“Good evening, Hollywood-fucking-Bowl!” Paul McCartney exclaimed to the flock of Parrotheads gathered before him. A sold-out crowd had assembled in the famed Los Angeles venue on Thursday to celebrate the legacy of Jimmy Buffett at “Keep the Party Going,” a laid-back, one-night-only tribute show full of eclectic guests.
“I had the great pleasure of knowing Jimmy, and like everyone else on the bill tonight, I said, ‘This is one great man.’ He was generous. He was funny. He’d done just about everything in his life,” McCartney said, before launching into “Let It Be.

A Manhattan judge abruptly dismissed a criminal case against three men accused of stealing dozens of pages of handwritten lyrics to Eagles hits including “Hotel California” after concluding that band member Don Henley “manipulated” prosecutors by withholding evidence.
Three men — Glenn Horowitz, a rare book dealer; Craig Inciardi, a curator at the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame; and Edward Kosinski, a memorabilia auctioneer — were all charged in 2022 with conspiracy over accusations that they had illegally obtained over 100 pages of lyrics from Henley.
The defendants maintained that they had legally obtained the lyric sheets from author Ed Sanders, who was hired in the 1970s to write a book about the Eagles.
During a hearing on Wednesday (via Billboard), Justice Curtis Farber revealed that Henley recently handed over more than 6,000 pages of emails and other notes that lent credence to the defense’s claims that Sanders had legitimately come into possession of Henley’s lyrics.

Prosecutors in the trial involving handwritten lyrics from the Eagles’ 1976 classic Hotel California dismissed the case on Wednesday in a surprise decision that seemingly puts an end to one of the more unusual music-related criminal trials in recent years.
In the criminal case, three men were accused of conspiring to possess stolen property. That property in question was over 100 pages of drafts of songs from the Eagles’ landmark album, written by Don Henley and Glenn Frey. The trial was heading into its third week on Wednesday when, in a letter to Judge Curtis Farber,...

Don Henley, the cofounder of The Eagles, had a serious look on his face while arriving at Manhattan Criminal Court in New York City.
A judge heard testimony in a criminal case about stolen notes with the lyrics for The Eagles’ album, Hotel California, including some of the band’s most iconic hits.
The notes were stolen from Henley’s barn and then began showing up in unauthorized auctions in 2012.
“It just wasn’t something that was for public viewing. It was our process. It was something very personal, very private,” Henley told the court. “I still wouldn’t show that to anybody.”
The Eagles have been touring for their final tour, The Long Goodbye. The tour is expected to continue until 2025. Steely Dan is an opening act for the tour.
The Eagles wrote in an Instagram post, “Our long run has lasted far longer than any of us ever dreamed.

Billy Joel and Sting celebrated the first of their co-headlining tour dates in Tampa Bay by covering each other’s songs: Joel joined Sting to perform The Police’s “Every Little Thing She Does Is Magic” and Sting accompanied Joel for a rendition of “Big Man on Mulberry Street.”
Sting took the stage first at Raymond James Stadium on Saturday night, and Billy Joel introduced his longtime pal by proclaiming, “I saw this guy when he came with his band to the States, and I was blown away. This was the late ’70s. I thought he was great then, and I think he’s great now. He’s one of my favorite musicians of all time.”
Joel stayed on stage to perform The Police classic, and Sting returned halfway through Joel’s set to duet “Big Man on Mulberry Street” with him. Watch clips of both performances below.

Billy Joel has shared the video for his comeback single, “Turn the Lights Back On,” his first music video in 17 years.
The video arrives after Joel debuted “Turn the Lights Back On” at the 2024 Grammys. Directed by Warren Fu and the song’s co-writer and producer, Freddy Wexler, the video uses deepfake technology from Deep Voodoo to show Joel singing the song in three different eras: His early career in the 1970s, his mid-career, and now. At the end, a brief montage of Joel’s career, life, and family plays as he sings to a fully empty-but-fully-lit theater. Watch the video below.
In celebration of “Turn the Lights Back On,” Joel’s first solo single since 2007’s “All My Life,” he also stopped by The Late Show with Steven Colbert on Thursday to discuss how the song came together, the Grammys performance, and why his seminal track “Piano Man” is actually a limerick.

While chatting with Howard Stern this week, Billy Joel revealed one major bucket list item he has yet to achieve: forming a supergroup with some of his favorite fellow musicians.
Currently in the midst of an ongoing tour, Joel explained, “I thought about putting together a band: Me, Don Henley, and Sting, and maybe John Mayer on guitar.” When asked by Stern if he’d consider inviting his good friend Paul McCartney into the mix, Joel shut down the suggestion. “He was in the super-est group of all-time. I don’t have the nerve to do that.”
However, Ringo Starr is still fair game to him. “He’s a great drummer,” noted Joel. “He doesn’t get the credit he deserves.” Watch the full segment below.

