Paramore’s most recent album is 2017’s After Laughter. The band revealed in a Rolling Stone interview earlier this year that they were back in the studio working on a follow-up.

Meanwhile, frontwoman Hayley Williams has released two solo albums: 2020’s Petals for Armor and 2021’s Flowers for Vases/Descansos.

Black Label Society‘s Zakk Wylde and Anthrax‘s Charlie Benante will be stepping in for the late Abbott brothers on the upcoming Pantera reunion tour, Billboard reports.

Wylde will be playing guitar in place of “Dimebag” Darrell Abbott, while Benante will be manning drummer Vinnie Paul‘s spot behind the kit. They’ll join surviving Pantera members vocalist Phil Anselmo and bassist Rex Brown, who, as Billboard reported earlier this week, are reforming the metal outfit for a 2023 tour.

Dime was murdered on stage in 2004, while his older brother Vinnie died in 2018 of a heart condition. The estates of both brothers gave a “green light” to the new lineup, according to Billboard.

The reported tour will mark the first Pantera live shows since the band broke up in 2003.

Kanye West has returned to Instagram, yet again.

This time, Ye returned to update his 16.2 million followers on what he did earlier this week on what would have been his mother’s 73rd birthday.

“On my moms birthday I was able for the first time to sit in on a Gap call with Bob Martin, Bob Fisher and other leads of the company,” Ye shared in an Instagram post on Thursday, alongside a photo of Martin, Gap Inc. chairman and interim CEO.

“Bob Martin was one of the most inspiring people I’ve heard speak in business. He kept saying go to the stores on the call. I came to Gap to put good product directly in stores,” Kanye continued, noting that Gap has experienced two of the “biggest sales days” since collaborating with the Donda rapper. 

“We sold 14 million dollars worth of the perfect black hoodie at 80 dollars a hoodie off of a television commercial that was ran one time. I came to Gap to bring good quality products to the people at all times,” Ye said. “Bob I need to meet with you as soon as possible.”

Kanye’s mother, Donda West, would have turned 73 on Tuesday. She died in 2007 from heart disease and complications following cosmetic surgery. She was 58.

Is Nick Cannon preparing to tie the knot again? It seems that way based on his most recent social media post.

On Thursday night, the Wild ‘n Out host took to Instagram to share a photo of himself with a unidentified woman whose arms were lovingly draped around his neck.

“I said I would never do it again but…Finally doing what the world wants me to do,” Cannon captioned the post, adding the ring emoji. The post also included a close-up of what looked like a stunning diamond ring in a box. 

While the post hinted that the Drumline star popped the question, users in the comments were skeptical. 

“This must be a musical video,” one wrote, while another questioned, “What movie is this for?”

“I thought you wanted Mariah back lol,” a third commented, seemingly making reference to an interview published just two days ago where Cannon told The Hot Tee Talk Show that if the opportunity presented itself, he’d for sure take another stab at a relationship with ex-wife Mariah Carey.

“It was literally like a fairytale with Mariah. I’d rather it just be that way — I appreciate that fantasy because if I tried to go back and it wasn’t the same …” he said before emphasizing, “But if it could be the way that it was, I’m there!”

Cannon and Carey married in the Bahamas in 2008, welcomed twins in 2011 and were together for eight years. They divorced in 2016.

In addition to his twins with Carey, Cannon shares Golden and Powerful with Brittany Bell; another set of twins, Zion and Zillion, with Abby De La Rosa; son Zen — who died at five months — with Alyssa Scott; and he’s expecting a baby boy with Bre Tiesi this year.

Christina Perri‘s new album, a lighter shade of blue, her first since 2014, is out on Friday — and it’s a good thing, too. The singer says she’s “overflowing with stuff I need to sing about.”

Unfortunately, that stuff is sad. Christina suffered postpartum depression after having her daughter in 2018. Then in early 2020, she had a miscarriage. Later that year, after getting pregnant again, her daughter Rosie was stillborn. Christina is now expecting another baby, but says her grief inspired many of the songs on the album.

“We hardly talk about [grief] openly,” she notes. “So I feel a sense of responsibility, having gone through all these things. But I can only say that now, having done all that inner work. So I feel like, ‘OK, I’m ready to really share my experiences.'”

And Christina hopes that detailing what she’s gone through in song will help others.

“These songs feel so important to me that I have to put them out,” she explains. “Like, I don’t know many people singing about postpartum depression, but I gotta share that song with everyone in the world.”

“It’s really the music that’s encouraging me to do it even when I feel like I can’t,” she adds.

Christina’s journey through her grief is reflected in the album’s title, which was inspired by the album’s song “Blue.”

“The lyric has to do with becoming a lighter shade of this darkness I’ve always carried around with me. And as soon as we wrote this song, I saw the entire thing,” she explains. “Every song has some sort of reference to either blue … specifically, or just that moody kind of vibe. And all the songs kind of tell the story of starting in a very dark place and slowly getting lighter.”

Maddie & Tae bandmates Taylor Kerr and Maddie Font aren’t just partners in music: They’re also best friends. So, it makes sense that when Taylor got pregnant with her daughter, Leighton, Maddie was the first person, aside from her husband, to who she told the good news.

Baby Leighton’s now six months old, but the pair shared a throwback pic from the very beginning of Taylor’s pregnancy along with a sweet message.

“This may look like any old picture,” Taylor writes next to an image of the two singers backstage, arms thrown around each other.

“But this was actually taken the day after I found out I was pregnant,” she reveals. “Maddie was the only person that knew (besides my husband) so we snapped a pic to celebrate our first show as a trio.”

Maddie & Tae are currently gearing up for the release of Through the Madness Vol. 2, the second half of a project that began in January with the release of Vol. 1.

Through the Madness Vol. 2 comes out in late September.

Kate Bush has broken another Billboard record as “Running Up That Hill” continues its post-Stranger Things resurgence.

The 1985 song has now jumped to #9 on the Alternative Airplay chart, giving Bush the longest-ever gap between top-10 hits on that particular ranking since it began in 1988.

Bush last charted in the Alternative Airplay top 10 in January 1994 with “Rubberband Girl,” a total of 28 years, five months and one week ago. That essentially doubles the previous mark of 14 years, six months and one week set by The Strokes between “Juicebox” in 2005 and “Bad Decisions” in 2020.

When “Running Up That Hill” first debuted on Alternative Airplay in June, Bush set the record for longest gap between appearances on the chart, regardless of placement.

Since its use in Stranger Things season 4, which premiered in late May, “Running Up That Hill” has been running up many, many charts, including reaching the top five on the all-genre Billboard Hot 100. Bush also broke several U.K. chart records as “Running Up That Hill” went to #1 in her home country.

The response to “Running Up That Hill” has been so massive that the famously press-shy Bush has issued several public statements and even gave her first interview in years.

Meanwhile, the Stranger Things episode that uses “Running Up That Hill” most prominently, “Chapter Four: Dear Billy,” has received an Emmy nomination for Outstanding Music Supervision.
