Justin Timberlake is opening up about a medical diagnosis.

The singer took to Instagram on Thursday to celebrate and reflect on the end of his two-year Forget Tomorrow tour. However, in his reflection, he said he wanted to detail “what’s going on” with him despite being a “pretty private person.”

“Among other things, I’ve been battling some health issues, and was diagnosed with Lyme disease -— which I don’t say so you feel bad for me –– but to shed some light on what I’ve been up against behind the scenes,” Timberlake said.

He continued, “If you’ve experienced this disease or know someone who has — then you’re aware: living with this can be relentlessly debilitating, both mentally and physically. When I first got the diagnosis I was shocked for sure. But, at least I could understand why I would be onstage and in a massive amount of nerve pain or,...

Justin Timberlake has revealed that he’s been diagnosed with Lyme disease, which he says has caused him to experience “a massive amount of nerve pain” and intense “fatigue or sickness” during recent live performances.

The 44-year-old pop singer went public with his health issues in an Instagram post on Thursday, which coincided with the end of his world tour. “As many of you know, I’m a pretty private person. But as I’m reflecting on the tour and festival tour – I want to tell you a little bit about what’s going on with me,” Timberlake wrote.

“Among other things, I’ve been battling some health issues, and was diagnosed with Lyme disease -— which I don’t say so you feel bad for me –– but to shed some light on what I’ve been up against behind the scenes,” he added. “If you’ve experienced this disease...

It’s been 22 years since Jamie Lee Curtis and Lindsay Lohan first swapped bodies in “Freaky Friday,” but they’re ready to do it again with a new generation in Disney’s “Freakier Friday,” out in theaters next month.

At Tuesday night’s world premiere at the El Capitan Theatre in Hollywood, the Oscar-winning actress explained why audiences need feel-good movies like this highly anticipated sequel to the 2003 family classic now more than ever.

“There’s math involved. You couldn’t make this movie if Lindsay didn’t have a teenage daughter, so she had to be old enough,” Curtis told TheWrap. “And there’s a nostalgia about the movie. In a time of turmoil, you cling to something nostalgic and familiar, so it’s like comfort food.”

“I think ‘Freaky Friday’ is sort of cinema comfort food: it’s satisfying, makes you feel good, makes you laugh, makes you cry.

For younger Millennials, 2003’s Freaky Friday remake remains a cornerstone text – a body-swap blast that is extremely… well, 2003, right down to its fashion and music, the perfect swirling sweet-spot of Avril Lavigne and pop-punk and spiky belts and hi-top Converse. It all coalesces in the form of Pink Slip, the fictional band in which Lindsay Lohan’s Anna wields her signature red axe, blasting out their earworm hit ‘Take Me Away’. And so with Freakier Friday on the horizon, it doesn’t just mark the return of Lohan and Jamie Lee Curtis as Anna and Tess – it’s also something of a Pink Slip comeback.

“That punk Anna, she’s still there,” Lohan tells Empire, teasing the band’s return in the sequel. And when it came to getting back into fret-shredding mode, it all came flooding back. “The second I started with my guitar coach again, it was like we never left,...

Bonnaroo Music and Arts Festival is now giving 100 percent refunds after the four-day festival was canceled earlier this month after its first day due to severe weather.

However, the festival was originally only going to issue 75 percent refunds, which caused backlash from attendees. “We want you to know that we’re still listening and actively discussing plans to improve The Farm that we love so much. At this time, we will not be announcing future dates. When plans for the future take shape, you all will be the first to know,” reads a statement from Bonnaroo’s Instagram, posted on Friday. “For now, we are updating the refund to 100 percent, rather than the 75 percent originally offered.”

The festival was held in Manchester, Tennessee, and was set to have performances by Olivia Rodrigo and Hozier Tyler, the Creator, John Summit, Dom Dolla, Vampire Weekend, GloRilla, Tyla, Avril Lavigne, Glass Animals and more.

People’s black-checkered sneakers aren’t even dry yet from this weekend, but emo fan-favorite Vans Warped Tour isn’t waiting for anyone. Festival organizers announced Wednesday that the punk festival will return to Washington, D.C. in 2026 for another two-day concert rager on June 13 and 14.

