Luke Combs teases the release of a live concert film: “Man, I miss live music”

• No Comments • Country Music News

ABC/Image Group LAWith the return of in-person, large-scale live music still far in the future, Luke Combs took to social media this week to commiserate with his fans and offer something to tide them over.

“Sure I’m not the only one, but man, I miss live music,” the singer tweeted. “So I got to thinking — my team recorded the shows on my last tour. What would y’all think about me posting a full show to watch? All the camera angles and everything. Thought it may be pretty cool.”

The run in question is Luke’s 2019 Beer Never Broke My Heart Tour, a trek named for the anthemic, chart-topping single that he put out in May of that year. It was the first single off his record-breaking, hit sophomore project, What You See is What You Get, which would arrive in full that November.

“Beer Never Broke My Heart” was the first of four chart-topping singles to come off of What You See is What You Get, followed by “Even Though I’m Leavin’,” “Does to Me” and “Lovin’ on You.”

“Does to Me” was a collaboration with Eric Church, and the album also included a Brooks & Dunn duet, “1, 2 Many.”

Luke hasn’t yet shared many details about the release of his concert film footage. He didn’t indicate whether it would be free to watch, nor did he tell fans how they can watch it. However, the singer did share a date for his upcoming show.

“Maybe the night of Feb. 18?” he suggested in his Twitter message.

Life Rolls On is Florida Georgia Line’s fifth studio album to date. In addition to their work together, the duo told fans earlier this year that they’re also pursuing some projects independently. Brian says he’s at work on a solo album, while Tyler plans to collaborate with some other artists in the genre. He kicked off that venture last month, releasing his Tim McGraw duet, “Undivided.”

"I feel in a really good place" says Rebel Wilson post-breakup

• No Comments • Entertainment News

ABC/Rick Rowell(LOS ANGELES) — Rebel Wilson successfully undertook her “year of health,” dropping more than 60 pounds.  She’s taking her recent break-up from 29-year-old Anheuser-Busch heir Jacob Busch in stride, too. 

“Any kind of breakup is hard and not ideal,” the Pitch Perfect series star tells Extra.

“I feel like, I don’t know if it’s turning 40 or coming into your own… I feel in a really good place,” she says.  “I am so busy with work, doing [my new show] Pooch Perfect now, and I have three movies to shoot after this.”

Regarding her weight loss, Rebel says, “This is the first time I haven’t gained any weight back,” adding, “I think because I approached it from all areas.” In addition to walking a lot, Rebel said, “the biggest thing that I haven’t ever worked on was the emotional side, what I suffered from, I guess, as classical emotional eating… so I really worked on that side.”

Wilson tells Extra that the new Pooch Perfect show — a competition dog grooming series — hits close to home, as her family used to have a traveling dog grooming service. Pooch Perfect will debut March 30 at 8 p.m. on ABC.

"I got my name back" — 'Chappelle's Show' returns to Netflix, Dave reveals

• No Comments • Entertainment News

Sean Rayford/Getty Images(TEXAS) — (NOTE LANGUAGE) Almost two months ago, Dave Chappelle requested his comedy series, Chappelle’s Show be removed from Netflix, over issues of unfair compensation.

Now he said he’s changed his mind, after a new deal was made.

In a nearly 11-minute stand-up monologue posted to Instagram and YouTube Thursday, titled “Redemption,” the comic revealed that his show, which originally aired on Comedy Central, will be returning to Netflix Friday. 

“I know where my power lies,” said Chappelle after summarizing his dispute with Comedy Central.  “I asked you to stop watching the show and thank God almighty for you, you did,” Chappelle told the audience. “When you stopped watching it, they called me. I got my name back and I got my license back and I got my show back and they paid me millions of dollars. Thank you very much.”

The footage appears to be from Dave’s recent tour in Austin, Texas, which was cancelled late last month after he tested positive for COVID-19. 

“Now you guys might have seen in the news that I caught coronavirus recently and I did. Oops,” he admitted, noting that he tried his best to safe by “enduring invasive tests and wearing masks.”

Garth Brooks + Trisha Yearwood are quarantining for Valentine’s Day, after potential COVID-19 exposure

• No Comments • Country Music News

ABC/Image Group LAGarth Brooks and Trisha Yearwood have canceled all their planned appearances for the next two weeks, after news that someone they’ve had contact with has tested positive for COVID-19.

“Before you do any major television, they have you do pre-tests for COVID, then you have to do the final test,” Garth explained of the change of plans. “On the pre-test, our small little group all tested negative. On the final test, one of the people that were in our little group tested positive. So we decided not to risk anything.”

Instead, the country superstar couple will spend Valentine’s Day weekend — and the two weeks beyond — enjoying each other’s company at home, the singer goes on to say.

“The Queen and I will be quarantining…living on love…and testing every 72 hours,” Garth explains. “And our thoughts and prayers are with the one person that is in this group…and hope that’s as far as it goes, and hopefully we get past this thing.”

Most recently, Garth sang “Amazing Grace” at President Biden’s inauguration in January. Though you won’t be able to catch him at any live television events in the weeks ahead, you can see Garth and Trisha in their pre-recorded performance for the Grand Ole Opry’s 95th Anniversary TV special on NBC on Sunday.
