Iconic ’70s Rock Band Abruptly Cancels Tour
Frankie Valli, the legendary frontman of The Four Seasons, has canceled all of his remaining 2026 tour dates as he steps away from the road to focus on his health.
The 92-year-old singer announced the decision Friday through social media, ending months of uncertainty surrounding several previously postponed performances.
“I’m so sorry to disappoint the folks who have purchased tickets to my shows, but I have decided to take the rest of the year off from touring to focus on my health,” Valli said. “Im looking forward to getting healthy and seeing you all again soon. Thank you for all your good wishes.”

The announcement means that all remaining Frankie Valli and the Four Seasons concerts scheduled through November 2026 have been canceled. Several shows that had already been moved from spring dates into later months are now officially off the calendar.
View this post on InstagramValli’s longtime representative, Victoria Varela, told Variety that the decision was made to avoid keeping fans waiting indefinitely while his health situation is addressed.
“Promoters want to prolong things and not give people their money back,” Varela said. “But he needs to not keep rescheduling these shows. He realized he needed to take a break and get his health in order, and that is the true issue, he wants to get better without prolonging, through the rescheduling process, the pain of people who’ve bought these tickets.”
Varela added that Valli plans to dedicate the next six months to improving his health before considering whether a return to live performances could happen in 2027.
The singer did not disclose the specific health issues that led to his decision. However, concerns about his well-being have circulated online in recent years as videos from his performances gained attention on social media.
Despite those concerns, Valli remained committed to performing. His most recent concert took place on Feb. 22 at Pechanga Resort Casino in Temecula, California.
Fans quickly filled the comments section of his Instagram announcement with messages of support and encouragement. Friends and fellow musicians also shared their wishes for a full recovery.
Among them was saxophonist Rick Keller, who wrote, “Hi Frankie, sending you strength and wishes for healing and comfort! Your sax player Rick.”
The cancellation affects a series of scheduled performances across the United States, including dates planned for Arizona, California, New Jersey and Michigan.
Valli has remained one of the most enduring performers in popular music. Born Francesco Stephen Castelluccio in Newark, New Jersey, he rose to fame as the unmistakable voice behind The Four Seasons.
His powerful falsetto helped turn songs such as “Sherry,” “Big Girls Don't Cry,” “Walk Like a Man” and “Rag Doll” into chart-topping hits during the 1960s. As a solo artist, he also scored major successes with “Can't Take My Eyes Off You,” “My Eyes Adored You” and “Grease.”
Over the course of his career, Valli earned 29 Top 40 hits with The Four Seasons and nine additional Top 40 singles as a solo performer.
His achievements have been recognized with numerous honors. Valli and the original members of The Four Seasons were inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in 1990. He later joined the New Jersey Hall of Fame and received a joint star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame with The Four Seasons in 2024.
In 2025, he received his first Grammy honor when he was presented with a Grammy Lifetime Achievement Award.
Valli’s remarkable career also inspired the hit Broadway musical “Jersey Boys,” which chronicled the rise of The Four Seasons and later became a feature film directed by Clint Eastwood.
Although his touring plans have now been halted for the remainder of the year, Valli’s statement suggests he has not ruled out returning to the stage. For now, the music icon is placing his focus on recovery while fans around the world await updates on his health and future plans.

'90s Rock Band, Originally Disbanding After Two Years, Ranked Among 'Best Supergroups' of All Time
Neurotic Outsiders earned a unique place in the music industry after being named one of the “best supergroups” of all time.
An influential rock band in the 1990s, the four-piece group comprised top-notch musicians, including Sex Pistols’ Steve Jones on guitar and vocals, Guns N' Roses’ Duff McKagan on guitar, Duran Duran’s John Taylor on bass and drummer Matt Sorum from Guns N' Roses and The Cult.
Joining highly regarded groups such as Cream, Velvet Revolver, Temple of the Dog, Them Crooked Vultures and more, Neurotic Outsiders landed at No. 19 on the Top 20 list of the greatest supergroups in rock history, as ranked by Louder Sound.
The publication highlighted the band’s major success after releasing its self-titled debut album, Neurotic Outsiders, in 1996.
Under Maverick Records, the band released only one studio album and two successful singles before disbanding two years after its formation.

Formed in 1995, the group released its debut studio album a year later and peaked at No. 22 on the UK Rock & Metal Albums Chart.
Their first single, “Jerk,” hit No. 14 on the UK Rock Chart and No. 3 on the US Modern Rock Tracks chart, making it their biggest standout track.
Another signature song by Neurotic Outsiders was their second official single, “Angelina,” written by Jones.
The strong reception from fans prompted the band to embark on a North American and European tour featuring surprise guests, marking its first and only tour as a band.
“I was dumbfounded,” McKagan told Yahoo, regarding the achievement of the supergroup at the time. “We were just having a laugh, after all. It was funny to hear it described as a group at all, much less a supergroup. The whole thing was totally casual - our live shows were nothing more than punk-rock parties, a couple of dudes playing loads of cover songs - Clash, Pistols, Damned, Stooges - with lots of our friends joining us onstage for a song or two.”
Although Neurotic Outsiders scored commercial success with its first studio album, the band failed to sustain its momentum and ultimately broke up in 1997 due to conflicting schedules and commitments to their primary bands.
Following the disbandment, Sorum rejoined The Cult while Taylor returned to Duran Duran for a full reunion.
As for McKagan, he focused on sobriety and earned a business and studied business, which led him to launch the money management firm Meridian Rock.

