Gladys Knight is 82 years old, and she has been performing since she was in elementary school. Therefore, she deserves some time to enjoy her life. And she announced that she will be taking it.
After much soul searching I’ve decided that I will be easing into fewer performances while focusing on transitioning into the next stage of my career and life moving forward.
I’ll be spending more time on projects with my husband and visiting with my grandbabies and am looking forward to this new era.
I’d like to take a moment, in advance, to thank all my fans over this last three quarters of a century for making a little girl’s dream come true and supporting her every step of the way. I am immensely grateful to all of you and send my eternal love back to you.
I hope to see your smiling faces out and about and on the road. God bless all of you and hope to see you soon.
The announcement is not a surprise because people have been worried about her during her latest performances. After almost 80 years of giving it her all for audiences, it is time for her to be in the audience and enjoy all that she missed out on while she was on the road.
Kacey Musgraves had a surprise for her Chicago audience on Friday. She performed her hit Rhinestoned on an oversized disco balls chair that rose above the stage.
In discussions, it sounded like a good idea. However, I think on paper, they should have realized their mistake.
Because I know I am not the only one who thinks it looks like she is sitting on a cock between two testicles.
You know what? I think after this, we should rename the Reverse Cowgirl, Rhinestoned! Who is with me? I like the sound of that better!
Simple Plan’s most famous song is I’m Just a Kid. But what happens when one of them celebrates a birthday?
If they are Jeff Stinco, they realize at 48 they are no longer 18. That and they are NOT still alone, and the world is NOT having more fun than me tonight.
Therefore, continue being a kid because age is only a number!
Ice Spice is wearing some expensive ice, as in a tongue ring that costs $50,000. According to Benny the Jeweler, the diamond in the 18k gold tongue ring is so expensive because it is the largest in the world.
It is a mouthful. Because of that, I would not want to wear it. It has to be uncomfortable. Plus, I would be afraid I would swallow it. Then it would go from the most expensive tongue ring to the most expensive shit.
In 1978, Soft Cell was born to parents Marc Almond and Dave Ball. However, in October 2025, Ball lost his battle with poor health at the age of 66.
With that, the duo became a solo act, and Almond has been touring the world ever since, including a performance at the Hollywood Bowl last week. It looked like the show was going on. But it is not. Almond announced that the band is releasing their final album, Danceteria.
“The ‘Danceteria’ album reflects what we were going through as Brits in New York,” concludes Marc. “We arrived there in 1981 with a bunch of songs that were initially written about London and Leeds. They were songs that reflected the greyness and repression of Margaret Thatcher’s Britain. But once we hit New York, the same songs became infused with a fresh, streetwise sensibility. We were in the clubs, where ecstasy was available for the first time, and we felt privileged to be part of that secret. Our music took on a hybrid quality. We were quintessentially British, but we felt that we were also an honorary American band. So it feels right that the last Soft Cell album is invested in those myths and stories. It brings everything full circle for us, and it’s a fitting tribute to Dave.”
Even though it is being released 11 months after Ball’s death, the singer said his late bandmate had heard the finished record two days before he passed and “knew it was a great piece of work.”
Their sixth and final album will be released on September 25th.
