Seven years after Paul McCartney played a surprise show at Grand Central Station, the Beatle is back with more impromptu New York City concerts.

McCartney played an intimate show at the legendary Bowery Ballroom on Feb. 11, with physical tickets only available at the box office. (McCartney’s Instagram post warned fans: “Avoid purchasing tickets from third-party vendors. Fake tickets will not be honored and entry will be denied.”). The show sold out within 30 minutes.

Following that celebratory evening, McCartney announced a second show, taking place on Feb. 12; tickets once again instantly sold out.

The Rolling Stones have reportedly shelved a forthcoming U.K. and European tour planned for 2025. According to The Times, the rock band has scrapped the idea of hitting the road later this year.

The report says that the group — Mick Jagger, Keith Richards, and Ronnie Wood — was presented with several offers for shows over the summer but dismissed them due to logistical issues surrounding the venues and travel, as well as preexisting commitments.

The shows included a “proposed multimillion-pound visit to Tottenham Hotspur’s stadium,” which the band members rejected.

Legendary English singer Marianne Faithfull has died at the age of 78.

According to a statement from her family, Faithfull “passed away peacefully” on Thursday, January 30th. A cause of death was not immediately disclosed.

A defining voice of the 1960s, Faithfull first rose to fame with the song “As Tears Go By,” which was written for her by The Rolling Stones’ Mick Jagger and Keith Richards. She proceeded to release several more hit singles throughout the decade, but her career became largely overshadowed by her tumultuous personal life, which included a high-profile relationship with Jagger and battles with addiction. Several of The Rolling Stones’ songs were apparently inspired by Jagger and Faithfull’s relationship, including “You Can’t Always Get What You Want,” “Wild Horses,” and “Sister Morphine.”

Jagger remembered Faithfull in a statement released shortly after her passing, writing: “She was so much part of my life for so long.

Back in the Eighties and Nineties, the release of a major rock star memoir was a fairly uncommon event. Noteworthy ones like George Harrison’s I, Me, Mine (1980), Iggy Pop’s I Need More (1982), and David Lee Roth’s Crazy From the Heat (1997) popped up every once in a while, but it wasn’t until the 2000s that this genre started making regular appearances on The New York Times bestseller list, thanks to landmark works like Anthony Kiedis’ Scar Tissue, Bob Dylan’s Chronicles: Volume One, Eric Clapton’s The Autobiography,...

It’s a little hard to say how popular the series Trailer Park Boys is. It went for twelve seasons and this is the fourth movie spin-off, all in the space of over twenty years. Not many shows have been quite as prolific as that. But. I have met very few people who have watched the show and I see very little talk about it online. I am a fan of the show and have been for a good while. Although in truth, it’s been a long time since I’ve opened up my DVD boxset. When I discovered a new movie was out though, I jumped at the chance to see it.

Paul McCartney has set a New Year’s resolution for himself: Finish his next album.

In a short Q&a with fans on his website, McCartney confirmed that he’s “been working on a lot of songs,” but had to put the album “to the side” because of his Got Back Tour (which launched in 2022 and finally wrapped this month with a special London show featuring Ringo Starr and Ronnie Wood).

“I’m hoping to get back into that and finish up a lot of these songs,” McCartney wrote. “So,...

Paul McCartney and Ringo Starr were reunited on stage at London’s O2 Arena on Thursday night.

McCartney brought his Beatles bandmate on to raucous applause before the pair played hits such as “Helter Skelter” and “Sgt. Pepper’s Lonely Hearts Club Band” in what was McCartney’s final show on his “Got Back” tour, which kicked off in April 2022. “Should we rock? Get on your kit la,” McCartney said to Starr as he came on.

It was an emotional moment for the last two surviving members of the Beatles and their audience: “It’s fantastic, playing with me old mate, but there comes a time when we’ve got to go home. All that remains to be said…. I’ve had a great night and I love you all,” Starr said as he departed the stage. The duo have performed several times together since the band broke up in...

