Pink brought some extra rock firepower to her Summer Carnival show at SoFi Stadium in Los Angeles on Thursday, October 5.
According to Billboard, the “So What” star’s set featured surprise appearances by Alanis Morissette and Pat Benatar.
Morissette joined Pink for a joint performance of the ’90s classic “You Oughta Know,” off the former’s Diamond-certified album, Jagged Little Pill. Fittingly, the onstage collaboration came just after Pink played her song “Just Like a Pill.”
“You know ‘Just Like a Pill,’ but what about Jagged Little Pill?” Pink asked the crowd in introducing Alanis.
Pink later welcomed Benatar to the stage to perform a mash-up of their respective songs “Just Like Fire” and “Heartbreaker.” The Rock & Roll Hall of Famer has been opening for Pink’s tour alongside her husband and longtime musical partner Neil Giraldo; the LA show marked their final date on the trek.
Along with the rocking collaborations, Pink also brought out a cover of “Babe I’m Gonna Leave You,” which has been performed by Led Zeppelin and Joan Baez.
Pink’s Summer Carnival tour concludes October 9 in Phoenix. She’ll then launch a tour supporting her new TRUSTFALL album October 12 in Sacramento, California.

Guns N’ Roses fans in Phoenix, Arizona, are going to have to wait a little longer to rock out with the band. Ticketmaster reports that the group’s October 11 show at Chase Field has been postponed.
While no reason for the postponement is listed on the site, the Arizona Diamondbacks are likely to blame, as they are set to play an MLB playoff game against the Los Angeles Dodgers at Chase Field that night.
So far, the show has not been rescheduled, but fans are being urged to hold on to their tickets so they can be used on the new date.
Next up, Guns N’ Roses take the stage at Power Trip on Friday, October 6, in Indio, California. A complete list of Guns N’ Roses dates can be found at gunsnroses.com.
(NEW YORK) — Households strained by price hikes received welcome relief in recent days in the form of falling gas prices — and they’re expected to drop even further.
Over the past week, the nationwide average price of a gallon of gas has dropped 7 cents, which amounts to a nearly 2% decline, AAA data shows.
By the end of this month, prices could fall a staggering 50 cents, Patrick de Haan, the head of petroleum analysis at GasBuddy, said on Thursday in a message on X, formerly known as Twitter.
The current nationwide average price for a gallon of gas stands at $3.72, the lowest level since last July, de Haan said. At month’s end, he added, drivers will pay roughly $3.20.
“I expect October will be filled with treats in the form of falling #gasprices for motorists in every state,” de Haan said.
In Georgia, the state with the lowest average gas prices, a gallon costs about $3.18, AAA data shows. In all, the AAA data says, 10 states currently sell gas at or below an average price of $3.35 per gallon.
By contrast, the cost of a gallon of gas in California stands at $5.88, making it the state with the highest prices, AAA data shows. Even in California, however, the average price has fallen about 6 cents over the past week.
Prices in California are expected to fall dramatically in the coming weeks, de Haan said on X. “California will easily fall $1/gal by Thanksgiving, roughly triple the drop we expect in the national average,” de Haan said.
The decline in gas prices owes in large part to a steep drop in the cost of crude oil, the underlying commodity that refineries turn into gas. The price of Brent crude oil has fallen 13% since late last month.
Meanwhile, demand for gas has fallen as the busy summer traveling season has given way to an autumn slowdown, putting additional downward pressure on prices, Andrew Gross, AAA spokesperson, said in a statement on Thursday.
“Drivers are finally seeing some relief at the pump as the seasonal swoon picks up momentum,” Gross said.
Britney Spears’ father, Jamie Spears, is reportedly doing better after being hospitalized with a bacterial infection.
People reports Jamie had been “severely ill,” but he’s since been moved to an infectious disease outpatient facility where he is recovering.
Spears’ father has been battling a series of health problems in recent years. In November 2018, he was hospitalized for 28 days in Las Vegas, where he underwent emergency surgery. Two months later, Britney postponed her Vegas residency, Domination, due to her father’s health, revealing that he almost died. She never rescheduled the residency.
Of course, Britney’s relationship with her father has been strained ever since he put her under a conservatorship in 2008, which she was finally freed from in November 2021. She is ready to tell her side of the story and will share what happened to her in a new biography, The Woman in Me, dropping October 24.
In late September, The Boss pushed all of his remaining 2023 dates with the E Street Band to 2024 in order to give himself more time to recover from peptic ulcer disease. Well, now disappointed fans have something to look forward to, because he’s just revealed he’ll be returning to the stage starting in March of next year.
The rescheduled shows kick off March 19 in Phoenix, Arizona, and run through September 13 in Baltimore, Maryland. So far, postponed Canadian dates have not been rescheduled, but they are expected to be announced next week.
All previously purchased tickets will be valid for the new dates, and fans who can not make the new shows will receive refunds. Info on getting refunds can be found at the official site where the tickets were sold.

(NEW YORK) — None of the Georgia State Police troopers involved in the fatal shooting of Manuel “Tortuguita” Teran will face charges, according to Stone Mountain Judicial Circuit District Attorney George R. Christian.
