Remember when Dave Grohl broke his leg during a Foo Fighters set and had that massive throne made so he could sit and perform for the rest of the tour? And then Dave let Axl Rose borrow it when Axl fell off stage during a Guns and Roses set?
Now Del The Funky Homosapien is the latest to join the nasty stage fall club.
Gorillaz pulled the plug on their set in Germany after Del bailed hard. Poor guy was mid-verse and walked straight off the stage. Good news is, he's going to be okay. Del wrote on twitter, "Thank you all for the love! I'm doing alright but will be in the hospital for a bit, the care here is outstanding though. Much love to @gorillaz for having me out and I'll be back soon yall."

Maybe he noticed how much attention Ariana Grande & Pete Davidson’s whirlwind romance is getting? According to some pretty reliable sources, Justin Bieber popped the question to his on-again-off-again girlfriend, model Hailey Baldwin, over the weekend. Looking back, their history is almost as complicated as his thing with Selena Gomez.
The couple shut down romantic rumors in 2014, with Hailey telling E! News "I've known him since I was so young -- since I was like 13 -- and we've just been good friends over the years," she said. "We have just stayed close and there's nothing more to it than that.” And Justin posting an Instagram photo of them together with the caption "People are crazy. I'm super single and this is my good friend u would know otherwise.”
They officially became a couple for the first time in 2016, but at that time Bieber said he wasn’t ready for a committed relationship, telling GQ "What if Hailey ends up being the girl I'm gonna marry, right? If I rush into anything, if I damage her, then it's always gonna be damaged. It’s really hard to fix wounds like that. It's so hard.... I just don't want to hurt her.” By August they had broken up and moved on. Hailey spoke about that period earlier this year, telling the UK’s The Times "We didn't speak for quite some time and there was a lot of weirdness that went on. But it brought both of us to the realization that we just work much better as friends. He's somebody I really cherish. Now it's a very mature situation. It's good.”
And of course, there were all those rumors about Hailey and Shawn Mendes as recently as May, when they attended the Met Gala together. Shawn was quick to shut those down, saying they were just “very good friends” - but Hailey pulled an interesting move once she got back together with Justin, deleting all of her photos of Shawn (there were lots) from her Insta feed.
Now it looks like Jailey is going to be a permanent thing. Haiber? Baldber? Hit us up @livexlive on socials if you have a better working couple name for these two.
This may come as a shock to you, but in country music, we like our drinks. At least as far back as ol’ Hank Williams, we’ve had a tear in our beer, and we’ve never been afraid to tell you about it. Garth Brooks and George Jones (who legitimately did have a drinking problem) went on a “Beer Run,” Billy Currington was “Pretty Good At Drinkin’ Beer,” and John Anderson knew all about a “Straight Tequila Night.”
But it seems the Washington Post thinks this is a new phenomenon, one they wrote an article about last week. They point out the number of artists who have opened bars or launched their own lines of wine, whiskey, vodka, rum, and mezcal.
They also went so far as to put together this video about how country artists use alcohol to sing about love, and everything that surrounds it, including breakups.
So… is this a bad thing? Obviously some artists have taken it too far in their personal lives -- Keith Urban is among the artists who went to rehab, and George Jones was known for driving his lawnmower to the bar when his wife took away his car keys before he eventually got sober. But let’s look at Brad Paisley: one of his biggest songs is called “Alcohol,” he usually has a bar on stage at his shows, and he built a bar in his house. But he doesn’t drink at all. Many of the artists quoted in the WP’s article even said they don’t drink as hard as you might think they do.
Country music is about life, and often it’s about making the best of life as it is and having a good time whenever you can. And sometimes real life also includes making decisions while under the influence that you might not have made sober… because we all know that drunk text was NOT a good idea – and country music is about that, too.
Do we have a drinking problem in country music? I say no. We might have a partying and having fun problem, but is that really such a bad thing? Now, simmer down and pour me a glass of wine, would ya?
