Martin Scorsese received his first Emmy nomination for acting. The Oscar-winning director was nominated for the category Outstanding Guest Actor in a Comedy Series for his appearance in AppleTV+’s The Studio. In the episode, The Promotion, Scorsese appeared as himself and delivered an enjoyable performance.

The Studio received five of the nominations in the category, including nods for Bryan Cranston, Ron Howard, Anthony Mackie, and Dave Franco. The show has also been nominated for the Best Comedy Series category. It also earned acting nominations for Seth Rogen, Ike Barinholtz, Kathryn Hahn, and Catherine O’Hara.

Competing with the guest stars of The Studio in the Outstanding Guest Star category is Jon Bernthal, who won the award last time for his appearance in FX’s The Bear. Fans were surprised to see two legendary directors being nominated in an acting category at the Emmys 2025.

A Les Paul guitar that was famously stolen from The Rolling Stones in the early ’70s was recently discovered in a collection of guitars obtained by the New York Metropolitan Museum of Art.

The 1959 sunburst Gibson Les Paul Standard belonged to former Rolling Stones guitarist Mick Taylor, who purchased it from Keith Richards in 1967. The axe was notably played by Richards during the Stones’ historic Ed Sullivan Show appearance in 1964, as well as by Taylor during the band’s infamous Altamont gig in 1969. Jimmy Page and Eric Clapton were also known to have borrowed and played it at one point.

Until now, the guitar was considered long gone, having been stolen from The Stones during the sessions for 1972’s Exile on Main St. at the Villa Nellcôte mansion in Côte d’Azur. The burglary, purportedly the work of local drug dealers that Richards owned money, resulted in the theft of nine guitars,...

On July 13, 1985, the world’s biggest music stars gathered for Live Aid, a massive benefit concert to raise money for famine relief in Ethiopia. In a new original series, CNN goes behind the scenes on how Boomtown Rats frontman Bob Geldof and singer-songwriter Midge Ure organized the legendary effort that brought in more than $127 million and drew in about 1.5 billion viewers around the world.

Premiering on Sunday, July 13, at 9 p.m. Et/Pt, Live Aid: When Rock ‘n’ Roll Took Over the World celebrates the 40th anniversary of the multi-venue event that featured special performances by Tina Turner with Mick Jagger, Bob Dylan with the Rolling Stones’ Keith Richards and Ronnie Wood and Sting with Phil Collins and Branford Marsalis. The docuseries will feature interviews with Geldof, Bono, Lionel Richie, Patti Labelle, Sting, Phil Collins and others, and will include archival footage of the event that took place at Wembley...

There are many, many ways that pop-culture fans have discovered shapeshifting rocker/actor Michael Des Barres over the decades. Some may know him from his big-screen debut at age 17 in the 1967 Sidney Poitier film To Sir, With Love; or as the frontman of the Deep Purple- and Led Zeppelin-associated bands Silverhead and Detective; or as the cowriter of Animotion’s 1983 hit “Obsession”; or as the longtime host of the Little Steven’s Underground Garage morning show on SiriusXM; or as iconic MacGyver villain Murdoc; or for his many other television appearances on shows like Roseanne, Seinfeld, Melrose Place, Northern Exposure, Frasier, and Nip/Tuck.

But if you’re one of the Gen X kids among the estimated 1.9 billion people (nearly 40 percent of the world population at the time) who watched the global Live Aid concert broadcast 40 years ago, on July 13, 1985, then you might best know Des Barres as the...

Stars: Mel Gibson, Danny Glover, Gary Busey, Mitchell Ryan, Tom Atkins, Darlene Love | Written by Shane Black, Jeffrey Boam | Directed by Richard Donner

Nearly four decades after its explosive debut, Lethal Weapon remains one of the defining films of the action genre. Now, with Warner Bros.’ new 4K Uhd release, Richard Donner’s 1987 classic gets the restoration it has long deserved, reaffirming its place in the pantheon of buddy-cop cinema.

