Scorpions Postpone Vegas Residency Following Mikkey Dee’s Sepsis Fight

Just weeks after Scorpions drummer Mikkey Dee detailed his near-death experience following a sepsis diagnosis, the band has made the decision to postpone their upcoming Las Vegas residency. Explore Explore See latest videos, charts and news See latest videos, charts and news The residency was originally slated to launch on Feb. 28 and run until March 11 as part of the German band’s 60th anniversary celebration. Performing at PH Live at Planet Hollywood and supported by Buckcherry, the group took to social media late last week to announce their new dates. “We regret to inform you that due to Mikkey Dee’s ongoing recovery from his recent hospitalization, we have made the decision to postpone our Coming Home to Las Vegas Residency to August 2025,” they wrote. “The health and well-being of our brother is of the utmost importance. We wish Mikkey a full and speedy recovery and look forward to rocking with you all again soon!” The new dates will see the Scorpions performing in Las Vegas from Aug. 14 – 23, with all previous tickets honored for the new dates. The group are still scheduled to return to the stage in March, with a Mexico City show set for March 15. Dee first detailed his health issues in early January, revealing he had been hospitalized following a “very serious” blood infection. He later expanded upon the health scare in an interview with Swedish publication Aftonbladet, explaining that what began as a simple sprain quickly evolved into something far worse on the weekend before Christmas. “The ankle swelled up like hell, then it took on a weird shape and appearance and looked like an overcooked ham,” Dee said. “I became very ill so I had to go by ambulance to Sahlgrenska and there they found that I had sky-high values, so I became priority one there. “It was surgery right away, the first of three. They cut away what was dead and infected and badly infested. It was not a good journey I was on… Another day and I’d be playing drums with Lemmy in heaven. I can say that.” Somewhat coincidentally, his near-death experience took place almost nine years to the day since his Motörhead bandmate Lemmy Kilmister passed away, on Dec. 28, 2015. Dee has performed with Scorpions since early 2016, joining the band in the wake of Motörhead’s untimely dissolution in late 2016. To date, Dee has only played on one of the band’s albums, providing percussion for their 19th album, 2022’s Rock Believer. Source link

Michael Stipe Calls for Meta Boycott to Protest Far Right Spread

R.E.M.‘s Michael Stipe has urged his social media followers to join him in a temporary boycott of Meta and its associated products to protest their part in “helping advance the far right in America”. Explore Explore See latest videos, charts and news See latest videos, charts and news Stipe shared his intentions via a post on Instagram on Sunday (Jan. 19), outlining the ‘Lights Out Meta’ campaign which would take place from Jan. 19 – 26, and asked users to log out of all Meta platforms for the week. As Stipe added, this includes the likes of Facebook, Instagram, Threads, Messenger, WhatsApp, Giphy, Meta Quest, and Ray-Ban Meta smart glasses. “I’ll be logged off for the week. Starting tomorrow,” Stipe wrote. “Please consider doing the same so corporations like Meta can imagine there might be consequences for helping advance the far right in America and world wide. Or are we too addicted [that] we can’t log off even for one week?” “Its so gross,” he continued in his post’s caption. “I’m really happy to step away for a week as some form of protest—and then I’ll come back and decide what to do from there.” Stipe’s decision to take part in a boycott of Meta platforms comes just days after CEO Mark Zuckerberg announced the company’s decision to drop their fact-checking program for Facebook and Instagram, noting it apparently made “too many mistakes and too much censorship” and is “too politically biased.” Instead, Facebook and Instagram will rely on a method similar to the “community notes” model found on X. This, however, has been met with widespread criticism from commentators who have expressed fear it could lead to further misinformation on social media and strongly contribute to the further spread of far-right ideologies. Stipe is not the only individual to announce their departure from social media this weekend, with The Cure‘s Robert Smith also telling his followers he is leaving X on Sunday (Jan. 19) in favour of accounts on Bluesky, Instagram, or Mastodon’s Universeodon. “Otherwise I will likely be outside,” added Smith.

