The event marked the first time a Western rock band staged a stadium concert behind the Iron Curtain."This is going to be the most real experience of us, Queen, in our glory days," guitarist Brian May said when the anniversary edition was announced. "I think people will get lost in it and even forget they're watching a film."The trailer shows scenes on and off stage, captured on and around July 27, 1986. Peter Jackson's Park Road Post Production remastered the footage, originally shot with 17 cameras. The audio was also remastered from the original multitrack tapes."For years, fans behind the Iron Curtain could only listen to Queen on illegal cassettes," May said. "It was forbidden to listen to rock bands like us, so seeing us live was unthinkable.""This concert, when they could finally see us live and interact, was a huge emotional moment for them and for us," May said. "You could feel the energy. There will never be an event quite like that again.""Queen: Budapest" opens in theaters and select IMAX locations Oct. 7. A general release follows Oct. 30 on Blu-ray, DVD, triple-vinyl, double-CD and digital formats.

Parton, who built her career as a country artist, said she wanted to justify her recognition by venturing into the rock genre."This has inspired me to put out a hopefully great rock and roll album at some point in the future, which I have always wanted to do," Parton said.Soon after, Parton began revealing potential collaborators, including former Journey frontman Steve Perry. Perry confirmed his participation on social media, writing, "If Dolly says it's true, then it must be true. Her voice is amazing."Parton's 30-track album features covers of songs she admires and includes collaborations with artists such as Paul McCartney, Ringo Starr, Stevie Nicks, Mick Fleetwood, Ann and Nancy Wilson of Heart, Sting, Elton John, Melissa Etheridge, Lizzo, Richie Sambora, Rob Halford of Judas Priest, Michael McDonald, John Fogerty, Steven Tyler of Aerosmith, Debbie Harry, and her goddaughter Miley Cyrus.For her duet with Perry, Parton chose Journey's 1981 hit "Open Arms." "Steve Perry is singing with me on it, and he's the one that had the original on that years ago," Parton said. "It was a big hit."Perry co-wrote "Open Arms" with keyboardist Jonathan Cain for Journey's seventh album, "Escape." The song reached No. 2 on the Billboard Hot 100 and appeared on the soundtrack for the 1981 film "Heavy Metal." Mariah Carey also found success with her cover of "Open Arms" on her 1995 album "Daydream."Parton's version adds her signature vocal style, with Perry providing backing vocals. Perry last performed the song live with Journey in 1991 at a tribute concert for promoter Bill Graham in San Francisco."I have been a Dolly Parton fan for years and years, and to sing one of my songs with her was truly a thrill," Perry said. "When I first got the track I could not believe how strong and amazing her voice was. I did my very best to keep up with that girl, but boy she's got fire. And to quote her on my telephone, she said, 'I think we harmonize well together, don't you?' And I said, 'Absolutely, my dear. Absolutely.'"Parton shared that "Open Arms" holds personal meaning. Her late husband, Carl Dean, once suggested she record it as a duet with longtime collaborator Kenny Rogers. Parton and Rogers recorded several duets over the years, including "Islands in the Stream," "Real Love," and "You Can't Make Old Friends.""My husband always loved it and always thought I should have recorded it with Kenny Rogers, but I never got a chance to do that," Parton said. "So, when I started doing the rock album, I thought, 'Well, I'm going to record 'Open Arms,' and then I'm going to ask Steve Perry to sing it with me.' I wish I had written it."389774roadhouse rock, dolly parton, death, remembrance, rockstar, rock hall, inductee, steve perryblogs/8-2026/389774-roadhouse-rock-doll-s.jpg2https://www.blackvibes.com/features/blogs/rdhouserockusa-roadhouse-rock-bret-michaels-postponement-746128/features/blogs/rdhouserockusa-roadhouse-rock-bret-michaels-postponement-746128/Posted by rdhouserockusa0https://www.blackvibes.com/features/blogs/rdhouserockusa-roadhouse-rock-bret-michaels-postponement-746128/#commentsMon, 24 Aug 2026 14:13 GMTSUGAR HILL, Ga. - Bret Michaels will take several months off from touring as he continues to recover from complicated kidney stone surgery, according to a statement posted to his social media accounts.Michaels, the lead singer of Poison, performed Friday night at The Bowl in Sugar Hill, Georgia. After the show, doctors and paramedics determined he needed more rest and recovery time.Michaels was hospitalized last month after performing multiple shows in what he described as "intense" pain. Doctors diagnosed him with a complicated obstructing kidney stone that required immediate surgery. He also received a ureteral stent.At the time, Michaels was also