Sammy Hagar is giving fans a little insight into how he comes up with his set list.
The rocker is due to return to Las Vegas in March for more dates of his The Best of All Worlds residency. He posted a video on Instagram of him working out what songs he’s gonna play this time around.
“We’re trying to do a different show every night without sacrificing,” reads the caption of the clip. “The best of that most people are coming to hear.”
Sammy notes in the video, “This is what I have to do. This is work to me, it isn’t like being onstage,” revealing that he has a master set list of 36 songs or more that keeps changing.
“And every night we’re gonna try and open with a different song, not try, we’re gonna open with a different song,” he says. “We’re probably gonna end with a different song. We’ll put three or four songs minimum in the middle.”
He then pointed out to fans that he was writing in a new song to the list this time around, “Crack in The World,” from his third solo album, Musical Chairs. “That song is going in the set, 1977.”
Sammy Hagar’s The Best of All Worlds residency returns to Dolby Live at Park MGM from March 11 to 21 and again from Sept. 18 to 26. A complete list of Sammy dates can be found at RedRocker.com.

The screening of the Courtney Love documentary Antiheroine at the 2026 Sundance Film Festival was apparently not the finished version of the film.
The Hole frontwoman’s manager, Jonathan Daniel, tells The Hollywood Reporter, “The cut that went to Sundance was never intended as final.”
“It’s actually the first edit of the film,” Daniel continues. “We were surprised and flattered that they wanted to screen it, so we approved it being shown even though it was not finished.”
Daniel’s comments come in response to THR citing a source claiming Love is “telling friends she’s unhappy with the movie and wants to recut it with new material.”
“Courtney will always be unfiltered and may speak out of turn,” Daniel says. “But I can assure you she’s dedicated to finishing the doc and then promoting it when it’s out.”
Antiheroine, which was announced in December, features interviews with Love and her Hole bandmates Melissa Auf der Maur, Eric Erlandson and Patty Schemel, as well as Green Day’s Billie Joe Armstrong and R.E.M.’s Michael Stipe.
“Singer, songwriter, and actor Courtney Love has long had an impact on rock and pop culture,” the doc’s description reads. “Now sober and set to release new music for the first time in over a decade, Courtney is ready to reveal her story, unfiltered and unapologetic.”

It seems the king may be open to battle: T.I. has released a new song titled “War.”
“The bear hibernating, don’t poke him/ When you see the giant sleeping, shouldn’t have woke him,” Tip raps on the track.
“Know the dawg hold your head down/ Did a diss record, better edit now/ I’ll turn your head around/ All that cap n****, better get a gown/ But the only place your head is in the ground,” Tip later adds, before ending the clip with, “Oh, you n***** want war?”
“War” has dropped amid T.I.’s back-and-forth with 50 Cent and is presumed to be a diss toward the rapper. Their feud appears to have stemmed from 50’s refusal to battle him in a Verzuz.
“It was really about celebrating each other’s catalog,” T.I. said on Million Dollaz Worth of Game, noting 50 declined after their discussions about the potential event.
“F*** all of it,” T.I. continued. “Now, I question your character. N****, just say you don’t want to do it.”
50 has since responded, writing on Instagram, “I know Atlanta pick and choose who they support, but yall gotta do better. LOL keep my name out ya mouth!”
He recently shared a bad photo of T.I.’s wife, Tiny, prompting responses from Tip and his son King Harris.
“War” marks T.I.’s latest release and is now available on streaming services. He’s currently working on his final album, Kill the King, according to a recent update on social media.
One star-studded video and multiple remixes later, Taylor Swift’s “Opalite” has topped the Billboard Hot 100.
The song had previously reached #2 back in October when its parent album, The Life of a Showgirl,was released. It had since fallen farther down the chart, but thanks to the recent release of the song’s elaborate video — plus two extended versions of the video, multiple collectible CD remixes and a 7-inch vinyl version of the song — “Opalite” has now jumped seven spots to reach #1.
“Opalite” is the second #1 from The Life of a Showgirl, following “The Fate of Ophelia.” That makes Showgirl the first Taylor album to spin off more than one #1 hit since her 2014 release, 1989.
In addition, Taylor is now tied with Rihanna for the third-most #1 hits on the Hot 100, behind Mariah Carey, with 19, and The Beatles, with 20. Overall, it’s Taylor’s 14th #1 hit on the chart.

Ed Sheeran grew up about 15 miles from the town of Ipswich, England, and has a minority stake in Ipswich Town Football Club, his favorite soccer team. He’s also been named the honorary co-mayor of Ipswich — but a completely different Ipswich, halfway around the world.
During his current Australian tour, Ed dropped by the town of Ipswich, located in the Australian state of Queensland, which had launched a massive citywide campaign urging him to visit. While there, he signed a mural of himself that the town had painted in his honor, and added, “There’s a new mayor in town.”
The actual mayor of Ipswich, Teresa Harding, has posted on Instagram photos of herself meeting Ed at his show in Brisbane on Sunday. She wrote, “I had the chance to meet Ed and thank him on behalf of our whole community.” She added, “When he visited Ipswich on Friday, he joked and asked if he was now the new Mayor.”
“So at his concert on Sunday night, I made it official and presented him with the Mayoral chains, naming him an honorary co‑Mayor of Ipswich,” Harding continued.
“He loved it, and while he insisted our Ipswich was the ‘second‑best Ipswich,’ I assured him ours is absolutely number one.”
Ed’s LOOP tour of Australia continues through March 5.

It’s been 25 years since fans were introduced to Alicia Keys via her debut single, “Fallin.'” In an interview with People, she describes how she feels about the song’s milestone anniversary.
“I’m not sure how I wrap my head around this whole existence called life. It’s very crazy and wonderful and exciting and amazing,” she said. “And just thinking back to that girl in me at that time and how she had no idea, none. That she was completely what you call ‘fake it till you make it’ — that’s what she was doing, and she did a damn good job.”
Alicia added that she’s appreciative of the 20-year-old version of her “because she was strong, she was clear.”
“Even though she didn’t know everything, she knew what she didn’t want and she knew what she had to hold onto,” she said, “and that was authenticity and truth and honesty and music.”
“So I’m very proud because I recognize her in me today. So that’s a beautiful thing,” Alicia concluded, noting she has “not even hit the tiny bit of where I’m going.”
“Fallin'” topped the Billboard Hot 100 on Aug. 18, 2001, and spent six nonconsecutive weeks at #1. It also won song of the year, best R&B song and best female R&B vocal performance at the 44th annual Grammy Awards.
The song appears on her debut album, Songs in A Minor, and was featured in Keys’ Broadway musical, Hell’s Kitchen, which ended its run at the Shubert Theatre Sunday.
Keys’ husband, Swizz Beatz, congratulated her for the run. “700 shows on broadway and now on to the world tour My love we’re so proud of you beyond !!” he wrote. “Congrats on this amazing run and leaving NYC with the trophy’s [sic].”
