In April, Blondie drummer Clem Burke passed away at age 70 after a private battle with cancer. The legendary band was already slated to release a new album this year, and now they’ve revealed it’ll be coming out in the last quarter of 2025.

Last month Daniel Caesar was one of many guests on the sprawling Blood Orange single “The Field,” and more recently he had production credits on Justin Bieber’s SWAG. Now the Toronto R&B singer-songwriter is teasing his own new album called Son Of Spergy, which features Bon Iver, Clairo, Dev Hynes, Sampha, and more.

The Belgian EDM festival Tomorrowland was off to a horrific start when the main stage burned down the day before the event was supposed to begin. However, Metallica have come to the rescue by offering the stage from their M72 World Tour.

In 2023, Charli XCX and George Daniel got engaged. The following year, the pop star took over the world with Brat. Recently Charli has been taking a step back from music to partake in various acting projects, and today she and the 1975 drummer got married.

Katy Perry’s Lifetimes Tour has been a nightmare. A few weeks ago the singer got trapped inside a malfunctioning metal sphere at a show in Australia. Last night she nearly fell off a malfunctioning butterfly prop as she soared above the crowd in San Francisco.

Never would I have thought, here in the grand year of 2025, salacious gossip would break out as the result of a Coldplay concert. But, earlier this week at Foxborough’s Gillette Stadium, Chris Martin spilled the tea on a current affair. A kiss cam caught Andy Byron, the married CEO of data infrastructure company Astronomer, in an embrace with the firm’s HR chief Kristin Cabot, who is not his wife. As you no doubt saw by now, the coworkers tried to hide as tens of thousands of concertgoers watched on Gillette’s big screen. “Either they’re having an affair or they’re just very shy,” Coldplay frontman Chris Martin quipped. As video footage of the awkward moment went super viral the morning after the show, the internet had a field day with memes and Byron’s wife dropped his last name from her Facebook profile. Now there are workplace consequences for the two Coldplay fans at the center of the story.

Last year, metal fans were spurned by the Capulet Fest, a three-day metal festival that was supposed to happen at Connecticut’s Thompson Speedway on June 28-30, 2024. Over the course of a few days, the festival slowly deteriorated: capacity was lowered, then bands were axed, until finally the last day was fully cancelled. Now there is closure for those that requested refunds to no avail.