dealing with a lower back compression fracture and managing his lifelong Type 1 diabetes. Doctors initially told him to take three to four weeks off to recover.Michaels returned to the stage Friday, but doctors ordered a longer break due to ongoing health concerns. As a result, he will miss his scheduled performance Saturday at the Mountain Music Festival in Tennessee.Dr. Abby Borhan and Dr. Patel, Michaels' physicians, said in a statement, "We will be pulling Bret off the road for the time being. He wanted to attempt this show, but we feel there is a much-needed period of rest and slow recovery ahead, especially considering the heat and humidity during the summer months and the effect it can have on his blood sugar levels."Michaels Entertainment Group apologized for the cancellations and said they look forward to his return once he has fully recovered.389760roadhouse rock, bret michaels, postponement, medical, procedure, concerts, poisonblogs/8-2026/389760-roadhouse-rock-bret-s.jpg2https://www.blackvibes.com/features/blogs/rdhouserockusa-roadhouse-rock-zz-top-frank-beard-116968/features/blogs/rdhouserockusa-roadhouse-rock-zz-top-frank-beard-116968/Posted by rdhouserockusa0https://www.blackvibes.com/features/blogs/rdhouserockusa-roadhouse-rock-zz-top-frank-beard-116968/#commentsMon, 24 Aug 2026 14:08 GMTZZ Top returned to the stage Saturday night at ACL Live at the Moody Theater in Austin, Texas, for the band's first concert since longtime drummer Frank Beard died Monday.The band did not directly address Beard's death during the show. Singer and guitarist Billy Gibbons, the only remaining member from ZZ Top's classic lineup, introduced new drummer Michael Monahan after the opening song, "Got Me Under Pressure.""I guess some of you probably know there's a new man in town," Gibbons told the audience. "Elwood (Francis, bassist) and I got an unexpected call from our dear Frank Beard, our dear drummer for 50 years. I've never heard him admit, he said, 'My bass drum foot's a little weak. Can you get my man to take over?' I said, 'Oh yeah, yeah, he's been doing pretty good.' Frank said, 'Yeah, that's what worries me.'"Gibbons told the crowd, "We're all here for a celebration," and encouraged fans to enjoy the night. Earlier in the week, he paid tribute to Beard in a statement, calling him a "great friend and collaborator."Throughout the night, ZZ Top played a mix of blues-rock staples and hits, including "Waitin' for the Bus," "Jesus Just Left Chicago," "Gimme All Your Lovin'," "Cheap Sunglasses," "Sharp Dressed Man" and "Legs."Francis, who replaced bassist Dusty Hill after his death in 2021, brought energy and humor to the performance. He played a bright yellow, 17-string bass and matched Gibbons with a series of eye-catching instruments, including fur-covered guitars. Gibbons introduced Francis by saying, "This is a special night. He just got out of prison," before launching into "I'm Bad, I'm Nationwide."Gibbons also played his solo song "Brown Paper Bag" and briefly mentioned a new album, but quickly returned to ZZ Top classics.The band ended the show with "La Grange." Gibbons, Francis and Monahan took a bow and left the stage. ZZ Top is scheduled to play again at the Moody Theater on Sunday. Their current tour runs through late November.Gibbons and his bandmates have continued touring after the losses of both Hill and Beard, suggesting they plan to perform as long as they are able.389758roadhouse rock, zz top, frank beard, concert, texas, remembranceblogs/8-2026/389758-roadhouse-rock-zz--s.jpg2https://www.blackvibes.com/features/blogs/rdhouserockusa-roadhouse-rock-def-leppard-vivian-campbell-681308/features/blogs/rdhouserockusa-roadhouse-rock-def-leppard-vivian-campbell-681308/Posted by rdhouserockusa0https://www.blackvibes.com/features/blogs/rdhouserockusa-roadhouse-rock-def-leppard-vivian-campbell-681308/#commentsFri, 21 Aug 2026 14:12 GMTVivian Campbell, guitarist for Def Leppard, said his cancer has returned after a donor transplant did not succeed.Campbell was first diagnosed with Hodgkin's lymphoma in 2013. He underwent bone marrow surgery last year and was declared in remission afterward.In a recent interview with YSKL FM, Campbell said he now needs more treatment."There's only been one time that I felt [cancer] was going to kill me," Campbell said. "In the winter of 2023, I got really scared about what was happening and the pace at which it was happening. I realized at that point I had to do a donor transplant. It was my only hope to survive."I did that in January of '25 - I did a donor transplant. Unfortunately, it didn't stick. So the cancer has returned. And I'm continuing treatments to manage it."Campbell said he may need another transplant in a few years with a different donor. "But in the meantime, I'm not slowing down," he said. "I'm doing as much with my life as possible - not just with Def Leppard and with Last In Line. I'm also