(MOSCOW, Idaho) — Four University of Idaho students who were found dead on Sunday were believed to be the victims of homicide, school officials said.
The students, who have not been identified, lived in Moscow, Idaho, near the university campus, officials said.
“The Moscow Police Department is investigating and the families of these students have been notified,” university officials said in a message posted to Twitter.
Police said they responded to King Road for a report of an unconscious person. When officers arrived, they “discovered four individuals who were deceased,” according to a press statement.
The university said it canceled all Monday classes.

(SIMI VALLEY, Calif.) — Rachel Castillo, a mother of two who disappeared last week under suspicious circumstances from her home in Simi Valley, California, has been found dead, authorities said.
Castillo’s remains were found in a remote location in Antelope Valley, the Simi Valley Police Department said Sunday.
Police have named Castillo’s ex-husband, 25-year-old Zarbab Ali of Hawthorne, as the primary suspect. He was arrested Sunday afternoon at this parent’s house in Victorville in connection with the homicide, Simi Valley police said.
“This investigation has rapidly evolved over the past few days,” police said. “This case is still under investigation and some details cannot be released due to legal and investigative reasons. The Simi Valley Police Department will release additional details related to this case when it is available.”
local police said earlier Sunday that there was “a significant amount of blood” left at the scene following Castillo’s disappearance.
“Upon further investigation, a significant amount of blood was located in her home. Rachel’s whereabouts are unknown. Given the circumstances, it is believed Rachel is at risk,” the Simi Valley Police Department had said in an earlier statement.
Castillo, 25, has two children and lives with her sister just miles away from their parents, her family told ABC affiliate KABC.
She had dropped off her children to their father Thursday morning, before she disappeared, her family told KABC.
“As soon as I saw the blood, that’s when I realized something wasn’t right,” Emily Castillo, her sister, told the local station. She had returned home Thursday night. “So I called my mom to let her know to come over and then I immediately called 911.”
Many of her belongings — including her phone, keys and car — were still at the home, her family said.
Anyone with information can contact the Simi Valley Police Department at 805-583-6950.

Joe Jonas stars in the upcoming Korean War drama Devotionand credits his wife, Sophie Turner,for helping him prepare for such a serious acting role.
Joe told Mr Porterpreparing for Devotion wasn’t easy because it was a completely different animal than his prior acting gigs. He starred on the Disney Channel show Jonas and the Camp Rock movies.
“The style is obviously different,” he began. “Disney is slapstick and loud — the more Blippi you can be the better. I had to unlearn that. Everything is 10 steps back, even every facial reaction.”
He turned to his wife — “the best acting coach ever” — to help him prepare for the role.
Joe said Sophie would run lines with him while Devotion was in production.
The Jonas Brothers memberalso revealed he took inspiration from Oscar-winning actor Matthew McConaughey. “He’s a dragon slayer,” Joe said. “[McConaughey would] share stories about the extremes he would go to to feel what his characters feel, standing barefoot on the ledge of a 20-story building, his feet bleeding. I knew I wasn’t going to be able to go to his level, but for me, it meant I had to step up.”
Elsewhere in the interview, Joe revealed the meaning behind his collab “Not Alone” with Khalid, which he composed for the movie. “I wanted it to be a male duet, partially because this movie tells the story of these two guys that have this deeply emotional bond … I wanted to match that in some version,” he said.
Joe stars as aviator Marty “Skip” Goode in the film, which flies into theaters on November 23.
Drake and 21 Savage‘s album Her Loss has earned the top slot on the Billboard 200 chart dated November 19.
The accomplishment marks the collaboration album as the year’s largest week for R&B/hip-hop, according to Billboard. It’s also the fourth-biggest streaming week of any album ever.
Her Loss earned the number one spot thanks for earning 404,000 equivalent album units for the week ending November 10,with streaming playing a major part, according to Luminate, the company that provides sales data to Billboard.
The 16-track project is Drake’s 12th number one album. The “God’s Plan” rapper now holds the title of the artist with the third-most number one albums, trailing behind The Beatles with 19 and Jay-Z with 14.
After originally announcing an October 28 release, Her Loss was postponed to andfinally arrived on November 4.
BryanAdams recently released Classic and Classic Part 2, featuring rerecordings of his biggest hits, like “Cuts Like a Knife” and “Everything I Do (I Do It For You).” He did it for the same reason as Taylor Swift — to gain control over his older songs — and says he wouldn’t have done it if it weren’t for her.
“I’m ever so grateful to Taylor for creating the impetus to make it happen,” he tells ABC Audio. “Because I thought, ‘Well, now, if she can do it, I should do it, too.’ And so I got started on a couple of tracks and they turned out really good. And so I just kept going.”
“It’s very much about Taylor’s empowerment of artists and her sort of championing the artist,” he adds. “And I love that she’s done that … I think a lot of artists should do the same.”
Bryan remembered how he recorded most his songs years ago, so he was able to duplicate them fairly easily. But he had a hard time remembering what guitar he used for “Summer of ’69.” He finally realized that back in 1985, he only had one guitar. He dug it out, along with his old guitar pedal.
“I plugged it in, and as if by magic, it was the sound,” he says.
The Classic albums are just two of four albums he’s put out so far this year: rounding out the list is So Happy It Hurts and an album of songs he wrote for Broadway musical Pretty Woman.
“It’s unreal. Four albums: I never thought I’d do that in a year,” he laughs. “But yeah, there is more music. I just put out a Christmas song and I’m in the middle of making another album, so it’s been an incredibly creative time.”
