Rio de Janeiro’s mayor is reacting to claims from Brazilian soccer star Jorginho that Chappell Roan’s security upset the athlete’s young daughter.

In a post on X on Saturday (March 21), Rio Mayor Eduardo Cavaliere wrote that the 28-year-old pop star will never perform at Todo Mundo no Rio while he remains in office and extended an invitation for the athlete’s 11-year-old daughter to attend the upcoming event as an honored guest.

“I mean that as long as I’m in charge of our city, this young lady @ChappellRoan will never perform at Todo Mundo no Rio!” Cavaliere wrote in Spanish. “I doubt that Shakira would do that! By the way, @FrelloJorginho your little one is already the guest of honor of the organization in May!”

Todo Mundo no Rio is a series of free international music events held on Copacabana Beach in Rio de Janeiro each May. The inaugural edition was headlined by Madonna in 2024, followed by Lady Gaga in 2025. Shakira is set to headline this year’s event on May 2.

Jorginho reacted to the mayor’s post with a pair of red heart emojis.

The mayor’s post follows a lengthy Instagram Story from the soccer star on Saturday, in which he said Roan’s security left his daughter in tears after an incident that morning at a São Paulo hotel.

In his post, Jorginho said his wife, Catherine Harding, and 11-year-old daughter were staying at a São Paulo hotel ahead of Roan’s headlining set at Lollapalooza Brazil when they spotted the singer at the hotel restaurant during breakfast.

“My daughter, like any child, recognised her, got excited, and just wanted to make sure it was really her,” the midfielder shared, noting she didn’t approach Roan or ask for anything.

He claimed the encounter quickly escalated when a security guard allegedly confronted his family, speaking “in an extremely aggressive manner” and accusing his daughter of “disrespect” and harassment, even threatening to file a complaint with the hotel, leaving his daughter “extremely shaken” and in tears.

On Sunday morning (March 22), Roan shared her side of the story on social media.

“I’m just going to tell my half of the story of what happened today with a mother and child who were involved with a security guard — who is not my personal security,” Roan said on her Instagram Story, lying in bed at the start of her video.

“I didn’t even see,” the singer continued. “I didn’t even see a woman and a child. Like, I did not. No one came up to me. No one bothered me. Like, I was just sitting at breakfast in my hotel. I think these people were staying at the hotel as well.”

Roan added, “I did not ask the security guard to go up to talk to this mother and child. They did not come up to me. They weren’t doing anything. It’s unfair for security to just assume someone doesn’t have good intentions. When they have no reason to believe, because there’s no action even taken.”

The pop star concluded her message, assuring viewers, “I do not hate people who are fans of my music. I do not hate children. That is crazy. I’m sorry to the mother and child that someone was assuming something, that you would do something and that if you felt uncomfortable, that makes me really sad. You did not deserve that.”

Mark Hoppus dropped a significant piece of news from the stage of the Sydney Opera House on Saturday night (March 21) — telling fans that Australian rock band Violent Soho are reuniting.

The blink-182 bassist was performing in Australia as part of his Fahrenheit-182 spoken-word storytelling tour when he made the announcement, before bringing out Violent Soho frontman Luke Boerdam and guitarist James Tidswell for an acoustic performance of blink-182’s “Dammit.”

“I wasn’t joking by the way, they really are getting back together,” Hoppus told the crowd, as per Blunt Mag.

The appearance marked the first time Boerdam and Tidswell had shared a stage since Violent Soho’s final show on September 10, 2022 at Fortitude Music Hall in Brisbane — nearly four years ago. Wall of Sound Neither band member addressed the crowd following the performance, and Violent Soho have not yet issued a public statement confirming a reunion.

The timing carries obvious significance. This month marks the tenth anniversary of WACO, Violent Soho’s landmark fourth album. Released in March 2016, the record debuted at No. 1 on the ARIA Albums Chart and dominated triple j’s Hottest 100, with all six singles making the countdown.

Tracks like “Viceroy,” “Like Soda” and “Blanket” helped define Violent Soho as one of the most important Australian rock bands of the decade. A limited edition vinyl pressing of the album was also announced this week.