Olivia Rodrigo, No Doubt Added to L.A. FireAid Benefit Concert Lineup

Billie Eilish, Lady Gaga, Olivia Rodrigo, No Doubt and more stars are on the lineup for FireAid, the Jan. 30 benefit concert that has expanded from the Intuit Dome to also include the Kia Forum to support victims of the ongoing wildfire crisis that has devastated the Los Angeles area. Katy Perry, Jelly Roll, Tate McRae, Rod Stewart, Sting and Stevie Nicks are also locked in for the charity showcase. Also on the bill are the Red Hot Chili Peppers, Dave Matthews, John Mayer, Earth, Wind & Fire, Green Day, Gracie Abrams, Joni Mitchell, Lil Baby, P!nk and Stephen Stills. Additional artists and special guests for both the Intuit Dome and Kia Forum to be announced shortly, event organizers said on Sunday (Jan. 19). Organizers revealed on Sunday that Olivia Rodrigo, who closed her massively successful Guts World Tour in October 2024, would be joining the previously announced lineup. The day before, No Doubt was added; Gwen Stefani had originally been listed as a solo performer. The band’s upcoming L.A. performance follows their highly anticipated reunion at Coachella in April 2024, which marked their first show together since 2015. Hosted in partnership between Live Nation, AEG and the Azoff family, FireAid will be broadcast by select AMC Theatres, Apple Music and the Apple TV App, Max, iHeartRadio, KTLA+, Netflix/Tudum, Paramount+, Prime Video and the Amazon Music Channel on Twitch, SiriusXM, Spotify, SoundCloud, Veeps, and YouTube. Viewers will be able to contribute to the fundraiser as they watch. The event, sponsored by American Express, Intuit, and UBS, will start at 6 p.m. PT and tickets go on sale Wednesday, Jan. 22, at noon PT via Ticketmaster. Plans for the FireAid concert were first announced Jan. 10. Billed as an “an evening of music and solidarity,” proceeds from the concerts will be distributed with the help of the Annenberg Foundation, and will span creating an organization to rebuild Los Angeles’s infrastructure, supporting displaced families, and preventing future fire disasters. All costs of the event will be covered by the LA Clippers, who play at the Intuit Dome. The news of the lineup comes more than a week after dangerous fires first broke out in Pacific Palisades — after which more blazes emerged and spread rapidly through other parts of the city — burning countless structures and forcing tens of thousands of residents to evacuate their homes for safety reasons. At least 25 people have died so far in the destruction, CNN reports. The concert is just one of many ways the music industry has stepped up to support victims of the fires amid the crisis. ASCAP, Guitar Center Music Foundation, MusiCares, the Recording Academy and more organizations have busied themselves with the creation of emergency funds and resources for those affected, while Beyoncé’s BeyGood Foundation, Sony Music Group, Warner Music Group and more have made sizable donations to the cause. The entertainment industry has been hit particularly hard by the catastrophe, as numerous executives and artists — including stars such as Jhené Aiko, Mandy Moore and Tina Knowles — have reported losing their homes, studios and recording equipment to the fires. Several events in the area have also been canceled, including most Grammy week gatherings (the actual awards are still expected to go on as scheduled Feb. 2), while the Critics Choice Awards have been postponed to Jan. 26.

