Cold has canceled and postponed a number of dates on the band’s upcoming tour due to frontman Scooter Ward’s mother recovering from a stroke.

Ward reveals in an Instagram post that his mother suffered the stroke in January while he was visiting for the holidays.

“She ended up pulling through but it’s been a rough couple of months for her during recovery,” Ward writes. “I’m forever thankful and blessed she’s still with us. She’s finally now feeling a bit better and things are looking a bit more positive.”

“I extended my stay to help facilitate all the things necessary to make both my parents lives easier during this time and to help where I could with all the day to day things,” he continues. “With that said, I had to make the decision to delay the start of the tour.”

The affected dates were originally scheduled for between April 15 and May 2. The Instagram post lists all of the canceled shows, as well as the new dates for the rescheduled ones.

If you ever wondered whether or not famous musicians actually sing at their own weddings, Adam Levine has revealed that he did croon at least one tune at his nuptials — with some help from a two-time Rock & Roll Hall of Famer.

In an advance clip of Monday night’s episode of The Voice, contestants Drew Russell and Jared Shoemaker sing the song “Leather and Lace.” The song is a duet between Stevie Nicks, who wrote the song, and her ex-boyfriend Don Henley of The Eagles. It hit the top 10 in January 1982.

Reacting to the performance, Adam says, “This song to me is just a heavyweight champion of songs in my life. Like, I sang this song, with Stevie Nicks, to my wife at our wedding.” Fellow judge Kelly Clarkson reacts, “What?” 

“I did. That happened. It really happened,” Adam laughed. “I think it really happened. I pinch myself sometimes.”

Adam went on to praise the contestants’ performance as “so beautiful.”

Stevie was a guest mentor for Adam’s team on The Voice back in 2012. When Adam and his wife, Behati Prinsloo, wed in 2014, she was invited to perform. Stevie eventually joined Adam’s band Maroon 5 on the song “Remedy” on their 2021 album, Jordi.

The voices of HUNTR/X have sung “Golden” everywhere from the Oscars to the BRIT Awards to the Macy’s Thanksgiving Day Parade, and now they might be singing it on tour.

According to Bloomberg, Netflix is planning a “global concert tour” based around the film and its hit soundtrack. Netflix is currently negotiating with concert promoters for the tour. It would take place in 2027, well ahead of the upcoming sequel, sources tell Bloomberg. Tens of millions of dollars have been offered, but sources also say Netflix may pull the plug based on costs, or if the streamer can’t figure out how to pull it off.

Why wouldn’t it be able to pull it off? According to Bloomberg, it’s not clear who would actually perform. The voices of HUNTR/X — EJAE, Rei Ami and Audrey Nuna — might be involved, but virtual or hologram performers have also been discussed. “It’s unlikely the three women would perform at every stop,” Bloomberg notes.

As per Bloomberg, a talent agency is considering backing a tour featuring the three women without Netflix’s involvement, but if they did that, they wouldn’t be able to reference the film without the streamer’s permission.

As for Saja Boys, the singers who provide their voices in the film have never performed live.

In various interviews, EJAE, Rei Ami and Audrey Nuna have said they wouldn’t be surprised if a tour happened, and EJAE has signaled her willingness to be involved in such a project.

The name of Kesha’s new tour is much more family-friendly than her 2025 trek, which had a name we can’t really say out loud. 

The singer will launch The Freedom Tour May 23 in Chula Vista, California, and wrap things up Aug. 30 in Noblesville, Indiana. In between, she’ll also perform on June 6 at Toronto’s All Things Go Festival and on June 14 at Tennessee’s Bonnaroo Music & Arts Festival.

Kesha says of the tour, “I’ve lived through the fire. This tour is about what comes after. Freedom isn’t just leaving something behind — it’s discovering that what you have lived through has made you magnificently who you are”

“This summer we are reclaiming our bodies, our voices, and our joy,” she adds. “We have survived. Now we get to be free. Let’s be free together. I want to know what freedom feels like, with all of you.”

Presales start Tuesday at 10 a.m. local time and run through the week. Tickets go on sale to the general public Friday at 10 a.m. local at KeshaOfficial.com.

In addition, Kesha has new music on the way. Her most recent album is 2025’s Period.
