Post Malone called off Saturday night’s concert in Boston due to pain that brought him to the hospital.

“Boston, I love y’all so f—ing much,” he wrote to fans on his social media accounts on Sept. 24, just before a scheduled performance at the city’s TD Garden. “On tour, I usually wake up around 4 o’clock PM, and today I woke up to a cracking sound on the right side of my body. I felt so good last night, but today it felt so different than it has before. I’m having a very difficult time breathing, and there’s like a stabbing pain whenever I breathe or move.”

“We’re in the hospital now, but with this pain, I can’t do the show tonight,” Malone said. “I’m so f—ing sorry. Everyone’s tickets for tonight’s show will be valid for the reschedule that we’re planning right now. Once again, I’m so f—ing sorry, I love y’all so much. I feel terrible, but I promise I’m going to make this up to you. I love you Boston, I’ll see you soon. I’m so sorry.”

TD Garden also shared the news on Twitter, noting that the show was “being postponed due to unforeseen circumstances.”

The concert cancelation comes a week after taking a nasty spill during a show in St. Louis on Sept. 17. Malone accidentally fell into an open trap door while on stage performing his Billboard Hot 100 chart-topper “Circles.”

“Whenever we do the acoustic part of the show, the guitar’s on the guitar stand and it goes down,” he’d explained in a short video on on Twitter. “And there’s this big a– hole, so I go around there and I turn the corner and I bust my a–. Winded me pretty good; got me pretty good.”

He said he was taken to the hospital at the time and given a clean bill of health, as well as some pain medication “so we can keep kicking a– on the tour.” Manager Dre London added that Malone didn’t break anything, bud did suffer bruised ribs.

“F U Hole,” Posty wrote a couple days later on Instagram, where he posted a performance picture in which he’s giving the middle finger to the stage shaft.

Pink Floyd co-founder Roger Waters has canceled concerts planned in Poland amid outrage over his stance on Russia’s war against Ukraine, Polish media reported Saturday (Sept. 24).

An official with the Tauron Arena in Krakow, where Waters was scheduled to perform two concerts in April, said they would no longer take place.

“Roger Waters’ manager decided to withdraw … without giving any reason,” Lukasz Pytko from Tauron Arena Krakow said Saturday in comments carried by Polish media outlets.

The website for Waters’ This Is Not a Drill concert tour did not list the Krakow concerts previously scheduled for April 21-22.

City councilors in Krakow were expected to vote next week on a proposal to name Waters as a persona non grata, expressing “indignation” over the musician’s stance on the war in Ukraine.

Waters wrote an open letter to Ukrainian first lady Olena Zelenska early this month in which he blamed “extreme nationalists” in Ukraine for having “set your country on the path to this disastrous war.” He also criticized the West for supplying Ukraine with weapons, blaming Washington in particular.

Waters has also criticized NATO, accusing it of provoking Russia.

Former Disney CEO Bob Iger and Star Wars composer John Williams are the latest Hollywood industry members to receive an honorary knighthood.

The honor grants both entertainment titans with the title of KBE, which is more formally known as Knight Commander of the Civil Division of the Most Excellent Order of the British Empire. Bestowed by Queen Elizabeth II, who died on Sept. 7 at the age of 96, Iger and Williams are just two among a larger 2022 class of approved honorary British awards.

Iger, who received his honor as part of his contributions to U.S.-U.K. relations, remembered the queen and her “extraordinary life and service” in a statement.

“It is truly special and one of the great honors of my life to have the honorary Knight of the British Empire conferred on me by her before she passed,” he continued. “Our two nations share a strong bond, which I have seen up close over many years through my deep personal and professional connections to the United Kingdom. I have great affection for the people of the UK, and have always appreciated and been inspired by their extraordinary contributions, particularly in the creative arts.”

Williams was honored separately for his services to film music. The KBE honor is typically given to non-Britons who have made important contributions to the relations between Britain and their own country.

Iger led the Walt Disney Company for 15 years between 2005 and 2020, serving as the chief executive officer as well as the chairman of the Board and executive chairman. Williams, a legendary, award-winning composer and conductor, has frequently collaborated with Steven Spielberg and worked on a number of iconic Hollywood scores beyond Star Wars, including Jurassic ParkHarry Potter and Indiana Jones.

The honors make Iger and Williams among the last people to receive the honor from the late queen. Previous recent recipients include Bono, Ralph Lauren and Rod Stewart.

The Hollywood Reporter has reached out to Williams’ reps for comment.

BEVERLY HILLS — After years of pandemic postponements, Irving and Shelli Azoff were feted by the Wallis Annenberg Center for the Performing Arts in Beverly Hills on Wednesday night, with a local who’s-who gala of their family, friends and supporters.

Only, Shelli wasn’t there.