The film that kicked off the enduring franchise stars Mel Gibson as Martin Riggs, a volatile, grief-stricken former Special Forces soldier-turned-lapd detective teetering on the edge of self-destruction. Opposite him is Danny Glover’s Roger Murtaugh, the seasoned, sensible family man counting down the days to retirement. What follows is a masterclass in chemistry, conflict, and camaraderie — a mismatched duo navigating drug cartels, conspiracies, and car chases while redefining the buddy-cop formula.

Presented in both its original 1987 theatrical cut and...

Long before Gary Clark Jr. jammed with Eric Clapton, the Rolling Stones, and Foo Fighters, and headlined festivals all across the globe, he was an unknown, unsigned blues guitarist in his hometown of Austin, Texas, desperate to make a name for himself. On Sept. 24, 2004, when he was just 20, Clark found himself onstage at Antone’s Nightclub playing the blues standard “Catfish Blues” on a bill that also included Double Trouble, James Cotton, and Jimmie Vaughan.

A tape of his blazing performance from that night has been tucked away for the past 21 years,...

In the year 2000, Who Wants to Be a Millionaire was the biggest game show on TV. Like all popular game shows, it wouldn’t be long until they cranked out a celebrity edition of the show. In fact, it debuted that same year. For Celebrity Millionaire’s second week, the contestants were a truly eclectic group — a group that included Tyra Banks, Vivica A. Fox, Alec Baldwin, Charlie Sheen and disgraced rapper P. Diddy. There were also a host of comedians, the most memorable of which was Norm Macdonald, who was the very last to compete for his charity.

It was worth the wait, however, as Macdonald cranked out a number of hilarious zingers during his short stint on the show. Here are his 10 funniest jokes and answers…

Exclusive: Live Nation Productions has tapped Oscar nominee Aunjanue Ellis-Taylor (Nickel Boys) to pen a feature centered on “Godmother of Rock and Roll” Sister Rosetta Tharpe, with rock legend Mick Jagger producing.

Hailing from Tribeca Studios, Jagged Films, and Inaudible Productions, the project has the participation of Tharpe’s estate, which has granted rights to her music catalogue. In the making of the film, the producers will also draw on Gayle Wald’s definitive biography Shout, Sister, Shout!: The Untold Story of Rock-and-Roll Trailblazer Sister Rosetta Tharpe, to which they’ve secured exclusive rights.

Rising to fame in the ’30s and ’40s, Sister Rosetta Tharpe was a trailblazing gospel guitarist and singer whose fearless transgressions of musical boundaries laid the foundation for rock and roll. An artist who broke barriers as a Black woman in music, she influenced countless legends with her music — among them, Elvis Presley, Johnny Cash,...

More than a decade after the Melvins’ Kurt Cobain–decorated 1972 Dodge van was listed on eBay, the “Melvan” is headed back to auction. The Kiss illustration that Cobain left on the vehicle, as well as other parts of the van, will be part of Julien’s Auctions’ Music Icons auction, which will take place May 30 and 31 at New York’s Hard Rock Café.

The auctioneers made a video documenting the Melvan’s last ride, including a stop outside of Seattle’s Easy Street Records last month on Record Store Day.

Canadian singer-songwriter Matt Andersen has an unrelenting work ethic. Since the early 2000s, he’s seemingly always been on tour or recording new music. Andersen immediately cites his father, a self-employed tree logger who worked long days in the northern woods of Andersen’s native province of New Brunswick.

“He always told me he wanted to work for himself,” Andersen tells Rolling Stone. “And I always had that in my head.”

Calling in from his home not far out of Halifax, Nova Scotia, the cell service is spotty and scratchy at best.

This article contains Major Spoilers for Sinners, now showing in theaters.

Audiences didn't have to wait too long to find out Sinners had a post-credits sequence. Director Ryan Coogler confirmed that epilogue was first on his priority list: it was his personal tribute to someone important.

