The Struts releasing ‘Can’t Stop Talking’ vinyl single

Alter Bridge announces 20th anniversary ’One Day Remains’ reissue

UMG claims Limp Bizkit’s royalties lawsuit is ‘based on a fallacy’

Zakk Wylde has set the tone for his upcoming North American tour with a classic bit of his trademark "berserker" humor. When asked how he plans to manage the physical toll of performing two full sets a night as both the frontman of Zakk Sabbath and Black Label Society, Wylde jokingly claimed his motivation was purely romantic—targeting his own wife and manager, Barbaranne Wylde.

"The whole point is I'm in Zakk Sabbath and we're opening for Black Label," Zakk quipped. "I'm not only a fan of Zakk Wylde, I'm a fan of his wife... I plan on sleeping with Zakk Wylde's wife. While we're going to blow Black Label off the stage, I'm gonna sleep with his wife."

Sharon and Kelly Osbourne shared a deeply emotional moment on stage at the 2026 BRIT Awards in Manchester as they accepted a posthumous Lifetime Achievement Award for the late Ozzy Osbourne. Introduced by a video message from Dolly Parton, who lauded Ozzy’s "permanent imprint" on music, the pair celebrated the "Prince of Darkness" seven months after his passing in July 2025. Sharon, 73, described her late husband as "the most humble egomaniac you will ever meet," reflecting on his journey from working-class Birmingham to global superstardom.

Kelly Osbourne added a lighter touch to the poignant evening, following her mother's speech by thanking fans for their loyalty and giving a playful "up the Villa" shout-out to her father's favorite football club, Aston Villa. The tribute concluded with a high-energy performance of "No More Tears," fronted by family friend Robbie Williams and backed by a supergroup of Ozzy’s longtime band members, including Zakk Wylde and Robert Trujillo.

Despite massive breakout years, both Turnstile and Sleep Token left the 2026 BRIT Awards without a win on Saturday, February 28th. The ceremony, held in Manchester, saw the two heavy-hitters fall to indie and alternative mainstays in their respective categories. Sleep Token, who made chart history in 2025 with their album Even In Arcadia, lost the Group of the Year award to Wolf Alice.

Meanwhile, Turnstile was unable to repeat their recent success at the GRAMMYs—where they took home Best Rock Album and Best Metal Performance—losing the International Group of the Year category to the Brooklyn-based band Geese. Other nominees in the competitive international category included Tame Impala and Haim. While the night was a disappointment for the two fan favorites, the heavy music community still celebrated the posthumous Lifetime Achievement Award presented to the legendary Ozzy Osbourne during the broadcast.

The legendary Ozzy Osbourne was honored with a posthumous Lifetime Achievement Award at the 2026 BRIT Awards in Manchester on Saturday night. The emotional ceremony featured a video tribute introduced by Dolly Parton, who praised Osbourne's "permanent imprint on music lovers everywhere". Sharon Osbourne accepted the award on behalf of her late husband, accompanied on stage by her children Kelly and Louis Osbourne. In a moving speech, Sharon described Ozzy as "the most humble egomaniac you will ever meet" and expressed how proud he would have been to receive the honor in his home country.

The night’s musical centerpiece was an all-star tribute performance of the solo classic "No More Tears," led by UK pop icon Robbie Williams. Williams was backed by an elite lineup of Ozzy’s long-time collaborators, including guitarist Zakk Wylde, bassist Robert Trujillo, drummer Tommy Clufetos, and keyboardist Adam Wakeman. Wylde notably took center stage for a blistering rendition of the track’s signature solo. The tribute marks the latest major recognition for the metal pioneer’s enduring influence, following a similarly star-studded musical salute at the 2026 GRAMMYS earlier this month.

David Draiman, the frontman of Disturbed, has issued a public response to Jack White following White's scathing critique of the latest U.S. military campaign in Iran. Sharing a Billboard headline that detailed White's comments regarding the "Board of Peace," Draiman argued that the liberation of the Iranian people should be a bipartisan point of agreement, regardless of one's opinion on the current administration.

Draiman took a diplomatic tone, praising White as an "absolutely brilliant artist" and clarifying that he seeks a respectful conversation rather than a debate. The "open invitation" for a public or private discussion comes as the music industry remains deeply divided over the escalation of conflict in the Middle East. As of now, White has not publicly responded to Draiman’s offer.
David's Full Post

"No matter what you may think of other things done by this administration, the campaign to #FreeIran isn’t something you, or anyone for that matter, should be taking issue with. The Iranian people deserve their freedom.

I say this with the UTMOST respect. I think you’re an absolutely brilliant artist.
I’d love to have the opportunity to talk with you...not debate, about it, anywhere you like, in private, or public, whichever you prefer.

Open invitation."