Legendary Music Mogul Clive Davis Hospitalized
Clive Davis was hospitalized in New York City on Friday, May 29, TMZ reports.
A spokesperson for the music mogul told the outlet that he was suffering from "an upper respiratory infection and out of an abundance of caution, he was admitted to the hospital." The spokesperson added that he is expected to be released in 24 hours.
The 94-year-old record producer's hospitalization comes just a week after he was seen attending the Gordon Parks Foundation Awards Dinner and Auction in New York City.
Davis' contributions to the music industry are vast; he has won five Grammy Awards during his career. He was also inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame as a non-performer in 2000. Davis headed several different labels, beginning with being named president of CBS Records in 1967. That's when he went to a festival and saw Janis Joplin perform, going on to sign her band. He also signed Carlos Santana’s band in 1968, along with bringing Bruce Springsteen, Aerosmith, and Billy Joel to Columbia.
In 1973, his time at CBS Records came to an end as he was fired, and from there, he went on to take over Arista Records. There, he signed Patti Smith, the Kinks, and the Grateful Dead. He also worked closely with Aretha Franklin and Dionne Warwick, signing Franklin to Arista Records after her contract with Atlantic Records ended. But that's not all, as he went on to sign Whitney Houston in 1983.
In 2000, he left Arista Records and started a new label, J Records. There he signed and mentored numerous stars including Alicia Keys, Jennifer Hudson, and Kelly Clarkson.
Davis is also infamous for his Grammy parties, with the music mogul telling Billboard in January that they are the highlight of his year.
"Well, it’s exciting because it’s as star-filled as ever, if not more," he added. "But it’s the emotion of people looking forward to it that keeps me on my toes."
Keanu Reeves Makes Admission About Performing for Bon Jovi 31 Years Ago
Keanu Reeves is looking back on one of the most memorable moments of his music career.
The actor and musician recently shared his reaction to performing with his alternative rock band Dogstar as an opening act for Bon Jovi during the mid-1990s. More than three decades later, Reeves admitted he was stunned by the opportunity at the time.
“When we opened for Bon Jovi at The Forum, that was just like, ‘What?!,’” Reeves recalled, according to Loudwire.
The experience happened during Dogstar’s rise in the 1990s, when the band was building its reputation on the Los Angeles music scene. Although Reeves was already becoming a major Hollywood star following films like Speed, he remained committed to his role as Dogstar’s bassist.

“Then it was like, it felt okay. It was fun. It was fun,” Reeves added.
Dogstar opened for Bon Jovi on select dates of the rock band's 1995 These Days tour, including performances at the Great Western Forum in Los Angeles. The lineup featured Reeves on bass, Bret Domrose on vocals and guitar, and Robert Mailhouse on drums.
While many bands in the 1990s were influenced by the exploding grunge movement from Seattle and alternative rock scenes across the West Coast, Dogstar never felt fully connected to those trends.
“We weren't part of it, at all,” Reeves said while discussing the Los Angeles music scene of the era.
His bandmates agreed with the assessment.
“I think, you know, we were feeling it, but to what Keanu was saying, we weren't really a part of it,” Mailhouse explained.
“But we were feeling it and it was a good time to be alive and a great time to be in Los Angeles at that time as well. It was exciting because it was a whole other sort of nail in the coffin of a certain genre and a bring up of another one. Everything seemed exciting.”
For Dogstar, the period was less about fitting into a movement and more about developing their own identity. The band spent years playing clubs, bars, and smaller venues while learning the music business.
The reflection comes as Dogstar enters a new chapter in its career.
The trio recently announced the release of All In Now, their latest studio album, which arrived on May 29 through their independent label, Dillon Street Records. The project follows the band's 2023 reunion album, Somewhere Between the Power Lines and Palm Trees, which marked their return after more than two decades away from recording and touring together.
Dogstar is scheduled to support the new album with an extensive 2026 tour across North America, Europe and the United Kingdom.
Meanwhile, Bon Jovi remains active as well. The legendary rock group, led by Jon Bon Jovi, continues to perform decades after becoming one of the world's best-selling rock bands. Known for hits such as “Livin’ on a Prayer,” “You Give Love a Bad Name” and “Always,” the band has sold more than 130 million records worldwide.
For Reeves, however, one memory still stands out. Looking back at Dogstar’s chance to open for Bon Jovi in front of thousands of fans, his reaction remains as genuine as it was in 1995.
1979 Hit, Originally Disliked by Record Label, Remains a Soft Rock Anthem 47 Years Later
In 1979, Supertramp released a song that would become one of the defining soft rock hits of its era, even though not everyone believed in it at first.
"The Logical Song" went on to become a worldwide hit and remains a radio staple 47 years later, despite reportedly receiving a lukewarm reaction from some at the band's record label during its early stages.
Written by Roger Hodgson, the song explored themes of identity, conformity and the loss of innocence through a deeply personal lens. Hodgson later explained that the lyrics were inspired by his own reflections on growing up and questioning how childhood wonder can gradually give way to the pressures and expectations of adulthood.
"I had these chords written," he told Louder. "I hadn’t thought much of them, to tell the truth. But then one day when I was playing the chords, I heard the melody. And as I started singing the melody, the first word that came to me was 'liberal''… Right away, I knew what I wanted to say. The song was born out of my questions about what really mattered in life."
Musically, "The Logical Song" stood out immediately.
Combining a catchy pop melody with thoughtful lyrics, distinctive keyboards and an unforgettable saxophone part, the track showcased the sophisticated songwriting that helped make Supertramp one of the most successful bands of the late 1970s.
The song appeared on the band's blockbuster album, Breakfast in America, which became one of the best-selling records of the decade and produced multiple hit singles.
Engineer Peter Henderson later recalled bringing the song to executives at the band's record label and encountering a surprisingly skeptical reaction. "There was all this shaking of heads and discussions," Henderson told Sound On Sound.
The response was so negative that he feared the worst, saying, "I was convinced that the whole thing had been totally f***ed up. It was literally a 'This is the end of my career' situation."
Despite some industry executives questioning the song's commercial potential, listeners quickly embraced it. "The Logical Song" became one of Supertramp's biggest international hits and helped introduce the band to a much broader audience around the world.
Its combination of introspective lyrics and accessible pop-rock hooks allowed it to connect with both casual listeners and devoted music fans.
Over the decades, the song has remained remarkably relevant. New generations continue discovering it through streaming platforms, classic rock radio and film and television placements.
Part of the track’s lasting appeal comes from its universal message. Questions about identity, purpose and fitting into society remain just as relatable today as they were when the song was first released.
For many fans, "The Logical Song" represents the perfect balance between intellectual songwriting and mainstream accessibility.
Nearly five decades after its debut, the track remains one of the most recognizable songs of the soft rock era, a reminder that sometimes even the songs doubted by record executives can become timeless classics.

