Whoever did this to Oliver Sykes, you might be doomed.

Sykes, the frontman of two-time Billboard Hot 100 hitmaking British rock band Bring Me the Horizon, suffered a mild concussion after an audience member tossed a phone onstage Monday night during the band’s concert in St. Louis.

In fan-captured footage of the incident, the offending phone can be seen striking Sykes in the head as he sang “Happy Song” from Bring Me the Horizon’s 2015 album That’s the Spirit.

“Who the f— just threw a phone at my f—ing head?” Sykes exclaims after getting hit and throwing the device back toward the crowd. In later footage, the singer can be seen feeling at his head and checking his hands, presumably for blood. While singing “Can You Feel My Heart,” Sykes pauses multiple times to continue rubbing his temples and forehead.

Following the incident, Sykes took to his Instagram Story on Tuesday (May 12) to update his fans and offer an explanation of what happened.

“Alright everyone – just wanted to let you know I’m all good,” Sykes writes. “The phone to the head definitely smarted and I ended up with a mild concussion, but the swelling’s gone down a decent amount already.”

Sykes also offered an apology to fans in the audience who witnessed how he performed after the incident.

Sykes continues: “Last night I was struggling a bit on stage afterwards because singing was putting a lot of pressure on the wound and making things feel a bit disorienting while performing, so I’m sorry on my part for what may of seemed like a half hearted performance.”

The rocker concluded by letting fans attending their Tuesday show in Kansas City that “everything should be fine for tonight’s gig.”

Days after seemingly extending an olive branch to Drake regarding not wanting to see him lose, Rick Ross appeared to take a swipe at the 6 God’s upcoming Iceman album release during an appearance on Hot 97.

Rozay stopped by Hot 97 on Tuesday (May 12) for an interview with Nessa in support of his new Renaissance of a Boss book, which saw the MMG boss vaguely detail his feud with Drake and how “nobody” fears the OVO rapper’s next album.

“People would love for me to say, ‘I hate this n—a forever.’ Nah, homie, it ain’t that. When somebody step out of line and you gotta chastise them or give them a spanking, that’s what you do,” he said. “But is it one of those things where there’s a conspiracy? Hell no. Don’t nobody fear Drake’s album release. Nobody.”

When asked by Nessa about potentially ever reconciling with Drake, Ross said that he would probably have to go through French Montana as a mediator for both parties.

“[Drake] speaks to French. French says a lot of positive things that he should maybe send French a pecan pie for … because nobody would speak on his behalf to me,” he added. “But French do and that’s what I made it clear if anything was to ever come from that it would come through French because it wouldn’t directly come to Rozay.”

Just last week, following his Verzuz Battle with French Montana, Rick Ross appeared to put an end to dissing his “Money in the Grave” collaborator during an interview on Apple Music.

“Drake, if you listening to this homie, listen to me, my n—a, shine,” he said. “I don’t want to see you lose. No real n—a want to see you lose. That ain’t what about. This culture, this game, this rap this ain’t what it’s about.”

The root of Drake and Rozay’s issues remains unclear, as their relationship soured in 2024 when Drizzy dissed Ross on “Push Up”s and the Miami native responded with his “Champagne Moments” diss track.

The duo has been a lethal combination in the past, teaming up on Billboard Hot 100 hits like “Money in the Grave,” “Lemon Pepper Freestyle,” “Gold Roses,” “Aston Martin Music” and “Stay Schemin.”

Drake will make his anticipated return with his Iceman album on Friday (May 15), which will be his first solo LP since 2023’s For All the Dogs, and we’ll see if he has any words for the “Hustlin’” rapper.

Watch Rick Ross’ full interview with Hot 97 below. Talk about Drake starts around the 10-minute mark.

It’s been a decade since thrash metal icon Anthrax released a full-length album. But this fall, the group will return with the long-awaited follow-up to 2016’s For All Kings when they drop their twelfth LP, Cursum Perficio, on Sept. 18.

The news was revealed in an Instagram post on Monday (May 11) in which the band’s members assembled for a pic, with the caption reading “It’s been more than a decade … but we’re back ☠️ 5.15.” The photo featured founding rhythm guitarist Scott Ian, singer Joey Belladonna, bassist Frank Bello, drummer Charlie Benante and lead guitarist Jon Donais.

