Tucker Wetmore‘s covering TheGeorgia Satellites‘ signature song as part of Amazon Music’s celebration of Country Music Month.
“I’ve been playing ‘Keep Your Hands to Yourself’ at all my shows for a while now, and every time I do it, the whole place just goes crazy,” Tucker says. “It’s one of those songs everybody knows and wants to sing, so I figured it was time to put my own spin on it!”
“Keep Your Hands to Yourself” became a #2 pop hit in February 1987, kept from the #1 spot by Bon Jovi‘s “Livin’ on a Prayer.”
Tucker’s latest hit, “3, 2, 1,” is currently in country’s top 15, following his breakthrough, “Wind Up Missin’ You.” Both are from his debut album, What Not To.

Neil Diamond was honored with the Inspirational Lifetime Achievement Award at Saturday’s 39th annual Carousel Ball, which took place in Denver.
The event celebrates the work of the Barbara Davis Center for Diabetes and raised over $2 million for the Children’s Diabetes Fund. The award honored Diamond for his “incredible service and dedication to the BDC and the role he has played in advancing type 1 diabetes care and clinical research.”
“I’ve been through it all now, and I’m still coming back for more,” said Diamond. “I’m proud to be a champion for this cause and grateful to be part of a night that brings hope to so many. Thank you, thank you and thank you.”
Actor Hugh Jackman, who stars alongside Kate Hudson in the new movie Song SungBlue, about a couple in a Neil Diamond tribute band, offered up video congratulations to Diamond.
“I’m thrilled you’re getting this award, because you are inspirational — not just through your music and creativity, but through your heart and your generosity,” Jackman said.
He added, “As a performer myself, you inspire me every single day. The way you connect with audiences, the way you connect to your music, the authenticity of who you are, it’s everything to me.”
The night included a Diamond performance. The singer, who in 2018 retired from touring after being diagnosed with Parkinson’s disease, was joined by Nick Fradini, who played him in The Neil Diamond Musical: A Beautiful Noise, for a performance of Diamond’s 1969 hit “Sweet Caroline.”

Kelly Hansen played his final show with Foreigner Saturday in Atlantic City, New Jersey.
Fan-shot footage posted to YouTube shows a tearful Hansen thanking the band’s crew, his manager, his friends and, of course, the fans.
“If I could even string together the number of times that I’ve had experiences with fans — or, I don’t like to call you guys fans, I like to call you guys people who love music, appreciate music, you know,” he said. “My whole life since I was 17, it’s been great people who come to shows, thank you for that.”
“Thank you all for all of your support,” he added. “I’ve been in this business I think about 48, 49 years. I’ve put in my time. I spent 20 years with this fantastic band singing a catalog of songs that a singer couldn’t dream of. And thank you.”
The band then began their encore, with Kelly telling the crowd, “Now we have one last job to do. You guys need to be members of the band,” before launching into their #1 hit “I Want To Know What Love Is.”
Hansen joined Foreigner in 2005, following Lou Gramm’s departure in 2003. Foreigner guitarist Luis Maldonado will be taking over frontman duties when they launch a Canadian tour Oct. 21 in St. John’s, Newfoundland. A complete list of Foreigner dates can be found at Foreigneronline.com.

(SHARM EL-SHEIKH, Egypt) — President Donald Trump joined more than 20 world leaders in Sharm El-Sheikh, Egypt, on Monday for talks on Gaza’s future with the first phase of the Israel-Hamas ceasefire agreement underway.
Among those gathered for the summit were Palestinian Authority President Mahmoud Abbas, French President Emmanuel Macron, German Chancellor Friedrich Merz, British Prime Minister Keir Starmer and former prime minister Tony Blair, as well as officials from Qatar, Egypt, Jordan, the United Arab Emirates and Turkey.
The group posed for a family picture in front a sign that read “Peace 2025” before a signing ceremony on the agreement.
Trump is also set to deliver formal remarks in which he will tout the breakthrough as a turning point for the region.
“This is the day that people across this region and around the world have been working, striving, hoping, and praying for. With the historic agreement we have just signed, those prayers of millions have finally been answered. Together, we have achieved the impossible,” Trump will say, according to excerpts of his speech released by the White House.
“All the momentum now is toward a great, glorious, and lasting peace,” he is expected to say.
Noticeably absent from talks in Egypt, though, were representatives for Israel and Hamas. Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s office cited the Jewish holiday as the reason for his absence, despite him having been directly invited by President Trump.
Earlier Monday, Trump addressed Israel’s parliament, where he hailed a “new dawn in the Middle East” and declared the war in Gaza to be over despite challenges ahead in ensuring a lasting peace.
Hamas released the remaining 20 living Israeli hostages on Monday and Israel freed Palestinian prisoners as part of the ceasefire agreement, with emotional scenes playing out in Tel Aviv and Gaza as families reunited.
But many questions remain about what comes next, including to what extent President Trump will be personally involved in shaping a post-war Gaza.
Trump said the second phase of his proposed peace plan is in progress, though didn’t provide much detail.
“Well, it started. I mean, it started as far as we’re concerned,” Trump said as he sat with Egyptian President Abdel Fattah el-Sissi. “Phase two has started. And, you know, the phases are all a little bit mixed in with each other. You’re gonna start cleaning up. You look at Gaza it needs a lot of clean-up.”
The U.S. president also appeared to set his sights next on Iran, urging the country to use this opportunity to work with the administration on a nuclear deal.
“We are ready when you are and it will be the best decision that Iran has ever made, and it’s going to happen,” Trump said during his speech at the Knesset.
Trump reiterated that point as he took reporter questions alongside Egypt’s president.
“I think Iran will come along. They’ve been battered and bruised. You know, they need some help. They have big sanctions, as you know, tremendous sanctions. I’d love to take the sanctions off when they’re ready to talk,” Trump said.

