Neil Diamond was honored with the Inspirational Lifetime Achievement Award at Saturday’s 39th annual Carousel Ball, which took place in Denver.
The event celebrates the work of the Barbara Davis Center for Diabetes and raised over $2 million for the Children’s Diabetes Fund. The award honored Diamond for his “incredible service and dedication to the BDC and the role he has played in advancing type 1 diabetes care and clinical research.”
“I’ve been through it all now, and I’m still coming back for more,” said Diamond. “I’m proud to be a champion for this cause and grateful to be part of a night that brings hope to so many. Thank you, thank you and thank you.”
Actor Hugh Jackman, who stars alongside Kate Hudson in the new movie Song SungBlue, about a couple in a Neil Diamond tribute band, offered up video congratulations to Diamond.
“I’m thrilled you’re getting this award, because you are inspirational — not just through your music and creativity, but through your heart and your generosity,” Jackman said.
He added, “As a performer myself, you inspire me every single day. The way you connect with audiences, the way you connect to your music, the authenticity of who you are, it’s everything to me.”
The night included a Diamond performance. The singer, who in 2018 retired from touring after being diagnosed with Parkinson’s disease, was joined by Nick Fradini, who played him in The Neil Diamond Musical: A Beautiful Noise, for a performance of Diamond’s 1969 hit “Sweet Caroline.”

Kelly Hansen played his final show with Foreigner Saturday in Atlantic City, New Jersey.
Fan-shot footage posted to YouTube shows a tearful Hansen thanking the band’s crew, his manager, his friends and, of course, the fans.
“If I could even string together the number of times that I’ve had experiences with fans — or, I don’t like to call you guys fans, I like to call you guys people who love music, appreciate music, you know,” he said. “My whole life since I was 17, it’s been great people who come to shows, thank you for that.”
“Thank you all for all of your support,” he added. “I’ve been in this business I think about 48, 49 years. I’ve put in my time. I spent 20 years with this fantastic band singing a catalog of songs that a singer couldn’t dream of. And thank you.”
The band then began their encore, with Kelly telling the crowd, “Now we have one last job to do. You guys need to be members of the band,” before launching into their #1 hit “I Want To Know What Love Is.”
Hansen joined Foreigner in 2005, following Lou Gramm’s departure in 2003. Foreigner guitarist Luis Maldonado will be taking over frontman duties when they launch a Canadian tour Oct. 21 in St. John’s, Newfoundland. A complete list of Foreigner dates can be found at Foreigneronline.com.

Now that September’s ended and Billie Joe Armstrong is wide awake, the Green Day frontman made a surprise appearance at Dua Lipa‘s concert in San Francisco on Sunday.
During her ongoing tour, the pop star has been inviting up or covering artists related to the city she’s playing. In introducing Armstrong, who famously is from the Bay Area, Lipa told the crowd, “Immediately when I thought about San Francisco, and I thought about all the incredible music that has come out of here, I thought about one band in particular that would be perfect.”
“I love this band for so many different reasons,” Lipa continued. “I love it because of the rawness, the authenticity, the message behind it, the space that it holds for people who feel sometimes they might not belong. I loved listening to this album in particular when I was little, I would put the CD in the Walkman and just kind of sing my heart out.”
Armstrong then took the stage and joined Lipa for a rendition of the American Idiot single “Wake Me Up When September Ends.”
Green Day, meanwhile, recently wrapped their world tour supporting the band’s latest album, 2024’s Saviors. Their next release is a 25th anniversary reissue of their 2000 album, Warning, due out Nov. 14.

The Weeknd is rooting for his home team.

Set to his song “Timeless” with Playboi Carti, the video features a highlight reel of the team and a voice-over from The Weeknd.
“Timeless moments, we’ve had a few,” he says. “Pieces of history turned into everlasting memories. Now, these Blue Jays, armed with a new edge and a never-say-die attitude, find themselves on the brink of a legacy all on their own. Our city, buzzing. Our nation, consumed. Canada’s team just one step closer to fulfilling the ultimate goal.”

All Time Low cut their concert short Sunday at the Red Rocks Amphitheatre in Morrison, Colorado, due to vocal issues affecting frontman Alex Gaskarth.
Gaskarth explains in a Facebook post that he woke up Sunday morning feeling under the weather and “did everything I could to nurse it” ahead of the show.
“But one song into the set I knew that something was different, and that singing felt wrong in a way that I just couldn’t risk pushing through and potentially causing irreversible damage,” Gaskarth writes. “In our 20+ years of touring, I have never dealt with a voice-loss issue quite as debilitating on stage as this.”
Gaskarth plans to visit a specialist Monday and will share an update when he knows more.
“I also want to say such a massive thank you to all of you out there in the audience for being so understanding and kind to me in a moment of vulnerability and powerlessness,” Gaskarth writes. “I’m disappointed and feeling sad like you wouldn’t believe, buy your voices in that place felt like a warm hug when I really need it.”
All Time Low has been on tour in support of their upcoming album, Everyone’s Talking!, due out Friday. The outing is currently scheduled to continue Tuesday in Seattle.

Carlos Santana wants everyone to know he has no problem with Bad Bunny being the Super Bowl halftime show headliner.
The Rock & Roll Hall of Famer has issued a statement after false reports circulated on the internet that claimed he criticized the NFL for choosing Bad Bunny as the 2026 headliner.
“I congratulate and celebrate Bad Bunny’s success and his position right now with the world and with the Super Bowl,” read the statement. “I feel total oneness with what he’s doing because we are here to utilize art to complement and bring the world closer to harmony and oneness.”
“However, we’re living in a time of fear, division, separation, superiority and inferiority. Fear is the flavor right now,” he continued. “Fear is what motivates ignorant people to put words in my mouth – saying that I didn’t want Bad Bunny to be represented at the Super Bowl. I never said that, nor would I ever.”
“Just to be clear, my heart is in total harmony with Bad Bunny, and I celebrate his success, his triumph and his phenomenal achievement. Anything other than that is coming from people’s ignorance,” he added.
Santana noted that those who believe the “fabricated comments” out there about Bad Bunny “are not in harmony with themselves.”
“The people who make up such things – I invite them to do something more creative with their energy,” he said. “If you’re going to create a dialogue, create a dialogue for America of unity, harmony and oneness. Lord knows we need it right now.”
“In conclusion, let me say this: Santana is all about bringing unity, harmony, oneness, hope, courage, enthusiasm, light, spirit and soul,” the statement concluded. “Peace in your heart, peace in your mind, peace in your family. We are one – peace on Earth!”
The first ever Bridge School Benefit concert was held at the Shoreline Amphitheatre in Mountain View, California.
Organized by Neil Young and his wife Pegi Young, the concert raised money for the Bridge School, which assists children with severe physical impairments and communication needs. Pegi was one of the co-founders of the school and was inspired to start it when she couldn’t find a school for her non-verbal son.
The night’s performers included Crosby, Stills, Nash & Young, Bruce Springsteen, Tom Petty, Don Henley and E Street Band guitarist Nils Lofgren, with the artists performing primarily acoustic sets.
With the exception of 1987, a Bridge School benefit was held every year until 2016, with artists like Billy Idol, Bob Dylan, Pearl Jam, Elton John, R.E.M., The Who, Foo Fighters, Beck and Metallica performing over the years.
The final Bridge School concerts happened Oct. 22 and 23, 2016. In January 2017, following Neil and Pegi’s divorce, they announced the end of the Bridge School concerts.
