The Weeknd is rooting for his home team.
The singer hyped up the Toronto Blue Jays in a new video touting the baseball team’s first playoff series win since 2016.
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.”
The Blue Jays lost their first American League Championship Series game against the Seattle Mariners on Sunday, 3-1. The teams face off again in Toronto Monday night.

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.

Two men have been charged for the murder of former Lostprophets singer and convicted child sex criminal Ian Watkins.
Watkins, 48, was attacked and killed Saturday at the HMP Wakefield prison in West Yorkshire, England, where he had been serving a 29-year sentence for charges including attempted rape and sexual assault of a child under 13.
“Detectives have charged two men with murder after the death of a prisoner at HMP Wakefield on Saturday,” reads a statement on the West Yorkshire Police website. “Ian Watkins aged 48 was pronounced dead after being seriously assaulted at HMP Wakefield on Saturday morning.”
Watkins was previously attacked in prison in 2023.
Lostprophets formed in Wales in 1997, and scored a string of rock and alternative radio hits in the mid-2000s with singles including “Last Train Home” and “Wake Up (Make a Move).” The band broke up in 2013 following the charges against Watkins.

During her first performance at this year’s Austin City Limits Festival on Oct. 4, Sabrina Carpenter sang with ’90s country icon Shania Twain. During her second appearance on Oct. 11, Sabrina sang with yet another iconic ’90s female country act: The Chicks.
Sabrina welcomed the group, formerly known as The Dixie Chicks, to the stage to sing their 1998 hit “Wide Open Spaces” with her. The two acts then teamed up for a rendition of Sabrina’s hit “Please Please Please.”
In the “Juno” portion of the show, during which she pretends to “arrest” someone in the audience, the lucky “criminal” was Olivia Dean, the U.K. singer/songwriter who’ll be opening for Sabrina when she resumes her Short n’ Sweet tour later this month.
On Instagram, Sabrina wrote, “ACL weekend 2 such a special night. Getting to sing wide open spaces/ please please please with @thechicks was a true highlight of my life!! getting to arrest @oliviadeano for being too beautiful was very fitting…. you were so loud and rowdy Texas i miss you already but i do nottt [sic] miss that heat thank you goodbye.”

Taylor Swift is giving fans what they’ve been wanting for some time now: a behind-the-scenes look at her Eras Tour.
ABC’s Good Morning America announced Monday that Disney+ will stream Taylor Swift | The Eras Tour | The End of an Era (Docuseries), a six-part series giving fans unprecedented access to the tour. It features appearances by Taylor’s family, friends and special guests, including Ed Sheeran, Gracie Abrams, Sabrina Carpenter and Florence Welch of Florence + the Machine.
The first two episodes of the docuseries will premiere Dec. 12, with two episodes following each week afterwards. But wait … that’s not all.
Also on Dec. 12, Disney+ will premiere Taylor Swift | The Eras Tour | The Final Show, a concert film captured at the final stop of the Eras Tour in Vancouver on Dec. 8, 2024. It features the entire Tortured Poets Department sequence of the show, which Taylor added following the April 2024 release of that album, live for the first time.
On Instagram, Taylor wrote, “It was the End of an Era and we knew it. We wanted to remember every moment leading up to the culmination of the most important and intense chapter of our lives, so we allowed filmmakers to capture this tour and all the stories woven throughout it as it wound down. And to film the final show in its entirety.”
The Eras Tour, which Taylor first announced on Good Morning America in November of 2022, kicked off March 17, 2023 and went on to gross over $2 billion and draw 10 million people, according to Taylor Swift Touring.
The movie capturing the trek, Taylor Swift: The Eras Tour, became the highest-grossing concert film of all time. A special version of the concert film, Taylor Swift: The Eras Tour (Taylor’s Version), is now streaming on Disney+.
Disney is the parent company of Disney+ and ABC News.
HARDY‘s a minimalist when it comes to album covers.
For the front of Quit!!, his 2024 rock album, he simply used a bar napkin someone shoved in his tip jar years earlier.
For his new COUNTRY! COUNTRY!record, it’s an orange background with a black-and-white picture of his face, encircled by a halo of stars, as if he were dazed. On either side, there’s a thought bubble with the title.
So, what gives?
“A lot of ideas got thrown around,” HARDY explains, “but I kind of like the quirkiness of the shot of me just sort of looking at the camera, like kind of smirking or just making my dumb, goofy face of like, ‘Here’s your country album.'”
But the self-deprecating star wants to make sure you know he didn’t mean anything by it.
“That didn’t come from frustration, but more of like, you know, I knew it was time to put out another country record. So, ‘Here you go!'”
Clearly the cover’s done its job, as the album’s first single, “Favorite Country Song,” is a top-20 hit, just as he prepares to launch THE COUNTRY! COUNTRY! TOUR! in February.

The Rock & Roll Hall of Fame announced the performers and presenters for this year’s induction ceremony on Wednesday, although they didn’t specify who those people would be honoring on induction night. Well, now Bad Company, one of this year’s inductees, is asking fans to guess who’ll be handling the duties for them.
The band shared a video on Instagram featuring frontman Paul Rodgers, who teased, “Yes it’s great that Bad Company are to be inducted into the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame and it’s also great that we will be inducted by … I can’t tell you, but you can guess.”
He then seemed to offer up a clue, turning around to show off the jacket he was wearing, which featured the logo for the legendary Sun Studios in Memphis, Tennessee.
The caption of the post asks fans to share their guesses for a chance to win a Bad Company T-shirt. They have until Nov. 3 to enter, with winners selected at random.
The initial lineup of performers and presenters for the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame ceremony include Elton John, Beck, Iggy Pop, Red Hot Chili Peppers’ bassist Flea, The Pretty Reckless’ Taylor Momsen and Twenty One Pilots, along with Brandi Carlile, David Letterman, and more.
Bad Company’s fellow inductees include Joe Cocker, Soundgarden, The White Stripes, Salt-N-Pepa, Chubby Checker and Outkast. In addition, Warren Zevon is being inducted in the Musical Influence category, while producer Thom Bell, guitarist Nicky Hopkins and bassist Carole Kaye will be inducted for Musical Excellence.
The 2025 Rock & Roll Hall of Fame induction ceremony is happening Nov. 8 in Los Angeles, and will stream live on Disney+ starting at 8 p.m. ET.
Bush’s Gavin Rossdale on ‘Jimmy Kimmel Live!’ (Disney/Randy Holmes)
Bush‘s new album I Beat Loneliness has a song called “60 Ways to Forget People,” which is 10 more ways than there are to leave your lover and 39 less than there are luftballons. If you’re wondering why exactly frontman Gavin Rossdale chose the number 60 for the track, he actually started off with another, much larger number.
“It began as 1000,” Rossdale tells ABC Audio.
Rossdale decided to change it, though, not because of any musical or rhythmic reason — “It actually sang really well,” he says — but because Bush already recorded a song called “1000 Years” for their last record, 2022’s The Art of Survival, and released a duet version of it with Amy Lee of Evanescence.
“So I was, like, ‘It can’t be 1000 again!'” Rossdale says.
To finally arrive on 60, Rossdale had to “go through a number of numbers to see what worked.”
I Beat Loneliness is out now. It also includes the single “The Land of Milk and Honey.”
