Two “Lost Boys” are better than one. True story. Just ask Phoebe Bridgers.

The California indie-rock presence is readying her return with a first album of solo material in six years, her third studio collection Lost Weekend (via Dead Oceans), due out Aug. 14.  

Too long to wait? Well, Bridgers covered that off by performing album cut “Lost Boys” on The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon, doing so with different arrangements on consecutive nights.

Without warning, Bridgers stopped by Fallon on Tuesday night to present the TV debut of “Lost Boys,” a refined alt-country number. Wearing an all-black ensemble, with her blonde hair styled with Hollywood glamor, Bridgers got the job done with a full band and a little help from some cute youngsters.

On it, she sings: “Lost boys / never grow up, never go home / lost boys / never spend their lunch money / lost boys / never grow up, never get old / lost boys, find me.”

On Wednesday night, Bridgers returned to the NBC studios for another hit of “Lost Boys,” this time an acoustic rendition. The second time around, Bridgers, seated with her three bandmates and none of the kids, gave “Lost Boys” some space to breathe. The acoustic cut hangs with a touch of melancholy.  

Following her two-night stand on Fallon, “Lost Boys (Acoustic)” dropped on streaming platforms.

Bridgers last month teased the forthcoming 16-track LP with an Instagram post, and shared its phantasmic black, blue and green cover art with an abstract rendering of her face at the center.

The singer, songwriter and musician hasn’t released an album of her own since 2020’s Punisher, which peaked at No. 43 on the Billboard 200, a career best. Before that came debut LP Stranger in the Alps, which reached No. 82 on the all-genres chart.

Since Punisher, the four-time Grammy winner has kept busy with an opening stint on Taylor Swift’s Eras Tour — on which she and the pop superstar would also sing their Red (Taylor’s Version) duet, “Nothing New,” during the main set — as well as her work with Lucy Dacus and Julien Baker on boygenius.

Bridgers’ unannounced back-to-back stints stints on late night TV follow surprise pop-up shows across the United States in May, culminating with a sold-out show at New York’s Madison Square Garden. 

According to reps, more than 300 global midnight album release parties will give fans an early listen to (and purchase of) Lost Weekend. For more details visit phoebebridgers.lnk.to/midnight-parties.

One month after The New York Knicks won the 2026 NBA Finals, ending a 53-year championship drought for the franchise, the team and its star players took a victory lap by sweeping the 2026 ESPY Awards. The show, fittingly, was held in New York for the first time in five years, this time at the David H. Koch Theater at Lincoln Center. The 2026 ESPYS aired live on the East Coast on Wednesday (July 15) at 8 p.m. ET/PT on ABC.

The Knicks won the ESPY for best team; Jalen Brunson won best athlete, men’s sports; best championship performance; and best NBA player; and teammate OG Anunoby’s tip-in in the NBA finals won for best play.

Other multiple winners were A’ja Wilson of the Las Vegas Aces, who won best athlete, women’s sports and best WNBA player; Shohei Ohtani of the Los Angeles Dodgers, who won best single-game performance and best MLB player; and Myles Garrett, who was traded from the Cleveland Browns to the Los Angeles Rams on June 1. Neither Wilson nor Ohtani was present at the show.

SNL star Marcello Hernández proved to be a charismatic and effective host. He was introduced as the show’s first Latino host in 25 years. (That would be since actor Jimmy Smits hosted the 2000 show.)

The Savannah Bananas opened the show with an entertaining variety performance. Hip-hop stars De La Soul, Ghostface Killah and Slick Rick did very abbreviated sets. The ESPYS spends its time on special awards and taped packages, often with a strong emotional pull.

Trailblazing former NBA player Jason Collins was posthumously honored with the Arthur Ashe Award for Courage; baseball legend Jim Abbott received the Jimmy V Award for Perseverance; and Scott Ruskan received the Pat Tillman Award for Service.

Presenters include both sports legends (Billie Jean King and Mike Tyson) and entertainment and media figures (Kevin Hart, DJ Khaled, Tracy Morgan and Good Morning America co-anchor Robin Roberts). Will Ferrell and mentalist Oz Pearlman provided entertainment.

SYDNEY, Australia — The Australian prime minister’s assurances that tech and AI companies can’t use copyright-protected works including consent, credit and compensation has been warmly welcomed by the international music publishers community.

Earlier, on Wednesday, prime minister Anthony Albanese addressed AI in a presentation at the University of Sydney, with a speech that left no doubt about the government’s position.

