Hey there, kiddios. Welcome to another week.
At least Monday's mostly over.
Pet peeve: The repeated, and incorrect reporting in Gregg Allman's obituary.
Allman did not live in Savannah. He lived in Richmond Hill. Not the same city, not the same county, not the same thing.
Bill Cosby's trial on sexual assault charges began today in Norristown, Pennsylvania.
The BBC's coverage of Ariana Grande's One Love Manchester benefit concert last night averaged 10.9 million viewers and peaked with an audience of 14.5 million according to data released today. That makes it the most-watched show of 2017 on British TV.
Grande was joined by Justin Bieber, Katy Perry, Miley Cyrus, Coldplay, Pharrell Williams, Niall Horan, and Take That for the show, which raised over £2.35 million for the British Red Cross' Manchester Emergency Fund.
Jeffrey Campbell, better known as The Educated Rapper from U.T.F.O., has died following a battle with cancer.
Kangol Kid, Campbell's U.T.F.O. band mate, announced his passing on Instagram.
Campbell was 54.
E! News reports that rapper The Weeknd has donated $100,000 to the Suubi Health Center, a maternity and children’s medical facility in Budondo, Uganda.
The rapper was motivated to make a donation because of French Montana’s work to raise awareness for the health center through the Global Citizen social action platform.
Uber-douche Liam Gallagher says he "would have loved" to have been singer for the Sex Pistols.
I think I speak for millions when I say thank god you A) aren't old enough to have been in the band and 2) weren't.
An recent email to fans from Nine Inch Nails revealed that the band will be releasing a new EP ahead of their upcoming summer shows.
The band released the Not The Actual Events EP last December and says the "new top-secret Nine Inch Nails EP" will be the second of a trilogy of EPs. The third EP trilogy will follow "6-8 months" after this one.
Guns N’ Roses guitarist Richard Fortus says the band is getting ready to begin working on a new album, and Slash and Duff McKagan are on board.
Fortus added that the band hasn't "started recording anything, when I say that, as far as in the studio doing an album. We’ve been recording a lot of stuff, just ideas, assembling ideas, but not going into a studio and actually tracking a new record.""It’s sort of too good not to happen at this point, that’s how I feel about it. This band is really a force right now, and I definitely hope that we do, and I think we’re all sort of counting on it, and we’re also planning on it."
