Zack de la Rocha channeled his inner Dave Grohl during Rage Against the Machine‘s concert in Chicago Monday after suffering an apparent leg injury.

According to Consequence.net, de la Rocha left the stage with the help of a few crew members toward the beginning of the show. When he returned, he spent the rest of the concert seated on an onstage monitor.

Consequence also posted a video of the very end of the show, which sees de la Rocha hugging each of his bandmates while still sitting down. Eventually, two crew members arrived and literally swept him off his feet, carrying him backstage while he gave the peace sign to the crowd.

Rage hasn’t made any public statements about de la Rocha’s condition, but if it’s serious enough, maybe he’ll be the latest artist to make use of Grohl’s throne. The Foo Fighters frontman brought the giant, guitar-adorned structure on tour in 2015 after breaking his leg during a show in Sweden earlier that year, which he finished despite the gruesome injury.

Grohl has previously lent the throne to Guns N’ Roses frontman Axl Rose during his tour with AC/DC.

Rage’s Chicago show was just the second date on the band’s much-anticipated reunion tour, which kicked off last weekend following a two-year pandemic delay. The outing, which marks the “Killing in the Name” outfit’s first live shows in 11 years, continues Tuesday with another show in Chicago.

Miranda Lambert is offering a look inside her trusty Airstream, Wanda The Wanderer. 

Miranda has had the 1954 Flying Cloud Airstream with her on the road for the past decade. Designed in part by her longtime friends Amie Sikes and Jolie Sikes-Smith, hosts of Junk Gypsies, Wanda combines her rock and roll vibe with the feeling of home. “Thank God her walls can’t talk because there’s stories from in here,” Miranda quips to People. 

Among the singer’s favorite pieces on the bus is an old church pew that’s been repurposed as a bench painted gold with the words “Jesus drank wine.” 

Then there’s a pair of maroon velvet chairs with funky yet comfy pillows, including a pink tie-dye one and another with a desert landscape, where the singer likes to lounge after a show — often with a drink in hand. “This seems to be the end of the night area where you lean back with your last night cap and chill and listen to music,” she describes. 

Another favorite item is a rounded snakeskin couch that greets you as you walk in the door, adding a “rock and roll vibe” to the free-spirited camper. All the curtains are “handmade and homemade,” in reference to the lyrics in her “Airstream Song.” The Texas native also incorporated “glamping elements” like a retro tin water canteen that can withstand the literal bumps along the road. “It needs to be hearty like we are,” Miranda says with a smile. 

Wanda was damaged in a vehicle accident in Oregon in 2017, but they managed to piece her back together, complete with a crown on top. “She kept her crown on like a true road queen,” Miranda jokes. “Wanda’s out forever now.”

In her real life, Selena Gomez has kissed quite a few celebrities — Nick Jonas, Justin Bieber and The Weeknd, just to name a few. But a few weeks ago on her Hulu series Only Murders in The Building, we saw Selena kiss a real-life good friend of hers: Cara Delevingne.

Cara plays Alice, an art gallery owner who’s a new friend of Selena’s character, Mabel. The smooch happens after Mabel, egged on by Alice, destroys a piece of art in the process of working through some of her issues, and then goes in for the kiss.

“It was definitely fun,” Cara recalls ABC Audio, but adds, “It was a very intense scene. And I think for those two characters, the way that it builds … clearly, Alice is kind of, you know, completely enticed by [Mabel] and just so astounded by her. It was just … they wrote it so well … it was just an amazing thing to be a part of.”

So, how was the kiss? “Of course it was wonderful kissing Selena!” Cara laughs. “Who wouldn’t like kissing Selena?”

But for Cara, the best part of being on Only Murders in the Building wasn’t making out with Selena — it was just spending time with her.

“We don’t get to hang out as much because we’re so busy. So being able to hang out all the time is like the nicest thing in the world,” says Cara. “[But] also working together, because she’s such a professional. She’s so good at what she does.”

“She’s so talented and so funny,” Cara says, adding, “Even if we weren’t friends, I’d be so blown away by her!”

Only Murders in The Building is now streaming on Hulu and has been renewed for a third season.

It feels like forever since the Jonas Brothers released their reunion album, Happiness Begins, in 2019. But while appearing on Live with Kelly & Ryan on Monday, Kevin Jonas revealed that new music is on the way — and the group is more proud of it than “anything we’ve ever done.”

