Kanye West has pulled out of Coachella, TMZ, Variety, and Billboard report. His representatives have not yet supplied a reason for his withdrawal, nor has the festival commented. West was due to headline the festival on Sunday April 17 and 24. While the reasons remain unclear, West suggested in February that he would cancel his set if fellow headliner Billie Eilish did not apologize to Travis Scott. West believed that Eilish had insulted Scott—whom West intended to bring out at Coachella—when she paused a show to help a fan, not long after the Astroworld tragedy. Eilish said she “literally never said a thing about travis” and “was just helping a fan.” Pitchfork has emailed representatives for West and Coachella. In addition to Friday night headliner Harry Styles, Variety notes that the ori...

FKA twigs has been cast as in a forthcoming cinematic reboot of The Crow, according to Entertainment Weekly. She’ll star alongside Bill Skarsgård in the update, a “modern reimagining” of James O’Barr’s comic book series, with a script by Zach Baylin (King Richard) and directed by Rupert  Sanders (Snow White and the Huntsman). Since the 1994 screen adaptation of The Crow—which was notable for the accidental on-set death of star Brandon Lee—multiple attempts have been made at rebooting it. Jason Momoa, Mark Wahlberg, Bradley Cooper, and director Corin Hardy have all been attached to the project at different points since 2010. FKA twigs’ most recent acting credit was in the 2019’s Honey Boy, and this year she issued the new Caprisongs mixtape.

Riderless Horse is my first solo record, and it’s the first record my former partner, Kennan Gudjonsson, didn’t produce. I haven’t made an album since 2010. I decided to stop pursuing music several years after my sixth record, Outlaster, because of unhappiness, overwhelming chaos, mental illness, and my tragically dysfunctional relationship with Kennan. Creating music had always been a positive outlet during difficult times, but eventually it became a source of absolute misery. Kennan, a cat, and I lived in a studio apartment in NYC for 25 years, finding ways to survive while making records and going on tours. Our apartment was the place where people would come stay, eat, drink, play music, and use our tub. It was quite a home we had created, but it was decaying steadily from the moment we...
