The second season of Nathan Fielder’s The Rehearsal is already making waves in the aviation safety community, as evidenced by the fact that Fielder was given a platform to roast the Faa on CNN. And the House Committee on Transportation and Infrastructure straight up addressed the thesis of a TV show that once featured a prolonged discussion about the fuckability of Albert Einstein.

But The Rehearsal has also, it seems, had a pretty big influence on the music world. As you may recall, in the episode “Pilot’s Code,” Fielder attempts to relive the bulk of Captain Sully Sullenberger's life, beginning in infancy. After pouring over Sully's autobiography, Fielder floats the theory that the famed pilot was only able to pull off the “Miracle on the Hudson” with the aid of his trusty iPod and the inspiring sounds of one of his very favorite bands: Evanescence.

No two nights of Halsey’s wondrous For My Last Trick Tour have been the same. Since the live run began in May, the musician has switched up the setlist with surprise songs in every city. Some cities got two songs, while others received three and sometimes four. Some welcomed special guests, like Amy Lee and Lauren Jauregui. But for their latest trick, Halsey premiered the currently unreleased song “Carry the Weight” in Salt Lake City on Tuesday, June 24.

The pop-rock record is driven by propulsive guitars as Halsey sheds the weight of the past.

Hollywood is out participating in the “No Kings” protests.

People are protesting all across the country, including in major cities like Los Angeles and New York City, against President Donald Trump and his policies, just hours ahead of his military parade for the U.S. Army’s 250th Anniversary in Washington on Saturday, which is also Trump’s birthday.

Mark Ruffalo spoke with MSNBC at a protest in New York City and was asked why people were out protesting in the rain “to send a message,” to which he responded, “Because we see our democracy is in real trouble.”

“We see a president who has made himself a king and dictator, and we don’t seen an opposition that’s powerful enough to stand up against the trampling of our rights and the trampling of the Constitution that’s happening every single day with executive orders, with the refusal to obey court orders,...

Former Evanescence guitarist Jen Majura has announced that she’s stepping away from the music industry, citing “AI related developments and change in society” among her reasons.

Majura joined Evanescence’s touring lineup in 2015 before being named a permanent member in 2017. However, she was let go from the band in 2022, with bassist Tim McCord switching over to guitar, and Sick Puppies’ Emma Anzai joining the group as its new bassist.

In a lengthy Instagram post, Majura detailed her reasons for quitting the music industry, while also mentioning she was releasing some unearthed material as a parting gift to her fans. Her open letter reads as follows:

“Dear friends

I‘m gonna make this as brief as I can:

After careful consideration, observing what‘s going on in the music industry, AI related developments and change in society I‘ve come to the conclusion to step away.

Pop star Halsey and Evanescence singer Amy Lee gave their recently released single “Hand That Feeds” its live debut on Wednesday night (May 14th) at the Hollywood Bowl in Los Angeles.

The onstage collab wasn’t a total surprise, given that Evanescence provided direct support for Halsey at the concert, marking a one-off appearance by Amy Lee and company on Halsey’s recently launched “For My Last Trick” North American tour.

Halsey started off the song, singing the initial verses, and then a loud roar erupted from the crowd as Lee walked out onstage to join in on the chorus. Lee then took on the second verse, before the pair duetted on the rest of the tune. At the end of the song, an excited Halsey, who has called Lee one of her musical heroes, rushed to embrace the Evanescence vocalist, telling the audience, “Please give...

“Hand That Feeds” arrives just as Halsey is set to kick off a North American tour on Saturday (May 10th) in Concord, California. The two-month outing runs through a July 6th show in Highland, California, with tickets available here.

Halsey is a longtime fan of Amy Lee, and even dressed up as the Evanescence singer as part of the promotion of her 2024 album, The Great Impersonator. At the time, she called Lee her “Og dark rock queen.”

Leading up to the release of “Hand That Feeds,” Halsey admitted she was “freaking out about it,” while Lee added, “So thrilled to bring you a new song, ‘Hand That Feeds’ with Halsey … We’ve been...

