It’s been said countless times since Liam and Noel Gallagher buried the hatchet last year to launch their rapturously received Oasis Live ’25 reunion run, but the formerly quarrelsome siblings who used to make Cane and Abel look like the Kelce brothers have found that special magic again. And then some. When the tour finally hit U.S. shores on Thursday night (Aug. 28) at a sold-out Soldier Field in Chicago for one of only five American dates, there was an unmistakable, heart-warming majesty to the display of true brotherhood between the Gallaghers. From their now signature hand-in-hand walk out to…

READ MORE: Sabrina Carpenter live in London: A testament to playing the long game to pop superstardom The pop singer’s seventh studio album ‘Man’s Best Friend‘ arrived today (August 29), having so far been previewed by the “song of the summer”, ‘Manchild‘. The lyrics to that track saw Carpenter unapologetically call out inept men, and the music video saw her hitchhike across the US at sunset, casting them aside one by one. The Bardia Zeinali-directed visual for ‘Tears’ has followed suit, seemingly dialling up…

A new bombshell enters the villa! Elephant Man took a moment on Billboard‘s Caribbean Music Awards red-carpet livestream to serenade Love Island USA star Chelley Bissainthe with his latest hit “Pretty Baby.” Chelley co-hosted Billboard‘s live pre-show (which streamed on the Billboard News YouTube page and the Billboard Hip-Hop/R&B X page) alongside Billboard staff writer Kyle Denis, and when the Jamaican legend stopped by, the duo asked if he would sing a little of his Connie Francis-interpolating track. “Well, you know, because she’s so beautiful, I just gotta say…” Elephant Man said as he turned to serenade Bissainthe, lamenting the…
Director Darren Aronofsky has described his new, ‘90s thriller Caught Stealing as a “romp”. It’s not the word you’d typically associate with the uncompromising mind behind 2000’s brutal, unflinching Requiem For A Dream and 2010’s dark, twisting Black Swan. His last movie, 2022’s divisive The Whale, saw him controversially cast Brendan Fraser as a morbidly obese recluse. That film was a challenging watch, which is perhaps why the auteur has bounced back with a retro caper that seems determined to show you a good time via nostalgia, heart-pounding action and a pumping soundtrack courtesy of IDLES. It’s 1998 and we’re…

The track is a tribute to Costello’s loving wife of 20 years, Erica Ziegler, who passed away only two months following a cancer diagnosis. “The process of writing, recording and producing this precious song has been incredibly cathartic for me, and my heart goes out to anyone and anyone who has lost a loved one…

READ MORE: ‘The Last Of Us’ season two review: heartbreakingly brilliant apocalypse drama The first season of HBO’s The Last Of Us adapted the plot of the hit video game, while the second season began to tell the story of The Last Of Us Part II.
