In their upcoming movie Big Time Rush get the chance to take on some of the most iconic Beatles tracks and here's what they had to say about it...
James "It's an amazing honour but we were also really nervous, we didn't want to screw it up, The Beatles are legendary."
Logan "Their work is timeless so to be able to sing and play along with that is a dream come true."
James "And the movie is a great opportunity to pass The Beatles music onto another generation."
Big Time Rush's album 'Elevate' is out 6th February!
Big Time Rush will also be hitting the road beginning late February 2012 on their first-ever headlining multi-city concert dates for the Better With U Tour. Fans will be able to see the music and TV sensations in major cities across the US including a major performance at New York’s famed Radio City Music Hall. "We can't wait to go on the road for our ‘Better With U’ tour,” said Big Time Rush. “We are so excited to perform songs off our new album for our fans." Special support act One Direction will join Big Time Rush beginning February 24th in Chicago. One Direction’s debut single “What Makes You Beautiful” became the fastest selling single of 2011 and debuted at #1 on the Official UK Charts.
Big Time Rush’s social media profile has risen just as quickly, with an online community of almost 600,000 Twitter followers and more than 2.3 million Facebook users who really, really “like” them.
The boy band visited the UK 3 times in 2011, selling out concerts at the 02 Shepherd’s Bush Empire and Manchester Academy, signing albums at packed HMV stores across the country and bringing Westfield to a screaming standstill for a performance. Big Time Rush hope to return to the UK for more concerts in 2012 and to promote their new album Elevate.
Now in its second season TV series Big Time Rush follows four best friends from Minnesota who trade in their hockey sticks for music superstardom in Los Angeles. The show has been seen by 5.5 million people in the UK alone and Series 1 has started to air on ITV channels. The launch of the hit series on Nickelodeon was the most watched live-action series premiere in the network’s history.
