Amy Lee overcomes the chaos and deceit in Evanescence’s most recent number one single.

Digital Noise Staff -

What’s happening

After waiting over two decades to secure their first-ever No. 1 single on the Billboard Mainstream Rock Airplay chart with 2025's "Afterlife," Evanescence has wasted no time conquering the peak position once again. The band's latest single, "Who Will You Follow," has officially surged to the top spot on the chart, marking a rapid second consecutive No. 1 for the multi-platinum rock powerhouse.

The chart-topping track serves as a core thematic pillar for their newly released studio album, Sanctuary. Frontwoman Amy Lee revealed that the song's driving lyric—"When all your faith in reality fades away / Who will you follow?"—directly addresses the modern struggle of navigating misinformation and societal disconnect. "When you can't even tell what's real, what's true, like, who will you follow? Right over a cliff," Lee shared, noting how dangerous it is when society loses a shared baseline of truth. Ultimately, Lee notes the track and the broader album serve as a call for direct, unfiltered human connection outside of modern digital screens. The band is currently on the road supporting the release, with their tour continuing tonight in Charlotte, North Carolina.

Rare is the band that can dominate the rock radio charts and turn around to completely reinvent a turn-of-the-century boy band anthem, but Sleep Theory is proving they are not just any ordinary rock band. The rapidly rising four-piece—consisting of vocalist Cullen Moore, guitarist Daniel Pruitt, bassist Paolo Vergara, and drummer Ben Pruitt—has officially released the studio version and accompanying music video for their heavily requested cover of *NSYNC's iconic pop smash, "Bye Bye Bye."

The track has long served as a high-energy staple of the band's live sets, consistently getting crowds moving by seamlessly blending massive alternative rock muscle with smooth R&B and pop vocal chops. This studio release arrives on the heels of an incredible run for the band, who have racked up over 875 million catalog streams to date. The milestone follows the massive success of their debut album, Afterglow, which was produced by David Cowell and mixed by heavyweight Zakk Cervini (Bring Me The Horizon, Bad Omens). With three No. 1 rock radio hits and a Best New Rock Artist win at the iHeartRadio Awards already under their belt, Sleep Theory is currently preparing to take this fan-favorite cover back on the road for their upcoming summer tour dates.

Jack Osbourne has aggressively pushed back against online backlash following his attendance at this past Sunday's historic "UFC Freedom 250" event. The exclusive, invite-only affair held on June 14, 2026, made waves as the first-ever combat sports card staged directly on the White House grounds, pulling double duty as a celebration of America's upcoming 250th anniversary and the 80th birthday of U.S. President Donald J. Trump.

Critics quickly swarmed Osbourne's social media feeds, accusing the appearance of being an unspoken political endorsement of the current administration. Commenters were quick to bring up his late father, heavy metal icon Ozzy Osbourne, claiming Jack's attendance flew in the face of Black Sabbath's legendary 1970 anti-war anthem "War Pigs." Others mocked Jack for contradicting comments he made to TMZ earlier this spring, where he explicitly stated that "celebrities just need to keep their mouths shut" regarding politics and stick to entertainment.

In a newly released video statement, a visibly frustrated Osbourne systematically dismantled the criticism, explaining that his invitation came directly from UFC President Dana White and was accepted purely out of a lifelong passion for mixed martial arts. "I went to a sporting event, that’s it," Osbourne fired back. "I have been into combat sports my entire life... So when I got invited by Dana White to attend the fight at the White House, of course, I would go. Any person out there who would get an invite would have gone."

Addressing the heavy criticism regarding his father's legacy, Osbourne was blunt. "As far as the people bringing my father into this, saying, 'Oh, Ozzy would not approve', shut the f*ck up. You did not know my father," he stated, pointing out that Ozzy previously attended the White House Correspondents' Dinner during the George W. Bush administration, performed USO tours in Korea, and visited wounded service members at Walter Reed Hospital. "To bring my father into this to say he would or wouldn't approve is completely insane. I simply attended a sporting event... So, deal with it. I'm sorry you weren't invited."

This past Sunday night, the Duél North America tour rolled into The Fillmore Philadelphia, bringing one of the most compelling headlining sets of the summer to a completely packed house. What made the performance particularly impressive was the context—Jinjer had stepped directly off the stage at the Vans Warped Tour in Washington, D.C. just the day prior. Despite the rapid turnaround and back-to-back weekend dates, the Ukrainian progressive metal powerhouse delivered a sharp, focused, and completely dialed-in performance.

