Jack White has shared a rare photo of his son HenryLee White in celebration of a birthday milestone.
The rocker posted a photo of him and his lookalike son on Instagram, along with a shot of White holding his son as a baby.
“Want to wish a very Happy 18th birthday to my one and only son Henry Lee White!” the White Stripes rocker wrote. “Been proud of this young man since day one! Keep being you Hank.”
Henry Lee is one of two children Jack has with his second wife, model and singer Karen Elson. Their daughter, Scarlett Teresa White, was born in 2006.
White is currently married to musician Olivia Jean, whom he wed in 2022 on stage during one of White’s shows at the Masonic Temple in Detroit.
White has only one more show scheduled for this year. He’s set to play the CBGB Festival in Brooklyn, New York, on Sept. 27.
Offset opens up about his life after Migos in a new episode of Carmelo Anthony‘s 7PM in Brooklyn podcast.
After over 10 years with the group, he says he left to begin his solo career because his artistic growth was stunted. The success he was able to achieve with Migos, however, would play into the decisions he made with music releases.
“See me going solo and s***– that’s why I wait and I particularly put s*** out because the standard I done set myself so high that I can’t slip,” Offset said. “So that pressure, that s*** be hard but you got to always remember what people godd*** love you for and what they f*** with you for no matter what.”
He noted that he and Quavo have buried the hatchet since going their separate ways in 2022. “We holla at each other every other week,” Offset said. “That’s family at the end of the day. You’re gonna bump heads with your family sometimes, but ain’t nobody playing with me, ain’t nobody playing with him … nobody.”
Migos consisted of three members: Offset, Quavo and the late Takeoff, who shot and killed outside a bowling alley in 2022.
The full episode, in promotion of Offset’s upcoming album, Kiari, is now available to watch on YouTube. Kiari arrives on Aug. 22.

Bonnie Raitt is showing her support for comedian Stephen Colbert, whose late night talk show, The Late Show with Stephen Colbert, was canceled by CBS.
The Rock & Roll Hall of Famer shared video on Instagram of some of her performances on The Late Show, writing, “In light of the shocking cancellation of @colbertlateshow with Stephen Colbert (set to end next May,) we want to send along our support and appreciation for what he means to us and the crucial right to have free expression in a healthy democracy.”
“We know his brilliant, beloved and important place in our culture will continue to evolve in some new, exciting way,” the post adds. “We wish him and his incredible team all the best and are so grateful for what they continue to give us all. He’s number 1 in the late night market for a reason. Unstoppable!”
Performances featured in the post include Raitt’s last appearance in June 2022, where she performed “Blame It On Me” from her album Just Like That…, as well as a 2019 performance of John Prine’s “Angel From Montgomery,” which the post says was one of Colbert’s favorite tunes.
CBS announced in July that the network was canceling The Late Show saying it was a “financial decision.” The longtime franchise will end in May 2026 after more than 30 years on air. At the time of the announcement Paramount had been working to finalize a deal to sell Paramount to Skydance Media, which needed approval from the Trump administration to go through. The merger has since closed.
Raitt will kick off the next leg of her current tour on Aug. 20 in Port Chester, New York. A complete list of dates can be found at BonnieRaitt.com.
Bailey Zimmerman’s ‘Different Night Same Rodeo’ (Atlantic Records/Warner Music Nashville)
The long-awaited sophomore album from Bailey Zimmerman has finally arrived.
“2 years of work, 18 songs, and a few dang good friends,” he shared on his socials, along with a photo of him sporting a tank top with the album title. “The Different Night Same Rodeo Album is out now.”
The record’s title is a nod to something Bailey’s father often said to him growing up, “Same s***, different day.”
The release also comes with a little surprise.
“Did somebody say they wanted a music video w/ [The Kid LAROI]?” Bailey teased. “‘Lost’ Official Music Video… BE THERE OR BE SQUARE.”
Bailey and the Australian rapper shot the video in the Las Vegas desert.
Different Night Same Rodeo features “Backup Plan” with Luke Combs, which is currently nearing the top of the chart, as well as Bailey’s previous hit, “Holy Smokes.”
Meghan Trainor has lent her voice to animated projects in the past, and now she’s taking on another project that both her young sons can watch.
HEY A.J.! is a new series debuting on Disney Jr. and then Disney+ in 2026. It’s described as a “whimsical and music-filled family comedy” about a young girl with a big imagination and her stuffed bunny. It’s based on the Hey A.J.books by ex-NFL star-turned-children’s book author Martellus Bennett.
Meghan will provide the voice of a recurring character: the mother of A.J.’s best friend, Jessie.
She previously voiced characters in the films Smurfs: The Lost Village and Playmobil: The Movie and also guest starred on an episode of Blue’s Clues & You!
Meghan is mom to 4-year-old Riley Trainor and 2-year-old Barry Trainor.
After the heavy topics discussed on Tyler, The Creator‘s Chromakopia album, he set out to create Don’t Tap the Glass with the goal of being “silly again.”
