Today, March 3, 2026, marks the 45th birthday of Tobias Forge, the mastermind behind the Swedish rock phenomenon Ghost. This milestone birthday comes at a pivotal turning point for the artist, following the emotional conclusion of the Skeletour World Tour just last week in Los Angeles.

In recent interviews, Forge revealed that he is officially "stepping away" from Ghost for an indefinite period to focus on his wife and children, noting that after 15 years of constant touring and recording, he "physically and mentally needs to be home". While Ghost is moving into a hiatus, Forge remains creatively active; he has confirmed work on two upcoming film projects and a non-Ghost-related album that was recorded prior to the tour. As fans celebrate his 45th year, the future of the Clergy remains a "big question mark," with Forge emphasizing that he needs this break to find fresh inspiration for the band's next chapter.

Caleb Shomo of Beartooth has deleted his official Instagram account following intense online scrutiny over the band’s latest single, "Free". The track, which serves as Beartooth’s first release under Fearless Records, sparked a wave of targeted harassment after the music video debuted a dramatic shift in Shomo’s visual presentation. According to reports, the abuse spilled over onto the social media pages of Shomo’s family members, prompting the frontman to step away from the platform.

Adding to the tension, Attila frontman Chris Fronzak weighed in on the situation with a series of divisive posts on X (formerly Twitter). Fronzak joked that Shomo had "dropped the 'S'" from his name—a remark many fans interpreted as a homophobic slur—before later dismissing the backlash by calling critics "soft". Fronzak further alleged that the music industry is "brainwashed" and claimed major labels often force artists to fit specific "narratives". Despite the controversy, Shomo previously described the new song as the start of a deeply personal and honest chapter, reflecting the "emotional roller coaster" of his soul.

Metallica has officially added six new dates to their groundbreaking "Life Burns Faster" residency at The Sphere in Las Vegas. The expansion comes after the initial run of shows sold out in minutes, with the band now scheduled to perform through the end of October 2026. The residency has been hailed as a technical marvel, utilizing the venue’s 16K wrap-around LED screen to create immersive visual landscapes tailored to the band’s 45-year discography.

The newly added dates will see the "M72" stage production adapted specifically for the spherical environment, featuring a "No Repeat Weekend" format where the band plays two completely different setlists over two nights. According to tour promoters, the demand for these shows has exceeded all previous rock residencies at the venue, leading to the decision to "burn the candle at both ends" and extend the stay. Tickets for the added performances go on sale this Friday, March 6th, via Ticketmaster.

Metallica: New "Life Burns Faster" Dates:

October 16 & 18: The Sphere, Las Vegas
October 23 & 25: The Sphere, Las Vegas
October 30 & 31: The Sphere, Las Vegas (Halloween Finale)

David Draiman has issued a direct challenge to Elon Musk regarding the current state of information on the social media platform X. While acknowledging their mutual agreement that "free speech is absolute," Draiman argued that users acting as "the media" must be held to a standard of truth. He expressed frustration over the speed at which false information travels, noting that "Community Notes" often arrive too late to undo the damage of a viral lie.

Draiman specifically proposed a "three strikes and you’re out" system to punish the intentional spreading of blatant disinformation. He emphasized that the platform should not "automatically reward" accounts with high engagement if they are pushing non-factual content. These comments were part of a broader weekend of social media activity for the singer, which also included a respectful disagreement with Jack White regarding the recent military operations in Iran.

Draiman's Full Post:

"Dear @elonmusk

Free speech is absolute.

We agree on that completely.

However, if you want users to “be the media”, they should at LEAST be held to SOME standard of accuracy or truth.

There’s SO much false information flying around online on a daily basis. Community notes help, but they are added after the fact, and by the time they actually GET added, the lie has travelled around the world and the damage is already done.

There MUST be SOME system put in place that punishes such behavior? A three strikes and you’re out type thing maybe? Whether it be from the MSM or independent users, if you’re pushing blatant disinformation, the platform shouldn’t automatically reward you because you “get engagement.”

In a heartfelt video message, Anthony and Randy Armstrong have confirmed that lead singer Michael Barnes is stepping away from Red permanently to focus on his family after a nearly 20-year run. The news comes after a period of relative silence from the band, with Armstrong explaining that Barnes approached the group a year ago with his decision. Despite the major lineup change, the band is "here to stay" and has already begun planning for a new era.

While Red continues the search for a permanent replacement, they have announced that AJ Reingart (of the band Okaya) will be filling in on vocals for the upcoming 20th Anniversary of End of Silence tour this May and June. Additionally, fan-favorite drummer Dan Johnson is officially back in the fold after a four-year hiatus. Fans will have one final opportunity to see the original lineup perform together for a special farewell show on Friday, June 5th, in Dallas, Texas, where they will play the iconic End of Silence album in its entirety.