Pillsbury Quietly Launches 4 New Treats—And Fans Are Already Obsessed
Pillsbury is winning over fans with four new grocery store finds.
Weeks after welcoming summer with new seasonal Funfetti mixes and frostings and introducing patriotic specials perfect for this year's historic Independence Day, the iconic boxed cake mix and ready-to-make dough brand has quietly begun rolling out more bakery-style treats that seem to offer endless possibilities for enjoyment.
Some may say that any Pillsbury product can be used to make more than just the recipe on the box, and while they'd be absolutely correct (we personally love making its Cinnamon Rolls in the waffle maker), the brand's new Poppin' Flavors line—which includes two new flavored biscuits and two new fruit roll pastries—takes it to new extremes.
Pillsbury's Refrigerated Dough Gets 4 Poppin' New FlavorsWhile the company hasn't officially announced the newcomers yet, three of the four additions are live on its website: Pillsbury Grands Poppin' Flavor Maple Biscuits, Pillsbury Grands Poppin' Flavor Apple Fruit Rolls and Pillsbury Grands Poppin' Flavor Raspberry Fruit Rolls. Their official descriptions are as follows:
Related: Pillsbury Is Launching 2 New Cookie Dough Flavors, Including 1 Fans Are Calling ‘Delicious’
- Pillsbury Grands Poppin' Flavor Biscuits Maple: Crispy outside, fluffy inside and oh so golden-brown good! Enjoy them on their own or with spreads. They’re great for breakfast sandwiches, monkey bread and homestyle biscuits and gravy too. Just pop, peel and bake. They’re ready in minutes. Each can will make eight biscuits.
- Pillsbury Grands Poppin' Flavor Fruit Rolls Apple: In minutes, you'll have an irresistible addition to a breakfast or brunch. Simply pop, place, and bake the apple roll dough in an oven, then finish with the creamy vanilla icing on top. Use the refrigerated dough to quickly whip up sweet sensations like apple-Kissed Breakfast Bread Pudding, apple-Almond Breakfast Bake, or Apple-Vanilla Breakfast Rolls. Each can will make five Fruit Rolls.
- Pillsbury Grands Poppin' Flavor Fruit Rolls Raspberry: Just like the new Apple Fruit Rolls, fans can simply bake and serve delicious Pillsbury Raspberry Rolls as dessert or breakfast, or use the dough and a bit of creativity to make their own treats. Each can will make five Fruit Rolls.
The fourth, more elusive flavor, may not be online yet, but it's popping up on store shelves: Pillsbury Grands Poppin' Flavor Mike's Hot Honey Biscuits.
While there was no product information for Parade to review, an image of its packaging indicates each can will also make eight biscuits. They will presumably combine the sweet-and-spicy ("swicy") flavors of Mike's Hot Honey with the classic crunchy outside and fluffy middle of Pillsbury Grands.
View this post on InstagramAnd it appears fans don't need any official word to know that these newcomers pack serious potential.
"Oh that's a nice addition!" one Instagram user cheered.
"oooohhh that hot honey has a chance to be good," another added.
A third said they "Definitely wanna try the fruit rolls."
"Ohhh, I'm excited for all of these! Hot honey biscuits with fried chicken patties! Maple biscuits with bacon and eggs! And fruit rolls which are essentially danishes! Can NOT wait to try," another cheered, teasing, "please don't disappoint me @pillsbury."
"Hot honey biscuits?!" someone else said in disbelief. "OOH! These would slap in chicken sandwiches or even breakfast sandwiches."
"Oh wow that’s so yummy apple and raspberry biscuits," one more gushed, "we can’t wait buy it ❤️."
Where Will the New Pillsbury Biscuits and Fruit Rolls Be Available?So far, shoppers have found the items at their local Hy-Vee. Since Pillsbury hasn't announced the new lineup yet, it's hard to say for sure where they will be available and for how long.
However, since their online descriptions don't mention exclusivity, we believe they should be rolling out to stores that typically carry other refrigerated Pillsbury products (prices may vary).
Parade reached out to a spokesperson for comment.