The album’s title appears to be a reference to the Latin phrase engraved on tiles in cement at the front door of Marilyn Monroe’s house, which was widely believed to mean “my journey ends here,” though it could also mean “I will persevere.” The first single from the LP, “It’s For the Kids,” is due out on Friday (May 15); you can pre-save it here.

In an interview with Metal Hammer in 2024, drummer Benante said the band had written “13 or 14” songs for the album, describing a few of them; no official tracklist has been announced yet. “There’s a song which has the same kind of epic feel as “In The End” [from 2011’s Worship Music] and “Blood Eagle Wings” [from For All Kings],” Benante said at the time. “It revolves around the journey we’ve been on in the band. And there are three songs that don’t sound like anything we’ve done before. One called “The Edge Of Perfection” I had way before Covid, and it has just stayed with me – the melody and the chords, but also the aggression.”

The plan at the time was to record the album at Foo Fighters leader Dave Grohl’s Studio 606, which Ian said was a “bit of a Foo Fighters and Nirvana museum, but it’s awesome … It’s like being in the most rock clubhouse ever, but it’s also inspiring being surrounded by the success of somebody who has only ever done it ’cos he f–king loves to do it.”

Back in March, drummer Benante told the Everblack podcast that the upcoming album was a “very important release” for the group. “So we’re gonna, of course, make the time to fulfill doing as many shows as we possibly could in support of this record.”

After opening for Megadeth on the Canadian run of their final tour in February and March of this year, Anthrax will hit a run of European festivals and outdoor venues this summer. Check out the dates below.

Lamb of God and Trivium are heading to Australia this October for a five-city co-headline arena tour, presented by Destroy All Lines. Scottish metalcore outfit Bleed From Within will serve as special guests across all dates.

The run opens at Perth HPC on Oct. 2, followed by AEC Theatre in Adelaide on Oct. 4, John Cain Arena in Melbourne on Oct. 6, Hordern Pavilion in Sydney on Oct. 9, and Riverstage in Brisbane on Oct. 11. Artist early bird presale tickets go on sale Friday, May 15 at 9 a.m. local. Multiple presales open Tuesday, May 19, including Destroy All Lines, venue and My Ticketek early bird presales, followed by a Spotify early bird presale on Wednesday, May 20. General tickets go on sale Thursday, May 21 at 9 a.m. local via destroyalllines.com.

For Lamb of God, the tour marks their first full headline Australian run in nearly a decade. The Richmond, Virginia band — Grammy-nominated five times over — last performed for Australian crowds in 2024 as part of Knotfest Australia.

Formed in the mid-1990s, the band have built one of heavy metal’s most enduring legacies, with fan favorites including “Laid to Rest,” “Redneck,” “Walk With Me in Hell” and “Now You’ve Got Something to Die For” serving as cornerstones of the genre. Their latest studio album, Into Oblivion, arrived earlier this year.

Trivium, formed in Orlando, Florida in 1999, have spent over two decades building a reputation as one of modern metal’s most technically accomplished and restlessly creative live acts. The band’s catalog spans thrash, progressive, melodic death and groove metal, and their 2017 single “Betrayer” earned them a Grammy nomination.

They have also scored multiple top 20 debuts on the Billboard 200 and multiple No. 1 entries on the Billboard Hard Rock Albums chart. Trivium were last in Australia in 2023 for the inaugural Knotfest Australia, with their Brisbane sideshow drawing significant critical praise. Their latest release is the 2024 EP Struck Dead, following their 2021 album In the Court of the Dragon.

Glasgow’s Bleed From Within bring 20 years of metalcore to the support slot, having recently released their seventh studio album Zenith in 2025. The band have shared stages with Slipknot, Bullet for My Valentine and Megadeth throughout their career.

The Wiggles sparked a wave of online reactions after revealing during an Australian radio appearance that they aren’t particularly familiar with Oasis — even confusing the Britpop icons for The Beatles at one point.

The moment unfolded during an appearance by Anthony Field and Lucia Field — the father-daughter duo currently performing as the Blue Wiggles — on Nova 96.9’s Ricki-Lee & Tim. While participating in a game identifying famous songs, the hosts played Oasis’ 1995 hit “Wonderwall,” prompting Lucia to admit she didn’t recognize it.