Paul McCartney closed out his Got Back Tour on Thursday night at London’s O2 and took the opportunity to reunite with his Beatles bandmate Ringo Starr. During the performance, his last gig of the year, McCartney also introduced the Rolling Stones’ Ronnie Wood and played an old bass guitar that was returned to him earlier this year after being stolen.

Starr joined McCartney during the encore. “We’ve got another surprise for you,” McCartney told the audience. “Bring to the stage the mighty, the one and only Mr. Ringo Starr.

Surviving Beatles members Paul McCartney and Ringo Starr reunited for a rare on-stage performance at the O2 Arena in London on Thursday, as the two teamed up to play “Sgt. Pepper’s Lonely Hearts Club Band (Reprise)” and “Helter Skelter.”

The surprise reunion came during the encore of McCartney’s concert. “Should we rock?” McCartney asked Starr after welcoming him to the stage. “Get on your kit lah!”

Following their two-song performance, Starr remarked, “I’m off now but I’ve had a great night, love you all – especially this man.” McCartney added, “It’s fantastic, playing with me old mate, but there comes a time when we’ve got to go home.”

Thursday’s show also featured an appearance from The Rolling Stones’ Ronnie Wood, who joined McCartney for a performance of “Get Back.”

McCartney and Starr, along with late Beatles members John Lennon and George Harrison will soon...

“Anybody that causes a prison riot singing about whores and cats, that’s my guy!” quips Billy Bob Thornton (Sling Blade), in Standing on the Shoulders of Kitties: The Bubbles and The Shitrockers Story, a film with one of the most bloated movie titles to arrive in recent memory. The plot of this quirky comedy may not be as consistently amusing, but there’s still spunk in this offbeat tale about a frenzied Canadian band that finds themselves opening for Thornton’s band during a European tour.

To be sure, this film may work best for diehard fans of the hit Canadian TV show, Trailer Park Boys, and/or the real-life band featured in it, Bubbles and The Shitrockers. Still, if you’re a Borat fan and a lover of silly comedies or films about beleaguered bands, this film is for you. For others, it’s amusing enough and a...

Wood’s son Tyrone wed Harris’ daughter Faye on Friday (July 26th) in Marylebone, London. As reported by the Daily Mail, around 30 close friends and family members attended the civil ceremony, including Steve Harris, Ronnie and Sally Wood, and Fearne Cotton, Tyrone’s sister-in-law.

Tyrone is a Mayfair art gallery owner and Faye is the co-founder of perfume company Eauso Vert.

Tyrone’s mother and Ronnie’s ex-wife Jo Wood told the Daily Star last March that the couple met on on Raya, a private membership-based dating app for “people in creative industries.” He proposed to Faye in December 2023.

“She makes fragrances and perfumes,” Jo said at the time. “And she is the daughter of Steve Harris — who is the guitarist in Iron Maiden. Isn’t that great?...

The Rolling Stones brought out Tyler Childers in Orlando on Monday night, June 3, for a special performance of their Sticky Fingers classic “Dead Flowers.”

Childers upped the number of guitars onstage to at least four, strumming his acoustic guitar to match Mick Jagger’s while Ronnie Wood and Keith Richards (as always) traded licks on electric. Childers also split vocal duties with with Jagger and added an extra layer of harmony to the country-inspired tune.

Few bands have contributed music to as many great films as The Rolling Stones. The iconic rock band, hailed as one of the greatest of all-time, dominated pop culture throughout the 1960s, and the group continues to be popular today. Songs like “Sympathy For The Devil,” “Sweet Virginia,” “Jumpin’ Jack Flash,” and “Emotional Rescue” have been used countless times in movies, television shows, and trailers. For instance, Stanley Kubrick notably used "Paint It Black" in Full Metal Jacket. But there’s one director that has a particular affinity for the music of Mick Jagger, Keith Richards, Ronnie Wood, and their former bandmates. Martin Scorsese has sampled The Rolling Stones throughout his filmography, but one film’s use of one of their most beloved songs created one of the most iconic moments in his entire filmography.

