Criminal charges have been dropped against Bailey Zimmerman after an incident at a concert in New Mexico.

The Bernalillo County District Attorney’s office in Albuquerque confirmed the dropped charges to ABC News on Thursday.

“The criminal matter was dismissed. Full restitution was made,” District Attorney Sam Bregman said in a statement.

An attorney for Zimmerman also confirmed the dropped charges, telling ABC News in a statement late Wednesday, “Charges were dropped after Bailey took immediate responsibility for his mistake. We are grateful to the Pueblo of Sandia and the District Attorney’s Office for this just and swift resolution.”

Court records show the “Fall in Love” singer had faced one count of criminal damage more than $1,000, a felony, and one count of falsely obtaining services related to an incident at a May 27 concert at the Sandia Resort & Casino in Albuquerque.

According to an arrest affidavit filed in Bernalillo County Metropolitan Court, Zimmerman allegedly “stumbled onto the stage” before grabbing a guitar and striking it against the ground.

The arrest affidavit further alleged he threw a microphone off the stage and that, after band members attempted to intervene, “Mr. Zimmerman yelled at them and walked off stage for the third time.”

According to the arrest affidavit, Zimmerman allegedly caused approximately $16,000 in damage to his hotel room and left unpaid charges for alcohol billed to the room.

As previously reported, the “Chevy Silverado” hitmaker addressed the incident on Wednesday, apologizing to the Pueblo of Sandia, Sandia Resort & Casino and fans who purchased tickets to the show.

Bryan Adams celebrating Canada Day with new song about Canada

Looks like Bryan Adams is getting ready to release a very Canada-centric song on Canada Day.

The Canadian rocker revealed on Instagram that he’ll be dropping the tune “The 51st State” on July 1, which marks Canada’s national holiday.

The title appears to be a reference to President Donald Trump’s suggestion that Canada should become part of the United States, but don’t think Adams is suggesting he wants that to happen. In the caption of his announcement, he clearly states it’s something “We’ll never be.”

There’s no word on whether the song is part of a future Bryan Adams album or just a standalone single. He released his last studio album, Roll With The Punches, in August.

Adams is currently on a European tour and plays Herceg Novi, Montenegro, on Friday. His tour returns to the North America on July 24 with a show in St. Louis, Missouri. A complete list of dates can be found at BryanAdams.com.

Beck is no longer riding lonesome on his “Ride Lonesome” single.

The “Loser” artist has shared a new version of the song featuring musician Sierra Ferrell, who previously sang with Mumford & Sons on Saturday Night Live.

“I met Sierra five years ago on a dance floor in Nashville,” Beck writes in an Instagram post. “She taught an LA boy how to two step. Then she got on stage with the house band to sing a few tunes. A local leaned in my ear and said you gotta hear her sing, she’s the real deal. And she was.”

He continues, “Been a long while coming to sing together. I think it might’ve beat the original version of this tune.”

The original “Ride Lonesome” dropped in April, and follows Beck’s string of one-off singles over the last couple years, including “Thinking About You” and the Phoenix collaboration “Odyssey.” His most recent album is 2019’s Hyperspace.

Beck will launch his Ride Lonesome North American tour in September.

Sombr drops new song and video ‘My Body Isn’t Ready’: ‘It can be taken as a metaphor’

Sombr has dropped a new track that holds deep personal meaning for him.

On Instagram, he writes that he hopes the song, called “My Body Isn’t Ready,” “can mean different things to different people.” He explains, “It can be taken as a metaphor. Or it can be taken literally as a description of how I have perceived my own body, for my whole life.”

“I wanted to write about my struggle so that other people who may also be struggling know that they are not alone,” he adds. “You are beautiful, and I love you.” He also shouts out Obsession star Inde Navarrette and Off Campus actor Josh Heuston for “shining” in the music video.

In the song, he sings, “I like you, but my body isn’t ready/ I want you, but the mirror won’t let me/ I try to be the person you’re expecting/ But I’m not ready, I’m not ready.”

In the video, a goth-looking sombr sticks out like a sore thumb after showing up to a day party at a fancy LA mansion filled with fabulous guests. When a magician doing card tricks shows him a card that reads, “You don’t belong here,” a crowd of people — including Josh, who plays a pretentious sculptor — laugh at him. But Inde, another party guest who’s been watching him from afar, seems intrigued by him.

A depressed somber then covers his entire body in papier-mâché until he resembles a sculpture. He gets picked up and loaded into a limo with Inde and a group of other people, but when he’s thrown out of the car, she gets out too and removes the papier-mâché. The two then spend a romantic evening together.

Sombr debuted the song on The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon Thursday night.

The Killers frontman Brandon Flowers has premiered a new song called “Plans,” the first single off his upcoming solo album, Thrasher.

“Plans” previews the country-influenced sound of Thrasher, which Flowers previously teased when he announced the record earlier in the week.

“As I’ve gotten older, I’ve found my way back to my father’s music – ‘Country-Western’ (as he called it) – and discovered that the stories I carry really feel most at home in the skin of this beautiful American tradition,” Flowers said.

Thrasher is due out Aug. 21. It marks Flowers’ third solo album and his first in 11 years.

Flowers will launch a U.S. solo tour in September.

The most recent Killers album is 2021’s Pressure Machine.

‘The Time of My Life’: Watch Benson Boone’s ‘favorite piece of work’ he has ‘ever made’

Benson Boone has teamed up with social media star Alix Earle to create what he calls an “epic” video for his new song, “The Time of My Life.”

In the elaborate clip, Benson and Alix play actors ready to go onstage in a theater, but Benson is distracted by the thought that the woman he loves may not attend. The two then act out a series of fairy-tale like scenarios: They meet on a medieval, Beauty and the Beast-like street, engage in swordplay in a tavern, fight dragons and eventually end up at an altar, ready to marry.

Throughout the performance, the camera repeatedly cuts to an empty chair with a sign that reads “Reserved.” When it comes time for Benson to kiss the bride, he can’t go through with it. Instead, he runs off the stage, out of the theater and through a portal, where he tries to reach the woman he’s been missing, but can’t get to her.

The camera then cuts back to the altar, where Benson realizes Alix is actually the woman for him and plants a big kiss on her.

Benson wrote on Instagram, “I have had The Time Of My Life creating this song and video. Thank you to the incredible @alixearle you are a dream and you made this whole shoot come to life. I hope you guys enjoy this song so much, I’ve probably said this 90 kabillion times but this is my favorite piece of work I have ever made and I’m so proud of it.”

“Love you guys, and I love this life,” he adds. “I’ll never take it for granted”

Alix wrote in the comments, “So grateful to be a part of something so special. still cry every time I hear this song.”

A new trailer is out for Breaking Bear, the adult animated series executive produced by blink-182’s Tom DeLonge.

The show follows a family of anthropomorphic bears who “run a drug empire to raise money to save their forest from frackers and an endless array of psychotic enemies,” according to its description. Or, as DeLonge previously stated when the project was first announced back in 2022, it’s “just a ridiculous show about animals doing drugs.”

The trailer, which is streaming on YouTube, certainly lives up to that promise, alongside the type of humor you might expect from someone whose band just celebrated the 25th anniversary of an album called Take Off Your Pants and Jacket.

Breaking Bear stars the voices of Brendan Fraser, Sarah Michelle Gellar, Annie Murphy, Josh Gad and Elizabeth Hurley, among others. It will premiere July 24 on Tubi.

Blink-182, meanwhile, recently announced a run of European dates, set to kick off in June 2027.
