Rumors have swirled about a follow-up to the band's popular 2025 reunion tour

Will Oasis hit the road next summer? That is potentially in the cards according to Noel Gallagher.

The musician added to the rumors that there is a 2027 Oasis tour in the works during an appearance on talkSPORT’s Drive. When host Andy Goldstein asked about the tour rumors, Gallagher first downplayed the possibility, joking, “It’s Liam, isn’t it? He’s not into it. He’s not into Oasis anymore.”

Goldstein replied that he heard Gallagher’s brother and bandmate recently quit social media. “Well, then there must be something happening,” Gallagher responded. “Well, let’s put it this way: there’s no football tournament on next year, so we’ve got to do something in the summer, right?”

Oasis have not officially confirmed a return to the road. However, there have been numerous reports that the band is planning another big tour, which could include a return to U.K. venue Knebworth. In 1996, Oasis famously played there to 250,000 people across two nights and some have speculated they will attempt to recapture the magic.

Last month, Liam responded to reports that Oasis would headline Glastonbury in 2027. “It’s not happening so all you croc wearing flag waving shit cunts can calm the fuck down,” he told fans on social media.

Oasis spent much of 2025 on the road performing their highly-anticipated reunion tour. Throughout the run, the musicians dropped a few hints that they were planning to return. In September, when the band wrapped their London shows, Gallagher issued a slew of thank yous, ending with one for the fans. “Most of all, I wanna thank you lot for keeping the faith and putting this band back on the map,” he said, adding a few moments later: “See you next year!”

Oasis will release a new documentary, Don’t Look Back in Anger, in IMAX theaters on Sept. 11 before the film arrives on Hulu and Disney+ later this year. It was created by Peaky Blinders’ Steven Knight and directed by Dylan Southern and Will Lovelace.

“The Oasis world tour united generations, cultures and countries and spoke to a broken world about reconciliation,” Knight said in a statement. “Don’t Look Back In Anger is not only your ticket to the show – it’s a backstage pass and a seat at the table when Liam and Noel sit down together for the first time in 15 years and tell it how it is and how it was.”

It's an eventful week for Miley, as the popstar is now known. After losing her godmother, Dolly Parton, last week, the artist is now announcing the start of a new era.

Notably, she has dropped the surname Cyrus from her artist name. Though no formal announcement was made regarding the name change, many fans pointed over the past few days that 'Cyrus' was disappearing from her handles on social media. A press release from Warner also refers to Miley mononymously.

Along with the news of the name change, Miley is announcing that her tenth studio album, Bass Persuades, will come out on September 18. ''Music takes hold of us. We feel it, sing it, sometimes dance to it, let it out and carry on. It is powerful, vulnerable, sweet and strong. Heart full, heartache, every part of life in between. That’s what the title means to me,'' she shared on Instagram.

She will also return to the stage, taking over the famous Hollywood Bowl, on October 16 and 18, with Model/Actriz on opening duty,.

Céline Dion is heading back to the stage and anticipation is building. The Québec superstar arrived in Paris last week ahead of the first of 16 concerts at Paris La Défense Arena, beginning September 12. Ten additional performances are scheduled for May 2027, marking Dion’s first full concert run since stepping away from the stage amid her battle with stiff-person syndrome.

For Élisabeth Reynaud, the biographer behind the new book Céline Dion by Élisabeth Reynaud, there is little doubt about what is driving the singer as she prepares for her comeback. “She is in a state of total determination,” Reynaud told AFP.

This return to the stage comes with an intense rehearsal regimen, Reynaud says. Dion recently told fans outside her Paris hotel that she was conserving her energy to give them her best onstage, adding that she would not be spotted out and about in Paris in the coming weeks. For the singer, sightseeing can come later; the show comes first.

That work ethic has been central to Dion’s ascent from the Montréal suburb of Charlemagne to global superstardom. Reynaud describes her career as the product of extraordinary discipline rather than some effortless fairy tale.