“Controversially, I like Blur more … that is why I have no idea,” Lucia said, referencing Oasis’ long-running Britpop rivalry with Blur.

The comment stunned the hosts, with Tim Blackwell responding, “No! That is gonna go everywhere.”

Anthony then admitted his own knowledge of Oasis was limited, recalling a moment during a visit to Abbey Road Studios with his son.

“I bought him what I thought was a Paul McCartney and John Lennon poster and he said, ‘They’re the guys from Oasis,’” Anthony said. “I am so out of touch mate.”

Despite the confusion, Anthony did recognize the band’s signature song title, adding: “I know they had a song called ‘Wonderwall.’”

The exchange arrives during a major resurgence of interest in Oasis following the band’s blockbuster reunion tour, which has driven huge global demand and sold-out stadium dates across multiple continents. The Britpop group — led by brothers Liam Gallagher and Noel Gallagher — scored eight No. 1 albums in the U.K. and became one of the defining rock acts of the 1990s with songs including “Wonderwall,” “Don’t Look Back in Anger” and “Champagne Supernova.”

“Wonderwall” remains the band’s biggest hit in the United States, peaking at No. 8 on the Billboard Hot 100 in 1996 while topping the Alternative Airplay chart.

The Wiggles, meanwhile, continue to expand well beyond children’s entertainment, recently collaborating with artists across pop, country and rock while building a strong following among adult audiences through festival appearances and viral crossover moments.

The group appeared on the Nova program to promote their new song “Sparkle.”

It’s a new era for aespa, and the band wants to you “feel somethin’.”

Seoul-based K-pop girl group aespa released “WDA (Whole Different Animal),” the first song from their upcoming second studio album LEMONADE, on Monday (May 11). The new track features G-DRAGON, the band leader of fellow K-pop hitmakers BIGBANG.

“WDA (Whole Different Animal)” is bass and synth-heavy dance track with clear hip-hop influences. The song features lyrics in English and Korean. G-DRAGON lends his rap skills to the song’s third verse before the track closes out with one more refrain of “She a whole different animal” and “Give me all smoke, gun powder, powder.”

Alongside the single release, aespa has also dropped a music video for the track. The visual for “WDA (Whole Different Animal)” brings viewers into a world where the line between reality and digital is blurred. In the eerie video, replicas of aespa’s four members appear and continuously multiply, distorting ideas of what is real and what is fake. Ultimately, the girl group is able to break through the chaos and reclaim their identities.

Winners of the 2025 Billboard Women in Music award for Group of the Year, aespa announced the release of its forthcoming album LEMONADE in April. The LP is the follow-up to the group’s 2024 Billboard 200 No. 8 EP Whiplash and will drop on May 29. The album release will be followed by the girl group’s fourth world tour SYNK: COMPLæXITY, which begins not long after the conclusion of its SYNK : aeXIS LINE tour last month. SYNK: COMPLæXITY will kick off on August 7 with two nights in Seoul before making its way across a few more stops in Asia, traversing across North America and concluding with shows across Europe.

Fans can pre-order aespa’s LEMONADE here and watch the music video for “WDA (Whole Different Animal)” below.

Britney Spears made her first public statement since a March DUI arrest resulted in a stay in a rehab facility. Though she did not specifically reference the case or her time in treatment, Spears, 44, was back on Instagram on Saturday (May 10) with a post alluding to recent headlines.

It opened with a story about going to a pet store with her kids to look at a baby snake — with a shot of a beautiful albino ball python wrapped around someone’s hand — before pivoting into a more personal tone. “Snakes are symbolic of good health, higher consciousness, and pure luck … I’m so damn thankful to my friends and so many new beautiful people I have met through my spiritual journey,” Spears said without going into detail about her journey.

“all a blessing in disguise,” she continued. “I still have to learn how to be kind to myself and the way I speak to myself… It’s a never ending journey and sometimes I just stop, look up and say wow God I think that was you and smile on!!!!”

TMZ reported last week that Spears recently left a rehab facility in Maine after spending around three weeks there following a probation sentence stemming from her plea deal in the March 4 DUI arrest Ventura County, Calif.