Bad Bunny’s ‘Debí Tirar Más Fotos’ Hits No. 1 on Billboard 200 Chart

Following its first full week of activity, Bad Bunny’s Debí Tirar Más Fotos climbs 2-1 on the Billboard 200 albums chart (dated Jan. 25), scoring the superstar his fourth leader on the list. Bunny’s album was released on an off-cycle Sunday (Jan. 5), and, thus, it arrived on the chart a week ago with only five days of activity (as the chart’s tracking week runs Friday through Thursday). In the tracking week ending Jan. 16, Debí Tirar Más Fotos earned 203,500 equivalent album units (up 67%) in the U.S., according to Luminate — largely driven by streaming activity. The set was only available as a standard 17-song streaming album, and as a digital download for purchase (widely through all digital retailers, as well as Bunny’s official webstore). Traditional album sales drove just under 8,000 of the album’s activity for the week. Bunny previously led the Billboard 200 with Nadie Sabe Lo Que Va a Pasar Mañana (in 2023), Un Verano Sin Ti (2022) and El Último Tour del Mundo (2020). At No. 2 on the Billboard 200, Taylor Swift’s 2023 album Lover: Live From Paris reenters, with 202,500 equivalent album units earned, all from album sales, following its reissue on vinyl (161,000 sold for the week), as well as its first release as a digital download album. The album was exclusively available only to purchase as either a vinyl LP or download in Swift’s webstore. It marks the 18th top 10-charting effort for Swift and the highest-charting live album in over five years. It’s the top-selling album of the week, and also scores the single-largest sales week for a live album on vinyl since Luminate began tracking sales in 1991. The Billboard 200 chart ranks the most popular albums of the week in the U.S. based on multi-metric consumption as measured in equivalent album units, compiled by Luminate. Units comprise album sales, track equivalent albums (TEA) and streaming equivalent albums (SEA). Each unit equals one album sale, or 10 individual tracks sold from an album, or 3,750 ad-supported or 1,250 paid/subscription on-demand official audio and video streams generated by songs from an album. The new Jan. 25, 2025-dated chart will be posted in full on Billboard‘s website on Jan. 22 (one day later than usual, owed to the Martin Luther King Jr. Day holiday in the U.S. on Jan. 20). For all chart news, follow @billboard and @billboardcharts on both X, formerly known as Twitter, and Instagram. Of Debí Tirar Más Fotos’ 203,500 equivalent album units earned in the week ending Jan. 16, SEA units comprise 195,000 (up 72%, equaling 264.03 million on-demand official streams of the set’s songs; it holds at No. 1 on the Top Streaming Albums chart for a second week), traditional album sales comprise 7,500 (down 3%, falling 6-8 on Top Album Sales) and TEA units comprise 1,000 (up 123%). The 264.03 million streams of the album’s songs mark the largest streaming week for any album since Kendrick Lamar’s GNX arrived with 379.72 million (Dec. 7, 2024 chart), and the largest for any Latin music album since Bunny’s own Un Verano Sin Ti debuted with 356.55 million (May 21, 2022 chart). Like in its opening chart week, Debí Tirar Más Fotos was sale priced for $4.99 in the iTunes Store, as well as in Bunny’s webstore. As Debí Tirar Más Fotos is mostly in the Spanish language, it is the 28th mostly non-English-language album to hit No. 1, and the first of 2025. Four mostly non-English titles topped the list in 2024, and all were Korean-language efforts. Of the 28 mostly non-English-language albums to reach No. 1, 18 are mostly Korean, six mostly (or all) Spanish, one mostly Italian, one entirely French and two mostly a blend of Spanish, Italian and French. Taylor Swift’s Lover: Live From Paris returns to the Billboard 200, reentering at No. 2 with 202,500 equivalent album units earned (up from nothing the week previous). The eight-song set was recorded in 2019 and had a limited release on vinyl in 2023 (exclusively through Swift’s webstore), and spent one week on the Billboard 200 that March, at No. 58. Lover: Live From Paris is the highest-charting live album on the Billboard 200 in over five years, since Lionel Richie’s Hello From Las Vegas debuted and peaked at No. 2 on the Aug. 31, 2019-dated chart. Further, as Lover: Live From Paris marks Swift’s 18th top 10-charting set, she ties with Mariah Carey for the third-most top 10s among women in the history of the Billboard 200. Only Madonna (with 23) and Barbra Streisand (34) have more among women. (Meanwhile, all 20 of Swift’s Billboard 200 chart entries, dating to her 2006 debut, have now peaked in the top 20.) Lover: Live From Paris is Swift’s second top 10-charting live set, following Folklore: The Long Pond Studio Sessions (No. 3 in May 2023). Of Lover: Live From Paris’ 202,500 units earned in the tracking week ending Jan. 16, album sales comprise the entire number (it reenters at No. 1 on Top Album Sales), with vinyl sales accounting for 161,000 (the largest sales week for a live album on vinyl since Luminate began tracking sales in 1991) and digital download sales accounting for the remaining sales. The set has no SEA or TEA units powering its reentry, since the album was not available on streaming services (thus, customers could not stream songs from the album directly), or through digital retailers such as iTunes, so customers couldn’t purchase songs from the album directly. The Lover: Live From Paris album commemorates Swift’s The City of Lover live show on Sept. 9, 2019, at the Olympia in Paris. It was the only concert that Swift held to promote the 2019 album Lover, after her planned 2020 Lover Fest trek was cancelled due to COVID-19. Swift didn’t return to live shows until the career-spanning The Eras Tour kicked off in March 2023. The City of Lover live gig was turned into an ABC-TV special on May 17, 2020 (titled Taylor Swift: City

