#WhatsHappening for May 25, 2017

Hi kids- welcome to the verge of the weekend.

In the wake of Monday night's terrorist attack, Ariana Grande has cancelled her shows through June 5th. 

Republic Records, Grande's label, released the following statement yesterday: "Due to the tragic events in Manchester the Dangerous Woman tour with Ariana Grande has been suspended until we can further assess the situation and pay our proper respects to those lost," the statement reads. "The London O2 shows this week have been canceled as well as all shows thru June 5 in Switzerland. We ask at this time that we all continue to support the city of Manchester and all those families affected by this cowardice and senseless act of violence. Our way of life has once again been threatened but we will overcome this together. Thank you."

If the European leg of Grande's tour resumes, her next show would be June 7 in Paris.

A&E's Biography will be relaunched next month with features on the unsolved murders of The Notorious B.I.G. and Tupac Shakur.

The two-part documentary Biggie: The Life of Notorious B.I.G. will debut on June 28th, and Who Killed Tupac?, a six part series, debuts the next night. Of course watching means you have to sit through a fuck-ton of promos for the rest of their least common denominator lineup- which is why I love the DVR.

The Rolling Stones' Ronnie Wood has had a lung lesion successfully removed and is expected to make a full recovery ahead of the band's upcoming tour.

A spokesperson for Wood said in a statement that he is grateful to doctors who found the lesion in its early stages, and Wood isn't expected to require further treatment.

The BBC said today that their Radio 1 Big Weekend Festival would proceed "as planned" in Hull this weekend in the wake of the Manchester attack.

"After conducting a full review of the festival, in conjunction with the police and partners, various extra security measures have been put in place to ensure the safety of those attending," the BBC said. "As part of this, everyone that enters the site will go through two rounds of thorough searches – one round conducted at transport hubs where police will be present, and a second round of security procedures at the entrance gates."

"We ask for the patience and cooperation of anyone coming to the event on the weekend and that they allow extra time to pass through security."

Authorities in Kuwait have captured a homing pigeon carrying nearly 200 pills of ecstasy in a pack on its back.

Al Arabiya reports that authorities say the bird was flying into the country from Iraq and was caught by trackers near the custom's department.

Who knew Kuwait had such a vibrant EDM scene?