5 Things You Didn't Know You Could Order Off-Menu at In-N-Out Burger
The worst-kept secret in fast food is In-N-Out's off-menu items. In fact, they're some of the most popular in the game, with classics that'll make your mouth water and taste buds jump with joy.
Whether it's fries drenched in the burger chain's signature sweet and tangy spread or getting your patties grilled in mustard for an extra kick of flavor, In-N-Out's secret menu hits the spot every time. (Sorry to anyone who still hasn't tried it.)
😋😋SIGN UP to get delicious recipes, handy kitchen hacks & more in our daily Pop Kitchen newsletter🍳🍔
Although In-N-Out's menu may be one of the smallest (or curated, if you prefer) among other fast-food options, that's part of what makes it so good. More focus can be placed on every fresh and locally-sourced ingredient and the meticulous preparation process.
And there's plenty of room to customize your order beyond the listed menu items. You'd be surprised by the number of combinations you can come up with from such a simple lineup of ingredients.
Whether you're cutting carbs, craving melted cheese, or looking to add a spicy kick to your burger or fries, you can easily customize nearly every part of your order.
Looking for more than the typical Double-Double? This list of In-N-Out's not-so-secret menu covers the most popular ways to upgrade your meal.
In-N-Out Off-Menu ItemsReady to liven up your next In-N-Out run? Here's what you need to order next.
1. Animal Style Everything [I Ate] In-N-Out. Grilled Cheese - Animal Style, Double Double - Animal Style, Regular and Animal Style Fries.by u/fezenteenrabbit in food
Animal Style is In-N-Out's most popular off-menu option for good reason. On burgers, you get the standard lettuce and tomato, but the patties are mustard-fried and topped with pickles, spread and grilled onions. You can also order your grilled cheese Animal Style.
When ordering Animal Style fries, you'll get the chain's famous, fresh-cut fries topped with a couple of slices of melted American cheese, grilled onions and spread.
Some customers like to order the fries well done to keep them from getting soggy from the heavier toppings.
Pro tip: Ask for chopped chilies on top for some added heat, or request a whole grilled onion for an even more savory flavor.

2. Protein Style (No Bun)Trying to cut carbs? In-N-Out's protein-style option lets you replace its regular burger buns with hand-leafed lettuce. It's crispy, fresh and actually pretty satisfying despite not having that soft, pillowy bread.
You can order anything from a single cheeseburger to a 4x4 (four patties and four slices of cheese) and ask them to be wrapped in lettuce leaves. It's basically the most delicious handheld cheeseburger salad.
3. The Flying DutchmanGo beyond no bun with no veggies either. The Flying Dutchman is essentially two beef patties and two slices of melted cheese. Many people also add grilled onions or make it Animal Style with the mustard-fried patties, spread and pickles.
Whether you're ordering for picky eaters or on a keto or carnivore diet, this order comes in handy when you want to keep it simple. I'm a bun guy myself, but I recently tried this one, and I wasn't mad about it. It was scrumptious.

4. Fries Cooked Your WayIn-N-Out fries get a bad rap for tasting like cardboard, and I can see where people are coming from. They don't have the salty, crispy appeal of McDonald’s fries or the fun waffle-cut texture of Chick-fil-A fries, but you can customize how they're cooked to get your ideal texture.
Ask for extra light, slightly light, light, normal, light-well, well-done or extra well, depending on how crispy you want them. Yeah, there's that level of customization. Some people prefer theirs light-well to avoid In-N-Out's typical fry taste, while still getting a crispy outside and fluffy inside.
You can also customize how salty you want them. Ask for light salt or extra salt, depending on your salt tolerance. Of course, you can also add cheese, spread, pickles, chopped chilies, onion, ketchup and mustard.
5. Neapolitan ShakeIn-N-Out offers vanilla, strawberry and chocolate shakes, but did you know you can mix flavors, including all three? Just order a Neapolitan shake to get chocolate, vanilla and strawberry soft serve all blended together.
You can actually taste each flavor, and because the soft serve is not fully mixed, the flavor changes with every sip. We highly recommend dipping your fries in it for the full experience.
What Are "Roadkill Fries," and Can I Order Them? Small joy [cartoon]by u/liol in reddit.com
These are basically Animal Style fries topped with chopped Flying Dutchman patties. Roadkill doesn't exactly sound appetizing, but somehow this combo works.
Just order Animal Style fries with chopped patties on top. We also recommend adding grilled onions for an even more indulgent bite. Wash it down with a root beer or lemonade float, and you've got the perfect fast-food meal.
As you can see, In-N-Out's off-menu items are simple customizations that completely elevate the classic burger, fry and drink combo. So, next time you're at the drive-thru or ordering inside, keep this list handy to find your new favorite item.