Director Ryan Coogler said his late Uncle James was one of the reasons Sinners was made. It was also crucial that they cast blues legend Buddy Guy as the older Sammie in the epilogue. "I wrote what I thought [my uncle] think would be cool," he told Entertainment Weekly. "[Buddy Guy is] the only artist that my uncle would consistently get dressed for and go see a lot." Coogler's uncle grew up in Mississippi, the birthplace of Delta blues; Buddy Guy's style is rooted in the genre. A renowned Chicago bluesman, his musicality inspired Eric Clapton, Jimi Hendrix, Stevie Ray, and many other guitar legends.

In the movie's climactic finale,...

Anthi Pantelidis, who spent seven years at music video service Vevo, is joining PR agency Kovert Creative.

Pantelidis will be based in the New York office of the company, which reps the likes of Jimmy Kimmel, John Mulaney, Jon Stewart and Amy Poehler.

She will work closely with Kovert clients including the First We Feast brand, which is behind buzzy YouTube series Hot Ones; Spotify; and The Mediapro Studio U.S., the American outpost of the Spanish producer behind HBO’s The Young Pope and The New Pope.

Before that she led direct content and live-event communications at Vevo and was a publicist for Fuse, the music network under The Madison Square Garden Company.

Pantelidis began her career at Pmk*Bnc, working in the music department with artists such as John Legend,...

Spoilers for "Sinners" follow.

If you know what's good for you, you'll have savored every last drop of Ryan Coogler's latest and unquestionably greatest work to date with "Sinners," the horror movie that might be the director's biggest box-office gamble to date. Sat somewhere between "From Dusk Till Dawn" and "No Country for Old Men" (which Coogler confirmed he drew from), the Michael B. Jordan spine-chiller culminates in a glorious blend of music, monsters and lost souls arriving right where they need to be, and the best part is that it isn't even the end.

Nowadays, movies with post-credit scenes are often adorned with a Marvel logo, so it's a refreshing change of pace to see one at the end of Coogler's latest. Here, the "Black Panther" director sticks not one but two buttons on the end of "Sinners," both of which hold immense value in the violent and...

Amadou Bagayoko, one half of the Malian musical duo Amadou & Mariam, has died at the age of 70. Known for fusing Malian music with classic rock influences, Bagayoko is survived by Mariam Doumbia, his wife and musical partner, and his three children.

According to Mali’s Minister of Culture, Mamou Daffé, Bagayoko had been battling an undisclosed illness for some time. Daffé revealed on television that the musician passed away in Mali’s capital, Bamako, which doubled as Bagayoko’s birthplace.

Bagayoko was born in 1954 and became blind at 15, the result of a congenital cataract. This led him to study at Mali’s Institute for the Young Blind, where he met Mariam Doumbia in 1976 while playing in the school’s Eclipse Orchestra. The two would eventually marry in the 1980s. Doumbia lost her own eyesight when she was 5 years old, and the duo was often labeled as “the blind couple from Mali.

Amadou Bagayoko, singer and guitarist in the Grammy-nominated Malian duo Amadou & Mariam, has died at the age of 70.

Mali’s Minister of Culture Mamou Daffé said on state TV that Bagayoko died Friday in the city of Bamako, his birthplace. Bagayoko’s family confirmed the death, adding that he “had been ill for a while,” though no cause of death was provided.

Bagayoko, who became blind at the age of 15 due to a congenital cataract, studied music at Mali’s Institute for the Young Blind, where he met his future wife and band mate,...

It’s about damn time! Someone is finally making a movie about Rosetta Tharpe, the gospel singer who transcended the art form to become one of Rock’ n’ Roll and R&b’s most influential pioneers. The biographical project hails from Amazon MGM Studios, with four-time Grammy award winner Lizzo (Hustlers) shredding the electric guitar to play Rosetta.

In addition to her starring role, Lizzo is producing the film with Kevin Beisler, Significant Productions’ Nina Yang Bongiovi, and Forest Whitaker. Natalie Chaidez and Kwynn Perry are writing the script, focusing on the life and times of Rosetta Tharpe, the mother of Rock’ n’ Roll. Simply put, there would be no Rock ‘n’ Roll without Tharpe’s influence. She inspired icons like Chuck Berry, Elvis Presley, Johnny Cash, and innumerable others to set fire to strings and give their souls to the musical art form.

