Dave Grohl has finally offered his perspective on the band’s decision to part ways with drummer Josh Freese in May 2025. Speaking with Zane Lowe for Apple Music 1, Grohl clarified that the choice "didn’t happen overnight" and was a collective decision made by the entire band during a six-month break from touring. While Freese previously expressed shock and disappointment over the "mystery" dismissal, Grohl noted that they simply felt it was time for a "new direction". He also alluded to Freese's own admission that the Foo Fighters' music didn't fully "resonate" with him, calling that a critical factor in the transition.

Grohl described the phone call to Freese as a respectful "thank you" for his time with the band, though he refrained from offering a specific technical reason for the change. The frontman instead focused on the band's current synergy with new drummer Ilan Rubin, whom he hailed as an "incredible blessing" as they prepare for the release of their 12th album, Your Favorite Toy, this April.

Kid Rock has taken to social media to fire back at reports regarding his tour pricing, accusing the media of twisting facts." Clarifying the structure of his premium seating, he explained that the $5,000 price tag applies only to the four seats in the very first row, which he describes as "First Class" accommodations. He further detailed a tiered scale for the first five rows—ranging from $5,000 to $1,000—noting that these represent only 20 total seats in venues holding up to 25,000 people. Rock emphasized that the majority of fans can still attend for $50 via lawn seating and concluded his message with a warning that "sooner or later God will cut ‘em down."

Kid Rock's Full Statement:

Here we go again.

The fake liberal media says I’m charging $5,000 for front-row tickets.
They know damn well that’s not the full story.

Those are extremely limited First Class seats like I explained — FOUR tickets per row, first five rows only (5k per seat row 1, 4k row 2, 3k row 3, 2k row 4, 1k row 5) — Again ONLY 4 seats in rows 1 through 5 (20 "first class" seats in venues that hold 15k to 25k people)

But instead of reporting facts or that lawn seats are only 50 bucks or how we are cutting out the scalpers, they twist it for headlines / clicks and to attack me - nothing new here.

I WILL pray for them but I know that sooner or later God will cut ‘em down.

Well that didn't last long!

Steve Perry has officially broken his silence to deny reports that he will reunite with Journey for their upcoming "Final Frontier" farewell tour. The statement, issued late Thursday night via social media, comes just hours after keyboardist Jonathan Cain told Ultimate Classic Rock that guitarist Neal Schon had reached out to Perry and that the singer "didn't say no" to a guest appearance.

"While I'm always grateful for the love people still have for Journey, the rumors about me rejoining the band are simply not true, and I want to gently put them to rest," Perry wrote. He emphasized that while the music they created together remains precious to him, he is currently focused on "new creative work" that reflects his life today. Journey's final trek is scheduled to kick off on February 28 in Hershey, Pennsylvania, with the current lineup featuring Arnel Pineda on lead vocals.

Steve Perry's official statement:

To all my friends -

I’ve been hearing these recent rumors, and I wanted to speak to you all directly. While I’m always grateful for the love people still have for Journey, the rumors about me rejoining the band are simply not true, and I want to gently put them to rest.
I completely understand why people would hope for that. The music we created together means a great deal to me too. But I’m continuing to explore new creative work and really enjoy working on new music that reflects where I am today.
Thank you for your continued support throughout the years. Your loyalty has never gone unnoticed, and I am forever humbly grateful.

Sincerely,
Steve Perry

Today, February 20, 2026, music fans around the world are pausing to honor the late Kurt Cobain on his 59th birthday. Though he remains "forever 27" in the hearts of those he inspired, the legacy of the Nirvana frontman continues to grow more influential with each passing decade, as a new generation of listeners discovers the raw, melodic power of grunge.

In his hometown of Aberdeen, Washington, residents are celebrating the annual "Kurt Cobain Day," a tradition established in 2014 to reclaim the town's connection to its most famous son. Meanwhile, in Los Angeles, the Musichead Gallery is hosting the opening of Come As You Are: Grunge, Counterculture, and the Seattle Sound, a photography exhibition featuring legendary works by Charles Peterson and Jesse Frohman that captured the peak of the Nirvana era. Despite the decades since his passing, Cobain's art—from the jagged riffs of Bleach to the haunting vulnerability of MTV Unplugged—remains the ultimate blueprint for alternative rock.

