Former KISS guitarist Ace Frehley has canceled the remainder of his 2025 tour.

The rocker initially canceled a show at the Antelope Valley Fair in Lancaster, California, on Sept. 26 after injuring himself in a fall, but now Frehley has cleared his schedule for the year.

“Due to some ongoing medical issues, Ace has made the difficult decision to cancel the remainder of his 2025 dates,” reads a post on Frehley’s Instagram.

He currently has one 2026 date on the books; he’s due to play Highland, California, on Feb. 26.

Frehley initially announced that despite the California cancellation he was still hard at work in the studio, sharing that he looked forward to “finishing work on his next album, Origins Vol. 4.”

Origins Vol. 2 is a covers album that was released in 2020. Origins Vol. 3 is expected out sometime in 2025, although no release date has been revealed.

Foo Fighters have met a few new feathered friends while on tour in Asia.

The band has posted a video on Instagram of Dave Grohl narrating footage of different birds he’s seen during the ongoing tour.

“So great meeting our new fans!!!” the post’s caption reads. It also tags National Geographic — maybe if this music thing doesn’t work out, Grohl can start another career as a nature documentarian.

Foo Fighters’ tour of Asia continues Tuesday in Tokyo. The trek follows a recent run of pop-up last-minute U.S. dates, which marked the Foos’ first with new drummer Ilan Rubin.

Rush’s Geddy Lee and Alex Lifeson have been asked plenty of times over the years whether Rush would ever go back on tour, and apparently that answer is yes.

The rockers have announced dates for the Fifty Something tour, which will mark their first trek since wrapping the R40 tour in 2015. It will also be their first tour since the death of drummer Neil Peart in 2020.

“It’s been over 10 years since Alex and I have performed the music of Rush alongside our fallen bandmate and friend Neil,” says Geddy. “After all that has gone down since that last show, Alex and I have done some serious soul searching and come to the decision that we f***** miss it, and that it’s time for a celebration of 50-something years of Rush music.”

Playing drums on the tour will be Anika Nilles, who previously worked with the late Jeff Beck. Geddy calls Anika “an incredible drummer and musician.”

The tour will hit seven cities across the U.S., Canada and Mexico, with the band playing two sets each night, promising new sets for each show. The trek kicks off June 7 in Los Angeles and wraps Sept. 17 in Cleveland.

A Rush artist presale will begin Oct. 13 at 10 a.m. local time for the U.S. and Canada, and Oct. 16 at 12 p.m. local time for Mexico. Fans need to register in advance for a chance to participate. Tickets will go on sale to the general public on Oct. 17 at 12 p.m. local time for the U.S. and Canada, and 11 a.m. local time for Mexico.

A complete list of dates and more ticket information can be found at Rush.com.

Jack Osbourne opens up about the death of his father Ozzy Osbourne and reading the metal legend’s posthumous memoir, Last Rites, in an interview with ABC’s Good Morning America.

“I think the last chapter’s the hardest,” Jack tells ABC News’ Chris Connelly of Last Rites. “[Ozzy] was happy. He was in such a good mood.”

In the book, Ozzy writes, “If I’d been clean and sober, I wouldn’t be Ozzy. If I had done normal, sensible things, I wouldn’t be Ozzy.”

“There’s definitely some truth to that,” Jack says. “But here’s the thing, he was clean and sober at the end. And he was still Ozzy.”

Ozzy died on July 22, just over two weeks after he performed live for the last time at the Back to the Beginning concert on July 5 in his hometown of Birmingham, England.

“None of us expected it to be like this, with that outpour of love,” Jack says of the response to Ozzy’s passing.

In regards to how his mother, Sharon Osbourne, is doing, Jack shares, “When people have been asking me that question, I say, ‘She’s OK, but she’s not OK.'”

“I know she feels the love,” he adds.

Last Rites is due out Tuesday.

Taylor Swift says it’s ‘shockingly offensive’ to suggest that she’ll stop making music after marriage

Taylor Swift says fans need to calm down: Just because she’s getting married doesn’t mean she’ll stop making records.

While appearing on The Scott Mills Breakfast Show on BBC Radio 2, Taylor was asked if The Life of a Showgirl was going to be her last album, with Mills noting that he saw fans theorizing that she’d get married and have children and stop making music.

“No!” Taylor replied, adding that that idea is “a shockingly offensive thing to say. It’s not why people get married, so that they can quit their job.”

Taylor went on to note that she’s marrying a guy who “loves what I do and he loves how much I am fulfilled by making art and making music” — which is why she’d never stop.

“That’s the coolest thing about Travis, like he’s so, he is so passionate about what he does, that me being passionate about what I do, it connects us,” she explained. “There’s no point in time where he’s gonna be like, ‘I’m really upset that you’re still making the music, the music thing that I signed up for, that I knew you love, I thought you were gonna stop doing that.’”

“[It’s] the most fun thing in the world to be able to support each other,” she added.

Travis supported Taylor by attending her Official Release Party of a Showgirl theatrical event, along with his mom Donna Kelce. He has said that his favorite song on the record is “Opalite.”