Lucy Dacus’ ‘Ankles’ Voted This Week’s Favorite New Music

The new track received nearly 66% of the vote in a poll published Friday (Jan. 17) on Billboard, outpacing other notable new releases like Hailey Whitters’ “Casseroles,” Mac Miller’s Balloonerism, Mumford & Sons’ “Rushmere,” and Marshmello and Jonas Brothers’ “Slow Motion.” “Ankles,” a captivating song with lush harmonics on the hook, serves as the lead single from Dacus’ upcoming fourth album, Forever Is a Feeling, due out March 28 through Geffen.

Arrest Made in Beating Death of 24/7 Spyz Frontman

Police in New York City have arrested a man in connection with the beating death of a pioneering rock musician in the Bronx. Sharief Bodden, 29, was charged Friday (Jan. 17) in the killing of Peter Forrest, a 64-year-old Bronx resident, who under the stage name P. Fluid had been a frontman for 24/7 Spyz. The Bronx band was part of a wave of Black-led rock groups, including Living Colour and Fishbone, that emerged in the 1980s, melding elements of heavy metal, funk, R&B, punk and other genres. Explore Explore See latest videos, charts and news See latest videos, charts and news Among the band’s signature songs was was a remake of Kool & the Gang’s “Jungle Boogie.” Forrest quit the band during its 1990 tour with Jane’s Addiction, according to Rolling Stone. The Black Rock Coalition, a New York-based artists’ collective, remembered Forrest as an “essential chapter to an essential band” in the history of the group, which was formed by Vernon Reid of Living Colour and other Black musicians. “Fluid was one of the most creative, charismatic, energetic and powerful frontmen in the business,” the organization wrote on its Facebook page. “His stage presence and dynamic personality were matched only by a rare few.” Police say Forrest was found unconscious and beaten inside the private ambulette bus he drove on Monday. He was pronounced dead at the scene, and the medical examiner’s office determined he had blunt force injuries to his head and torso. Surveillance video obtained by News 12 Bronx showed a man exit the bus around 9 a.m. and get into a separate car with a woman. About an hour later, another worker for the ambulette company arrived and discovered Forrest’s body inside the van. Bodden faces murder, manslaughter, criminal possession of a controlled substance and criminal possession of a weapon charges. No lawyer was listed for him in the state’s online court database. The Bronx’s district attorney’s office didn’t respond to an email seeking comment Saturday (Jan. 18). Source link

