The 2022 CMT Music Awards red carpet is open, drawing in some of the biggest names in country music. The 2022 CMT Music Awards, taking place at Nashville’s Municipal Auditorium on Monday (April 11) night, made headlines well before the country awards show even got underway when Kelsea Ballerini – co-hosting alongside Anthony Mackie and Kane Brown – revealed she tested positive for COVID-19 and would have to pitch in remotely. “I cannot be there in person anymore and I am devastated.

RICHIE FAULKNER Says New JUDAS PRIEST Album Is Completely Written: We Just ‘Need To Record It Properly’
In a new interview with Keefy of Ghost Cult, JUDAS PRIEST guitarist Richie Faulkner spoke about the progress of the songwriting sessions for the band’s follow-up to 2018’s “Firepower” album. He said (as transcribed by BLABBERMOUTH.NET): “We’re in the process of putting it together. Obviously, that process has been stalled somewhat due to COVID the last couple of years. Now that [the COVID restrictions] have been lifted, we’re now on a touring cycle. So now there’s that challenge to deal with in terms of putting the record together.

SCORPIONS Singer KLAUS MEINE Explains ‘Wind Of Change’ Lyric Change: ‘It’s Not The Time To Romanticize Russia’
SCORPIONS singer Klaus Meine has opened up about his decision to alter some of the words in the band’s anti-war anthem “Wind Of Change” order to appropriately reflect what’s going on in Europe. Meine and his bandmates wrote “Wind Of Change” after performing at 1989’s Moscow Music Peace Festival in Moscow, where they shared the stage with other hard rock acts like BON JOVI and MÖTLEY CRÜE. The song was inspired by the sight of thousands of Russians cheering them on in 1988 — when they became the first hard rock band to play in Russia — and in 1989, at the aforementioned festival, even though they were a German band. On March 26, at the opening concert of SCORPIONS‘ “Sin City Nights” residency at Zappos Theater at Planet Hollywood R...

You’ve gotta keep this temple, you’ve gotta keep the heavy metal temple clean and ready to deal with whatever comes your way. And one of them, for me, was my prostate cancer issue. “Let me quickly tell you: I should have listened to my doctors, because my doctors were saying, R...
