Falling in Reverse has premiered a new single called “Watch the World Burn.”

The track is available now via digital outlets and is accompanied by a video featuring Ronnie Radke as a super villain, which you can watch now on YouTube.

The clip also features a shot of a long-haired blond wannabe rocker who gets hit in the head with a laptop. You may recall that Radke got into a feud with Sebastian Bach last year over Falling in Reverse’s use of laptops and backing tracks during their live show.

“Watch the World Burn” follows Falling in Reverse’s 2022 singles “Zombified” and “Voices in My Head.” The band’s most recent album is 2017’s Coming Home.

Falling in Reverse will launch their Rockzilla tour with Papa Roach, Hollywood Undead and Escape the Fate on Wednesday in Rochester, New York.

Adele‘s team shared a “very special moment” that recently happened during her Las Vegas residency.

The official @AdeleAccess account posted an Instagram video that starts with Adele walking through the theater while belting out “When We Were Young.” While interacting with the audience, the singer took notice of a man a few rows back showing her a picture of his wife on his phone. As she walks by, he places a hand over his heart.

Adele returned to the stage and dedicated her performance of “Someone Like You” to the gentleman, but it later dawns on her why the man’s wife wasn’t in attendance.

“When I walk through the crowd, I wish you could see what I can see because I know I talk to a few people every night, but then I see little stories of people happening,” the singer explains while wiping away tears as she points to the widower. She then asks her audience if they can “see him holding his phone up.”

“I think that’s his wife on his phone, and I don’t think she’s here and it just really moved me,” she tearfully says. “It looks like you’re here on your own and … I’m just so sorry. I’m so sorry for your loss.”

She further apologizes, “I’m so sorry I didn’t realize what you were showing me until I was already over there.”

The man in attendance wasn’t identified.

Adele spoke of how she sees “these little pockets of people’s lives” when she walks through the crowd during her residency, which she says she finds “so beautiful.”

Weekends with Adele wraps March 25.

Lil Jon is threatening to take legal action against Live Nation for the second edition of its Lovers and Friends festival. 

As TMZ reports, the producer and his legal team wrote a letter to Live Nation about his exclusion in planning the festival. He’s requesting compensation for use of the festival’s title, which is named after his 2004 hit, claiming that his song is better known than Michael Sterling‘s 1991 song of the same name.

Jon’s request is reportedly not the first time he’s attempted to speak to Live Nation about his involvement in the festival. He started talks with the company in May 2022 but didn’t push too hard to ensure that last year’s show still went on.

He’s been attempting to settle the matter outside of the courtroom, TMZ reports.

Lewis Capaldi broke a record in his native Scotland: he is now the music artist who has sold the most tickets for an indoor live show.

Lewis recently played at the P&J Live arena in Aberdeen, Scotland, and sold over 15,000 tickets for the show. IQ was first to report the news.

A representative for ASM Global, which operates the venue, confirmed Lewis’ show set the record for largest indoor crowd.

“P&J Live was the perfect venue for Lewis’ full-hearted songs and incredible production on his hugely successful arena tour,” programming director James Harrison said in a statement. “Nearly 15,000 fans from Scotland’s North East standing on the floor has to be seen to be believed, a unique sight in UK venues, an incredible atmosphere and a night to remember for everyone that was there.”

The record had previously been set by Scottish singer Gerry Cinnamon back in 2019.

Lewis is on tour in support of his forthcoming album, Broken By Desire to be Heavenly Sent, which arrives May 19. His tour runs until September 23, with a final stop set for Belfast, Ireland.
