Paul McCartney fans are used to seeing him headline stadiums around the world, but he’s decided to take things down a notch for his next set of gigs.
The two-time Rock & Roll Hall of Famer has just announced two shows at the 1,200 capacity Fonda Theatre in Los Angeles. Dubbed Paul McCartney Rocks The Fonda!, the shows are happening March 27 and 28. Both shows will be phone-free, with devices secured in Yondr pouches.
Fans must register for a chance to buy tickets, with registration open until Wednesday at 10 p.m. PT. Fans can register for multiple shows, although there is a two-ticket limit per person.
The shows are McCartney’s first concerts since wrapping his North American Got Back 2025 tour in Chicago in November.
This isn’t the first time McCartney has played a small venue in recent years. Back in February 2025, he headlined three nights at New York’s Bowery Ballroom.

Heart’s Ann Wilson will be hitting the road to support her upcoming documentary, In My Voice.
The singer will headline a 10-city screening and Q&A tour with the film’s director Barbara Hall. The tour kicks off May 11 in Seattle and will hit Vancouver, Chicago, Cleveland, Nashville, New York, Toronto and more, before wrapping June 1 in Boston.
“This film is my story in my own words, told the way I’ve always wanted to tell it,” says Wilson. “It’s about finding my voice, keeping it alive, and sharing the journey with the people who’ve been part of it all along.”
“What an honor to tell the story of one of our greatest rock music voices of all time,” adds Hall. “Her voice notwithstanding, her story exceeds a scriptwriter’s imagination, and her courage to share her story is inspiring.”
The film follows the 75-year-old Wilson from her childhood to stardom in Heart and features personal home movies, photographs, journals and never-before-seen footage. It also includes contributions from the singer’s family, bandmates, fellow artists and more.
Information on when In My Voice will hit theaters is expected to be announced soon.

(WASHINGTON) — The Trump administration’s top counterterrorism official Joe Kent announced his resignation Tuesday over opposition to the Iran war, becoming the highest-profile administration official to step down publicly over the conflict.
In a resignation letter posted publicly on social media, Kent said he could not “in good conscience” support the war, which is now in its third week.
“Iran posed no imminent threat to our nation, and it is clear that we started this war due to pressure from Israel and its powerful American lobby,” Kent, who served as the director of the National Counterterrorism Center, wrote in his resignation letter.
The National Counterterrorism Center is housed within the Office of the Director of National Intelligence. ABC News has reached out to ODNI for comment.
ODNI says Kent oversaw the U.S. counterterrorism and counternarcotics enterprise and, according to his biography, he served as the principal counterterrorism adviser to the president.
ABC News has reached out to the White House for comment.
Kent is a combat veteran who served more than 20 years in the U.S. Army and completed 11 combat deployments in the Middle East.
Kent also invoked a deeply personal loss in explaining his decision to step down: he is a Gold Star husband whose late wife, Navy Senior Chief Petty Officer Shannon Kent, was killed in action during a suicide bombing while serving in Syria in 2019.
In his resignation letter, Kent wrote, “As a veteran who deployed to combat 11 times and as a Gold Star husband who lost my beloved wife Shannon in a war manufactured by Israel, I cannot support sending the next generation off to fight and die in a war that serves no benefit to the American people nor justifies the cost of American lives.”
The Rock & Roll Hall of Famer is set to release the new album Carry the Light on May 15, which will be his first album of all-new material in 16 years.
The album features guest appearances by such artists as Sheryl Crow, Graham Nash, Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers’ keyboardist Benmont Tench, Rage Against The Machine guitarist Tom Morello, H.E.R. and saxophonist Bill Evans.
“The Carry the Light album is the first new music from me in 16 years,” says Frampton. “It was one of my most enjoyable projects ever. I got to work with my son Julian—writing and producing together. A first of many for us I’m sure.”
The first single released from the album is “Buried Treasure” featuring Tench. The song, available now via digital outlets, is a tribute to Petty and features lyrics crafted from Petty song titles.
Carry The Light will be released digitally, on CD and on 180-gram yellow vinyl. It will also be available as a limited-edition numbered vinyl featuring a premium cover. All formats are available for preorder now.
Check out the track list below:
“Carry the Light” “Buried Treasure” (feat. Benmont Tench) “I’m Sorry Elle” (feat. Graham Nash) “Breaking The Mold” (feat. Sheryl Crow) “I Can’t Let It Be” “Lions At The Gate” (feat. Tom Morello) “Islamorada” (feat. H.E.R.) “Can You Take Me There” (feat. Bill Evans) “Tinderbox” (feat. Bill Evans) “At The End of The Day”