“When we made WACO we weren’t thinking about anniversaries or legacy, we were just trying to capture where the band was after years of touring and having some momentum from the release of Hungry Ghost,” the band said in a statement about the reissue. “We created some awesome memories in the studio and really tried to push our sound further.”

Hoppus’ connection to Violent Soho stretches back over a decade. He publicly declared his fandom in 2014, tweeting his admiration for the band’s single “Covered in Chrome” before the two acts formally crossed paths at Good Things Festival in 2019, when Hoppus was touring with his side project Simple Creatures.

Hoppus’ Australian run also included a Melbourne show earlier in the week, where he brought out my Shark to perform “Dammit” alongside a snippet of their 2018 collaboration “Psycho.” The tour wraps in Auckland next week.

An encounter with Chappell Roan‘s security in São Paulo, Brazil, left pro soccer player Jorginho’s 11-year-old daughter — a fan of the singer who planned to see her perform at Lollapalooza Saturday night (March 21) with her mother — “extremely shaken,” the defensive midfielder alleges in a complaint posted on Instagram before the show.

“I went through a very upsetting situation with my family earlier today,” Jorginho wrote (in both Spanish and English) in an Instagram Story in which he tagged Roan’s account.

Jorginho says his wife, Catherine Harding, and daughter were staying at a São Paulo hotel ahead of Roan’s headlining set on Saturday. By chance, they spotted the pop star at the hotel restaurant where they were having breakfast.

“This morning, my daughter woke up incredibly excited, she even made a sign because she was so happy to see an artist she really admires, or used to admire,” he shared.

“During breakfast, the artist walked past their table. My daughter, like any child, recognised her, got excited, and just wanted to make sure it was really her. And the worst part is she didn’t even approach her. She simply walked past the singer’s table, looked to confirm it was her, smiled, and went back to sit with her mum. She didn’t say anything, didn’t ask for anything,” wrote Jorginho.

“What happened next was completely disproportionate,” he claimed.

“A large security guard came over to their table while they were still having breakfast and began speaking in an extremely aggressive manner to both my wife and my daughter, saying that she shouldn’t allow my daughter to ‘disrespect’ or ‘harass’ other people. … He even said he would file a complaint against them with the hotel, while my 11-year-old daughter was sitting there in tears. My daughter was extremely shaken and cried a lot,” Jorginho said.

Billboard reached out to a representative for Roan for comment, but did not receive a response at press time. (Roan was taking the stage Saturday night at São Paulo’s Autódromo de Interlagos.)

“It was just a child admiring someone,” Jorginho concluded in his Instagram post.

“It’s sad to see this kind of treatment coming from those who should understand the importance of fans. At the end of the day, they are the ones who build all of this. I sincerely hope this serves as a moment of reflection. No one should have to go through this, especially a child,” he wrote before directing his words at Roan: “WITHOUT YOUR FANS, YOU WOULD BE NOTHING. AND TO THE FANS, SHE DOES NOT DESERVE YOUR AFFECTION.” See Jorginho’s full statement via his Instagram Stories.

Earlier this month, Roan was seen self-documenting her experience being surrounded by a horde of autograph seekers and photographers while in Paris.

“I’m just trying to go to dinner, and I’ve asked these people several times to get away from me,” she was heard saying to her phone, via a video filmed and uploaded online by an onlooker.

“This person I’ve asked several times to go away, and they will not,” the artist said at the time, while capturing video of someone who continued to ask her for an autograph despite the confrontation. “They’re hiding their face, because they’re ashamed.”

Roan was also heard saying that she felt “disregarded as a human” amid “all the people that are completely disregarding my boundaries,” and added, “All of you, I’m asking you kindly to please leave me alone and stop following me and harassing me. No, I’m not gonna sign. This is what it’s like, if you were wondering how it is.”

Roan, whose debut album, The Rise and Fall of a Midwest Princess, reached No. 2 on the Billboard 200 in 2024, most recently released new music last year — a pair of Hot 100 hits, “The Giver” and “The Subway.”

Police body cam footage from Justin Timberlake’s 2024 DWI arrest in Sag Harbor, New York, has been released.