“Let’s run it back next year?!” the official Vans Warped Tour Instagram posted Wednesday. “Same time, same spot.”

Warped Tour made its big comeback this weekend, taking over Washington, D.C., as part of its three-city run to celebrate its 30th anniversary. The beloved rock festival, which started back in 1995, had gone on hiatus in 2019, but returned with a star-studded lineup and a promise to go bigger, bolder, and more punk rock than ever.

Things kicked off at Rfk Stadium on Saturday, with bands like Mod Sun and Mayday Parade setting the tone with lively performances filled with throwback anthems and new tracks. As the day continued, Sublime and Cartel rocked the stage,...

The Bonnaroo Music & Arts Festival has been canceled due to severe weather concerns.

The festival announced the news in a Friday Instagram post after issuing a series of weather delays and an evacuation notice earlier in the day. Thursday marked the first official day of the event at the Bonnaroo Farm in Manchester, Tennessee, that was set to last through Sunday, with only one of the four headliners, Luke Combs, delivering a performance before the event was canceled.

“Today, the National Weather Service provided us with an updated forecast with significant and steady precipitation that will produce deteriorating camping and egress conditions in the coming days,” Bonnaroo wrote in their post. “We are beyond gutted, but we must make the safest decision and cancel the remainder of Bonnaroo.”

Bonnaroo, too, revealed that they would be issuing refunds to all one-day Friday, Saturday and Sunday admission tickets purchased via Front Gate Tickets,...

Ruston Kelly has announced Pale, Through the Window, his fourth studio album, out on September 12th. He’s also shared the album’s latest single, “Wayside,” and revealed a new stretch of 2025-2026 North American tour dates.

Pale, Through the Window was inspired by personal transformation and Kelly’s quest to heal emotionally, marked by his signature vulnerable songwriting and raw, anthemic vocals. Produced by longtime collaborator Jarrad K — who produced Kelly’s 2020 album Shape & Destroy — the new album also serves as Kelly’s first album made alongside his touring band, and features his father, Tim “Tk” Kelly, on pedal steel.

“This album feels like a return to the truest, purest, most complete version of who I am as an artist and a human being,” Kelly said in a press release. “I wanted to write about joy in a way that was still honest and complicated, because that’s what...

Since her early days as a Maryland teenager uploading aggressive, trap-influenced music on Soundcloud, rapper Rico Nasty has carved out her own unique place as a colorful rager.

“Honestly, I’ve done so many different things in my career, like we’ve landed on an aircraft carrier off the coast of Korea and played for the sailors on board,” he told Variety of why he did the show. “We’ve been to Djibouti, Africa and Bahrain, and we’ve played every state in the US, except for Alaska. If life be an adventure, this certainly falls in that category. I was like, of course, I’ll do that.

Billy Idol has unveiled the latest single from his forthcoming album, Dream Into It, which is set for release this Friday (April 25th). The rock legend has teamed up with Avril Lavigne on the song “77.”

The tune is the second single from Idol’s new LP. following “Still Dancing,” which was released at the time of the album announcement in late February.

“77” falls more in the musical realm of Lavigne than Idol, with its infectious pop-punk sound. Lavigne gets the vocals started on the first verse, and is soon joined by Idol, as the pair duet on the chorus. Idol then takes lead on the second verse, with Lavigne joining in shortly thereafter.

Heavy Consequence recently caught up with Idol to discuss the new album, and he told us about his inspiration for “77,” saying, “ I was just sort of ruminating about how today in America,...

The Voice Season 27 continued the third stage of the competition on Monday with the third installment of "Knockouts" performances. In this round, each coach will set four head-to-head matchups from their team and will be forced to choose only four winners. While they won't be able to save any of the losers from their own team, each coach will have a Steal to bring a loser from another team with them to "The Playoffs." By the end of the round's 16 performances, 20 artists will remain in the competition.

