Former President Donald Trump cut short a town hall in Oaks, Pennsylvania, on Monday after two attendees reportedly passed out.

Trump held the event with South Dakota Gov. Kristi Noem (who made headlines in April for executing her puppy and writing about it) and answered a handful of questions from supporters before pausing the town hall due to the attendees requiring medical attention. At some point, Trump joked, “Personally, I enjoy this. We lose weight, you know. No, you lose weight. We could do this — lose four or five pounds.

What began as a town hall with Donald Trump turned into a bizarre spectacle, as the former president hosted a 30-minute listening party featuring songs from artists who have previously threatened him with legal action.

The town hall in Oaks, Pennsylvania on Monday night was repeatedly interrupted by medical emergencies, reportedly due to warm temperatures inside of the venue. Rather than continue to answer questions, Trump decided to instead play songs from his personal playlist, including Rufus Wainwright’s version of “Hallelujah,” Sinead O’Connor’s version of “Nothing Compares 2 U,” Oliver Anthony’s “Rich Men North of Richmond,” Guns N’ Roses’ “November Rain,” and James Brown’s “It’s A Man’s Man’s Man’s World.”

Also played were “Ave Maria,” “Memory” from the musical Cats, Elvis Presley’s “An American Trilogy,” Andrea Bocelli’s “Time to Say Goodbye,” and the Trump rally staple “Ymca.” As seen in clips posted to social media,...

Billy Joel was once again joined by Guns N’ Roses frontman Axl Rose onstage, this time for a cover of Wings’ “Live and Let Die” during Joel’s concert at the new Intuit Dome in Los Angeles on Saturday (October 12th).

Rose previously took the stage alongside the Piano Man on the final night of the latter’s residency at Madison Square Garden in New York City back in July. At that concert, Rose and Joel played three songs together, including “Live and Let Die,” AC/DC’s “Highway To Hell,” and Joel’s 1980 hit “You May Be Right.”

Guitarist Michael Schenker revisits his tenure in the band UFO on his new album, appropriately titled My Years With UFO, which is out today (September 20th). Among the various guest vocalists on the LP is Guns N’ Roses frontman Axl Rose, who sings on the song “Love to Love.”

Schenker was a member of the long-running UK hard rock band from 1972 to 1978, then again for a few brief stints. My Years With UFO focuses on those classic ’70s years during the band’s heyday.

In addition to Rose, the new album features such rock luminaries as Dee Snider, Slash, Joe Lynn Turner, Jeff Scott Soto, Stephen Pearcy, and more.

Rose’s distinctive vocals highlight the new version of “Love to Love,” and further illustrate the influence that UFO had on Guns N’ Roses.

My Years With UFO is the first of three albums that Schenker will release under a new record deal with earMUSIC.

Billy Joel’s Garden residency might be over, but the Piano Man remains touring, scheduling co-headlining stadium gigs with the likes of Sting, Stevie Nicks, and Rod Stewart, who shared the bill with Joel Friday night in Cleveland.

As with the previous shows with Sting and Nicks, there was some crossover between the two sets, with Stewart appearing onstage to perform the Faces’ “Stay With Me” with Joel and his band.

Joel had previously performed the Police’s “Every Little Thing She Does Is Magic” and his own “Big Man...

Bon Jovi gave us some classic rock songs but their catalog doesn’t hold a candle to Guns N’ Roses. One Bon Jovi song sounds like it should have been given to Guns N’ Roses. Here’s a look at one of the most obvious mismatches in rock ‘n’ roll history.

1 Bon Jovi song might have been bigger if Guns N’ Roses sang it

Bon Jovi’s monster album Slippery When Wet earned them two No. 1 singles on the Billboard Hot 100: “Livin’ on a Prayer” and “You Give Love a Bad Name.” The third hit from the album, “Wanted Dead or Alive,” only reached No. 7. That’s a real shame, considering that it’s by far the best of the three songs.

The other real shame is that the song was clearly begging to be performed by Axl Rose. Jon Bon Jovi’s voice sounds more like Rose’s than usual.

AC/DC closed out their 2024 comeback tour with a concert attended by over 82,000 people at Croke Park in Dublin, Ireland.