South Park: Snow Day! changes from RPG to arena fighter, but disappoints fans and critics with lackluster combat and comedy. A lack of small-town realism felt throughout the show's long run is one of the game's biggest disappointments. Players and critics alike find Snow Day short, repetitive, lacking exploration, and recommend waiting for a sale to purchase.

South Park: Snow Day! is the most recent entry in the rejuvenated South Park video game series, which began with 2014's The Stick of Truth and was followed by 2017's The Fractured But Whole. Unfortunately, whereas the previous titles were extremely well received upon their release, parodying the fantasy and superhero genres with the series' trademark sense of humor and 2D animation that made them feel like extended episodes of the show, South Park: Snow Day! has not had as much acclaim.

The previous two titles were turn-based role-playing titles that saw players...

An animated video for Mark Knopfler’s all-star charity single “Going Home (Theme From Local Hero)” – which brought together a stunning lineup of over 60 guitar gods to raise funds for Teen Cancer America and the Teenage Cancer Trust – has been released. It features the final recording of Jeff Beck along with contributions by Bruce Springsteen, David Gilmour, Slash, Ronnie Wood, Joan Jett, Eric Clapton, Pete Townshend, and Sting.

The song came out a week ago, but it was difficult to discern who was playing what part throughout the ten-minute song.

Mark Knopfler has teamed up with a host of fellow guitar legends to record a version of his song “Going Home (Theme from Local Hero)” to raise funds for Teenage Cancer Trust and Teen Cancer America.

The Dire Straits frontman tapped Eric Clapton, Slash (Guns N’ Roses), David Gilmour (Pink Floyd), Brian May (Queen), Tony Iommi (Black Sabbath), Pete Townshend (The Who), Alex Lifeson (Rush), Bruce Springsteen, Ronnie Wood (The Rolling Stones), Joan Jett, and many more, forming what he has dubbed “Mark Knopfler’s Guitar Heroes.” Notably, the star-studded version opens with the final recorded guitar track by the late Jeff Beck.

Knopfler’s longtime collaborator Guy Fletcher handled the production of the track, which might be the greatest assemblage of guitar talent to co-exist on a single song. The Sgt. Pepper‘s-style artwork was created by Sir Peter Blake.

The full song can be heard below now, featuring...

Legendary rock band The Rolling Stones has thrilled fans with the announcement of their upcoming tour of their Hackney Diamonds album, set to take place in 16 cities across the United States and Canada.

Formed in 1962, The Rolling Stones are known for songs like “Start Me Up,” “Gimme Shelter” and “Satisfaction.” The tour, promoted by Aeg Presents’ Concerts West, will kick off on April 28 and conclude on July 17. Lead singer Mick Jagger will be joined by fellow founding members Keith Richards on guitar and Ronnie Wood on guitar, who officially became a member of the band in 1976.

The band is sponsored by AARP, an influential U.S. interest group that focuses on issues that affect individuals over the age of 50. This partnership highlights the appeal and cross-generational impact of The Rolling Stones’ music.

The announcement should come as no surprise to fans, as the band has shown no signs of slowing down after seven decades,...

South Park: Snow Day! is a departure from previous games, focusing on replayability and real-time updates from the show. With a shift to 3D graphics, the game offers more flexibility in creating the world of South Park for players to explore. Players can battle as the New Kid in a live-action role-playing game, choosing sides between Cartman's human alliance or Kyle's elves.

South Park: Snow Day! may be the latest game to chronicle the New Kid's journey in the titular town, but franchise co-creator Matt Stone explained that there's a good reason it's not a true sequel to The Fractured But Whole. The long-running animated series South Park stumbled on gold in 2014 with the turn-based RPG The Stick of Truth, which earned glowing reviews and sold well enough that the aforementioned follow-up arrived in 2017 to even more fanfare. Despite the success of these adaptations, the next game in the...

Dire Straits’ Mark Knopfler has united with over 60 artists — including Bruce Springsteen, David Gilmour, Slash, Eric Clapton, Ringo Starr, Ronnie Wood, Jeff Beck, Pete Townshend, Sting, Brian May, Joan Jett, Nile Rodgers, and Brian May — to create a new version of his 1983 instrumental “Going Home: Theme of the Local Hero.”

