Olivia Rodrigo has performed with The Cure’s Robert Smith and Weezer and covered The White Stripes at the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame induction ceremony, but in case you need any further proof of her alt cred, Melissa Auf der Maur can vouch for her.
The Hole bassist tells NME that she took her daughter to see Rodrigo live for a 13th birthday present, and the pop star invited them backstage.
“Olivia Rodrigo said to my daughter: ‘Without your mother, none of this would have happened,'” Auf der Maur says. “That’s when it locked in for me that there are direct correlations.”
Auf der Maur adds that she’s noticed a “’90s influence in both the songwriting and production” in Rodrigo’s music. She also points out that the cover of her SOUR Prom concert film is similar to the album artwork for Hole’s Live Through This, which actually drew a response from Courtney Love back in 2021.
“Having that said to my daughter in front of me was one of the proudest moments of my life,” Auf der Maur says.
Auf der Maur released a new memoir, Even the Good Girls Will Cry: A ’90s Rock Memoir, earlier in March.

Christopher North, keyboardist and founding member of the soft rock group Ambrosia, has passed away at the age of 75. The news was confirmed by the band in a post on Facebook.
“Fans of Ambrosia, we honor the legendary life and career of our dearest family member Christopher North, the ‘Hammond B3 King’ whose sonic architecture defined a generation of progressive and soft rock,” they write. “A founding member since 1970, he was a keyboard wizard who brought an unmatched intensity and emotional depth to every performance.”
“We will always remember ‘Northwind’ for his fiery, ‘intense’ stage presence—a legacy that began when he was first discovered playing in a dimly lit room, his organ topped with a bottle of wine,” they continue. “Even as he faced health challenges in recent years, including a brave and successful battle with throat cancer, his spirit remained tied to the music and the fans he loved.”
“Christopher North’s work did more than just fill airwaves; it created ‘aural landscapes’ that balanced virtuosity with soulful, radio-friendly hooks,” Ambrosia adds. “We celebrate a true craftsman of the classic rock era whose lush piano lines and soaring organ swells will remain timeless.”
They conclude, “He was truly one of a kind, and loved dearly by his fans and bandmates. RIP, Brother Chris, forever and ever in our hearts.”
Ambrosia formed in Los Angeles in 1970 and had a string of top-40 hits between 1975 and 1980, including “How Much I Feel” and “Biggest Part of Me,” which both hit the top five on the Billboard Hot 100, as well as “You’re The Only Woman (You & I)” and “Holdin’ On To Yesterday.”

The Cranberries have announced a new reissue of the band’s 1993 debut album, Everybody Else Is Doing It, So Why Can’t We?, in honor of its 33rd anniversary.
The package, due out May 22, will include a new remaster of the original album as well as an updated stereo mix by producer Stephen Street. It also features various bonus recordings, such as live tracks and a remix of “Linger” by Iain Cook of CHVCRHES.
Everybody Else Is Doing It, So Why Can’t We? spawned the singles “Dreams” and “Linger.” It propelled The Cranberries beyond their home country of Ireland into worldwide fame, earning five-times Platinum certification by the RIAA.
“We come from a small town in Ireland where things like that didn’t happen, so it was fairytale material,” says guitarist Noel Hogan in a statement.
The Cranberries released their final album, In the End, in 2019 following the 2018 death of frontwoman Dolores O’Riordan.

(LONDON) — King Charles and Queen Camilla will make an official state visit to the U.S. this spring, Buckingham Palace announced Tuesday.
The British royals are embarking on the trip to celebrate the 250th anniversary of America’s independence and were invited by President Donald Trump, according to the palace.
In a social media post, Trump said the royal visit will take place April 27-30. It will include a banquet dinner at the White House on Tuesday, April 28, he noted.
After visiting the U.S., Charles will also visit Bermuda, a British overseas territory, making his first visit to the island as monarch.
Queen Elizabeth II made the last state visit to the U.S. in May 2007 to commemorate the 400th anniversary of the Jamestown settlement in Virginia.
Charles and Camilla‘s visit comes during a tense period amid the ongoing U.K. police inquiry into the Jeffrey Epstein files and the Iran war.
It is unclear if Charles will visit with his second son, Prince Harry, who lives in California with his wife Meghan, the Duchess of Sussex and their two children.