Radiohead has issued a scathing public statement after U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) used a choral cover of their 1997 classic "Let Down" in a social media propaganda video. Mincing no words, the band demanded that the "amateurs in control of the ICE social media account" take the video down immediately, stating that the song holds deep meaning for them and their fans and that the agency does not have the right to "appropriate it without a fight." The band ended their message with a blunt dismissal: "Also, go f*ck yourselves... Radiohead."

The ICE video in question features a mashup of the OK Computer track playing over images of victims of violence, which the agency attributes to "criminal illegal alien violence." Ironically, the clip reportedly fades out on the lyric "useless," a detail critics and the band suggest highlights how poorly the song aligns with the agency's message. This incident follows a similar legal dispute earlier this month, where guitarist Jonny Greenwood and director Paul Thomas Anderson demanded the removal of his Phantom Thread score from a Melania Trump documentary, citing a breach of his composer agreement.

Jack White has taken to social media to voice a scathing critique of the latest military campaign in Iran. In a post shared on Saturday, White called out the "unprecedented" strikes—which reportedly launched without congressional approval—mocking the administration’s self-proclaimed status as peacemakers. "Can you believe donny hasn't received a real Nobel Peace Prize yet? Unfair!" White wrote sarcastically, adding, "Maybe in his third term he'll get one."

White’s comments also highlighted the personal disconnect he sees in the conflict, writing that the President's own children "won't have to fight or die, just other people's children." This public outburst is the latest in White's long history of political activism, which has recently included a firm stance against the use of his music at political rallies. The military action has sparked a wave of responses across the music community, with several other festivals and artists adjusting their 2026 plans in the wake of the political fallout.

Jack's full post:

"Don't you love seeing him declare war on a country while wearing a trucker hat that says "USA" on it? Behold the leader of the "Board of Peace". For the next war announcement donny, may I suggest having your feet up on the Resolute desk while eating a Big Mac in a velvet track suit? Venezuela, Greenland, Iran, Cuba, what's the difference right? don jr. and barron won't have to fight or die, just other people's children, so...invade and bomb away! New sign ups for the "board of peace" starting at one billion dollars! Can you believe donny hasn't received a real Nobel Peace Prize yet? Unfair! Maybe in his third term he'll get one."

Gary Holt has opened up about Slayer’s 2024 return to the stage, describing the experience as "surreal" and "spectacular" while emphasizing the intense work required to bring the thrash titans back to life.

Speaking in a new interview on February 27, 2026, Holt revealed that despite his decade-long tenure with the band, he and bassist/vocalist Tom Araya were incredibly nervous before their first show back at Chicago’s Riot Fest. To ensure they were prepared, the group underwent a "full production rehearsal"—a departure from their usual routine—to refamiliarize themselves with the material after five years away.
Holt admitted he even had to consult internet guitar tabs to relearn certain parts he had played hundreds of times, though he noted that "muscle memory" eventually took over. While emphasizing that he remains fully committed to Exodus, Holt confirmed that Slayer currently plans to continue with a "brief, minor" schedule of selective appearances. This includes a confirmed performance at the 20th anniversary of Rocklahoma on September 6, 2026, and a rumored slot at Texas's Sick New World festival.

The spirit of the plastic-instrument era is officially returning with the reveal of Stage Tour, a new rhythm-action title being developed by a reconstituted RedOctane Games. Unveiled during IGN Fan Fest 2026, the game is being spearheaded by veterans of the original Guitar Hero and DJ Hero franchises, including original founders Charles and Kai Huang on the advisory board. To set the tone for this revival, the debut trailer features the high-octane track "Terminator Oscillator" from the platinum-certified industrial metal outfit Static-X.

Stage Tour is designed as a long-term platform rather than a series of annual sequels, with plans for regular seasonal updates, live events, and a deep competitive infrastructure. The game will support a full-band experience—including Lead (Guitar), Drums, Vocals, and a new "Groove" lane—and is fully compatible with classic five-fret peripherals, keyboards, and standard controllers. To coincide with the launch, RedOctane has partnered with Gibson, Epiphone, and Kramer to release a new line of dedicated hardware, including a Kramer-style guitar controller. A closed alpha test is scheduled for Summer 2026, ahead of the game's full release on PC and a wide range of consoles this fall.

The high seas are getting a dose of Mongolian throat-singing as The HU officially joins the musical world of Netflix’s One Piece. Released on, February 27, 2026, "Pray to the Sun" is the first single from the upcoming second season’s soundtrack, One Piece: Into the Grand Line. Composed by the Emmy-winning duo Sonya Belousova and Giona Ostinelli, the track features the band’s signature folk-metal power alongside the primal vocals of Irish musician Declan de Barra.

The anthem specifically serves as the theme for the fan-favorite Viking giants of Elbaf, Dorry and Brogy, capturing their unbreakable code of honor and devotion to the Sun God. To achieve the track’s massive scale, the composers recorded over 140 hours of orchestra and choir sessions, blending ancient instruments like the horse-head fiddle and jaw harp with modern metal energy. This collaboration arrives just as the second season of the live-action adaptation prepares to debut on Netflix on March 10, 2026.
