If there's one thing Hollywood loves more than a biopic, it's a music biopic. From "Walk the Line" to "A Complete Unknown," these mythologizing movies about famous musicians tend to be reliable crowd pleasers that, even when they repeat and remix the same formula over and over, are almost sure to win all involved extra attention during awards season, and for good reason.

These films often require even more meticulous work on behalf of the cast and crew, as directors and designers have to capture the feel of iconic locations, time periods, and historical events. Screenwriters have to tell life stories that span decades while naturally weaving musical numbers into the story. And the actors must faithfully and respectfully embody some of the most recognizable and beloved figures in entertainment history, while almost always having to musically perform iconic songs. Making even a halfway decent music biopic is deceptively difficult,...

John Lydon (aka Johnny Rotten) has recently been criticizing the current incarnation of his former band the Sex Pistols, who are touring with frontman Frank Carter these days. Lydon’s rants have also included mentions of Billy Idol, who toured with two Sex Pistols members as the supergroup Generation Sex in 2023.

In an interview last month, Lydon declared of the Sex Pistols Featuring Frank Carter, “I gave them the image. I was the frontman. I am the voice, what made the whole world sing. And now you’re going out, as they did the year before with Billy Idol. It’s just karaoke, really.”

The punk greats have been on tour with Gallows singer Frank Carter, who opened the show with a quick tribute to Burke, who died earlier this week at the age of 70. “Very quickly I just want to take a moment to dedicate this show to an amazing man, and a friend of the lads, Clem Burke,” Carter said. “An incredible drummer, who sadly passed away yesterday.

John Lydon continues to bash his former Sex Pistols band mates following news of the group’s reunion tour with Gallows singer Frank Carter.

“That’s a clown’s circus at work,” the singer formerly known as Johnny Rotten told the Independent of the Sex Pistols reunion tour. “Sorry, I’m not going to give a helping hand to this any longer, as far as I am concerned, I am the Pistols, and they’re not.”

Lydon, who was sued by his ex-band mates in recent years over his disapproval the FX miniseries Pistol,...

John Lydon (aka Johnny Rotten) has ruled out any reunion with the Sex Pistols, saying his former bandmates are now wallowing “in Walt Disney woke expectations.”

Classic band members Steve Jones, Glen Matlock, and Paul Cook are currently touring with Frank Carter as their singer, under the moniker Sex Pistols Featuring Frank Carter. The band recently booked a North American tour for the fall (get tickets here).

Lydon previously lambasted the current incarnation of the Pistols, as well as Generation Sex (the supergroup featuring Jones and Cook alongside Generation X’s Billy Idol and Tony James that toured in 2023), calling it nothing more than “karaoke.” In a new interview with Pa Media (via The Independent), Lydon was asked if he’d ever reunite with his legendary punk band.

Crowd Network (Crowd), one of Europe’s fastest growing independent podcast networks, has partnered with Britain’s biggest independent brewer, BrewDog.

The BrewDog sponsorship has been passed between some of Crowd’s most popular podcasts, including Fc Bullard, Joe’s Marler’s Things People Do, Geraint Thomas Cycling Club, Beef’s Golf Club, and For The Love Of Rugby.

For the partnership, Crowd and BrewDog assigned each podcast a different BrewDog beer, with hosts drinking them in podcast episodes, and beer cans and packs decorating recording spaces.

The collaboration supports Crowd’s multichannel approach by facilitating extra content opportunities, like Jimmy Bullard’s appearance on Joe Marler’s Things People Do to progress the sponsorship. Hosts worked...

As of last year, Sex Pistols have been touring with Frank Carter as their singer. For fans wondering why the legendary punk band didn’t reunite with original frontman John Lydon (aka Johnny Rotten), guitarist Steve Jones says it “wasn’t even worth asking” him.

Sex Pistols last performed with Lydon in September 2008, completing a run of European festival appearances as part of the original lineup’s most recent reunion. In a new interview with Rolling Stone Australia, Jones says that’s also the last time he spoke with the singer. Years later, Jones and drummer Paul Cook became embroiled in legal action against Lydon over the use of the band’s music in Danny Boyle’s 2022 miniseries Pistol.

“We don’t talk,” Jones said. “The last time I spoke to him was 2008. But I wish him all the best. I really do. We had a great time when we were young,...

The always acerbic John Lydon slammed “dull” Taylor Swift, Lady Gaga, and the “Johnny Rotten”-less Sex Pistols reunion tour in a new interview.

Speaking to NME, the singer was asked about a wide range of topics, including contemporary punk acts (“Not much point”), a Daft Punk collaboration that didn’t happen, an unreleased song he wrote Kate Bush, and more, but his trademark vitriol was reserved for Swift and Gaga.

“She’s incredibly dull,” Lydon said of Swift. “There’s a whole history of that kind of singer in...