The door to a long-awaited reunion remains open as Journey prepares to launch their "Final Frontier" farewell tour. Keyboardist Jonathan Cain confirmed that guitarist Neal Schon has officially reached out to legendary frontman Steve Perry, inviting him to appear at any of the 100 scheduled stops. According to Cain, Perry hasn't declined the offer and is currently "thinking about it".

The tour is set to kick off on February 28 in Hershey, Pennsylvania, with Arnel Pineda—now the group’s longest-tenured lead singer—handling vocal duties. Despite years of internal legal battles and public friction, Cain noted that he and Schon have put their differences aside to focus on the music for this final chapter. While Pineda remains the band's primary singer, Cain expressed optimism about a Perry cameo, stating, "It’s never too late".

Fred Durst has officially volunteered to provide vocals for an upcoming album of unreleased and unfinished Van Halen songs. The Limp Bizkit frontman responded to recent post from Consequence on X that Alex Van Halen is currently searching for a singer to complete tracks that the late Eddie Van Halen was working on prior to his passing.

Taking to social media, Durst posted a simple but enthusiastic message: "let's go!! I'm ready".

The project is being spearheaded by Alex Van Halen in collaboration with veteran guitarist Steve Lukather. While the group initially hoped to recruit Bad Company’s Paul Rodgers, that arrangement did not materialize, leaving the search open. Alex has noted that he is looking for a vocalist with a "shared experience" and the proper musical depth to match the legendary material.

Horror-themed metalcore leaders Ice Nine Kills have officially premiered their latest single, "Twisting The Knife," a track specifically written for the upcoming Scream 7. The song features a guest appearance by actress and singer Mckenna Grace, who stars in the new film. Adding to the franchise connection, Grace recorded her vocals in frontman Spencer Charnas' home studio, right alongside an original screen-used knife prop from the first Scream movie.

"Twisting The Knife" is set to play during the end credits of Scream 7, further cementing the band's deep-rooted ties to the horror community. Charnas, a lifelong fan of the series, described the track as a tribute to Wes Craven’s legacy and the "DNA" of Ice Nine Kills. The film is scheduled to have its Los Angeles premiere on February 25, followed by a wide theatrical release o#newmusicfriday.

Spencer Charnas on the song:

“‘Twisting The Knife‘ is our tribute to Wes Craven and the Scream franchise, which mean so much to us. Scream is baked into the DNA of who I am and of Ice Nine Kills—my love of horror, comedy, and the collision between the two. I was already obsessed with Halloween and Friday the 13th, but Scream was the first I saw in theaters.
In recent years, we’ve gotten to know and work with Matthew Lillard, Skeet Ulrich, Neve Campbell, Rose McGowan, Jamie Kennedy, Lee Waddell, and others in different capacities. When we learned that Mckenna Grace is a fan of our band, it made perfect sense to invite her to sing. She recorded her part in my home studio, in the same room where I keep my screen-used Scream knife prop, one of the four rubber knives made for the first movie.”

Swedish melodic death metal legends Arch Enemy have officially entered a new era with the release of their latest single, "To The Last Breath". The track marks the recorded debut of the band's new frontwoman, Lauren Hart, best known as the vocalist for the U.S. metal outfit Once Human. Hart takes over the mantle following the departure of longtime singer Alissa White-Gluz, who stepped down in November 2025 after an 11-year tenure to focus on her solo career.

While the band teased a potential reunion with former singer Angela Gossow through cryptic social media posts earlier this month, Gossow quickly clarified that she remains the band’s manager and is not returning as their vocalist. The addition of Hart brings a more aggressive edge reminiscent of the band's classic Wages of Sin era. Along with the single, Arch Enemy has announced the "Back To The Root Of All Evil" European tour for summer 2026, marking their first live run with the new lineup.