Nelly Set to Perform at Donald Trump’s Inauguration Ceremony

Nelly will be performing at president-elect Donald Trump’s inaugural ball on Monday (Jan. 20), an inside source has confirmed to Billboard. The 50-year-old “Hot in Herre” rapper joins a lineup of previously announced inauguration performers that includes Carrie Underwood, Kid Rock, Village People, Billy Ray Cyrus, Jason Aldean, Rascal Flatts, Parker McCollum, Lee Greenwood and Gavin DeGraw. In an interview on Willie D Live, posted to YouTube on Saturday (Jan. 18), Nelly explained the reasons behind his decision to perform. He said in part, “I apologize. I didn’t know that I had to agree with your political choices, and I thought it was the things that you do not the things that you say should be done if you follow what I do. This shouldn’t even be an argument. He’s the president. He won. This isn’t a campaign. This isn’t the RNC. I’m not on the political campaign.” Nelly went on to add, “I’m not doing this for money. I’m doing this because it’s an honor. I respect the office. It don’t matter who is in office, the same way that our men and women, our brothers and sisters who protect this country, have to go to war and have to put their life on the line for whoever’s in office. So if they can put their life on the line for whoever in office, I can damn sure perform for whoever … Nobody’s allowed to change, right? … If my past was once going to prevent me from winning today, I wouldn’t be here. I’m not saying that that he ain’t got some fucked up ways. That’s not what I’m saying at all. That’s why I’m not telling you who to vote for. But what I’m saying is that he’s the president of the United States…” During the interview, Nelly also addressed whether he was invited to participate in the Kamala Harris campaign. The rapper said he wasn’t invited, noting, “I didn’t get none of that 1.5 to try to help somebody get voted.” Nelly isn’t the only rapper to participate in Trump’s inauguration festivities. Earlier this weekend, it was widely reported that Snoop Dogg, Rick Ross and Soulja Boy performed at the president-elect’s Crypto Ball pre-inaugural soiree in Washington, D.C., at the Andrew W. Mellon Auditorium on Friday (Jan. 17). Snoop and his fellow rappers faced backlash for their performance at the event. In the comments section of a video from the show shared on the Shade Room’s Instagram, users criticized the artists for their participation. “This is culturally embarrassing and disrespectful as hell,” one commenter wrote. Another added, “Not a check in the world is worth selling my soul to the Devil…” Former CNN anchor Don Lemon also covered the performance during his livestream, Lemon LIVE at 5, questioning whether Snoop and the artists were “sellouts” or “grifters who only care about a dollar.” Snoop hadn’t publicly addressed the backlash at press time, but he did share an Instagram Story featuring himself and Ross at the event.

Dave Chappelle Roasts Diddy’s Freak-Off Parties in Monologue

Dave Chappelle took aim at Sean “Diddy” Combs‘ alleged freak-off parties during Saturday Night Live‘s first episode of 2025. The veteran comedian, returning to SNL for his fourth time as host on Jan. 18, opened his 17-minute monologue with a mix of humor and sharp commentary. He touched on topics like the Los Angeles wildfires and Donald Trump’s bizarre comments about eating cats and dogs in Ohio, before turning his attention to the embattled hip-hop mogul, who is currently facing multiple charges, including sex trafficking. “I’ve been in a lot of trouble in my day but this guy Puffy, oh buddy, this guy is in an enormous amount of trouble; I don’t think I’ve ever seen anything like this,” Chappelle said, sitting on a stool and smoking a cigarette. Chappelle, who was joined by musical guest GloRilla, continued to riff on Diddy’s alleged behavior, sharing that friends had asked him why he wasn’t involved in Diddy’s so-called “freak-off” parties. “They’d be like, ‘Well how were all these people you know at the freak-off and you were the only one who wasn’t at the freak-off?’ And I thought about it for a minute and I said, ‘Oh my God — I’m ugly,’” he joked. “That was a tough way to find that out. Can you imagine if you were me reading the newspaper and found out everyone in Hollywood had an orgy behind your back? None of y’all called me?” The comedian also touched on the federal raid of Diddy’s homes in Miami and Los Angeles in March 2024, where agents reportedly seized more than 1,000 bottles of baby oil and lubricant as evidence. “I’m 51 and I don’t think I’ve ever finished a bottle of baby oil in my life,” Chappelle remarked. “Clearly, Puff is committed to the lifestyle. A thousand bottles? Thank God they caught him before those fires — can you imagine the mushroom cloud over his house?” he added, referring to the L.A. wildfires. Chappelle shared the stage with SNL‘s musical guest, GloRilla, who made her musical guest debut with a performance of “Yeah Glo!” from her 2024 mixtape Ehhthang Ehhthang. She also performed a medley of “Whatchu Kno About Me” and “Let Her Cook” from her solo debut, Glorious. SNL is currently in its 50th season, with a special anniversary episode scheduled for Feb. 16. This season has featured high-profile hosts like Ariana Grande, Charli XCX, John Mulaney and Chris Rock, while musical guests have included Hozier, Gracie Abrams and Stevie Nicks. SNL returns on Jan. 25 with Timothée Chalamet pulling double duty as both host and musical guest. Chalamet recently portrayed Bob Dylan in A Complete Unknown, the biopic directed by James Mangold, and performed all of his own vocals in the film. Watch Chappelle’s full SNL monologue below.