The rock legends ran through a 21-song setlist, opening with a one-two punch of “If You Want Blood (You’ve Got It)” and “Back in Black.” The evening featured plenty of other hits spanning the band’s five-plus-decade career: “Thunderstruck,” “Hell’s Bells,” “High way to Hell,” “Dirty Deeds Done Dirty Cheap,” and “You Shook Me All Night Long,” among others.

The set also featured two cuts from the band’s 2020 album, Power Up (“Demon Fire” and “Shot in the Dark”), as well as some choice deep cuts from the discography such as “Riff Raff,” “Stiff Upper Lip,” “Shot Down in the Flames,” and “Rock ‘n’ Roll Train.”

A truly explosive encore of “T.N.T.” and “For Those About to Rock (We Salute You)” ended the evening and tour.

Celine Dion denounced Donald Trump and J.D. Vance for using her song, “My Heart Will Go On,” at a rally in Montana on Friday.

Her management team released a statement on behalf of the artist and her record label for the use of the Titanic hit.

“Today, Celine Dion’s management team and her record label, Sony Music Entertainment Canada Inc., became aware of the unauthorized usage of the video, recording, musical performance, and likeness of Celine Dion singing “My Heart Will Go On” at a Donald Trump / Jd Vance campaign rally in Montana,” her official X (formerly Twitter) account posted.

A woman is speaking out on decades-old claims that Axl Rose sexually assaulted her when she was a minor in the 1980s, dating back to before Guns N’ Roses first broke through as one of the biggest rock bands of all time.

Michelle Rhoades has spoken out about her allegations against Rose before, coming forward earlier this year during a press conference about sexual misconduct in the music industry, but she went into much further detail speaking to the podcast over the past two weeks.

The podcast shared several interview...

The world has changed in countless ways since Billy Joel kicked off his monthly Madison Square Garden residency in January 2014. Donald Trump was a mere NBC reality show host at the time, Jeb Bush had good reason to think he was the future of the Republican party, and few people outside the world of virology had heard the term “coronavirus.”

But despite all the changes we’ve lived through, it was a certainty that (barring illness or global pandemic), Billy Joel would play a spectacular show at Madison Square Garden every single month.

Billy Joel made sure his 150th and final residency show at New York City’s Madison Square Garden was a special one. The Piano Man was joined by none other than Axl Rose for three songs during the historic concert.

The Guns N’ Roses singer was introduced by Joel in the middle of the set, receiving a loud roar from the sold-out arena. After the two rock legends embraced, Joel and his band broke into a cover of Wings’ “Live and Let Die” (a song famously performed by Gn’R), with Rose handling lead vocals.

They followed that up with a cover of AC/DC’s “Highway to Hell,” another song Rose is very familiar with, having fronted AC/DC back in 2016 when Brian Johnson had to step away from the band due to hearing issues.

The show resumed without Axl throughout the rest of the main set, but the...

Billy Joel closed out his historic run at Madison Square Garden Thursday night with rock legend Axl Rose for an exuberant performance of Joel’s 1980 hit “You May Be Right.”

The duo also delivered a roaring performance of Guns N’ Roses’ cover of Wings’ “Live and Let Die” and AC/DC’s “Highway to Hell” to the sold-out crowd.

There have been many one-of-a-kind historic events over the last two weeks or so, but arguably — arguably! — the most significant is the release of Katy Perry’s “Woman’s World,” her hilariously catastrophic attempt at a comeback single. Thanks to its brain-dead lyrics (“sexy, confident/ so intelligent”), AI-like chorus, and Perry’s startlingly tone-deaf choice to record a “feminist” song with the likes of Dr. Luke, the song prompted near-universal mockery, and instantly flopped.

“Woman’s World” raises many difficult-to-answer questions. Perry has said its video is meant to be satirical — but...

What is it with Nicolas Cage and evil cults? From the trashy thrills of his Wicker Man remake to the stylized hyper-violence of Mandy, the veteran actor has taken out countless crazed believers throughout the course of his long and varied career, and I don’t think he’s about to stop anytime soon. That being said, there’s only one Nick Cage flick where he gets into a shoot-out with homicidal Satanists while continuing to have sex with a waitress – and that would 2011’s underrated neo-grindhouse thriller, Drive Angry – a near-perfect example of Horror Adjacent cinema.