(WASHINGTON) — As the government shutdown continues and the impacts become more widespread, the Senate will not vote again on the clean funding bill until Tuesday night.
It is expected to fail for an eighth time.
Meanwhile, over the weekend, President Donald Trump announced that he ordered the Pentagon to use “all available funds” to pay some 2 million service members on Oct. 15 to avoid missing a paycheck as the shutdown drags on.
“The Department of War has identified approximately $8 billion of unobligated research development testing and evaluation funds (RDTE) from the prior fiscal year that will be used to issue mid month paychecks to service members in the event the funding lapse continues past October 15th. We will provide more information as it becomes available,” the Department of War said in a statement on Sunday.
It remains unclear what would happen to future paychecks if the government shutdown were to continue for an extended period of time.
Vice President JD Vance said on Fox News that “a lot” of that pay would come from income tax revenue, with some additional revenue from tariffs.
“Some of it will come from tightening the belts in other areas but, Maria, this is exactly right. A lot of this will come from incoming revenues to the Internal Revenue Service,” Vance said on Sunday. “Tariff revenue, but also income tax revenue that is going to make it possible for us to pay our troops.”
Trump’s tariffs are being challenged in court.
The Supreme Court will decide whether Trump’s sweeping global reciprocal tariffs are an illegal use of emergency authority granted by Congress – and whether tens of billions of dollars collected so far must be refunded.
Vance touted Trump’s maneuvers to pay the military, saying the White House is confident in the legality of their actions.
“We’re doing some pretty non-conventional things, as President Trump often does, to ensure that our troops are able to get paid. We are confident we’ve identified the legal pathways in order to do this, but it’s really important for the president of the United States even though (Senate Minority Leader Chuck) Schumer has shut down the government, he doesn’t want our troops to suffer because of it, of course,” Vance said.
Last week, the White House followed through on its threat to lay off federal employees. Vance warned that “deeper” and “painful” cuts would happen the longer the shutdown goes.
Mass firings have hit the Department of Education, the Department of Health and Human Services and the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention hard.
The nation’s special education services have been significantly impacted after Friday’s mass layoffs within the Department of Education and it could have an immediate impact on children with disabilities, education department sources told ABC News.
“Do people realize that this is happening to this population of vulnerable students?” one education department leader told ABC News.
Vance said on Sunday that the job cuts are legal.
“Of course, we always follow the law, and we always follow court cases, and we think that we have the authority to do what we need to do. I’m sure that some people will sue, and that will get figured out in court,” Vance told Fox News.
Trump said at Thursday’s Cabinet meeting that he’s going to be cutting “only” Democratic programs as a result of the shutdown.
“And we’ll be making cuts that will be permanent, and we’re only going to cut Democrat programs. I hate to tell you, I guess that makes sense, but we’re only cutting Democrat programs, but we’re going to start that,” Trump said
Office of Management and Budget Russ Vought announced $8 billion in green energy projects had been canceled. The projects were in 16 states that voted for Democrats in the last election.
The impacts of the shutdown are also hitting popular attractions in Washington, D.C. Smithsonian museums and the National Zoo were closed temporarily starting on Sunday.
ABC News’ Jay O’Brien spoke to one employee who may have to find another job and get by for now on the minimal savings he has.
“I need to support my family. I need to do anything to bring the money in the house…to pay the bills. You know, because bills, they can’t wait. Rent can’t wait. The mortgage can’t wait,” the worker told ABC News.

Now that September’s ended and Billie Joe Armstrong is wide awake, the Green Day frontman made a surprise appearance at Dua Lipa‘s concert in San Francisco on Sunday.
During her ongoing tour, the pop star has been inviting up or covering artists related to the city she’s playing. In introducing Armstrong, who famously is from the Bay Area, Lipa told the crowd, “Immediately when I thought about San Francisco, and I thought about all the incredible music that has come out of here, I thought about one band in particular that would be perfect.”
“I love this band for so many different reasons,” Lipa continued. “I love it because of the rawness, the authenticity, the message behind it, the space that it holds for people who feel sometimes they might not belong. I loved listening to this album in particular when I was little, I would put the CD in the Walkman and just kind of sing my heart out.”
Armstrong then took the stage and joined Lipa for a rendition of the American Idiot single “Wake Me Up When September Ends.”
Green Day, meanwhile, recently wrapped their world tour supporting the band’s latest album, 2024’s Saviors. Their next release is a 25th anniversary reissue of their 2000 album, Warning, due out Nov. 14.

All Time Low cut their concert short Sunday at the Red Rocks Amphitheatre in Morrison, Colorado, due to vocal issues affecting frontman Alex Gaskarth.
Gaskarth explains in a Facebook post that he woke up Sunday morning feeling under the weather and “did everything I could to nurse it” ahead of the show.
“But one song into the set I knew that something was different, and that singing felt wrong in a way that I just couldn’t risk pushing through and potentially causing irreversible damage,” Gaskarth writes. “In our 20+ years of touring, I have never dealt with a voice-loss issue quite as debilitating on stage as this.”
Gaskarth plans to visit a specialist Monday and will share an update when he knows more.
“I also want to say such a massive thank you to all of you out there in the audience for being so understanding and kind to me in a moment of vulnerability and powerlessness,” Gaskarth writes. “I’m disappointed and feeling sad like you wouldn’t believe, buy your voices in that place felt like a warm hug when I really need it.”
All Time Low has been on tour in support of their upcoming album, Everyone’s Talking!, due out Friday. The outing is currently scheduled to continue Tuesday in Seattle.