On Friday (March 20), Sag Harbor police provided the redacted footage to news outlets that had submitted public records requests. The 45-year-old singer had initially sued to block the release of the footage but later agreed to the redactions as part of a settlement.

Timberlake was arrested in June 2024 on suspicion of driving while intoxicated. He ultimately pled guilty to a lesser impaired-driving charge and was sentenced to 25 hours of community service. He also recorded a public service announcement about the dangers of drinking and driving, urging, “Even if you’ve had one drink, don’t get behind the wheel of a car.”

TMZ was among the first outlets to release the body cam footage, which shows the pop superstar struggling during a series of sobriety tests after being pulled over in a BMW SUV on the side of the road.

“Guys, I’m just following my friends back to my house,” he’s heard saying in slowed-down speech. “I’m not doing anything. I’m just following my friends back to my house.”

Timberlake is later instructed by officers to walk a straight line using nine heel-to-toe steps. “Sorry, I’m a little nervous,” the musician says, taking more steps than asked. During another test, in which he’s asked to lift one foot six inches off the ground and count aloud, Timberlake says, “Sorry, my heart is racing,” adding, “These are, like, really hard tests.” He is later placed in handcuffs and arrested.

In legal papers filed on March 2, Timberlake’s lawyers said the arrest footage depicted him in an “acutely vulnerable state” and that its release would “serve no legitimate public interest.” A Long Island judge ordered police not to release the videos until a court review could be completed.

In a statement shared with Billboard on March 20, the Village of Sag Harbor said, “We are pleased that this matter has now been resolved and the village will be able to comply with its statutory obligation to release the material that is subject to disclosure.”

“From the beginning of this matter, after Mr. Timberlake’s arrest, the village has attempted to comply with the mandates of the Freedom of Information Law,” the statement reads. “As would be true in any case involving records or video footage from our police department, such material is reviewed and redacted to address public and officer safety concerns as well as personal privacy considerations.”

Two more acts from the cancelled Bluesfest 2026 lineup have confirmed they are pressing ahead with their Australian tours.

The Wailers and The Pogues both announced updated plans on Saturday (March 21), joining Sublime and Counting Crows in reassuring fans that their runs would continue despite the Easter festival’s collapse.

The Wailers have announced a new string of intimate East Coast dates, now presented by Noisy Group, with shows in Gosford, Sydney, Port Macquarie, Coffs Harbour and Brunswick Heads running through Easter weekend. A previously announced Melbourne date has been removed from the itinerary.

The band’s 2026 tour marks the 50th anniversary of Rastaman Vibration — Bob Marley’s landmark 1976 album that represented the commercial breakthrough of reggae in the United States. Rastaman Vibration peaked at No. 8 on the Billboard 200, making it the first Bob Marley release to reach the top 10, and spawned “Roots, Rock, Reggae” — the only Marley single to reach the Billboard Hot 100.

The Wailers are led by Aston Barrett Jr., son of legendary bassist Aston “Familyman” Barrett, alongside vocalist Mitchell Brunings.

The Pogues have also confirmed their Australian and New Zealand tour is going ahead as planned, adding a new Brisbane show at Fortitude Music Hall on April 2.

Tickets for the new date go on sale Monday, March 23 at 10 a.m. AEST via Ticketmaster. The Celtic punk band’s tour marks the 40th anniversary of Rum, Sodomy & the Lash, their celebrated 1985 second album. Original members James Fearnley, Jem Finer and Spider Stacy are performing alongside a lineup that includes Daragh Lynch, Iona Zajac, John Francis Flynn and Lisa O’Neill.

The confirmations come amid broader concern about the financial fallout of Bluesfest’s collapse for international touring acts. Counting Crows frontman Adam Duritz warned this week that many acts on the bill had likely not received upfront payment for their festival appearances, and that without the anchor fee, some would be forced to cancel their entire Australian runs.

Bluesfest, which had been scheduled for April 2–5 at Byron Events Farm, was cancelled on March 13 citing rising costs and soft ticket demand, with a liquidator appointed to manage financial matters.