Teran, who used they/them pronouns, was shot and killed by police on Jan. 18 as officers raided campgrounds occupied by environmental demonstrators who had allegedly been camping out for months to protest the development of the Atlanta Public Safety Training Center, dubbed “Cop City” by critics.
According to an autopsy of Teran sent to ABC News, they did not have gunpowder residue on their hands. Officials claimed Teran fired the first shot at a state trooper. Officers then responded with gunfire.
In Friday’s announcement that no charges would be filed, Christian wrote that Teran responded to officers firing “less lethal” pepperball rounds by “shooting four (4) times his 9 mm pistol through the tent striking and seriously injuring a Georgia State Trooper. Six Troopers returned fire resulting in the death of Teran.”
“The use of lethal (deadly) force by the Georgia State Patrol was objectively reasonable under the circumstances of this case,” Christian wrote. “No criminal charges will be brought against the Georgia State Patrol Troopers involved in the shooting of Manuel Perez Teran.”
Teran had at least 57 gunshot wounds in their body, according to the autopsy, including in the hands, torso, legs and head.
An independent autopsy from the family found that Teran’s hands were raised during the fatal shooting, however, the DeKalb County autopsy stated, “There are too many variables with respect to movement of the decedent and the shooters to draw definitive conclusions concerning Mr. Teran’s body position.”
The DeKalb County Medical Examiner’s Office had ruled the death a homicide.
The Georgia Attorney General’s Office is conducting its own investigation into the shooting.
ABC News’ Jason Volack and Bill Hutchinson contributed to this report.
(NEW YORK) — Soccer player Da’vian Kimbrough had a moment this week unlike most of his fellow 13-year-olds.
On Sunday, Kimbrough made history as the youngest professional athlete in American team sports when he made his debut with the Sacramento Republic, a USL Championship team based in Sacramento, California.
“At first, I was a little nervous but I feel like once I stepped on, it was more exciting than anything,” Da’vian told Good Morning America in an exclusive television interview Friday. “I tried to silence the noise and just play soccer.”
Da’vian, of Woodland, California, made his debut in the 87th minute of Sunday’s game, which Sacramento went onto win 2-0 against the Las Vegas Lights.
At 13 years, seven months and 13 days old, Da’vian beat the previous record held by Axel Kei, who was 13 years, nine months, and nine days old when he made his debut in 2021 for the Real Monarchs, according to ESPN.
After the game, Da’vian said he celebrated his history-making performance with his family and fans.
“I celebrated by going up to my family first of all, of course, taking pictures,” he said. “And then I also went over to fans at the end, to sign some stuff and take pictures.”
Da’vian, a forward, played for the Republic’s training academy for two years before signing with the team in August, according to the team.
At the time of his signing, Da’vian also made history as the youngest American to agree to a professional deal, according to ESPN.
He told GMA that he feels like his skill level really increased three years ago, during the coronavirus pandemic, when he was homeschooled and trained twice a day, both morning and night.
“I feel like that helped push my game to another level,” Da’vian said.
His father, Dominique Kimbrough, told GMA that when Da’vian started playing soccer at age 4, no one could have predicted he would make soccer history less than one decade later.
“I actually just didn’t think it would go this far, at that point. His love for the game took it here,” Kimbrough said. “At 4-years-old, it was just alright, let’s get into something, and then that something turned into this amazing human being that’s sitting here with me right now.”
Both Kimbrough and his wife, Da’vian’s mom, Jessica Cervantes, were college athletes.
Kimbrough said his advice to his son has always been to “just keep working” at his game.
“There’s going to be a lot of noise. As long as you focus on what you want and you continue to work at it, and work hard, whatever you ask and whatever you want can happen, but you have to be willing to put in the work,” Kimbrough said. “That’s a constant conversation for us.”
Da’vian said his advice for other kids is the same, to, “just keep working hard.”
“Persevere through everything, no matter what,” he said. “And everyone has a different path, so even if you don’t make it at the same age as me, keep pushing hard so you can make it eventually.”
Queen is taking a look at some of their favorite performance venues over the years in episode 36 of their weekly YouTube series, Queen The Greatest Live.
“Iconic Venues” has guitarist Brian May and drummer Roger Taylor reflecting on the places they’ve played in their over 50-year career. May shares, “Madison Square Garden in New York was top of the list, that was a mythical place for us.”
For Taylor, the Forum in Los Angeles is a particular favorite. He notes, “They’ve got something magical there. And of course, the audiences are great.”
In 1981, Queen graduated to stadiums playing their first huge gig in South America.
“We went down there with jumbo jets full of gear to play these football stadiums, not knowing if we would sell them out,” May says. “Suddenly, instead of 18,000 people in an arena, we’re playing outside to 100,000 or even more, 150,000 in the case of some of those places in Argentina and Brazil”
But those big audiences were never really a problem for Queen. “I think our music, we wanted it to be big and so I think we could project it and make it work in big places,” Taylor says. “I mean, other people have been good at it as well. I think it was particularly suited to us.”
Speaking of playing big venues, Queen just launched their Rhapsody Tour of North America. The show hits Toronto on Sunday, October 8. A complete list of dates can be found at queenonline.com.
Next week on Queen The Greatest Live: “Bohemian Rhapsody.”
