Today we say goodbye to a musical legend. On the anniversary of Elvis Presley’s death, Aretha Franklin has joined him in that rock ‘n’ roll band we know must be jamming in heaven.

Aretha’s music influenced artists of every genre – and has even made appearances at country music industry events. Like that time in 1988 when then-three time consecutive female vocalist of the year Reba McEntire performed “Respect” at the CMA Awards. Reba said it was controversial, but she said the song connected with her mental outlook at the time.

Country artists have been paying their respects (no pun intended) on social media today, including Reba, who also shared a video of her 1988 performance.

Rest in peace, Queen. Thank you for the music. – Jess Wright

The reigning and undisputed “Queen Of Soul” has created an amazing legacy that spans an incredible six decades, from her first recording as a teenage gospel star to a stunning string of seminal R&B, Pop and Soul classics. Take a deep dive into her music, her collaborators, her inspirations and the many who site her as an inspiration.

Bebe Rexha is one of those artists who puts it ALL out there – whether she’s spilling the dirt on her breakthrough track with Eminem (you know, the one where she was replaced by Rihanna) or discussing how she failed, big time, and got dropped from her first record deal.

2018 is FINALLY the year of Bebe, and she sat down with Rolling Stone to talk about all these experiences, plus what it’s like to sing about her own anxieties and going to therapy.

You get to explore each room! The emails, the swag, the screening room, the edit room, you name it. According to Pitchfork, the tour features video documentaries of unreleased interviews/archival footage and commentary from different "tour guides", including Spike Jonze and Seth Rogen.

I gotta give it up to Red (follow at @RedOnSlacker) this weekend for sharing what I can only call, “goals.”

You see, Red threw a story at me which involves 2 elderly German men, escaping from a retirement home, to attend this year’s Wacken Open Air. What is at Wacken Open Air? Well I’m glad you asked my wide eye curious friend. Wacken Open Air is one of Germany’s many staple metal festivals that came equipped with Danzig, Judas Priest, Hatebreed, In Flames, Running Wild, and Arch Enemy this year. According to the Deutsche Welle, the two men escaped the home on Friday and were found at 3 in the morning at the festival "disoriented and dazed."

Sounds like a good time to me.

Police spokeswoman Merle Neufeld said they were clearly fans.

"They obviously liked the metal festival," police spokeswoman Merle Neufeld told public broadcaster Norddeutscher Rundfunk. "The care home quickly organized a return transport after police picked them up."

The 2 gentleman were returned safely back to their nursing home, but man can someone get these heroes some tickets for next year’s festival?

Thing just keep getting better for Jennifer Lopez. She’s had 20+ years of success in movies and music, she’s (hopefully) found a love that can last with A-Rod, and somehow she never seems to age!

JLo showed up on TRL last week to chat about her upcoming Video Vanguard award and try to pick her favorite out of all the videos she’s ever released. Sway points out that not only is she the first LatinX artist to grab that title, she’s also the first artist nominated for Best New Artist (back in 1998) who went on to be honored as a legend. Jennifer even takes a look at the 2018 Best New Artist nominees.

Watch her TRL interview above and don’t forget to check out the awards Monday, August 20th!