Halsey and Evanescence singer Amy Lee have teamed up for impassioned single, “Hand That Feeds.” The thundering pop number was written for Ballerina, a forthcoming film set in the John Wick universe.

The intensely-performed track sees the vocalists trading verses before coming together over the chorus: “Too late ’cause you know you can’t turn around and bite the hand that feeds.”

Halsey and Amy Lee just dropped a new song together – “Hand That Feeds“!

The 30-year-old entertainer and the 43-year-old Evanescence singer teamed up for the new duet, which was written for the upcoming movie Ballerina, from the world of John Wick.

“Hand That Feeds is officially out! It’s been so much fun making music for the @ballerinamovie – and such a pleasure to create with @iamhalsey,” Amy shared on Instagram.

“You say I mean the world to you to keep me on my knees / You dig the knife in deeper just to watch how much I bleed / I’m stripped to the bone I wanna be alone, no matter how I plead / You do it ’cause you know you can / Turn around and bite the hand that feeds,” Halsey and Amy sing in the chorus.

This week’s installment of The Rehearsal boldly answers the question “What if the movie Sully starred Nathan Fielder instead of Tom Hanks and took place inside a 19th century carnival performer’s feverish nightmare?”

The episode opens with a stunt involving Fielder’s attempt to revive the personality of a dead dog via its clone. Then, in a left turn so wide that it mounted the curb and hit several pedestrians, Fielder endeavors to try out this “personality transfer” approach on himself. And because this season is all about aviation safety, the personality he tries to hack into is that of Captain Sully Sullenberger.

Using Sully’s 2009 memoir Highest Duty as his road map, Fielder restages key moments in the pilot’s life, experiencing them firsthand. It all begins in infancy, a feat that’s accomplished with gigantic sets and towering puppets. Of course, Baby Nathan doesn’t actually...

When Netflix decided to adapt video game franchise Devil May Cry into a new animated series, the streamer knew that fans wanted to be surprised at every turn. They were, but soon after Season 1 premiered, they discovered that the surprises weren't limited to the series itself. The streamer brought Evanescence to perform one of the series' theme songs, and that was surprising enough. However, the music video for "Afterlife" revealed that there are even more surprises in store: the music video brought a sneak peek from Season 2 of the series.

With the characteristic red look from Devil May Cry, the music video from "Afterlife" is a good way to welcome the rock band after a four-year hiatus. It is also an excellent way for vocalist Amy Lee to announce that Evanescence is planning to release a new album in 2025. But for Devil May Cry fans, the music video had an extra special taste.

If there is one franchise that is known for its amazing soundtracks and combat, it’s Devil May Cry, for sure. Everyone who has played the games can attest to the amazing soundtracks that play in the background when you go for those Stylish Ranks (I reach Smokin’ Style and SSadistic without breaking a sweat).

Netflix and Adi Shankar (god bless them for this show) have continued this tradition by bringing back Evanescence and giving us a banger of an opening in the form of Afterlife.

Now, I don’t know about you guys, but when I played Devil May Cry 3: Dante’s Awakening for the first time and fought Vergil in the rain, I was unconsciously humming Bring Me to Life, which is a song by Evanescence.

Evanescence have unveiled a brand new song called “Afterlife” for the new Netfilx anime series Devil May Cry, which is set to premiere on April 3rd. In advance of the show’s debut, fans can hear the full track now in the official lyric video below.

“I absolutely love the show, art and story,” Evanescence singer Amy Lee told Billboard. “I have always loved good anime. Right from the first scene of the show, I knew it was going to be good. Creative and thought-provoking, horrific and beautiful, classic.”

Devil May Cry is based on the long-running video-game franchise of the same name, created in 2001 by Hideki Kamiya. While Lee wasn’t familiar with the game, she did watch an advance of the entire first season of the Netflix show before co-writing the song with DJ/producer/composer Mako (aka Alex Seaver).