John Lydon (aka Johnny Rotten) admits that he’s “pissed off” about his former Sex Pistols bandmates touring with singer Frank Carter, equating the performances to “karaoke.”

Sex Pistols Featuring Frank Carter started playing shows in August of last year, performing the band’s lone studio album, Never Mind the Bollocks, in its entirety.

The revamped version of the legendary UK punk act features Carter alongside original Sex Pistols members Steve Jones, Glen Matlock, and Paul Cook. They have a number of shows scheduled for 2025 in Australia, New Zealand, and the UK (pick up tickets here).

In a new feature with The I Paper, Lydon commented on his former bandmates touring with carter, saying, “When I first heard that the Sex Pistols were touring this year without me, it pissed me off. It annoyed me. I just thought, ‘They’re absolutely going to kill all that was good with the...

As much as we love covering the careers of prominent actors like "Spider-Man" franchise star Zendaya or "Mad Max: Fury Road" protagonist Tom Hardy, there's something uniquely exciting about looking at the work of a fast-rising star like Louis Partridge. Since appearing in Netflix's "Enola Holmes," opposite "Stranger Things" star Millie Bobby Brown, the 21-year-old English actor has appeared in some high-profile films and television shows, building his resume under the guidance of visionaries like Matthew Vaughn and Academy Award-winners Danny Boyle and Alfonso Cuarón.

At present, it sure seems as though Partridge is preparing to set the world on fire for the next few years, with starring roles in Steven Knight's "House of Guinness" and George Jaques' "Sunny Dancer" on the way. He's also slated to appear in Noah Baumbach's next film and will seemingly lead a new(ish) action franchise for Vaughn. If you want...

Sex Pistols guitarist Steve Jones and original frontman John Lydon, aka Johnny Rotten, haven’t shared the stage since the band’s 2008 tour. Nor have they spoken to one another since.

In a new interview, Jones revealed that he’s been estranged from the singer for well over a decade — since that ’08 tour — and the guitarist isn’t eager to patch things up.

“I haven’t spoken to him in years,” Jones said on the Rockonteurs podcast (watch below). “2008 was the last time I spoke to him. We did 30 shows around Europe. We did a bunch of festivals and all that, Japan, Australia. We ended up at Hammersmith Odeon, Hammersmith Apollo, and then we had one more show in the Basque country and that was it.”

He continued, “I was done after that, no more. Too much. Too old, too much, not enough done.”

The 2008 shows followed occasional one-off performances...

Duff McKagan kicked off his US solo tour on Monday night (November 4th) in Boston, and concertgoers were treated to a special rendition of David Bowie’s “Heroes” featuring a guest appearance by Jakob Dylan.

Duff and his band delivered a rousing cover of Bowie’s triumphant epic, adding a hard-rock crunch to the classic song. Dylan helped out on rhythm guitar and vocals, hitting the high register on the climactic buildup: “I, I will be king / And you, you will be queen.”

“Heroes” has become a mainstay in McKagan’s solo repertoire. After releasing a studio version of the cover back in September, he welcomed another guest performer, Steve Jones of the Sex Pistols, to assist in a live rendition during a London gig in October. That take was captured in pro-shot footage, highlighting Duff’s vocals (which are a bit muffled in footage...

After playing three rousing concerts at Bush Hall in West London earlier this month, Sex Pistols have announced a new run of fall UK shows with Frank Carter as their singer.

The lineup of Carter and classic Pistols members Steve Jones, Glen Matlock, and Paul Cook will play five gigs in September, including stops in Nottingham (September 20th); Birmingham (September 21st), Glasgow (September 22nd), Manchester (September 24th), and a previously announced concert at London’s 02 Forum Kentish Town (September 26th).

Tickets for select shows are already on sale, while the others go on sale Friday (August 23rd) at 9 a.m. local time.

Sex Pistols and Carter played their first show together on August 13th at Bush Hall, as part of a three-night stand to benefit the historic venue. The evening saw them ripping through every song on the Pistols’ lone studio album, Never Mind the Bollocks, as well as a few other tunes.

Sex Pistols played the first of three reunion shows at West London’s Bush Hall on Tuesday night (August 13th), featuring classic members Steve Jones, Glen Matlock, and Paul Cook performing with singer Frank Carter in place of Johnny Rotten. The revamped Pistols lineup also announced a fourth London show set for September 26th at the O2 Forum Kentish Town.

Two of the concerts at Bush Hall were announced back in early June as benefit shows to help keep the historic Shepherd’s Bush venue in business. A third show (August 15th) was added after the first two (August 13th and 14th) quickly sold out, but tickets are available via Viagogo.

As promised, the Pistols and Carter played the entire Never Mind the Bollocks album in full, albeit not in sequential order, ripping through classics like “Holidays in the Sun,” “Bodies,” and the set-closer “Anarchy in the U.K.”