Hot off the success of 2009’s surprisingly profitable My Bloody Valentine 3D (which I’d argue is one of the best horror remakes of the 2000s), director Patrick Lussier wanted to keep experimenting with new 3D technology in a more action-packed cinematic playground. Inspired by the sleazy exploitation flicks of the 70s (as...

Guns N’ Roses bassist Duff McKagan has long maintained that Duff Beer from The Simpsons was named after him. However, one of the show’s producers and writers has now claimed the showrunners didn’t even know who he was when they dubbed the fictional beer brand years ago.

The Simpsons first aired in late 1989, aligning with Guns N’ Roses rise to fame with 1987’s Appetite for Destruction. So, the timing would have been right for McKagan’s name to have inspired Homer’s cheap beer of choice. The bassist originally claimed he was contacted about the use of his name in his 2011 autobiography, It’s So Easy: and Other Lies.

“When Guns N’ Roses began to break into the public consciousness, I was known as a big drinker,” he wrote. “In 1988, MTV aired a concert in which Axl introduced me — as usual — as Duff ‘The King of Beers’ McKagan.

AC/DC are set to embark on their first tour in eight years later this month, and the legendary rock band has unveiled a photo of its revamped lineup rehearsing for the outing (see below).

The current incarnation of the band includes classic members Brian Johnson (vocals) and Angus Young (lead guitar) alongside rhythm guitarist Stevie Young, drummer Matt Laug, and bassist Chris Chaney.

Stevie, the nephew of Angus, has been with the band for several years, filling in when Malcolm Young was diagnosed with dementia and remaining with the band following Malcolm’s passing in 2017.

Laug made his debut with AC/DC at their comeback gig at the Power Trip festival in Indio, California, this past October after it was revealed that classic drummer Phil Rudd would not be performing with the band.

Chaney, best known for his long tenure in Jane’s Addiction, recently joined AC/DC to...

An industry activist has launched a new initiative calling for major stakeholders to adopt or expand policies to combat sexual abuse in the workplace and in the recording studio, a move that follows a wave of sexual misconduct allegations against high profile artists and executives late last year.

Jet frontman Nic Cester revealed in a recent interview that he auditioned to be the singer of AC/DC in 2016. The job eventually went to Axl Rose, but Cester has quite a story to tell his grandkids one day.

Twenty years ago, Jet were the hottest rock export out of Australia, with hits like “Are You Gonna Be My Girl” and “Cold Hard Bitch” featuring a sound that melded the power of fellow Aussies AC/DC with the garage-rock stylings of The White Stripes.

As Cester told Australian radio station Triple J, he got the call to audition for the vacant AC/DC singer slot when Brian Johnson had to step away from the band due to hearing issues.

“I was staying with my in-laws and I got up in the morning and read the paper and it said that Brian Johnson was not in the band anymore,...

When Slash was putting together the track list for his upcoming blues album, Orgy of the Damned, he had a very distinct voice in mind for his version of Fleetwood Mac’s “Oh Well”: Chris Stapleton.

“His singing cadence and that drawl that he has for this particular song, in my mind’s eye, it sounded perfect,” the Guns N’ Roses guitarist tells Rolling Stone.

But despite Stapleton having opened some shows for Gn’R, Slash didn’t already have a relationship with the country crooner. “I had to...

Four survivor-led advocacy organizations — including those founded by former Fox News anchor Gretchen Carlson and California Governor Gavin Newsom’s wife and filmmaker Jennifer Siebel Newsom — published a letter and report on Wednesday calling for the music business to take further action regarding sexual misconduct across the industry.

A New York lawsuit accusing Steven Tyler of sexually assaulting a model in the Seventies was dismissed on Wednesday, according to court documents reviewed by Rolling Stone.

Judge Lewis Kaplan ruled that plaintiff Jeanne Bellino’s case failed to meet the criteria for New York’s Victims of Gender-Motivated Violence Protection Act because Bellino didn’t allege that Tyler had presented “a serious risk of physical injury” to her.

“We agree with the judge’s reasoning, and are grateful for this result on behalf of our client,” Tyler’s lawyer,...

The Jane Doe who filed a sexual abuse lawsuit against record executive Jimmy Iovine last year dropped her case last week, according to court documents obtained by Rolling Stone.

