The band shared a lengthy statement explaining the situation via Facebook: “We regret to inform you all that, due to reasons entirely beyond our control, we’re forced to cancel our participation in the upcoming US Tour with Mayhem and Midnight, for which ...

Warner Brothers is gearing up for a sequel to I Am Legend starring Will Smith and Michael B. Jordan.

Pusha T Shares How Pharrell’s Devastating Feedback Changed the Course of His Next Album
Pusha T took to Instagram to debut his newest “Hear Me Clearly” track with Nigo.

In a new interview with Greg Prato of Consequence, IRON MAIDEN singer Bruce Dickinson was asked for an update on the progress of the songwriting sessions for his next solo album.

But between lockdowns and albums and MAIDEN tours and everything else, I’m looking for a clear space to actually nail and say, ‘Okay, this is what it’s gonna be,’ and get [longtime collaborator] Roy [‘Z’ Ramirez] to put some backing tracks down. And then we can do it. So we’re at the point now where we’ve already got — I don’t know — anywhere between 50 and 70 percent of the material for the album, depend[ing]...
