Fast-rising country star Bailey Zimmerman has notched his third consecutive #1 on country radio with “Religiously.”

It follows the previous chart-toppers “Fall In Love” and “Rock and a Hard Place,” both of which have been certified double Platinum by the RIAA.

“I CANT THANK YALL ENOUGH [crying + heart emoji],” Bailey writes in the caption of an Instagram reel. “Today has been a BIG FREAKIN DAY!!! The love y’all have shown me the past 3 years is MIND BLOWING… and without it I wouldn’t be where I’m at [mindblown emoji] so thank you to every one of you that has had my back [heart emoji].”

“[I] will continue to try and give you the best version of me that I can [fire emoji],” adds Bailey.

In addition to his new #1, Bailey also recently celebrated selling out his 2024 headlining RELIGIOUSLY. THE TOUR.

Looks like Noah Kahan fans can’t stop dialing — drunk or otherwise — for tickets to his upcoming tour.

The “Dial Drunk” singer has just added seven additional North American dates to his We’ll All Be Here Forever tour, which gets underway March 26 in Vancouver. The new dates include a second show at New York’s Madison Square Garden and a second show at Boston’s Fenway Park. The tour will now wrap with two dates at the baseball stadium: July 18 and 19.

If you’ve already registered, you may get an opportunity to participate in the advance registration presale on Wednesday, September 27. Fans will be randomly selected to receive a code that grants them access to the sale. The general sale begins September 29 via ticketmaster.com.

In addition, Noah is using the Ticketmaster Face Value Exchange program for the tour. If you get tickets and then can’t attend, you can resell them to other fans at the original price paid. To further protect tickets from falling into scalpers’ hands, all tickets for the tour are mobile only and cannot be transferred, and you must have a valid bank account or debit card within the country of the show to sell tickets on the Face Value Exchange.

On September 24, Noah joined Zach Bryan onstage at Nashville’s Pilgrimage Music Festival to perform their new collaboration, “Sarah’s Place.”  

By the way, Noah pronounces his surname “Kahn,” with just one syllable, and not “Ka-han.” Now you know.

Layzie Bone, a member of the legendary ’90s rap group Bone Thugs-N-Harmony, is asking fans for privacy while Krayzie Bone‘s family and friends deal with the rapper’s “unexpected hospitalization” and potentially life-threatening sickness.

“In this challenging moment, as the immediate and Bone thugs family rallies behind my brother, we humbly ask for a moment of privacy,” Layzie wrote on Instagram alongside a photo of four of the group members. “Our family is facing the unexpected hospitalization of Krayzie Bone with strength, and your prayers are a beacon of hope.”

The special request comes amid reports that the founding group member checked himself into the hospital after coughing up blood. 

Sources told AllHipHop that Krayzie, born Anthony Henderson, underwent immediate surgery to stop the bleeding, caused by a leaking artery in one of his lungs. TMZ said on Monday that the 50-year-old rapper is “fighting for his life” after being placed in an induced coma. 

In his note, Layzie told fans they’ll get an update on his bandmate’s status soon, “but for now,” he said, “let us come together and keep our love and thoughts focused on his recovery. Your support means the world to us, and we truly appreciate your understanding during this time.”

Messages poured in on social media over the last few days from fellow artists and entertainers, who say they are sending thoughts and prayers to Krayzie Bone with hopes he’ll pull through.

Bebe Rexha and David Guetta have followed up their hit “I’m Good (Blue)” with another collaboration, “One In a Million.” The video for the song is out now, having premiered on a billboard in New York’s Times Square and on various MTV platforms.

The clip shows Bebe in various glamorous outfits, including one that’s extremely low-cut. David pops in and out of the video as well.

If the song sound familiar to you, it’s because, like “I’m Good,” it’s based on a sample. This time, the sample is from one of David Guetta’s previous songs: “When Love Takes Over,” a club classic from 2009 featuring vocals by Kelly Rowland.

There’s speculation that “One In a Million” will appear on a deluxe version of Bebe’s latest album, Bebe, which came out this past April.

Now that the Writers Guild of America has reached a tentative agreement with the Alliance of Motion Picture and Television Producers, ABC’s Dancing with the Stars will premiere as scheduled on Tuesday night, September 26. Contestant Jason Mraz should feel right at home with his debut performance in the ballroom.

Jason and his pro partner, Daniella Karagach, will perform a cha cha to — what else? — Jason’s recent hit single “I Feel Like Dancing.” The video for the song features Jason showing off some pretty slick moves, but we’ll have to see if those translate to the ballroom.

On his Instagram Story, Jason has posted some footage of his rehearsals with Daniella as well as video of himself answering the question, “What has been the best part of DWTS so far?” 

Jason replies, “It’s dancing with THIS star right here,” pointing to Daniella. “And also just being so welcomed by this amazing family that runs this show.”

The Dancing with the Stars premiere starts at 8 p.m. ET on ABC. Other celebs hitting the ballroom this season include reality star Ariana Madix, Britney‘s little sister Jamie Lynn Spears, model Tyson Beckford, actresses Alyson Hannigan and Mira Sorvino, and The Brady Bunch star Barry Williams.

Mick Jagger open to posthumous Rolling Stones hologram tours

JUERGEN TELLER for WSJ. Magazine

t sounds like Mick Jagger is not completely against the idea of The Rolling Stones living on long after he and his bandmates are gone.

“You can have a posthumous business now, can’t you? You can have a posthumous tour,” he tells WSJ. Magazine in their October issue, suggesting he wouldn’t be opposed to an avatar-type tour. He notes, “The technology has really moved on since the ABBA thing,” referring to the group’s virtual Voyage show.

As for the future, Jagger says the band has no intention of selling their catalog like many artists have been doing lately, even though doing so could mean more money for his kids. He jokes, “the children don’t need $500 million to live well. Come on.” 

Jagger turned 80 this year, which may seem like a big milestone to some, but he doesn’t look at it as a big deal. Asked how it feels different than 70, he simply replied, “They’re both big numbers. One’s more than the other one.”

Otsego Entertainment Group

Static-X‘s upcoming Project Regeneration: Vol. 2 album will be arriving a few months later than originally scheduled.

The record, which was initially set to arrive on November 3, is now due out January 26, 2024.

Like 2020’s Project Regeneration: Vol. 1, Vol. 2 features the final vocal recordings and compositions by late frontman Wayne Static. It includes the previously released single “Stay Alive” and a cover of the Nine Inch Nails song “Terrible Lie.”

You can listen to clips of various Vol. 2 songs now via Static-X’s Facebook.

Both Project Regeneration albums feature surviving members of Static-X’s original Wisconsin Death Trip lineup — bassist Tony Campos, guitarist Koichi Fukuda and drummer Ken Jay — who reunited in 2018, four years after Static’s death in 2014. The reformed Static-X has since been touring with an unidentified singer simply known as Xer0, who wears a mask onstage replicating Static’s signature look.

Static-X will return to the road alongside Sevendust for the Machine Killer co-headlining tour, which kicks off October 6 in Houston.