The song arrives on March 15, though you can hear a brief sample right now. It’s the final recording Jeff Beck created before his death in January 2023. All proceeds from the release will benefit Teenage Cancer Trust and Teen Cancer America.

The Rolling Stones are coming to a stadium near you.

The rock icons announced a 16-city trek of the U.S. and Canada — Stones Tour ’24 Hackney Diamonds — which kicks off April 28 at Houston’s Nrg Stadium. AARP is sponsoring the tour.

The live shows are in support of the band’s new album, Hackney Diamonds, which was released last month. It features collaborations with Paul McCartney, Stevie Wonder, Elton John and Lady Gaga, who performed alongside Mick Jagger, Keith Richards and Ronnie Wood at their surprise club concert in New York on the album’s release day. Attendees included Daniel Craig, Chris Rock, Mary-Kate Olsen, Trevor Noah, Jimmy Fallon and Elvis Costello.

Tickets for the tour go on sale Dec. 1 and the Stones will visit Inglewood’s SoFi Stadium, Santa Clara’s Levi Stadium, New Jersey’s MetLife Stadium, Atlanta’s Mercedes-Benz Stadium, Philadelphia’s Lincoln Financial Field, Chicago’s...

The Rolling Stones are officially the first act to have newly-charted top 10 albums in the United States in every decade since the 1960s.

Their latest studio album, Hackney Diamonds, which dropped on Oct. 20, debuted on the Billboard 200 albums chart at No. 3.

The band, which is currently comprised of Mick Jagger, Keith Richards and Ronnie Wood after Charlie Watts died in 2021, scored their first top 10 album on the Billboard 200 chart in 1964 with 12 x 5. In total, The Stones claimed 13 top 10 albums in the ’60s, 12 in the ‘70s, six in the ‘80s, three in the ‘90s, two in the 2000s, one in the 2010s and now one in the 2020s.

Hackney Diamonds also extended the rock band’s record as the artist with the most top 10 albums of all time, with a total of 38. Barbra Streisand follows with 34, while The Beatles and Frank Sinatra are tied for third, with 32 each.

The Rolling Stones are back with Hackney Diamonds, their first new album in over 18 years, and to help them kick off their new era is none other than their recent collaborator, Lady Gaga, who joined the Brit rock legends on stage at their album release show in New York City on Thursday night. Watch video of the performance below.

Performing at an intimate club party several hours before Hackney Diamonds officially dropped, the Stones’ Mick Jagger, Keith Richards, and Ronnie Wood delivered a seven-song set of tracks from the new album, including the lead single “Angry.” To close things out, Gaga hopped onstage for the encore: a live rendition of Consequence’s Song of the Week “Sweet Sounds of Heaven,” which features contributions from Gaga and Stevie Wonder on the studio recording.

According to The Hollywood Reporter, others who were in attendance at the star-studded release show include: Daniel Craig,...

The Rolling Stones celebrated the release of their new album with an intimate club performance in New York City, closing the show with a rousing duet with Lady Gaga as Daniel Craig, Chris Rock, Mary-Kate Olsen and more cheered on.

The rock icons performed songs from Hackney Diamonds — including the Gaga-featured “Sweet Sounds of Heaven,” first single “Angry,” “Whole Wide World” and “Bite My Head Off” — hours before the album was released Friday morning. The Stones’ seven-track set also included well-known songs like “Tumbling Dice,” “Jumpin’ Jack Flash” and “Shattered.”

Mick Jagger, Keith Richards and Ronnie Wood played like old friends onstage, enjoying every second of the short performance while the audience watched in awe. Attendees included Trevor Noah, Jimmy Fallon, Elvis Costello, Diana Krall, Taylor Hill, Rachel Weisz, Christie Brinkley, Ed Burns, Keegan-Michael Key, Imagine Dragons’ Dan Reynolds, Minka Kelly, Christy Turlington and Questlove, who deejayed sets before and after the Stones performed.

