As Ariana Grande nears the end of her Eternal Sunshine tour, she’s reflecting on what it’s meant to her — and how it compares to the last time she toured. For one thing, she can actually see her fans this time around.
Speaking to Jessica Vosk, who portrayed Elphaba in Wicked on Broadway, Ari says, “This tour has felt like such a beautiful corrective experience for me because I think my last tour I wasn’t necessarily in the same place in life and like I wasn’t able to be as present as I am this time.”
“And I also wasn’t wearing contact lenses,” she adds. “So to be able to literally, like, actually see and connect … with them in this way, and just to sing these songs that have been a part of our, like, relationship for like … 13 years at this point, and just see them and just see them dressed like just strange niche jokes and stuff — it’s just a very long, long term relationship.”
Ari’s chat with Jessica took place during her shows at Brooklyn, New York. She’s currently performing at London’s O2 Arena, and those dates wrap up Sept. 1, after which she plans to take a step back from the spotlight.
Megadeth frontman Dave Mustaine has announced a launch event celebrating the release of his upcoming book, In My Darkest Hour.
The event takes place Sept. 8 at the Kaufman Music Center in New York City, and will feature a conversation with Mustaine. Tickets include a pre-signed copy of the book.
In My Darkest Hour, which will be released Sept. 8, recounts Mustaine’s battle with throat cancer, with which he was diagnosed in 2019. It marks Mustaine’s third book, following Mustaine: A Heavy Metal Memoir and Rust in Peace: The Inside Story of the Megadeth Masterpiece.
Megadeth, meanwhile, is set to launch a North American tour with Iron Maiden on Aug. 29. It’s part of their world farewell tour in support of their final, self-titled album.

Wolf Alice has premiered a new song called “Hit the Sky.”
The track is included on Wolf Alice’s The Clearing: B Sides collection, which, as its title suggests, features recordings from the sessions for the band’s latest album, 2025’s The Clearing, that didn’t make the final cut.
“These are a few songs we made during The Clearing that didn’t make it on the final record, but are ones we love very much,” says frontwoman Ellie Rowsell. “We’re happy to have found a home for them for you to hear.”
The Clearing: B Sides is out now digitally, and will be released on vinyl Friday. It also includes the song “Gospel Oak” and a cover of “Hammond Song” by The Roches.

The late Jimmy Buffett will be celebrated with a new exhibit at the National Maritime Museum of the Gulf in Mobile, Alabama.
Jimmy Buffett: Son of a Son of a Sailor Experience, opening Sept. 12, is described as a 6,000-square-foot permanent installation that will feature not only rare Buffett artifacts and memorabilia, but an immersive concert experience.
According to the description, visitors will gain insight into Buffett “not only as a musician, but as an author, sailor, pilot, entrepreneur, adventurer, philanthropist, friend, and storyteller whose influence extended far beyond music.”
The exhibit will include such artifacts as Buffett’s 2023 Rock & Roll Hall of Fame statue; the guitar he used to write and perform “Son of a Son of a Sailor”; handwritten lyrics; never-before-released concert and recording footage; and more.
“Creating the Jimmy Buffett Experience has been an absolute honor for our entire team. We have spent nearly two years listening, researching, collecting stories, curating artifacts, and working to capture the remarkable life of a man who meant so much to so many people,” said Karen Poth, executive director of the National Maritime Museum of the Gulf. “We didn’t get far into this project before we realized this exhibition will never be a finished story. It is a living exhibit. And it will continue to change and grow as new stories are shared, new artifacts come to light, and we learn more about Jimmy and the world he created.”
The opening weekend will include a Sept. 11 performance featuring Coral Reefer Band members Mac McAnally and Scotty Emerick at the Saenger Theatre, as well as a Sept. 12 unveiling of a new bronze Jimmy Buffett sculpture.

Jonas Brothers are now Disney Legends, but part of that legend could have included Nick Jonas’ role in Frozen –– if only he hadn’t blown the audition.
In the new episode of the brothers’ Hey Jonas! podcast, they chat with Frozen stars Kristen Bell, Idina Menzel and Josh Gad, who will all appear in the upcoming third film in the series. During the talk, Nick reveals that he auditioned for the first film: specifically, for the role of Kristoff.
“I went in and they said, ‘Okay, what are you going to be singing today?’ I said, ‘Oh, I don’t know,'” Nick recalls. “They said, ‘What do you mean, you don’t know?’ And I said, ‘No one told me I had to [sing].'”
Nick went on to say that because he didn’t have any music with him, “I just said, ‘Can you play something from’ — I don’t know what I said, some musical theater song. And I bombed the audition. It was terrible.”
Josh Gad then joked, “You would’ve had such better chemistry with Kristen than [Jonathan] Groff” — the actor who ended up with the part.
Kevin Jonas then asked Nick if he was still with the agent who sent him to that audition. Nick said, “No, I’ve changed agencies three times since then!”
Despite that failure, things worked out pretty well for Nick: He’s gone on to book roles in at least a dozen other films.

