Roswell, Georgia, native Vincent Mason is undergoing a major life change these days, as he enjoys the top-20 success of his debut single, “Wish You Well.”

“I’m just glad it’s going well. Being on country radio is really cool,” he tells ABC Audio. “For me, growing up in Georgia, I think everybody always knew what was on the radio. Whether you’re really a fan or not, you just heard it at the gas station or whatever in the grocery store. So it’s cool for me to be on country radio.”

Vincent’s currently playing Australia with Jordan Davis, before he kicks off seven stadium dates with Morgan Wallen April 10 in Minneapolis. 

“There’s a lot of things that came through that have been really cool this year,” he says. “That one was by far the one that stopped the most people in their tracks, especially like my family. And they’re all just kind of like, ‘Well, damn, that’s pretty cool!'”

Vincent’s cool gigs don’t end there. In June, he starts a stint with Parker McCollum that goes through the end of September.

Backstreet Boys were the first pop act to have a residency at Sphere Las Vegas, but so far, there haven’t been any solo pop acts who’ve done it. However, that might be changing.

The Las Vegas Review-Journal reports that Pink is “all but signed” to play the venue in 2027, though there have been no official confirmations or denials. Pink reportedly looked into Vegas venues as far back as 10 years ago, the outlet reports, but nothing ever came of it, perhaps because at the time, there were no venues available that could accommodate the aerial tricks that make up a big part of her shows.

The Sphere, however, can definitely accommodate those kinds of stunts, with a ceiling that’s 366 feet high. That’s about the length of a football field standing on its edge.

Pink’s most recent tour wrapped up in November 2024. She and her family recently moved to New York City to help her daughter Willow Sage Hart pursue her Broadway dreams.

No Doubt will make their Sphere debut starting in May, while previous headliners Kenny Chesney, the Eagles and Phish are returning for more shows. Metallica will start their residency in October, and Mexican artist Carin León will perform there in September.

The Grammy Museum in Los Angeles has announced a new exhibit dedicated to Sublime. 

Among the items going on display include handwritten lyrics to the songs “Wrong Way” and “Garden Grove,” used instruments and equipment, rare photos, and the bucket hat late frontman Bradley Nowell wore in the video for “Badfish.”

“It’s incredible that we have sold so many albums and have not toured or wrote new music in 30 years — a true testament to our fans for keeping this dream alive,” says drummer Bud Gaugh in a statement. “Seeing the Grammy Museum celebrate this chapter of our story with an exhibit is really meaningful to us. Thank you to the fans for all of the support, you are all crazy and we are crazy in love with you!”

The Sublime exhibit will be open from March 27 to Sept. 7. You can buy tickets now via GrammyMuseum.org.

Sublime disbanded in 1996 following the death of Nowell. They reformed in 2023 with Nowell’s son, Jakob Nowell, alongside original members Gaugh and bassist Eric Wilson.

A new Sublime album, the first in 30 years, is due out later in 2026.

The new Peaky Blinders movie, Peaky Blinders: The Immortal Man, is in select theaters now and will debut on Netflix Friday. To coincide with the release, its star Cillian Murphy has shared his choices for the ultimate Peaky Blinders playlist, and that includes“Lazarus” from David Bowie’s final album, Blackstar.

It turns out, Bowie had a real connection to the series, which debuted on Netflix in 2014, and always wanted his music to be a part of it.

In a interview posted to Instagram, Murphy says Bowie was “a very early advocate of the TV show,” noting, “He loved it from the start when many people didn’t.”

“I worked with him briefly in the year before he died and we’d spoke about it,” he says. “He told me how much he loved it and then I sent him the cap that I wear in series 1 with the razor blade in it and everything. And he sent me back a picture of him wearing it, which I treasure.”

Murphy says after Bowie died in 2016, they found out he had wanted songs from Blackstar to be used in the show.

“We were all like speechless and just kind of overwhelmed and just beyond moved,” Murphy says. “And then we tried to use them in a fitting way and I think that it really works.”

Also included on Murphy’s playlist is Black Sabbath’s “War Pigs.” Murphy notes “you could draw some line” between his character Tommy Shelby and Ozzy Osbourne. “Kind of rebels, both of them,” he says.

