Don’t let the laughs go by when listening to Bush.
On the song “I Beat Loneliness,” the title track off the “Glycerine” band’s 2025 album, frontman Gavin Rossdale sings, “I beat the internet,” which is arguably a greater accomplishment than beating loneliness. As Rossdale tells ABC Audio, that line is an example of his sense of humor.
“Thing is, is I have a laugh, and I think I’m quite funny,” Rossdale says. “I’m surprisingly funny. I’m English and very dry.”
However, Rossdale finds that humor isn’t exactly easy to translate through music.
“That’s really hard to get across in music, it’s really difficult, it has been almost impossible for me,” Rossdale says. “So when I make bold statements, like ‘I beat the internet/ I’m a silhouette,’ it just fills me with glee as a writer that I finally did something vaguely whimsical.”
You’ll also hear Rossdale sing, “Got married in Vegas,” on “I Beat Loneliness,” which he says is a fictional detail added to the track.
“It’s the single line that’s not autobiographical,” Rossdale says. “The rest of it is me whining about myself.”
Bush will launch a U.S. tour in support of I Beat Loneliness Tuesday in Pittsburgh.
Bruno Mars is kicking off his The Romantic Tour April 10 at Allegiant Stadium in Las Vegas, but before he takes the stage, the entire city will be celebrating.
A free “Bruno Mars Day Parade” will step off at 1 p.m. that day at the Bellagio Fountains and end at Toshiba Plaza, which will be open to fans starting at 11 a.m. Bruno himself will be part of the event, which will be viewable from the sidewalks in front of the Bellagio, Cosmopolitan and Park MGM resorts. Park MGM is where Bruno’s had a residency for years.
After the parade reaches Toshiba Plaza, located in front of the T-Mobile Arena, the city’s Park Avenue will then be renamed Bruno Mars Drive, The Las Vegas Review-Journal reports. The publication notes that MGM Resorts ran the idea past Bruno in October as part of his birthday celebration, and “he was thrilled,” an executive says.
According to the paper, the parade will feature marching bands, double-decker buses, live music, vintage cars and women firing off t-shirt cannons. “Because it is Mars, we can’t rule out a performance should the mood strike him,” notes the Review Journal.
And because it’s Bruno Mars Day, the publication says the event will also feature a ceremonial state flag from Nevada governor Joe Lombardo, and a proclamation from Clark County Commissioner Jim Gibson.
Bruno and his band have drawn some 800,000 fans to Park MGM over the years; he also opened up a nightclub, The Pinky Ring, at Bellagio, another MGM Resorts property. Will he resume his residency after his tour? An MGM Resorts exec told the Review-Journal, “I mean, absolutely, yeah, I would love it. I can’t speak for Bruno, but we have an incredible partnership with this man.”

Lady Gaga was supposed to perform in Montreal, Quebec, on Monday night, but she’s canceled just hours before the show.
On her Instagram Story, Gaga writes, “I’ve been fighting a respiratory infection for the past few days and doing everything I can to rest and recover But it’s gotten worse. My doctor has strongly advised me not to perform today and to be honest I don’t think I could give you the quality of a performance today that you deserve.”
“I know how deeply disappointing this is and I truly could not feel worst about letting you down,” she continues, adding that she’s “absolutely heartbroken and so sorry.” She notes that her previous shows in Montreal on Thursday and Friday were “magical and deeply meaningful.”