Get ready for some classic horror screenings at the sixth edition of Grindfest! This year’s festival looks to be an unforgettable cinematic experience from 13th to 15th September at the luxurious Art-Deco Regent in Christchurch. Tickets and passes are on sale now at The Regent and Dirt in the Gate.

Grindfest is the UK’s dedicated genre film festival, showcasing classic films on 35mm prints, a format beloved by cinephiles for its authentic, nostalgic appeal. The festival curators have scoured archives worldwide to present rare film prints, some of which are rarely screened in the UK.

Following last year’s unique Friday 13th 3D screening, this year’s festival features another 1980s 3D classic, Treasure of the Four Crowns. Presented in its original over/under 3D process, this film promises a cinema adventure you won’t forget.

Grindfest also champions emerging filmmaking talent with its ever-expanding Short Film Showcase.

Sex Pistols members Steve Jones, Glen Matlock, and Paul Cook will reunite for a pair of benefit shows in August, fronted by singer Frank Carter. Each evening will see the foursome playing the Pistols’ iconic album Never Mind the Bollocks in its entirety.

The concerts will take place August 13th and 14th at West London’s Bush Hall, with the proceeds benefitting the historic rock venue. Tickets for the two shows go on sale via Ticketmaster UK on Wednesday (June 5th) at 9 a.m. local time.

Jones, Matlock, and Cook make up the classic Sex Pistols lineup, minus singer Johnny Rotten (aka John Lydon), who will not be participating. With his red hair and dynamic stage presence, British punk rocker Carter should make a fine fill-in for Rotten, as he’s proven via his sensational live shows with his band Frank Carter & The Rattlesnakes, and before that as frontman of Gallows.

In 2022, Oscar winner Danny Boyle retold the revolutionary story of the legendary British punk rock group the Sex Pistols with his limited series Pistol on FX. The six-part biopic based on guitarist and co-founding band member Steve Jones's memoir Lonely Boy: Tales From a Sex Pistol would score two BAFTA nominations for its portrayal of the band's brief yet historic rise to fame and infamy through the eyes of Jones, portrayed on-screen by Toby Wallace. Although the series can currently be found on Hulu, it's now bound for digital platforms everywhere starting on May 13 for those who don't have a subscription.

A new restoration of the 1959 horror film on Blu-ray and DVD, and making its UK digital debut, Horrors Of The Black Museum, starring Michael Gough and directed by Arthur Crabtree (Fiend Without a Face), marked the first film in the “Sadian Trilogy”, followed by the Hammer favourite Circus of Horrors and Michael Powell’s infamous Peeping Tom – introducing cinema audiences to a more shocking and salacious brand of onscreen horror.

A series of grisly, macabre murders sweep London and leave Scotland Yard completely baffled. Bancroft, an evil crime journalist, is hypnotising his assistant to commit murders using items curated in his own personal “Black Museum” – inspired by the infamous real-life collection of weapons and torture instruments used by criminals. Using these murders to fuel his own crime stories, Bancroft delights in the Yard’s embarrassment.

The new animated film premiering on Netflix starts exactly the way you’d think a fairy tale should. The first words we hear, after all, are, “A long, long time ago, a kingdom lived in peace.”

But don’t be fooled. Nimona, based on Nd Stevenson’s acclaimed graphic novel, is about as far from an ordinary fairy tale as animated films get. Cheekily irreverent and hilariously subversive, it’s a consistent delight.

After that lulling introduction, the action shifts forward one thousand years, with the story set in a futuristic medieval kingdom that boasts skyscrapers along with its ancient fortresses. The story begins with a cheesy news broadcast hosted by two over-enthusiastic anchors (Indya Moore, RuPaul) covering the kingdom’s “Night to Knight Knights,” a reality show-style competition. Among the competitors is the insecure, one-armed Ballister Boldheart (Riz Ahmed), who’s encouraged in his efforts by his boyfriend and fellow knight-in-training,...

Alex Jones has looked back at one of The One Show’s most memorable interviews involving former cohost Matt Baker and the then-Prime Minister, David Cameron.

Jones, who has been a main presenter on the BBC One evening magazine show since 2010, has been present for some of the programme’s landmark moments.

During an appearance on the Off Menu podcast this week, Jones was asked about The One Show’s 2011 live interview with Cameron.

Towards the end of the segment, Baker had a quick additional question for the Conservative politician: “How do you sleep at night?”

Viewers were surprised and entertained at the hard-line implication of the presenter’s query, as it clashed with the usual lightness of the programme.

“I’ve always managed to sleep okay,” Cameron replied. “If you work hard during the day and get your stuff done, try and put it behind you. At the end of the day,...

Billy Idol performed the first-ever show at the Hoover Dam for an upcoming concert film set to be released later this year, and a teaser of set opener “Cradle of Love” can be seen now.

