Billie Eilish Dances to Her Own Hit Song at a Dodgers Game: Watch

Published

on

White shirt, not red but blue! Billie Eilish attended the Thursday (July 21) game between the Dodgers and Giants at L.A.’s Dodgers Stadium, but she did more than just watch the game — she danced to her own hit song.

The seven-time Grammy winner was sitting front row in the stands with brother Finneas and friends, dressed in a white Dodgers jersey opened up to reveal her classic Nine Inch Nails Pretty Hate Machine T-shirt, when the Dodgers’ DJ started playing the 20-year-old’s 2019 hit “Bad Guy” in between innings.

In video captured of the moment, as the Grammy-winning song begins to play, Eilish starts grooving to the hit, a smile on her face, while Finneas watches his sister as he remains seated. “A little dance cam during the half inning,” one of the announcer says in the clip. “How cool is it to dance to your own song at Dodgers Stadium?!”

“That’s pretty cool right there!” the other announcer agrees.

Earlier in the day, Eilish surprise-released an EP titled Guitar Songs, which featured two new songs — “TV” and “The 30th.” In announcing the new tunes, the pop star shared on Instagram that “these songs mean so so much to me.”

In a separate interview with Apple Music 1’s Zane Lowe, Elish explained that she’s been frustrated with releasing music lately because when you reach her level of success, everything becomes “this big deal.” “You got to send it in five months before you want it to come out, because you have to get finals ready, and you have to set a date, and you have to shoot the video, and you have to do the press for it … and this and that,” she shared. “Which is all fine, but it’s been so long since I’ve had music that we make and then it’s out.”

With Guitar Songs out, Eilish clearly let herself have a little fun at the baseball game. Watch her dance in the stands at Dodgers Stadium below.

Robert Smith Says 7,000 Scalped Cure Tickets Have Been Canceled

Published

on

The Cure‘s Robert Smith continues his long-drawn-out battle against the many monetary hurdles of the ticketing world — this time, he’s taking on secondary resale websites.

Just a few weeks ago, Smith was able to secure several refunds from Ticketmaster for fans looking to catch the British band on their forthcoming “Lost World” tour. Now, Smith says they’ve managed to cancel 7,000 scalped tickets and further announced a plan to resell scalped tickets and donate the original fees to the charity Amnesty International.

When the tour — the band’s first North American trek in seven years — was first announced on March 9, the Cure clearly stated they had opted out of Ticketmaster’s “platinum” and “dynamically priced” ticket options, both of which have infamously been the cause of a massive uptick in ticket prices (the latest case of this being Drake and 21 Savage’s “It’s All a Blur” summer tour.)

As a result, thousands of scalpers swept in, with Smith tweeting on Monday morning that “Approx 7k tickets across approx 2200 orders have been cancelled. These are tickets acquired with fake accounts / listed on secondary resale sites.”

The night prior, Smith said ticket buyers should not try to find a loophole with ticket transfer rules, and warned, “offering to sell/send account login details to get around [Ticketmaster] transfer limitations… any/all tickets obtained in this way will be canceled, and original fees paid on those tickets will not be refunded.”

This is just the latest update in a long list of efforts on Smith’s part to get ahead of the “‘Ticketmaster ‘Fees’ debacle,” he previously put it. “I am as sickened as you all are,” Smith wrote in a long string of all-caps Tweets earlier this month. “To be very clear: The artist has no way to limit them. I have been asking how they are justified. If I get anything coherent by way of an answer I will let you all know.”

The band will hit the road starting May 10 in New Orleans for 30 dates with a closing show on June 1 in Miami.

Illinois Theater Roof Collapse During Tornado Leaves One Concertgoer Dead, Dozens Injured

Published

on

A roof collapse at the Apollo Theater in Belvidere, Ill. left a 50-year-old man dead and dozens more injured on Friday evening.

The Apollo Theater was hosting “The United States of Terror” tour, headlined by four heavy metal bands — Crypta, Revocation, Skeletal Remains and Morbid Angel. After Crypta’s opening set, the venue made an announcement that the show would need to take a brief pause before Morbid Angel took the stage, due to the ongoing extreme weather conditions. Minutes after the initial announcement, the full roof collapsed on top of the concertgoers, per the New York Times.

The venue was hosting roughly 260 patrons at the time of the collapse, with many ticketholders having not yet arrived for what was expected to be a lengthy show. More than 40 people were hospitalized, with five people suffering severe injuries. At least one person died in the incident. Belvidere Fire Chief Shawn Schadle reported that two of those impacted are suffering with life-threatening injuries.

Band members of Crypta and Morbid Angel have shared that members of both groups sustained no serious injuries.

According to the National Weather Service, the Apollo suffered “possible tornado damage.” A storm with 75 mph winds had been sweeping through the northern Illinois and southern Wisconsin region. Authorities believe concertgoers weren’t aware of the storm and tornado sirens due to the volume of music at the venue.

A series of tornadoes have ripped through the Midwest and Southern United States in recent days, killing at least nine people in Indiana, Mississippi and Arkansas. At least 30 people were injured in Little Rock, Ark. ahead of the Belvidere emergency. 16 million people from Texas to Michigan were put under tornado watches on Friday.

Soon after the incident, Illinois Gov. J.B Pritzker notified residents that his administration was “closely monitoring” the situation and would soon have resources for those impacted.
