Chris Lane and Lauren Bushnell are among several member of the country music family who are expecting babies this year. This will be the second child for the Lanes — who share son Dutton Walker — but according to People, things are not going as smoothly this time around.”I was recently diagnosed with something called marginal cord insertion,” Busnell Lane reveals on Instagram Stories. “I was incredibly stressed out when my doctor told me that but I’m trying to stay optimistic.”Marginal cord insertion means the umbilical cord has attached to the edge of the placenta, rather than the middle, which could mean in less nutrients…

On a stage adorned by his tour’s signature light bulb-centric decor, Stapleton delivered a set packed with new songs and classics from his catalog.The night included a big surprise — Justin Timberlake was a special guest, and the pair performed a rafter-rattling duet performance of “Tennessee Whiskey” — but before that, Stapleton and his band charged their way through a powerhouse set list with nuance and skill.Of course, Stapleton’s vocals were front…

Dead & Company kicked off their 2022 tour Friday evening with an epic show at L.A.’s Dodger Stadium that was heavy on Dead standards like “Casey Jones,” “China Doll,” “Jack Straw,” and “Scarlet Begonias.” Toward the end of the second set, they broke out a cover of Traffic’s “Dear Mr. Fantasy” that transitioned into an instrumental coda of the Beatles’ “Hey Jude.” Check out the fan-shot video above. “Dear Mr. Fantasy” was a regular part of the Grateful Dead’s live repertoire from 1984 to 1990, but this was the first time it was attempted by Dead & Company. The Grateful…
The Kid Laroi invited some veritable legends of Australian music to join him on stage Sunday, June 12 — and not anyone from AC/DC, not Olivia Newton-John, Keith Urban, Tame Impala’s Kevin Parker, Kylie Minogue, or Sia. Rather. Nope. It was the titans of down-under children’s entertainment, The Wiggles. The Kid Laroi gave the Wiggles probably the most hype introduction they have ever received as he welcomed them to the stage in the middle of his headlining gig at the Rod Laver Arena in Melbourne. Fan-shot video captured Laroi and his hype-man as they made sure the pit was properly…

One of Sunny Singh’s proudest moments as a videographer was the night he got punched in the face with his own camera. Singh — who for the past decade-plus has singlehandedly built up one of the web’s most robust and widely admired archives of live-music footage on his hate5six YouTube channel — was filming a DIY hardcore show in Baltimore when a would-be stage diver swung his arms wildly, accidentally shoving Singh’s camera square into his mouth and breaking two of his teeth in the process. “If you watch the video, I get punched and I fall down sideways and…
Harry Styles has only performed the newest cuts from his third studio album, Harry’s House, a few times before kicking off the latest leg of his extensive “Love on Tour” trek. Still, the musician was up for the challenge of performing “Boyfriends” in just one take on the Japanese YouTube channel The First Take. Styles was joined by Sarah Jones and Elin Sandberg for assistance on the chorus, while Mitch Rowland led on acoustic guitar with Ny Oh on both guitar and backing vocals. The stripped-back acoustic performance sticks to the original arrangement of the track just as it was…
Maluma knows that sex sells. One need only refer to his last full-length effort, 2020’s Papi Juancho, which returned the Colombian singer and bonafide superstar to smutty form following the arena ambitions of the preceding 11:11. His ability to pivot between the after hours sinful pleasure seeking of “Felices Los 4” and the Hollywood-polished rom-com accessibility of this year J. Lo starrer Marry Me shows that he’s a successful smooth operator in the music industry. In the roughly two years since Papi Juancho, the Latin pop landscape has somehow both broadened and narrowed. Dwarfed by the supernova-esque ascent of Bad…

By now, we all know Kelly Clarkson is the queen of covers. During Monday’s Kelly Clarkson Show, the singer channeled Stevie Nicks and Tom Petty with a cover of their collab, “Stop Draggin’ My Heart Around.” Wearing a magenta sweatshirt with a black-and-white skirt, the TV host and singer brought the early Eighties to her talk show during her beloved “Kellyoke” segment. Clarkson is no stranger to Nicks covers on the show either, she covered “Edge of Seventeen” and Fleetwood Mac’s “Dreams” and “The Chain” last year.

The streaming service unveiled the first trailer for the upcoming psychological thriller series Black Bird on Wednesday, starring Liotta as a disappointed father to a troubled Taron Egerton. The trailer opens with the voice of the late actor speaking to his son Jimmy Keene, played by Egerton, now in prison. “I never wanted this for you,” Liotta says as Big Jim. “I wanted a totally different life.