Spears got a year-long probation sentence on May 4 after pleading guilty through her attorney to a misdemeanor charge known as “wet reckless,” which is a downgrade from the more severe count of driving under the influence of drugs and alcohol due to her low blood alcohol level and lack of a prior DUI history. According to the Associated Press, a prosecutor stated during the hearing that Spears had taken “full responsibility” for the incident. During her year of probation, Spears will have to participate in a DUI education program and continue regular therapy and psychiatry; Spears did not appear in court for the hearing.

Spears was arrested on March 4 after the California Highway Patrol found her driving “erratically at a high rate of speed on southbound US-101.” At the time, her reps called the arrest an “unfortunate incident that is completely inexcusable,” adding that “Britney is going to take the right steps and comply with the law and hopefully this can be the first step in long overdue change that needs to occur in Britney’s life.”

The next month, the singer voluntarily checked herself into a treatment facility.

The Beatles have got back to where they once belonged. In 2027, the world’s first official fan experience is set to open at London’s Savile Row, home to the band’s famous 1969 rooftop concert.

The Fab Four’s Apple Corps Ltd has announced that they will be returning to 3 Savile Row in the heart of London’s Mayfair district for a new fan experience and museum.

The seven floors of the Georgian townhouse will include “never-seen-before material from Apple Corps’ extensive archives, rotating exhibitions, fan store, and the recreation of the original studio where Let it Be (1970) was recorded,” according to a press release.

While a number of unofficial experiences exist in London, Liverpool and other key locations around the globe (including Hamburg, Germany), this is the first official experience managed by the band. The experience will open in 2027, with fans able to register for upcoming announcements here.

Since its inception, Apple Corps Ltd. has managed the group’s business affairs and was originally based on Savile Row. In 1969, the group played their final-ever concert on the rooftop of the building, as captured in the Let It Be film and revisited in Peter Jackson epic Get Back documentary. Apple Corps Ltd. is currently headquartered out of South Kensington, London. 

Speaking of the opening of 3 Savile Row, Apple Corps’ chief executive Tom Greene said: “We’re thrilled to bring Apple Corps back to its spiritual home and give The Beatles fans something truly special. Every single day, fans are taking pictures of the outside of 3 Savile Row – but next year they can go in and explore all seven floors of the iconic building, including the rooftop where even the railings remain the same from that famous day in 1969.”

Paul McCartney added: “It was such a trip to get back to 3 Savile Row recently and have a look around. There are so many special memories within the walls, not to mention the rooftop. The team have put together some really impressive plans and I’m excited for people to see it when it’s ready.” Ringo Starr said, “Wow, it’s like coming home.”

In April, Apple Corps Ltd. announced a raft of new hires and promotions under the new leadership of Greene, who joined in 2025. In the coming years there’s set to be more Beatles action with the release of four films directed by Sam Mendes, with Paul Mescal (Paul McCartney), Harris Dickinson (John Lennon), Joseph Quinn (George Harrison) and Barry Keoghan (Ringo Starr) set to play the leading roles.

Singer Keli Holiday says he was denied re-entry into the United States during his North American tour, forcing him to cancel a planned New York City performance and return home early.

The Australian artist — the solo project of Adam Hyde from Peking Duk — shared the news with fans over the weekend after being detained at the U.S.-Canada border following shows in Toronto.

“Unfortunately I’m not going to make it to tonight’s show at Baby’s All Right in NYC,” Holiday wrote on Instagram. “I have spent all day detained at the Canadian border and denied entry back into the U.S. despite having the proper visa documentation in place.”

“I’m still trying to get clarity on the situation myself,” he added.

Holiday had been scheduled to play a short run of North American dates between May 1 and May 7, with the Brooklyn show set to close out the tour. A representative later confirmed he had since returned to Australia ahead of upcoming dates across New South Wales and Victoria.

The incident comes at a time of growing concern around U.S. border processing and visa scrutiny for international travelers and touring artists. Proposed changes tied to the Electronic System for Travel Authorization (ESTA) program have sparked discussion in Australia and New Zealand over stricter entry requirements and expanded screening measures.