Like every other Rolling Stones album dubbed the best since 1978’s Some Girls, Hackney Diamonds features enough cringey lyrics, dodgy guitar riffs, and self-plagiarism (such as Keith Richards playing “Tumbling Dice” at the beginning of “Driving Me Too Hard”) to keep it out of the pantheon of their greatest releases. What parts of the album do capture is a genuinely contemporary flair that the Stones haven’t successfully embodied since they triangulated the emerging threads of punk and disco back in the late 1970s.

The album’s crisp, booming drums, hooky choruses, and livewire vocals have a radio-ready sheen without feeling forced, or compromising the Stones’s essential traits. The opening track, “Angry,” hardens the edges around a shiny pop-forward hook with a hit of stadium swagger and a roiling outro that piles on knotty guitar solos from Richards and Ronnie Wood. The fact that the Stones don’t sound...

The making of the Rolling Stones’ forthcoming album, “Hackney Diamonds,” is explored in a new one-hour TV documentary, “The Stones: Still Rolling,” produced by Fulwell 73 and Mercury Studios. Mercury is looking to sell the project at Mipcom, taking place this week in Cannes.

The TV doc is described as “a rare glimpse of the Rolling Stones as they power forward” that is “told vividly through a first-ever roundtable conversation between the band (members)… giving viewers access to places they have never been.”

Asked whether the Stones were planning on selling their post-1971 catalog, Jagger said no, and that while selling things off for a lump sum would make things easier for their heirs, he added that “the children don’t need $500 million to live well. Come on.”

He then suggested that, instead, they might leave that fortune to charity.

Exclusive: Linda Perry, one of the most talented singer-songwriters in popular music, will be the subject of an upcoming documentary from Mercury Studios and Utopia Originals.

Award-winning filmmaker Don Hardy (Citizen Penn) is directing Linda Perry: Let It Die Here, described as “an intimate look at the multi-faceted singer, songwriter and producer.” Perry was the lead singer and principal songwriter for the influential band 4 Non Blondes from 1989-1995, then embarked on a solo career and later founded two record labels. She became a hitmaker for other artists, writing “Beautiful” for Christina Aguilera, “Get the Party Started” for Pink, and co-writing the Gwen Stefani hit “What You Waiting For?” She was inducted into the Songwriters Hall of Fame in 2015.

Linda Perry performs as part of 4 Non Blondes in 1993.

The Rolling Stones have proved their tireless capacity to evolve, with a new documentary helmed by the team behind The Kardashians.

The Sun newspaper reports that Mick Jagger, Keith Richards and Ronnie Wood are marking the launch of their forthcoming album Hackney Diamonds, with a documentary charting the making of the new record.

The Sun quotes a production insider, saying:

“The band have been working with Fulwell 73 on the production. They’re the team behind The Kardashians’ big deal with Hulu.

“The film will chart the band as they started working on the 12 tracks which appear on ‘Hackney Diamonds’.

“It will give followers an intimate and candid look at Mick, Keith and Ronnie as they work their magic in the studio, including the banter between them.”

The film will include tributes to Charlie Watts, the band’s original drummer who died in 2021. He played drums on two of the new album’s tracks.

The Rolling Stones are back with new material for their 24th British and 26th American studio album.

The album, Hackney Diamonds, will be available on October 20. The official announcement came at an event at London’s Hackney Empire Theatre. The event was hosted by Jimmy Fallon.

Fallon talked about the album to Mick Jagger, Keith Richards and Ronnie Wood. In the interview, the trio talked about how they finished the album in February. Jagger said he wanted to make a record that they “really love,” and they hoped the fans would feel the same way too.

At the end of the interview, the Stones showed the crowd and the live stream the world premiere of their music video “Angry,” which featured Euphoria star Sydney Sweeney. The music video features Sweeney riding around in a red convertible while driving past multiple large billboards featuring the Stones in different eras.

"This is the biggest thing ever," said Sweeney. "I didn't know it was going to be the first single but I love the song, it's stuck in my head."

“Angry” is the first single off The Rolling Stones’ brand new studio album “Hackney Diamonds,” available October 20.