Trent Reznor has clarified his comments regarding Nine Inch Nails’ future touring plans.
As previously reported, Reznor told the crowd at a show in February in Tulsa, Oklahoma, “I don’t know if we’re gonna be touring anymore after this.”
At NIN’s concert in Sacramento, California, on Monday, Reznor explained that his initial comments were referring specifically to the band’s Peel It Back tour and not Nine Inch Nails altogether.
“What I said was, this is the last show of this tour,” Reznor said, as seen in fan-shot video. “We don’t have any shows booked, and we don’t have any plans to book any shows any time in the future so far.”
“That doesn’t mean we may not tour again, we may tour again,” he continued. “I never said we were intentionally stopping, and I never meant that.”
Reznor also said that new Nine Inch Nails music is in the works.
The Sacramento show marked the last concert on the Peel It Back tour. Their only other scheduled upcoming show is a set at Coachella in April alongside collaborator Boys Noize.
Lance Bass, ‘The Legend of Mrs. Claus’ (Union Square Kids)
Lance Bass published his debut children’s book, Trick or Treat on Scary Street, in 2024. He’s set to follow that with a second holiday-themed book, due out in September.
The Legend of Mrs. Claws is about a black cat who first appeared in Trick or Treat on Scary Street. On Instagram, Lance writes that the cat was “trying VERY hard to be scary… but mostly just causing chaos.”
“My kids immediately fell in love with her, and I started wondering what happens to a Halloween misfit once October is over,” he continues. “Well apparently… she sneaks onto Santa’s sleigh. Can’t wait for y’all to dive back into this world with me and meet this mischievous little stowaway.”
As Lance writes, “What if Mrs. Claws… was actually Santa’s cat?”
In an interview with People, Lance talks about the appeal of the character. “She’s a character who doesn’t quite fit the mold, and I think a lot of us can relate to that,” he notes. “It’s a reminder that sometimes the things that make us a little different — or the moments we think we got wrong — can end up leading us exactly where we belong.”

(NEW YORK) — Bank of America has reached a proposed, non-binding settlement in a lawsuit that alleged the bank helped facilitate Jeffrey Epstein’s trafficking operation, according to court records.
The proposed class-action complaint, filed in October 2025, alleged that Bank of America “knowingly provided the financial support and the veneer of institutional legitimacy” to Epstein and ignored suspicious transactions by the late disgraced financier.
A notice on the case’s docket said that lawyers for the bank and the victims “reached a settlement in principle.” The terms of the settlement were not immediately disclosed and would need to be approved by a federal judge. U.S. District Judge Jed Rakoff had previously scheduled the case to go to trial on May 11.
A court hearing to consider the settlement proposal is scheduled for April 2 in federal court in New York, according to the docket.
Bank of America declined to comment on the proposed settlement to ABC News. An attorney for the victims called the proposed settlement “one more step on the road to much-deserved justice.”
“The women entrapped and abused by Jeffrey Epstein and Ghislaine Maxwell started a monumental reckoning with their brave voices and fearlessness. The road to justice for these women has been long and trying,” attorney Sigrid McCawley said in a statement.
Though the terms of the settlement are unknown, a proposed resolution of the case would likely scuttle an upcoming deposition of Apollo Global Management co-founder Leon Black, who was scheduled to sit for questioning on March 26. Black resigned from his role at Apollo in 2021 after an inquiry into his relationship with Epstein, which found that Black paid Epstein $158 million for tax and estate planning advice.
In a statement from January, Black’s attorney said that his client “had no awareness of Epstein’s criminal activities” and that there is “absolutely no truth to any of the allegations against Mr. Black.”
The lawsuit against Bank of America alleged that those payments from Black and other transactions by Epstein should have raised concern by the bank, which “failed to alert law enforcement as to Epstein’s crimes before it was far too late.”
“Epstein committed these crimes by means of not only his own extraordinary wealth and power, but through access to funding and financial support from both individuals and institutions, including Bank of America. Egregiously, Bank of America had a plethora of information regarding Epstein’s sex trafficking operation but chose profit over protecting the victims,” the lawsuit alleged.
Bank of America had unsuccessfully attempted to persuade the court to dismiss the case by arguing that the suit was “based on nothing more than allegations that it provided routine services to customers who at the time had no known connection to Epstein’s sex trafficking.”
“Bank of America opposes trafficking in all its forms. But this suit attempts to radically expand liability for banks, holding them liable for providing ordinary banking services to individuals one or more steps removed from a trafficker,” a November 2025 filing from the bank’s lawyers said.