Dion’s return comes with an obvious physical challenge, too. Stiff-person syndrome can cause muscle rigidity and spasms, forcing her to carefully manage her health while preparing for the demands of performing. She has continued with physical training and therapy as she works toward the concerts. Her last full concert was in March 2020. Since then, her only major live appearance came at the 2024 Paris Olympics, where she delivered a show-stopping rendition of Édith Piaf’s “Hymne à l’amour” from the Eiffel Tower.

Lionel Richie performs performing in Detroit in July 2026.

Lionel Richie is OK after being hospitalized in St. Louis over the weekend, a source close to the singer’s ongoing tour tells Rolling Stone.

On Saturday, Aug. 29, Richie performed at the Muny in St. Louis. Videos from the concert appear to show him in good form, though during set closer “All Night Long,” he did ask his team to bring him a stool so he could sit during the performance.

The news of Richie’s hospitalization comes just a few months after he ended a concert in St. Paul, Minnesota early after falling ill onstage. About 55 minutes into the performance, Richie, 77, announced an unexpected intermission. He told the crowd that he’d been feeling dizzy, which was why he had to sit down during his performance of “Dancing on the Ceiling.”

“When you’re feeling dizzy, sit your ass down,” Richie said (per The Minnesota Star Tribune).

Around 40 minutes after Richie called for the intermission, his saxophonist, Dino Soldo, told the audience that Richie was “not feeling well” and that he would not be able to continue the show.

After ending the St. Paul gig early, Richie announced that he would postpone his next two gigs, which were part of an ongoing tour with Earth, Wind, and Fire. He returned to the stage on June 30, and was able to complete the rest of the tour without any other problems. (One more gig on the run was postponed, but that was after a member of Earth, Wind, and Fire suffered a medical emergency before a show in San Francisco.)

Richie’s show in St. Louis over the weekend was his first since his tour with Earth, Wind, and Fire ended. The two acts are set to reunite in September and early October to play their rescheduled shows in San Francisco, Chicago, and Columbus. Richie will then head to Las Vegas for a residency with dates in October and November.

Duane "Keffe D" Davis at his trial in Las Vegas, Nevada, on August 27, 2026.

The former Compton gang leader charged with orchestrating the 1996 drive-by shooting of hip-hop legend Tupac Shakur was convicted of first-degree murder by a Las Vegas jury on Monday, marking a long-awaited reckoning in one of the most notorious unsolved killings in music history.

Jurors needed only about three hours to return their verdict against Duane “Keffe D” Davis in the nearly 30-year-old killing. Davis, who did not testify, is set to be sentenced on October 13 and faces up to life in prison without the possibility of parole. Shortly after hearing the verdict, Shakur’s sister, Sekyiwa, embraced a man seated behind her and wiped her eyes with a tissue, according to a live feed of the proceeding from The Associated Press.

Before court adjourned, Davis raised his hand and told the court he wanted his electronics back and planned to appeal. The judge said any appeal “happens after sentencing,” and she ordered him held without bail.

Davis, 63, had pleaded not guilty to one count of murder with use of a deadly weapon. His defense lawyer, Michael Sanft, argued the state’s case was built on “lies” that Davis first told prosecutors to avoid prison on narcotics charges and later repeated in interviews and in his memoir, Compton Street Legend, for profit. Davis was arrested in September 2023 and remained in custody through the trial.

In his closing argument, Clark County Chief Deputy District Attorney Binu Palal accused Davis of organizing the Sept. 7, 1996, shooting as “gang retaliation” for a beating that took place about two hours earlier inside the MGM Grand casino. He said Shakur, Death Row Records co-founder Marion “Suge” Knight, and others attacked Davis’ nephew, Orlando Anderson, after their Death Row associate Trevon Lane spotted Anderson in the casino following a Mike Tyson fight.