“No company should use Australian books, music, art or news to build or train AI without the artist’s control. That includes the artist’s control of the price and value of their work,” he remarked. “Anything less, is theft.”

Those comments put at ease an industry nervous that copyright projections could be carved out by a tech sector hungry to use music and creative works for AI purposes without licenses.

That won’t happen, Albanese insists. And the “implications are global,” notes John Phelan, director general of the Brussels-based International Confederation of Music Publishers (ICMP), which represents 90% of the world’s commercially released music and whose members include Universal Music Publishing Group, Sony Music Publishing, Warner Chappell Music, BMG, Kobalt, Reservoir and Concord Music Publishing, alongside thousands of other indie publishers.

“Our international industry fully agrees” with Albanese’s stance, Phelan adds, “and looks forward to continuing to build only those AI and music markets which are built wholly on consent, credit and compensation.”

ICMP’s Australasian affiliate AMPAL had lobbied against text and data mining exceptions, and signed the creative industries’ Open Letter to Government, along with ARIA, AIR, APRA AMCOS and other trade bodies and artists, calling on the federal government to reject any weakening of copyright protections.

“Australia holds something no other country possesses: more than sixty thousand years of First Nations culture,” reads the AI Open Letter. “Those songs, stories, images and languages are living cultural heritage. Any framework that weakens the protection of creative work puts that heritage at risk of being absorbed into AI systems in ways that are extractive, disrespectful and irreversible.”

Members from the association and other industry bodies visited Parliament House in Canberra earlier this month, in a united effort to get the message through. “If AI companies want to use music, they need permission, they need a license and they need to pay fairly,” AMPAL CEO Damian Rinaldi said at the time. “Licensing is already working. Australia should not weaken copyright to solve a problem the market is already solving.” 

Albanese agreed. And despite lobbying from Microsoft CEO Satya Nadella, Anthropic CEO Dario Amodei, Google and others, the government rejected the tech sector requests that music be used without permission, and pushed back on proposals for a fund for the use of creative industries’ work. 

In his speech this week, Albanese remarked that Australian writers, musicians, artists and journalists “must retain ownership and control of their work,” and that “our laws will spell that out, plain as day.” At the same time, Albanese announced the create of an “Office of AI,” operating within the department of prime minister and cabinet and facilitate the design of “Australian standards” for the technology.

Australia’s industry leaders have welcomed Albanese’s comments, while the ICMP’s Phelan thanked the the PM for delivering a “landmark and highly positive statement” on the issue.

Versatile. Joyful. Family. Sam Neill was all of those things and more to Jimmy Barnes, the great Australian rocker.

Neill, the Northern Ireland-born, New Zealand-raised actor who memorably led the way in scores of films, from ‘90s blockbuster Jurassic Park to Jane Campion’s Academy Award-winner The Piano, Event Horizon, Dead Calm, My Brilliant Career, the Peaker Blinders series, and many others, died Monday, March 13. He was 78.

“What a day it’s been. My dear friend Sam left us today,” writes Barnes, who boasts an unmatched 22 No. 1 albums in Australia, including 16 solo leaders and six with Cold Chisel. “I can’t believe we will no longer be eating great food together and sharing the odd glass of wine down at his winery, while laughing, singing and solving the problems of the world together.”

View this post on Instagram

Neill, he continues, “was a big part of our lives. He was family. He lifted our spirits when he walked in the room. Sam was everything he appeared to be on the screen. Caring, funny, intelligent, charming, honest, talented, the list could go on. He sat with me while I recovered in hospital and I sat with him when he needed me. We shared a lot in this life and for that, I will be always thankful. Rest easy, dear Sam. You are always in our hearts.”

Fellow Australian rockers The Cruel Sea remembered Neill for his “superb acting and his wonderful presence off screen,” and for those quirky videos that kept the flame burning for so many of us during the pandemic — including a Radiohead cover, performed on ukulele. “One of my great small joys through Covid and recent years was to follow him on Instagram. Such a funny and charming man full of humble Kiwi stoicism and humanity,” writes The Cruel Sea’s bass player Kenny Gormly.

Neill had friends everywhere, across the creative industries and into the halls of power. He attended the ARIA Hall of Fame ceremony in Sydney on June 11, a special guest of inductee and fellow Kiwi Jenny Morris.