“Chromakopia was so… I’m not saying it’s the most mature, deep s***,” he said in an interview with Apple Music 1’s Zane Lowe. “But whether it’s me talking about my relationship with my hair and how that’s affected me, or me almost being a father last year, or the relationship that I have with my father now, just so many things that I decided to dive deep into. After the weight of that got off, I just wanted to be silly again.”
“I just want to be fun and say outrageous s*** and say s*** that… inside jokes that me and my friends laugh at, and just talk big fly s***,” he continued. “That was the goal. That was the main 100% goal.”
Tyler notes he also created Don’t Tap the Glass with the desire to make danceable music like Usher did with My Way.
“It’s just some s*** that I would love people to dance to because it’s music that I will want to dance my body to,” he said, adding the album includes New Orleans bounce, Atlanta bass, Miami bass and U.K. jungle music.
“I was like, ‘Oh, this is finally the album where I could really just dance for real and just groove and have fun,’” Tyler said elsewhere in the interview. “Yeah, I just wanted to make super urgent, upbeat s***.”
Almost Monday on ‘Jimmy Kimmel Live!’ (Disney/Randy Holmes)
Following the success of “can’t slow down” and “jupiter,” almost monday is out with a new song and video.
Singer Dawson Daugherty says the song, “enjoy the ride,” is about “anxiety and trying to confront the things you fear.” He explains, “It’s a reminder to ourselves to hold on to the beauty in life, even when things feel like they are spinning out of control.”
Unlike “can’t slow down” and “jupiter,” “enjoy the ride” isn’t on the deluxe version of the band’s debut album DIVE. On Instagram, the band shared, “wrote this song a few weeks ago and felt like it wasn’t summer if almost monday wasn’t dropping a song.”
The band will play the Outside Lands festival in San Francisco on Friday and kick off a tour with The Band CAMINO starting in October.

Covering a song you like in concert isn’t unusual, but when that song is 10 minutes long, you’ve set quite a challenge for yourself. Gracie Abrams managed to pull it off, though.
Performing her second show at LA’s KIA Forum, Gracie busted out a cover of Taylor Swift’s “All Too Well (10 Minute Version),” which she performed solo, with just herself and a piano. The fans sang along with every word.
Gracie, of course, heard the song every night as the opening act on her friend Taylor’s Eras Tour in 2023 and 2024. On her current tour, she’s been taking a page from Taylor’s book, doing “surprise songs” as well as unreleased material.
Gracie plays the Outside Lands festival on Saturday and will then wrap up her tour Aug. 27 in Mexico City.
Lauren Alaina‘s addressing the death of her dad in her new song, “Little Things.”
J.J. Suddeth passed away suddenly in July 2024.
“The loss of my father was unexpected and life shattering,” she reflects. “When you have a loss of this magnitude, the little things in life start to matter a lot less.”
The new song came out of a conversation she had with her brother before a writing session.
“He said someone had complained to him about the cost of eggs,” Lauren recalls. “He said he just kept thinking to himself, ‘My dad just died. I don’t really care about the cost of eggs anymore.’ It really struck me.”
“I told him when something that really matters happens, your eyes are opened to what doesn’t,” she continues. “I told him I was going to write that song for us that day. I know our dad would be proud of us both.”
“Little Things” follows Lauren’s recent releases “All My Exes (featuring Chase Matthew),” “Household,” “Those Kind of Women” and “Heaven Sent,” which was inspired by the arrival of her daughter, Beni Doll Arnold, in June.
Bad Wolves’ ‘Die About It’ deluxe edition (Better Noise Music)
Bad Wolves have announced a deluxe edition of their 2023 album Die About It, due out Sept. 19.
Among the nine new tracks is a reworking of “Say It Again,” featuring Lauri Ylönen, frontman of Finnish rockers The Rasmus. Bad Wolves drummer John Boecklin says, “This song has always meant a lot to me—I’ve always loved it — but I never expected it to evolve the way it did with The Rasmus.”
“In my opinion, it’s some of the best lyricism on the album, and I’m really glad it’s finally getting the spotlight it deserves,” he notes. “It’s truly some of our best work.”
Ylönen adds, “This song hit me hard and energized me. It used to be one of my top workout songs before I got to sing on it!”
Among the nine new tracks are orchestral and live versions of “Legends Never Die” and a live version of “Bad Friend.”
“It’s fun for us to be able to continue celebrating the Die About It album in this way,” says Boecklin. “It gives us a chance to revisit our material with a different perspective and refresh the release that we’re still in love with.”
“There are songs that were written during the album sessions that you never got to hear and some fun reinterpretations of tracks that you’ve already heard,” he adds. “Lots to dig in on here, see you soon Wolfpack!”
Here’s the track listing:
“Intro” “Bad Friend” “Die About It” “Savior” “Hungry for Life” “Legends Never Die” “NDA” “Move On” “Masquerade” “Say It Again” “It’s You (2 Months)” (feat. KILLBOY) “Turn It Down” “Set You on Fire” “Hungry for Life” (feat. Daughtry)
