Garth Brooks officially returned to the stage over the weekend, hitting Las Vegas’ Allegiant Stadium for the first post-pandemic stop on his Stadium Tour on Saturday.
And while he admits he was “nervous as hell” before the set began, Garth says he always had a sneaking suspicion that it was this show, on this date — July 10 — that would be the one to kick off his return to the road.
“When I saw the date — July 10 — that’s my mom’s birthday. And Mom — nothing was impossible,” he explains. “She was five foot tall, and nothing was impossible to her. So when I saw July 10, I said, ‘I betcha 10-to-1 this is the one. It’s gonna happen.’”
Once he got back onstage and got into the live show groove, Garth explains that the show kept building in momentum as he, his band and the audience were feeding off each other’s energy.
“It was one of those things where you were out of body! And the band and they were going back and forth,” the singer gushes. “It was great! And everybody won!”
Garth will keep the party going in the days ahead, as his Stadium Tour is scheduled to hit Salt Lake City for a sold-out stop this Saturday, July 17. At the end of the month, he’ll head to Nashville for a hometown show, which is also sold out.

The identity of Megadeth‘s new bass player will be revealed “soon,” according to frontman Dave Mustaine.
In a new Cameo video for a fan, which was posted on Reddit, Mustaine shared the briefest of views of the mystery bassist, who can be seen lying on the floor of a recording studio, with a chair blocking his face and identity.
“We will be saying who that is soon,” Mustaine comments in the video.
“You actually saw him before anybody else,” he adds, referring to the Cameo recipient. “Even though you can’t really see him.”
The new bassist will be taking the place of founding member David Ellefson, who was dismissed from Megadeth in May after sexually explicit video of him interacting with a woman leaked online. Ellefson has characterized the video as “private, adult interactions,” and is pursing revenge porn charges against those that leaked the footage.
Following Ellefson’s firing, Mustaine said that the bass parts he had recorded for Megadeth’s new album would be replaced by someone new. Presumably the new bassist will also be playing with Megadeth on their upcoming Metal Tour of the Year alongside Lamb of God, Trivium and In Flames.

Eddie Murphy‘s eldest son, Eric, and Martin Lawrence‘s oldest daughter, Jasmin, have made their relationship Instagram official.
Over the weekend, Jasmin, 25, shared a photo of her and Eric with a loving caption in celebration of his 32nd birthday.
“Happy birthday, my love!,” she wrote. “I’m so incredibly blessed to know you, to love you, and to have you by my side. Cheers to many more blessings, laughs, and beautiful memories! I love you so much!!”
Jasmin’s sweet post comes just weeks after Eric declared his love for her in an Instagram post.
“Head over heels in LOVE with YOU,” he captioned the selfie, adding the hashtags “#myotherhalf,” “#equallyyoked” and “#iloveyou.”
For those who may not recall, Eric is the firstborn son of Eddie and his former girlfriend Paulette McNeely. Meanwhile, Jasmin is the daughter of Martin and his ex-wife Patricia Southall.
Although the two legendary comedians have not commented on their kids dating, the now-public relationship could offer a reason for Eddie and Martin to work together again. They previously starred in Ted Demme‘s 1999 comedy Life and in Murphy’s 1992 comedy Boomerang.

Morgan Wallen has been relatively quiet on social media ever since being benched by the industry, following the early February circulation of a doorbell cam video that shows him shouting a racist slur at the end of a night of partying.
But this week, the singer shared a happier piece of his life, posting a series of pictures from a birthday party for his one-year-old son, Indigo “Indie” Wilder.
The rodeo-themed birthday party included lots of adorable cowboy memorabilia, including red bandannas and a flag reading “My 1st Rodeo.” In one image, little Indie cries as his mom, KT Smith, wipes cake frosting off his face.
“1 year of being a legend,” Morgan wrote in the caption of his post. “Happy birthday, son.”
For her part, KT also posted a string of snaps from the party. According to one image, guests enjoyed sugar cookies decorated to look like cowboy hats, horseshoes and boots. Another images reveals a close-up look at the details of Indie’s custom cake.
Morgan announced Indie’s birth last July, taking fans by surprise by announcing that he was a dad. “Since you came into the world Friday, I see mine differently now,” Morgan told his son in the caption. “It’s not just me anymore, and I’m glad it’s not.”

