The Daily Drop

As a kid who grew up in Chicago watching the (NFL) Super Bowl every year with my family this chance to actually be part of it is absolutely mind blowing," Kaskade said in a tweet later that night. To be able to be the first Electronic Musician to be part of the full game experience of the Super Bowl held in Las Vegas seems like coming home, and I'm beyond excited to represent my community." "For everybody that heard about my show in Las Vegas, you're not going to get a chance to see some of what I did here but you're going to see the best of it because it's in front of 60,000 people in this room and hopefully another 180 million people for the world to see," he said.

Billy Joel's first new single in nearly two decades came out last week, and fans were thrilled to see the Piano Man perform "Turn the Lights Back On" live for the first time at the 2024 Grammys.

His post 9/11 song song "Courtesy of the Red, White and Blue (The Angry American)," made him a household name and he went on to perform hundreds of shows for members of the U.S. armed forces in conflict zones including Afghanistan and Iraq, though denied that politics played a part in those gigs, telling CNN in 2010: "There's not one single thing political about supporting the troops."

And to show the power behind the almighty Swift dollar, the U.S. version of the Collector's Edition Deluxe CD (at first announced available to order until February 7), which not only has the essentials but includes a patch, a magnet, a brass bookmark in an envelope and four photo cards, is now somehow already out of stock in the store.

Justin Timberlake was not feeling very contrite during his intimate show at New York City's Irving Plaza on Wednesday, January 31. "I also wanted to say I am in love with Justin Timberlake's new song 'Selfish,'" Spears wrote. "Looks like your new single is flopping," said the person who uploaded a video of Timberlake's statement to X, the platform formerly known as Twitter.

Melinda Ledbetter Wilson, who - as his second wife - brought Beach Boys songwriter Brian Wilson out of his creative doldrums and helped him to escape from the clutches of psychologist Eugene Landy, has died at the age of 77. "It is with a heavy heart that we let everyone know that our mom, Melinda Kay Ledbetter Wilson passed away peacefully this morning at home," her children wrote within Brian's Instagram post. Their romance was dramatized in the 2014 film Love & Mercy, which - by using two timelines - also told the story of Brian's romance with his first wife, Marilyn.

Considering it was barely a month ago that Manchester heavyweights Liam Gallagher and John Squire first announced their surprise collaboration, the two have wasted little time spreading the love, releasing the second single from their upcoming collaborative album, "Mars to Liverpool," on January 26. As the two biggest rock bands to emerge out of Manchester in the late 1980s and early '90s, Gallagher's Oasis and Squire's the Stone Roses frequently crossed paths, and Squire memorably performed with Oasis during the band's now-legendary Knebworth concerts in 1996. Following that gig, as Gallagher remembered: "I got a call from John saying that he was writing songs again and would I like to get involved," Gallagher said in a promo video for the duo's first single.
