Jackie Farry, a music industry veteran who served as tour manager for Elliot Smith and the Lemonheads in the 1990s and who was Frances Bean Cobain’s first nanny, died on Sunday (Jan. 12) of complications from lung disease. Farry’s death was confirmed to The Hollywood Reporter by longtime friend manager/producer Janet Billig Rich. Explore Explore See latest videos, charts and news See latest videos, charts and news Farry’s career began in the 1980s when she served as a receptionist at Homestead Records, a beloved New York indie label whose roster included such beloved acts as Antietam, Babe the Blue Ox, The Meatmen, Tsunami, Volcano Suns and others. She moved on to gigs at Atlantic Records (1988-1989), Epic Records (1991-1992), where she worked in radio promotion, often with hard rock and metal bands. She pivoted to working with Nirvana during the band’s heyday, serving as nanny to singer Kurt Cobain and wife Courtney Love’s daughter, Frances Bean, until Cobain’s death in 1994. After working with a number of metal bands early in her career, she also hosted the short-lived MTV series Superock, which launched in 1995 as a replacement for the former video music channel’s beloved Headbangers Ball series. Later in the decade, Farry was a tour manager for a number of indie rock acts, including Stereolab, the Lemonheads, Jon Spencer Blues Explosion, Quasi and others. According to THR, Farry was born Jacquelyn Beth Farry in New York and raised in the controversial Synanon community, which was initially established as drug rehab program before growing into a cult in which leaders allegedly controlled members using confrontational “attack therapy.” “Jackie carried with her an incredible trove of memories and songs from those formative years,” Billig told THR. “Jackie’s love for music was matched only by her sharp wit, humor, and magnetic personality. She was a beacon for friends and strangers alike, drawing people in with her infectious energy. Jackie Farry’s legacy is one of love, laughter and an indomitable spirit. She will be deeply missed — her unforgettable stories, her humor and her impact on those who knew her will live on forever.” Farry was diagnosed with cancer in 2003, with her many friends standing by her and organizing a series of “f–k cancer” benefit shows featuring bands including the Breeders, TV on the Radio and Guided By Voices. In honor of her longtime support of pit bull rescue, donations in Farry’s honor can be made to her charity of choice, LovePaws. Source link

As the devastating California wildfires continue to rage across the Los Angeles area, Primus singer/bassist Les Claypool took to Instagram over the weekend to reveal that the band’s guitarist, Ler LaLonde, had lost his home. “All that is left of our good friend Larry ‘Ler’ LaLonde’s home,” Claypool wrote of the band’s longtime guitarist alongside a photo of a house reduced to ash, with just the remnants of a brick fireplace still standing. “When Mother Nature gets up on her hind legs, it can be brutal,” Claypool added. “My heart hurts for him and his family.” The post included supportive responses from a number of fellow musicians, including former Police drummer Stewart Copeland, who wrote, “Dang. Ler did not deserve this,” with singer Carina Round adding, “Oh my. So much love to them.” LaLonde’s wife, Shane Stirling LaLonde, posted a series of pictures and videos of the fires that ravaged the family’s home in the Pacific Palisades neighborhood, which has been almost completely destroyed by the Palisades fire, which is still raging. “Our home is gone, and so are the homes of every one of our friends and neighbors. I am still in shock, not quite sure what just happened. The first photo is the video confirmation we received that our home was lost. Ours is the second property with the tree still with oranges in the front yard but nothing else,” she wrote alongside a video of the destruction. “We lost everything. It doesn’t sink in easily that you have nothing…. It’s still sinking in minute by minute. I know we are safe and yes I am grateful, but I can’t even begin to be close to grace yet as I can’t even comprehend this yet,” she added. “Not just the things, but our town, our community. We all no longer have a home, a neighborhood, a school,a community. I am gutted to the core.” LaLonde is among the thousands of Angelenos who’ve lost everything during weeklong spate of out-of-control fires that have been fueled by strong Santa Ana winds, burning more than 38,000 acres so far (roughly 60 square miles) and destroying more than 12,000 homes and buildings. In addition, 24 people are confirmed dead and nearly 200,00 have been displaced to date, according to CNN. A number of musicians and entertainment industry folks have spoken about the loss of their homes — including Mandy Moore, Paris Hilton, Beyoncé’s mother, Tina Knowles, Jhené Aiko, Paris Hilton, songwriter Diane Warren, Iron Maiden guitarist Adrian Smith, The Hills stars Spencer Pratt and Heidi Montag and many more — while others are stepping up to offer help. On Monday (Jan. 13), Beyonce’s BeyGOOD foundation announced a $2.5 million donation to the L.A. Fire Relief Fund to assist families in need, while Regional Mexican stars Fuerza Regida are renting out hotel rooms for displaced families. Hilton — whose Malibu home burned down live on TV — launched an emergency fund through her 11:11 Media Impact nonprofit to support families who’ve lost homes. In addition, MusiCares and the Recording Academy launched the Los Angeles Fire Relief Effort to support music professionals impacted by the crisis, with a combined pledge of $1 million to launch the effort. Anyone who has worked in the music industry for more than five years may qualify for immediate assistance, including up to $1,500 in financial aid and $500 in food vouchers.