Fito Páez Performs at Mexico City’s Zócalo: Concert Recap

The euphoric and loving screams of the crowd made Fito Páez blush. The Argentine rocker admitted that the clamor for his free Saturday night (Jan. 18) show in Mexico City’s Zócalo made him feel “modesty.” Visibly moved, he thanked the 80,000 people who attended the Plaza de la Constitución, according to figures from the city government, but also those who followed the concert on social media and public television. Explore Explore See latest videos, charts and news See latest videos, charts and news “How beautiful it is to be here!” said Páez, who appeared on the imposing stage dressed in a fluorescent yellow sweater and a red cape that matched the show’s lighting design. “Please save energy because you will need it,” the musician from Rosario added before starting his first concert of 2025 with his iconic song “El Amor Después del Amor.” The concert at the country’s main public square settled a pending debt with his Mexican fans, after postponing a presentation originally scheduled for September due to a domestic accident that resulted in five fractured ribs and forced him to suspend a series of shows in Mexico and Colombia. It was also the prelude to three shows that the legendary icon of rock en Español will perform this week in Mexican territory, with two dates at the National Auditorium on Tuesday and Wednesday (Jan. 21-22), and one more at the Auditorio Telmex in Guadalajara on Jan. 26 — all part of his Páez 403 tour, which celebrates 40 years of his first album, Del 63, and the 30th anniversary of Circo Beat. The concert of the 61-year-old rocker, with which the Government of Mexico City inaugurated its free musical shows of 2025 at the Zócalo, was even mentioned at the presidential conference of last Friday (Jan. 17). “Fito Páez is Fito Páez!” said Mexican president Claudia Sheinbaum in response to a reporter’s question about the singer-songwriter’s visit. On the Plaza de la Constitución, or Zócalo, a huge Argentine flag was waved from the front rows, with many people of the South American country in attendance to see one of their most respected and beloved musicians, but also curious and old fans, and even new followers who met him through Netflix’s bio-series El Amor Después del Amor. “This is bursting, how beautiful!” Páez, who kept his dialogues short but seemed to enjoy the moment, told the audience. Accompanied by a large band of musicians and his inseparable piano, he pleased the crowd with a repertoire of his most well-known songs, including “Yo Vengo a Ofrecer Mi Corazón,” “Cadáver Exquisito,” “Un Vestido y Un Amor,” “Tumbas de la Gloria” and “Naturaleza Sangre.” He also sang classics such as “Al Lado del Camino,” “Circo Beat,” “Brillante Sobre el Mic,” “Ciudad de Pobres Corazones,” “A Rodar Mi Vida” and “Dar es Dar,” which made the audience vibrate. Previously, the Argentine group El Juguete Rabioso and the Mexican band Rey Pila served as opening bands. “Ciao, my loves. What an unforgettable night! Health, money, and love for everyone. Thank you for this great honor, for having received us all the people of the city,” Páez said as a farewell. “Know that we appreciate this from the bottom of our hearts.” With the energy of the audience still high, the rocker reciprocated the affection performing “Mariposa Technicolor” and “Dale Alegría,” which marked the end of his presentation. Fito Páez’s show adds to the long list of concerts that national and international artists have offered at the capital’s Zócalo, including Paul McCartney, Roger Waters, Pixies, Caifanes, Rosalía, Interpol, Grupo Firme, Shakira, Juan Gabriel and Los Fabulosos Cadillacs, among many others.
