The lucky few who went to London’s Roundhouse on Sept. 5, 1976, had no clue they were about to be a part of history. It wasn’t because pub-rock band the Kursaal Flyers — riding the wave of their sole hit, “Little Does She Know” — were headlining. And it wasn’t because rockabilly throwback group Crazy Cavan ‘n’ the Rhythm Rockers were second on the bill, or because Andy “The Livin’ Jukebox” Dunkley was spinning records between groups. The real importance was due to the third band on the bill, who were so new and unknown that they weren’t even mentioned…
Duane “Keffe D” Davis reiterated that he’s innocent in his first interview since he was convicted earlier this week for his role in the murder of Tupac Shakur. Speaking to the Hollywood Reporter days after he was found guilty of first-degree murder in the 1996 killing of the rapper, Davis accused witnesses of lying on the stand and that an autobiography he claimed he didn’t write was used against him in court. “I never wrote that book. The author told me to tell them 10 stories about what happened in your life and get them some pictures,” Davis said of…
“This is a tune I wrote a couple of weeks ago,” Lindsey Buckingham told the crowd midway through Fleetwood Mac’s concert in Winston-Salem, North Carolina, on Nov. 20, 1975. “It’s going to be on our new album.” He was talking about “Go Your Own Way,” one of the first songs written for Rumours, which wouldn’t come out until February 1977. The song is still in its embryonic state, and the entire second verse — which has enraged Stevie Nicks for the last 50 years — apparently hadn’t been written yet. The heartbreak from his recent breakup with Nicks is still…

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’. The moment came after years of public tension between the two. They were once close, with West discovering Sean back in 2007 and signing him to his record label, G.O.O.D Music, but the two publicly fell out in 2021, when Sean claimed West owed him $6million. That same year, West said signing Sean to…
Jay-Z‘s first headline solo show in the UK in more than a decade saw him bring out Lauryn Hill, Wyclef Jean and Giggs. Watch the footage below. The rapper has brought his massive ‘JAŸ-Z 30’ world tour – which is marking the 30th anniversary of his debut album ‘Reasonable Doubt’ – to the UK this week, headlining Tottenham Hotspur Stadium yesterday (September 4) with an additional show tonight.

«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. The Broadway legend famously won a Tony Award at 20 in 1991 for her heartfelt portrayal of Kim in Miss Saigon, becoming the first Asian actress to be recognized by 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…