rally driving - I always wanted to do that. I love cars and I love driving. As a child I thought, 'If I don't play guitar for a living, I'm going to be a race car driver.' I feel very fortunate that I get to do both."Campbell offered advice to those who receive a cancer diagnosis. He said life changes after hearing the news but believes it is possible to stay positive."I've met people in my life who think, 'Oh, I can't do anything. I need to stay in bed. I can't eat this. I can't do that. I can't go there.' I've never felt that way," he said."I've always felt like I'm going to continue to live my life as much as possible - in fact, even more so. I also consider myself fortunate because I caught my cancer early; it's always been more about managing my cancer."He added, "Life is for the living. I encourage everyone, if you're unfortunate enough to get a cancer diagnosis, to overcome the fear. Fear is inevitable when you're first told those words. But once you get over that, you've got to realize just how to manage it and how to deal with it as best as possible. And just don't give in."389759roadhouse rock, def leppard, vivian campbell, cancer, hodgkins, lymphomablogs/8-2026/389759-roadhouse-rock-def--s.jpg2https://www.blackvibes.com/features/blogs/rdhouserockusa-roadhouse-rock-rikki-rockett-poison-351568/features/blogs/rdhouserockusa-roadhouse-rock-rikki-rockett-poison-351568/Posted by rdhouserockusa0https://www.blackvibes.com/features/blogs/rdhouserockusa-roadhouse-rock-rikki-rockett-poison-351568/#commentsWed, 19 Aug 2026 14:13 GMTPoison drummer Rikki Rockett held off publishing his memoir while his parents were alive to spare them from embarrassment, he said in a recent interview.Rockett's book, "Ghost Notes," co-written with Leif Eriksson and Martin Svensson, will be published Sept. 15 by Rare Bird Books. Speaking with This Day In Metal, Rockett discussed why he waited to release his story."I didn't want to embarrass my parents when they were alive by telling some of these stories," Rockett said. "And then I thought, 'Now I've got kids.' But I'm always going to have kids, and in a normal life, they're going to outlive me. So at some point, I got to do this. And they're old enough now that I can say, 'Let me explain this.' So I feel like that's OK now."Rockett said readers would expect details about "the bad things," mentioning Poison's drama at the 1991 MTV Video Music Awards and his own battle with cancer."They're part of the ride," he said. "So I think I went pretty deeply into most of those-enough to give a lot of understanding."He admitted he chose not to include some stories after reconsidering. "There were a lot of things that I later said, 'You know what? I don't feel good about that. Let's reel that back in.'"Rockett said he tried not to throw anyone "under the bus.""If somebody feels that way, it'll be interesting to find out why they feel that way," he said.He wants readers to see him as a person, not just a rock musician."I want people to see me as a person, not just a fixture, and realize that-anybody, any musician or actor, entertainer-there's real feelings back there," Rockett said.Rockett expressed appreciation for his career and the band's fans."I am eternally grateful to be where I am and in the band I'm in and for what the fans have given us," he said.He shared a quote from Poison bandmate Bret Michaels that sums up his outlook: "Fame is what other people give you, and success is what you give yourself."389701roadhouse rock, rikki rockett, poison, memoir, releaseblogs/8-2026/389701-roadhouse-rock-rikk-s.jpg2https://www.blackvibes.com/features/blogs/rdhouserockusa-roadhouse-rock-frank-beard-zz-top-117598/features/blogs/rdhouserockusa-roadhouse-rock-frank-beard-zz-top-117598/Posted by rdhouserockusa0https://www.blackvibes.com/features/blogs/rdhouserockusa-roadhouse-rock-frank-beard-zz-top-117598/#commentsTue, 18 Aug 2026 17:19 GMTRICHMOND, Texas - Frank Beard, longtime drummer for ZZ Top, died Aug. 17 at his ranch in Richmond, Texas, according to a statement from the band. He was in hospice care and surrounded by family.Guitarist and singer Billy Gibbons said in a statement, "Today, Elwood [Francis, bassist] and I lost a great friend and collaborator. And the world lost one of the most naturally innovative drummers and a great and true son of Texas. His signature backbeat was key to keeping ZZ on top."In March 2025, ZZ Top announced Beard would step away from the band's North American tour to address unspecified health issues.Beard joined Gibbons in ZZ Top about a year after Gibbons formed the group following his work with the Moving Sidewalks. In the 2020 documentary "That Little Ol' Band From Texas," Beard recalled, "I drove down to Houston, I hunted all over the place, found Billy Gibbons, made him go - I mean, just threatened him - made him go to the rehearsal studio. I made him jam for about eight hours till his tongue