Charlie Puth and his wife, Brooke Puth, are about to become first-time parents — but to only one child, thank you very much.
On his Instagram Story, Charlie posted a screenshot of a Facebook post that purportedly shows him and “Brooke” — a woman who doesn’t actually look anything like her — grinning and holding up two sonograms, one of “Baby A” and one of “Baby B.” The photo has the caption, “Charlie Puth and his wife have received the joyful news that they’re expecting their first set of twins.”
“If you couldn’t tell … this is obviously fake lol,” Charlie captioned the Story.
Charlie and Brooke got married in September 2024. Last year they announced in the video for Charlie’s song “Changes” that they were expecting their first child by showing a quick glimpse of Charlie putting his hand on Brooke’s belly.

Badflower has canceled the remainder of their U.S. tour, citing “an ongoing health issue with the band.”
“We are very sorry to have to do this,” the “Ghost” rockers write in a Facebook post. “Please get a refund at point of purchase and we look forward to coming back soon!”
Frontman Josh Katz has been dealing with vocal issues during the tour, to the point that during a Feb. 27 show in Salt Lake City, he cut the set short and told the crowd he was ending the trek. In an update posted March 2, Katz shared a video from a doctor’s office and clarified that the tour was not canceled.
“The important thing for me, right now, is that mentally I feel supported,” Katz said. “Certainly enough to continue with this tour and continue my career.”
The tour did continue for another week before making the official cancellation announcement. Eight shows are affected.

Pearl Jam guitarist Mike McCready has announced a new graphic novel called Farewell to Seasons.
The book, which will be published by Z2, presents a “historical fantasy” set in the Seattle music scene of the ’80s and ’90s, told from the perspective of a fictional musician named David Williams.
“It’s a story I’ve been developing for many years, inspired by the creativity, community, and chaos of the Seattle music scene,” McCready says in a statement.
Deluxe editions of Farewell to Seasons will be accompanied by a rock opera of original music recorded by McCready.
“I’ve had a great time bringing this project to life with Z2, and I hope people enjoy the journey as much as I did creating it,” McCready says.
Farewell to Seasons is due out Oct. 6 and is available to preorder now via Z2Comics.com.
While Megan Moroney’s still metaphorically floating around on Cloud 9 after the release of her new record, in real life she’s pretty busy these days.
The “Beautiful Things” hitmaker made her first appearance on The Drew Barrymore Show on Wednesday, tasting unusual flavors of ramen and bonding with Drew over post-breakup paybacks. She also reminisced about coming face to face with more than 15,000 fans during her recent 9 Cities. 9 Days promo tour.
A day earlier, Megan added another feat to her list of accomplishments, selling out her Tuesday debut at RodeoHouston. The Georgia native rode to the stage in her Cloud 9 pink Bronco before delivering a set that included “6 Months Later,” “Am I Okay?,” “Tennessee Orange” and a dozen more songs.

A long list of artists will pay homage to Billy Joel at Carnegie Hall Thursday by performing his songs during the latest installment of the annual Music Of charity concert, which raises money for music education for underserved youth. And according to his daughter Alexa Ray Joel, Billy will be in the house.
The Piano Man has been sidelined from performing since last year due to a diagnosis of normal pressure hydrocephalus, a neurological condition that affects balance, vision and hearing. But as Alexa tells The Hollywood Reporter, “I said, ‘Dad, you better be there! This is Carnegie Hall. Everyone’s paying tribute to you, and it’s an amazing group of artists.’”
“He was like, ‘Let me mark that down.’ He’s very organized with his little calendar,” adds Alexa. “He was so excited when he first played Carnegie Hall in the ’70s, so it’s exciting for him to come back decades later and see amazing artists and his daughter pay tribute to him. It’s a full-circle moment.”
As for her dad’s health, Alexa tells the publication, “He’s doing physical therapy regularly and he’s doing great. He’s lost weight as he’s on his diet.” She adds, “I’m so proud of him. He’s such a [trouper], so resilient and committed to being healthy and proactive. He’s a fighter. He’s always been a fighter.”
Alexa told The Hollywood Reporter that during Thursday’s show she’ll perform a song of her dad’s that she’s never covered before. She — and all the artists on the bill — will be backed by Billy’s longtime touring band.
Other artists paying tribute to Billy on Thursday night include Rob Thomas, Gavin DeGraw, Train’s Pat Monahan, Andrew McMahon, Tanya Tucker, Matt Nathanson, Rufus Wainwright, Wyclef Jean and Itzhak Perlman.

Metallica on ‘Jimmy Kimmel Live!’ (ABC/Randy Holmes)
Let it be known that if you make a promise, Metallica will make sure you follow through.
Ahead of the latest edition of the metal legends’ annual marching band competition, Barry Flowe, the band director at Bridgewater College in Bridgewater, Virginia, declared that he’d get a ‘Tallica tattoo if his band placed in the top three.
Sure enough, Bridgewater earned second place in the Division 2/Division 3 category, which meant Flowe had an inky pact to fulfill. Bassist Robert Trujillo even reminded Flowe of his promise in a video announcing the winners.
As documented on Metallica’s Instagram, Flowe did follow through, and got a tattoo featuring the Metallica logo and the Bridgewater eagle mascot.
“Nice ink, Barry!” Metallica writes in the post’s caption.

Lady A made what may turn out to be a rare 2026 concert appearance Wednesday night in Nashville.
Hillary Scott, Charles Kelley and Dave Haywood played an exclusive show in the Country Music Hall of Fame’s CMA Theater in front of an audience made up solely of museum members.
Known as The Big Gig, the night is one of the perks of museum membership, which you can learn more about online.
The trio’s set included hits you’d expect like “Need You Now” and “Downtown.” Pending a major tour announcement, chances to see Lady A in 2026 may be at a premium, since there are only eight concerts on their schedule at this point.