(JUPITER ISLAND, Fla.) — Tiger Woods told authorities that he was looking down at his phone and changing the radio station and didn’t realize the truck in front of him had slowed down before his rollover crash in Jupiter Island, Florida, according to the probable cause affidavit.
No one was injured in the Friday afternoon crash, authorities said. The golfer was arrested and charged with driving under the influence with property damage and refusal to submit to a lawful test, according to the Martin County Sheriff’s Office.
Two hydrocodone pills were found in Woods’ pants pocket, the probable cause affidavit said.
Hydrocodone is a prescription medication intended to treat severe, chronic pain and common side effects include dizziness and drowsiness.
A deputy noticed that Woods was “sweating profusely” and his movement was “lethargic and slow,” the document said.
Woods was also “extremely alert and talkative” and had “hiccups during the entire investigation,” the document said.
When a deputy asked Woods to remove his sunglasses, it revealed the golfer’s “bloodshot and glassy” eyes and “extremely dilated” pupils, the probable cause affidavit said.
Woods told authorities he’d had no alcohol that day, the document said. Asked if he’d had any prescription medication, the golfer replied, “I take a few,” and he noted he took that medicine earlier in the morning, the document said.
Woods said he hadn’t consumed any illegal substances, the document said.
A deputy walked Woods through a series of field sobriety tests, and the deputy said, “I believed that Woods normal faculties were impaired, and he was unable to safely operate the motor vehicle,” according to the document.
Woods did tell the deputy he has “a limp and his ankle seizes while walking,” and the golfer noted that “he’s had seven back surgeries and over twenty operations on his leg,” the document said.
The accident unfolded when a truck pulling a small pressure-cleaning trailer was slowing to turn into a driveway, and Woods approached from behind at a high rate of speed, authorities said.
Woods tried to pass the truck but he clipped the back of the trailer, and the impact caused the golfer’s SUV to tip onto the driver’s side and slide along the road before coming to a stop, authorities said. Woods was able to get out of the car through the passenger side, authorities said.
The narrow, two-lane road has a 30 mph speed limit and little room for drivers to move aside, authorities said, noting that the accident could have been far more serious if there was oncoming traffic.
The breathalyzer showed no alcohol in his system, but Woods refused to take a urine test, which is used to detect drugs or medication, authorities said.
In 2021, Woods suffered serious injuries to his leg in a rollover crash in Los Angeles County, California. Authorities said the golfer was speeding when his car hit the center median, crossed into the opposite lane, hit a curb and a tree, and then rolled over several times. He showed no signs of impairment, authorities said.

Taylor Swift, ‘Elizabeth Taylor’ (TAS Rights Management)
Taylor Swift’s new music video stars Taylor — Elizabeth Taylor, that is.
The visual for the song from The Life of a Showgirl is made entirely of clips of the late screen icon, with Taylor Swift herself nowhere to be found. It features archival footage of the actress, interspersed with scenes from her movies, both legendary and lesser known. Among them: Cat on a Hot Tin Roof, Giant, Father of the Bride, Cleopatra, A Place in the Sun, Suddenly, Last Summer and Who’s Afraid of Virginia Woolf?
Many of the scenes are edited to reflect the lyrics. When Taylor sings, “And if your letters ever said goodbye,” we see Elizabeth reading a letter. When she sings, “I’d cry my eyes violet,” we see Elizabeth crying, screaming or looking distressed, or close-ups of her famous violet eyes. When she sings, “All my white diamonds and lovers are forever,” we see Elizabeth wearing a massive diamond ring.
The end of the video, which is currently only available on Spotify and Apple Music, features a list of all the movies, as well as special thanks to “House of Taylor & the Elizabeth Taylor Trust,” as well as the families of two of Elizabeth’s husbands, Mike Todd and Michael Wilding.
“Elizabeth Taylor” is the third single from Taylor’s album, following “Opalite” and “The Fate of Ophelia.”