Former New Zealand prime minister Jacinda Ardern inducted Morris on the night, and “had the profound joy of sitting with Sam Neill, talking about life, politics, and home,” she recounts in a social post. “He was such a thoughtful, curious, and decent person. Someone who was principled, unafraid of speaking his mind, and willing to take up a fight when he saw injustice. He was also an artist, and anyone who watched him perform knew he was someone special. We’ve lost another incredible kiwi, and I feel profoundly sad.”

Prior to his passing, Neill fought and beat an advanced blood cancer, Stage 3 angioimmunoblastic T-cell lymphoma, thanks to an innovative CAR T-cell therapy. He was cancer-free at the time of his death. However, his immune system was compromised by the treatment and the beloved actor succumbed to pneumonia, his agent has confirmed.

His death was confirmed in a post on his official Instagram account.

“It is with immense sadness that the whānau of Sam Neill share the news of his passing on Monday 13th July, in Sydney Australia,” the post reads. “Sam was surrounded by family and passed with the dignity that has characterised his whole life. The loss was sudden and unexpected but blessed by the fact that Sam remained cancer free. They would like to express their deepest gratitude to the staff at St Vincent’s Private Hospital for their incredible care. More details will be shared later, but for now, on behalf of the family, we ask that you respect their privacy as they navigate this immeasurable loss.”

Neill’s survivors include his children, Andrew, Tim and Elena, and six grandchildren.

Karol G’s got a few pranks up her sleeve — and sometimes her friends are the target.

The Grammy winner was part of Elle’s “Phoning It In” series, in which guest celebrities prank-call friends and family while listening to their reactions on speaker.

“I’m a huge pranker. I’m always pranking my team. They suffer a lot,” she admitted at the beginning of the episode, during which she called three people: her manager, Raymond Acosta; her friend and guest on the upcoming Viajando Por El Mundo Tropitour, Becky G; and her best friend, Daiky Gamboa, to whom she said she was postponing the tour to go “find love” on a TV show.

“I had the most random thing happen to me. Apparently, the team here is moving the whole tour around because something came up that’s supposedly 10 times better — me going on Love Island,” she said to Gamboa, who replied, “What are you talking about?”

Karol went on to explain that “There’s a show called Love Island,” and “it’s supposedly a show to find love.”

Gamboa interrupted by asking, “Wait, are you serious, or are you joking?” 

The Colombian artist confirmed, “I’m serious. Noah called me to tell me this was literally the coolest thing ever and that it would take my career to the next level.”

Gamboa then tells her she is too famous for the hit reality show. “No celebrity I know — at your level, anyway — has ever done anything like that. Ever,” he said.

“I’m calling you because you’re the one who always knows that whole celebrity world and everything, and I wanted you to tell me, because I’m really nervous and stressed,” Karol replied. 

“That’s a reality show like La Casa de los Famosos,” he replied, at which point Karol can be seen holding back a laugh. “No, no, no, no. I can’t even…I’m honestly in shock that they’re proposing that to you. I swear, I’m in shock.”

“No, but I said yes,” Karol replied in an anguished tone.

“Are you kidding me or what?” Gamboa inquired, making Karol break character and burst out laughing as she admitted it was a joke. 

“You got me, stupid,” he said. 

Karol is gearing up for the world tour, which is set to kick off July 24 in Chicago. On Tuesday (July 13), Venezuelan singer Elena Rose, Colombian singer Greeicy and Becky G announced that they will be opening guests for the artist on select dates of the U.S. leg of the 63-stadium run.

Tropicoqueta, Karol G’s fifth studio album, hit No. 1 on Billboard’s Top Latin Albums chart and No. 3 on the all-genre Billboard 200 following its release.

Upon the album’s debut, La Bichota shattered the record for a female artist by landing 20 simultaneous songs on Billboard’s Hot Latin Songs Chart. Of those 20 concurrent hits, 18 were brand-new debuts from the album.

Dave Kendall, the British VJ who helped bring the sounds of the alternative rock nation into millions of homes in the late 1980s and early 1990s as the host and guiding force behind MTV’s influential 120 Minutes, has died at age 68. The news was shared by fellow former MTV talking head and 120 Minutes host Matt Pinfield, who paid tribute to his friend and colleague in a post on Tuesday (July 14).

“Dave was one of the true believers,” wrote Pinfield on Instagram. “Long before alternative music found its way into the mainstream, he was there every week on 120 Minutes, introducing people to bands that would go on to define an era. He didn’t just host a show. He gave a home to music that deserved to be heard. He loved the music, respected the artists, and connected with fans in a way that always felt authentic. That’s a rare gift.” Pinfield gave no cause of death.

