Josh Katz, frontman of the rock band Badflower, has confirmed that the band’s current tour will proceed despite recent vocal issues that led to an emotional breakdown during a performance in Salt Lake City. During the show, Katz told the audience he was "done with this tour" due to the immense stress and uncertainty surrounding his vocal performance.

In a subsequent video update, Katz clarified that the tour is not canceled and that he feels supported enough to continue. He revealed that the struggle is "messing me up on a mental health level" even more than a physical one, describing the pressure of not knowing how his voice will perform until the first note of a show. Katz expressed gratitude for the "incredible advice and support" he has received from fellow singers. The tour, which supports the band's 2025 album No Place Like Home, resumed in Seattle on March 4th.

John Frusciante, the influential guitarist of the Red Hot Chili Peppers, celebrates his 56th birthday today, March 5, 2026. Born in New York City in 1970, Frusciante joined the band in 1988 at just 18 years old, playing a pivotal role in their most commercially and critically successful eras, including the multi-platinum albums Blood Sugar Sex Magik, Californication, and Stadium Arcadium.

Inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in 2012, Frusciante is widely regarded as one of the greatest guitarists of all time, known for his emotive playing and signature Fender Stratocaster tone. After rejoining the band for a third time in late 2019, he has since appeared on the 2022 albums Unlimited Love and Return of the Dream Canteen.

Skindred has released an official music video for their latest single, "Can I Get A," directed by Steve Clarke. The track serves as the third advance single from the band’s ninth studio album, You Got This, which is scheduled for release on April 17th via Earache Records.

The song is deeply personal for frontman Benji Webbe, who wrote the lyrics as a reflection on his upbringing as an orphan and his relationship with his older brother. Webbe stated that the track is intended to empower listeners, drawing from his own experience of using music to navigate a difficult childhood and avoid the pitfalls of his environment. He emphasized the message of living in the moment and not focusing on what one lacks, but rather on the potential to become whatever they desire.

Courtney Love has sparked widespread speculation regarding a Hole reunion, hinting at a potential tour that would include longtime bassist Melissa Auf der Maur. The band, which has not performed a full show together in 14 years, has been the subject of reunion rumors for years, though Love previously dismissed such possibilities as recently as 2021.

Love posted “So do we tell the kids about the tour @xmadmx?” along with a video on Instagram.

The teaser follows a period of renewed collaboration between the two musicians, who were recently spotted together in a London recording studio for the first time in over two decades. While official dates and a full lineup have yet to be confirmed, the prospect of a tour marks a significant shift for the group, whose classic Celebrity Skin era remains a touchstone of '90s alternative rock. This news adds to a busy year for the members, as Love continues to work on new solo material and Auf der Maur prepares for the launch of her upcoming memoir.

Kesha has issued a strong public statement condemning the White House for using her music in a recent social media post without authorization. The controversy began after the White House TikTok account featured her 2010 hit "Blow" over footage of a fighter jet firing a missile at a naval ship, captioned with the word “Lethality”.

The singer took to social media to express her disapproval, stating that she does not approve of her music being used to "incite violence and threaten war". In her statement, Kesha called the attempt to make light of war "inhumane" and emphasized that such messaging is the opposite of what she stands for.

The singer also referenced mentions of Trump in the Department of Justice's files on Jeffrey Epstein, writing, "Also, don't let this distract us from the fact that criminal predator Donald Trump appears in the Files over a million times."

Chris Fronzak, frontman of Attila, has issued a public apology to Caleb Shomo of Beartooth regarding a series of posts made on X (formerly Twitter). The controversy began when Fronzak posted remarks that many interpreted as a jab at Shomo’s personal life and the LGBTQ+ community.

In his apology, Fronzak clarified his intent, stating, "I meant it as a joke, not a jab at gay people," and expressed regret for the divisive nature of the comments. While the exchange sparked significant debate among fans online, Shomo has not yet issued a formal public response to the apology.

Fronzak's Full post :

“I would like to formally apologize for my tweet about Caleb Shomo. I meant it as a joke, but it didn’t come across that way. I don’t know what he’s going through at the moment, but I wish him the best. The world has too much hate rn & I don’t want to add any fuel to that fire. People will probably twist this into more negativity, but I am being honest. I meant it as a joke, not a jab at gay people. I personally thought it was lighthearted but I suppose that’s subjective.

From my perspective- I get death threats daily for over a decade. People call me horrific things & make up terrible stories. Horrible stuff every day. My perspective is skewed, the internet has desensitized me so I thought it was a 1/10 light joke. The reality is, people are struggling in their own ways, and jokes are subjective. You never know what someone is going through. Therefore, I am sorry, and I will work towards thinking about things deeper before I just word-vomit shit into this bird app. Love yall”

Billy Corgan has shared a theory on why rock music lost its dominance in mainstream culture, asserting that the genre was "purposely dialed down" starting in the late 1990s. Speaking on his podcast, The Magnificent Others, Corgan described witnessing a sudden "gravity shift" at outlets like MTV around 1997 or 1998, where rock was sidelined in favor of other genres despite remaining a top cultural force at the time.

Corgan noted a "schism" in the modern landscape, where rock remains a leading ticket-selling genre in the Western world yet receives minimal representation in the broader cultural conversation. While acknowledging the quality of the artists that rose to prominence during this shift, he argued that there was an overt effort to reduce the ability of rock stars to have a voice. He even referenced theories suggesting external involvement in these shifts, though he admitted such details were above his "pay grade."
