The latest episode of The Masked Singer (Season 14), titled "Ozzfest Night," featured contestants covering legendary rock icon Ozzy Osbourne. The night began with a high-energy group performance of "Crazy Train" featuring contestants Pangolin, Eggplant, High Voltage, and Galaxy Girl.

Pangolin delivered an emotional, stripped-down rendition of the ballad "Mama, I’m Coming Home," which moved guest panelist (and Ozzy’s daughter) Kelly Osbourne to tears. Meanwhile, Eggplant performed a cover of Linkin Park's "One Step Closer"—a nod to the Ozzfest festival's nu-metal legacy—before falling into the bottom two. After a "Battle Royale" sing-off of Black Sabbath’s "Iron Man" against High Voltage, Eggplant was eliminated and revealed to be actor and singer Jack Wagner.

Tommy DeCarlo, the lead singer of the legendary rock band Boston since 2008, passed away on Monday, March 9, 2026, at the age of 60. His family confirmed the news in a social media post, stating that DeCarlo died in Charlotte, North Carolina, following a battle with brain cancer that began with a diagnosis in September 2025.

DeCarlo’s journey to rock stardom is widely considered one of the most unique in music history. A lifelong fan working as a credit manager at Home Depot, DeCarlo posted covers of Boston songs on MySpace to honor the band’s original frontman, Brad Delp, following Delp's death in 2007. His vocal similarity to Delp caught the attention of founder Tom Scholz, who invited the then-unknown singer to join the band. DeCarlo went on to front every Boston tour for nearly two decades, with Scholz once remarking that DeCarlo was "the best male stage singer" he had ever heard.

Following the viral success of his metalcore parody song "PetSmart," comedian and America's Got Talent alum Ben Lapidus took his quest for branding clarity to the streets. On Sunday, March 8, 2026, Lapidus held a "Rally for Truth" at a PetSmart location in Sherman Oaks, CA, to address the long-standing debate over the store's name: is it "Pet Smart" or "Pets Mart"?.

The rally followed an appearance by Lapidus on Good Day LA, where he discussed how the viral movement—born from his metal-style screaming videos—demanded a definitive answer from the retailer. PetSmart officially weighed in on TikTok using Lapidus's own audio, stating, "It's Pet Smart, case closed," and jokingly adding, "no more screaming, you're scaring the pets". Despite the official confirmation, Lapidus moved forward with the weekend rally, which featured fans and fellow creators gathering to celebrate the release of the full "PetSmart" music video.

ive Nation Entertainment has reached a settlement with the U.S. Department of Justice (DOJ), ending a high-stakes federal antitrust lawsuit that sought to dismantle the company’s alleged monopoly over the live music industry. The deal, struck just days after the trial began in New York, allows Live Nation to retain Ticketmaster but imposes significant "structural changes" to its business operations.

Under the terms of the agreement, Live Nation will pay between $200 million and $300 million in damages to participating states. Key reforms include:

Exclusivity Caps: Long-term exclusive ticketing contracts are now capped at four years.

Platform Access: Ticketmaster must open its technology to competitors like SeatGeek and Eventbrite, allowing them to list tickets directly through its system.

Venue Divestiture: Live Nation is required to sell more than 10 of its owned and operated amphitheaters.

Fee Caps: Service fees will be capped at 15% of a ticket's face value.

The settlement concludes a legal battle that began in May 2024, fueled by public outcry following the 2022 Taylor Swift "Eras Tour" ticketing collapse.

Lamb of God vocalist Randy Blythe has issued a direct challenge to his fellow artists and musicians, urging them to use their platforms to speak out against social and political injustices. In an interview with Full Metal Jackie, Blythe addressed the current state of the U.S., specifically citing concerns over government actions and recent enforcement-related incidents.

Blythe Stated:

"Don't be a coward, speak up, Amongst people of my generation and older, I sure would like to see a little bit more vocal discontent, Shout out to the Dropkick Murphys. And shout out to Bruce Springsteen, you know?"

I think coming from an underground sort of music, I'm not here to sing love songs. I'm not here to make sure everybody's having a good time at the party. Let's speak some words of substance, let's address some distressing concerns. And there are a lot of them right now."

The message coincides with the upcoming release of Lamb of God's new album, Into Oblivion, due March 13, which Blythe notes will explore themes regarding the "rapid breakdown of the social contract" in America.

Slipknot co-founder Shawn "Clown" Crahan has opened up about his decision to move from his longtime home in Iowa to Palm Springs, California. In a recent interview, Crahan explained that after decades in the Midwest, he felt a need for a change in environment to support his creative and personal evolution.

Crahan described the "incredible energy" of the desert landscape as a major draw, noting that the new setting has provided a fresh perspective for his artistic endeavors. While he remains deeply connected to Slipknot's roots, he emphasized that the move represents a necessary chapter in his life. This transition comes as the band prepares for a busy 2026, including their highly anticipated "25th Anniversary" tour dates.

Crahan stated:

"There's some health things, you know, and the sun is always out here. It is always blue skies. The energy is incredible, and it's just better for what my wife and I are doing now in our life, which is trying to be stress-free as much as possible and appreciate each other. All the kids are out of the house, so, it's been a long haul dedicating to art and life. So, we moved to Palm Springs to take a load off and get a different energy and have blue skies [and] warm weather that just feels good all day, every day."

Shinedown singer Brent Smith has shared new details regarding the band’s eighth studio album, titled Ei8ht, scheduled for release on May 29 via Atlantic Records. In an interview with Audacy Music's Katie & Company, Smith explained that the album features 18 songs, making it "essentially a double record".

Departing from the conceptual themes of the band's last two releases, Smith described Ei8ht as a "traditional record" where each song exists as its own entity. The album is the result of a year-and-a-half-long production journey and follows a string of successful singles, including "Dance, Kid, Dance" and "Three Six Five." Shinedown will support the release with the "Dance, Kid, Dance Act II" world tour and their curated festival event, the Lunatic Ball Beach Weekend, in October 2026.

Courtney Love has officially shut down speculation regarding a full Hole reunion, despite recently teasing a tour with former bassist Melissa Auf der Maur. After posting a video of Auf der Maur set to the band's 1998 hit "Malibu" with the caption, "So do we tell the kids about the tour?", Love later clarified in social media comments that the upcoming shows are "not a reunion".

Instead, the duo will be performing "new songs" together, likely in support of Love's long-awaited solo album, which features vocal contributions from Auf der Maur. This news arrives as Auf der Maur prepares to release her memoir, Even the Good Girls Will Cry, on March 17, and Love continues to promote her new documentary, Antiheroine, which recently premiered at the Sundance Film Festival.
