The luxury car company that sued Offset for nearly $1 million over a rented Bentley Bentayga that went missing two years ago has dismissed its lawsuit in Los Angeles after the Migos rapper argued it was filed in the wrong venue. The dismissal was another win for Offset after his lawyers successfully fought a $950,027 default judgment in the case last April. In a new filing obtained by Rolling Stone, Platinum Transportation Group asked the court to drop its February 2021 breach of contract complaint “without prejudice,” meaning the company reserves the...

Tim McGraw has had a busy and productive year so far. Aside from starring in the Yellowstone prequel 1883 with his wife Faith Hill, he also launched The McGraw Tour. Both endeavors have left him little time to dedicate to new music, but the "Down on the Farm" singer says he's working on it."I'm in the middle of it," McGraw tells Country Countdown USA's host Lon Helton as he co-hosted his radio show. "I've probably mixed eight so far, and will record a few more soon."That "few more" should be enough to...

Pearl Jam brought out Johnny Marr to join them on a pair of classic rock covers during the band’s Saturday night at London’s Hyde Park. The Smiths guitarist, who opened for the band Saturday, first came out mid-set for a rendition of Neil Young’s “Throw Your Hatred Down” (off the Young/Pearl Jam collaborative album Mirror Ball), with Marr laying down an extended guitar solo (despite Eddie Vedder encroaching on his personal space). Marr later reappeared to assist in Pearl Jam’s concert-closing performance of the Who’s “Baba O’Riley” to keep their...

Luke Bryan's booty-shaking skills just don't quit -- even when he's doing them from the floor of the stage. The singer recently took a tumble while he was in the middle of a show in Raleigh, N.C., but he quickly turned the embarrassing moment into a chance to ham it up for the crowd.Fan-captured footage shows the singer in the middle of a performance of "That's My Kind of Night," where he was busting out some cheesy dance moves and laughing with the crowd. All that laughing and goofing around...

Kanye West returned to the stage for the first time in nearly five months to deliver his verse from “Eazy” during the the Game’s concert Friday night. The performance marked the first time the rappers’ collaborative single had been played live. The perpetually ski-masked Ye initially simply appeared onstage during the Game’s performance, but after West’s prerecorded vocals first played over the speakers, he grabbed a mic to rap along with the verse. The Game later told the audience that West’s performance was impromptu. “He told me how he was...

Thirty-nine years ago today (July 9, 1983) was a memorable day for Ricky Skaggs: It was on that date that the singer soared to the top of the charts with his single "Highway 40 Blues," from his No. 1 Highways & Heartaches album."Highway 40 Blues" was written by veteran songwriter Larry Cordle, but Skaggs changed one line from "My eyes are filled with bitter tears / Lord, I could use could an ice-cold beer" to "My eyes are filled with bitter tears / Lord, I ain't been home in years" to accommodate...

Sharing an intro of similarly dreamy, plucked guitar, SiR’s latest single “Life is Good” initially feels reminiscent of his Top Dawg Entertainment labelmate SZA’s smash “Good Days.” Yet, whereas SZA tussled with stressors on her track, SiR sounds truly carefree. “Everything but the weather, girl, I got under control,” he sings with his characteristic cool. Guest vocalist Scribz Riley — also one of the track’s producers and a collaborator to Cardi B, H.E.R., and Khalid — puts struggle in his review in his verse. “Like look what a nigga became/I’m...

LeAnn Rimes first experienced stardom much younger than most: She was just 13 years old when she released her debut album, Blue. The 11-song record, named for its award-winning lead single, arrived 26 years ago, on July 9, 1996.Rimes — who grew up as an only child in Jackson, Miss., then Garland, Texas — has been performing on stages since the age of five. She earned spots in local musical theater and TV productions and singing at Dallas Cowboys football games throughout her childhood."I kind of came out singing, and that just developed," she...

Cardi B and Megan Thee Stallion reunited onstage to perform “WAP” for the first time in over a year at London’s Wireless Festival, where both rappers were part of Friday’s lineup. Playing only her second full post-pandemic concert since October 19 — Cardi B officially returned to the stage this past week — the rapper brought out her “WAP” mate for their first performance of the 2020 single together since their controversial bed-in at last year’s Grammy Awards. WAP performed LIVE in the UK for the FIRST time ever at...

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...