In a statement to Rolling Stone, Wigdor said “the matter was resolved to the satisfaction of the parties.”

AC/DC are hitting the road for the first time in eight years. The hard rock band announced a European stadium tour Monday morning that kicks off May 17 in Gelsenkirchen, Germany, and wraps up August 17 in Dublin, Ireland.

It’s a new lineup of AC/DC featuring drummer Matt Laug, who played with the group during their one-off Power Trip performance last year, and former Jane’s Addiction bassist Chris Chaney “carrying the torch” for bassist Cliff Williams.

We are thrilled to finally announce the ‘Power Up’ European Tour. Angus,...

AC/DC have announced their first tour in eight years, a 2024 UK/European outing that will take place from May through August. The legendary rock band has also revealed that former Jane’s Addiction bassist Chris Chaney has joined their touring lineup in place of classic member Cliff Williams.

The tour announcement comes after a week of teases on AC/DC’s social media pages. The 21-date outing kicks off in May 17th in Gelsenkirchen, Germany, and runs through an August 17th show in Dublin, Ireland. Tickets go on sale on Friday (February 16th) at various times via Viagogo.

AC/DC last embarked on a full tour in 2016. Part way into that tour, singer Brian Johnson had to step aside due to hearing issues, as Guns N’ Roses’ Axl Rose took over on vocals. Williams also retired from the band after that outing.

Azealia Banks is one of the most controversial rappers who ever lived. So maybe it’s no surprise she once praised John Lennon’s most offensive song. The tune proved offensive even at the time, and some radio stations didn’t want to play it, irrespective of John’s progressive intentions.

Azealia Banks said this John Lennon song is 1 of the best songs ever

During a 2021 interview with Rolling Stone, Banks was asked if social media had become a bigger deal in the world of music than music itself. “Yeah,” she replied. “But it’s not music. They’re selling ideas, lifestyles, whatever comes out of liberal academia’s a**.

AC/DC are teasing a major announcement for Monday, February 12th. Fans are speculating that the news could be the legendary rock band’s first run of tour dates in eight years.

The Rock & Roll Hall of Fame act has posted video teasers on its social media sites, with the words “Are You Ready” and audio of the song by the same name from the 1990 album The Razors Edge.

A clip on Wednesday (February 7th) included the number “5,” implying the announcement was coming in five days. And a countdown clock on the band’s official website is scheduled to end at 3 a.m. Et on Monday.

AC/DC performed their first show in seven years at the Power Trip festival in Indio, California, back in October. However, that was a one-off performance. They haven’t embarked on a proper tour since 2016.

The Power Trip gig featured singer Brian Johnson, lead guitarist Angus Young,...

Guns N’ Roses have unveiled an AI-generated music video for their recent single “The General.” The animated clip intersperses a narrative story with footage of the band performing live.

“The General” was officially released in December following its live debut a month earlier. It’s also paired with the band’s previous single, “Perhaps,” on a 7-inch vinyl version. Both songs started out as unreleased demos from Guns N’ Roses’ Chinese Democracy sessions, but were newly re-recorded with guitarist Slash and bassist Duff McKagan, who rejoined the band in 2016.

The video shows Axl Rose and the other band members performing the song, as their human forms become animated versions of themselves. Per a press release, “Between the concert footage, [the video] dives into the subconscious of a young boy who stares down the monsters of dark childhood memories, blurring worlds in the process. The result is unlike anything the band has done...

The Smiths’ Johnny Marr has taken to Twitter to express his disappointment over the usage of his former band’s songs at Donald Trump’s campaign rallies.

It started on Monday night when journalist Ben Jacobs tweeted that The Smiths’ “Please, Please, Please, Let Me Get What I Want” was being played as the pre-rally music for a Trump speech in Laconia, New Hampshire. Then, journalist Soo Rin Kim replied with a video clip of the song being played at a rally in Rapid City, South Dakota last year — an odd sight that would be even more juxtaposing if it weren’t for the fact that Trump definitely likes to get what he wants.

Now, replying to Kim’s video, Marr has made it clear that he isn’t having any of it. “Ahh…right…Ok,” he wrote. “I never in a million years would’ve thought this could come to pass.

