Big Sean and Kanye West reunited after years of feuding during West’s Chicago concert. Find all the details below. Big Sean made a surprise appearance during West‘s homecoming concert at Soldier Field in Chicago last night (September 4) to perform his hit ‘I Don’t Fuck With You’.

That same year, West said signing Sean to…

«Buongiorno, scusate per il messaggio cumulativo, ma siete stati in troppi a farmi gli auguri e non riuscirei a ringraziarvi uno per uno». Chissà se, sulle sue pagine social, Freddie Mercury avrebbe scritto qualcosa del genere nel giorno del suo ottantesimo compleanno. Chissà se avrebbe usato i social, soprattutto, vista la nota ritrosia ad esporsi pubblicamente. È forse retorico cercare di immaginare come sarebbe oggi il frontman dei Queen, ma è pur vero che chiunque nella vita si è trovato nella condizione di chiedersi come si sarebbe comportato uno dei suoi idoli scomparsi troppo presto. I Queen sarebbero ancora insieme?…
Lea Salonga celebrated her star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame on Friday, marking a joyful moment in her storied career and becoming the first Filipina to be recognized with the honor.

She later took on the tragic role of Éponine, and later Fantine, in the Broadway production of Les Misérables. Her powerful vocals would become synonymous with the unforgettable magic-carpet ride in 1992’s Aladdin when she performed “A Whole…
If there’s a downside to putting your Grammy-winning band on hiatus for 11 years only to drop two critically acclaimed solo albums and win a Grammy on your own, it might be that, when you finally announce your band’s long-awaited comeback, people could be tempted to ask a blunt question: Why?Even if you consider 2012’s Boys & Girls a Perfect 10, even if you programmed your daily alarm clock to play the opening vibraphone chimes from 2015’s Sound & Color (just me?), you could accept that Alabama Shakes was something of a chrysalis for Brittany Howard, its undisputed power engine.…
Olivia Rodrigo e Sarah McLachlan parlano dei loro festival tutti al femminile, oggi il Daisy Chain e ieri il Lilith Fair, di sessismo, dei concerti che ti fanno sentire parte di una comunità attiva, del bello di fare del beneSono anni che la gente fa a Sarah McLachlan la stessa identica domanda: quando ci sarà un altro Lilith Fair? Il festival itinerante estivo tutto femminile che si è svolto tra il 1997 al 1999 è nato in risposta al sessismo dilagante nell’industria musicale e ai promoter che dicevano a McLachlan che non era possibile mettere più donne nella stessa giornata…
Artists including Jason Isbell have filed a lawsuit against AI platform Suno, alleging that the software allows users to copy artists’ identity and musical style without consent.

“Always [when] we’ve been on stage, he’s been running around, and he’d run up to Geezer [Butler] and pull a face jokingly and come over to me and pull a face or the drummer or whatever. We always had a little laugh on stage and enjoy when he’d run about.” Iommi continued: “But at ‘Back To The Beginning’, of course, he’s in a throne, and I couldn’t see him, which felt very unusual. I stood back by Bill [Ward]. But it was a great moment, and I’m really glad we could get the opportunity to do it, because I mean,…
