Rush has officially expanded their highly anticipated reunion, adding a 24-date international leg to their touring schedule for 2027. The trek will see founding members Geddy Lee and Alex Lifeson, alongside drummer Anika Nilles, traveling through South America, the UK, and Europe from January to April. The band also revealed that they will be joined by veteran keyboardist Loren Gold (The Who) to round out the live lineup. Billed as "An Evening with Rush," each show will feature two career-spanning sets drawn from a massive catalog of over 40 rehearsed songs.

Geddy Lee expressed his excitement for the run, noting that the performances are intended as a long-overdue tribute to late drummer Neil Peart while celebrating 50 years of the band's musical legacy. The international run kicks off on January 15, 2027, in Buenos Aires and includes a two-night stand at London’s O2 Arena in March. Meanwhile, the band's 2026 North American tour is set to launch this June.

Korn guitarist and vocalist Brian "Head" Welch makes a guest appearance in the cinematic new music video for "Defiler," the latest single from Christian hard rocker Zahna. The collaboration highlights a deep partnership, as Welch officially signed Zahna to his own XOVR Records imprint in late 2024. In the track, Welch steps back behind the microphone to lend his signature gritty vocals to the aggressive anthem, further cementing his role as a mentor to the next generation of heavy music artists.

Ghost leader Tobias Forge has clarified his decision to take an official hiatus after the conclusion of the band's current "Skeletour". Speaking with Full Metal Jackie on February 21, 2026, Forge admitted that he is "out of tiles" and "out of wood" creatively, explaining that he needs time to recharge at home with his family after 15 years of nonstop album and tour cycles. Forge noted that while he is currently recording a separate project, there are no immediate plans for a new Ghost EP or record, marking a rare "big question mark" for the band’s future.

The frontman also addressed the physical and mental toll of the band's massive production, which he says contributed to the decision to "step away" and re-evaluate how the band tours in the future. Despite the pause, Forge remains busy with two upcoming film projects, ensuring that while the rituals may be stopping for now, the world of the Clergy is far from over. The "Skeletour" is scheduled to wrap up on February 23 at the Intuit Dome in Los Angeles.

Ed Kowalczyk, through his attorney, has officially responded to the cease-and-desist order issued by original Live members Chad Taylor and Chad Gracey. In a statement released shortly after the public dispute erupted, Kowalczyk's lawyer said, “The assertions contained in the recently circulated ‘cease and desist’ letter from certain former members of LIVE are without merit,” reads a statement from Kowalczyk’s lawyer, Mitchell Schuster of Meister Seelig & Fein, PLLC.

“Ed Kowalczyk has served as the band’s frontman since its founding and remains in that role,” the statement continues. “The claims made do not alter that reality. We intend to address this matter through the appropriate legal channels and are confident it will be resolved in Ed’s favor in court.”

Angela Gossow has revealed that she "thought hard" about returning to her role as the vocalist for Arch Enemy following the recent departure of Alissa White-Gluz, but ultimately decided against it. In a heartfelt social media posted today, Gossow explained that while the idea was considered both "emotionally and rationally," her current priorities—including her young children and her extensive workload as the band's business manager—made a full-time return impossible. "The answer was no," she stated, ending weeks of feverish fan speculation sparked by cryptic teaser videos.

Instead of reclaiming the spotlight, Gossow was instrumental in recruiting the band's new frontwoman, Lauren Hart (formerly of Once Human), whom she described as "Angela reincarnate". While she won't be touring, Gossow didn't rule out the stage entirely, adding a postscript that she remains "down for doing single shows" in the future. Meanwhile, she offered her full support to White-Gluz, noting that her predecessor is set to "kill it" with her upcoming solo album.