When Connor MacLeod says “There Can Be Only One” in the original Highlander he had no idea he’d be repeating that line for years. Just when he thinks he has finally made it to be the only one, another immortal seems to pop up, challenging him for that title. How many “ones” can there be? It turns out a lot.

After the problems with making Highlander II and the anemic box office for it, it was decided to completely ignore everything surrounding that film and create a direct sequel to the original film. They dropped any mention of the planet Zeist, ignored that immortals are supposed to be aliens, and reverted the setting to seven years after the first film.

Even under the best of circumstances, films are hard to produce. How does one fare after completely rebooting the franchise? Surprisingly well. The creation of Highlander 3: The Final Dimension is far from perfect,...

American Idol producer Nigel Lythgoe has been added to the list of those sued for sexual assault.

The lawsuit was filed by Paula Abdul on Friday and claims that Lythgoe sexually assaulted her.

Lythgoe denied those claims and told media outlets that he was “shocked and saddened by the allegations made against [him].” He then continued to say that he and Abdul “have interacted as dear, and entirely platonic, friends and colleagues.”

“I want to be clear: not only are they false, they are deeply offensive to me and to everything I stand for,” he said. “While Paula’s history of erratic behavior is well known, I can’t pretend to understand to understand exactly why she would file a lawsuit that she must know is untrue. But I can promise that I will fight this appalling smear with everything I have.”

In addition to Lythgoe, 19 Entertainment Inc., FremantleMedia North America Inc.

Jermaine Jackson is being sued for allegedly sexually assaulting a woman in 1988.

The lawsuit, filed on December 27 by Rita Butler Barrett, charges Jackson with sexual battery, battery, sexual assault and negligence.

In addition to suing Jermaine himself, Barrett is also suing his company, Jermaine L. Jackson Music Productions, and Work Records Inc.

Barrett alleges that Jackson showed up at her house unannounced and then assaulted her. She claims that she met Jackson through her work as a music contractor.

“Defendant Jackson forced himself into Plaintiff’s home, and with force and violence sexually assaulted Plaintiff,” the suit stated. “During the assault, Plaintiff, a woman of faith prayed to God for help. During the assault, Plaintiff feared for her life. After the assault and when Defendant Jackson was satiated, he left the residence.”

Motown founder Berry Gordy is also cited in the lawsuit, as Barrett claims that Gordy protected Jermaine for financial reasons.

Paula Abdul is suing American Idol and So You Think You Can Dance executive producer Nigel Lythgoe, along with the series’ production companies, alleging that Lythgoe sexually assaulted her during her tenure judging the shows.

According to the lawsuit, which was filed in Los Angeles Friday and has been reviewed by our sister site Rolling Stone, Abdul is accusing Lythgoe of sexually assaulting her during an early season of American Idol, and again in 2014 while she was judging So You Think You Can Dance.

A reality series featuring Sean “Diddy” Combs that was in early stages at Hulu has been scrapped, The Hollywood Reporter has learned.

Production company Fulwell 73 was behind the project that would have focused on the music mogul’s family life. This news follows four suits having been filed against Combs since November, with three of them coming prior to the deadline to bring a claim under New York’s Adult Survivors Act. Combs has denied the allegations.

The latest complaint was filed in New York federal court last week by a woman suing as Jane Doe, who alleged that the rapper and former Bad Boy Entertainment President Harve Pierre raped her in 2003 when she was 17 years old.

Three previous suits were filed in November, including one from Joi Dickerson-Neal, who appeared in one of the star’s music videos and claimed that he drugged and raped her when she...

Guns N’ Roses have officially released the new single “The General” after giving the song its live debut in early November at the Hollywood Bowl in Los Angeles. The studio version is now available on all major streaming services, and can be heard below.

“The General” is the B-side to the vinyl edition of “Perhaps,” another new Gn’R song that was released earlier this year. The vinyl begins shipping today via Guns N’ Roses’ official merch store.

Both “The General” and “Perhaps” were originally written during sessions for 2008’s Chinese Democracy album, but were never released. The new recordings feature guitarist Slash and bassist Duff McKagan, who rejoined the band in 2016, alongside singer Axl Rose and other current and former members of Gn’R.