There’s plenty of prospects to get excited about this year. Lola Young performs at Wildlands Festival 2025 on January 4, 2025 in Perth, Australia. Matt Jelonek/Getty Images Ding! The chaos of year-end list season is finally over, fresh albums are being unveiled to the world once more and festival line-ups are gradually being announced. The music industry has opened up for 2025, and with that comes a wealth of critics’ picks as to the new names primed for a huge year. There’s plenty to look forward to in British and Irish music over the next 12 months, particularly as we gear up towards festival season – a prime opportunity for emerging artists to demonstrate their talents to potential new fans, bookers and label scouts. For many of us, it’s in a live setting where it becomes clear just how deeply new music can thrill and surprise at every turn. Crucially, last year, only two British artists – both already established names – reached the summit on the U.K.’s Official Singles Chart: Charli XCX (“Guess” featuring Billie Eilish) and Chase & Status (on the Stormzy team-up “Backbone”). Ireland’s Hozier, meanwhile, hit the top spot for two weeks with “Too Sweet.” A mere few days into 2025, however, and we’re already seeing major wins on the same chart, most of which can be attributed to releases from rising talent. As of this week (Jan. 8), six months on from its initial release, Lola Young’s bold, vulnerable pop anthem “Messy” is already at No. 3; viral hits from the likes of Ceechynaa (“Peggy”) and Myles Smith (“Nice To Meet Ya”) can be found inching closer to the top 10 by the day. It’s a promising start to the new year, one that’s bound to see many more acts develop sounds that could define major trends of the future. Here are 15 new musicians from the U.K. and Ireland to look out for in 2025, presented in alphabetical order. Alessi Rose From: Derby, EnglandLabel: AWALLook out for: Even upon arrival, Alessi Rose seemed bound for a glittering future. Last year, the 22-year-old broke out of the gates with a self-starting attitude: in her earliest days as an artist, she was hosting intimate studio hangouts, asking her closest followers for their thoughts on the new music she was working on. Largely informed by Gen Z internet culture in sound and aesthetic, her work and its scrim of pop melodrama allows her to explore how relationships and ideas of identity are being mediated by the online world. Key track: “Eat Me Alive” Ceechynaa  Chloe Slater  From: Bournemouth, EnglandLabel: AWALLook out for: By calling for youth solidarity against forces of shallow ignorance, the empathy in Chloe Slater’s music comes with a razor-sharp edge. “I’ll choose a life that is mine,” she cries on the stunning, stirring single “Fig Tree,” which details the head-spinning intensity of trying to find yourself in a turbulent world – the kind of track that the kind that quietly slips in bold concepts while you recline into its bass-y groove. With a packed diary of U.K. festival dates, Slater’s profile is bound to rise this summer via ample opportunities to show off both her arresting live show and clarity of intention.Key track: “Fig Tree” Chy Cartier From: London, EnglandLabel: IndependentLook out for: Within a matter of months, Chy Cartier has received co-signs from an impressive array of British rap titans: Dave, Stormzy, Skepta, Central Cee and Little Simz, to name a few. The north London artist first courted acclaim online for how she bends jagged beats to her will, making her flow seem weightless and freeform. In recent years, much of the U.K. rap explosion has prioritized TikTok-aligned hooks and countless samples, but Chy offers a refreshing focus on experimentalism. She’s currently working on her debut mixtape, so keep your ear to the ground for more.Key track: “Shush” Cliffords From: Cork, IrelandLabel: IndependentLook out for: You easily could argue that Irish music is thriving as never before. Fontaines D.C. have stepped up to arenas; Kneecap have an award-winning biopic to their name; homegrown bands aplenty (NewDad, Gurriers, Search Results) are offering a counterargument to the long-held wisdom that guitar rock has had its day. Cliffords, led by the hypnotically malleable voice of Iona Lynch, are next in line to lead the charge. Their musical output has been minimal so far, but the five songs available on Spotify are all remarkable, bursts of atmospheric, full-throated indie in the vein of Sharon Van Etten. Key track: “Shattered Glass” Jacob Alon  From: Fife, ScotlandLabel: IslandLook out for: Buoyed by a silvery voice and some gently plucked guitar, Jacob Alon’s music can conjure an intrinsic sense of hope. Born in Fife, but long since settled in the Scottish capital of Edinburgh, Alon has navigated estrangement and homelessness in early career, learning firsthand how to process adversity through songwriting. They won the hearts of tastemaskers at Brighton’s The Great Escape festival last May, turning on some matter-of-fact charm and flashes of humor to leaven the sorrow embedded within their songs. A lengthy U.K. headlining tour for January, plus gigs at SXSW and Eurosonic, are already in the pipeline. Key track: “Fairy in a Bottle” Lola Young From: London, EnglandLabel: IslandLook out for: It’s taken a hot minute for Lola Young’s star power to crystallize. The south Londoner may have been popping up in “Ones to Watch” lists for the past half decade, but late 2024 saw her finally break through and achieve stateside success at a startling clip. On debut LP This Wasn’t Meant For You Anyway, she sounded confident and nuanced as she moved through the newfound eclecticism of her musical world, winning over SZA and Tyler, The Creator along the way. Album highlight “Messy” is currently at No. 3 in the Official U.K. Singles Chart, a dazzling start to what is set to be Young’s biggest year yet.Key track: “Messy” Luvcat From: Liverpool, EnglandLabel: AWALLook out for: The enigmatic ballads of Luvcat are bold and sexy without even

Heidi Montag’s 2010 album Superficial has achieved an unexpected resurgence, surging to No. 1 on iTunes following a social media push by her husband, Spencer Pratt. Explore Explore See latest videos, charts and news See latest videos, charts and news The couple, who first found fame on the reality series The Hills, lost their home in the Pacific Palisades wildfire. Amid the tragedy, the pair turned to social media to share their journey and encourage fans to stream Montag’s music as a way to help them rebuild. “Anyone that hasn’t gone to iTunes, just do it now. Let’s go to No. 1,” Pratt said last week on TikTok. “We’ll get the screenshot, she’ll be a famous pop star for when her kids are grown up. She’ll be in the history books.” “They won’t know it’s because our house burned down, and we have no possessions and people are just trying to support us. They’ll just be like, ‘Wow! My mom was a pop superstar that was No. 1 on the charts.’” The campaign gained traction quickly, with support from fans and fellow celebrities like Emily Ratajkowski and Flavor Flav, who posted a TikTok of himself dancing to Montag’s track with the caption, “Doing my part to get Heidi to No. 1.” Over the weekend, both the album and titular song hit No. 1 on iTunes, beating out much more recent releases from Bad Bunny, Bruno Mars, Teddy Swims and Morgan Wallen. Pratt jubilantly shared on social media amid the news his wife’s album had surpassed Bad Bunny’s Debí Tirar Más Fotos on iTunes. “Popstar Heidi Montag No. 1 on iTunes America! Thank you everyone! Who needs a house, who needs clothes, who needs anything but this level of clout, pop, superstardom? Our sons are gonna be like, ‘My mom was No. 1 on iTunes America.’ Thank you to everyone who made this happen.” Montag also thanked fans in a video posted to TikTok and Instagram on Saturday night, “Thank you so much to everyone, No. 1 on iTunes charts, oh my gosh. Thank you for the overwhelming love and support of my music and really rallying behind us in this devastating time and making it such a blessing.” “Thank you for helping support us, helping build us back up, helping to encourage us, give us that hope and faith and excitement in such a dark, dark time,” she added, noting the “crazy” timing of it being the album’s 15-year anniversary. Following Montag’s major achievement, Pratt, who recently reached over one million followers on TikTok while sharing candid updates about the destruction of their home, has now set his sights on the Billboard charts. “So I was just informed that for Heidi to get No. 1 on Billboard, we need all do it or Superficial to be on the radio. So anybody that has a radio station, you know, a radio station on social media you can tag, please ask them for the next week to play ‘I’ll Do It’ or Superficial from Heidi’s album,” Pratt said in one of his updates. “We need radio play, I guess not just iTunes, to get No. 1 on Billboard charts, which is the ultimate goal, cause then it’s like, that’s a wrap. Heidi is the biggest superstar in the world, you