Walmart’s 'Gorgeous' $20 Midi Skirt Is the Breezy Summer Find Your Closet Needs
Parade aims to feature only the best products and services. If you buy something via one of our links, we may earn a commission.
You can never go wrong with adding a flowy skirt to your summer rotation, especially if it’s a bestseller and it’s on sale. Right now, the Time and Tru Tiered Print Midi Skirt is marked down to $9 at Walmart, from its original price of $20. It comes in two colors: a dark navy with tiny flowers, and pale blue. Sizes range from extra small through 3XL. The best part? Since both colors are on sale, you could grab both for less than the original price of two.
The skirt is made from 85% rayon and 15% nylon, so it offers a lightweight feel that works perfectly for hot days and everyday wear. It has a comfortable A-line fit, a midi length, and a tiered silhouette that gives it a flowy shape. The pull-on design also features an elastic waistband with a drawstring tie, machine-washable fabric, and two side-seam pockets.
Time and Tru Tiered Print Midi Skirt, $9 (was $20) at Walmart Shop at WalmartStyling is a breeze since the skirt is flowy and tiered enough on its own and only needs something simple on top to pull it all together. A plain tank, a cropped T-shirt, or a lightweight button-down would all work well, depending on where you’re wearing it. It would also look great with almost any kind of footwear, whether that means sandals for the beach, sneakers for errands, or boots for an outdoor country concert.
There’s no shortage of praise for how stylish this skirt is, either, with shoppers calling it “gorgeous,” “super cute,” and “very, very pretty.” One reviewer wrote, “The material is super soft,” which is always a perk if you’re looking for warm-weather staples. Another called it “gorgeous” and “perfect for summer.”

It can work for a surprising number of summer plans, from casual workdays to shopping trips, weekend brunches, and outdoor dinners.

’70s Rocker from Iconic Band, Once Banned by Major Radio Station, Turns 77
Francis Rossi, co-founder of the legendary rock band Status Quo, is celebrating a special milestone as he turns 77.
On May 29, 1949, the London native was born and later established himself as a music icon after helping to launch the multi-award-winning group with chart-topping tracks.
Through decades of performing, releasing hit songs and spending years on the road, Status Quo have built a legacy that has stood the test of time, even weathering challenging controversies.
Inside Francis Rossi’s Remarkable Rock LegacyWhat began as a schoolyard band eventually evolved into one of rock's most enduring acts. Rossi formed the group with bassist Alan Lancaster that would eventually become Status Quo, with Rick Parfitt joining on rhythm guitar and vocals and John Coghlan on drums.
The then-aspiring musicians were able to secure a four-month residency at Butlin's holiday camp over the summer, which allowed them to transition to a full-time professional band.

It was in 1966 that the band, performing under the name The Spectres, scored their first record deal after signing a five-year contract with Piccadilly Records but later changed their name to Traffic Jam.
However, they had to abandon the name to avoid potential legal issues with Steve Winwood’s supergroup Traffic, ultimately adopting the name Status Quo.
The band's fortunes changed dramatically in 1968 when "Pictures of Matchstick Men" became a breakout hit after landing at No.7 on the UK Singles Chart and No. 12 on the US Billboard Hot 100, making it their only major hit in the U.S.
Status Quo’s reinvention was fully embraced by listeners after releasing their fifth album, Piledriver, as the band veered away from its psychedelic pop image and opted for a heavy, boogie rock sound which became its signature style.
"Paper Plane" was a major hit that went straight to No. 8 on the UK Singles Chart following the album’s release.
Other songs that helped Status Quo cement its music legacy were "Don't Waste My Time,” "Big Fat Mama,” and "Roadhouse Blues," all from the same album.
However, amid their continued success, the band also encountered a difficult period in its career.
Status Quo's Controversial BBC Radio 1 BanIn 1996, Status Quo underwent legal proceedings against BBC Radio 1 after claiming that the radio station had issued a "blanket ban" on producers playing its records.
The band filed two legal claims; the first sought judicial review of BBC policy, while the second was for damages for lost sales.
“Someone seems to not like us at Radio 1,” Rossi mentioned at the time as cited by The Independent, adding “But the staff are not paid to be tastemakers. They should play the current Top 40, which is their remit.”
However, years after the controversial lawsuit, the frontman admitted that he was "embarrassed" by the legal move the band had made.
Describing it as “f—ing ridiculous,” he told The Telegraph in 2026 how he felt “very uncomfortable at the time.”
“I remember I saw it on the news and heard me say, ‘We’re just not having it.’ And I was embarrassed by it, to be honest,” he said. Adding that the bold decision was driven by the band’s late manager, David Walker.

