Shawn Mendes announced that he will postpone a slate of upcoming concerts, stating his decision to return to touring was proving difficult to manage. In a social media post, Mendes said the move “breaks his heart,” but spending nearly a decade in the spotlight was beginning to take its toll on the Canadian singer. “After a few years off the road, I felt like I was ready to dive back in, but that decision was premature and unfortunately the toll of the road and the pressure has caught up to...

Temecula Road went through something this year that they saw coming, but couldn't fully prepare for. In March 2022, their longtime member Maddie left the group, leaving Dawson Anderson and his sister Emma Salute to figure out the next steps.While they ended things on a supportive and love-filled note, it did not discount the issue at hand — they had been building their music career on three-person harmonies and even signed a record deal with Warner Music Nashville as a group.“This is something that we want to talk about. It’s such...

In between stops of his massive Mainstream Sellout tour, Machine Gun Kelly is spending some quality time with his daughter Casie.

The rock star is seen starting the rap verse before passing the mic to Casie, who sings into the...

Keith Urban's "Brown Eyes Baby" relies on one heck of a pickup line, especially if you're Keith Urban.The new radio single — his second from a TBA project — returns to a theme that worked once for the country superstar. Fans will think of "Blue Ain't Your Color" when they hear him sing "I can take the blue out of your brown eyes baby" at the end of each chorus.Sonically, the two tracks are worlds apart, but both find Urban saying, "Chin up."Will Bundy, Rodney Clawson, Josh Thompson and Morgan...

The soft, ballad-like intro to King Princess’ new track “Change the Locks” doesn’t prepare listeners for the song’s emotional, explosive chorus, as she sings about the end of a relationship. “So I guess it’s over/’Cause I’m hardly sober anymore/So I guess it’s over/I can hardly hold you anymore,” she sings. “So I guess you’re feeling/Like I steal your space/And you can’t be peaceful/When I’m in your face.” King Princess opened up about the track, co-written with The National’s Aaron Dessner, in a recent interview with Rolling Stone. She said someone...

Austin Burke"Nowhere to Go"Austin Burke is kicking back and taking it easy on his brand-new song, "Nowhere to Go." As he admits in the all-too-relatable first verse, "I'm getting real tired of bustin' my ass / This 9-5 life gets me nowhere fast / All the hustling and bustling just trying to make some cash / Naw I can't be happy when I'm living like that."Penned solely by Burke, the track features a buoyant melody that will pair perfectly with anyone's summertime poolside lounges or beach parties."I wanted something my fans could...

Until this past March, Patti LaFleur had spent the past several years as a carepartner for her mother Linda LaTurner. LaTurner, LaFleur says, was “sunshine in human form” and a constant source of joy for her, even through the harder days of managing her dementia diagnosis. The self-described optimist documented the realities of her mother’s illness to nearly 140,000 people on TikTok, detailing the emotional toll the illness has on families. By the latter half of her illness, LaTurner didn’t recognize LaFleur as her daughter and couldn’t refer to her...

Sixty-six years ago today (July 7, 1956) was an historic day for Johnny Cash: It was on that date that Cash made his debut on the Grand Ole Opry -- and the day he met his future wife, June Carter.Cash performed “I Walk the Line,” “Get Rhythm” and “So Doggone Lonesome" during his Opry debut. At the time of his performance, "I Walk the Line" was still climbing the charts; the now-legendary tune became his first No. 1 hit two weeks later."When I came to appear on the Grand Ole Opry...

Blondie have excavated a work-in-progress demo of the song that became Autoamerican’s “Go Through It” for their upcoming Against the Odds box set. The track, whose scratch title was “I Love You Honey, Give Me a Beer,” features Debbie Harry singing different lyrics and lacks the mariachi horns the band later added — but otherwise, it sounds as polished as the studio version. The group possibly wrote “I Love You Honey” to be included on the soundtrack for the 1980 movie Roadie. Against the Odds: 1974 – 1982 will contain...
