chantay — Thu, 30 Dec 2010 13:30:59 +0000

Like many other years, 2010, has been one to remember. Wonderful things happened this year that were top picks and favorites of The Latest Maxwell News. Sadly, some tragic things also happened this year that will affect nations of people for the rest of their lives. We have much to be thankful for and much to look forward to in the coming 2011. Below is a run-through of this past year. If you have any favorite Maxwell moments from this year, feel free to share them.

J A N U A R Y | Previously in December 2009, we learned that Maxwell was nominated for 6 (52nd Annual) Grammy Awards. Hooray for him and those who make music with him. Just as we were getting our feet wet into the year, so to speak, Haiti was hit by a massive earthquake which claimed many lives. Organizations, websites, peoples, etc. urged those who could provide to send relief to those in need. Please continue to send to those in need, if you can.

Maxwell, along with his band members, went on to appear on such programs as BET Honors, The Oprah Winfrey Show, and The Grammys. Ah, the Grammys! Our favorite part of the month!! We now get to say, “2-Time Grammy Award Winning Artist Maxwell.” Again, congratulations to Maxwell and those involved with making the music. For a look back on All Things Grammy, click here.

F E B R U A R Y | Sometimes, the shortest months are the sweetest. Maxwell won an NAACP Image Award, had an interviews featured in TIME and Playboy magazines, and we learned of his upcoming tour with Jill Scott. (February 2010)

M A R C H / A P R I L / M A Y | More interviews and more award winning (NABOB, named Maxwell Entertainer of the Year), along with anticipation for the upcoming tour. In the month of April, we had tears. Fistful of Tears was performed on the Tonight Show with Jay Leno and Dancing with the Stars. The video for the song debuted on Vevo.com. In May, the arena tour with Maxwell and Jill Scott, co-headlining, kicked off. (March – May 2010)

J U N E / J U L Y | Concert shows, concert shows, concert shows, interviews and a television appearance (The Today Show’s Toyota Concert Series). We got word in June that Maxwell would be postponing the remaining dates of his tour which would feature Melanie Fiona and Estelle (on select dates) as opening acts. (June – July 2010)

A U G U S T / S E P T E M B E R / O C T O B E R / N O V E M B E R | Recent pictures anyone? Find some of Maxwell in these months. (September – November 2010)