Actual events inspire Lizzo’s Rosetta movie,...

One of the earliest influencers of Rock & Roll is getting a biopic based on her life and has a big name pop star set to portray her. Lizzo will play Sister Rosetta Tharpe in a musical biopic based on Tharpe’s life, an individual with knowledge of the project told IndieWire.

The film, titled “Rosetta,” is currently in development for Amazon MGM Studios, and Lizzo is also producing the project alongside Kevin Beisler, as well as Nina Yang Bongiovi and Forest Whitaker for their banner Significant Productions. The film will be written by Natalie Chaidez and Kwynn Perry. No director is attached.

Sister Rosetta Tharpe began her career in the ’30s with her gospel recordings and gained popularity by the ’40s, one of the first to blend gospel sounds with the electric guitar. But she became a true trailblazer who inspired countless rock legends, including Elvis Presley, Chuck Berry, Little Richard,...

Amid teasing his next album, Ed Sheeran has called on the U.K. government to secure longterm funding for music education in an open letter backed by Harry Styles, Elton John, Central Cee, and more.

The letter (which is available to read on Sheeran’s Instagram) was sent to Prime Minister Keir Starmer and U.K. government officials, asking them to commit £250 million (about $322 million) to “repair decades of dismantling music.” It notes that the music industry brings £7.6 billion into the U.K. economy each year, “yet the next generation is...

Eric Clapton at the BBC...

The charity organization Teenage Cancer Trust will continue its long-running series of benefit concerts in 2026 with a lineup curated by the Cure‘s Robert Smith. The musician takes over the role from co-founder Roger Daltrey, who stepped down last year after helming curation duties for 24 years.

“Teenage Cancer Trust does the most fantastic work, and it is a great honor — and a real thrill — to be asked to curate the 2026 shows at the Royal Albert Hall,” Smith shared in a statement. “I can promise it will be a very memorable week!

Over the decades, Carlos Santana has collaborated with jazz legends (Miles Davis, Wayne Shorter), rock guitarists (Eric Clapton, Stevie Ray Vaughan), blues greats (Buddy Guy, John Lee Hooker), R&b singers (Smokey Robinson, Lauryn Hill), and even country artists (Willie Nelson, Faith Hill). The results were sometimes worldwide hits like “Smooth” (with Rob Thomas) or “Maria Maria” (with Wyclef Jean), but others fell between the cracks and never found the audience they deserved.

His new compilation album, Sentient (out March 28), tries to fix this by taking overlooked collaborations with Michael Jackson,...

The Saturday Night Live “host who doubles as musical guest” doesn’t have a great track record. Sure, we get the occasional Ariana Grande showing off her Nick Kid chops, but more often we’re subjected to one-dimensional pop stars looking to cross over into acting careers. Can Bad Bunny, Halsey or Charli Xcx conquer new worlds? Usually not. Sometimes they’re okay, but okay shouldn’t be the bar. Isn’t being Jack Harlow enough? Does Megan Thee Stallion have to prove she’s Megan Thee Comedian?

But sometimes, we’re treated to someone like Lady Gaga. Fresh off her Worst Actress Razzie nomination for Joker: Folie à Deux, Gaga fronted one of SNL50’s best episodes of the season. While none of the sketches were instant classics, SNL served up a consistently satisfying show by leaning on the host’s ability to channel the fizziest, most talented kid in the high school musical.

A day after her latest album, Mayhem, was released, Lady Gaga reminded Saturday Night Live that she can sing.

“I know you might be thinking I’m here to promote my album, Mayhem, but I’m actually here to remind you I’m an amazing actor,” she said during her monologue.

But, it turned out, Gaga was in full voice during the sketches.

