Jane Inc. began as both a product of lockdowns and a statement of liberation. The pandemic-spawned project has allowed its CEO -Toronto-based artist Carlyn Bezic-to present a more stylistically promiscuous, lyrically provocative identity separate from her collaborative pursuits in the U.S. Girls universe, reinventing this seasoned indie axe-slinger as an all-seeing art-pop auteur equally enamored with electro-disco and bossa nova, like a DIY Madonna who never left the Danceteria.

"I'm heartbroken to share, due to serious illness, I am unable to perform and very regrettably have to cancel our Stray Cats tour. I know this affects so many people and I am devastated to have to deliver this news. I've been trying everything I can to go on and do these shows, but it is just not possible. I've been looking forward so much to being on stage with my band mates again and playing for all of our amazing fans, and I'm gutted."

In a recent appearance on The Romesh Ranganathan Show, Jamil revealed yet another thing her body's supposedly done: achieved multiple orgasms, simply from DJing. While playing a gig at the Young Farmer's Ball (I respect the hustle!), the reverberation from the venue's "ginormous speakers" apparently brought Jamil to climax... "There was nowhere to put the decks other than on top of the speakers, and I'm a sensitive young woman.

She has inspired me with her fashion and her hair, and of course, her makeup, her music,

Able to bring dynamic, highly musical playing to open-minded free jazz, R&B-leaning instrumental grooves and everything in between, DeJohnette is perhaps best known as the drummer in Davis's fusion period, contributing to albums such as Bitches Brew, Jack Johnson and On the Corner. He was also celebrated as a regular sideman and bandleader on elegant, progressive fusion releases from ECM in the 1980s.

The band that is playing this Halloween show is a deep dish of Dead virtuosos, and the concerts raise awareness and money for the Grateful Guitar Foundation, a compelling nonprofit that gets instruments into students' hands, and beautifully constructed Garcia knock-offs into the hands of the usually very broke musicians who play in Dead-related bands.

Clinton exploded on the scene in the 1960s, making his debut in Motown before gathering a talented crew of artists to create P-Funk, a new, fusional musical style that would deeply influence the likes of Prince, Snoop Dog, Kendrick Lamar, D'Angelo and the Red Hot Chili Peppers. "We came out of the psychedelic era and everything was permissible," Clinton told AFP. "I could free my mind, I could do whatever the music turned out to be."

But at this point in Adams's career, he's come to realize everything he does should be a true celebration of his music, and he won't settle for anything less. How utterly Canadian of him. "It's so joyous to be up there with everybody," he explains. "I mean, not just my band, but with everybody that's coming to the shows. The only thing that's missing is a Kool & the Gang song."

Created in collaboration with Neil Diamond himself, A BEAUTIFUL NOISE is the uplifting true story of how a kid from Brooklyn became a chart-busting, show-stopping American rock icon.

Her comments were anodyne as far as those about wealth inequality go. No "Tax the rich," no "Eat the rich," no "Class war - now." Eilish couched her critique in love, not once but twice; she even added "no hate." In a video of the event, it's clear from the way Eilish scans the room as she speaks that she's talking directly to the Innovator Awards audience.

Billie Eilish has a message for the world's most prominent billionaires: Give your money away, shorties. "I love you all, but there are a few people here with a lot more money than me," she said. "If you're a billionaire-why are you a billionaire? No hate, but yeah, give your money away, shorties," she said at the WSJ Magazine Innovator Awards.

From Soundgarden's humble beginnings manifesting grunge in Seattle's beer-soaked punk clubs to their revered status today as rock icons, the band's journey has been nothing short of extraordinary. In A Screaming Life, founding member and guitar god Kim Thayil goes backstage to introduce the band that fearlessly pushed the boundaries of rock, invented a new genre, and amassed fervent fans from every corner of the world.

In a May letter that was recently verified by TMZ, Mangione wrote that he downloaded "a bunch" of Taylor Swift and Charli XCX songs to his tablet to "see what all the hype was about" after a "phony" list circulated online saying that he listened to those artists. "So I'm walking laps on the top tier of my unit listening to 'cardigan' by TSwift, when one of the other inmates, 'King,' calls me over to see what I'm listening to," Mangione recalled.

Lindsey and I started talking about it last night. This whole thing seems really like yesterday to us.

Our dad was a passionate collector, driven not by possession, but by a profound appreciation for the beauty, history and cultural resonance of the items he curated. From iconic instruments to handwritten lyrics by legends to rare historical artifacts and documents, each piece in the collection tells a story -- and he was always so excited to share those stories with the world.

I'm sick of that joke, she says. I didn't know you were going to be here, I say. It's just not funny, she says. I think: comedians don't completely change their act every night just in case someone turns up twice. And also: we're a band. The jokes and stories are just there to get us from one song to another, or in case something goes wrong.

Girlbands, then. Shimmering icons of empowerment or Pygmalion projects for middle-aged A&R men? Here's a radical idea they're both. Two become one, baby. That's the sense you get from Girlbands Forever (Sat, 9.20pm, BBC Two), the documentary executive produced by Louis Theroux charting the fortunes of 90s bands such as All Saints, Eternal, Atomic Kitten and Mis-Teeq through to 00s stars Little Mix.
