Global superstar Adele recently shared a tearful message announcing the postponement of her Las Vegas residency as a result of Covid-related production delays.

"I'm so sorry, but my show ain't ready," Adele says in the video posted on social media. "We've tried absolutely everything we can to put it together in time and for it to be good enough for you, but we've been absolutely destroyed by delivery delays and COVID."

"Half my crew, half my team is down with Covid. They still are, and it's been impossible to finish the show," she adds. "And I can't give you what I have right now, and I'm gutted."

Adele apologized for the last-minute announcement, which came just a day before the residency was originally scheduled to kick off on Friday, January 21.

The "Easy On Me" singer promised all 24 dates of the "Weekends With Adele" residency at the Colosseum at Caesars Palace will be rescheduled.

Chris Brown and Drake's lawyers have filed a motion to dismiss a copyright infringement lawsuit brought against the pair, which alleges that they ripped off a 2016 song called "I Love Your Dress" for their 2019 hit "No Guidance."

Last year, Brandon Cooper, also known by his stage name Mr. Cooper, and Timothy Valentine, aka Drum'n Skillz, filed a lawsuit against Brown and Drake claiming that "No Guidance" was a copy of their work on "I Love Your Dress."

The lawsuit had claimed that an analysis of the beat, lyrics, hook and rhythmic structure demonstrates that "No Guidance" was copied or, at the very least, principally derived from "I Love Your Dress."

Specifically, they claimed their track has the lyrics "She got it; she got it" repeated 16 times, while CB's and Drake's has "You got it, girl; you got it" at least 11 times.

However, the attorney representing Drake and Brown, James Sammataro, rejected the allegations, saying the phrase is too prevalent to be within the realm of copyright law.

"Plaintiffs' suit is premised upon the alleged similarity [to a] wholly generic lyrical phrase," Sammataro wrote. "No one, including plaintiffs, can own or monopolize the non-copyrightable phrase 'you got it,' and it should come as no surprise that this phrase appears in countless other works."

"The Court can hear for itself that the total concept and feel of the songs is vastly different," Sammataro added. "Plaintiffs' song is a slow, R&B love ballad about the writer's wife featuring one vocalist and relatively few lyrics. In sharp contrast, 'No Guidance' is a faster, longer, and sexually explicit rap and R&B song about a new romantic interest."

Pop sensation Shawn Mendes and Camilla Cabello's breakup in November was one of the talks of the world after the duo rose to fame together and continued to date for two years.

Mendes recently released a video to his emotional single "it'll be okay," which has portrayed the singer's mood in a snow-skied canvas.

The song itself was launched back in December, showing that the electric duo was truly separated. The video, directed by Jay Martin, shows Mendes back in his hometown in Toronto, Canada, in a snowy evening where he sings the song with no one around in a feeling of blue that is characteristic of losing in love.

"If you tell me you're leaving, I'll make it easy/ It'll be okay/ If we can't stop the bleeding/ We don't have to fix it/ We don't have to stay/ I will love you either way/ Ooh-ooh, it'll be oh, be okay" a heart-broken loner sings on as flakes of snow fill the rest of the frame.

Mendes is planning to take "Wonder," his chart-topping single on a tour around the world in 2022 starting in spring.

English singer, musician and songwriter Yungblud says his upcoming album will be his most personal.

"I've been in London, I've been making the third record and I'm just so excited about it," Yungblud said in an interview with Apple Music. "This is, for me, the most personal music I've ever written."

"I think people are going to be a bit shocked about that because all my other music is pretty personal [but] I've gone deeper and it's pretty outrageous, to be honest," he told Hanuman Welch.

The untitled record, a follow-up to his 2020 album Weird, will be "completely uncensored," according to Yungblud.

"People can believe what they wanna believe about you," he said. "There's a lot of stuff written about me on the internet in the past two years and I ain't gonna respond to that, I ain't gonna give people the satisfaction. But it's created a beautiful kickback in me."

"All my life I've felt misunderstood, I've felt oppressed, I've felt attacked for being just simply who I was. [Then] you find a community who accept you and then millions more people know who you are and you feel exactly the same way," he added.

Speaking about potential collaborations on the album, Yungblud said, "I love what Willow Smith's doing right now. I'm obsessed with Girl In Red. There's a new wave of artists who are talking from their soul and their reality. I ain't confirming anything but I would certainly love to work with them."

Another sexual assault claim was recorded against Trey Songz, as Dylan Gonzalez, an artist and former basketball star at the University of Nevada, Las Vegas, has claimed that the singer had raped her at a "well-known Las Vegas Hotel."