“I love it. It’s so well done.

Continuing the nu-metal throwback that also includes Limp Bizkit and Papa Roach, the “Devil May Cry” soundtrack has a new Evanescence song titled “Afterlife.”

Co-written by Evanescence frontwoman Amy Lee and Alex “Mako” Seaver, the lyric video below features new footage from the show.

The song will be available on streaming platforms at midnight, and the full “Devil May Cry” soundtrack drops on April 3 — the same day the eight-episode anime hits Netflix.

Based on the Capcom video game franchise, the series is created by Adi Shankar, who also serves as showrunner, and produced by South Korean animation studio Studio Mir.

Sinister forces are at play at the portal between the human and demon realms. In the middle of it all is Dante, an orphaned demon hunter for hire, unaware that the fate of both worlds hangs around his neck.

It’s time for Evanescencefans to assemble because the band is all set to jump on the highly anticipated game-to-anime adaptation bandwagon, which is none other than Devil May Cry. The Adi Shankar-helmed series appears to have confirmed that the upcoming Devil May Cry anime will feature a powerhouse song by the rock band Evanescence — the band behind hits like “Bring Me To Life,” “Lithium,” and “My Immortal.”

The news comes after both NetflixGeeked and Shankar shared a video posted by the band on its official X (previously Twitter) handle. The video features Evanescence vocalist Amy Lee, doing a countdown using hand signals — first three fingers, then two — before culminating in the classic “devil horns” gesture. So while it’s unclear what the song will be like, or what exactly it is for, this countdown and the repost by Shankar must mean that there’s some kind of a...

Often, people on The Price is Right make daring bids to have the best chance of winning. This happens from the opening bids to the final Showcase. This happened again on an episode this last week when one contestant shocked everyone when she made a surprising bid in the Showcase Showdown. It worked out perfectly as well since it got her ht6e win.

Here is a look at what happened on the game show and how the player won despite making a daring bid.

Woman Wins Showcase Showdown Despite Very Low Bid

On The Price is Right, people have specific tactics they implement to try to win the prizes. This starts from the game’s beginning when people are bidding on the Contestants’ Row. When people are unsure about the cost, they will often bid $1 more than the person they thought was closest. This, if nothing else, blocks the other player from winning.

A Price is Right contestant caused quite a stir on Thursday’s (January 16) episode after making a crazily brave $1 bid during the Showcase round, only for it to pay off and win her a massive prize. The contestant in question was Anna, who faced off against fellow contestant Amy Lee in a tricky pricing game. Amy Lee was first up and had to guess the price of a laptop and craft suite, camping gear and painting set, and a 2024 Mazda Mazda3 S. She initially wanted to say $55,000 before the studio audience talked her down. She almost went for $35,000 but ultimately landed on $40,000. It was then Anna’s turn to make her bid on three separate trips, including one to Mexico, another to Germany, and finally, a trip to Bali. She turned to her family in the audience for advice. “One Dollar?” she said, confirming whether that was what her family wanted her to say.

Evanescence played their last show of 2024 on Tuesday night (October 29th) in London, Ontario, wrapping up a Canadian tour with Halestorm. For the final song of the night, Amy Lee and company were joined onstage by Lzzy Hale for a rousing rendition of “Bring Me to Life.”

While Hale and Lee have shared the stage before, this was the first time Lzzy sang “Bring Me to Life” with Evanescence. Taking on the guest vocal part recorded by Paul McCoy on the original, Hale delivered a powerhouse scream to complement Lee’s heavenly vocals.

At the end of the song, Lee and Hale embraced. The Evanescence singer then told the audience, “That’s it, 2024. Goodnight!”

Throughout the tour, Lee had been joining Halestorm during their set for the song “Break In,” a tune that Lzzy Hale and company re-recorded with Lee for their 2020 Reimagined EP.

As such, the details are pretty scant. Woodley is set to star and produce, and the production company backing the film is Temple Hill Entertainment, which has done the Twilight movies,...