Hyde launched Keli Holiday in 2021 as a more personal and indie-leaning counterpart to Peking Duk, the chart-successful electronic act he formed with Reuben Styles. Peking Duk broke through with hits including “High” featuring Nicole Millar, which reached the top five on the ARIA Singles Chart and helped establish the duo as one of Australia’s biggest electronic acts of the 2010s.

As previously reported, Holiday is the highest-flying homegrown artist on the latest ARIA Albums Chart with Capital Fiction, his second collection, which opens its account at No. 3. As a member of Peking Duk, he peaked at No. 12 with 2018’s Reprisal.

Capital Fiction houses the cut “Dancing2,” which recounts the story of how Hyde met his partner and love of his life, Sydney media personality Abbie Chatfield. The single came in at No. 2 on triple j’s Hottest 100 countdown for 2025, won for best video at the last year’s ARIA Awards, and Holiday performed it at the top of the recording industry’s annual ceremony.

Under the Keli Holiday name, Hyde has moved toward a moodier mix of indie-pop, dance and alternative music, releasing tracks including “Dancing2” while building a dedicated following through club shows and festival appearances.

Fans flooded Holiday’s comments with support after the canceled New York show was announced, with many urging him to reschedule the date once the visa issue is resolved.

When NBA YoungBoy announced he was dropping out of his headlining slot at Rolling Loud Orlando on Thursday (May 7), festival organizers were left scrambling. Artists like Rod Wave and YEAT were speculated to be floated, but RL ultimately settled on Ken Carson to close out Sunday night (May 10).

On its face, the decision made sense with fellow Opium titans Destroy Lonely and Playboi Carti performing on Saturday (May 9), so much of the label’s fanbase was already going to be on festival grounds for the weekend.

Carson, whose More Chaos topped the Billboard 200 last year, continued his elevation by taking advantage of the real estate using his newfound headlining Rolling Loud set to kick-start The Xperiment era.

The Atlanta native hit the smoky stage around 9 p.m. ET and premiered an unreleased track, which is expected to appear on his upcoming LP, that had the crowd going berserk and chanting along to the rage-filled production.

The 26-year-old kept the energy up, jumping around his catalog for the first 13 songs or so, which included the anticipated unreleased snippet “Grow Apart,” but understood the assignment as a headliner looking to make a statement to hip-hop and invite other fans who may not be as familiar with his discography.

Enter some star-studded guests, the first being Lil Tecca. The “Dark Thoughts” rapper was a seamless fit and was more than worthy of having his own set at the main stage this year, coming off a major 2025. The duo joined forces for “Tic Tac Toe” and “500lbs.”

Fellow Opium runningmate Destroy Lonely was next up in the lineup, as they connected for “The Acronym” and “Singapore,” the latter of which was without their mentor Playboi Carti. “That’s my song, too,” he quipped from backstage while watching his pupils.

Young Thug was all over Rolling Loud throughout the weekend and he didn’t even have his own set. Billboard spotted Thug enjoying some Popeyes near the festival earlier in the weekend. He popped out once again for Ken Carson, while they performed his UY SCUTI standout “Yuck” and then Thugger took the solo spotlight to revv up the crowd for his “Digits” classic.

Some might say they save the best for last, and Playboi Carti batted clean-up in the all-star guest line-up. He traded his YSL suit look for a 2Pac t-shirt, leather pants, and a pair of crispy white high-top Air Force Ones.

The 00 connection premiered a pair of collaborations, including the bouncy “ARP,” which finds Carti utilizing his deep voice flow, while “Cover My Ears” leans into the Whole Lotta Red-esque production that’s been a mainstay for the rock stars.

Carson teased mere seconds-long snippets of unreleased grails “Boil” and “Stars” before finishing off his potent set with another new song, which is heavily influenced by 2hollis’ “Girl.” One poignant bar found KC getting vulnerable about critics boxing him into one genre. “No matter what I make, they gon’ call it rage,” he raps.

As the dust settled on another successful Rolling Loud weekend, one fan emerged from the moshpit warfare, lending his stamp of approval. “That was the greatest set of my life,” he said to a friend while coming down from a euphoric high.

Ken Carson notched his first No. 1 album last year and his recent tour stops across the globe have looked bonkers. If he plays his cards right heading into The Xperiment, rap could have another niche superstar on its hands that the mainstream won’t be able to ignore.