Gonzalez did not specify any details of the incident but has confirmed that she is taking legal action against the singer.

In an Instagram post, she wrote, "With what seems like endlessly reoccurring news of the alleged sexual assaults committed by Trey Songz, I am forced to repeatedly relive in my mind, and suffer anew, the long-suppressed horror and unbearable PTSD of my rape by his very hands at a well known Las Vegas Hotel."

Gonzalez also asked other sexually abused individuals to come forward to fight for justice, adding, "Suppression of our voices only emboldens our oppressors, and you cannot heal what you do not reveal."

However, she has not answered questions about the details of the incident she was alluding to.

Gonzalez had already dropped hints about the lawsuit on New Year's Eve, when she tweeted, "Trey Songz is a rapist. Lord forgive me I Couldn't hold that in another year."

This is not the first allegation of sexual assault against Songz. In November 2021, Songz was involved in another investigation of a similar gravity after his 37th birthday party at The Cosmopolitan in Las Vegas.

Famous actress and television star Keke Palmer had also claimed back in 2017 that she was filmed without consent by the singer and his friends. Model Celina Powell and her friend Aliza had already exposed the singer in 2020, calling him "weird" after he allegedly threatened them and urinated on them.

Paramore have revealed that they have returned to studio and have started working on their sixth full-length album. The album, a follow-up to 2017's After Laughter, will be the band's first new record in five years.

"We wrote and tracked something we loved and it actually surprised us," frontwoman Hayley Williams told Rolling Stone about the first day back together with her band mates Taylor York, and Zac Farro.

"We kept joking it was all downhill from that point, but thank God we've been surprised a lot throughout this whole thing. I'm always waiting for the moment for us to know we're onto something new and we're not just rehashing the same shit," she added.

Williams continued, "It was 'Ain't It Fun' for our self-titled record, and 'Hard Times' or 'Told You So' for After Laughter. It's not about it feeling like a hit so much as it's a scary, exciting feeling that you're treading uncharted waters. It keeps you curious. We got to feel that feeling early on this time."

The band also revealed that they completed the album's earliest songwriting sessions in Nashville but then relocated to a studio in California for recording.

The Weeknd recently shared the official video for "Gasoline" from his latest album Dawn FM, which was released on Friday, January 7.

Directed by Matilda Finn, the video sees the singer crashing his car into a "DO NOT ENTER" signpost while driving on a foggy highway. Fast forward a few moments and we find an aged-up version of The Weeknd, aka Abel Tesfaye, engaged in a violent fight with the present-day version of himself in a club packed with creepy hedonists.

In a Tweet by the "The Blinding Lights" singer, dated December 10, that read, "I wonder. did you know you're experiencing a new trilogy?" Tesfaye seemingly hinted that his album Dawn FM was a part of "a new trilogy" which was preceded by the 2020 blockbuster After Hours.

Rapper, singer and actor Machine Gun Kelly and actress Megan Fox are officially engaged.

Fox posted a video of the engagement on Instagram, showing MGK proposing to her in front of a banyan tree.

"In July of 2020 we sat under this banyan tree," Fox wrote in the caption, referring to the time line when the couple first made their relationship official.

"Somehow a year and a half later, having walked through hell together, and having laughed more than I ever imagined possible, he asked me to marry him," Fox continued. "And just as in every lifetime before this one, and as in every lifetime that will follow it, I said yes..and then we drank each other's blood. 1.11.22."

"Yes, in this life and every life, beneath the same branches we fell in love under, i brought her back to ask her to marry me," Kelly wrote on his Instagram page where he posted a video of Fox and her emerald and diamond engagement ring.

Twenty One Pilots performed an improvised mash-up of their own "Mullbery Street" and Elton John's "Bennie and the Jets" as a part of their AT&T Playoff Playlist set on Sunday.

The song started with a verse from the duo's track from their last album Scaled and Icy and slowly transitioned into the Elton John classic. Singer Tyler Joseph said that "Bennie and the Jets" is his father's favorite song.

"Hey kids, shake it loose together/ The spotlight's hitting something/ That's been known to change the weather/ We'll kill the fatted calf tonight, so stick around/ You're gonna hear electric music/ Solid walls of sound/ Say, Candy and Ronnie, have you seen her yet?/ Oh, but they're so spaced out/ B-B-B-Bennie and the Jets," sang Joseph as Josh Dun hit the drums.

The song ended with another verse from "Mullbery Street" asking the audience to "keep your bliss, there's nothing wrong with this."

Twenty One Pilots' Scaled and Icy reached No. 3 on the Billboard 200 after releasing in May.
