Axl Rose found jury service 'relatively painless'.

The Guns N' Roses frontman has confirmed he took part in a short trial recently. He was requested to sit on a jury for four days and found the process much more enjoyable than he'd expected.

'It was relatively painless,' he told People. 'I was fortunate that everyone in the courthouse and jurors were all really great, plus I got to see daylight from a different prospect.'

The musician finished the process on Tuesday. He sat on the jury on a civil trial which took place in Santa Monica, California.

It's been a busy time for the rock god. He has only just finished a US tour with the famed band, the first time they have played a series of shows in the country for five years.

They have other big things coming up, as they are being inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in April. Other groups receiving the honour include Red Hot Chili Peppers, Beastie Boys and Donovan.

Kelly Clarkson will reportedly perform the national anthem at the US Super Bowl.

The 29-year-old songstress has been chosen to perform at the prestigious NFL championship game on February 5, a source has revealed.

The official announcement of the Super Bowl entertainment line-up was expected to be made later this month, but an insider leaked the information to The Associated Press last night.

Country stars Blake Shelton and Miranda Lambert are also rumoured to be taking to the stage at the sporting event. They are expected to perform America the Beautiful during the pre-game rounds.

Queen of Pop Madonna was confirmed as a half-time act at the end of last year.

Her highly anticipated performance will be 'imagined' by Cirque Du Soleil and her longtime creative director Jaime King.

Kelly will follow into the footsteps of legendary performers like Christina Aguilera, Janet Jackson and Bruce Springsteen if she takes centre stage at the Lucas Oil Stadium next month.

The talented singer shot to fame when she won the 2002 series of American Idol.

Leonard Cohen�s reveals Darkness

Leonard Cohen has revealed his new spoken word song off his upcoming album Old Ideas.

The song is called Darkness and is his first release since Dear Heather in 2004 and his twelfth studio album for his career.

Darkness sees Cohen muse on his experience on this Earth in that comforting, all-knowing tone that only Cohen can inject into song.

'The present's not that pleasant, just a lot of things to do. I thought the past would last me, but the darkness got that too,' he sings at one point. 'Winning you was easy, but darkness was the prize,' he sings at another. As though recounting a rich life of experiences.

Old Ideas will see the light of day on January 30.
