Foo Fighters‘ show in Rogers, Arkansas, on Wednesday, June 14, featured the live debut of “The Teacher,” according to Setlist.fm.

A cut off the new Foos album But Here We Are, “The Teacher” is seemingly a tribute to frontman Dave Grohl‘s mother, Virginia, who was a teacher.

Fan-shot footage of “The Teacher” performance, which featured vocals by Grohl’s daughter Violet, is streaming now on YouTube. Notably, “The Teacher” was the closing song for the set, taking the place of usual show-ender “Everlong,” which wasn’t played.

But Here We Are was released June 2. It’s the first Foo Fighters album since the death of drummer Taylor Hawkins in March 2022.

The Foos are currently touring in support of But Here We Are with new drummer Josh Freese.

Carlos Santana revealed back in 2000 that he had been sexually abused as a young child, and in a new interview with People he describes how he learned to forgive his abuser. 

Sharing that “acceptance and forgiveness are really spiritual,” he says, “I learned to look at everyone who ever went out of their way to hurt me, demean me or make me feel like less, like they’re 5 or 6 years old, and I’m able to look at them with understanding and compassion.”

The Rock & Roll Hall of Famer first opened up about his abuse in a 2000 interview with Rolling Stone, saying it happened “almost every day” between the ages of 10 and 12. 

The guitar great says of the man who abused him, “instead of sending him to hell forever, I visualized him like a child, and behind him there was a lot of light. So I can send him to the light or send him to hell knowing that if I send him to hell, I’m going to go with him. But if I send him to the light, then I’m going to go with him also.”

He adds, “There’s this saying, ‘Hurt people hurt people.’ It’s my pain. It did happen to me. But if you open your hands, and you let it go, then you don’t feel that anymore.”

Santana’s life is the subject of a new documentary, Carlos, which is premiering at the Tribeca Festival on Saturday, June 17.

As part of its Halloween Horror Nights this year, Universal Studios has announced it’s bringing the scares of HBO’s smash video game adaptation The Last of Us to its visitors in a new themed haunted house experience.

In a very spooky trailer, a young woman is playing the hit game online with her friends when a real outbreak interrupts her connection, and the game’s — and series’ — undead “Clickers” begin stalking into her home.

Producers of the attraction tease, “You and your squad must stay silent if you want to survive Clickers and more as the gritty world of Naughty Dog’s video game comes to life.”

The promo video ends with some visitors screaming their heads off as they walk through a room in a post-apocalyptic home.

The attraction takes place on select nights from September 6 through Halloween night at Universal’s Orlando and California parks.