The list also includes songs by Sinéad O’Connor, Leonard Cohen and Radiohead Thom Yorke.

(SPOILER ALERT) Bridgerton season 4 is continuing its reign atop the Netflix charts, having danced its way into its seventh week as part of the platform’s Top 10 TV chart.

Millions of fans are still swooning over Benedict (Luke Thompson) and Sophie’s (Yerin Ha) love story. There’s a specific moment in the sixth episode of the season that had fans reeling. Sophie reveals to Benedict that her mother was a maid and that her father was Lord Penwood. In return, Benedict shares a secret of his own: he’s been intimate with men in the past.

Thompson spoke to ABC Audio about how these confessions allowed the pair to finally communicate and see each other in new ways. He said one of the reasons he loves the moment is because it is not your usual coming out scene.

“It’s atypical in that, and that’s always been the case with Benedict … sex hasn’t been something he’s ever been particularly scared or worried about,” Thompson said. “Him opening up to Sophie like that feels like something he is doing for Sophie as a gesture of openness rather than to get something off his chest.”

Thompson truly believes Benedict when he tells Sophie he refuses to be ashamed about the confession.

“That doesn’t feel like a cover,” Thompson said. “I think that’s genuinely true. And quite distinctive, I think, for a male character to feel no shame like that.”

The actor said it “feels like it’s a real gesture for Sophie rather than something that he’s trying to sort out for himself.”

“I think that’s refreshing,” he said.

Part 2 of Bridgerton season 4 arrived to Netflix on Feb. 26. All episodes are streaming now.

The story of the Oasis comeback is turning out to be quite a long one to tell.

According to Steven Knight, who’s producing a documentary on the “Wonderwall” outfit’s 2025 reunion tour, the length of the upcoming film currently rivals that of the extended versions of the Lord of the Rings movies.

“We’ve got it down to four hours,” Knight tells the Project Big Screen podcast. “So we’ve gotta get it down.”

Knight further describes the movie as “a documentary with a plot.”

“It’s actually got a story, and then we’ve expanded it,” Knight says. “You’ll see when you see.”

It also sounds likes a good portion of the four hours will be filled with memorable lines from brothers Noel Gallagher and Liam Gallagher.

“They’re just one quote after another,” Knight says. “They’re just so funny.”

Oasis’ reunion tour marked the band’s first live shows in 16 years, and officially ended the long-running feud between the Gallagher brothers.

(WASHINGTON) — In a rare public appearance, Chief Justice John Roberts on Tuesday addressed criticism of the Supreme Court, the federal judiciary and individual judges, saying “personally directed hostility is dangerous, and it’s got to stop.”

Roberts spoke generally about attacks on courts and judges, which have surged in recent years, during a conversation with U.S. District Court Judge Lee Rosenthal at the Baker Institute at Rice University.

He did not address any specific criticism or controversy, though the comments come at a time of heightened scrutiny of the court’s recent landmark decisions on presidential power.

“It does come with the territory,” Roberts said of criticism. “It can very much be healthy. We don’t believe that we’re flawless in any way. It is important that — important that our decisions are subjected to scrutiny, and they are. The problem sometimes is that the criticism can move from a focus on legal analysis to personalities.”

Violent threats against individual judges and justices have spiked, according to law enforcement officials. Four years ago, a man was arrested outside the home of Justice Brett Kavanaugh with the intention of assassinating him. He was later convicted and sentenced to eight years in prison.

Roberts was careful to say that no “one political perspective” is responsible for the threats, but that as they become more “personal” they “can be actually quite dangerous.”

“Judges around the country work very hard to get it right,” he said, “and if they don’t, their opinions are subject to criticism. But personally directed hostility is dangerous, and it’s got to stop.”

The remarks came on the heels of a fresh wave of criticism of the Supreme Court from President Donald Trump, who has accused Roberts and several of his peers — some of whom Trump appointed to the court — of being “disloyal” and “unpatriotic” after they ruled against his sweeping global tariffs program. Trump alleged on Monday that the court is a “weaponized and unjust political organization” that is “hurting our country.”

Trump has also singled out U.S. District Judge James Boasberg for intense criticism after Boasberg on Friday blocked the Justice Department’s subpoenas of Fed Chair Jerome Powell as part of a criminal investigation into his handling of a multibillion-dollar renovation of the Federal Reserve Building.