One hallmark of this round is that the artists get to choose their own song to perform rather than have it selected by their coach, as was done in the "Battles." Another is that without guest mentors assisting during rehearsals, it's the first time that John Legend, Kelsea Ballerini, Michael Bublé and Adam Levine get to work one-on-one with the artists on their team.

Last night, American Idol judges Carrie Underwood, Lionel Richie, and Luke Bryan were blown away when the first half of their Top 24 sang for America's vote for the first time. Will the second half rise to the occasion?

Tonight on American Idol: The second half of the Top 24 perform from Aulani, a Disney Resort and Spa in Hawaii. After America's votes are counted, two singers from each night will be eliminated when the Top 20 are revealed during a special "Songs of Faith" episode on Sunday, April 20. Mentoring tonight's group is American Idol's Artist in Residence, Jelly Roll, and Grammy nominee Josh Groban.

As The Voice brought its Season 27 Knockouts to a close Monday evening, five more contestants were issued mic-drop moments — as in “Drop the mic and go.” Losing one would-be winner in particular really bummed me out, too, especially after the performance that she’d just given.

Shaking off a rock ‘n’ roll bad boy reputation isn’t easy—just ask Billy Idol. While he’s been clean and sober since 2010, his image as a rebellious icon lingers.

The “Dancing With Myself” singer’s had to wait nearly two decades for his shot at getting recognized at the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame since he first became eligible in 2007, but at last, he finally earned his first nomination this year.

The nomination back in February was the first development in a busy 2025 for Idol so far. He released “Still Dancing” — his first single in three years — last month. At the end of April, he’s dropping Dream Into It, his first album in 11 years, which with any luck, will be punctuated with a Rock Hall acceptance as well.

Our recurring feature series Track by Track sees artists guiding readers through each song on their new release. Today, indie rockers Momma take a deep dive into their great new album, Welcome to My Blue Sky.

If Momma’s last album, 2022’s Household Name, was an ambitious manifestation of success as a touring rock band, Welcome to My Blue Sky captures the nervy rush of actually getting what they wanted. The Brooklyn band’s new album was written in green rooms and on hotel beds in rare off-days of a packed show schedule that began in 2022 and lasted over a year.

By the time bandleaders Etta Friedman and Allegra Weingarten made it back home and started work on Welcome to My Blue Sky with drummer Preston Fulks and bassist/producer Aron Kobayashi Ritch, they felt like they were different people than when they left. They had navigated major changes in their romantic lives,...

You would think, wouldn’t you, that a good country singer who gives a good performance on The Voice stands a good chance of being stolen by coach Kelsea Ballerini. But Monday’s third night of the Battles threw that theory out the window. Read on, and we’ll discuss the twist and everything else that went down.

Team Kelsea: Iris Herrera (Grade: B) defeated Simone Marijic (Grade: B+) on “Ceilings” — Simone stolen by Michael | On Lizzy McAlpine’s gorgeous ballad, Iris and Simone both fared pretty well, so it really came down to a question of whose approach to the song one preferred.

Becca Harvey, the 26-year-old Atlanta musician who performs as girlpuppy, speaks the same way she writes songs. She’s funny and sharp, talking with an air of whimsy and an earnest self-awareness that turns every almost-too-somber observation she makes on its own head. Just listen to her talk about her second album, Sweetness, which she created on the other side of a four-year relationship.

“I describe it as devastating, but not really,” she says. “It’s funny because it’s sad in such a monotonous way.”

The autobiographical song calls back to one of Idol’s biggest hits (“Dancing with Myself”) and charts his musical journey, from humble punk roots to rockstar status.

But punk rock gave me an opening. I was surrounded by people who loved the music...

Besides Kelly’s rendition of “Complicated,” the five-track collection features covers of songs like Morgan Wallen’s “Sand in My Boots.” “We went to expand the concept a bit, and include songs that were (in my opinion) emo-adjacent — as well as making it clear that ‘dirt emo’ doesn’t have to be a specific genre, per se, but more a mood or style in which I perform/reinterpret a song,” the artist said in a statement. “It’s like angsty tumbleweeds or weeping holding a banjo, etcetera.”

