Chuck Berry: from enduring Jim Crow to a comeback album at age 90

A key influence on the Beatles and Rolling Stones, Berry overcame racism to become a principal architect of rock’n’roll. Now he’s releasing a new album

Chuck Berry, one of rock’s principal architects, is celebrating his 90th birthday today with the announcement he will release a new album of original songs in 2017.

“I’m growing old! I’ve worked on this record for a long time. Now I can hang up my shoes!” he said in a statement released early on Tuesday.

Chuck will be his first album of new songs in 38 years.

Inside Kim Kardashian armed robbery


Brutally tied up and locked in bathroom as gang of five ransacked boutique Paris apartment

The star was apparently locked in the bathroom during the terrifying incident

A terrified Kim Kardashian was 'tied up, bundled into the bathroom and had a gun held to her head' in a harrowing armed robbery last night.

The reality star, 35, was threatened by FIVE armed masked men dressed as police officers while her husband was performing in New York.

Reports are claiming that robbers managed to access Kim's room after forcibly handcuffing the building's night guard and making him direct them to the star's room.

They then proceeded to 'tie up' the reality star at gunpoint and lock her in the bathroom with her bodyguard before escaping on bicycles.

As Kim was left terrified in the bathroom, the armed men reportedly stole jewellery worth millions of dollars.

The KUWTK star was later rescued after the robbers fled the scene.

Kim's spokesperson Ina Treciokas said: "Kim Kardashian West was held up at gunpoint inside her Paris hotel room this evening, by two armed masked men dressed as police officers.

"She is badly shaken but physically unharmed."

The brunette beauty has been enjoying Paris Fashion Week with her family, but it' thought that her children Saint, nine months, and North, three years, were not in the hotel room at the time of the incident.

Kim's husband, Kanye West, was informed about the incident in the middle of a performance in New York .

He immediately stopped the show and left the stage after apologising to a confused crowd of fans.

he rapper was performing at the Meadows Festival in Queens.

What exactly was stolen?


The haul is said to have included a €4million (£3.5million) ring, a jewellery box with five to six million euros (£4.3-£5.2million) worth of jewels and two mobile phones, according to BFM TV and Reuters.

The value of the damage is estimated to be a whopping €10million (£8.7million).

Kim packed seven huge suitcases for the trip, alongside an entire entourage, and had already shown off a wide variety of bling on nights out.

From huge diamond necklaces, to elegant bracelets and earrings, the star has revealing quite the collection for the 2016 fashion extravaganza.

The star went minimalist for her first night out, keeping it low key in a revealing black bandeau top and sheer dress, not flashing much other than her signature rings.

Just hours later, she once again let her outfit do the talking in a daring cut-out bodysuit, not appearing to wear any jewellery as she glowe don the FROW at Balmain.

Shortly after however, the star made a bold statement in a huge choker necklace, as she made a bold fashion statement in Adidas tracksuit bottoms and a sheer black corset-style top.

She wore her glossy brunette hair in a sleek fashion as she stepped out of her car and flashed her giant rock from hubby Kanye West.

Just hours later she once again went largely jewellery-free in a boob-baring top, but from then on she has been seen flashing the bling in the City of Love.

At the after party for Balmain, Kim and her sister Kourtney co-ordinated in metallics and golds, and Kim opted for huge chunk gold bracelets for the night out.

The revealing outfit had nothing on her black ensemble shortly after however, and Kim came close to flashing EVERYTHING this weekend.

The star showed off a small black cross necklace on this occasion, hidden under a black sheer top.

Her most recent outfit was her most extravagant yet however, as she showed off a chest full of long gold necklaces, over white lace.

The star was at the Givenchy show, and the huge jewellery stood out from the plain lingerie-style dress.

It's unclear exactly which jewellery was taken from the star in the terrifying armed robbery at this stage.

Kardashian's superstar husband Kanye West was performing a gig almost 6,000 miles away in New York, but suddenly walked off stage stating he had a "family emergency".