Last year, Trump called for Boasberg’s impeachment after the judge temporarily blocked the administration’s fast-tracked deportations to Venezuela. The comments prompted a rare public response at the time from Roberts, who said in a statement that impeachment was not an appropriate recourse for a losing party in a case.

Overall, Trump has had a favorable track record at the high court during the first year of his second term, winning nearly every emergency request of permission to move forward with controversial policies being litigated in lower courts. He has also benefitted from a 2025 landmark ruling that limited the ability of judges to issue nationwide injunctions and a sweeping 2024 decision granting presidential immunity from criminal prosecution.

“I actually try not to read outside criticism too much,” Roberts told Rosenthal. “And it’s, you know, just because you’re on to something else, and you don’t want to worry too much about — you’ve done your best and that’s all you can do.”

(WASHINGTON) — After NATO allies rebuffed his call to assist the U.S. in securing the critical Strait of Hormuz, President Donald Trump said on Tuesday the U.S. doesn’t need their help after all.

“I think NATO’s making a very foolish mistake,” Trump said, airing out his grievances with the transatlantic alliance during an Oval Office meeting with Ireland’s Taoiseach Micheál Martin.

“This was a great test because we don’t need them, but they should have been there,” the president added.

Trump over the weekend requested U.S. partners in Europe and Asia send warships to help police the strait, where roughly one-fifth of the world’s oil supply is caught in the crosshairs of the U.S. and Israeli war with Iran.

No country has publicly announced plans to send ships or other kinds of assistance to unblock the strait.

“This is not our war; we did not start it,” German Defense Minister Boris Pistorius said on Monday.

“We will not be drawn into the wider war,” British Prime Minister Keir Starmer similarly said.

Despite the cold shoulder from several allies, President Trump on Monday said that “numerous countries” had told him “they’re on the way.” Trump did not identify which countries, and said that Secretary of State Marco Rubio would soon provide a list.

As of Tuesday afternoon, no list had been released.

When asked what countries would join in a coalition to secure the strait, Trump said he’s had “great support from the Middle East” including Qatar, the United Arab Emirates, Saudi Arabia, Bahrain and “of course Israel” — but did not explicitly say what those countries would be doing.

In a social media post on Tuesday, Trump wrote the U.S. military had been “informed by most of our NATO ‘Allies’ that they don’t want to get involved with our Military Operation against the Terrorist Regime of Iran, in the Middle East, this, despite the fact that almost every Country strongly agreed with what we are doing, and that Iran cannot, in any way, shape, or form, be allowed to have a Nuclear Weapon.”

Trump said the U.S. didn’t need the assistance from those countries, or from “Japan, Australia and South Korea.”

“Well, we don’t need too much help, and we don’t need any help, actually,” Trump later said in the Oval Office.

When asked if he would retaliate against NATO countries for not heeding his call or if he was rethinking the alliance, Trump said no.

“I have nothing currently in mind. But I will say that I’m not exactly thrilled,” Trump said.

Trump pointed to the assistance the U.S. provided to help Ukraine fight Russia’s invasion under the Biden administration as he criticized NATO for not stepping in to help with reopening the Strait of Hormuz.

“You would have thought they would have said, ‘We’d love to send a couple of minesweepers,'” Trump said. “It’s not a big deal. It doesn’t cost very much money. But they didn’t do that. So, you know, it’s — I think it’s very unfair to the United States, not to me, but to the United States.”

Meanwhile, the impact of Iran’s stranglehold is being felt abroad and at home. The price of oil has hovered around $100 a barrel this week. In the U.S., the national average for a gallon of gas is $3.79 — up about 88 cents from a month ago.

President Trump had also called on China, which Iran is still allowing to transit the Gulf, to assist in the Strait of Hormuz. The response from China’s foreign ministry was a call for all parties to immediately stop military operations.

President Trump announced Tuesday that his previously planned trip to China is now postponed for five to six weeks. Trump didn’t provide details on why, only that he was “resetting the meeting” originally scheduled for early April.

“I look forward to seeing President Xi. He looks forward to seeing me, I think,” Trump said.