During the trial, jurors heard the confrontation grew out of an earlier gang dispute involving Davis’ and Anderson’s South Side Compton Crips and the rival Mob Piru Bloods, whose members included Lane and others associated with Death Row. They heard Lane had a run-in with Anderson and other Crips at a mall near Compton about two months before Shakur’s shooting, and that someone allegedly stole a chain bearing a Death Row medallion. Admitted Crips member Denvonta Lee testified under a court order and told jurors he was there when the mall brawl “broke out” and the chain “came off” Lane’s neck.

Palal said the alleged chain theft was viewed as “an ultimate sign of disrespect,” demanding retribution and culminating in the MGM Grand beating of Anderson captured on surveillance video.

The centerpiece of the prosecution’s case was the “secret” recorded interview Davis gave to police in 2008 in which he described his role in the shooting in extraordinary detail. Prosecutors characterized the account as a confession and said the fact that Davis was trying to gain leverage in an unrelated narcotics case didn’t diminish its significance.

In his dueling closing argument, Sanft disputed that characterization, saying Davis had fabricated the account and that his retellings over the years often conflicted with one another and, at times, with the evidence. He pointed, for example, to a passage in Davis’s book claiming that a Chrysler Sebring filled with women followed his Cadillac after the shooting and was struck by gunfire that shattered a window. A woman from the Sebring testified during the trial that the car was never hit and no glass was shattered.

“The state wants you to believe this was a confession,” Sanft said of his client’s account in the 2008 interview. “We’re presuming all this stuff. … We can’t put Orlando in the car. We can’t even put Davis in Las Vegas.”

In the state’s final rebuttal before jurors began deliberating Monday afternoon, Clark County Chief Deputy District Attorney Marc DiGiacomo dismissed Sanft’s argument that inconsistencies in Davis’ accounts undermined the prosecution’s case.

“Do we honestly think a guy who was dumb enough to write a book could keep this story straight this many times?” DiGiacomo asked. He described Davis’s 2008 account as highly detailed and corroborated by other evidence.

DiGiacomo argued the 2008 proffer agreement was beyond the control of Las Vegas authorities, and Davis benefited from it for years. He said Davis later forfeited its protections by publicly repeating details because he was angry Los Angeles police detective Greg Kading wrote his own book about the case. Davis, he argued, couldn’t resist speaking up. The long delay before Davis was charged, DiGiacomo said, did not mean Las Vegas investigators doubted his culpability.

“We had to eat crow and allow a murderer to live in Henderson and not charge him because of the various things that happened in this case,” DiGiacomo said. He closed by pointing to a social media clip in which Davis boasted that he had “beat the streets,” “beat the Feds,” and “beat cancer.”

“And now he’s trying to beat 12 of you,” DiGiacomo told the jury. “That’s what’s going on here.”

Former Los Angeles police Detective Daryn Dupree testified on the third day of the trial, telling jurors Davis first volunteered his involvement in Shakur’s killing while investigators were questioning him about the 1997 slaying of Christopher Wallace, the rapper known as the Notorious B.I.G., or Biggie Smalls. Dupree said he and Kading confronted Davis at his home and told him they had evidence linking him to cocaine and PCP trafficking. They suggested Davis could help himself by cooperating.

Dupree said Davis denied any involvement in the Biggie shooting but then shocked them with the words, “We did the other one.” Davis later sat down for the recorded proffer interview with his lawyer.

“Don’t bullshit me, and I won’t bullshit y’all,” Davis said at the start of the Dec. 18, 2008, interview, which was played for jurors. Det. Kading assured him during the interview, “Nothing you say can be used against you.”

Davis appeared skeptical but went on to say he was riding in the front passenger seat of the white Cadillac, with Anderson seated behind him, fellow South Side Compton Crips member DeAndre “Dre” Smith behind the driver, and Terrence “Bubble Up” Brown at the wheel. (All three of the other passengers are now dead.)

According to Davis’ account, the Cadillac pulled alongside a BMW driven by Knight, with Shakur in the passenger seat, near the intersection of Flamingo Road and Koval Lane just off the Las Vegas Strip. Davis said he did not have a clear shot, so he passed a loaded .40-caliber Glock to the back seat. Smith hesitated, Davis said, and Anderson grabbed the weapon and opened fire.