You won’t find Evanescence singer Amy Lee chilling in da club with 50 Cent anytime soon. As the goth-rock vocalist explained in a new interview, the rapper “hates [her] guts.”

Fifty’s beef with Lee stems from the time he lost the Grammy for Best New Artist to Evanescence in 2004. Despite not being announced as the winner, 50 Cent still walked across the stage, making for an awkward moment during Evanescence’s acceptance speech.

When asked by Daily Beast about the incident, Lee responded, “50 Cent hates my guts,” adding, “It’s just one of those things… I mean, truthfully, we thought he was going to win, too. It was such a wild night. People are like, ‘What was it like to win a Grammy?’ and I’m like, ‘Stressful!’ I mean, it’s wonderful now, to have them, but it was surreal… I just remember thinking, ‘I don’t even think...

Where You Know...

"Unless you are vigilant, you will drown in fear." Adult Swim has debuted a trailer for an animated release titled Metalocalypse: Army of the Doomstar, a feature film spin-off from the animated series called "Metalocalypse". Originally premiering on Adult Swim in 2006, it ran for four seasons with another special Metalocalypse: The Doomstar Requiem (in 2013). The series was created by Brendon Small and Tommy Blancha, and this new movie is written & directed by Small. Can Nathan Explosion look beyond his brutally damaged ego to save his band, stop the Metalocalypse, and finally face the ultimate evil: Salacia? The movie stars the voices of Brendon Small, Tommy Blacha, Victor Brandt, Stephen "Thundercat" Bruner (Grammy Award-winning musician), King Diamond (King Diamond; Mercyful Fate), plus Mark Hamill, Kirk Hammett, Jon Hamm, Scott Ian (Anthrax), Amy Lee (Evanescence), Malcolm McDowell, Juliet Mills, Laraine Newman (SNL), and Livia Zita (2022 winner - Society of Voice Arts and Sciences Award). This looks gnarly!

Adult Swim has dropped the first trailer for Metalocalypse: Army of the Doomstar.

Released to YouTube, the preview opens with Charles Foster Offdensen (Brendon Small) warning Dethklok that "the end of days is nigh" and that after so many years, "the metalocalypse is upon us." Although they're scared, the band sets out to find the "Song of Salvation" that will save the world from the coming Doomstar and Mr. Salacia's (Mark Hamill) evil plans for it. The trailer concludes by announcing that Army of the Doomstar will release on digital and Blu-ray on August 22.

The news comes after a string of singles from the UK band: “DIE4u,” “sTraNgeRs,” “LosT,” and “AmEN!” It’s undetermined if those song will be included on the new album (the tracklist is pending), though the wonky capitalization in the titles implies they are likely part of the same collection.

The band used an immersive augmented-reality approach to announcing the album, offering fans a series of clues and riddles that eventually led to a secret building, The Church of Genxsis, which was on site at the Download Festival alongside Bmth’s appearance at the UK fest this past weekend. Once inside, fans experienced “a variety of immersive Genxsis rituals, including face branding, a sermon and tarot readings as they completed their journey to becoming members.”

The LP will...

Origins is a recurring series that gives artists a space to break down everything that went into their latest release. Today, Gavin Rossdale takes us through his “1000 Years” duet with Amy Lee from Bush’s deluxe edition of The Art of Survival.

Bush are set to unveil a deluxe edition of their 2022 album The Art of Survival this Friday (June 9th). In advance of the release, Gavin Rossdale is sharing the origins of a new version of the song “1000 Years” featuring a duet with Evanescence singer Amy Lee.

Rossdale and Lee performed the song together during a Bush show at the famed Ryman Auditorium in Nashville in February of this year. Prior to joining the band onstage, Lee sent Rossdale a demo of her vocals on the track, bringing the Bush frontman to tears.

“She sent me the song back with her vocal on it,” he told Audacy Music in an interview following the performance.