According to his bio, Kendall began his career as a journalist and editor, writing profiles and reviews for American and British newspapers and magazines including Melody Maker, Spin and the New York Post. After relocating from his native England to New York, he was hired by MTV to create 120 Minutes. He went on to spend seven years as a writer, producer, presenter and news reporter at the video music channel that once had tremendous star-making power.

In his role as host of 120 Minutes from 1988 to 1991, Kendall helped to promote a variety of alternative acts who went on to great fame, including premiering the video for Nirvana’s “Smells Like Teen Spirit” in September 1991. The show continued with Pinfield as host from 1995 to 1999, and then enjoyed a brief 2011-2012 revival, before being canceled by sister channel MTV2 in 2003.

Following his MTV run, Kendall went on to host and co-produce the nationally syndicated talk show Music Scoupe, as well as to host the internationally simulcast 1994 concert Soccer Rocks the Globe and anchor the Woodstock ’94 pay-per-view. In addition, Kendall worked extensively in radio, writing and hosting local and nationally syndicated shows. He also created an early video streaming site (alterworld), worked in content development at Soundbreak and had a seven-year DJ residency at New York’s Limelight; he released the mix CD A Voyage Into Trance, Volume 2, in 2002.

Kendall moved to Bangkok in 2011 to host and produce the travel show Destination Thailand. Beginning in 2017, he edited and wrote stories for the Bangkok Post.

The DC Council in Washington, D.C., has passed one of the most comprehensive ticketing regulation bills in the country. On Tuesday (July 15), the council voted unanimously to give final approval to The RESALE Act, which includes a host of consumer protections — from a resale cap of 10% on concert tickets to requiring ticket resellers to acquire a license if they advertise more than 50 tickets in a year.

Championed by councilmember Charles Allen, the RESALE Act includes several measures that have been proposed or enacted in various states across the U.S. This includes the 10% resale cap, ticket price transparency for fans — so buyers can see the full price of tickets from the beginning of the sale — and the banning of speculative ticket sales and advertising (speculative tickets are tickets that the reseller does not actually possess).

As of June 2026, 20 states across the U.S. have introduced similar legislation on resale and speculative ticketing. But D.C.’s coalition of advocates for the RESALE Act — including the National Independent Venue Association (NIVA) and the Fix the Tix Coalition, which is made up of more than 30 live music and event industry organizations and local promoters and venues — lobbied for additional laws not typically seen in similar bills around the country. Audrey Fix Schaefer, NIVA’s board president and director of communications for I.M.P., 9:30 Club and The Anthem in D.C., tells Billboard she hopes the RESALE Act will “become model legislation throughout the land.”

The RESALE Act will also require any ticket reseller that advertises 50 or more tickets a year to register with the district and obtain a license. According to advocates of the bill, requiring this will increase oversight and accountability in the secondary marketplace, as well as inform buyers if they’re purchasing from a professional reseller or a casual fan. When tickets are being resold on the secondary market, the seller will also be obligated to provide the original price of the primary ticket for purchasers to view.

“It is pretty phenomenal that the city thought this was important enough that they’re investing in a new section of the licensing office to” handle the licensing registrations, Fix Schaefer says. “They put it in the budget.”

The RESALE Act will also prohibit surveillance pricing, which prevents ticket sellers from using consumers’ personal data to manipulate or personalize prices. The bill ensures the District has the authority and resources necessary to hold bad actors accountable.

Councilmember Allen, who authored the RESALE Act, said in a statement, “People are sick of big tech wringing more and more money out of them. DC is a leader here and I expect many other jurisdictions to step in once they see we can save our residents money and keep more dollars in our local economy instead of propping up big tech.”

“Black Cat has always been proud of our city and its music scene, and is excited to see DC become one of the first places in the nation where bands can set concert prices with confidence and fans will be free from price gouging,” added Catherine Ferrando, vp and co-owner of independent D.C. venue Black Cat.

Following yesterday’s final Council approval, the RESALE Act will advance through the remaining steps of the District’s legislative process before it can take effect. The act will need to be signed by Washington, D.C., mayor Muriel Bowser, who has shown support for the bill. Once a bill is signed by the mayor, D.C. legislation is shared with both chambers of the U.S. Congress, which have 30 days to either veto the legislation or allow it to become law without interference. If the mayor signs the RESALE Act and Congress doesn’t block it, the law would go into effect on Jan. 1, 2027.
