HARDY discussed his pre-fame job as a gravedigger in Philadelphia, Mississippi during a new episode of State Farm's Neighborhood Beats with host Jimmy Fallon. The 35-year-old country star said that being a gravedigger "was really fun," while adding that "other than this job, it was the most fun I've ever had as a worker." The singer, born Michael Wilson Hardy, explained that the position combined cemetery duties with animal control in their small town, noting "in the summer, when it would get really hot and all of the grass would die, we'd just chase stray dogs around." HARDY calls himself "the hillbilly from the real Philly," and he began his Nashville music career by co-writing with Florida Georgia Line. His 2020 breakout solo hit, "One Beer," reached No. 1 on US Country Airplay and earned 4x-platinum certification. He and wife Caleigh welcomed their daughter Rosie in March 2023. 

Dave Grohl has publicly addressed Foo Fighters' split from drummer Josh Freese for the first time, telling Zane Lowe in a new interview that the decision "didn't happen overnight." Freese joined the band in May 2023 after their longtime drummer Taylor Hawkins died in March 2022, but was let go in May 2025 with "no reason given," according to Josh's Instagram post at the time. Grohl explained that "continuing on after Taylor was really complicated, not just for us, but for any drummer that was going to come in to fill his shoes." After touring with Freese for about a year and a half, the band took a break and spent six to seven months discussing the new direction they wanted to go in the future. "We called, and we told him, as a band - all of us called, it wasn't just me," Grohl said, adding they expressed gratitude for their two-year collaboration while telling him "we're going to move on and find another drummer." Ilan Rubin has since officially been named Foo Fighters new drummer, and the band will release their 12th studio album, Your Favorite Toy, on April 24.

Kid Rock is defendeding his Freedom 250 Tour pricing structure after media reports surfaced about the musician charging $5,000 for front-row tickets. Rock wrote on X on Friday (Feb. 20): "The fake liberal media says I'm charging $5,000 for front-row tickets. They know damn well that's not the full story. I WILL pray for them but I know that sooner or later God will cut 'em down." Rock went on to confirm the $5,000 cost, but he explained only 20 "first class" seats exist per show across five rows, with those tickets priced from $1,000 to $5,000. Early sales show mixed results, with Dallas selling some premium seats but no $5,000 tickets as of Friday. Rock added, "Instead of reporting facts or that lawn seats are only 50 bucks or how we are cutting out the scalpers, they twist it for headlines/clicks and to attack me." The tour opens May 1 in Dallas

KATSEYE member Manon Bannerman is temporarily stepping away from group activities in order "to focus on her health and wellbeing," according to a Weverse announcement. The statement disclosed that they made this decision after "open and thoughtful conversations together" and that Hybe and Geffen Records "fully support this decision." The remaining five members of KATSEYE will "continue scheduled activities during this time," with the group sharing that "we look forward to being together again when the time is right." The news follows KATSEYE's recent Grammy nominations for Best New Artist and Best Pop Duo/Group Performance. Previously, the global girl group revealed that they hired a therapist to handle the pressures of stardom and online harassment. Bannerman told the BBC last fall that the death threats were "very terrorizing on the mind." KATSEYE's statement said the group "remains committed to showing up for one another and for the fans who mean everything to us.

