Donald Trump's response to the sudden death of Lindsey Graham has been predictably chaotic. The president has mostly lauded the late South Carolina senator, while simultaneously using his death to attack Democrats, rant about the SAVE America Act, and push Congress to pass crypto-friendly legislation. “In honor of Lindsey Graham, a great supporter, the US Senate should pass the Clarity Act,” he wrote Monday morning on Truth Social. Trump has also squeezed in a few jabs at his longtime ally, who, like all of his longtime allies, could have been a little more loyal. “He had one bad moment, that…
The hours-long delay at Jay-Z’s Yankee Stadium show Sunday night was caused by hundreds of gatecrashers storming the venue’s entrance points to gain access to the sold-out concert, a representative for the rapper confirmed to Rolling Stone. “On Sunday evening at various fan entrances at Yankee Stadium, hundreds of individuals in large groups — who did not have tickets to tonight’s performance — stormed over peaceful ticketholders, and in some cases, breached security,” said a joint statement from Roc Nation, The New York Yankees and Live Nation. “As a result, gates at all entrances of the Stadium were closed for an…

The 32-year-old soul singer was speaking backstage at Mad Cool 2026, ahead of him opening the main stage on the final day of the Madrid festival. He noted that 'AM' was released around the time that he moved to Liverpool from his hometown of Wheaton, Maryland.

Since the beginning, Jay-Z’s persona has been built around the idea that he was a marked man with his back against the wall who, with his resilience, brain, and swag, escaped a doomed fate. “The shit is eternal, I rock the heavens well/Even if they won’t let me in heaven, I raise hell ’til it’s heaven/Recognize the black cat with the nine lives,” he rapped in his 1995 freestyle with Big L on the Stretch & Bobbito Show, one of the earliest touchstones in the legend of Jigga. If you were a kid in the 2000s who was introduced to…

The group previewed the LP with single “Snakes For Dinner,” which features guest vocals from Queens of the Stone Age frontman Josh Homme. Marrow Deep follows 2021’s Hushed and Grim, and was created by the band’s founding members Brann Dailor, Troy Sanders, and Bill Kelliher.

Pixies have responded to Dave Grohl's recent claim that their seminal debut 'Surfer Rosa' is “the perfect record”. Watch the full interview above. Grohl made the comments during an appearance on BBC Radio 6Music earlier this month, when he was asked to choose the album he considered to be a masterpiece. He then named the alt-rock legends' 1988 debut and explained: “I love that record so much for a number of reasons. One, it was produced by the almighty Steve Albini. And it was maybe the first album to become popular and showcase his incredible engineering technique.” He also praised…
Jay-Z has played nights two and three of his massive three-night run at Yankee Stadium, and brought out huge names including Eminem, Rihanna, and Pharrell as special guests. The two dates came after the rapper kicked off the first show celebrating the 30th anniversary of his 1996 album ‘Reasonable Doubt’ on Friday (July 11). That date was a family affair, with his wife Beyoncé joining him on ‘Can’t Knock the Hustle’ and their eldest daughter, Blue Ivy Carter, taking to the piano for a rendition of ‘Feelin’ It’.

Sinatra was playing over the speakers at Yankee Stadium, but the night wasn't over, not quite. No, as Frank's voice rang out at 2:30 am, in the wee small hours of Monday morning — “I want to beee a part of it…” — Jay-Z still had a few more verses left in him. Seeing Jay live is a rare enough treat in these days when the man who was once rap's most prolific hitmaker is more or less retired, for real this time, emerging only when he wants to say something to the generations of hip-hop fans who still revere…