Mrs. Azoff, Irving’s wife of more than four decades and business partner on a variety of projects, was home sick with COVID-19. And while it was surely disappointing, somehow, it was hardly surprising. In true power couple fashion, the Azoffs brought in about as high-profile substitute as you can get: Kris Jenner, the Kardashian-Jenner family matriarch who has been a longtime friend of the family. (“I’d say she was the best manager if the world if I was at any other event,” said James Corden, who emceed the presentation.) And, as Jenner told the audience, this was a somehow fitting turn of events.

“Let’s be honest, this is the most Shelli Azoff move of all time,” said Jenner, who acted as a stand-in to receive the night’s honor with Irving. “She insisted that each and every one of you … come here tonight. She tortures us about everything, we’re scared if we don’t come because we’re going to get so much in trouble, but Shelli’s not here, she’s devastated to not be here tonight.”

Even without Shelli’s physical presence, the event was an overwhelming success for the Azoffs and The Wallis, as the performance center is commonly referred to. Together, they raised $2.6 million to support education, access, participation, equity and inclusion across a variety of programs there, with 340 guests in attendance contributing anywhere from $1,000 per ticket to $100,000 for the Platinum Patron package (which featured 10 tickets). Irving’s clients Meghan Trainor, Gwen Stefani and John Fogerty of Creedence Clearwater Revival all performed to close the evening, which also included a buffet dinner. Ellen DeGeneres and After years of pandemic postponements, Irving and Shelli Azoff were feted by the Wallis Annenberg Center for the Performing Arts in Beverly Hills on Wednesday night, with a who’s-who gala of their family, friends and supporters. were there, as well as CAA managing partner Rob Light, Netflix CEO Ted Sarandos, Cindy Crawford and Rande Gerber, Giant Music chief Shawn Holiday, Full Stop Management co-CEO Brandon Creed and, naturally, his partner and Irving’s son, Jeffrey. (That same night, Jeffrey’s client Harry Styles, wrapped a 15-show run at New York’s Madison Square Garden, becoming just the third musician ever to have a banner raised to rafters in his honor.)

Additionally, a video presentation honoring the power couple also included John Mayer, Adam Levine, Judd Apatow, Jon Bon Jovi, Universal Music Group CEO Lucian Grainge, Kim Kardashian and Kendall and Kylie Jenner.

Even if Shelli wasn’t in attendance, that did not excuse her from some mild roasting. While Corden noted the superstar manager’s prowess, he also razzed his wife’s savvy business acumen. “Irving has worked with everyone: The Eagles, Nicki Minaj, Maroon 5,” he said. “He’s touched every single corner of the music business. Let’s put it this way: If you snorted cocaine off a CD case in the ’90s, Irving Azoff produced that CD. And if the cocaine was good, you got it from Shelli.”

Corden continued: “As I stand onstage, hosting this event, and I think about Shelli, it reminds me of something my father told me when I was young. He said, ‘Son, there is no such thing as a favor from Shelli Azoff that won’t at one point be called in.’”

But most of all, the theme of the evening was incredibly heartfelt, honoring Irving’s success and Shelli as the woman behind Irving’s success — while she has plenty of her own, as well. (“But I love Shelli, I love Irving, I love Shelli more than I love Irving — and I think that’s true of all of us tonight,” said Corden.) While Irving and Shelli got incredible praise from their friends, family and Irving’s star clients, it was Mayer who made a promise he may wind up regretting: “You know what? 30%,” he said, referencing the cut his manager would take. “30% to the both of you.”

John Legend shared that he’s “cautiously optimistic” about the new baby he’s expecting with wife Chrissy Teigen in an interview with Good Morning Britain on Friday (Sept. 23).

The “Ordinary People” singer described the loss of his last pregnancy as a sobering experience.

“Whenever you lose a pregnancy, it is always cautious optimism when you are pregnant again,” said Legend. “You never know what could happen, and you have experienced that tragedy of losing one … so your optimism is a little bit tempered by that.”

The couple announced the loss of their third child, Jack, at just 20 weeks old on Instagram in September 2020. In the post, Teigen told followers she had to be hospitalized after a month of excessive bleeding. Two years later, Teigen specified that she had to undergo a life-saving abortion when carrying Jack, after realizing he would not survive.

Teigen announced in August that she was expecting another child on Instagram, debuting her new baby bump.

“1 billion shots later (in the leg lately, as u can see!) we have another on the way,” Teigen wrote in her caption. “Every appointment I’ve said to myself, ‘ok if it’s healthy today I’ll announce’ but then I breathe a sigh of relief to hear a heartbeat and decide I’m just too nervous still.”

Despite Teigen’s nerves, hope is on the horizon. According to Legend, “Everything’s been great so far.”

