Megan Skiendiel will be taking it easy on stage when she returns to performing following her concussion.
The KATSEYE singer's scheduled appearances in Chicago last Thursday (05.11.26) and Minneapolis on Saturday (07.11.26) were postponed as she continues to recover, adding to a difficult week for the group after they were forced to cancel their Detroit show at short notice.
Fans were notified that the concerts at Chicago's United Center and Minneapolis' Target Center would not take place as planned, with Megan needing additional time away from performing on medical advice.
The group is scheduled to return to the stage in Austin, Texas, on Tuesday night (10.11.26). However, Megan has confirmed that she will be performing with "limited" movement while she continues to recover.
In an update shared on the band's Instagram Story on Monday (09.11.26), she wrote: "I wanted to give you a little update and let you know that while I'm feeling so much better, 1 am still actively recovering from my concussion so l'll need to take some precautions as I continue to heal.
"For the Austin show, l'll be performing on a modified schedule.
"This means reduced choreography, less intense movement, and taking breaks as needed. I won't be going full out just yet! My doctors have recommended these limitations for now and l'Il need to be reassessed before returning to unrestricted performances.
"That said, I'm so excited to be back on stage with the girls and see all of you in Austin! I'm incredibly grateful for the opportunity to be there, even if I have to do things a little differently this time."
She also expressed her appreciation for the support she has received, adding: "Thank you for all the love, patience and support. It means more than you know. I love you guys!"
KATSEYE fans in Detroit were left disappointed after the group cancelled their performance at Little Caesars Arena shortly before the show was due to begin. The band initially said Megan was unwell, but the singer later revealed that she had suffered a concussion.
Speaking directly to fans on social media, Megan explained that although she had hoped to continue with the tour, medical professionals had advised her against returning before she had fully recovered.
She wrote on her Instagram Story: "I am so sorry that our Detroit, Chicago, and Minneapolis shows have been postponed. I currently have a concussion and am doing everything I possibly can to recover from it so I can be on stage for you all again."
The 20-year-old singer said she had considered every possible way to perform before realising she needed to take time off.
She added: "I wanted to try my best to still make the show happen, but I've been strongly advised by medical professionals that I need to take this time to fully recover and come back safely."
KATSEYE also addressed the disappointment surrounding the postponed shows, confirming that they are working to arrange new dates. The group asked fans to hold on to their tickets, which will remain valid for the rescheduled performances.
Megan described the situation as "devastated" but assured fans that she hopes to return to touring as soon as she is well enough to perform.
The latest setback follows a challenging year for KATSEYE, with Manon Bannerman and Sophia Laforteza also taking temporary breaks from group activities to focus on their health and wellbeing. Manon began her hiatus in February, while Sophia stepped away in August and is expected to return in January 2027.
Kings of Leon moved away from the songwriting "tricks" they had developed over the years to create radio friendly hits while working on their new album.
The Sex On Fire stars have returned with their 10th studio record, O My Beloved, which arrived on Friday (06.11.26). Frontman Caleb Followill has now revealed that he took a different approach to writing the new material after a foot injury forced the rock band to cancel their 2025 tour.
Speaking to NME, Caleb explained: "It wasn’t planned. We were just doing our thing in the studio, writing and recording some exciting stuff.
"But when I busted my foot, my frame of mind went somewhere else because I was feeling down on myself.
"I felt like it was my fault that we had cancelled a tour. So I was sitting at home with a broken foot and I started playing the guitar … the first song that I wrote ended up being My Whole World."
He also described how the new songs came together differently from the band's earlier hits, saying: "This time, it felt like we only needed to follow what was speaking to us, and then everything started to come together.
"Before we knew it, we had a handful of songs that all felt cohesive, and we had moved away from using the tricks that we’ve learned over years to make a song that would fit on the radio.
"It became about being honest and writing songs from a good place … then just seeing what happened."
The Nashville band, consisting of brothers Caleb, Nathan and Jared Followill and their cousin Matthew Followill, celebrate their family and friends throughout the album. The record follows 2024's Can We Please Have Fun.
When the album was first announced, Caleb said: "We have already surpassed anything we ever imagined we could do, and we’ve built something that is so special.
"I thought, wouldn’t it be beautiful to make an album that is looking back on all of the things that we’ve done and appreciating how we got here.
"In the songs, there’s our families, stories from our childhood, things that maybe didn’t seem that significant at the time, but the way they find their way into these songs kind of lets me realise how impactful they really were in my life."
On My Whole World, Caleb expresses his gratitude through the lyrics: "As the wind blows there goes /My whole world /Like a ray of sunshine / I'm grateful today for /My whole world /That sweet peace of mind."
Miranda Lambert believes that music has the power to bring people together.
The 42-year-old country singer is preparing to headline the Dallas Cowboys' Thanksgiving Day halftime show this year and is looking forward to performing during the team's home game against the Philadelphia Eagles on November 26.
In a statement, Miranda said: “There’s something special about how music brings people together, especially when it’s to spread joy and hope to families who need it most.”
Her performance will mark the 30th consecutive Salvation Army Red Kettle Kickoff halftime show, and the country star is excited to be part of the long-running tradition.
