Third Eye Blind will be celebrating their 25th anniversary on a U.S. headlining tour this summer.

Tickets go on sale this Friday, February 18. For the full list of dates and all ticket info, visit ThirdEyeBlind.com.
Third Eye Blind’s 1997 self-titled debut album turns 25 in April. The record spawned hit singles, including “Semi-Charmed Life,” “How’s It Going to Be” and “Jumper,” and has been certified six-times Platinum by the RIAA.
Last month, Third Eye Blind played a pair of intimate 25th anniversary shows in Los Angeles and New York City.
After Wells Fargo froze her accounts amid allegations she may be incapacitated, Wendy Williams is hitting back, saying her mental health is just fine.
According to a statement from her lawyer, LaShawn Thomas, “Wendy wants the world to know that she strenuously denies all allegations about her mental health and well-being.”
Williams was cut off from her financial assets after her former financial adviser, Lori Schiller, claimed she was not of sound mind and may be the victim of financial exploitation, USA Today reported. The talk show host has been absent from her TV show since July 2021 due to health complications from Graves’ disease, a thyroid illness.
“It saddens Wendy that Wells Fargo has chosen to believe the allegations of a former employee who is upset because she no longer has direct and unfettered access to Wendy’s financial affairs,” her lawyer’s statement continues, further declaring, “Wendy can’t believe that Wells Fargo has wrongly denied her access to her funds without justification.” The statement also says “Wells Fargo’s alleged suspicions were never raised until Wendy made it known that she no longer wanted to bank at Wells Fargo due to the bank’s mishandling of her complaints against her advisor.”
Williams has reportedly filed a restraining order against Wells Fargo in order to regain access to her funds. The bank has denied allegations of improper action.
Thomas’ statement adds, “Wendy wants you to know she is fine; she is of sound mind and disappointed about falsely circulated statements from an industry she has devoted her life to,” and that she’s “grateful for the love and the outpouring of support she has received from her fans and she can’t want to get back.”

The show’s engagement, which previously had been scheduled through March 6, now is scheduled to close after a performance on Sunday, April 3.
Six performances of the show are scheduled during a standard week — at 8 p.m. on Wednesdays, Thursdays and Fridays; at 5 p.m. and 9 p.m. on Saturdays and at 3 p.m. on Sundays. Tickets can be purchased by visiting AmericanUtopiaBroadway.com/tickets.

As previously reported, the American Utopia show features Byrne accompanied by 11 musicians, dancers and singers who move freely about an almost-empty stage. The production includes several Talking Heads songs, material from David’s 2018 American Utopia album, and other tunes from his solo catalog.
The show’s original Broadway run took place from October 2019 to February 2020 at the Hudson Theatre. After an 18-month layoff because of the COVID-19 pandemic, the production began a new run at the St. James Theatre in September of last year.
Well, this is certainly one way to celebrate Valentine’s Day.
Ice Nine Kills has premiered the video for “Take Your Pick,” a track off the band’s horror-themed new album, Welcome to Horrorwood: The Silver Scream 2. The animated clip — which, like the song, takes inspiration from the slasher film My Bloody Valentine — follows a masked murderer as they kill everyone in their path with a pickaxe.
Amid all the cartoon blood, there’s also an animated cameo by Cannibal Corpse vocalist Corpsegrinder, who guests on the song.
You can watch the “Take Your Pick” video streaming now on YouTube.
Ice Nine Kills released Welcome to Horrorwood last fall. It also features the single “Rainy Day.”
You can catch INK on the road this spring on the Trinity of Terror tour with Black Veil Brides and Motionless in White, kicking off in March.
All aboard Icy Air! Saweetie and H.E.R. will be your pilots this evening, taking you “Closer” to your destination.
Saweetie released the official music video for her collaborative single with H.E.R. on Valentine’s Day, which sees the two piloting a jet full of women around the world in search of some serious arm candy. The group trots the globe as the local men fawn all over them.
Of course, the duo are blinged out for their epic global adventure, from wearing glittering diamonds to shimmering, seductive dresses as men spoil them rotten. Saweetie scores herself several men, one of which showers her with designer shoes and other expensive gifts in Paris while another takes her to a private island for a private tennis lesson in the Philippines.
“Closer” is set to appear on Saweetie’s debut album, Pretty B**** Music. The studio effort is set to drop later this year after it was pushed back from its original June 2021 release date. The Grammy nominee has previously released the tracks “Tap In” and “Best Friend,” which features Doja Cat, to hype her forthcoming album.
Rage Against the Machine has unveiled the rescheduled dates for the postponed shows on the band’s much-anticipated reunion tour.
As previously reported, the “Killing in the Name” outfit announced this past January that the first half of the upcoming outing, including dates scheduled from March 31 in El Paso, Texas, to May 23 in Detroit, would be delayed. Those shows are now set to take place in February, March and April of 2023.
Previously purchased tickets will be honored for the rescheduled dates. Those who can no longer attend the shows have until March 15 to request a refund.
The second leg of the tour, which kicks off in July and will conclude with a five-night stand at New York City’s Madison Square Garden in August, is still on to run as scheduled.

