Dolly Parton “worked up until the day she died” to create projects such as an avatar show and a Broadway musical, her team say. Find all the information below. The death of the music icon and philanthropist was announced on Tuesday (August 25). In the update, the singer’s team shared that the 80-year-old died following “a brief battle with cancer”. The ‘Jolene’ singer had spoken publicly about her health in recent months, and in an update published last week, opened up about dealing with issues she had neglected while caring for her husband of 58 years, Carl Dean, before his death last year.…
Phoebe Bridgers performed an intimate cover of Nirvana‘s 1991 classic “Lithium” for the BBC Radio 1 Live Lounge. The singer recorded her appearance on the show earlier this month, only hours before being hospitalized for appendicitis. Appearing with a guitarist, Bridgers also showcased her own song “Bobby,” which comes off her new album Lost Weekend. Earlier this month, Bridgers was forced to reschedule several U.K. shows after being diagnosed with appendicitis. “I got appendicitis for my birthday,” she wrote on Instagram. “Everything in the U.K. this week will have to move but I’ll make it up to you!” Although Bridgers…
The singer-songwriter played Parton’s classic during the intro to “Gravity” During his SiriusXM concert at Stephen Talkhouse in Amagansett, New York, John Mayer honored Dolly Parton by performing a tender rendition of her 1974 hit, “I Will Always Love You.” The singer-songwriter and guitarist delivered the electric cover during the intro to his 2006 single “Gravity,” before diving into his closer for the night. Elsewhere in New York, Harry Styles was also among the musicians paying tribute to Parton on Wednesday. During Style’s opening night of his 30-show run at New York’s Madison Square Garden, the singer paused his concert…
Dolly Parton sapeva di essere amata. Del resto, ha lavorato affinché accadesse. Aveva deciso quando era solo una ragazzina che cresciuta nella povertà assoluta tra le montagne del Tennessee che da grande sarebbe diventata una star, una di quelle che tutti conoscono. Portava sulle spalle l’intera storia della musica americana, come un cappotto dai mille colori. È così che è diventata la cantante americana amata da tutti, una superstar ricoperta di paillettes che era anche un’autrice geniale e di un’originalità fuori dal comune. «Raccontavo le mie storie, esprimevo quel che sentivo», diceva nel 1975. «Sono una persona piuttosto audace».Ecco perché…
Frances Chang writes with the self-awareness of a kid who spends way too much time on her phone, but she sings like a much older and wearier soul. The Brooklyn artist’s albums and songs have a tossed-off, first-thought-best-thought quality; titles like “Rate My Aura,” “i quit cigs,” and support your local nihilist could all easily pass as Hinge prompts. Look deeper, though, and you’ll find an artist desperately searching for a sense of self. Previous albums, like 2024’s Psychedelic Anxiety, wove themselves around knotted guitar lines and chintzy electronic twiddles that mirrored Chang’s passing thoughts, her whispery voice guiding us…
The singer briefly paused his sold-out show to pay tribute to the country superstar During opening night of his 30-show run at New York’s Madison Square Garden on Wednesday, Harry Styles took a moment to honor country icon Dolly Parton following her death on Tuesday. “I just wanna give a proper thank you to all the musicians who have inspired me over the years. Dolly, we love you. Thank you so much,” Styles said to the sold-out crowd and raised his clasped hands to the sky. As he played her recording of “I Will Always Love You,” the arena filled…
After locating the beat, Intro to Dance classes always start with moving your feet—in any direction, at any pace, patterns be damned. If you’re feeling apprehensive and can’t yet see where your shoes are guiding you, may I recommend one of the most kinetic songs of 2024: “Anxiety” by the Chicago trio Plum? Every move works when set to their new wave-styled post-punk, from fluid poses to herky-jerky flailing. With a title like Bodies in Motion, Plum’s second full-length is a slice of advice about the highs of dancing, but no words are needed when the music alone makes the…
A few things are always basically top of mind for me, among them: The Madeleine McCann mystery; what caused the rift between Taylor Swift and Karlie Kloss; the fact that maggots are living under my floorboards; and one specific phrase from Wild Pink’s 2024 album Dulling the Horns. On “Eating the Egg Whole,” John Ross and co. are going full krauty heartland rock, as they are wont to do, and then, right there in the second verse, he just starts riffing about 2003 in America: “The freedom fries were served proudly/The year he finally retirеd from the court/Soon after that,…
The songs on Elanor Moss’ debut album magnify quiet moments and intimate memories: chirping bird song, a sigh, the image of clothes washed in a hotel sink. In Moss’ care, these vignettes take on outsized meaning. A note elongates until it blossoms into a revelation; subtle shifts in perspective open up new ways of relating.Moss made the record after scrapping an entirely different album. She found that one “a bit rollocking,” so she rented a cabin near her parents’ home in the Scottish highlands and started over. In this solitude, The Knife, The Needle came together—a collection of hushed psych-folk…
Johnny Marr has reacted to Prime Minister Andy Burnham covering The Smiths on guitar during a visit to Kyiv. The PM, who previously served as Mayor of Greater Manchester, jammed ‘Rusholme Ruffians’ from the band’s 1985 album ‘Meat Is Murder’ alongside a Ukrainian soldier. “I’m out of practice, a little bit,” he said as he strummed the instrument. He also explained: “It’s a song by a Manchester band called The Smiths.” Burnham’s first visit to Ukraine as PM saw him go to the country’s military and artistic unit, who perform on the front lines, in hospitals and at rehabilitation centres.…
