book is a great way to look back on this amazing journey and really show people how chaotic and crazy our life is," van Baar is quoted in a press release. Life = Crazy will make its debut in numbered prints available at MENDO during ADE on Oct. 17. Check out some preview images from the book below and pre-order it today.

Spike Lee Releases Music Video for Prince Track 'Mary Don't You Weep' From 'BlacKkKlansman'8/22/2018 Prince's previously unreleased track "Mary Don't You Weep" plays during the end credits of Spike Lee's latest film, BlacKkKlansman. On Wednesday (Aug. 22), Lee released a music video for the song, which features scenes and stills from the movie. The four-minute and 20-second clip shows real-life hero Ron Stallworth (played by John David Washington) fighting for civil rights in the late '70s, as he skillfully infiltrates a Colorado chapter of the Ku Klux Klan and exposes their plan to attack people of color. The video also shows Topher Grace's portrayal of former KKK grand wizard David Duke. "Mary Don't You Weep" ends with a photo of Lee and Prince sitting courtside at a basketball game in New York in 1998. This is the second Prince music video that Lee has directed. Back in 1992, he directed the late musician's "Money Don't Matter 2 Night." "Mary Don't You Weep" was announced as part of the track list for Prince's upcoming posthumous album, Piano & A Microphone 1983. While a release date for the album has yet to be announced, "Marry Don't You Weep" is currently available on streaming services. Watch the video for "Mary Don't You Weep" below. BREAKING TOUR BUZZ: Nicki Minaj Cancels North American Tour Amid Reports of Low Ticket Sales8/22/2018
Nicki Minaj has cancelled her upcoming North American tour with Future just a month before it was set to start, citing her need to "reevaluate elements of production," per a statement from Live Nation. The news comes alongside unsubstantiated reports of low ticket sales.
One casualty of the rescheduled concert tour, which is now slated to kick off in May 2019, is that Future will no longer be a co-headliner due to a scheduling conflict of his own. And the cancellation is only for the North American leg of the tour. The previously announced European leg will occur as scheduled, now kicking off the entire tour in February 2019. News of the cancellation came just a couple hours after Page Six reported extremely low ticket sales. According to a source with Live Nation, per the report, "Nicki's tour could be the most disappointing ticket sales of the year for any artist." The source went on to detail several major cities where Minaj has sold a few thousand tickets in venues that can hold up to 20,000 people. At the time of that report, those same sources said the tour was in danger of being cancelled, and now that's happened. Minaj posted a video to her social media accounts saying that it was simply a matter of timing and the delay of the "Queen" release by two months. "Now, I just simply don't have the time to rehearse and be on the road and give you guys the level of a show I need to give," she said.
Since the cancellation announcement, Minaj has been on Twitter assuring her fans that the tour was postponed so she could rework it to give them a better experience, and even promising a few perks for her "platinum and gold VIPs." Minaj says that Live Nation will be taking refunds, or allowing already-purchased tickets to be used at the rescheduled concerts, depending on what the fans wanted.