The Legendary A-List Couple Who Inspired Paul McCartney’s ‘Perfect’ Secret Gift to Linda
Paul McCartney just revealed a thoughtful, one-of-a-kind gift idea for significant others.
The musician recently spoke to Amanda Dimoldenberg for an episode of Chicken Shop Dateabout his late wife, LindaMcCartney.
McCartney gave his wife a very special piece of jewelry. In the interview, he admitted another A-list couple inspired the idea.
"I'd seen Aristotle Onassis gave his wives a bracelet," he said. "And so, one of them was Jackie Onassis, and so it [spelled out] J-I-L-Y: 'Jackie, I love you.'"
"And so I suddenly thought, 'Perfect!' Get Linda one and it'll be L-I-L-Y, 'Linda, I love you,'" McCartney said. "Lily. It's the perfect name to do that with."
The couple married in 1969, just a year before McCartney left the Beatles. They had three children together, and the “Hey Jude” singer adopted his wife’s daughter from a previous marriage. Linda died in 1998 from breast cancer.
McCartney looked back at her impact in Words + Music with Audible. He called his late wife a “freeing influence" on him.
“She had grown up in a posh bit of New York. She was on track to become the sort of company wife. But she didn't like that. She liked rock ‘n' roll,” McCartney shared. “And she would do things like sneak out of the house late at night and drive into New York with a boyfriend. So there was a lot of freedom in her thinking. So I think that really was good for me.”
The “Yesterday” singer added that she helped him decompress and "not to be too uptight."
"You'd be saying, ‘Oh, I'd love to do so and so but I can't.' And she'd say, ‘It's allowed.' It's like all the weight just went off,” he said. “‘It's allowed.' Yeah, of course it is!”
McCartney's latest album, The Boys of Dungeon Lane, is out now.
’90s Rom-Com Queen Returns in New Film Being Called an ‘Absolute Delight’
For fans of 1990sromanticcomedies, there's no way to think of this golden era of movies without picturing actress Rachael Leigh Cook, who was arguably the queen of this genre. Luckily for fans of Cook, she is officially back to the genre that made her a star with her latest project, a rom-com movie called There She Goes, which people are already in love with.
To make the big return even more special and fitting, Cook plays a woman named Molly who left her high school sweetheart to become a super successful '90s rom-com star. Her ex-boyfriend is played by Utkarsh Ambudkar.

Ambudkar posted about the movie before its premiere on Fox on May 28, sharing a clip and some stills as he wrote, "What happens when high school sweethearts re-unite after 25 years? A friggin’ bangin’ soundtrack, cute comedic banter and a maybe a little el-oh-v-eeeeee."

1971 No. 1 Soft Rock Anthem From One of the 'Greatest Albums of All Time' Became an Era-Defining Classic
There's no question that Carole King is one of the most successful songwriters of all time: She started writing hit tunes when she was just a teenager. Back then, of course, most of those songs were for other people, like "Up on the Roof" for the Drifters and "Pleasant Valley Sunday" for the Monkees. By 1968, however, King was ready to step into the spotlight.
The young mother split from her husband and songwriting partner, Gerry Goffin, and ditched NYC for Los Angeles, according to American Songwriter. Her first solo album, Writer, was a modest success...but her second album, 1971's Tapestry, was one of the most iconic albums of the decade. (In the years since its release, it's been included on countless "Greatest Albums of All Time" lists; Rolling Stone ranked it #25 on their 2020 roundup).
The lead single from Tapestry, "I Feel the Earth Move," went to #1 on the Billboard Hot 100 in June of 1971 and stayed there for five weeks; the tune's flip side, "It's Too Late," also went to the very top of the charts, with the pair becoming two of the biggest mainstream pop hits of the year.
Interestingly enough, Tapestry was released a day after the San Fernando earthquake hit L.A., making the song's title unexpectedly timely.
“To suggest an earthquake, I concluded with a continuous cluster of notes on the piano cascading rapidly downward in pitch until the band, and I ended the run together on a final C bass note,” King wrote in her autobiography, A Natural Woman.
In his review of the Tapestry album for Rolling Stone, Jon Landau paid special attention to the track, writing, "On the opening cut, 'I Feel the Earth Move' (one of six songs she wrote entirely on her own), she begins on a raunchy note and works herself into a very bluesy mood. Then, when the song reaches the chorus, the melody blossoms into a pretty pop line as Carole's tone goes from harsh to soothing and she sings."

Not only was "I Feel the Earth Move" a major milestone for King as a solo artist, the song (and the entire Tapestry album) helped to usher in a new era for singer-songwriters. (While King was recording Tapestry in studio B at A&M Studios, Joni Mitchell was next door in studio C recording the iconic album Blue, per Ultimate Classic Rock.)
Unsurprisingly, King went on to win four Grammys in 1972, making her the biggest winner that year.