Evanescence’s 2003 anthem “Bring Me to Life” famously features a rap-metal section. For a while, Amy Lee abandoned that part of the song during the band’s live shows, but lately she’s re-embraced it with the help of some notable vocalists.

For Evanescence’s rendition of “Bring Me to Life” at the Rock Am Ring festival in Germany on Saturday (June 3rd), the band tapped a nu-metal luminary who had performed earlier that day: Jacoby Shaddix of Papa Roach.

Shaddix was a natural fit — especially considering he helped pioneer the nu-metal rap style with Papa Roach — nailing the vocal part that was performed by Paul McCoy of 12 Stones on the original recording.

Last year, Lee recruited P.O.D. singer Sonny Sandoval to perform the rap section of “Bring Me to Life” during a few shows.

As Lee noted in an interview with Metal Hammer earlier this year, Evanescence...

Music legend Tina Turner died on May 24, 2023, at the age of 83, and it's time to revisit some of the most memorable American Idol performances of her songs. Tina was a singer, dancer, and author. Audiences first fell in love with her when she was the lead singer of the Ike & Tina Turner Revue, and she later became an iconic solo artist. During her illustrious career, Tina earned three American Music Awards, seven Billboard Awards, eight Grammy Awards, three Grammy Hall of Fame Awards, and the Grammy Lifetime Achievement Award.

Throughout its 21 seasons, American Idol contestants have paid tribute to the Queen of Rock & Roll with performances of her songs. Some memorable contestants who sang her songs were Naima Adedapo, Olivia Ximines, Layla Spring, and Todrick Hall. Although taking on a Tina Turner classic is a monumental task for any singer, the finalists enjoyed performing her songs because they're challenging and entertaining.

Tina Turner’s cause of death has been revealed.

Speaking to The Daily Mail, a rep confirmed that the music icon, who passed away Wednesday at age 83, died of natural causes.

There's a lot that can be said about Tina Turner. The music legend, who passed away on May 24th at the age of 83, had been dubbed the "Queen of Rock n' Roll" thanks to her huge impact on that genre while rising to prominence during the '50s and '60s. Her fit, impressive figure became so famous all by itself that she allegedly had her legs insured for $3.2 million. One of her first and biggest hit songs, "Proud Mary," became a hit that dwarfed the original version by Credence Clearwater Revival. Above all else, Turner was a consummate performer.

Given that, it's a crying shame that she graced the silver screen a mere handful of times, and most of those appearances were as herself. No matter who she was playing, Turner showed up and dug into the performance with as much spirit and professionalism as any of her live shows,...

The Masked Singer season 9's Medusa, who was revealed to be platinum-selling singer Bishop Briggs, won the Golden Mask trophy after competing against David Archuleta's Macaw, and even though they were both fantastic throughout the season, Medusa deserved her win. As Medusa, Bishop made history on the show as the first-ever contestant to be saved by the panelists Robin Thicke, Jenny McCarthy Wahlberg, Ken Jeong, and Nicole Scherzinger, with the Ding Dong Keep It On Bell. After sailing through the first two weeks with her stunning performances, she was dethroned by Pentatonix as California Roll during New York Night after the audience vote.

However, The Masked Singer season 9 panelists chose to save Medusa, whose identity stumped them throughout the competition. Every time they received new clues, instead of her identity becoming more clear, they were even more puzzled. What they did know was that Medusa is one of the...

The four panelists on “The Masked Singer” are having a hard time narrowing down the identity of the secret celebrity hiding inside the Medusa costume. The snake-haired villainess performed a pitch-perfect rendition of “Happier Than Ever” during the season premiere and left the judges “speechless.” She returned in Episode 2 with “Dancing Queen” and won the crown yet again. Medusa then performed “New York, New York” in Episode 3, but lost the vote to California Roll, however she was saved by the “Ding Dong Keep It On” Bell and won the comeback competition. She then advanced from the quarter-finals and the semi-finals, which means she will appear in the season finale. Do You know who she is? Read on for the judges’ “The Masked Singer” Medusa guesses.