Exclusive: Aaron Holliday (Cocaine Bear), Jermaine Fowler (Sorry to Bother You), Michael Abbott Jr. (Fallout) and Sean Gunn (Guardians of the Galaxy) have wrapped on Appofeniacs, an indie horror film from writer-director Chris Marrs Piliero.

Appofeniacs is a riff on the term “apophenia” which is the tendency to find connections or patterns in things that are unrelated or random — common examples being confirmation bias and paranoia. This marks the feature debut for Piliero, who is known for his music video work with Ariana Grande, Britney Spears, Avril Lavigne, Kesha, and The Black Keys (for which he won an MTV VMA).

Piliero independently financed and produced the film, which also stars Will Brandt, Paige Searcy, Simran Jehani, Harley Bronwyn, and Sean Wing. Gunn exec produced the pic, with Salvatore Schiavone and Jonathan Voluck handling casting.

Previously seen in Universal’s horror comedy Cocaine Bear, Holliday has also been seen on HBO’s Euphoria and Sharp Objects.

While these sentiments from Sunday night’s “I Love L.A.”-themed Grammys were certainly sincere from Eilish and the like, they’d be expected at any major awards event broadcast after an unprecedented national emergency devastating the town where much of the industry operates. But this year, for Grammy top brass Ben Winston, who executive produced Sunday’s show along with Raj Kapoor and Jesse Collins, sentiment and platitudes weren’t enough and he and his team decided that the show’s scheduled date, just...

Give it up for the team behind the 2025 Grammys. Amazing winners — finally, Beyoncé takes home Album of the Year! — and the CBS team admirably focused the telecast on the recovery efforts for the Los Angeles fires and movingly showed how crucial the area is to the music industry, right from the jump.

“This city has just been through one of the largest natural disasters in American history,” host Trevor Noah said in his opening remarks during the February 2 ceremony in L.A. “Los Angeles is where Billie Eilish and Finneas turned a small bedroom in Highland Park into a Grammy-winning studio. The clubs of LA inspired Chappell Roan to create the anthem that is ‘Pink Pony Club.’ … To kick off the show, let me tell you about a band that has L.A. in their DNA.”

Noah went on to tell the audience at home about Dawes, an L.A.

Conspiracy theories are rampant in modern Hollywood, with internet weirdos claiming that Avril Lavigne died and was replaced with a lookalike, Beyonce runs the Illuminati, Logan Paul is a talented performer, etc. But viewers back in the day didn’t need the internet to be weird. Conspiracy theories were just as prevalent in Old Hollywood, there just weren't any subreddits to share them on.

5 James Dean Faked His Death

Rumors of faked death have plagued everyone from Elvis to Tupac, but they go back at least as far as James Dean, whose fans immediately refused to believe he really perished in a 1955 car crash. The car, which was put on display by its new owner, wasn’t damaged enough to have withstood a deadly crash, they insisted, so he must have been either disfigured to the point of being hidden by the studio or used the accident as an excuse...

It’s Bonnaroo’s turn to unveil its 2025 lineup, and what a weird and wonderful collection of artists they’ve brought together to perform at the Manchester, Tennessee, music festival from June 12th to 15th.

Olivia Rodrigo, Tyler, the Creator, Hozier, and Luke Combs top the 2025 bill, but it’s the undercard where the magic really lies. Notable names include Queens of the Stone Age, Megadeth, Justice, Avril Lavigne, Tyla, Goose, Modest Mouse, Glass Animals, Beabadoobee, Mj Lenderman, The Lemon Twigs, Raye, Foster the People, Jpegmafia, Nelly, Jack’s Mannequin, Natasha Bedingfield, Marcus King, Royel Otis, and Mannequin Pussy. Plus, King Gizzard & The Lizard Wizard will be playing three (!) separate sets over the course of the weekend, and Remi Wolf will be hosting a 1970’s Pool Party-themed SuperJam. And all of that’s without mentioning Insane Clown Posse (!!), who are set to make their Bonnaroo debut. Yes, Bonnaroovians and Juggalos, together at last.
