Kurt Cobain’s Hair, Eddie Van Halen Guitar Among Items in Rock Auction
The items are part of a slate of rock items being offered up by Iconic Auction, spanning Elvis to grunge. The auction closes Saturday (May 15). A portion of proceeds will benefit Crew Nation, a relief fund for live music touring and venue crews who are facing hardship due to the coronavirus pandemic. The item with the highest minimum is a collarless, dark blue jacket custom made for Paul McCartney that starts at $25,000.

Carole King Reacts to Second Rock Hall Induction, Talks Potential Return to the Stage
While the honor is richly deserved, King never planned on becoming a famous singer in her youth. When she initially entered the music business as a Brill Building scribe in the late ’50s, she only saw herself as a songwriter. “I became an artist [in the late ’60s], not reluctantly, but it was just the right circumstances that brought me into being an artist,” King recalls to Billboard. “And really, as a songwriter, you’re always the artist when you’re presenting the song to another artist. Through Lou Adler and with James Taylor’s help, I took ownership of being the artist who sang my own songs.” Fans of King’s warm, wistful style will be thrilled to hear that she is not only planning on attending the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame...
The Many Eras of St. Vincent: Why the Artist Will Always Keep Us Guessing
That sort of on-stage demeanor defined a tightly-packaged period of time in St. Vincent’s career — one that has been defined by and composed of highly-specific eras since signing with Loma Vista. There was the high-priestess-inspired glitchy and electric St. Vincent, a rollout for which the artist sported silvery-white spring-curls (the project won a Grammy for best alternative album), and the tongue-in-cheek Masseducation, her 2017 release full of double meaning and highbrow observations identified by its intense saturation and St. Vincent’s sleek dark bob (the 2018 piano-reworking pulled a 180 with softer-neutral tones). Now, there’s the jazzy, ‘70s-inspired Daddy’s Home (out this Friday, May 14), for which the artist born Annie Clark decided to don a blonde, bobbed wig cut w...
Travis Barker Gives Kourtney Kardashian a Lavish Gift on Mother’s Day
It’s a beautiful Mother’s Day for Kourtney Kardashian, thanks in part to a lovely gift from Travis Barker. The couple both showed off the gift on their Instagram Stories on Sunday (May 9): a massive arrangement of flowers that rivals the other grand floral gesture the Blink-182 rocker made on Kardashian’s birthday. Three very large floral installments can be seen in the new video clips, on which the mom of three tagged Barker’s name with a heart and a wide-eyed emoji.

UEFA ‘seriously considering’ switching Champions League final to Wembley
Europe’s governing body, UEFA, are reported to be ‘seriously considering’ switching the upcoming Champions League final to Wembley, the clash set to be an all-English affair. At present, the final is set to be played in Turkey’s capital Istanbul, at Ataturk Olympic Stadium, the arena having already missed out on hosting the showpiece last season due to the Covid-19 pandemic, the last phase of the knockout stage having been moved to Portugal. However, despite missing out on hosting last year’s final, they could well be set to suffer the same fate this term, amid calls to move the final to England, after both Manchester City and Chelsea progressed from their semi-final encounters with Paris Saint-Germain and Real Madrid, respectively. With an all-English final on the way, it seemingly makes ...
