Five people were arrested Thursday on charges stemming from the 2023 overdose deaths of Blondie rocker Chris Stein‘s daughter and actor Robert De Niro‘s grandson, law enforcement sources told ABC News.

Sofia Marks, known as the Percocet Princess, was charged in 2023 with selling the drugs that caused the death of De Niro’s grandson Leandro De Niro-Rodriguez that year.

The five new defendants — Grant McIver, Bruce Epperson, Eddie Barreto, John Nicolas and Roy Nicolas — were allegedly members of a criminal network that distributed thousands of counterfeit prescription opioid pills laced with fentanyl, among other drugs, to teenagers and young adults living in New York City, prosecutors said.

According to the indictment, the fentanyl pills distributed by the defendants caused the deaths of three 19-year-olds, including Leandro De Niro-Rodriguez and Akira Stein, one of the Blondie co-founder’s two daughters. The indictment does not name the victims, but law enforcement sources confirmed the names to ABC News.

Stevie Nicks and Lindsey Buckingham have been on the outs since a disagreement at their 2018 MusiCares Person of the Year benefit, but it seems like their relationship may be on the mend.

The Fleetwood Mac stars appear on the latest episode of the Song Exploder podcast. They were interviewed separately about their track “Frozen Love,” from their recently reissued 1973 solo album Buckingham Nicks. During the episode, Stevie revealed that they are once again talking to each other.

Stevie shared the revelation when asked if she remembered the day she met Lindsey, replying, “I do. Lindsey and I started talking about it last night and it was like, this whole thing seems really like yesterday to us.”

Later, while discussing a particular song lyric in “Frozen Love,” she again mentioned talking to Lindsey.

“This is a question that I’ve gone back and forth over the last few days, ‘fate gave you me for a lover.’ I would swear to God, the words I wrote [were] ‘fate gave you me for a lover,’ fate,” she says. “But when I hear myself sing that line, it sounds like I’m saying hate. But I would have never have written ‘hate gave you me for a lover’ because I never felt that way.”

She then adds, “I’m sorry, Lindsey. I’m calling him later.”

Stevie divulged what caused the rift between her and Lindsey in a 2024 interview with Rolling Stone, noting that at the 2018 MusiCares event he “wasn’t very nice to anybody.”

“I could hear my very pragmatic father — and by the way, my mom and dad liked Lindsey a lot — saying, ‘It’s time for you guys to get a divorce,'” she said.

On This Day, Oct. 30, 2002…

Warren Zevon was the sole guest on The Late Show with David Letterman, with his appearance coming a few months after he was diagnosed with terminal lung cancer.

The “Werewolves of London” singer, a frequent guest on Letterman’s show over the years, was interviewed by the host where they talked about his diagnosis, with Zevon retaining his sense of humor. When Letterman asked him about that the news of his condition, he quipped, “you mean you heard about the flu?”

When asked by Letterman if there was something he now knew about life and death, Zevon said the memorable line, “not unless I know how much you’re supposed to enjoy every sandwich.”

Zevon performed three songs during the episode, “Mutineer,” “Genius,” and “Roland the Headless Thompson Gunner.” It would be his last public performance.

Zevon died Sept. 7, 2003, at the age of 56.

Zevon is set to be inducted into the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame in the Musical Influence category. The ceremony is happening Nov. 8 in Los Angeles and Letterman has already been announced as one of the evening’s presenters.

Genesis founding member and keyboardist Tony Banks is the subject of a new book coming in 2026.

Tony Banks: Man of Spells – The Magician of Genesis is written by Italian music journalist Mario Giammetti. He has written 15 books about Genesis, including Genesis – 1967 to 1975: The Peter Gabriel Years and Genesis – 1975 to 2025: The Phil Collins Years.

The Banks book is described as a look into the life of “one of rock music’s most gifted and influential writers and performers,” focusing not just on his career with Genesis but on his “frequently overlooked solo career.”

The book is culled from interviews Giammetti conducted with Banks over the years, as well interviews with others in the artist’s inner circle. It will also feature more than 100 images, including rare and previously unpublished photographs.

“While there have been various books written by or about all the other major players in Genesis, there has until now never been one focused exclusively on Tony Banks,” Gregory Spawton, co-owner of Kingmaker Publishing, which is publishing the book, says. “We felt it was important to shine a brighter light on his life and career.”

Tony Banks: Man of Spells – The Magician of Genesis will be released Feb. 19. It is available for preorder now.

David Bowie’s latter years are going to be the subject of a new U.K. documentary.

According to Deadline, U.K. Channel 4, Dogwoof and Rogan Productions are behind the film, tentatively titled David Bowie: The Final Act. It will be focused on the rock star’s creativity and artistry during the final decade of his life, including his final album, Blackstar, which was released on his 69th birthday, two days before he death in 2016.

