Bruce Springsteen’s May 8th Philadelphia concert has been rescheduled to May 30th due to playoff conflicts. The Philadelphia 76ers and Flyers both advanced to their respective second rounds Saturday, forcing the venue change. Xfinity Mobile Arena is now needed for the Sixers’ Game 3 against the New York Knicks. The Flyers’ Stanley Cup playoff schedule and Springsteen’s tour itinerary complicated rescheduling efforts. “All tickets for the previous date will remain valid for the new date,” Springsteen’s official site announced Sunday. The postponed show will now serve as the final performance of his Land of Hope and Dreams Tour, occurring after the previously scheduled May 27th closing show in Washington. (Story URL)
The Rolling Stones appear to have confirmed their upcoming album title and artwork through coordinated Instagram posts. Mick Jagger, Keith Richards, and Ron Wood each shared one-third of what combines into a single album cover Saturday, featuring their merged faces and the title Foreign Tongues. This matches outdoor advertisements placed worldwide April 25th showing the band’s famous tongue logo with text in various languages. The album follows 2023’s well-received Hackney Diamonds and marks their second release since drummer Charlie Watts’ 2021 death. Jagger previously told the New York Times they were “three-quarters through the next one” while promoting their last album. Another recent report suggests they already have ten songs prepared for another future album. Story URL
Brady Ebert, former Turnstile guitarist, now faces life in prison after charges were upgraded to first-degree attempted murder. A Montgomery County grand jury indicted Ebert for allegedly driving his car into 79-year-old William Yates, father of Turnstile singer Brendan Yates, on March 29th. The initial second-degree attempted murder charge carried a maximum 30-year sentence. Ebert also faces attempted second-degree murder, first-degree assault, and two counts of second-degree assault. He maintains innocence, calling it “pure self-defense.” Turnstile cut ties with Ebert in 2022 citing “a consistent pattern of harmful behavior” and escalating threats of violence. The band stated they “exhausted every available resource” to help him. Ebert is scheduled to appear in court May 8th. Following the incident, Turnstile opened their Coachella set with a video tribute to William Yates. Story URL
Jason Newsted revealed he successfully battled throat cancer after early detection led to a complete recovery. The former Metallica bassist disclosed his diagnosis during comedian Dean Delray’s podcast, explaining why he missed a February tribute show.

Three weeks ago, doctors declared him “free and clear.” The health scare prompted lifestyle changes, as Newsted stopped smoking and drinking. “The great spirit got my attention and said, ‘That’s not good right now, man,'” he explained.
