Alice Cooper and his wife, Sheryl, celebrated 50 years of marriage on Saturday, March 21, by renewing their wedding vows at the historic Wrigley Mansion in Phoenix, Arizona. The ceremony was a deeply personal affair attended by 220 guests, including the couple's children and grandchildren. In a touching tribute to their original 1976 wedding, the vows were officiated by Sheryl’s 92-year-old father, William Goddard, who also presided over their first ceremony five decades ago.

The couple, who first met in 1975 when Sheryl joined Alice’s stage show as a dancer, exchanged personalized vows and custom 18K gold rings featuring rubies and diamonds. Known for having one of the most enduring marriages in rock history, the 78-year-old rocker has often credited their success to staying together both at home and on the road. The celebration featured four generations of family and serves as a rare milestone in the entertainment world.

Michael Smith, 54, of Cornelius, North Carolina, has pleaded guilty to conspiracy to commit wire fraud in what federal authorities are calling the first criminal prosecution of its kind. In a massive scheme spanning from 2017 to 2024, Smith used artificial intelligence to generate hundreds of thousands of songs and deployed a network of thousands of "bot" accounts to stream them billions of times. This manipulation allowed him to fraudulently collect more than $8 million in royalty payments from major platforms like Spotify, Apple Music, and Amazon Music.

To avoid detection, Smith carefully distributed the fake streams across a vast library of tracks, ensuring no single song triggered anti-fraud alarms. Prosecutors noted that at the height of the operation, Smith was generating approximately 661,440 streams per day, yielding annual royalties of over $1.2 million. As part of his plea deal, Smith has agreed to forfeit over $8 million and faces a maximum sentence of five years in prison. Sentencing is currently scheduled for July 29, 2026.

During a recent appearance on the Mark and Me podcast, Lamb of God vocalist Randy Blythe opened up about his music-listening habits, stating firmly that he does not use major streaming services like Spotify or Apple Music. Instead, Blythe revealed that he prefers to buy digital albums through Bandcamp to ensure the money goes directly to the artists, or purchase physical vinyl when he isn't on the road. Blythe explained that he misses the "mystery" of the pre-streaming era, often purchasing entire albums after hearing only a single song.

Lamb of God's tour starts tomorrow and they continue to promote their tenth studio album, Into Oblivion, which was released on March 13 to critical acclaim.

On this day in 1999, Static-X burst onto the scene with their debut studio album, Wisconsin Death Trip. Released via Warner Bros. Records, the album introduced the world to Wayne Static’s signature "evil disco" sound—a high-octane blend of industrial metal, pulsing electronics, and jagged nu-metal riffs. Led by the breakout success of the lead single "Push It," the record quickly climbed the charts, eventually reaching platinum status and cementing the band's place in heavy music history.

Beyond the hits like "I’m With Stupid" and "Bled for Days," the album was praised for its unique aesthetic and relentless energy. While we recently saw the release of the "Corrosive Edition" 25th-anniversary box set, the original 12 tracks remain a definitive time capsule of the late-'90s metal explosion. From the haunting atmosphere of the title track to the frantic pace of "Fix," Wisconsin Death Trip continues to be a go-to record for fans of industrial grit and rhythmic aggression.

Candlebox frontman Kevin Martin has confirmed that the band is officially working on a new studio album, tentatively scheduled for a 2027 release. In a recent interview with On The Road To Rock, Martin revealed that the group already has eight songs in development. The band plans to finish a few more tracks and release singles throughout 2026 before dropping the full record next year.

This news comes as a surprise to some, as the band’s 2023 release, The Long Goodbye, was originally billed as their final album. However, Martin explained that the return of original guitarist Peter Klett and a successful run of shows—including a tour with Bush and Jerry Cantrell—reignited his creative passion. Martin noted that having Klett back in the lineup has "upped the game," bringing a specific "magic" back to the band's signature sound.

The new Netflix documentary, The Rise of the Red Hot Chili Peppers: Our Brother, Hillel, has premiered with a controversial creative choice: using an AI-generated voiceover to replicate the speaking voice of the band’s late founding guitarist, Hillel Slovak. The digital reconstruction is used to recite Slovak's personal journals, providing a first-person perspective on the band's formative years before his tragic passing in 1988.

While the film primarily features new, real-life commentary from Anthony Kiedis, Flea, and original drummer Jack Irons, the inclusion of the AI voice has been described as "unsettling" by some early viewers. The documentary explores the deep bond between the founding members and the struggles with addiction that defined their early career. Although the band initially distanced themselves from the project—stating it was a story about Slovak rather than the band—Kiedis and Flea remain the central drivers of the narrative.

Kelly Osbourne and her fiancé, Slipknot turntablist Sid Wilson, have reportedly ended their relationship and engagement. According to sources, the split comes during an incredibly difficult period for Kelly following the passing of her father, Ozzy Osbourne, in July 2025.

The breakup occurs just seven months after Wilson proposed to Kelly on stage during Ozzy’s final performance with Black Sabbath last summer. The couple, who first went public with their relationship in early 2022, share a 3-year-old son, Sidney. While neither party has released a formal statement, reports suggest the emotional toll of recent family losses played a significant role in the decision to part ways.

Puddle of Mudd has officially released the music video for their song "Free," a track featured on the band's latest studio effort, Kiss The Machine. The album, which arrived in May 2025 via Pavement Entertainment, marks a continuing era for frontman Wes Scantlin and his current lineup, which includes bassist Michael Anthony Grajewski, drummer Jon Smith, and guitarist Miles Schon (son of Journey’s Neal Schon).

This latest visual follows a string of recent activity for the post-grunge mainstays, including the February release of the single "Rain" and the late 2025 surprise track "Monsters." With over seven million albums sold worldwide, the band continues to lean into the emotional authenticity that defined their early 2000s breakout while exploring a contemporary sonic edge with their new management and production team at NI Music Group.

Weezer has officially signaled their return with a cryptic new teaser shared across social media. The video features four hand-drawn symbols and opens with the classic "Buddy Holly" riff before transitioning into a snippet of unreleased music. In the clip, frontman Rivers Cuomo can be heard singing the phrase, “Shine again,” echoing a hint the band dropped back in February.

The teaser concludes with the date March 26, leading fans to believe a full single or album announcement is imminent. This marks the band's first new output since their ambitious 2022 SZNZ EP series. While the group prepares for this new era, their 2015 track "Go Away" has seen a massive resurgence, recently entering the Billboard Alternative Airplay chart thanks to a viral trend on TikTok.