The doc will be directed by Jonathan Stiasny, and will feature interviews with Bowie insiders who knew and worked with him, along with famous celebs who were fans and inspired by his work.

“The traditional music documentary celebrates triumph,” Stiasny says. “What fascinated me most when making this film was how Bowie’s final chapter wasn’t an ending, it was a resurrection. He transformed failure into triumph, silence into revelation, and ultimately, death into art.”

This isn’t the only Bowie doc in the works. BBC Two and BBC iPlayer are working on a new documentary, tentatively titled Bowie in Berlin. It will mark the 50th anniversary of Bowie’s arrival in Berlin, which resulted in three albums — Low, Heroes and Lodger — that he dubbed his Berlin trilogy.

Rick Savage is the final member of Def Leppard to share his most memorable moment with the band, and his involves cigarette lighters.

In a new post on Instagram, the bassist says that while their first show at Westfield School in Sheffield, England, and the Freddie Mercury tribute concert at Wembley Stadium in 1993 could qualify as memorable moments, he decided to pick a different one since the others had been “well documented.”

First he joked that one of the more “memorable in a strange way” moments happened with Bryan Adams. He described how he was caught “in a compromising position in the corridor of a tour bus, with Bryan Adams actually laying on top of me, trying to fix a very painful back ailment that I had.”

But then Savage got serious and explained why his most memorable moment was a 1980 concert at the Veterans Memorial Coliseum in Portland, Oregon.

“It’s the very first time we’ve seen cigarette lighters aloft to such a degree,” he said, noting he was particularly amazed during the performance of their track “Rock Brigade.”

“There was 11,000 people in the [Coliseum],” he said. “It was just such a fantastic sight and I swear to God, at least 90% of them held their cigarette lighters up in the air and it’s the first time I’ve ever really experienced that. It was just incredible.”

Savage’s video is part of a series of posts Def Leppard has been sharing since receiving their star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame on Oct. 10. Joe Elliott, Vivian Campbell, Rick Allen and Phil Collen previously shared their most memorable moments.

Most celebrity biopics aren’t 100% accurate, and now a fan has discovered one glaring error in the new Bruce Springsteen film Springsteen: Deliver me From Nowhere.

In early October, a fan on X who goes by the handle @GenZBruceFan posted, “They made a tiny trivial mistake about Bruce Springsteen’s life in Deliver Me from Nowhere,” adding, “It does not detract from the film but I clocked it immediately. I think I will reveal it around Halloween.”

It turns out the mistake had to do with Springsteen’s feelings on mustard. In the film, there’s a scene where Jeremy Allen White as Springsteen is asking his girlfriend’s daughter about the hot dog she just had, wondering if it had ketchup or mustard on it. When she says mustard, Springsteen says it’s his favorite, but it turns out the real Springsteen has been very vocal about hating the condiment.

To prove their point,@GenZBruceFan posted video of Springsteen going off on an anti-mustard rant during a concert.

“I used to order a ham sandwich with cheese and lettuce and a lot of mayonnaise but no mustard,” Springsteen explained in the clip. “Don’t give me no f***** Grey Poupon!”

But he didn’t stop there.

“I don’t like any mustard,” Springsteen said. “I don’t like it on my hot dog, I don’t like it on my sandwiches, no. So I would have ham, cheese, lettuce, a lot of mayonnaise on white bread.”

Springsteen: Deliver Me From Nowhere is now in theaters.

Simon Kirke has confirmed he’ll reunite with bandmate Paul Rodgers to perform when Bad Company is inducted into the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame.

“I think the secret is out that we will perform. I don’t know, I might get into trouble, but I saw some Google news that Bad Company will perform at the Hall of Fame (induction). So, I will cautiously say yes,” he revealed on the Lyndsanity! with Lyndsey Parker podcast. “I’m not at liberty to say which songs. I mean, quite honestly, I don’t give a s***. We’re gonna play, and whatever Paul chooses is fine by me.”

He added, “And just to play with him again is gonna be a real thrill for me, ’cause I missed him. I missed playing with the band. I miss playing particularly with Paul, ’cause he’s such a wonderful singer.”

Simon said he hasn’t heard Rodgers sing since their last show together over five years ago. Although Rodgers has gone through some health issues since then, Simon doesn’t seem to be worried about how he’ll sound.

“When you have a voice that naturally good, it’s gonna take a hell of a lot for it to fray or devalue,” he said. “So I think he’s going to be fine for the two songs that we’ve chosen.”

The 2025 Rock & Roll Hall of Fame induction ceremony will be held Nov. 8 in Los Angeles and will stream live on Disney+ starting at 8 p.m. ET. ABC will also air a highlights special on Jan. 1, 2026, at 8 p.m. ET.

Disney is the parent company of ABC News.