Legend released his eighth studio album Legend on Sept. 9 through Republic Records, sharing that “vulnerability of pain, praise, and healing” informed much of the record.

Bruno Mars is already booked for New Year’s Eve! The Grammy winner is slated to perform two shows in Las Vegas on Dec. 30 and 31.

The New Year’s Eve performances will take place at Dolby Live at Park MGM Grand. Tickets went on sale Friday (Sept. 23) and are currently priced at $575 and up on Ticketmaster.

The 36-year-old singer is no stranger to Sin City, but he’s usually not onstage alone. Mars and Anderson .Paak wrapped up their Silk Sonic residency at the Park MGM last month.

The New Year’s Eve shows will be the first time that Mars has hit the stage for a solo concert in the U.S., since Silk Sonic released their debut single “Leave the Door Open” last year. His last solo album was 24K Magic, released in 2016. The multi-platinum album spawned singles such as “That’s What I Like,” “Finesse,” “Versace on the Floor” and the title track.

Before he takes on Vegas, the “Uptown Funk” singer will head down under to perform at the opening of Australia’s newly rebuilt Allianz Stadium in Sydney on Oct. 14 and 15. Mars previously sold out three tours in Australia, and as if he’s not already busy enough, the Hawaii native launched his own rum brand, SelvaRay, earlier this year. SelvaRay retails for $35 and up and is available in white rum, chocolate rum, coconut rum and the limited edition Owner’s Reserve. The rum is packaged in an eye-catching bottle featuring a gold logo with matching script, and a round cork stopper.

“The bottle needs to reflect what’s [inside] and just the spirit around it,” Mars told The Hollywood Reporter in May. “Because when I tasted it, all of a sudden, I felt like I was sparkling. For me, personally, it’s the perfect thing after I’ve had a hard day, I want to smile, I want to listen to some music, or celebrate with my friends. So with rum, it’s a very uplifting, upbeat feeling.”

After SEVENTEEN wrapped the U.S. leg of their Be the Sun world tour, member Jun took no time to release a new solo track that keeps fans hot even as temperatures are cooling down.

“Limbo” is the new single from Jun, the Chinese-born K-pop star who is one of the standout performers and dancers in SEVENTEEN, released in both Korean and Chinese. While Jun has previously focused on ballads and acoustic tracks when it comes to solo tracks, “Limbo” delivers his seductive side. The star purrs, “Listen, I’ve been looking for the love/ I wanna hear your voice/ You know what I mean?” over grinding, electro-pop production.

The accompanying music video is equally bewitching. From rocking latex gloves and a crop top to giving his best sexy vampire character, Jun’s looks throughout the visual are only outdone by his performance skills where he leads a troupe of female dancers through a series of full-body squats, slides and spins. Jun is one of four members in SEVENTEEN’s splinter “Performance Team,” with his natural stage skills on full display in “Limbo.”

“Limbo” marks the third digital single from Jun through his label at PLEDIS Entertainment. Both released in 2021, his ballad “Crow” and acoustic-leaning “Silent Boarding Gate” were in only in Chinese and illuminated his more tender side. As a co-writer and composer for “Limbo” as well, Jun continues to show why he’s an ever-growing, global artist in the making.

Amid the recent Adam Levine cheating allegations, Adam DeVine’s similar name got him caught in the crossfire.

The Mike and Dave Need Wedding Dates comedian took to Instagram on Friday (Sept. 23) to assure fans that he did not cheat on his wife, actress Chloe Bridges. “Just want to post this and say that my wife @chloebridges and I are doing great and going strong. I am not Adam Levine. He’s a different guy and a worse singer,” he joked alongside a seaside selfie with his wife, before adding the jab, “We are however naming our future baby Sumner.”

The last sentence was a reference to one of the alleged DMs the Maroon 5 singer sent 23-year-old Instagram model Sumner Stroh, asking if it would be OK to name his upcoming third child with wife Behati Prinsloo “Sumner” if it’s a boy.

On Monday, Stroh claimed that she had an affair with Levine via a now-viral TikTok video. “At the time, I was young, I was naïve and quite frankly I feel exploited. I wasn’t in the scene like I am now, so I was definitely easily manipulated,” she said. She claimed their fling lasted for a year, adding that Levine gave her the impression that his marriage to Prinsloo “was over.”

“A lot is being said about me right now and I want to clear the air,” Levine wrote in an Instagram Story in which he dismissed claims he stepped out on his marriage. “I used poor judgement in speaking with anyone other than my wife in ANY kind of flirtatious manner.”

“I did not have an affair, nevertheless, I crossed the line during a regrettable period in my life. In certain instances it became inappropriate; I have addressed that and taken proactive steps to remedy this with my family,” he added.

Prinsloo has yet to publicly comment on the situation.