just fell out."Gibbons said in the same documentary, "It didn't take 30 minutes, didn't take 30 seconds. I knew that Frank Beard had the kind of chops that I was looking for. He played fiercely, he played with determination."Soon after, Beard recruited bassist Dusty Hill from his former band, American Blues. The trio's lineup - Beard, Gibbons and Hill - stayed together for more than 50 years, becoming one of rock's most enduring acts.Beard played on all 15 of ZZ Top's studio albums, from their 1971 debut "ZZ Top's First Album" to 2012's "La Futura." The group's blues-rock sound reflected influences from Texas and Mexico, where "border blasting" radio stations introduced them to the "country Jesus and hillbilly blues" mentioned in their 1975 single "Heard It on the X."As the band's profile grew with hits like "Tush" and "La Grange," ZZ Top took a break in 1977, partly so Beard could address substance abuse. "Frank goes all out on what he does, and that includes the bad things," Hill said in the documentary. Beard added, "The pills thing came about just from the workload." The break lasted nearly two years.Gibbons told CBS Sunday Morning in 2020, "There is no other drummer. There's one guy."Despite his last name, Beard was the only member of the trio without the now-famous chin-length beard sported by Gibbons and Hill.ZZ Top returned with the 1979 album "Deguello," showcasing a more experimental sound. Their 1983 album "Eliminator," with heavy use of synthesizers and drum machines, brought them unexpected mainstream success.The group continued to tour for decades, although their studio output slowed after the release of "XXX" in 1999.389698roadhouse rock, frank beard, zz top, death, drummerblogs/8-2026/389698-roadhouse-rock-fran-s.jpg2https://www.blackvibes.com/features/blogs/rdhouserockusa-roadhouse-rock-ozzy-osbourne-ozzfest-1410428/features/blogs/rdhouserockusa-roadhouse-rock-ozzy-osbourne-ozzfest-1410428/Posted by rdhouserockusa0https://www.blackvibes.com/features/blogs/rdhouserockusa-roadhouse-rock-ozzy-osbourne-ozzfest-1410428/#commentsTue, 18 Aug 2026 14:47 GMTOzzFest will return in 2027, according to an announcement on the festival's official Instagram page. The rock and metal festival will take place at Villa Park in Birmingham. Event dates and a lineup have not been released.Villa Park, a 42,000-seat stadium, hosted Black Sabbath and Ozzy Osbourne's farewell concert, "Back to the Beginning," in July 2025.OzzFest was created in 1996 by Sharon Osbourne, Ozzy's wife and manager, after Lollapalooza declined to book Ozzy for a show. The festival became an annual event, touring the United States and Europe until 2008, and has occurred sporadically since then. The most recent OzzFest took place in 2018 at The Forum in Inglewood, California.OzzFest has featured artists such as Ozzy Osbourne, Black Sabbath, Foo Fighters, Tool, Deftones and Slipknot. In 2024, Yungblud launched BludFest in Milton Keynes, England, citing OzzFest and his late mentor's influence.Since Ozzy Osbourne's death in 2025, Sharon Osbourne has spoken about reviving the festival. She told Billboard earlier this year that she was in talks with Live Nation to bring OzzFest back in 2027."It was something Ozzy was very passionate about: giving young talent a stage in front of a lot of people," Sharon Osbourne said. "We really started metal festivals in this country. It was never done with the spirit of what ours was, because ours was a place for new talent. It was like summer camp for kids."The "Back to the Beginning" charity concert at Villa Park marked Ozzy Osbourne and Black Sabbath's final performance. The event included tributes from Metallica, Yungblud, Slayer and others. Villa Park, home to Aston Villa F.C., is in Birmingham's Aston area, where Ozzy grew up and co-founded Black Sabbath in 1968 with Tony Iommi, Bill Ward and Geezer Butler.389695roadhouse rock, ozzy osbourne, ozzfest, birminghamblogs/8-2026/389695-roadhouse-rock-ozzy-s.jpg2https://www.blackvibes.com/features/blogs/rdhouserockusa-roadhouse-rock-beatles-abbey-road-735368/features/blogs/rdhouserockusa-roadhouse-rock-beatles-abbey-road-735368/Posted by rdhouserockusa0https://www.blackvibes.com/features/blogs/rdhouserockusa-roadhouse-rock-beatles-abbey-road-735368/#commentsMon, 17 Aug 2026 14:13 GMTLONDON (AP) - Four actors portraying The Beatles in the upcoming biopic series "The Beatles - A Four-Film Cinematic Event" recreated the band's famous Abbey Road album cover walk over the weekend.Fan footage shared online shows Harris Dickinson as John Lennon, Paul Mescal as Paul McCartney, Joseph Quinn as George Harrison, and Barry Keoghan as Ringo Starr crossing Abbey Road in London. The group was seen walking back and forth across the street, apparently filming multiple takes.The original Beatles crossed Abbey Road outside EMI Studios on Aug. 8, 1969, for a photograph that became the cover of their 11th studio album.