About RAVENJOHN GALLAGHER: Lead Vocals, BassMIKE HELLER: DrumsMARK GALLAGHER: Guitar, Vocals
RAVEN are that rare thing in music,  true originals - cut these guys with a razor and they will BLEED true heavy metal - a more intense live band does not exist on this planet!
Hailing from Newcastle Upon Tyne in North East England back in 1974 (yes - 46 YEARS ago!!!) the brothers Gallagher cut their teeth playing the pubs & clubs until solidifying their line up in 1980 with drummer Rob Hunter.The trio went on to release three of the most influential metal albums of the NWOBHM (New Wave of British Heavy Metal) inspiring every band of that era and beyond.  Basically,  without Raven you just would not have thrash/speed metal.... after all, the band did give Metallica & Anthrax their first tours!
Following a tumultuous move to the USA, deals with Atlantic Records, indentured servitude and commercialism,  Rob left the band in 1987 to be replaced by drummer extraordinaire Joe Hasselvander, who had made his name in cult doom band Pentagram, Savoy Brown and his own solo projects, adding a new dimension to the band.
In 2001,  guitarist Mark Gallagher was involved in a near fatal accident - but fought his way back from the brink and the band proved they were stronger than ever!  This renewed spirit and attitude was reflected in the title of their 2010 album "WALK THROUGH FIRE" and in the career overview DVD "ROCK UNTIL YOU DROP".
2014 found the band opening for METALLICA (the band that RAVEN took on their first tour back in 1983) in Sao Paulo in front of 70,000 fans, and completing their finest album to date - ExtermiNation" which was released to universal acclaim from fans & critics alike in 2015!
After a serious heart attack in May 2017 Joe Hasselvander had to unfortunately bow out from the band.
While filling in on a number of shows, drumming phenomenon Mike Heller (Fear Factory, Malignancy) joined forces with the brothers Gallagher to lay waste to stages throughout the latter half of 2017...The chemistry between the three was undeniable - the addition of his prodigious technique & musicality instantly took the band up to a new level.
Following an insane 3 year blur of world touring the next RAVEN opus, "METAL CITY" was released into a pandemic scourged marketplace in September 2020, garnering both critical & popular acclaim as a game changing release for the band songs like " Top of the mountain " and the title track highlighted the deadly combination of the bands increasingly iconic songwriting along with Mike Heller's nuclear propelled percussion excursions.During the next few years the band delivered the metal goods across the globe .. themed tours covering their "WIPED OUT" and " ALL FOR ONE" albums were a big success... the band were called on by old tour mates Metallica to help celebrate the life & legacy of Jon & Marsha Zazula (who managed both bands back in the early 80's) at a tribute concert at the Hard Rock in Ft Lauderdale FL in November 2022.
Following a change of record label from SPV to Silver Lining in 2023; the band released their most searing album yet, the aptly titled " ALL HELL'S BREAKING LOOSE" receiving universal acclaim from critics and fans alike. The following tour rolled into 2024, celebrating the band's 50th anniversary as they toured across the globe from the UK to Europe, North America to South America, Singapore, Australia and Japan!
2025 saw the release of the 8 song EP " CAN'T TAKE AWAY THE FIRE" raising the bar on metal mayhem one more time as a gift to the fans while the band work on preparing their next magnum opus

Today, after more than two decades of silence, VON GROOVE proudly announces their new album 'Born To Rock,' set for release on May 15, 2026 via Frontiers Music Srl. To celebrate the announcement, the band also shares the title track alongside an official music video,.
On the band's return, guitarist Mladen expresses:
"It's been a long time since the three of us made music together, but from the very first chord, the chemistry was undeniable. We poured our heart and soul into these 11 tracks and can't wait to share them with our fans." He continues, "'Born To Rock' celebrates our life long love of making and performing music. When rock n roll gets in your soul it never leaves. It's a life long addiction."

VON GROOVE triumphantly returns with a jaw-dropping new album that reunites the classic original lineup: Mladen on guitars, Michael Shotton on drums and vocals, and Matthew Gerrard on bass. This isn't just a comeback, it's a resurrection! Marking their first studio release since 2001, the album feels like it was born in the same fire as their legendary 1992 debut. The opening title-track, "Born To Rock," explodes with the same urgency and swagger as their iconic "Once Is Not Enough" - even quoting it with a subtle nod that will send chills down the spine of longtime fans. True to their roots, VON GROOVE delivers a masterclass in melodic hard rock, with blazing guitars, soaring vocals, and airtight arrangements. The production is punchy and alive, but the soul of the record is pure 90s AOR glory. Even more exciting? VON GROOVE will be returning to the stage in 2026, bringing their renewed fire and timeless sound back to live audiences for the first time in years

Jelly Roll will become an official Grand Ole Opry member on March 10, inducted by his friend and collaborator Lainey Wilson.