By the time Jinjer claimed the stage, the anticipation inside the venue was electric. Backed by the flawless, hyper-tight rhythmic execution of bassist Eugene Abdiukhanov and drummer Vladislav Ulasevich, the band locked into heavy, syncopated grooves and intricate polyrhythms that sounded incredibly distinct and powerful through The Fillmore's room acoustics. Frontwoman Tatiana Shmayluk put on a stunning display, transitioning with fluid ease between soaring, soulful clean melodies and devastatingly deep guttural growls. The tracking lineup struck a perfect balance, pairing fan-favorite staples like "Vortex" and "Rogue" with sharp-edged tracks from their latest Duél release. Foregoing elaborate stage gimmicks, Jinjer relied purely on the sheer weight of their world-class talent, delivering an unforgettable night of modern metal.

Korn have found themselves at the center of social media controversy following the launch of their latest nostalgic merchandise line. To celebrate the legacy of their 3x-platinum 1999 fourth studio album, Issues, the band rolled out a blind-box collection featuring four distinct plush keychain dolls. Each design is meticulously modeled after the iconic ragdoll styles featured across the album's original multi-variant cover art.

While completing the full four-doll set poses a standard challenge for collectors, fans immediately directed their frustration elsewhere. Eagle-eyed supporters on Reddit quickly noticed glaring anomalies in the official product mockups hosted on Korn's webstore. The digital images of the packaging boxes displayed unmistakable hallmarks of AI generation, including garbled background text, structural formatting glitches, and severe misspellings.

While the rendering errors are presumed to be isolated to the web store's digital promotional mockups rather than the physical print run of the boxes, the discovery has reignited an intense debate across the metal community. Fans have expressed disappointment over a major legacy act relying on "AI slop" for product presentation rather than employing human graphic designers, highlighting how sensitive the integration of artificial intelligence remains within music culture. The highly sought-after $25 blind boxes, showcasing the Original, Pink, Maroon Brown, and Black ragdoll variations, have already completely sold out on the band's official storefront despite the online pushback.

Two-time Grammy-nominated singer, songwriter, and subversive performance artist Poppy has officially unveiled the chaotic new music video for her latest single, "Dying To Forget." The visual was helmed by director Orie McGuiness, marking a continuation of his creative partnership with the artist following their recent video collaborations on "Guardian," "Bruised Sky," and "Time Will Tell."

The industrial-tinged video centers on Poppy and her live band performing against a dark, gritty industrial backdrop. It features a narrow corridor packed with real-life fans who were brought in as production extras, delivering a palpable, high-thrash energy that mirrors the track's heavy lyrical delivery. Adding serious weight to the performance, the video features prominent cameos from Isaac Hale of Knocked Loose and Stephen Harrison of House of Protection, both of whom serve as credited co-writers on the heavy-hitting track.

"Dying To Forget" serves as a standout single from Poppy’s acclaimed seventh studio album, Empty Hands. The album seamlessly weaves industrial grit with sharp pop sensibilities and surrealist vocal delivery, earning critical praise from outlets like Pitchfork, which noted that the versatile vocalist "amplifies all her strengths on her seventh album—it's heavier, savvier, and quirkier than ever." To back the new material, Poppy is currently on her Constantly Nowhere Tour. Having already wrapped dates across Australia and Europe, she is set to launch the highly anticipated North American leg alongside French metalcore standouts Landmvrks and post-hardcore outfit Thousand Below.

A formal police investigation has been launched in the United Kingdom after a couple was caught engaging in an explicit intimate act inside a Ferris wheel pod at this year's Download Festival. The incident reportedly took place on Saturday, June 13, 2026, at Donington Park in Leicestershire, drawing a massive crowd of spectators directly below the attraction.

The viral encounter unfolded at the busiest point of the evening while tens of thousands of rock fans were tightly gathered at the main Apex Stage, waiting for Guns N' Roses to begin their highly anticipated headlining performance. According to eyewitnesses, the couple appeared to mistakenly believe the glass paneling of the pod was tinted. "They were literally in a glass pod above everyone's heads," one festival attendee told the Daily Star. "As soon as the cameras came out and word started getting around about what happened, the atmosphere completely changed—they made the night. All I can think is they thought the glass was tinted, but it wasn't at all; it was actually spotless, you could see everything."

While the act drew amused reactions and immediate memes from sections of the crowd, it also sparked sharp condemnation from families in attendance. Other eyewitnesses reported feeling disgusted by the overt public display, noting that numerous children present at the 95,000-capacity rock and metal festival were exposed to the encounter.

A spokesperson for the Leicestershire Police officially confirmed that an active investigation is underway to identify the individuals involved. "Officers are aware of a video on social media concerning two people acting inappropriately while on a Ferris wheel at Download this weekend," the department stated, confirming they are working in close tandem with Download Festival organizers. Authorities have requested that anyone with relevant information or details regarding the identities of the couple contact them online via the official Leicestershire Police portal, quoting crime reference number 26*346427.

