Katy Perry found herself stuck in Nashville Wednesday night, after a malfunction left her suspended in mid-air.
"I'm really stuck," Perry told attendees. "This is the first time that I've been stuck in space. I know I'm kind of a space cadet, but actually this thing is being stuck right now."

Want to find your "true funk potential"? Bootsy Collins says it's not all that difficult, if you just follow these guidelines:
- Manifest Your Future: Collins says he spent his childhood days drawing stick figures with star-shaped glasses. By the time the 60s rolled around, when he was "taking LSD and seeing all those colors. We had the hippie days coming through, and I grew up in that. We got a lot of encouragement about style."
- Give Back: The Bootsy Collins Foundation, established in 2011, provides musical instruments to disadvantaged schools. "The slogan is, 'Say it loud: An instrument for every child.'" Collins and his wife, Patti, run the Foundation.
"Music class made me want to go to school- and (made it) worth going through math and science."
- Stay Loyal: Collins prefers to perform with those familiar to him. He praised Parliament/Funkadelic keyboardist Bernie Worrell, who died in 2016, saying "Whatever I put down, he made it sound like it was right. That’s magic."
- Learn From Legends: Collins began his career as bassist in James Brown's backing band and he clashed with notoriously strict bandleader Brown- though it was always a bad thing. "I never had a father in the house, and he taught me that discipline. I needed that," he says about Brown’s rules. "But when I got with George (Clinton), he allowed me to really find myself and do anything I wanted."
- Find Peace: Collins says that he wants his new record, World Wide Funk, to spread a message of fun and positivity in a world overwhelmed by tragedy and sadness. "I felt this record should be more upbeat because people are kind of down; a lot of negative stuff going on. We ain’t got no balance no more. And funk is here to help funk that up."
World Wide Funk hits stores October 27.
Birthdays today include: Paul Wilson of Snow Patrol (38); Snoop Doggy Dogg (45); Dannii Minogue (46); Jim Sonefeld of Hootie & The Blowfish (53); Mark King of Level 42 (59); Al Greenwood of Florida (66); Rick Lee of Ten Years After (71); and Wanda Jackson (79).
Today also would've been Tom Petty's 67th birthday.