The show took place earlier this month on April 8th — amidst Idol’s ongoing (and mostly sold out) North American tour (tickets available here) — at the Hoover Dam Bypass surrounded by the Black Canyon of the Colorado River and the Mike O’Callaghan–Pat Tillman Memorial Bridge.

The set saw the punk legend run through his most well-known songs, including “Dancing with Myself,” “Eyes Without a Face,” “Rebel Yell,” and “White Wedding” (per Setlist.fm). The occasion also warranted some special guest appearances, including cameos from Alison Mosshart, Steve Jones (Sex Pistols), and Tony Kanal (No Doubt).

As mentioned, the full performance was shot for a forthcoming concert film that’s being produced by Lastman Media.

Succession viewers are still reeling over the HBO show’s latest episode.

The third episode of the fourth and final season aired on Sunday (9 April) – and it’s changed the face of the series.

*Spoilers follow – you have been warned*

Not 15 minutes into the episode, it was revealed that Logan Roy (Brian Cox) had keeled over and died while on his private jet.

The Roy kids discovered the news – while at Connor’s wedding – over the phone to Tom (Matthew Macfadyen), who was with Logan and watched on as the media tycoon received chest compressions.

The remainder of the episode dealt with the immediate fallout of Logan’s death, both on the plane and off.

Now, fans are highlighting that this plot twist was hinted at in the poster for the fourth season.

The poster shows Logan stood in front of his relatives, including his children, his son-in-law Tom and...

Kardashian shared the news on Instagram on Monday (10 April), posting an official teaser video featuring the anthology series’ signature eerie music.

According to the video, the 12th season, titled “Delicate”, will premiere this summer, with Roberts rejoining the series, following her departure in 2019.

Minutes later, Roberts posted the same video on her Instagram, alongside the caption: “This summer... Kim and I are Delicate.”

No other information regarding Kardashian’s role or the season’s plot have yet been revealed.

The One Show host Alex Jones has claimed she split with ex Steve Jones over a betrayal involving Angelina Jolie.

Alex, who dated fellow TV presenter Steve from 1999 to 2002, recorded an appearance on Dish podcast with Nick Grimshaw and Angela Hartnett, in which she revealed the lengths her former partner went to prevent her from getting an interview with the Hollywood star – an alleged betrayal that led to their break-up.

The presenter spoke about the situation in response to a question written by the podcast’s production team before recording began. It was: “Did you ever get revenge on Steve Jones for that stunt he pulled on Rise?”

Alex replied: “I’ll definitely answer it. So long, long story short, back in the day I was an entertainment correspondent on Rise, and Angelina Jolie was coming on to be interviewed.”

The Welsh presenter then claimed that Steve stopped her from...

We’ve aggregated all the impending removals from Netflix in the UK and US, which we’ve signalled below. If there isn’t a territory listed next to the title, then it will be leaving both.

Sex/Life has been cancelled by Netflix days after the show’s star Sarah Shahi criticised the “gimmicky” second season.

Following the viral success of season one in 2021, Netflix’s erotic thriller returned for a second season in March. Shahi returned as series lead Billie Connelly, while Mike Vogel and Adam Demos (Shahi’s real-life partner) came back as the two men she is in a love triangle with.

However, in a recent interview, Shahi claimed that she was not happy with the second season of the drama and had not received the same levels of “support”.

“I mean, I’m never gonna work for Netflix again now after saying all this, but I can’t lie,” she said.

Rylan Clark has said that he can count his celebrity friends “on one hand”.

Appearing on Joe Lycett’s live Channel 4 show Late Night Lycett on Friday (7 April), Clark was asked by comedian Lycett to name his famous friends.

Admitting that he could “count them on one hand”, Clark listed Ruth Langsford and Eamonn Holmes, as well as Claire Richards from Steps.

“They’re my little nook,” he said.

Clark has been vocal in the past about his love of Langsford and Holmes, who he worked with on This Morning.

In his memoir Ten: The Decade That Changed My Future, published last year, the presenter said that a...

Netflix’s latest series is already making waves with viewers, achieving a near-perfect score on Rotten Tomatoes.

Arriving on the streaming website on Wednesday (6 April), Beef is a dark comedy produced by A24. It stars Minari actor Steven Yeun and comedian Ali Wong as two strangers who get into a road-rage accident.

On review aggregator website Rotten Tomatoes, Beef has a 99 per cent score at the time of writing on the critic-supported Tomatometer, as well as a 96 per cent score based on audience reviews.

Critics have praised both the show’s writing and performances (by Yeun and Wong), suggesting Beef is a shoo-in for this year’s Emmy Awards.

Writing for Salon, Melanie McFarland said: “One day in the future academics may view Beef as a convincing TV distillation of the early 21st-century’s collective mood, a lingering and worsening state of society-wide pandemic anger.