1976 Yacht Rock Classic, Written in 10 Minutes, Became a Signature Love Anthem and TV Jingle
In the mid '70s, Johanna Hall developed a track for the soft rock band the Orleans after being asked a question by a friend about love. The track would end up becoming a yacht rock staple that also became a TV jingle.
The Orleons had made a name for themselves in 1975 when they released the track "Dance With Me," which landed them at No. 6 on the charts. A year later, in 1976, they released the song "Still the One," written by Johanna Hall and John Hall for their album Waking and Dreaming. It would land at No. 5 on the Billboard Hot 100 charts and No. 6 on Cashbox.
Both John and bass player Lance Hoppen recall how Johanna was asked by a close friend why musicians can't write a song about a couple staying together. At the time, a majority of popular tracks involved heartache or hurtful breakups.
"A friend of ours was going through a divorce and asked Johanna (Hall's wife and lyricist) to write a song about a couple staying together," said John to SongFacts. "So she did, and she handed me the finished lyric on the back of an envelope and said, 'Do you think you can do anything with this?' I wrote the music to it in 10 minutes, which was a good sign."
Other reports state that Johanna felt the spark of inspiration while doing laundry, and the lyrics were written on the back of a napkin. Regardless, their producer, Chuck Plotkin, knew it would become a hit track, despite them having reservations about it being the lead single for the band's album. "Still the One" became a certified love anthem that critics felt was a perfect follow-up to their other track "Dance With Me."
Johanna recalled how she thought no marriage or relationship is perfect. "It's a song that tries to reflect a reality that you can be in love with someone, and they can be in love with you, and you can have mostly really great times together, and still go through troubled times and difficult spots. And it's an opportunity for spiritual growth, or for personal growth. The test is whether you get through them."
"Still the One" Became a TV jingle for ABCThe soft rock track had an interesting use a few years later. In 1977, "Still the One" was used as a jingle by the American Broadcasting Company, also known as ABC. It was largely used as a way to promote the network's list of programs for the 1977-78 TV season, and was used again the following season.
As a result, a lot of ABC affiliates also used the track to promote strong ratings, with the lyrics sometimes adapted for local advertisements. In 1995 and 2002, ABC made two versions of "Still the One" and even used it for a Burger King commercial.
The use of the track ran into a hiccup when it was used during the 2004 Bush campaign. John Hall, who was an Orleans co-founder and future Democratic congressman, stated the campaign didn't ask permission and dropped it from their rotation. A similar incident happened years later with the John McCain campaign.
2010 Oscar-Nominated Film Was Just Named the 'Greatest Psychological Thriller of the Last 20 Years'
Critics and audiences alike are drawn to films that are gripping and unpredictable. For this reason, psychological thrillers tend to be box office successes and receive accolades.
Colliderrecently highlighted some of the best psychological thrillers released after 2006 by sharing a ranking of "the 10 greatest psychological thrillers of the last 20 years." The list featured hit films with plenty of unexpected twists, like 2019's Midsommar, Get Out from 2017, Gone Girl, released in 2014, and Black Swan from 2010.Christopher Nolan's beloved 2010 Oscar-nominated film, Inception, took home the list's top spot.
Collider complimented the movie, starring Leonardo DiCaprio, Michael Caine, Joseph Gordon-Levitt, and Elliot Page, for its unique script, overall ambiguity, and remarkable practical effects.
Christopher Nolan Shared How the Idea of 'Inception' Came AboutIn a 2010 interview with Tribute Movies, Nolan, who directed and wrote the movie, shared how he came up with the idea of Inception.
"It all really started from just an interest in dreams and the relationship with films and the portrayal of dreams in films. And what I felt I'd never seen was the portrayal of a dream that you could believe in its reality, that is to say, one of the key lines in the film is 'Dreams feel real. Well, we're in them,'" said Nolan during the interview. "And so I wanted to make a film where the experience of dreaming was addressed in that real way, so even as something extraordinary is happening, you're invested in the reality of that world. Because movies, I think, are one of the great ways in which you can open up a world for the audience."
He also said he was interested in the "tension" that having dreams is both "a universal" yet "very private" experience.
"The idea that there might be a technology that would reconcile that tension and remove the barriers between us as we dream, so that we could share the same dream, I think the implications of that are fascinating and kind of frightening, and that's really the whole story," continued the director.
1978 No. 1 Hit, Named 'One of the Funniest' Songs Ever, Was Almost Legally Banned From the Radio
No matter how funny a joke might be, there are bound to be some people who just don't get it. That's what Randy Newman learned when he released the song that would end up being his biggest hit...even if he got death threats over the lyrics.
Released as a single from Newman's 1977 album Little Criminals, "Short People" was written as a hilariously satirical statement against prejudice in general. After declaring "short people got no reason to live," Newman delivers a laundry list of nonsensical complaints:
They got little hands
And little eyes
And they walk around
Tellin' great big lies
They got little noses
And tiny little teeth
They wear platform shoes
On their nasty little feet
The song is obviously meant to be a joke, but plenty of people didn't take it that way. Even though "Short People" went to #2 on the Billboard Hot 100 and #1 on the Cash Box Top 100 in 1978, it caused such an uproar that Newman received a series of threats against his life, according to American Songwriter.
As Newman told Rolling Stone in 2017, he was "surprised by the reaction. Because it was a hit, the song reached people who aren’t looking for irony. For them, the words mean exactly what they say. I can imagine being a short kid in junior high school. I thought about it before I let the record get out. But I thought, 'What the hell?' I know what I meant — the guy in that song is crazy. He was not to be believed."
In an interview withPerforming Songwriter, Newman marveled at the fact that "anyone could believe that anyone was as crazy as that character."