Guns N’ Roses have released a new single, “The General.” The slow-building, guitar-led song marks the rock band’s second track of 2023 following “Perhaps,” which dropped in August.

Last month, Guns N’ Roses debuted “The General” live during their two-night stand at Los Angeles’ Hollywood Bowl. The song has been floating around for years. In 2007, Sebastian Bach spoke about the track in an interview, saying, “It’s by far the heaviest metal tune I think I’ve ever heard Axl [Rose] do, this slow, grinding riff with these high, piercing vocals,...

Another sexual assault lawsuit has been filed against Sean “Diddy” Combs, this time by a woman who alleges she was “sex trafficked and gang raped” by the music mogul when she was 17 years old, in 2003.

The complaint, filed in New York federal court on Wednesday, marks the fourth suit filed against Combs in the past three weeks, during which he resigned as chairman of hip-hop TV network Revolt. It also names Harve Pierre, former president of Bad Boy Entertainment, and alleges a third unnamed assailant.

In a statement, Combs denied the allegations and said: “I did not do any of the awful things being alleged.

“For the last couple of weeks, I have sat silently and watched people try to assassinate my character, destroy my reputation and my legacy,” the mogul’s statement said. “Sickening allegations have been made against me by individuals looking for a quick payday.”

According to the complaint,...

The surge of sexual-abuse lawsuits that hit some of the music industry’s most powerful figures last week isn’t over yet, several lawyers tell Rolling Stone.

Last week, as the window for New York’s Adult Survivors Act (Asa) was nearing a close, it brought forward one of the widest sets of allegations to hit the industry in years as renowned artists and executives including Axl Rose, Sean “Diddy” Combs, L.A. Reid, and Jimmy Iovine all faced lawsuits that detailed allegations of sexual abuse.

The act — which opened...

Sean “Diddy” Combs has resigned as chairman of hip-hop TV network Revolt, the company said Tuesday, as he faces multiple sexual assault and battery accusations dating back to the early 1990s.

Revolt said that Combs has stepped down to ensure that the network “remains steadfastly focused on our mission to create meaningful content for the culture and amplify the voices of all Black people,” according to a company statement posted on Instagram.

“Our focus has always been one that reflects our commitment to the collective journey of Revolt — one that is not driven by an individual, but by the shared efforts and values of our entire team on behalf of advancing, elevating and championing our culture — and that continues,” said the statement, which noted that Combs didn’t have an operational or day-to-day role in the business.

On Thursday, two women sued Combs for sexual assault under New York’s Adult Survivors Act,...

Sean “Diddy” Combs is stepping back as chairman of his company Revolt Media in the midst of multiple sexual assault lawsuits, a rep confirmed.

There was no statement today. But last week his representatives called claims “fabricated” and “falsely alleging misconduct from over 30 years ago and filed at the last minute. This is nothing but a money grab. Because of Mr. Combs’ fame and success, he is an easy target for anonymous accusers who lie without conscience or consequence for financial benefit. The New York Legislature surely did not intend or expect the Adult Survivors Act to be exploited by scammers. The public should be skeptical and not rush to accept these bogus allegations.”

The reference is to the New York’s Adult Survivors Act, which provides a one-year window for sexual assault plaintiffs to file civil claims, regardless of the statute of limitations. That window closed November 23. Three suits against Combs,...

A lawsuit filed on Wednesday accused Guns N’ Roses frontman Axl Rose of using “fame, status and power” to rape a Penthouse Pet in a Manhattan hotel room in 1989.

Model Sheila Kennedy alleged that Rose violently attacked and raped her after the two met in a New York nightclub. According to the lawsuit, Kennedy had been invited to the club by a Guns N’ Roses fan, though she was not one herself.

After meeting Kennedy, Rose allegedly invited her to his hotel room but did not allow the friend to come, as she was “not hot enough.”

Rose supplied Kennedy and his other guests with cocaine, champagne and other substances. The lawsuit states that the two shared a kiss, and Kenedy was “open to sleeping with [Rose] if things progressed and they continued to find each other attractive.”

Kennedy became uncomfortable when Rose began having “aggressive” sex with another female model in front of her.

Rapper Sean ‘Diddy’ Combs has been sued for sexual assault for the second time in a week.
