Dave Grohl to Co-Host ‘The Tonight Show’ Next Week
The Foo Fighters released their 10th studio album, Medicine at Midnight, in February, which topped all three of Billboard‘s rock albums charts: Top Rock Albums, Alternative Albums and Hard Rock Albums. The Foos plan to deliver that medicine straight to their fans during headlining gigs at Lollapalooza in July and BottleRock Napa Valley in September. Grohl captures the thrill of being on the road in the touring documentary he directed What Drives Us, which serves as his “love letter to every musician that has ever jumped in an old van with their friends and left it all behind for the simple reward of playing music.” The 52-year-old musician and his mother, Virginia, have also launched the six-part Paramount+ series Fro...
Twenty One Pilots Climb to New Heights With Eye-Popping ‘Scaled and Icy’ Livestream: Recap
The event opened on the set of the fictional Good Day Dema talk show, whose name was a familiar reference to the dystopian cabal at the center of the twisty storyline on 21P’s previous album, 2018’s Trench. Joseph took a seat on the retro ’70s couch for an interview with the two vapid hosts in cheesy polyester getups, who cracked corny jokes as the singer looked increasingly uneasy. He eventually tuned them out and walked to an adjacent, colorful set for a blitz through the new album’s second single, the propulsive “Choker.” Arrayed on a giant, pastel-colored rainbow bisected by a giant model of the album’s mascot, the lovable, fire-breathing Trash the Dragon, the pink-haired vocalist weaved his way around the portions of the dragon sticking o...
Warren Ellis Saved a Piece of Nina Simone’s Gum for 20 Years and Wrote a Book About It
<span class="localtime" data-ltformat="F j, Y | g:ia" data-lttime="2021-05-20T15:56:46+00:00“>May 20, 2021 | 11:56am ET Once upon a time, a musician found inspiration in a piece of gum chewed by none other than Nina Simone. That’s the true-life story behind Warren Ellis’ upcoming book, the aptly-titled Nina Simone’s Gum. In the tome, the Australian multi-instrumentalist and film composer — who plays with acts like Dirty Three and Nick Cave and the Bad Seeds — recalls finding the piece of used gum on Simone’s piano following her set at the 1999 Meltdown Festival in London’s Royal Festival Hall. The event happened to be curated by Ellis’ longtime collaborator, Cave. On a whim, Ellis decided to pick up the gum, saving it in a Tower Records bag for nearly 2...

Marilyn Manson Accused of Sexual Assault, Harassment by Former Assistant: Reports
Soon after they met, Manson overstepped boundaries, the document explains. Despite this, when the rocker reportedly implied he could further Walter’s creative career and offered twice what she was earning as an office coordinator for a production company, Walters accepted his invitation for work. According to published reports, Walters was hired as Manson’s PA in August 2010, and was subjected to a toxic working environment, in which she faced aggression, violence, threats and more before her departure the following year, which she details in the suit. Walters, now 37, also claims Manson made her work for 48 hours straight, and he invited his friends to sexually assault her. In one alleged incident, Manson pushed Walters onto the lap of an actor during an awards show in September 201...
Duran Duran Set 15th Album ‘Future Past,’ Drop ‘Invisible’: Stream It Now
Frontman Simon Le Bon stopped by The Zoe Ball Breakfast Show on BBC Radio 2 this morning to introduce the song for its world premiere. “It kind of started with the beat,” he explains. “It’s got a very, very assertive drum track, it’s really all about the rhythm. I just had to fit in a melody around that, really.” The song’s arc started out as “a slightly disfunctional relationship,” he notes, where the person who never gets a word in figures… “maybe I’m just invisible.” Le Bon highlines one lyric from it, “And the voiceless crowd ain’t backing down.” In the light of COVID-19 and “everything that’s been going on in the last year and a half really, with all the different public movements and all the noise people have been making,” he continues, “it suddenly sounded relevant in a much b...

Upon finishing up the final draft, Zauner also dove into Jubilee – her third studio album as Japanese Breakfast, out on June 4. In stark contrast to Crying in H Mart, Zauner takes on joy in her latest collection of songs, and has previewed her upcoming album with two advance song releases: “Posing in Bondage” and “Be Sweet,” the latter of which recently became her first song to crack a Billboard airplay chart, reaching No. 34 on Alternative Airplay. “I’ve said everything I needed to say about loss and grief, and I was excited to take on a new part of the human experience,” she adds. In a candid conversation with Billboard, Zauner talks about her culinary memoir, the value of cultivating a comm...
Ministry Guitarist Sin Quirin Exits Band in Wake of Allegations of Underage Sexual Relationships Years Ago
In a report published in January 2020, two women told Spin magazine that Quirin approached them when they were teens attending performances of Society 1, the band he was in at the time. One woman, Kelly Longoria, alleged she was 15 and he was 33 when they first met and that he began traveling to visit her when she were still in high school. Longoria also claimed Quirin had sex with her numerous times while she was a minor. Longoria included these details in a sworn statement she gave to the San Antonio Police Department in 2017, 15 years after she first met Quirin. (Spin reported that no criminal charges had ever been filed against Quirin based on Longoria’s allegation, citing Longoria saying she had been told by an SAPD officer that a local district attorney had rejected the ca...

Paramore Raise $45K For Nashville’s Exit/In Club With ‘Tiny Hot Topic B’ Shirt
The goal, owners said, is to keep the venue independent. “It must remain independent to best serve Nashville’s creative working class,” they added. After launching a GoFundMe to keep the doors to the 50-year-old club open — blowing past the $200,000 goal by nearly $70,000 — the Cobbs said that if the purchase is not successful, the funds will be donated to Music Venues Alliance Nashville to #Keep615Live and the National Independent Venue Association. Hotel developer AJ Capital has been facing off with Nashville politicians and musicians who have been protesting the company’s acquisition of the building housing the Exit/In. In their note, the Cobbs said that AJ Capital has publicly stated their intent to keep the venue open, “but have no track recor...