It’s been a few days since Ravyn Lenae released her album Blue Island, and she’s pleased with fans’ response.
“The reception has been so good. I think people are already finding their favorites, which is fun. It’s good to hear that people are resonating with it,” she told Vibe Q.
Ravyn describes the album process as “the most dialed in I’ve felt internally.”
“People who’ve been following my career over the past eight, 10 years know that it’s been a lot of me exploring myself in every album and really pouring who I am at the time into it. And this one just feels like a compilation of all those things that make Ravyn Ravyn in a way,” she explained. “Especially with the past year and the reception of Bird’s Eye and ‘Love Me Not’ and having so many new eyes on me, it really made me have to look internally into like, ‘Okay, what is it I want to get off? What is it I want to say and leave for people so that they understand who Ravyn is and what type of artist she is?’ This really felt like that type of statement and arrival for me in a lot of ways.”
Featuring a mix of rock, soft rock, grunge and jazz influences, the project sees her “stepping into exactly who I want to be.”
“There’s something different about even the way I’m talking about my music, the album, and myself that feels more commanding, or just how I’m expressing myself in videos, on stage, using my body, using choreo,” Ravyn explained. “It feels like my artistry is manifesting in a really cool way that just feels almost animalistic and angsty.”

An unexpected gesture of kindness from Olivia Rodrigo almost made a college student “drop dead”: Olivia gave her $5,000 towards her final semester of college tuition.
The University of Alabama student, Jamie Causey, said in a TikTok video that she’d been keeping the news secret for over a year because she didn’t want it to become a “public spectacle.” According to Causey, Olivia messaged her and told her that she’d seen Causey’s video detailing how she was having a problem paying the tuition for her final semester.
“Hi girl! I know you don’t know me but I love your videos so much, you seem like the kindest coolest gal and you are such a source of positivity and light in my life!” Olivia wrote to Causey in a screenshot she shared in her TikTok video.
“I watched ur last vid about tuition and I’d love to help out if you were open at all to that? So cool that you are so close to graduating! Do you have a Venmo I could send to?”
As per a screenshot she shared, Causey wrote back, “Oh my god, hi! I love your music so much. … I’m actually about to cry.” She told Olivia her Venmo and added, “Honestly your music has been a source of strength for me and I just keep thinking this is a dream. Please don’t feel like you have to but at this point I’m willing to accept any help.”
She then shared a follow-up screenshot from Olivia’s team confirming that the singer was sending her $5,000.
“Olivia, I don’t know if you’ll ever understand how much that means to me,” Causey added. “You made me feel like I belong on this platform. You didn’t owe me anything. You just chose to show kindness to a stranger. You’ve always been about giving back to others, and that’s something I’ll take with me forever.”

Jack White has shared a response after country artist Charley Crockett reportedly said he lost respect for the “Seven Nation Army” rocker.
As you may recall, Crockett made headlines in July after the self-described “satanic doo wop” group Twin Temple said that they’d been dropped from opening for Crockett due to their use of “Satanic imagery.” White then got involved when he invited Twin Temple to open for his upcoming show in Los Angeles, which they then accepted.
According to Rolling Stone, Crockett addressed the whole saga in a since-deleted Instagram post, in which he wrote that White “used it to sell tickets too and I lost a lot of respect for him.” Crockett also maintained that Twin Temple was not let go due to “Satanic imagery,” but rather because of “production requests” that “raised eyebrows,” and that Crockett’s tour “couldn’t accommodate them physically.”
“We told em the vibe just wasn’t right for an all ages audience, and we paid em in full,” Crockett reportedly wrote.
White, meanwhile, has now taken to his Instagram to reply to Crockett, writing, “I never said nothing about this young buck before but since he’s trying to drag me into this here rodeo again, here’s my official response to Cowboy Charley’s accusations.”
The rest of the post contains the lyrics to the 1984 hip-hop song “Rappin’ Duke,” a novelty track in which artist Shawn Brown pretends to rap from the perspective of actor John Wayne. The track begins, “So you think you’re bad, with your rap/ Well I’ll tell ya pilgrim I started the crap.”
White’s LA show with Twin Temple takes place Sept. 29.
