In honor of Earth Day Wednesday, Billie Eilish closed down her online store and wrote that she was “encouraging fans and shoppers to donate time or resources to organizations of their choice to help make life on this planet safe, healthy and just.” She also listed several of those organizations, including her mom’s Support + Feed, which works to deliver plant-based meals and pantry items across the country. Meanwhile, The Hollywood Reporter named Billie one of the 25 “Greenest Hollywood Celebrities,” thanks to her efforts to tour without single-use plastics and with biofuel-powered trucks. She also encourages her fashion collaborators to use animal-free materials.

EJAE from the KPop Demon Hunters’ group HUNTR/X is featured in People magazine’s new “Most Beautiful” issue. In it, the “Golden” singer says, “I was so obsessed with makeup growing up. I wanted to hide behind makeup because I wanted to look a certain way. Korea is all about trends.” She adds, “Now I’m more accepting of my bare face. I feel the most beautiful after I take a shower, and I put skin care on.”

In case you missed RAYE on The Late Show with Stephen Colbert, you can watch her two performances on YouTube. She performed “Click Clack Symphony.” from her album This Music May Contain Hope. As a bonus, she sang another song from the album, “Joy.,” and was joined by her sisters Amma and Absolutely, both of whom are opening for her on tour.

When it comes to the condition of his vocal cords, Dave Grohl does indeed blame it on the alcohol, but in a good way.

During an interview on the Dish podcast, the Foo Fighters frontman shares that he went to a doctor to have his vocal cords inspected some years ago and was surprised to learn that everything looked good.

The doctor then asked Grohl if he does any vocal warm-ups or cooldowns before and after shows. When Grohl said he didn’t, the doctor asked about Grohl’s preshow routine.

“An hour before the show, I’ll open a beer, then I’ll start drinking the beer,” Grohl explained. “I might take an Advil ’cause my knees hurt, my ankles hurt, whatever, I’m old. Then I’ll have a shot of whiskey.”

“Once the beer is done, I’ll open another beer, then we’ll maybe have a group shot,” Grohl continued. “Then somebody will say, ’15 minutes!’ And I open one more beer and have one more shot, and then hit the stage.”

While a hepatologist might have some concerns, Grohl’s vocal cord doctor had a different reaction.

“My doctor said, ‘Just don’t change what you’re doing, it’s working,'” Grohl tells Dish.

Grohl will have plenty of chances to repeat that routine while touring in support of the upcoming Foo Fighters album Your Favorite Toy, due out Friday. The Foos will play a one-off show in Bridgeport, Connecticut, on April 28, followed by headlining sets at the Welcome to Rockville and BottleRock Napa festivals in May. They’ll launch a full North American stadium tour in August.

Ticketmaster has been the subject of some bad press lately, but the good news is that the company is now trying to help Harry Styles fans get tickets for his Together, Together tour, which otherwise would have fallen into scalpers’ hands.

In a lengthy letter posted on the company’s socials, Ticketmaster Global President Saumil Mehta says, “We caught scalpers using multiple accounts and fake identities to try to get around ticket limits and resell tickets for profit. We’ve canceled those tickets … and we are working with the tour to release them back to fans at the original price.”

The company recently did something similar with tickets to Ariana Grande’s upcoming tour. Mehta notes, “It’s all part of our broader effort to identify and catch more bad actors.”

Fans can request the tickets from April 30 at 12 p.m. ET through May 1 at 5 p.m. ET via the Harry Styles page on Ticketmaster. Fans who don’t already have tickets to the New York City shows will get priority. Once you’ve submitted your request, you’ll get an email, and if your request is fulfilled, you’ll receive a second email by midnight on May 8.

Of note, anyone who bought directly on Ticketmaster or anyone who received transferred or resale tickets in their Ticketmaster accounts is not affected. And it only affects the shows in New York City, which run between Aug. 26 and Oct. 31.

Sum 41 frontman Deryck Whibley has shared a post reflecting on the 25th anniversary of the band’s breakout track, “Fat Lip.”

“The song that changed our lives forever,” Whibley writes on Instagram. “Some songs come quick and easy and others are struggle. This one was the latter. I worked on this song for a good year or more before I even mentioned it or showed it to anyone in the band.”

“I actually felt kind of embarrassed by it for a long time,” he continues. “But in all honesty it wasn’t really working for a long time either. It took a lot of work and maneuvering to fit all the parts together and make it feel natural and not 5 different songs cut and pasted together.”

Whibley says that “Fat Lip” finally came together after writing the rap verses with guitarist Dave Baksh and drummer Steve Jocz.

“That’s when we knew we had something that represented,” Whibley writes. “It said everything about who we were and where we came from.”

“Fat Lip,” which was first released as a single on April 22, 2001, hit #1 on the Billboard Alternative Airplay chart and is certified double-Platinum by the RIAA.

Sum 41 disbanded in 2025 after releasing a final album, 2024’s Heaven :x: Hell, and completing a farewell tour.

Ella Langley’s “Choosin’ Texas” is proving to have incredible staying power, hanging on atop the Billboard Hot 100 for its seventh week. 

At the same time, her follow-up radio single, “Be Her,” is coming on strong, checking in at #4 on the all-genre tally, making the Alabama native the first female country artist ever to have two songs in the top five simultaneously. 

Ella’s finding similar success on Billboard‘s Country Airplay chart, with “Texas” at #3 and “Her” at #10. That makes her the first woman ever to have two solo songs in the top 10 at the same time.

Make no mistake, Ella’s done it before, she just had some help from Riley Green. Starting in December, their duet “Don’t Mind If I Do” spent five weeks together with “Texas” in the top 10. 

Lainey Wilson’s also had two songs in the top 10 twice before, but each time one was a duet. First was “Heart Like a Truck” and “wait in the truck” with HARDY, followed by “Watermelon Moonshine” and “Save Me” with Jelly Roll, all in 2023.

Stevie Nicks and “A Thousand Miles” singer Vanessa Carlton are pals; in fact, Stevie officiated her wedding. So maybe it’s not surprising to hear that Vanessa has heard the new album that Stevie said she was working on a year ago.

Speaking with People, Vanessa confirmed that she’s heard the album, which Stevie first mentioned during the Pollstar Awards in April 2025. She told the audience during the event, “I’m actually making a record right now.” She added that she’d written seven songs that were “autobiographical, real stories where I’m not pulling any punches for probably the first time in my life.”

While Vanessa said that she’d heard it, she added, “I cannot say a word more. The world should get ready. That’s all I’ll say. Stevie’s coming. Let’s put it that way.”

She added, “It’s Stevie, so it’s glorious.”

When Stevie does release a new album, it will be her first solo release since 2011’s In Your Dreams. She did release the single “The Lighthouse” in September 2024. Wednesday night, she performs in Austin, Texas.

As for why the Rock & Roll Hall of Famer is so beloved, Vanessa told People, “She doesn’t try to teach anybody. She’s not trying to tell anybody what to do. She will let you be yourself. I know we’re so in this divided place. But at her shows, everybody comes together for her.”

“I think that’s why everybody loves Stevie. Everybody wants to know what she has to say — and she’s not trying to get people to love her. It’s just really respectful of everybody.”