know, obviously not Taylor Swift, but it’s like Taylor Swift, Heidi Montag.” He joked about enlisting the help of Taylor Swift’s fanbase, saying, “I need all the Swifties back up. I mean, I really do need Taylor, you know, I think I’m gonna have to, you know, get out the bat phone and put the Swiftie light in the sky. Like, we need some Taylor Swift support here.” In one candid update on TikTok, Pratt also spoke of the gravity of his family’s tragic loss in the Los Angeles wildfires which has seen the death toll rise to 24 as of Jan. 13. “Let’s be clear. If I seem like the most unhinged, crashing out person on this whole app, I am. Let’s just get that frickin’ clear. I have lost my mind,” he said. “I am keeping it together here, ’cause I have two kids and I wanna frickin’ have them go to college and have a frickin’ life, okay? So this is crashing out at its finest, OK?” In an earlier video after the family witnessed their home burn down in real-time via a security camera, Pratt said on TikTok, “I have been ‘faking it till you make it’ since 2007. Guess what? Faking it till you make it, doesn’t make it. Especially when everything burns down.” In another TikTok video, Pratt added, “The only thing that’s really keeping me going and feeling so much hope and positivity and like something good is going to come out of the worst thing that ever happened in the history of my life on earth, is everyone here on this app” Despite their situation, Pratt remains laser-focused on turning the iTunes success into Billboard charting glory, using every platform to rally supporters. “But yes, radio play, ‘I’ll Do It’ or ‘Superficial,’ those are the two that are charting. Please, please, please, anybody that knows any radio people, or message your radio station or call your radio station. Let’s make this happen!” he told his TikTok followers. “We’ve got one week before this Billboard chart drops.” Source link

Halsey‘s path to chart-topping success began in the most unexpected of places: the New Jersey hardcore scene. In a recently surfaced TikTok video, the Grammy-nominated artist, whose real name is Ashley Nicolette Frangipane, reflected on her early days organizing shows for hardcore and metal bands. “I used to promote hardcore shows in Jersey before I started making music,” Halsey in the clip during a meet-and-greet event at Ulta for her About-Face beauty line. “I did a lot of hardcore but then also some of the more commercial hardcore. The biggest show I ever booked, I was 16, was like August Burns Red and The Devil Wears Prada.” Explore Explore See latest videos, charts and news See latest videos, charts and news Halsey also shared that her senior yearbook quote was inspired by the hardcore band Defeater, adding, “I’ve said before that I might have quoted Hundredth, too, so who knows.” The singer’s roots in hardcore may seem worlds away from her current pop dominance, but certainly add context to the genre-blending ethos that has defined her career. Her 2015 debut album, Badlands, entered the Billboard 200 at No. 2, a position she has since matched with Manic in 2020 and If I Can’t Have Love, I Want Power in 2021. Halsey earned her first solo Billboard Hot 100 No. 1 with the 2018 smash hit “Without Me,” while her latest album, The Great Impersonator (2024), debuted at No. 2 on the Billboard 200 and topped the Top Rock & Alternative Albums and Top Alternative Albums charts, selling 93,000 equivalent album units in its first week, including 81,000 in traditional album sales, according to Luminate. The Great Impersonator marked her third leader on the latter following If I Can’t Have Love, I Want Power (2021) and Badlands (2015). It also entered Billboard’s Top Album Sales chart at No. 2, driven by strong vinyl sales, which accounted for 26,000 of the total. The album features tracks like “Panic Attack” and “Ego,” which debuted on the Hot Rock & Alternative Songs chart at No. 25 and No. 30, respectively. “Ego” made notable progress on radio, peaking at No. 25 on Adult Pop Airplay and reaching No. 28 on Pop Airplay. Halsey’s foray into rock and metal began long before her chart-topping success. Her 2021 album, If I Can’t Have Love, I Want Power, produced by Trent Reznor and Atticus Ross, featured collaborations with rock icons like Dave Grohl and Lindsey Buckingham. With The Great Impersonator, Halsey continued her rock-inspired exploration, even recreating iconic looks of artists like David Bowie, Cher, and Bruce Springsteen in the lead-up to the album’s October 2024 release.