She told Rolling Stone that learning to fit into the songs was one challenge, but an even bigger task was blocking out thoughts of Peart."In each song part I had to coach myself a little bit... not to fly away," Nilles said of the intense rehearsals after being hired. "That all helped not to think too much about how big that seat is and what role I'm filling in it." Her approach, she said, was to "be in the moment, be present, be focused."Nilles said it took time to understand what was expected. "I wasn't sure if I should prep every little detail, or to have the main parts down, but have some freedom here and there," she said.As she studied Peart's drumming, she realized she needed to adjust her own style. Instead of relying on stick control, she began lifting weights to build muscle for a more direct playing approach. "I have to play more out of muscle power," she said.Nilles said Peart's compositional style influenced her most. "Now, I have a little bit of Neil in me. What I learned for myself the most is the compositional part. He was brilliant in that, really. He constantly builds, and builds, and builds the drum part to a point where you think, 'What the hell is going on?'"Her confidence grew after Peart's widow, Carrie Nuttall, reached out before the first show. "I got a nice message from her, a really lovely message," Nilles said. "It was really nice to hear that she is on board and looking forward to this whole journey."As the Fifty Something tour continues, Nilles said she feels "really energized, and relieved." Asked what she told herself after her first shows, she laughed: "I made it through!"389688roadhouse rock, anika nilles, neil peart, rush, drummer, anxietyblogs/8-2026/389688-roadhouse-rock-anik-s.jpg2https://www.blackvibes.com/features/blogs/rdhouserockusa-roadhouse-rock-rush-tour-1278198/features/blogs/rdhouserockusa-roadhouse-rock-rush-tour-1278198/Posted by rdhouserockusa0https://www.blackvibes.com/features/blogs/rdhouserockusa-roadhouse-rock-rush-tour-1278198/#commentsWed, 12 Aug 2026 15:51 GMTRush frontman Geddy Lee says the band is not considering new material at this time, as he and guitarist Alex Lifeson focus on their current tour after an 11-year hiatus.Lee and Lifeson recently returned to performing, joined by drummer Anika Nilles and keyboardist Loren Gold. Both musicians said preparing for the tour was the hardest they have ever worked."We had a schedule," Lifeson told Radio Futuro in a recent interview. "We laid out what our rehearsal schedule was going to be, with an end date being in May 2026, that we had to get everything done by then.""At the beginning we thought, 'Oh, that's plenty of time. We'll get it done!' The last couple of weeks were, like, 'Oh my God, we gotta really focus on this and really put it together!'"Lee said rehearsals were especially demanding for Nilles, who replaced the late Neil Peart."She had to learn something like 43 songs in the course of a year, and those are not easy drum parts to learn," Lee said. "She would work really hard on her own, then she would come to Toronto sporadically and we would work really hard together. I think she found it much easier to work with us in person, because there's a chemistry that we have. We can reassure her, 'This part is right, this part is this long, and no, you have to play this part this way.'"Lee added, "The last month, as Alex alluded to, we played a full show 24 nights out of 27 days. We've never worked that hard in our entire lives. I'm thankful for it, because opening night, we were all a bit of a nervous wreck. And all that rehearsal paid off."Lee also tried to help Nilles and Gold adapt to the challenge. "I said, 'Look, these are complicated songs. You are going to make a mistake. It's not about the mistake - it's about how you recover from the mistake. So just play; just keep playing and don't worry.'"He said this approach helped them relax. "When you write a part, it's automatically in your DNA; you understand it inside out. But when you're coming to learn it as an outsider, you try to break it down into the laws of music, and our songs don't adhere to the laws of music."Lee said he feels grateful for the current lineup's chemistry. "I'm ecstatic that we're playing so well and that the musicians we've chosen to join us on stage have jelled the way they have. I'm not pretending when you see me smiling up there."He noted that he wants to enjoy every show. "It's a joyous moment for me, and I know there are only so many gigs left in my body, so I'm going to enjoy them while I can."Asked