After riding across New York on an electric suitcase in the opening sketch alongside Marcello Hernandez, Gaga teamed with Bowen Yang for a parody duet. Dressed in a red dress, the pair mocked up their own version of Eric Clapton’s “Wonderful Tonight.”

“It’s later that evening and we’re wasted in Times Square,” sings Yang. “So, I eat a full Big Mac and I shave off my body hair,” sings Gaga. “And then she bites me on both my nipples left and right, and I...

It’s springtime, and love is in bloom on Saturday Night Live… with a little help from Eric Clapton.

Lady Gaga and Bowen Yang played a couple on a first date in a sketch on this week’s SNL, with the two teaming up for a duet of the Clapton classic “Wonderful Tonight.” The date got increasingly bizarre, though, as the two of them got to know each better. Gaga’s character Janelle warned Yang’s soul patch-sporting Gianfranco that “if you’re hoping to get me into bed tonight, you’ll be disappointed.” But then she clarified: “I’ll sleep with you.

Attention, MTV Generation, your ship has come in! Paramount+ is opening the floodgates to bring classic episodes of MTV Unplugged, VH1 Storytellers, and CMT Crossroads to the streaming platform. Over 50 episodes of MTV Unplugged were recently added, and there are dozens of episodes of VH1 Storytellers and CMT Crossroads to experience and explore.

According to Paramount+, many episodes “haven’t been available in 20+ years.” The MTV Unplugged offerings alone are a reason to consider getting a Paramount+ subscription, with iconic performances from bands like Nirvana, Alice in Chains, Tori Amos, Staind, Korn, The Cranberries, Aerosmith, Alicia Keys, Duran Duran, and more up for grabs. MTV Unplugged is a legendary series of performances in unique and intimate settings, typically with acoustic versions of classic songs performed for the first time.

Meanwhile, VH1 Storytellers is similar to MTV Unplugged in that it’s a concert series in an intimate setting. However, the...

“I guarantee you I will screw this song up,” Kurt Cobain told the crowd before Nirvana launched into their stirring cover of David Bowie’s “The Man Who Sold the World” on MTV Unplugged back in 1993. Over 30 years later, the band’s legendary acoustic performance has finally landed on streaming services, along with several other memorable episodes from the groundbreaking concert series.

At a Glance: Where to Watch...

Paramount+ is ready to rock — and they've released over 125 episodes of musical performances to its streaming service to prove it. Coming at you from the other Viacom-owned properties like MTV Unplugged, VH1 Storytellers, and CMT Crossroads, many of the episodes haven't been seen since they first aired. And with a list of performances that includes the likes of Elton John, Neil Young, Mariah Carey, Pearl Jam, Bob Dylan, and even Nirvana's now-iconic November 1993 performance — which aired a mere seven months before the singer Kurt Cobain died — the list is a treasure trove for any music fan.

According to a press release from the streamer, more than 70 of the episodes have not been available to the public for more than 20 years. And, considering how much purging of content Paramount Global has done over the years, it's a relief to see that some things still get saved in the digital age.

A massive trove of live performances from the late-Nineties/early-Aughts glory days of music television has finally made it to the streaming era, with Paramount+ uploading old episodes of MTV Unplugged, CMT Crossroads, and VH1 Storytellers.

As Billboard notes, these collections aren’t entirely comprehensive, with random episodes and full seasons missing here and there for all three programs. Nevertheless, there’s still a deep assortment of classic performances to dig through, including most of the episodes that appeared on Rolling Stone’s list of the 15 Best Episodes of MTV Unplugged.

Paramount+ has opened up its vault of classic MTV Unplugged episodes. Over 50 episodes of the live performance series have been added to the streamer, alongside dozens more episodes of VH1 Storytellers and CMT Crossroads.

According to a press release, many of the episodes “haven’t been available in 20+ years.” Coming from Seasons 1-8 and 10-13, the MTV Unplugged episodes include iconic performances from Nirvana, Pearl Jam, Paul McCartney, Oasis, R.E.M., Alanis Morissette, Alice in Chains, and Bob Dylan.