She said: “The Salvation Army and the Dallas Cowboys have built an incredible tradition with the Red Kettle Kickoff, and I can’t wait to be back home in Texas this Thanksgiving to help carry it forward.”
Over the past three decades, the Dallas Cowboys' Thanksgiving halftime show has welcomed numerous major performers, including Carrie Underwood, Reba McEntire, Lainey Wilson, Dolly Parton, Destiny’s Child, Selena Gomez, Kelly Clarkson and the Jonas Brothers.
Elsewhere, Miranda recently shared her excitement about seeing so many female country artists succeeding in the industry.
The singer enjoyed critical acclaim and commercial success early in her career, but she believes the country music business has become more merit-based in recent years.
Speaking to Southern Living, she explained: “The way music is heard now and the way it’s delivered to the public, it’s like they’re in charge. They pick what they love. It’s not like we’re all fighting for the same 30 spots on the country charts anymore.”
Miranda is especially pleased to see so many women making their mark on country music today.
The award-winning singer, who released her debut studio album Kerosene in 2005, said: “Country music always has stages and phases and ups and downs, but I haven’t seen this many women winning since probably the 1990s.
“When I say ‘winning,’ I don’t mean awards. I mean just being out there doing the damn thing. It’s really good to see. I know what that takes, so I respect it a lot and am thankful to be part of it.”
Happy Mondays star Bez believes the Oasis reunion has "given us a push as well".
The Britpop legends returned to the stage last year for their first tour in 16 years, and the 62-year-old dancer and DJ, who was a prominent figure in Manchester's Madchester scene, says the Gallagher brothers' comeback has brought renewed attention to the city's music scene.
Speaking to BBC Radio Stoke, he said: "We're lucky enough to be part of that Manchester scene which, at the time, grew so big it was unbelievable.
"We've got that legendary status from that time, and of course Oasis coming back last year helped all things Manchester again, so I think that's given us a push as well."
Reflecting on attending the Oasis Live '25 tour last year, Bez added: "It's absolutely incredible, the phenomenon of Oasis.
"I was actually blown away by it all, both to see them at Heaton Park and to see hordes of young people all running around. It was just an incredible moment."
The renewed excitement surrounding the band is set to continue after the Live Forever rockers recently announced their Oasis Live '27 tour.
Demand has been enormous, with additional dates added to the schedule.
The tour will include a six-night residency at Knebworth, setting a new record for the most shows performed at the estate and surpassing Robbie Williams' three-night run in 2003.
Frontman Liam Gallagher recently sent Oasis fans into a frenzy after seemingly hinting that the band could be working on a new album.
The singer, who frequently sparks speculation with cryptic social media posts, replied to a fan on X who claimed Oasis had "SEVEN great albums", writing: "8 including the new 1, I mean happy birthday. (sic)"
The comment comes as Gallagher continues to fuel hopes of new music following the Oasis Live ’27 tour. Responding to another fan on X, he said: "Listen if all goes well with the tour I guess next step is to have a chat about new music. Can’t see us touring again unless we have new music."
Fans have spent years calling for new material, particularly after Gallagher previously admitted that the pressure to match the band's '90s catalogue would be "too much". When one fan pleaded for another album, he responded: "NO I’m just not prepared for the criticism if it doesn’t sell 100 million copies in the 1st hour… let’s just do some gigs and be happy thank you (sic)."
Oasis' legacy continues to loom large, with songs such as Wonderwall, Don’t Look Back in Anger and Champagne Supernova helping define an era. Gallagher has repeatedly acknowledged the enormous expectations surrounding any new material, even joking that the band would "split up again" if they attempted another album.
The group's last studio album, Dig Out Your Soul, was released in 2008, a year before Oasis broke up following a backstage altercation between Gallagher and his brother Noel Gallagher.
The B-52s are to receive the 2,861st star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame.
The band behind Love Shack will be officially honoured with the star on 29 October.
"The Hollywood Chamber of Commerce is proud to welcome the B-52s to the Hollywood Walk of Fame," Ana Martinez, Walk of Fame producer said in a statement.
"Honouring The B-52s with a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame is a celebration of their unforgettable music, fearless spirit and the nostalgia they've created for generations of fans. Their unique sound and energy have truly become part of Hollywood's musical history."
SiriusXM presenter Richard Blade will host the ceremony. Members of The Go-Go's, who were awarded their own star in 2011, and musician, actor and comedian Fred Armisen are scheduled to deliver speeches during the livestreamed event.
The band's star will be situated at 6212 Hollywood Boulevard, outside Amoeba Music.
The B-52s reached a career high in 1989 with Cosmic Thing, which climbed to No. 4 on the US Billboard 200 and spent 65 weeks on the chart. The record produced two consecutive hit singles, Love Shack and Roam.
The original members were Fred Schneider, Kate Pierson, Cindy Wilson, Ricky Wilson and Keith Strickland. Ricky Wilson died from an AIDS-related illness in 1985, while Strickland ceased touring with the band in 2013.
After announcing farewell tours on several occasions, the group is preparing to conclude its current Cosmic De-Evolution Tour, co-headlined with Devo, in Palm Desert, California, on 31 October.