about the possibility of new music, Lee said, "No. We have enough to do. We're still trying to remember the old songs and play them."389651roadhouse rock, rush, tour, geddy lee, album, potentialblogs/8-2026/389651-roadhouse-rock-rush-s.jpg2https://www.blackvibes.com/features/blogs/rdhouserockusa-roadhouse-rock-rod-stewart-medical-1880118/features/blogs/rdhouserockusa-roadhouse-rock-rod-stewart-medical-1880118/Posted by rdhouserockusa0https://www.blackvibes.com/features/blogs/rdhouserockusa-roadhouse-rock-rod-stewart-medical-1880118/#commentsWed, 12 Aug 2026 15:19 GMTRod Stewart is taking a break from touring after undergoing a routine coronary stent procedure, according to a statement shared on his official Instagram account."Following further medical evaluation, Sir Rod Stewart has successfully undergone a routine coronary stent procedure," the statement read. "Doctors are pleased with his recovery, and Rod is doing very well and has returned to his normal daily activities. On the advice of his doctors, he will take the next four weeks to recuperate and regain full fitness before returning to the stage. Unfortunately, this means he will be unable to continue his current tour dates."In a separate message, Stewart said he is already feeling better and thanked his medical team."I'm already feeling better and very much on the mend," Stewart said. "I want to thank the doctors, nurses and everyone who has taken such wonderful care of me. I'm deeply disappointed to miss these shows and sorry to let my fans down, but I look forward to getting back on stage and having a good time with you all again soon."The statements did not specify how many concerts Stewart will miss. He had 15 shows scheduled through mid-September, including stops in Cleveland, Kansas City and an extended run in Las Vegas. With a four-week recovery period, it appears all these dates will be postponed or canceled. Stewart's representatives said, "Information regarding affected performances will be communicated by the respective promoters and venues."This health concern adds to a series of medical setbacks for Stewart this year. In May, the 81-year-old canceled several Las Vegas residency shows and was placed on vocal rest following a sinus infection. He also canceled a performance in San Diego due to laryngitis and another sinus infection. In June, Stewart required an oxygen tank after nearly fainting onstage in Utah. Most recently, he canceled a scheduled show in Cincinnati on Aug. 9, citing an "unforeseen but minor medical procedure that required prompt attention."389657roadhouse rock, rod stewart, medical, tour, postponedblogs/8-2026/389657-roadhouse-rock-rod--s.jpg2https://www.blackvibes.com/features/blogs/rdhouserockusa-roadhouse-rock-zz-top-frank-beard-92498/features/blogs/rdhouserockusa-roadhouse-rock-zz-top-frank-beard-92498/Posted by rdhouserockusa0https://www.blackvibes.com/features/blogs/rdhouserockusa-roadhouse-rock-zz-top-frank-beard-92498/#commentsTue, 11 Aug 2026 13:53 GMTZZ Top will continue their "The Big One" summer U.S. tour without longtime drummer Frank Beard. The band will perform with founding vocalist-guitarist Billy Gibbons and bassist Elwood Francis, who joined after co-founder Dusty Hill died in 2021.Drummer Michael Monahan is expected to fill in for Beard. A band spokesperson did not respond to requests for details about Beard's condition or the reason for his absence.The announcement follows the band's last-minute cancellation of a show at the Hollywood Bowl in Los Angeles. At the time, management cited "unforeseen personnel matters" on social media. No further explanation has been given.Gibbons addressed the cancellation, saying, "Insurmountable obstacles require canceling our Hollywood Bowl performance. Friends, fans and followers of ZZ Top are the best in the business and the band is counting on everyone to bear with us for this brief interruption."Beard, 77, has dealt with health issues in recent years. In March 2023, ZZ Top said Beard "temporarily stepped away from the current tour to attend a health issue requiring his focus." Longtime drum tech John Douglas filled in, as he did in October 2022 when Beard missed a Paris show due to an emergency appendectomy.Beard, who joined ZZ Top in 1969, returned to the group last year after recovering from foot and ankle problems. Gibbons said at the time, "We're happy that Frank is back with Elwood and yours truly, BFG. We missed him and are looking forward to turning it up and rocking out with him as has been the case for the last few hundred or