"To have that kind of animus against short people, and then to sing it and put it all in song and have a philosophy on it," he continued. "And yet, there were people who took a genuine beating. I mean, who wants to be bothered, you know, 'here’s your song again, honey, ha, ha, ha.'"
"I almost regret nothing that I’ve written, and I don’t regret that because I like it," Newman added. "But you could make a case for that one. Of course I didn’t mean it, but it doesn’t do any good if someone is going into an office every day and gets ribbed about being short, or 'Mom, I don’t want to go to school today…this damn song' you know. And when they stopped playing it — they got complaints at one station — it just jumped on everywhere else and went to number one really fast and then was gone. It was the biggest single that I have had. And it was probably my biggest album in the U.S."
Indeed, not only did "Short People" — which Record World called "one of the funniest [singles] of any year" — get banned on some radio stations, but a politician in Maryland named Isaiah Dion even tried to get legislation passed that would have made it illegal to play the song on the radio. (This never happened, according to The Baltimore Sun.)
Thankfully, Newman's fans had, and have, a sense of humor.

Donald Trump Jr. Shares First Wedding Video: Bettina's Dress, the Chapel, and a Refreshingly Simple Ceremony
Donald Trump, Jr. just shared a video of his wedding to Bettina Anderson (now Trump), and get ready to shed a tear because it’s even more romantic than you imagined.
The speculation about the couple’s weekend nuptials was non-stop, and now it looks like Don Jr. is clearing the air. President Donald Trump’s eldest son just released a mini montage of the weekend, including the chapel, the guests, the reception, his suit, and, of course, her dress.
During his self-titled “Triggered with Donald Trump Jr.” podcast on Rumble, the Executive VP of the Trump Organization told listeners/viewers, “Got married this weekend. Small ceremony. Just a few friends and family at a friend’s place in the Bahamas. It was absolutely magical. I got to marry the love of my life. Bettina has just been such an amazing person to me. I just have so much fun. I haven't had this much fun, just fun frankly, in a long time. Despite all the nonsense that we deal with, the political prosecutions and persecutions, and campaigns, and ongoing nonsense, it’s just been absolutely amazing.”
He continued, “It was just an awesome, awesome experience.” Along with the ceremony, Don Jr. revealed that the weekend included spear-fishing with his brother and sons, saying, “We made it just like a fun weekend getaway adventure…You know when you go to a wedding, and it usually sucks, and you’re like, ‘I’m at the wedding, and it sucks.’ This was just a fun party for everyone the whole time.”
If you’re wondering whether some, all, or any of the rumors were true, Trump sheds some light on what actually happened, separating fact from fiction: “Don’t believe everything that you read in the press. ‘Cause I’d read one article, then I’d read another article that was the opposite ‘insiders know’. No one knew anything. No one was there. And the people that were there, if you’re on that list, you weren’t talking so. Don’t believe all the nonsense. But it was just an awesome time.”
And then…it’s time to watch the video. The clip starts with the couple walking hand in hand on a scenic sandy beach, playing in the ocean, cuddling, and kissing. While the couple has already shared some seaside content on Instagram, the next part is brand new.
And yes, that's when viewers get the first glimpse of her dress. Even though Bettina is all about glamor, her gown is far from fussy. Simple white silk with spaghetti straps and a deep V-neck makes it the perfect pick for the pair’s tropical getaway ceremony.
Of course, Bettina isn’t the only one we see preparing for the wedding. The camera also catches Don Jr. as he points to the inside of his light, linen-like suit jacket, revealing the letter ”B” inside a heart. Aww.
Trump also treats his fans to a look into the wedding. Bettina radiates love as she glides down the aisle of a teeny tiny chapel. If you expected a lavish event with opulent accents and luxurious opulence, you’re in for a disappointment. This destination wedding is simple, tasteful, and a completely classic affair.

1963 Alfred Hitchcock Horror Classic Is Getting Remade With Sarah Snook
Given his vast filmography, it may be hard for fans to decide which Alfred Hitchcock movie is their all-time favorite.
Despite the controversy surrounding it, The Birds certainly goes down as a memorable title and a genuinely scary moviegoing experience
And now, 63 years later, it's getting remade as a limited series, Deadline reports. The high-profile package, which is being taken out to buyers courtesy of Universal International Studios, has Sarah Snook attached to star.
Per Deadline, the new version of The Birds is described as a visceral, present-day reimagining of Hitchcock’s classic set in Alaska with a murder mystery at the center and new characters, led by a new female protagonist, Myra Massey (Snook). Here's the longer synopsis offered on Friday, May 29:
"Inspired by the film and Daphne du Maurier’s short story on which it was loosely based, The Birds introduces traveling magistrate Myra Massey (Snook) as she returns to her isolated Alaskan hometown for a routine presumptive death hearing, expecting a simple cold case. Instead, she finds her childhood friend’s bullet-ridden body. When Myra is forced to step outside her role as judge to untangle the mystery, nature itself turns hostile with a wave of bird attacks. Now, Myra isn’t just trying to close a case, she’s fighting to survive in a place where death lurks in both the shadows and the skies."
English writer Du Maurier’s 1952 short story was set in her home county of Cornwall, while Hitchcock’s adaptation took place in Bodega Bay, California, as die-hard fans may recall.
Then there's Snook, 38, who most recently starred in All Her Fault — which was a hit for Peacock and is bringing Snook back into the Emmy convesation for her role as a mom whose child is abducted. She previously received three Primetime Emmy nominations for her role as Shiv Roy on HBO’s Succession, winning in 2023. Added to all that, she won a Tony Award last year for The Picture of Dorian Gray.