When Robbie Robertson and The Band performed their final concert at San Francisco’s Winterland Ballroom in November 1976, it was clearly an ending for the group, as expressed in the title of the 1978 film Martin Scorsese made about the event, “The Last Waltz.” While that movie — by virtually any imaginable criteria, the greatest rock and roll film ever made — documented a farewell, it itself represented a new beginning: a collaboration between Scorsese and Robertson that would last nearly 50 years and yield an astonishing series of masterpieces including “Raging Bull,” “The Wolf of Wall Street,” and most recently “Killers of the Flower Moon,” for which Robertson — who died last August at the age of 80 — posthumously scored an Academy Award nomination for Best Original Score.
Robertson’s work in “Killers” is the apotheosis of his partnership with Scorsese, a score that exhibits the passion, variety, and depth of expression familiar from Robertson...

Selena Gomez will play Linda Ronstadt in an upcoming biopic based on the superstar singer’s 2013 memoir Simple Dreams.
The Only Murders In The Building star and executive producer gave credence to the months-old internet rumors about the project today by posting a photo of the memoir as an Instagram Story. Deadline’s sister publication Rolling Stone later confirmed the casting.
The movie is in pre-production, with James Keach and Ronstadt’s longtime manager John Boylan co-producing. Additional casting and release date have not been announced.
An unconfirmed report of Gomez’s involvement in the biopic surfaced last July, but the Ig Story today moved the possibility into the definite.
Keach directed the 2020 film Linda and the Mockingbirds, a documentary chronicling a road trip undertaken by Ronstadt, Jackson Browne and a group of younger musicians to the Mexican town of Banámichi in the state of Sonora, the birthplace of Ronstadt’s grandfather.

In The Wrecking Crew, Denny Tedesco lovingly chronicled a legendary collective of musicians, his father among them, who appeared on countless studio recordings in the 1960s, revered within the business but unsung in the public sphere. By contrast, the names of the four players he profiles in his new documentary appeared on nearly every record they worked on. Other musicians sought them out, fan bases were born, and careers flourished. And, it turns out, besides being extraordinary musical talents, they’re exceptionally charismatic interview subjects — sincere, soulful and effortlessly funny raconteurs.
Receiving a one-night theatrical release Dec. 12, three days before it’s available on demand, Immediate Family is an affectionate and insightful group portrait and a sweet jolt of nostalgia for boomers — but more than that, it’s time well spent with delightful subjects who played crucial roles in shaping the popular music of a ground-shifting era.

Two days ago, Dan Marfisi, a longtime musician and songwriter in the L.A. area, received a text from a composer friend. “He wrote, ‘Did you write this song on The X-Files?’” Marfisi says. “He said, ‘You should go to Twitter and check out these threads. You’ll be a hero.’”
Marfisi had no idea what his friend was talking about, but when he went online, he learned that more than a few people have been trying to unearth information about a piece of music he co-wrote 25 years ago — and had barely thought about since.

Martin Scorsese Honors Robbie Robertson’s Legacy with Tribute Concert: The Musician ‘Broke Barriers’
Martin Scorsese honored late rocker Robbie Robertson with the tribute concert “Robbie Robertson: A Celebration of His Life and Music,” during which the auteur recalled how Robertson’s scores marked a “turning point” in his career.
The private memorial concert was hosted at Village Studios in Los Angeles, with artists Jackson Browne, Rocco Deluca, Angela McCluskey, Blake Mills Group, and Citizen Cope performing. Robertson, the former The Band guitarist, died at age 80 in August 2023. Scorsese first met Robertson during concert documentary film “The Last Waltz” in 1976; the duo collaborated for decades after, with Robertson serving as the music producer and composer on films like “The King of Comedy,” “Silence,” “The Aviator,” “The Wolf of Wall Street,” and most recently, “Killers of the Flower Moon.”

Early homeownership long has been part of the American dream. But in Los Angeles, Hollywood nepo babies are often buying more than a modest one-story ranch. “Think of them as a starter home,” says Paul Lester, a partner at The Agency. “But a starter home in some other community somewhere in the States is a lot different than what we’re talking about — it’s a starter home of $3 million to $4 million.”
Case in point: Don Henley purchased his 20-something son, Will, an eco-friendly, open-concept starter home in Mar Vista last year for $4.3 million. In April of this year, model Presley Gerber — the 23-year-old scion of Cindy Crawford and Rande Gerber — purchased a $3.4 million midcentury home in Beverly Hills.
And then there is Jordan McGraw, whose parents, Dr. Phil and Robin McGraw, reportedly gave him one hell of a present in 2020 — a $10 million mansion in Beverly Hills.