Meanwhile, the VH1 Storytellers episodes are taken from Seasons 1-9, 11-13,15, and 16, featuring standouts like David Bowie, Bruce Springsteen, Tom Petty & the Heartbreakers, Alicia Keys, and Elton John.

The word "legend" is thrown around frivolously in pop culture, but there are only a handful of musicians that genuinely achieve a status so acclaimed that their impact lives on for decades beyond their lifespans. On the list is undoubtedly the King of the Delta Blues, Robert Johnson. The singer only recorded 29 songs during his life, tragically dying at the young age of 27 in 1938. However, his legacy is one that would go on for years to come — earning a place in the Rock of Roll Hall of Fame in 1986 — influencing some of the most established artists in the world today including the likes of the Rolling Stones, Eric Clapton, Led Zeppelinand Jimi Hendrix. In fact, he was so widely hailed that the myth of his time was that he sold his soul to the Devil for his mastery of the guitar. Now, many decades on from Johnson's death, the first...

Exclusive: Jesse Collins Entertainment and Concord Originals are partnering on a biopic of Robert Johnson, the influential musician nicknamed the King of the Delta Blues.

The project will mark the first authorized narrative feature on Johnson, a figure famous for his culture-defining influence on rock legends like the Rolling Stones, Eric Clapton and Led Zeppelin. Ridgeway Wilson (Black Girls Rock!) is set to write the script.

Born in Mississippi in 1911, Johnson pursued his passion for music partly as a way to avoid the sharecropper lifestyle prescribed to him by the American South. He took the tortuous lifestyle that came with being a Black man in that time and place and transformed his personal experience into music of universal relevance and global reach. When he died at 27, allegedly murdered by the jealous boyfriend of a former lover, his few recordings debuted posthumously at Carnegie Hall. He was inducted into the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame,...

Frank Sinatra was the odds-on favorite to be the big winner at the inaugural Grammy Awards in 1959, but — perhaps as an early indicator that things wouldn’t always go to plan at the Grammys — ‘Ol Blue Eyes lost out on both Record of the Year and Song of the Year.

The music industry’s most recognized awards were established in 1958 by the National Academy of Recording Arts and Sciences in the United States.

The first Grammy ceremony was held on May 4, 1959, with only 28 categories, a number that since has swelled past 100 and now settled at 91. It was attended by many of music’s elite. Sinatra, Sammy Davis Jr., Dean Martin, Gene Autry, Johnny Mercer, Henry Mancini and André Previn gathered for a black-tie dinner and awards presentation inside the Grand Ballroom of the Beverly Hilton.

Back in the Eighties and Nineties, the release of a major rock star memoir was a fairly uncommon event. Noteworthy ones like George Harrison’s I, Me, Mine (1980), Iggy Pop’s I Need More (1982), and David Lee Roth’s Crazy From the Heat (1997) popped up every once in a while, but it wasn’t until the 2000s that this genre started making regular appearances on The New York Times bestseller list, thanks to landmark works like Anthony Kiedis’ Scar Tissue, Bob Dylan’s Chronicles: Volume One, Eric Clapton’s The Autobiography,...

Disney’s “A Complete Unknown” held its spot at the top of the U.K. and Ireland box office for a second weekend, earning £1.6 million ($2 million), according to numbers from Comscore. The cumulative total of the Bob Dylan biopic, starring Timothée Chalamet, now stands at $7.3 million.

Garth Hudson, the keyboardist, sax player and archivist for Rock and Roll Hall of Famers The Band whose farewell show with the group was memorialized in Martin Scorsese’s landmark documentary The Last Waltz, died Tuesday in his sleep at a nursing home in Woodstock, NY. He was 87.

The executor of his estate executor confirmed the news to the Toronto Star.

Born Eric Hudson on August 2, 1937, in Windsor, Ontario, and was trained in classical piano and music theory. He played in local bands before hooking up in the late 1950s with rockabilly singer Ronnie Hawkins’ The Hawks, which eventually would feature many of his Band mates.