so decades. His complete recovery is cause for celebration and that's just what we intend to do on an open-ended basis. Welcome back, pardner!"Beard has played on every ZZ Top album from 1971's "First Album" through 2012's "La Futura.""The Big One" tour is scheduled to stop at the Marymoor Amphitheater in Redmond, Washington, on Tuesday, Aug. 11, with later dates in Oregon, Utah, Colorado, Texas, Michigan, Indiana, Ohio, New York, Vermont, New Hampshire, Maine, Massachusetts, Pennsylvania and North Carolina. The final U.S. show is set for Oct. 9 in Port Wentworth, Georgia, before the band heads to Mexico and South America in November.389652roadhouse rock, zz top, frank beard, michael monahan, drummer, substitution, tourblogs/8-2026/389652-roadhouse-rock-zz--s.jpg2https://www.blackvibes.com/features/blogs/rdhouserockusa-roadhouse-rock-heart-ann-wilson-595498/features/blogs/rdhouserockusa-roadhouse-rock-heart-ann-wilson-595498/Posted by rdhouserockusa0https://www.blackvibes.com/features/blogs/rdhouserockusa-roadhouse-rock-heart-ann-wilson-595498/#commentsMon, 10 Aug 2026 14:18 GMTHeart will soon release its first new album in 10 years, singer-guitarist Nancy Wilson said in an interview with Gold Derby.Wilson confirmed the band has finished recording the album, a follow-up to 2016's "Beautiful Broken." She said the record features original songs written with her sister, lead singer Ann Wilson, and the group's current touring lineup."We wrote a bunch of new songs and recorded down in Nashville with the players we toured with," Wilson said. "Because we've played so many live shows, the album was pretty much recorded live. I'm really happy. It really feels like a Heart record."A release date has not been announced. Wilson said the album will be delivered by the end of August, with plans for a rollout alongside the band's world tour, a documentary, and an upcoming biopic.Wilson has suggested this could be Heart's final full-length album, calling it "a victory lap out of our legacy." She and Ann Wilson co-founded the band in 1973 and recently marked the 50th anniversary of Heart's 1975 debut.A Heart biopic is in development at Amazon Films, with a script by Carrie Brownstein of Sleater-Kinney and "Portlandia." Nancy Wilson said last year she would like sisters Elle and Dakota Fanning to play the Wilsons, but casting details have not been released.Heart, inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in 2013, is known for hits such as "Alone," "Barracuda," "Crazy on You," "Magic Man," "These Dreams" and "All I Wanna Do Is Make Love to You." Ann Wilson, 76, was treated for cancer in 2024 and also leads the band Tripsitter. Nancy Wilson, 72, is known for composing film music, including for "Almost Famous," "Jerry Maguire" and "Elizabethtown," directed by her former husband Cameron Crowe.Heart has two concerts scheduled in October, with more dates expected to be announced next year.389649roadhouse rock, heart, ann wilson, nancy wilson, new album, world tour,blogs/8-2026/389649-roadhouse-rock-hear-s.jpg2https://www.blackvibes.com/features/blogs/rdhouserockusa-roadhouse-rock-fleetwood-mac-lindsey-buckingham-76158/features/blogs/rdhouserockusa-roadhouse-rock-fleetwood-mac-lindsey-buckingham-76158/Posted by rdhouserockusa0https://www.blackvibes.com/features/blogs/rdhouserockusa-roadhouse-rock-fleetwood-mac-lindsey-buckingham-76158/#commentsMon, 10 Aug 2026 04:17 GMTLindsey Buckingham says reflecting on the past has helped him reconnect with his Fleetwood Mac bandmates, especially Stevie Nicks.Speaking to E! News at Variety's Power of Young Hollywood event in Los Angeles, Buckingham described work on an upcoming Fleetwood Mac documentary as "a very circular healing process for all of us.""We had left things in 2019, maybe as far as I was concerned, not in a very good place for all the wrong reasons," Buckingham said, referencing the rift that led to his temporary departure from the band. "No one was happy about it, and all of that has been healed and worked out."Buckingham acknowledged that his relationship with Nicks, often strained over the years, has changed. "Stevie and I are talking all the time now," he said.Apple announced nearly two years ago that it would produce a documentary about Fleetwood Mac, directed by Frank Marshall. The film will feature rare insights from surviving members. No release date has been set, but it is expected in 2027.Last year, Buckingham and Nicks re-released their 1973 album, "Buckingham Nicks," which reached No. 3 on the Top Album Sales chart in September. The