“He leaned over on the window. He rolled down the window, popped ’em,” Davis said on the recording. “If they drove on my side, I would have popped ’em.”

Davis said Knight looked directly at him as the gunfire erupted. Knight was wounded but survived the attack, while Shakur was struck multiple times and died six days later at age 25.

“We did what we had to do,” Davis said of the shooting. He told investigators that after fleeing, the group returned to a hotel to “smoke weed and drink.”

Sanft argued his client’s account was pure fiction, and that investigators failed to quickly and vigorously corroborate it for a reason. “It’s because they knew he was full of crap,” Sanft told jurors during his opening statement.

Prosecutors countered that Davis repeatedly told versions of the same story over and over, growing bolder by the year. They argued that by publicly repeating his claims from the proffer, Davis waived his protections against prosecution.

Dupree said he believed Davis was telling the truth during the 2008 proffer, in part because Davis implicated his own nephew. “I didn’t think Mr. Davis was lying because he put the gun in his nephew’s hand,” Dupree testified.

Anderson, who long had been considered a suspect in Shakur’s killing, denied involvement before his death in an unrelated Compton shooting in 1998 at age 23.

At Davis’ trial other witnesses described the early investigation and the atmosphere surrounding the shooting. Former Las Vegas police officer Garry Dale testified that he rode in the ambulance with the wounded Shakur and repeatedly asked him to identify his attacker. Dale said Shakur refused.

“No, we’ll take care of it,” Dale recalled the rapper saying.

Reggie Wright Jr., Knight’s testified about the escalating East Coast-West Coast rap industry war that pitted Knight’s label in California against Bad Boy Records and its CEO Sean Combs in New York. He recalled seeing Davis with members of Sean “Puffy” Combs’ Bad Boy Records entourage at the 1996 Soul Train Awards in Los Angeles, where a member of the Bad Boy entourage allegedly brandished a gun.

Jurors heard testimony that police tried to corroborate Davis’ claim that Combs had offered money for Knight’s killing. Dupree told them Davis became a confidential informant in 2009 and traveled with investigators to New York in an effort to reconnect with Eric “Zip” Martin, the man Davis identified as his link to Combs.

Combs supposedly had given money to Zip Martin to give to Mr. Davis for payment for the Tupac murder, Dupree testified. The effort failed when Martin, who was in poor health, did not meet with Davis as investigators had hoped.

Combs, now serving a 50-month prison term for his 2025 conviction on two counts of transportation to engage in prostitution, has vehemently denied any involvement in Shakur’s death

Drake performing at Wireless Festival 2025 in London

Drake made a surprise appearance at Don Toliver‘s concert in Toronto last night, performing tracks off his recent LP, Iceman, live for the first time.

The rapper emerged on the stage at Scotiabank Arena for a mini-set midway through Toliver’s performance. He showcased three tracks off Iceman: “Shabang,” “Burning Bridges,” and “Janice STFU.”

“I just wanna thank Don for having me out tonight,” Drake told the crowd. “This is my first time performing the album since it dropped, so thank you for being here. Look, I love this thing that we do so much in front of the city, I just want to thank you for keeping this shit alive.”

After the performance, Toliver told Drake, “I appreciate you for inspiring us all. You know damn well this shit wouldn’t be this shit if you ain’t do this shit. I appreciate you so much. You inspired me, and you inspired all of us. Thank you so much for pulling up on me.”

Furthermore, Drake’s “Janice STFU” debuted at Number One on the Hot 100. This marked the rapper’s 14th Hot 100 chart-topper, allowing him to eke past Michael Jackson as the male solo artist with the most Number One singles in Hot 100 history.

Toliver’s Octane World Tour continues on Sept. 2 in University Park, Pennsylvania. It continues through November, when it wraps in London on Nov. 23.