(NEW YORK) — With the pandemic causing uncertainty, isolation and disruptions in routine, research has continued to show increases in far-reaching physical and mental health problems — and now, dentists are noting that teeth grinding and jaw clenching, known as bruxism, also seem to be on the rise.
“Since the pandemic, patients have been coming to me with new complaints of jaw pain, tooth pain, broken or chipped teeth or just because their partners are telling them they’re grinding — in numbers that I’ve never seen before,” Dr. Saul Pressner, a family dentist in New York City, said.
Clenching and grinding is a common problem, but Pressner said he has even treated adults whose teeth clenching issues are brand new.
“I’m really seeing both — people who were pre-disposed to clenching and grinding, who already had appliances made for them, and some who had no evidence to show they were ever clenching or grinding before,” Pressner said.
While the causes of bruxism are largely unknown, some experts believe this behavior is related to sleep patterns and processes within the central nervous system. There are a few risk factors that are associated with increased rates of bruxism, including anxiety, highly stressful life circumstances and heavy alcohol use — all things that have increased across the population this year.
“Patients admit to being more tense since the start of the pandemic,” said Dr. Yanell Innabi-Danial of River Town Dental in Dobbs Ferry, New York. “They exhibit tenderness radiating to head and neck muscles, causing headaches.”
The stress isn’t only affecting people while they sleep. It can persist into daytime grinding and clenching as well.
Patients are also clenching their jaws “while working, driving, and doing other activities during the day,” Innabi-Danial said, who noted that clenching and grinding can cause wear on the chewing surfaces of the teeth, which can lead to cavities and gum disease.
And bruxism isn’t just affecting adults. Children can experience it, too.
Dr. Kevin Simon, a child and adolescent psychiatrist at Harvard, said he has seen an increase in patients with anxiety or other mental health-related disorders who make note of physical complaints such as headaches and jaw pain.
“Physical complaints are associated in no small part to the tension and stress they are carrying around in the form of clenching and grinding. More headaches, more tension in the jaw and neck,” Simon said. “Treating the underpinning mental health condition becomes essential to treating those symptoms.”
Ultimately, dentists and mental health professionals agree that tackling this issue will involve addressing stress and anxiety along with preventive dental care to ensure that complications don’t arise in the future.
“Night guards do not stop patients from clenching and grinding, but it does protect the teeth and joint while doing so,” Innabi-Danial said.
Mouth guards, however, can be cost-prohibitive, with few insurances covering the expense, and dentists also caution that over-the-counter guards may not adequately protect a patient’s teeth. Innabi-Danial said that if night guards, behavioral intervention, jaw and tongue exercises and a diet consisting of softer foods do not help, then patients can consider having Botox injected in their jaw muscle.
“Mouth guards are just one piece of it,” Pressner added. “I always recommend meditation, yoga, trying to separate their workspace from relaxation space, exercise, all those things for my patients as soon as I notice signs of teeth grinding. This can have so many benefits to their dental and jaw health down the line.”

Jordan Oram has worked on music videos for Usher, Coldplay and others, and feature films such as Spiral, starring Chris Rock. Yet, the Canadian cinematographer says the video for Drake’s Grammy-winning single, “God’s Plan,” holds a special place in his heart.
“I mean, all of the projects that I’ve collaborated on have a special place in my heart because they came at a time where I was crafting my story, crafting my voice, and crafting my vision,” Oram tells Complex. “So independently, I think the most important one for me was ‘God’s Plan’ with Drake because it signified my relationship with my belief, as well as whatever I was dedicated to at the time.”
Oram adds that he manifested working with Drake almost a decade ago when he landed a collaboration in Toronto to work on a music release for Drizzy’s Take Care album.
“And I remember having a micro conversation with him. And I said, ‘I’m going to shoot your music videos one day. I remember saying that,” Oram says. “And since then, it’s been beautiful to just remember those conversations with him, like, ‘Yo, do you remember when I was telling you like ten years ago that we were going to work together?” And then it happened.”
“And it happened with Miguel,” he says. “[It] hadn’t happened with Usher in quite the same way, but [I] definitely manifested a lot of the things that happened to fall into my ecosystem.”
Jordan Oram has also worked on other music videos, such Drake and Future‘s “Life Is Good,” Miguel’s “R.A.N.,” and Usher‘s “Don’t Waste My Time,” featuring Ella Mai.
