Stones gather no fans; Mick is sick with flu

LONDON -- The Rolling Stones have postponed a concert for the third time in a month because Mick Jagger has the flu, the band said Friday.

The rockers deferred a show planned for Saturday at Twickenham stadium in west London, rescheduling it for Sept. 20. A concert set for Sunday is expected to go ahead as planned.

"The doctors tell me that I must have two more days rest, and after that I will be completely recovered and ready for a full-on stadium show on Sunday," the 60-year-old singer said in a statement.

The band postponed a Wednesday concert in Amsterdam because Jagger had a sore throat and put off a date in Spain earlier this month because he had laryngitis.

"The Stones were looking forward to opening in the U.K. -- for their hometown audience -- with all guns blazing," said tour promoter Michael Cohl. "We're sorry to disappoint the fans who were coming on Saturday."

'Simpsons' voice talent slated to receive Emmy

LOS ANGELES -- Hank Azaria is already an Emmy Award winner, a month before the ceremony.

Azaria will receive the Emmy for voiceover performance on "The Simpsons," the animated Fox series for which he provides a number of voices, the TV academy announced.

The 39-year-old was honored for the "Moe Baby Blues" episode, in which bartender Moe goes gaga over baby Maggie. Azaria could add a second trophy: He's nominated as guest actor in a comedy for his appearance on last season's "Friends."

The Academy of Television Arts & Sciences this week also announced winners for the individual achievement in animation category. The awards, including Azaria's, were juried ones, meaning there were no nominees in the category.

IRS moves in, then out on singer Peabo Bryson

ATLANTA -- The Internal Revenue Service used a large moving truck to carry away the contents of a mansion to pay back taxes singer-songwriter Peabo Bryson allegedly owes.

Bryson owed the IRS $1.2 million as of 2000, according to a federal tax lien on file at the Fulton County Courthouse. He couldn't be reached for comment.

Although Bryson isn't listed as owner of the house in the city's trendy Buckhead neighborhood, IRS spokesman Mark Green said the belongings confiscated Thursday belonged to Bryson.

"We have exhausted all measures to collect some unpaid taxes, and this is the very last step that we had to take," Green said.

Bryson has had troubles with the IRS since 1980, according to court records. In 1989, a lien on a home Bryson owned was settled when he paid $1.2 million in taxes.