Rage Against the Machine had originally scheduled the tour for 2020 after announcing their reunion in 2019, ending the hiatus they’d been on since 2011. The outing’s been postponed a number of times amid the COVID-19 pandemic. In between all the rescheduling, Rage dropped off the lineups for festivals including Coachella and Boston Calling.

Lauren Alaina is officially a member of the Grand Ole Opry — with a little help from Garth Brooks and Trisha Yearwood.
During the Opry’s Saturday night broadcast, the “Road Less Traveled” singer became the Opry’s newest member when she was inducted by Trisha, who also extended the invite in December.
“Since I was a little girl, I’ve dreamed of this moment,” Lauren said through tears, calling the honor “the biggest dream come true.” “Most little girls dream of their weddings, I dreamed of this.”
The night was made even more special for the new inductee when Trisha invited husband Garth onstage to play guitar on “Walkaway Joe,” much to Lauren’s shock and awe. The two Georgia natives traded vocals on the classic country hit, with Lauren giving Garth a hug as he strummed the melody.
At 27, Lauren is now the youngest living member of the Grand Ole Opry.
Now that Rihanna no longer needs to hide her pregnancy, the “Umbrella” singer can step back into the public eye and continue doing what she loves — making people happy. Over the weekend, she and boyfriend A$AP Rocky shocked fans when they decided to pay a surprise visit to one of her Savage X Fenty stores.
Peoplereports that the couple, both 33, crashed the Savage X Fenty store at the Westfield Culver City mall in Los Angeles. Rihanna wore a Valentine’s Day ensemble comprised of a striking crimson hooded robe and matching strappy heels that showed off her white pedicure.
As for her boyfriend, A$AP Rocky wore matching red and white trainers along with a blue-gray pinstripe tuxedo, white undershirt and black tie.
The two posed for photo ops around the store, including in front of mannequins that were modeling signature pieces from Rihanna’s new Valentine’s Day line.
Rihanna’s Savage X Fenty stores transitioned from an online-only platform to brick and mortar locations this year, with the first location opening in Las Vegas in January. She plans to open more locations in Houston, Philadelphia and Washington, D.C.
The “Diamonds” singer first announced she was opening physical Fenty stores via Twitter on January 7, and said in a subsequent tweet, “[I] can’t believe it’s actually that time, and I can’t wait for you to have this experience irl.”
Could we possibly see The Jonas Brothers take over the Super Bowl Halftime show? Nick Jonas certainly hopes so.
Speaking with People, the “Jealous” hitmaker says taking center stage during the Big Game is on his and his brothers’ “bucket list,” for sure. “It’s been a dream for us,” he expressed. “I hope one day we get to do it!”
While the trio will have to wait to see if the NFL decides to grant their wish, Nick did make a small appearance during Sunday night’s Super Bowl. He teamed with a different trio — the Jones trio comprised of Leslie Jones, Tommy Lee Jones and Rashida Jones — for Toyota’s Big Game commercial.
The ad sees the three Joneses racing in their new Toyota Tundra trucks and pulling stunts definitely meant for the professionals before arriving at their destination. When Jonas pulls up and tries worming his way into the Jones trio, noting the similarity of their last names, 75-year-old Tommy Lee Jones barks, “Try to keep up, whoever you are.”
Nick said the Men in Black actor created some of the “funniest moments” while filming because he would improvise his lines. “I think the line he says ‘Whoever you are’ was an improv line, and it made me laugh hard every time he said it,” he said.
Nick, who recently welcomed his first child with wife Priyanka Chopra, said he has big plans for this year. “I also have a lot of creative ventures that I am working on now, both on the music side of things but also on the film, television, and development side,” he teased. “I am really looking forward to getting those things up and going, and I am excited for this next step in my career.”
Jason Aldean declares himself a rock n’ roll cowboy with his new tour.
On Monday, the ACM Artist of the Decade announced that he’s launching the 34-date Rock N’ Roll Cowboy Tour, with Gabby Barrett, John Morgan and Dee Jay Silver set to open.
It begins on July 15 in Scranton, PA and continues through October 29, when it wraps in Wichita, KS. Along the way, Jason and crew will stop at Nashville’s Bridgestone Arena, the Smoothie King Center in New Orleans, and for a two-night stay at Bank of NH Pavilion.
The Rock N’ Roll Cowboy Tour is named after a track off Jason’s upcoming album, Macon, Georgia, that he says is “all about knowing you belong on the road.”
“I’m ready to get back out and feel the nights come alive,” he adds.
