William “Rusty” Golden, a musician, songwriter and son of The Oak Ridge Boys member William Lee Golden, died July 1, 2024 at his home in Hendersonville, Tennessee. He was 65.

Golden was born Jan. 3, 1959 in Brewton, Alabama and was the eldest son of William and Frogene Golden. By age 13, he was playing drums for the band The Rambos, featuring songwriter Dottie Rambo. He wrote his first song by setting one of his grandmother’s poems to music. After being inspired by an Elton John concert in 1972, Golden began learning to play piano and by 17, he was touring with Larry Gatlin as a keyboard player, before playing on studio recordings including Gatlin’s 1977 album Love Is Just a Game, Marty Stuart’s 1999 concept project Pilgrim and more.

A few years later, he moved further into the spotlight, forming The Boys Band, with the group recording their debut album which included the 1982 song “Runner” (the song’s video was the first produced in Nashville for MTV) and “Don’t Stop Me Baby (I’m on Fire),” which entered the Billboard Hot 100 chart. The group disbanded in 1984.

That same year, Golden earned an RIAA Gold record as a songwriter for The Oak Ridge Boys’ Bobbie Sue album, which encouraged Golden to start writing songs with Marc Speer. In 1985, Golden and Speer launched Golden Speer, which included Golden’s brother Chris Golden on lead vocals. By the following year, the label had shifted directions, with Rusty and Chris recording as the duo The Goldens and releasing the Billboard Hot Country Songs chart entries “Put Us Together Again” and “Sorry Girls.”

They moved to Capitol/SBK Records and issued the 1990 album Rush For Gold, which included the songs “Take Me Back (To the Country),” “Keep the Faith” and “Long Gone.” Rusty then returned to his gospel music roots, writing songs including the 2008 songs “What Salvation’s Done For Me” from The Booth Brothers, and Karen Peck & New River’s “I Want to Thank You.” He also released the solo albums Sober and Angels.

In 2020, Rusty and Chris teamed with William Lee Golden for the family band William Lee Golden and the Goldens. They were joined by brother Craig, nieces Elizabeth and Rebekah and nephew Elijah to create a three-generation family band. The group released a trio of projects—Country Roads: Vintage Country Classics, Old Country Church Gospel and Southern Accents: Pop & Country Rock. Last year, Rusty was honored for his musicianship when he was named keyboard player of the year at the Josie Music Awards.

William Lee Golden said in a statement, “This is the hardest thing ever for a father to have to face. I love family more than anything. Rusty was a great musician, a talented songwriter and a wonderful son. We appreciate your thoughts and prayers for the days ahead. I love you, son.”

Rusty Golden is preceded in death by his mother Frogene Normand, grandparents Luke & Rutha Mae Golden, and Elliot & Estelle Normand. He is survived by his father William Lee Golden (Simone), and brothers Craig Golden, Chris Golden (Marie), and Solomon Golden, as well as many nieces, nephews, other extended family members.

Glastonbury was both a romantic and professional outing for Dua Lipa, who both headlined the festival and enjoyed the event with boyfriend Callum Turner by her side.

And now that the weekend is over, the 28-year-old pop star shared a carousel of photos from her time on the grounds — featuring a couple sweet snaps with the Fantastic Beasts actor that mark the couple’s Instagram debut.

In one of the pictures, Turner appears to kiss Lipa’s head, one arm around her shoulder. In another, the pair lays together on the grass, engrossed in conversation with big smiles on their faces.

“dancing until you see the sunrise at stone circle is the glasto ritual,” she captioned the post, which also featured photos of the singer with friends as well as a video snippet of her headlining set.

In addition to Lipa, Coldplay and SZA also led the 2024 festival June 26-30. Plus, Camila Cabello, Avril Lavigne, Cyndi Lauper and dozens of other artists took the Glastonbury stage.

The “Levitating” singer and Turner have been rumored to be dating for months. In February, they attended a British Vogue party in London together followed by a BRIT Awards afterparty in March. By the time several fan cameras captured them holding hands at Glastonbury over the weekend, it had been pretty well established that the two stars are a couple.

Lipa’s headlining set at the festival comes about a month after her latest album Radical Optimism debuted at No. 2 on the Billboard 200, her highest peak to date. The musician has several tour dates slated across Europe throughout the summer, as well as a string of performances in Asia for November and December.

