Everything We Know About Adele’s 30 (So Far)
Adele is coming. After a nearly six-year hiatus since the release of 2015’s 25, the superstar is returning with her long-awaited fourth album. Needless to say, the music has been a long time in the making. As rumored comebacks came and went, and fans the world over eagerly crossed their fingers for the next “Hello,” Adele was busy living life and weathering heartbreak. After marrying Simon Konecki in 2018, the singer chose to embrace life as a stay-at-home mom, raising the couple’s son Angelo, who’s now almost nine. However, by the following April, Adele and her husband had split, with the star filing for divorce in September 2019. And all of the singer’s heartache, struggle, and resilience made it into the coming LP. “I feel like this album is self-destruction,” she said in a new cover st...
James Hetfield Recalls When Metallica Recruited Another Singer as Their Frontman
As the frontman of Metallica, James Hetfield is one of heavy metal’s most recognizable singers. However, had the iconic band gotten its wish, he may have been better known solely as the group’s rhythm guitarist. Hetfield hosts a new segment called “Road Dog Brothers” on the Mandatory Metallica channel on SiriusXM, and in it he recalled a time when the band offered the lead vocalist job to Armored Saint’s John Bush. Hetfield began, “A lot of [our] early memories were celebrated with a band called Armored Saint, who were a fellow L.A. band back in the early ’80s.” He added, “When we were getting started, obviously John Bush was a singer we got to know really well, and really, really tried to get him into the band as a singer. It didn’t work out. He was dedicated and very in love with what he...
Bo Burnham’s Inside (The Songs) Declared Ineligible for Comedy Album Grammy
For the 64th year running, the trophy for least intelligible award show goes to the Grammys. As Billboard reports, the Recording Academy has declared Bo Burnham‘s Inside (The Songs) ineligible to compete for Best Comedy Album at the 2022 Grammy Awards. Burnham shared his quarantine opus Inside in March, and it quickly became a pandemic sensation. Less a traditional comedy special than a musical exploration of an unravelling mind, it captured the zeitgeist a second time when Inside (The Songs) dropped in June. The special has already taken home trophies at other, more reputable award shows, including Outstanding Music Direction, Outstanding Writing, and Outstanding Directing for a Variety Special at the 2021 Primetime Emmy Awards. A Best Comedy Album Grammy for ...
Adele Releases First New Single in Six Years “Easy on Me”: Stream
At long last, Adele’s first new single in six years is finally here. It’s called “Easy on Me” and it’s available to stream below. The video for “Easy On Me,” directed by Xavier Dolan, was shot last month in Quebec and begins in the same house featured in the video for her smash 2015 single, “Hello.” “Easy on Me” is the lead single from 30, Adele’s first album in six years and her follow-up to 2015’s touching full-length 25. The 33-year-old pop superstar has been dropping hints and quotes about her upcoming LP for a while now, but she didn’t officially confirm its title or release date of November 19th — which, by the way, is a big enough deal to cause Taylor Swift to move Red (Taylor’s Version) up by one week to November 12th, so as to avoid competition — until just yesterday. Adverti...

TED NUGENT Says He Has A ‘God-Given Right’ To Keep And Bear Arms
According to the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel, outpoken conservative rocker and avid hunter Ted Nugent joined Wisconsin Republicans on Wednesday to promote the recent unveiling of their package of 13 bills that would declare open hunting season on sandhill cranes and allow anyone age 18 or older to carry concealed firearms without a permit. Nugent, who is also the national spokesman for pro-hunting lobbying group Hunter Nation, and lives in neighboring Michigan, stopped by the state Capitol in Madison where he appeared with more than 20 Republican lawmakers. He said Wisconsin should be managing wildlife differently and removing restrictions placed on hunting, fishing and trapping. “My dad took his kids hunting, so he didn’t have to hunt for his kids,” he said. “And no...
BLINK-182’s MARK HOPPUS Is Having His Chemo Port Removed
BLINK-182 singer and bassist Mark Hoppus is undergoing a surgery to remove his chemo port, a device that provided chemotherapy treatments during his battle with cancer. According to Medical News Today, a chemo port is a small, implantable device that attaches to a vein. Doctors typically insert these devices beneath the skin in the chest. They reduce the need for doctors to keep finding a vein to deliver medications, take blood samples, or carry out other procedures. Earlier today, Hoppus took to his social media to share a photo of him at a doctor’s office, and he included the following message: “In the waiting room for the surgery to remove my chemo port!” Three months ago, Hoppus confirmed that he was battling a blood disorder called stage 4-A diffuse large B-cell lymp...

Tommy Lee narrowly avoided serious injury when he fell into his pool after walking too close to the edge.
