The group said that member Megan Skiendiel suffered a sprained ankle and would need to rest while it heals. “We’re so incredibly sorry to share that we are unable to perform at Daisy Chain Fields this Saturday,” the group said in a statement posted to Weverse. “Megan sprained her ankle yesterday during tour rehearsal and after being evaluated by doctors, she has been advised to stay off it and allow it to properly heal so we can be ready for our upcoming…
Who among us hasn’t taken a few minutes to belt an overly sincere version of “I Will Always Love You” in the privacy of our own homes in the 72 hours since Dolly Parton’s death? Based on his latest Instagram post, Vin Diesel has. Unlike most of us, Vin Diesel, a world-famous celebrity with hundreds of millions of social media followers, decided to make his Parton rendition public. The results are almost moving in their self-seriousness: At one point, Diesel’s falsetto cracks when he sings the word “please” in the line “goodbye, please don’t cry.” Diesel, an occasional hobbyist musician,…
Johnny Marr has said that Noel Gallagher is currently “writing songs for fun” – although it isn’t clear whether or not it could be new Oasis material. The singer, guitarist and former Smiths member made the comments during a new interview with Absolute Radio, where he was asked whether he had seen his friend, collaborator and Britpop legend recently. “Yeah, I see him all the time,” he replied. “[He’s the] same as always, brilliant. He’s writing songs for fun, recording songs, enjoying himself, sending me hilarious WhatsApp’s — usually about Manchester United and lots and lots of effects pedals. [That]…
Pennsylvania Governor Josh Shapiro publicly rebuked Health Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. on Thursday, accusing the longtime vaccine skeptic of delivering a “tirade” of conspiracies when the two spoke about an ongoing measles outbreak that has killed two people in the state. On Tuesday, Kennedy took to social media, writing that at a recent press conference about the outbreak, Gov. Shapiro had falsely claimed that there was no fetal tissue in the Measles, Mumps and Rubella (MMR) vaccine. Shapiro is, in fact, correct. The claim that the MMR vaccine contains cells belonging to aborted fetuses is a long standing, repeatedly…
“Jolene” and “9 to 5” were Parton’s most-played songs since she died on Tuesday Dolly Parton left behind an illustrious catalog when she died on Tuesday following a brief battle with cancer.

The track is also one of the country…

“The name Dolly replaced Diana after the 1990 hurricane season and was first used in 1996,” weather service says A tropical storm is developing in the middle of the Atlantic Ocean headed toward the Lesser Antilles archipelago. This weather system must be named “Dolly,” according to the naming conventions set by the authorities that oversee these sorts of things.

Last week, a nightmarish paparazzi photo from the set of Sam Mendes’ forthcoming Beatles biopics appeared online. It was the clearest look yet at Harris Dickinson, Paul Mescal, Joseph Quinn, and Barry Keoghan playing the foursome. It also raised one pressing question: What’s wrong with their hair? A quick scroll through social media revealed I was not alone in my wig-related distress and confusion. On X, one commenter wondered, “What the fuck?” Another protested, “I’m not watching a movie about the Bee Gees.” Many a Walk Hard screenshot made the rounds.Like a Paul Revere for bad wig work, the Beatles’…
At first glance, this add for the September 1978 concert lineup in Cleveland, Ohio, seems like a weird joke or some sort of AI hallucination. There are indeed listenings for very famous, very real tours like Black Sabbath/Van Halen, Thin Lizzy/AC/DC, Yes, and Frank Zappa. But there’s also a Sept. 22 announcement for Neil Young and Crazy Horse with special guest Dolly Parton at the Richfield Coliseum. This double billing seemingly makes no sense since Dolly was near the pinnacle of her fame in 1978, scoring crossover hits like “Two Doors Down” and “Baby I’m Burnin’,” and even appearing on…
Before taking the stage at an over-capacity Cain’s Ballroom in downtown Tulsa on Wednesday night, Charley Crockett asked a favor of Evan Felker: Would the Turnpike Troubadours frontman mind playing “On the Red River” and “Pay No Rent” for him? Given the popularity of both ballads, it’s likely Felker would have played them anyway as he and Crockett shared the stage for nearly two hours in front of more than 1,700 fans. But the common thread in both songs — Felker processing death at different points in his life — weighed heavily on Crockett. He was not just at Cain’s to…