The “Houdini” artist also recently opened up about her political opinions, especially concerning her recent support for Palestine amid the ongoing Israel-Hamas conflict. “It’s always going to be met with a backlash and other people’s opinions, so it’s a big decision,” she told Radio Times last month. “I balance it out, because ultimately I feel it’s for the greater good, so I’m willing to [take that hit].”

LeBron James’ son Bronny James was selected by the Los Angeles Lakers last week and he’s paying tribute to Juice WRLD with his No. 9 jersey.

James was officially introduced as a Los Angeles Laker in a press conference on Tuesday (July 2) where he explained how the late rapper served as the inspiration behind his jersey number selection.

“Juice has been a big part of me keeping calm in some situations that I’ve been through. Just paying homage to him, especially cause he passed. It’s a really important thing for me.”

The Chicago native was a mental health advocate and vulnerably opened up about his battles with substance abuse, which helped Bronny navigate certain times in life with the spotlight on him as the teenage son of one of the best to ever pick up a basketball.

Back in 2022, Bronny got Juice WRLD’s “9 9 9” affirmations tattooed on his neck behind his ear. Juice explained to MTV News in 2018 that “9 9 9” stood for turning negatives in life into positives, which Bronny struck a chord with James.

“9 9 9 represents taking whatever ill, whatever bad situation, whatever struggle you’re going through and turning it into something positive to push yourself forward,” Juice told host Sway Calloway at the time.

Unfortunatley, Juice WRLD’s life was tragically cut short at the age of 21 when he passed away from an accidental overdose due to oxycodone and codeine toxicity after suffering a seizure at Chicago’s Midway Airport in December 2019.

Juice burst onto the hip-hop scene in early 2018 with massive anthems such as “All Girls Are the Same” and the Sting-interpolating “Lucid Dreams.” The latter reached No. 2 on the Hot 100.

LeBron reposted a photo of his son in the No. 9 Lakers jersey to his Instagram Story last week with an homage to the “Robbery” rapper: “999 @Bronny,” he wrote with several fire emojis.

If carrying the James name wasn’t enough pressure, Bronny will look to keep Juice’s message and legacy going while rocking the No. 9 this season for the Lakers.

Los Angeles drafted Bronny with the 55th pick in the second round of the 2024 NBA Draft last week to make good on LeBron’s desire to suit up with his son as Laker teammates this season.

You could say that Lily Allen is a multimedia artist. Following years of making music, acting and hosting a podcast, the 39-year-old star has unveiled a new business venture: selling pictures and videos of her feet on OnlyFans.

Allen recently launched her page on the subscription-based performance and so far has seven posts available for interested connoisseurs to unlock for $10 monthly. Via Instagram Stories on Tuesday (July 2), the “Smile” singer posted a sneak peek at her latest upload: a video of her bare feet resting beside a fountain in Italy.

“La dolce feeta,” she quipped, adding a link to her OnlyFans profile.

Billboard has reached out to Allen’s reps for further comment on the account.

The news comes about two weeks after Allen revealed on an episode of her podcast Miss Me? that she was considering selling foot content. “I have a lady that comes and does my nails,” she told co-host Miquita Oliver. “They informed me that I have five stars on WikiFeet, which is quite rare. My feet are rated quite highly on the internet.

“She said that I could make a lot of money from selling foot content on OnlyFans,” Allen added. “And I’m like, ‘Not no.’”

Based on her other recent posts on Stories, the “F— You” artist is currently on vacation with her husband, Stranger Things star David Harbour. In one photo, she tries on a wicker hat as the actor makes a silly face behind her.

Allen and her Miss Me? pod also recently made headlines for the star’s admission that she used to harbor “much resentment” toward her former manager, Sir Elton John. Why? She once poured her heart out to him in a heartfelt letter following their professional split in 2014, but was left with “a big Elton-shaped hole in my life” when the EGOT winner never responded.

His lack of acknowledgment suddenly made sense, however, when she moved to the U.S. years later. “When I moved here to America, I was unpacking and I found the letter,” she told Oliver on the show. “I never sent it! Elton, if you’re listening — which you’re probably not — I love you.”