Rush’s Geddy Lee and Alex Lifeson plan to pay tribute to their late drummer, Neil Peart, during their upcoming Fifty Something tour, and in an interview with the Brazilian TV show Fantástico, they share some insight into how they plan to do that.
“Well, we’ve been talking about certain songs that we feel really, really give us the vision of Neil,” Lee says, noting, “twice a night we will pick a song to play sort of for him and we’ll present a visual tribute behind us, to Neil, whether it be to his lyrics or just to his playing or whatever.”
He adds they’ll “take a moment, you know, play these songs with him in mind, so the whole audience and us can remember him.”
Lifeson calls the tribute “a celebration of who he was as a person and a drummer, not so sad anymore.”
Drummer Anika Nilles will be sitting in at the drum kit in place of Peart, who died in 2020, and Lee and Lifeson say they considered whether or not to call themselves Rush on this tour without Peart.
“Of course there was a lot of discussion,” says Lee. “(At) one point we were coming up with all these ways of not calling it Rush. And then it seemed ridiculous because when you’re learning 40 Rush songs, what the hell are you supposed to call this thing you’re doing?” He jokes, “Yeah, let’s say we’ll go out, we’ll play 40 Rush songs, we’ll call it Iron Butterfly.”
He adds using the name Rush “was just the natural thing to do.”
Rush is set to kick off their Fifty Something tour on June 7 in Los Angeles with North American dates running through Dec. 17. The tour will also hit Europe and South America.

(WASHINGTON) — President Donald Trump on Monday shared new details about the harrowing lengths a U.S. aviator shot down in Iran went through to keep himself alive and the scope of the mission to rescue him.
“Despite the peril, the officer followed his training and climbed into the treacherous mountain terrain and started climbing toward a higher altitude, something they were trained to do in order to evade capture,” Trump recounted in a briefing on the operation to the media. “He scaled cliff faces, bleeding rather profusely, treated his own wounds, and contacted American forces to transmit his location.”
Trump said the weapons system officer, who ejected along with the pilot from an F-15 fighter jet, was “injured quite badly” and stranded in an area “teeming” with members of the Iranian Revolutionary Guard Corps, militia and local authorities.
The pilot was rescued in a separate and challenging broad daylight mission on Friday.
But finding the second aviator, who landed miles away, was “comparable to hunting for a single sand of grain of sand in the middle of a desert,” CIA Director John Ratcliffe said.
Trump said the U.S. has taken out Iran’s radar and air defense capabilities but the F-15 was shot down by a shoulder-launched, heat-seeking missile.
“They had probably a little luck because you got to get lucky,” the president said.
Trump said the second rescue mission involved involved “hundreds” of service members and 155 aircraft, including four bombers, 64 fighters, 48 refueling tankers, 13 rescue aircraft and others, as well as efforts to deceive the Iranians about where U.S. forces were searching.
“We had seven different locations where they thought, and theywere very confused,” Trump said of the Iranians.
Secretary of Defense Pete Hegseth described Iran’s military as “embarrassed and humiliated” by the rescue.
Trump said the Central Intelligence Agency was responsible for finding “this little speck” in the mountainous area in which he was hiding.
Ratcliffe, the CIA director, said the U.S. deployed both human assets and “exquisite technologies that no other intelligence service in the world possesses” to locate the weapons system officer on Saturday, who was “concealed in a mountain crevice, still invisible to the enemy, but not to the CIA.”
Ratcliffe said some of the unique capabilities the CIA used are ones that only the president can deploy and that he would not publicly divulge what they were.
“As an agency, the CIA possesses unique capabilities that only the president can deploy. Some of these capabilities fall under covert action authorities. And because covert means exactly that, I’m not going to be able to tell you everything that you want to know,” Ratcliffe said.
Ratcliffe said finding the downed aviator was “comparable to hunting for a single sand of grain of sand in the middle of a desert.”
“This was also a race against the clock, as it was critical that we locate the downed aviator as quickly as possible, while at the same time keeping our enemies misdirected,” he added.
Hegseth said once the airman turned on his transponder, his first message was “God is Good.”
“In that moment of isolation and danger, his faith and fighting spirit shown through,” Hegseth said.
Trump said once it was determined that the two airplanes used to ferry in troops and equipment could not take off from the soft, wet sand in the makeshift landing area, “we blew them up to smithereens” so that the technology they carried couldn’t be captured by the Iranians.
“And we had a contingency plan, which was unbelievable, where lighter, faster aircraft came in and they took them out. We blew up the old planes. We blew them up to smithereens, because we had equipment on the planes that, frankly, we’d like to take, but I don’t think it was worthwhile spending another four hours there taking it off,” he said.