Celebrity tattoo artist and beauty mogul Kat Von D has taken to social media to firmly deny viral allegations holding her personally responsible for a devastating 2010 house fire at a rented Hollywood Hills property. The controversy reignited after a user named Teva, the son of the late property owner Deborah, posted a series of TikTok videos claiming that Von D's alleged negligence and obsession with lit candles destroyed the historic "castle" rental, causing years of legal and emotional distress for his family.

Responding directly via her own TikTok account, Von D disputed nearly every element of the viral claims, asserting that she was not even inside the structure when the blaze broke out. Instead, she pointed the blame at faulty electrical wiring in the basement, an issue she claims she had repeatedly warned the property owner about prior to the incident. Von D further alleged that the landlord had sent an untrained spouse to address the wiring problems rather than hiring a licensed professional. Pushing back against the narrative that unattended candles caused the inferno, Von D emphasized that she suffered profound personal losses in the fire as well, including her computers, hard drives, clothing, and her beloved pet cat, Valentine.

While the internet debate centers on competing personal accounts, the dispute carries a heavily documented legal history. In May 2012, State Farm Insurance filed a civil negligence and breach of contract complaint against Von D (born Katherine von Drachenberg) in Los Angeles Superior Court. Court documents from that suit revealed that the insurance company sought to recover a payout of $909,199, alleging that an internal investigation determined Von D was liable for leaving multiple lit candles unattended on November 21, 2010. Addressing Teva directly, Von D stated that while she could not imagine the pain of losing a parent, the fire was ultimately a terrible tragedy completely outside of both parties' control.

The Obama Foundation has unveiled a powerhouse musical lineup consisting of "global icons" to celebrate the grand opening ceremony of the Obama Presidential Center. Set to take place on Thursday, June 18, 2026, the highly anticipated dedication ceremony will officially kick off a weekend of grand opening festivities spanning the Juneteenth holiday weekend from June 19th through June 21st.

Rock legends Bruce Springsteen and Pearl Jam frontman Eddie Vedder are among the stellar list of confirmed performers taking the stage for the event. The multi-genre celebration will also feature world-class appearances from Bono and The Edge of U2, Stevie Wonder, Christina Aguilera, John Legend, Jennifer Hudson, Marc Anthony, Common, The Roots, Tems, and actress Marsai Martin. Designed to be a direct celebration of the core community values that shaped the Obama presidency, the star-studded ceremony will be broadcast live online for global audiences starting at 12:00 p.m. ET / 9:00 a.m. PT.

The sprawling, 19-acre cultural campus is located on Chicago's South Side and breaks from the traditional presidential library model. The public grounds feature an athletic center, a local Chicago Public Library branch, community gathering spaces, a playground, a sledding hill, and a fully interactive ticketed museum. Notably absent from the guest list is Donald Trump, who previously criticized the $850 million project on social media. Despite the past criticism, representatives for the Obama Foundation publicly stated that Trump remains "welcome" to visit and tour the expansive grounds at any time.

In a resurfaced philosophical reflection from an extended interview with The Guardian, The Cure frontman and primary songwriter Robert Smith shared a candid, deeply personal look into his views on existence, parenthood, and life. Known for shaping the sonic landscape of post-punk and gothic rock with his signature introspective style, Smith addressed his long-standing decision to remain child-free, framing it not as a matter of regret, but as a direct extension of his broader belief system. "I’ve never regretted not having children," Smith stated openly. "I objected to being born, and I refuse to impose life on someone else."

The iconic musician elaborated that bringing a new life into the world requires a level of absolute certainty about human existence that he does not personally hold, viewing life as something that should not be passed on without profound consideration. During the conversation, Smith also addressed public speculation surrounding "A Boy I Never Knew"—an unreleased track by The Cure that many fans suspected was about fatherhood. Smith clarified that while the song carried a deeply personal tone, it was actually inspired by a combination of wider influences, including stories of loss among his close friends and historical references to the early human fossil known as the "Turkana Boy."

Beyond his personal life, Smith also expressed his natural inclination toward keeping his creative output focused on internal, emotional themes rather than overtly political commentary. He noted that while he has attempted to write about real-world political issues in the past, he found it difficult to balance artistic strength with an overt political message, ultimately leaving those tracks off final releases. For Smith, who has remained the sole constant member of The Cure through decades of defining alternative rock history—from 1979's Three Imaginary Boys to landmark albums like Disintegration—keeping interviews and music tethered to genuine creative and existential themes remains paramount to his enduring legacy.
