Brandon Flowers has revealed that he’s considering hanging up his microphone. In a new interview with the Times, the Killers frontman compared his life on the road with that of his father. “My dad goes to yard sales, where he buys frames to take home and paint,” Flowers said. “He’s never had any money in his life and he’s happier than I am.” He continued, “I’m really going through it right now: How much longer do I want to do this, what does it mean, why am I doing it anyway? Whenever I finish a tour, without fail I get…

Ariana Grande has spoken out about her decision to take a break from the public eye, telling fans that “multiple things can be true at the same time”. The pop star’s representatives confirmed over the weekend that she would be “taking a step back from visibility” following her current ‘Eternal Sunshine’ tour. She has also withdrawn from the upcoming West End revival of Sunday In The Park With George, in which she had been due to appear alongside her Wicked co-star Jonathan Bailey. It would have been her West End debut at London’s Barbican Centre, starting next summer. During the first of…

The rapper is celebrating the 10th anniversary of his seminal mixtape Coloring Book Chance the Rapper appeared on The Tonight Show to perform his classic song “Same Drugs” and to chat with Jimmy Fallon about the anniversary of his 2015 mixtape Coloring Book. The rapper took the late-night show stage alongside a guitarist to showcase the reflective track, one of the songs off Coloring Book. The lyrics famously pay homage to Peter Pan as the rapper considers growing old: “When did you change? Wendy, you’ve aged/ I thought you’d never grow up/ I thought you’d never/ Window closed, Wendy got…

Dan Friel and BJ Warshaw of Parts & Labor met while working at the Knitting Factory, an iconic Manhattan venue, just before the turn of the century. It was an auspicious introduction for two musicians who would launch a noise-rock institution that helped lead he city’s underground resurgence in the early 2000s. While more overtly political and less commercially successful than their contemporaries, Parts & Labor stood alongside bands like the Yeah Yeah Yeahs and LCD Soundsystem while owing more to free jazz and avant-garde. Over the course of five albums, they sharpened their squall into anthemic noise-punk before calling…

As rumors and public opinion swirled following the announcement that Ariana Grande would be taking a “step back” after the end of her current tour, the singer took to the stage on Monday night to speak to her fans directly. During her Eternal Sunshine stop at the United Center in Chicago, Grande paused the performance to “clear the air about a few things.” “Sometimes when a story comes out that’s not directly from me, things can get a little blown out of proportion, so I wanted to speak to my fans directly tonight because I love you so much,” Grande said…

The rapper has been jokingly urging fans to run up streams of her new single, ‘Ah Ha,’ so she can ‘buy more Chipotle!’ If you purchase an independently reviewed product or service through a link on our website, Rolling Stone may receive an affiliate commission. Cardi B has dined at some of the fanciest restaurants around the world, but when it comes to her go-tos at home, it turns out the rapper is just like us. Cardi took to Twitter Monday night to reveal her favorite Chipotle order, after a fan asked the rapper what she likes in her burrito…

Tracy Geneviève Amare is too young to have direct knowledge of MTV’s heyday. The Los Angeles-based producer, rapper, and singer was born in 2004, by which point the network’s sidelining of music was very much underway. Laguna Beach, The Ashlee Simpson Show, and Pimp My Ride all debuted that year, joining a programming slate already stuffed with reality fare. By the time Amare was 6, TRL had been cancelled, and the network had dropped “Music Television” from its logo. In light of those facts, the title of Amare’s new EP, Q: From Where Do Our Primal Instincts Originate? A: MTV!,…

Eden Aurelius is a relatively recent arrival to New York’s underground club scene, but her slim discography so far shows remarkable focus. With the exception of an early, techno-leaning compilation track that pushed to the center of the dancefloor, virtually everything she has put out so far has used the tools of dance music to carve out a space of sanctuary, pairing hypnotic dub rhythms with billowing ambient chords.Aurelius’ reference points are familiar: artists like Deepchord, Vladislav Delay, Topdown Dialectic, and fellow travelers Purelink, who turned up as remixers on the New York-based producer’s debut EP, Plateau, in 2024. (She…

In some ways, XXXXX seems like a survey of what Arca might have been listening to lately. She recently interviewed 2hollis and expressed admiration for his music, and you can hear his influence (and maybe Skrillex’s) in the muscled EDM-rap of “Fxck.” I also hear the glory days of wonky, post-dubstep, and deconstructed club all over: “Raver” recalls the word-blotting broken beat of Jamie Vex’d, “Grip” channels the hi-tech EDM sound design of EPROM, and the hyperactive “Taneando”—which pleads, “I know you want me to come,” in Spanish over and over until it sounds like a threat—is something like a…

The series is set to release soon on BLK PRIME A new documentary focusing on Joe Jackson — the domineering father and manager of the hit-making Jackson 5 and the man who helped launch the massively successful careers of his son Michael and his daughter Janet — is in the works. The new project, which is being developed with the help of Jackson’s son Marlon, is set to debut on BLK Prime. An exact release date has not been announced. According to an announcement by the Jacksons on Instagram, “The Manager. The Mythology. The Legend. is an original series” that will offer “a…
