Machine Gun Kelly Had a Megan Fox Poster Hanging in His High School Bedroom
MGK says he lived out his teenage “dream” at the 2021 Billboard Music Awards in May, but not just because he took home awards for top rock artist and top rock album with his Billboard 200-topping LP Tickets to My Downfall. It’s because of who he had on his arm. “You know what the dream was? It was exactly what happened to me [this weekend], which was go to an awards show, shut down the carpet, go onstage, accept an award,” he told Lowery shortly after the awards show. “It has nothing to do with the award. I saw a British GQ article that came out this morning that basically was like, ‘Despite the fact that BTS was there, The Weeknd was there, Drake was there, the talk of the show was [us].’ That overzealous, overconfident 15-year-old...

JASON BONHAM’S LED ZEPPELIN EVENING Announces ‘MMXXI’ Fall 2021 U.S. Tour
JASON BONHAM’S LED ZEPPELIN EVENING has announced “MMXXI” tour, set to take place this fall in North America. The 29-date trek will kick off on October 15 in Stateline, Nevada and will conclude on November 26 in Hollywood, Florida. Bonham spent nearly a decade touring as JASON BONHAM’S LED ZEPPELIN EXPERIENCE before changing the band’s name to JASON BONHAM’S LED ZEPPELIN EVENING. Bonham later explained that the switch was prompted by a request from the LED ZEPPELIN camp, who wanted to use the “Experience” name for a project involving the archive of ZEP live recordings. JASON BONHAM’S LED ZEPPELIN EXPERIENCE was formed in 2009 to pay tribute to Bonham‘s father, legendary LED ZEPPELIN drummer John Bonham, who died in 1980 at the age...

BLINK-182’s MARK HOPPUS Reveals The Type Of Cancer He Is Battling
BLINK-182 singer and bassist Mark Hoppus, who went public with his cancer diagnosis last month, has confirmed that he is battling a blood disorder called stage 4-A diffuse large B-cell lymphoma, the same type of cancer his mother previously beat. Hoppus discussed his health issues during a recent Twitch question-and-answer session. Saying that he will soon undergo a PET scan which will shed light on whether his chemotherapy treatments have been working, he added: “Ideally I go in tomorrow and they say, ‘Congratulations! Your chemotherapy has worked and you are all done and you’ll never have to think about this cancer again for the rest of your life. Even if the cancer’s totally gone from my whole body, they give me three more rounds of chemo just to make sure.”...
New Tom Petty Video Features the Venus de Milo in Joshua Tree
In 1996, Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers provided the soundtrack for the John Mahoney and Jennifer Anniston-starring rom-com, She’s the One. But in Saturday Night Fever-fashion, the film was instantly dwarfed by the songs — many of which came from the prolific period when Petty was recording his solo folk-rock masterpiece, Wildflowers, with producer Rick Rubin. Petty intended to make Wildflowers a double album, but the label pushed back, sending many of those would-be wildflowers into the vault or onto his next project — She’s the One. “If part of the pitch was double albums are twice as expensive for the fans to buy, I could see Tom not wanting his music priced beyond his audience,” Rubin told Rolling Stone in 2020 when Wildflowers was finally re-released as a deluxe edition. “He always k...
21 Savage and Metro Boomin Make It Big on the Stock Market in ‘Brand New Draco’ Music Video
21 Savage and Metro Boomin have dropped the official music video for “Brand New Draco.” The track comes off the duo’s 2020 collaborative album Savage Mode II, a follow-up to the 2016 homonymous extended play. Directed by Leff of Silver Spoon Film, the visual sees Boomin punch numbers on a calculator as Savage raps from behind a desk in a Wolf of Wall Street-esque montage. While the video is set amidst a stock market crash, the duo claims to have paved the easy path to creating wealth: in the middle of the song, a mock infomercial for a stock called $DRCO rolls, in which DJ Khaled, Shaq and Bow Wow make appearances, raving about how investing changed their lives. This fall, 21 Savage will hit the road on J. Cole’s The Off-Season Tour, along with special guest Morray, to perform in ...
