Dan Auerbach

The Black Keys’ singer Dan Auerbach has blasted rocker STEVE MILLER after the band inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame last week, following Miller’s own negative comments about the ceremony.

The 36 year old rocker has told Rolling Stone magazine this week that he’s had many “sleepless nights” since Friday evening’s ceremony (April 8th), saying that the “whole process was unpleasant” leading up to Miller’s induction and that they wished they hadn’t introduced him to the stage.

During his acceptance speech, the 72 year old rock star became the unlikely talking point of the entire ceremony when he used the opportunity to denounce not only the Hall of Fame itself but also the entire music industry, calling them “f***in’ gangsters and crooks”.

Lana Del Rey and The Black Keys' guitarist and vocalist Dan Auerbach have decided to work together after enjoying each other's company in an unusual location - a strip club. 

Lana Del Rey and Dan Auerbach ended up in a New York strip club.

It seems the pair had not previously met but were aware of each other's music. In an interview with The Sun, the singer described her meeting with Auerbach in New York and how the pair had met for dinner and wound up in a strip club. She said ''Dan and I weren't friends before this. We both knew each other's music, but it's not that we listened to it a lot of the time. The thing that was fun about Dan was we went out one night for a meal and ended up in a strip club in New York."

How would you celebrate your Grammys triumph? We like to think we'd have all our friends for a big after party (easy on the alcohol and NO drugs, of course). The Black Keys star Dan Auerbach had no time for that; he's busy getting a divorce.

Stephanie Gonis wasn't at the ceremony as The Black Keys picked up awards Best Rock Performance', 'Best Rock Song' and 'Best Rock Album.' A spokesperson told  US Magazine: "Dan's wife wasn't at the ceremony because they are going through a divorce". His representatives are, so far, yet to comment. Auerbach, 33, and Gonis have one daughter together, 4-year-old Sadie Little Auerbach. In their acceptance speech, the guys kept it succinct, thanking their professional partners and crew and "everybody in Akron, Ohio and everybody in Nashville."

In other Black Keys news, an unlikely feud had arisen between Patrick Carney and Justin Bieber. The band's drummer told TMZ: "He's rich, right?" when asked if Justin Bieber should have received a nomination. "I mean, I don't know. Grammys are, like, for music, not for money, and he's making a lot of money. I don't know - he should be happy, I guess." Bieber watched this and then decided to take to Twitter to offer a repost. And what grandeur can be seen in this post? None, it just says, "the black keys drummer should be slapped around haha".