Last night at Madison Square Garden in New York, the opening night of their farewell tour, the Eagles took a sobering pause in their usual airtight set of hits. Hushing the crowd, Don Henley began talking about longtime band friend Jimmy Buffett, who had died six days before, at 76, of skin cancer. After half joking that Buffett was clearly enjoying a cheeseburger somewhere, Henley added, “We always laughed and said, ‘We survived the Seventies together.’ Jimmy was one of the hardest-working men I ever saw, but he made work look like play.

Updated, with comment from Ramaswamy’s campaign: Eminem wants Vivek Ramaswamy to lose “Lose Yourself” and other rap works from his campaign’s playlist.
Music rights management service BMI sent Ramaswamy’s campaign a letter notifying them that Marshall Mathers, aka Eminem, had objected to their use of his compositions. (Read the Eminem letter). The BMI attorney, Pamela Williams, also informed them that the Eminem works are being removed from a BMI license agreement with the campaign.
“BMI will consider any performance of the Eminem Works by the Vivek 2024 campaign from this date forward to be a material breach of the Agreement for which BMI reserves all rights and remedies with respect thereto,” Williams wrote in the letter, which also was obtained by Deadline.

Perhaps the biggest surprise of the 2023 Grammys was hearing Bonnie Raitt’s name called as the winner of the prestigious Song of the Year award for “Just Like That.” While many were shocked at Raitt taking home the award over smash hits by artists like Adele, Harry Styles, and Lizzo, few would consider Raitt undeserving of the prize. This is especially true if you know how important Raitt has been to popular music for decades. But that wasn’t the only general field award she’s won. At the 32nd Grammy Awards, held in 1990, Raitt’s comeback record “Nick of Time” won her three trophies, including Album of the Year over legends like Bob Dylan, Tom Petty, and Don Henley.
To understand Raitt’s 1990 wins, you need to understand her career leading up to “Nick of Time.” Raitt got her start in the early ’70s, earning praise as one of...

Turning Disney theme park attractions is a relatively new-ish concept, but the movies based on Disney attractions vary wildly in quality.
The story goes that Dick Cook, who at the time was running the Disney film studio with Nina Jacobson, had originally come up with the idea to “mine the theme parks for movie ideas” (as James B. Stewart put it in “Disney War”). They had made “The Country Bears” and were working on projects based on classic Disney attractions Pirates of the Caribbean and The Haunted Mansion. At the time, Pirates was envisioned as a direct-to-video cheapie, more along the lines of “Tower of Terror,” which debuted as an inexpensive TV on “The Wonderful World of Disney.”
But during a meeting about whether Disney should invest in “Master and Commander: The Far Side of the World,” an expensive Peter Weir movie starring Russell Crowe (they declined), the idea was...

Part of the reason why Fleetwood Mac broke up was because many of the band were romantically involved, and none of those relationships worked out. After Stevie Nicks split with longtime partner Lindsey Buckingham, she was involved in a brief affair with drummer Mick Fleetwood. Their relationship only lasted a few years, but it did lead to a few new songs from Nicks. Here are three songs Nicks wrote about Fleetwood.
Stevie Nicks expressed regret toward her affair with Mick Fleetwood in ‘Storms’
Nicks and Fleetwood started their affair in 1977 while on the Rumours tour in Australia. At the time, both were in relationships. Fleetwood was married to Jenny Boyd, sister of Pattied Boyd, and Nicks was dating the Eagles’ Don Henley. Fleetwood and Boyd got divorced in 1978 after he started his affair with Nicks.
Shortly after the “Landslide” singer ended her affair with Fleetwood, she wrote “Storms”, which appeared on Fleetwood Mac’s 1979 album,...

When Lindsey Buckingham joined Fleetwood Mac, he helped the group find unprecedented success but also opened them up to drama. Buckingham and then-girlfriend Stevie Nicks increased the band’s star power. Their tumultuous relationship also nearly broke the band apart. They weren’t the only ones causing problems, though. According to Buckingham, nobody was ever on the same page. He shared how he thought this made them the opposite of the Eagles.
Lindsey Buckingham said Fleetwood Mac was the opposite of the Eagles
Fleetwood Mac was an incredibly successful band in spite of their personal drama. They broke up with each other, had affairs, consumed copious amounts of drugs and alcohol, and fought over their music. Buckingham said they were rarely on the same page, even after years of working together.
“[T]hings change, and that’s a part of Fleetwood Mac,” he told Rolling Stone in 2012. “We’re a moving target.
