Will we be ending the spooky season with a new Limp Bizkit album?
Fred Durst appears to be teasing the arrival of the “Break Stuff” outfit’s long-awaited follow-up to 2011’s Gold Cobra, possibly hinting at a Halloween release date.
In a recent Instagram Story, Durst shared a preview of the upcoming record’s cover artwork, along with the caption, “Instead, all [pumpkin emoji] will drop on Halloween.”
Previously, Durst promised that the Bizkit was about to release new songs “one after the other in rapid succession.” So far, we’ve only got the new single “Dad Vibes,” which dropped in September following its live debut at Lollapalooza over the summer.
Ahead of the Friday release of his new album, = (Equals), Ed Sheeran is giving fans a preview of all 14 tracks on the project, via YouTube Shorts.
Ed has created a brief video clip for each song on the album, featuring a snippet of the song and some kind of visual. For “Shivers,” he’s wearing a suit and dipping his foot into a bathtub filled with ice water. In the song “First Times,” you can see Ed snuggling with his wife Cherry. The clip for “The Joker & the Queen” features Ed and Cherry’s two cats.
In the song “Visiting Hours,” written in memory of his late friend, concert promoter Michael Gudinski, Ed shows off “4 Things You Wish They’d Been There To See”: Ed’s new album, his wedding to Cherry, his daughter Lyra, and the fact that he accidentally ordered a pallet of Michael’s favorite wine.
You can watch all 14 of the Shorts, one after another, now on YouTube. You can also create your own videos using the clips, and post them with the hashtag #SheeranShorts. Ed wrote on Instagram that he’s going to “pick some favorites to win some custom signed artwork.”
“I had a really fun day shooting my YouTube Shorts,” said Ed in a statement. “I’ve always really enjoyed the music video process, so it was fun to explore a new way of doing that by channeling each song’s theme in a unique way, while also giving you a sneak peek of the album!”
Ed is currently quarantining, having announced over the weekend that he tested positive for COVID-19.
Following the title of their 2020 collabo, Future made sure “Life Is Good” for his longtime friend Drake by giving him a very special Rolls-Royce Phantom for his birthday. The Atlanta MC presented him with the same car Drizzy used to rent for $5,000 a month 14 years ago.
The “In My Feelings” rapper, who turned 35 Sunday, revealed the news on Instagram.
“Back in 2007 we used to finesse this Rolls-Royce Phantom rental to convince people in the city we were destined to make it,” Drake wrote with a video of him in the car years ago, and a new photo next to his gift over the weekend. “I used to scrape together 5k a month somehow to keep up appearances.”
“Today in 2021 my brother @futuretheprince tracked down the exact car I use to stress over and gifted it to me,” he continued. “It’s mine now. Manifestation complete. Thank you for all the love and appreciation and gifts and texts and dm’s…more than just loved I feel truly appreciated and that is the only gift I ever needed.”
Young Thug, whose new album Punk just replaced Drake’s Certified Lover Boy at number one on the Billboard 200 chart, also presented the Champagne Papi with a custom OVO chain, featuring a photo of him with his son Adonis on the back, according to Complex.
The Toronto superstar celebrated his 35th birthday Saturday night in LA with a big bash at Goya Studios attended by many stars, including Future, Chris Brown, Offset, Jack Harlow, Draya Michele, LA Clippers basketball star Kawhi Leonard, and French Montana, the latter of whom also performed, according to People. Drake was dressed wild wild West style, wearing a denim shirt, tan leather jacket with fringe and white cowboy hat.
The Beatles have gotten back into the top 10 of the Billboard 200 chart, thanks to the reissue of the band’s final studio album, 1970’s Let It Be.
The album, which spent four weeks at #1 on the chart in June and July of 1970, reenters the tally at #5 after earning 55,000 equivalent album units during the week following the reissue’s October 15 release.
About 48,000 of the units were for album sales, which made Let It Be the best-selling album of the week.
The Let It Be reissue was released in a variety of expanded formats and configurations, many of which featured previously unreleased tracks, including rehearsals, jams and alternate takes.
Sales and streams of all versions of the album were included when tabulating Billboard chart positions.
