Harry Styles is playing multiple shows in seven cities for his upcoming Together, Together tour. The singer is set to perform 30 nights at New York’s Madison Square Garden, for example, and 12 nights at London’s Wembley Stadium. While fans may be upset about having to travel farther to come see him, he insists both him and the show will be superior.

Asked to explain this mini-residency model, Harry tells Apple Music’s The Zane Lowe Show, “I think it makes the show better. I think you can build something that doesn’t have to travel every night. I think the show itself is better.”

He adds it will also be greater since longer stays in one location “allows me to stay in my life while I’m doing it.” “I think [it] allows me to take care of myself better, which I think makes me better at doing the thing,” he explains.

“It’s not like I’m saying I’ll never travel again, but I want to see what it looks like if you do it a different way,” he continues, noting it terrified him to think about returning and doing “the exact same thing.”

Harry reasons that touring this way also makes things easier for the people who go on the road with him.

“People in my band have families now and kids and some aspect of that too,” he notes. “It’s really important to me that they’re on the road, that I would love to have them. I don’t want to make it like near impossible for them to be able to come do that with me.”

The Together, Together tour starts in May in Amsterdam.

Sharon Osbourne has shared more details about the return of Ozzfest.

During the latest episode of The Osbournes Podcast, Sharon says the plan is for the festival to return in 2027 in the Aston area of the late Ozzy Osbourne’s hometown of Birmingham, England, before coming over to the U.S.

“We want to do two days in Aston Villa and then come to America,” Sharon says. “We want to hear from everyone where we should go in America.”

Sharon adds that she hopes Ozzfest will return to a full touring festival by 2028.

Sharon founded Ozzfest, which, of course, is named after Ozzy, in the ’90s. It became a staple of the late ’90s and early 2000s hard rock and metal scene, helping propel the careers of bands including Linkin Park, Slipknot and Deftones.

The last Ozzfest was held on New Year’s Eve 2018 in Los Angeles. It marked Ozzy’s final full-length live performance before the 2025 Back to the Beginning concert, during which he played a solo set with the reunited Black Sabbath. Ozzy died just over two weeks later on July 22.

In related news, Sharon teased during a panel at the 2026 MIDEM conference in France that a statue of Ozzy will debut on the grounds of the French festival Hellfest. 

Hellfest previously unveiled a statue of Ozzy’s longtime friend and collaborator, late Motörhead frontman Lemmy Kilmister.

The teaser trailer for Lanterns has arrived.

HBO Max released the first trailer for its upcoming DC Studios superhero TV series on Wednesday, one day earlier than originally planned.

Kyle Chandler, Aaron Pierre and Kelly Macdonald star in the upcoming show, which will make its debut in August.

Lanterns follows a new recruit named John Stewart (Pierre) and Hal Jordan (Chandler). The two intergalactic cops are “drawn into a dark, earth-based mystery as they investigate a murder in the American heartland,” according to the show’s official logline.

“With all due respect, we’ve been training for, what, two months? And I haven’t even worn the ring yet,” Pierre’s Stewart says in the teaser trailer.

“Don’t get hung up on the jewelry, junior,” Chandler’s Hal Jordan says in response. “You’re just a f****** substitute teacher. You’re not ready to get up in front of the class until the ring says you are.”

Hal then shrugs and says, “But alright,” before leaving the ring on the dashboard and jumping out of the driver’s seat of the car he was driving.

Later in the trailer, Hal calls this instance “training.”

True Detective: Night Country‘s Chris Mundy is the showrunner for Lanterns. He writes the program alongside Watchmen‘s Damon Lindelof and DC comic creator Tom King.

Charlie Puth has just picked up a side gig: He’s now the chief music officer of AI platform Moises.

Moises was designed by musicians and is used by more than 70 million musicians worldwide, according to a press release. It lets artists do things like isolate vocals and instruments, identify chords and come up with new arrangements. What it doesn’t do is create an entirely new song out of nowhere — it’s more of a creative tool.

“I’ve been using Moises in my own creative process for years, as have many of my friends,” Charlie says in a statement. “It opens up possibilities that used to take hours or expensive studio setups.”

“AI, when done right, isn’t here to replace musicians,” he adds. “It’s here to help artists learn, explore, and bring their ideas to life.”

In his new role Charlie will “collaborate on artist-focused features, help shape creative direction, and ensure the platform continues to reflect how musicians actually work,” according to the release.

Now through March 31, Charlie and Moises are running a global remix competition, where you can create your own remix or cover of Charlie’s song “Beat Yourself Up” from his new album, Whatever’s Clever! Charlie will select the winners, who will receive $100,000 in cash and prizes, as well as a meet-and-greet at Charlie’s New York City show on May 29. You can enter now at Moises.ai.

Ray J’s mother, Sonja Norwood, is setting the record straight about his health following speculation that his heart condition was a hoax.

She addressed the rumors in a recent Instagram Live. “It’s just really gotten out of hand when someone thinks that my son is faking his health, or that it’s a hoax or a joke,” she said. “To everyone who has genuinely been concerned and prayed for him, I want to thank you. It takes a lot of prayers and positive thoughts for things to change.”

Sonja shared details about Ray J’s diagnosis, which came after he was hospitalized in January.

Sonja said she and her husband traveled to Las Vegas after getting a call from his friend, where they found Ray suffering from chest pain and bundled up in a hoodie because he was cold.

Doctors later performed an angiogram, which Sonja said revealed he had a serious heart disease. He was later diagnosed with cardiomyopathy and given medications to help increase blood flow to his heart. 

Ray J, who doctors said could’ve suffered a heart attack if he hadn’t checked himself into the hospital, was discharged after a week and advised to follow up with a local cardiologist, according to Sonja.

He was told he can work, stream and remain active with limitations, though she worries he may push himself too hard.

Sonja then asked for more prayers from his fans, before reiterating that her son’s condition is not a joke.

“This isn’t fake. It’s not a hoax, and it’s not about attention,” she said. “This is a serious situation. He is better. He will improve.”