Asked about the status of the new music, Kevin said, “We’ve been working on the album for a couple of years now. It’s funny, it’s many years [of work] that have come together in four weeks, you know? Like, you search and you work really hard and all of a sudden it happens!” He mentioned they’re finishing the album right now.

Asked how Kevin, Joe and Nick were able to coordinate their schedules to get the album done, Kevin told Ryan Seacrest, “You know, we’re all in different places, everyone’s got their different schedules. But we know that … let’s call it the ‘mother ship’ that is the Jonas Brothers … it’s our priority and it’s something we want to get right. I think it means too much to us.”

“But I can honestly say this is the most exciting and we’re the most proud of this music that we’ve ever been about anything we’ve ever done,” Kevin teased.

When asked when we might hear the music, Kevin said he wasn’t sure. When Ryan pressed him about whether or not we’ll see a new album before Christmas, Kevin swore he wasn’t holding back — he honestly doesn’t know.

Of course, there have been a few changes in the JoBros’ lives since 2019: Joe and his wife, Sophie Turner, welcomed their first child and are expecting another, while Nick and his wife, Priyanka Chopra, welcomed a baby girl via surrogate.

The Bros’ most recent single, “Who’s In Your Head,” came out in September 2021.

Next year, Vance Joy will launch a U.S. headlining tour in support of his new album, In Our Sweet Time. In addition to bringing the fresh material to the States, the Australian artist is planning on adding a new cover to the set.

“I love that song ‘Solsbury Hill’ by Peter Gabriel,” Vance tells ABC Audio. “It’s got a great guitar riff, so I’ve been learning that guitar riff. I’d love to be able to weave that into a song at some point.”

Vance is no stranger to including covers in his live shows and used to include a rendition of the Fleetwood Mac classic “The Chain” in the set — perhaps a surprising choice for the acoustic-based singer/songwriter. Even now, Vance wonders how he and his bandmates were able to pull it off.

“It’s funny looking back at the songs we’ve played,” Vance says. “Like, how did we even do ‘The Chain?” Like, it’s a proper guitar riff. But, we managed it.”

“Sometimes you look back and you go, ‘Jeez, we were pretty ambitious trying to cover such classic songs,'” he laughs. 

Vance’s U.S. tour kicks off in February. In Our Own Sweet Time, which features the singles “Missing Piece” and “Clarity,” is out now.

Disturbed has shared a preview of the band’s new single “Hey You.”

The “Down with the Sickness” outfit has tweeted a video featuring the first 30 seconds of the track, showcasing its opening riff and cutting off just as frontman David Draiman yelps the song’s title.

You’ll be able to hear the rest when “Hey You” premieres this Thursday, July 14.

“Hey You” is expected to be the first single off the next Disturbed album, the follow-up to 2018’s Evolution. No details about the record have officially been announced, but Draiman said in a tweet last month that he’s “very proud” of the “amazing” album, while adding it includes a “surprise track…that’s going to blow your minds.”

Looking back on his breakthrough album, Golden Road, Keith Urban says the songs have stood the test of time in a way he didn’t imagine when he was making the record 20 years ago.

Released in 2002, Golden Road features several of the Australia native’s signature hits, like “Somebody Like You” and “You’ll Think of Me,” and he attributes the album’s enduring success to its “good bones.” Golden Road debuted at #2 on the Billboard Top Country Albums chart and has since been certified triple Platinum. 

“Some of these songs have proved much more resilient than I imagined at the time, not that I was thinking that far ahead. I never have, I’m always in the moment. I wasn’t thinking about these songs being played 20 years later,” Keith explains. “It’s crazy, but I think they were built right from the beginning, and so they continue to have good bones … I think they can take a fresh coat of paint every few seasons and not lose their center, but still flow with the other songs really well.” 

Looking at his career as a whole, Keith notes that while his sound has evolved over time, the heart of his music hasn’t changed, one of the many ways his songs connect through the years. 

“I think for all the changes that I may have or not have made musically over the years, there is threads that go through all of it. I didn’t go make a speed metal record one year and then polka the next record. There’s threads through all of it, and I think playing live is the premier opportunity for me to show that those songs thread together and make sense together much more than sometimes albums alone,” he says. 

Keith recently dropped his new single, “Brown Eyes Baby.”