collaboration followed years of tension, including Buckingham's dismissal from Fleetwood Mac in 2018. Nicks reportedly played a key role in that decision after Buckingham wanted to postpone the band's tour to focus on his solo work. The split came shortly after the pair disagreed over their appearance at the MusiCares Person of the Year gala.Buckingham later sued the band, claiming he was dismissed without cause and lost millions in earnings. The dispute was settled in December 2018.Looking ahead, Buckingham hinted at more projects with his bandmates. "Next year should be a pretty interesting year," he told E! News. "I think quite a few things will reveal themselves."389648roadhouse rock, fleetwood mac, lindsey buckingham, stevie nicksblogs/8-2026/389648-roadhouse-rock-flee-s.jpg2https://www.blackvibes.com/features/blogs/rdhouserockusa-roadhouse-rock-neil-peart-documentary-627398/features/blogs/rdhouserockusa-roadhouse-rock-neil-peart-documentary-627398/Posted by rdhouserockusa0https://www.blackvibes.com/features/blogs/rdhouserockusa-roadhouse-rock-neil-peart-documentary-627398/#commentsFri, 7 Aug 2026 14:16 GMTTORONTO - CBC will air a new documentary about late Rush drummer Neil Peart next month.The film, called "Neil Peart: No One's Disciple," explores the life and career of Peart, who retired in 2015 and died in 2020 at age 67. The documentary features interviews and jam sessions with Geddy Lee and Alex Lifeson, Rush's surviving members, along with drummers Stewart Copeland, Chad Smith and Danny Carey.Copeland, best known for his work with The Police, was a longtime friend of Peart but had never played with Lee and Lifeson before the filming. Smith of Red Hot Chili Peppers and Carey of Tool both performed with Lee and Lifeson at the Taylor Hawkins tribute concert in September 2022.CBC described Peart as someone who "blurred the lines between progressive rock, jazz, pop and heavy metal" and was "the ultimate live performer who crafted electric lyrics for the Canadian band's huge hits." The broadcaster said Peart served as an icon and mentor for many drummers.The documentary covers Peart's early struggles, rise to fame and his lasting influence on contemporary drummers. It includes discussions between Lee and Lifeson, as well as reflections from other musicians.In an archived interview featured in the film, Peart said, "I think it matters for me to play better all the time, and to play my best all the time, to keep it fresh and changing. It's kind of my responsibility.""Neil Peart: No One's Disciple" is set to air Sept. 23 on CBC.

The film follows the band's return to the stage after the 2017 death of vocalist Chester Bennington and a seven-year hiatus.The band announced Tuesday that "Unshatter" will debut in theaters worldwide starting Sept. 30. The documentary chronicles the period leading up to the release of Linkin Park's 2024 album "From Zero" and their performance in S o Paulo, Brazil.Linkin Park rose to prominence in the early 2000s, earning multiple No. 1 albums on the Billboard 200 chart and dozens of entries on the Billboard Hot 100. "Unshatter" blends behind-the-scenes footage, live performances, archival clips and new interviews with band members and fans. The film offers a close look at the band's creative process and explores their efforts to rebuild following Bennington's death.The documentary also highlights the arrival of vocalist Emily Armstrong and drummer Colin Brittain, whose addition marked the start of a new chapter for the group.Before the film's release, the band will drop "Unshatter Film Soundtrack (Live in S o Paulo)" on Sept. 25.

A live version of "Somewhere I Belong" is available now, and fans can pre-order the soundtrack.Hahn said in a statement that the film began as a project to document one concert but quickly expanded as the band's story unfolded."We kept realizing there was a story unfolding in real time as we figured out what the future of Linkin Park would look like," Hahn said.He said he aimed to show the uncertainty the band faced during its comeback, presenting the events as they happened rather than with hindsight. Hahn described the film as a tribute to the band's fans and hopes it will give longtime supporters a deeper understanding of their struggles while introducing new listeners to the group's evolution."Unshatter" will open in select theaters on Sept. 30, with additional screenings planned in more cities worldwide.389633roadhouse rock, linkin park, documentary, unshatter, september, hiatusblogs/8-2026/389633-roadhouse-rock-link-s.jpg2