When Eddie Vedder, Ozzy Osbourne and Iggy Pop decided to work with Andrew Watt, they not only recruited one of today’s most in-demand producers, but they also got an all-star backing band.
Vedder’s solo album Earthling featured Red Hot Chili Peppers drummer Chad Smith and ex-RHCP guitarist Josh Klinghoffer, while the Prince of Darkness’ last two albums, 2020’s Ordinary Man and this year’s Patient Number 9, were backed by artists including Smith and Guns N’ Roses bassist Duff McKagan. Smith, McKagan and Klinghoffer also joined Watt for the Godfather of Punk’s upcoming album.
Speaking with ABC Audio, Watt likens his collaborators to another famed session band.
“Chad, Duff, Josh, it’s kind of like our LA Wrecking Crew,” Watt says.
Watt marvels at how Smith, McKagan and Klinghoffer are all “such music historians” that “know so much about so many different types of music.”
“Their playing is a result of their love for so many different types of music,” Watt explains. “They’re all amazing songwriters. It’s not about shining through the record, it’s all song-served playing, parts-based played.”
For Watt, jamming with Smith, McKagan and Klinghoffer is just as exciting as working with the artist he’s producing.
“F***, man, forget about the artist we’re playing for, I get to play with Chad and Duff and Josh,” he says. “Some kind of dream!”
Bruce Springsteen and The E Street Band will soon kick off their first tour in six years, and it’s no wonder fans are clamoring for tickets: Springsteen says he tries to play each show like it’s the first time he’s ever performed.
Appearing on the Questlove Supreme podcast, Bruce explains, “My band have been together for 50 years. So we’ve got a lot of history and we’ve got a lot of experience. And on the last tour, we played 200 songs … 200 different songs.” He adds, “Usually, once the tour gets rolling, the show is regularly different on a night-to-night basis.”
Springsteen says he maps out what songs he wants to play before every concert and then tells the band to “refresh” themselves on his choices, “because we might play it tonight.”
Then the rehearsals start. “We don’t just play 3 1/2 hours a night. We’re there [at the venue] in the afternoon,” he explains, noting that sound checks can sometimes last for two hours to give the band enough time to ensure any deep cuts he’s chosen sound just as good as his set list staples.
“It’s just fun,” he exclaims. “Surprising that audience here and there, it’s fun to do. It’s wonderful.”
As he puts it, “It remains an honor to play for our audience. And that’s the way that I approach it. And that’s what I insist from the band on a nightly basis. You come out, your name is on the line every single night — I don’t care how long you’ve been doing it. You have an opportunity to impact somebody’s life tonight.”
The Boss ended the interview with a mic-drop moment, declaring, “Every night is somebody’s first night. I want to play like it’s my first night.”
Dave Chapelle devoted a portion of his Saturday Night Live opening monologue to addressing Kanye “Ye” West‘s antisemitic comments and found himself in hot water with the Anti-Defamation League.
Chappelle began by stating, “I denounce antisemitism in all its forms. And I stand with my friends in the Jewish community,” before adding, “And that, Kanye, is how you buy yourself some time.”
Chappelle also discussed the controversy around Kyrie Irving, who recently was suspended from the Brooklyn Nets for at least five games after he shared a link to the documentary Hebrews to Negroes: Wake Up Black America — a film that is believed to contain antisemitic sentiments.
“He was slow to apologize,” said Chappelle, before stating, “The demands to get back in their good graces got longer and longer, and this is where I draw the line: I know the Jewish people have been through terrible things all over the world, but you can’t blame that on Black Americans. You just can’t.”
Chappelle went on to suggest that the “delusion that Jews run show business” is “not a crazy thing to think,” but “it’s a crazy thing to say out loud.”
Jonathan Greenblatt, the head of the Jewish civil rights organization, took to Twitter shortly after the show to accuse Chappelle of normalizing and popularizing antisemitism.
“Why are Jewish sensitivities denied or diminished at almost every turn? Why does our trauma trigger applause?” Greenblatt wrote.
Influencer Rabbi Josh Yutertweeted, “the key point” of the monologue was that “there are double standards regarding who can say what about whom.”
The Jerusalem Postcharacterized the monologue as “engaging in antisemitic tropes,” while Adam Feldman of Time Out New Yorksaid the monologue “probably did more to normalize [antisemitism] than anything Kanye said.”
Dolly Parton is known for her charm, twang and award-winning songwriting but, behind the big hair and cowgirl boots, is also one of the most distinguished philanthropists – who now has an extra $100 million from Amazon founder Jeff Bezos to put to “great use.”
The legendary singer, who was inducted into the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame last week, accepted The Bezos Award for Courage and Civility Saturday, which included a reward of $100 million.
“[Dolly Parton] gives with her heart. What she’s done for kids, and literacy, and so many other things, is just incredible,” Bezos said while presenting Parton with the award.
In 1986, Parton founded the Dollywood Foundation, a non-profit organization that began by offering scholarships to local high school students in the singer’s home state of Tennessee. The foundation grew to include Dolly Parton’s Imagination Library, a program that sends a child free books from birth until the age of 5.
Nearly four decades later, the program has since expanded internationally and in 2020 the foundation celebrated its 150 million books gifted, according to its website.
Parton also made a notable contribution to supporting the development of Moderna’s COVID-19 vaccine. Parton donated $1 million to Vanderbilt University Medical Center at the height of the 2020 pandemic to support vaccine research teams.
“When people are in a position to help, you should help. And I know I’ve always said, I try to put my money where my heart is,” Parton said while accepting the award Saturday. “I will do my best to do good things with this money.”