The reissue arrives in advance of the previously reported three-part documentary series The Beatles: Get Back, which focuses on the sessions that yielded Let It Be. The series, which was directed Peter Jackson, premieres on November 25, 26 and 27 on Disney+.
The Strokes guitarist Albert Hammond Jr. is launching his own brand of wine seltzer.
Called Jetway, the 5% ABV beverage is sourced from the McNary Vineyard in Washington State and does not include cane sugar or artificial flavors, according to manufacturers.
“Half the enjoyment of Jetway is its aroma — it takes you on a journey and makes you want to keep going back for another smell and taste,” Hammond says. “The color is beautiful and the bubbles playful.”
He adds, “I want Jetway to be the bridge to your next adventure, whatever that might be — hanging at home with friends, a night out or an exotic trip.”
Jetway is set to launch in Southern California this month, and will be available both at The Strokes’ show in Los Angeles on October 27 and during their performance this weekend at San Fransisco’s Outside Lands festival.
In related news, The Strokes have announced a New Year’s Eve show at the Barclays Center in Brooklyn, New York. Tickets go on sale this Friday, October 29, at 10 a.m. ET.
The Strokes also played Barclays on the last day of 2019. That show included the debut of the song “Ode to the Mets,” a track off the then-upcoming new Strokes album, The New Abnormal.
Bring Me the Horizon will be bringing the rock to Los Angeles twice next week.
Oli Sykes and company have announced an intimate show at the iconic Whisky a Go Go on November 3, two days before their performance at Slipknot‘s Knotfest L.A. on November 5.
Tickets to the Whisky show go on sale today at noon PT.
Bring Me the Horizon just released a new single called “DiE4u” last month. It’s the first preview of the next entry in the band’s Post Human EP series, the follow-up to 2020’s Post Human: Survival Horror.
You can also hear BMTH on “Let’s Get the Party Started,” a song off Rage Against the Machine guitarist Tom Morello‘s new solo album, The Atlas Underground Fire.
Luke Bryan‘s upcoming Las Vegas residency originally had a very different name when he began conceptualizing the show.
Luke reminisced with fellow American Idol judge Katy Perry, who is filling in as host on The Ellen DeGeneres Show, about brainstorming ideas for their upcoming residences at the Theatre at Resorts World in Las Vegas. While the pop superstar is opting for all the glitz and glam in her show, the country star’s approach is a bit more understated.
“I don’t know if we have lions, tigers and bears coming out,” Luke says.”Just music, that’s all you need right?” Katy remarks.
“Just music,” Luke affirms.
Luke also recalls talking to Katy a year ago talking about the concepts for their individual shows, but Luke admittedly wasn’t as far then into the planning process.
“You were like ‘what would encapsulate mine? I guess I could call it ‘Try Not to Puke with Luke,'” Katy reminisces, drawing a hearty laugh out of Luke.
“The beauty of it is most people probably won’t even remember our shows, they’ll have to buy another ticket,” the country hitmaker jokes. “Repeat customers. It’s the best policy.”
Luke’s residency takes over the Theatre at Resorts World for nine shows in February 2022. He and Katy are in the midst of production on American Idol season 20, airing on ABC in 2022.
Things aren’t always as they appear — just ask Saweetie.
After photos of the “Best Friend” rapper sitting next to Roddy Ricch at a Lakers game began to circulate online, so did rumors that the two were dating, which Saweetie seemed to swiftly shut down.
Taking to Twitter on Saturday, the 28-year-old artist wrote, “So avoid sitting next to men in public places otherwise the world assumes y’all are dating … got it,” followed by the green check mark emoji.
For what it’s worth, the two rappers don’t appear to be coupled up in the photos. Ricch has not yet addressed the speculation.
This isn’t the first time fans have stuck their nose in Saweetie’s romantic business. Fans previously pondered about her and fellow rapper Jack Harlow, who appeared on the remix to her hit “Tap In,” after he appeared to shoot his shot while on the red carpet at the 2021 BET Awards in June.
“Spill some tea on Jack Harlow,” wrote one fan, while another said,” So does @jackharlow have shot at tap tap taping in?”
Saweetie was previously in a long-term relationship with Migos rapper Quavo before announcing their split in March.
