there to meet fans. So that's kind of cool.

They're going to be some of the guests at that gathering the week after that show, so I know some of you actually might be making the pilgrimage for that show. I wish I was. I really do, I really you should do it. At this point, it would be not financially conducive, I don't think with ticket price, and yeah.
That would be expensive. What if somebody here could get you tickets and then you know, I can do something in one hand and something else in the other. As you like to say.
Becoming led Zeppelin, the authorized documentary from the iconic rock band, will finally be premiering on one of the streaming services.

get to the theaters to see Becoming led Zeppelin. It will be available on Netflix starting June seventh.
That's gonna be great.

There's bands that would really like you not to have your cell phones out during their performances. In fact, there's some artists who will make you turn it in before you go into the show. Maiden's not doing that. They're asking for an honor system here.
They have just kicked off. They're a Run for Your Lives world tour in Budapest, also the debut of their new drummer, Simon Dawson and Smallwood has. Basically, he said he wanted to say thank you to the fans who respected the band's requests and is trying to give another friendly reminder for the dates moving forward. Please put your cell phones away and focus on, you know, watching the band perform and being part of the show with the bands.
Yeah, the show and the music. Why you're there in the first place.
Says The band's new production is allowing fans to experience like songs in a new way, and he emphasized the importance of watching that with your own two eyes rather than.
You know, through some camera lens. We'll see how that goes.

In a new interview, Heart guitarist Nancy Wilson spoke about the first twenty twenty five leg of the band's Royal Flush tour, which saw her sister in Heart singer Anne Wilson performing while seated in a wheelchair. Nancy said let me clarify for sure, she's okay. She kicked the ass of cancer, referring to the treatment that Anne has undergone recently with surgery and a preventive chemo after announcing her cancer diagnosis back in twenty four she's completely clear clear
of cancer. The last night of rehearsal, but for the first leg of the tour in Nashville, where it was icy, she fell leaving rehearsal and broke her elbow. She had to be in the chair with her elbow up on a pillow, so it's not like it's because of the cancer.
So she was saying.
She's going to be out of the chair soon enough for the upcoming dates, which is good news for anybody who's concerned over that whole visual. And I think we should finish with a congratulations to shine.
Down what have they done now? I mean, it's not stop with the guys.
The current song that you're hearing on an awful lot of radio stations on a lot of different formats three six five, including here on JR R, has hit number one on the Alternative radio chart, giving it four four different charts that they're on right now at one time. It's an amazing song, number one on Alternative, number eleven, Hot AC, number thirty two on top forty, and top
twenty at mainstream AC. This is what this band has been able to do is just find a way to cross over, and there will be so many different bands. You're like, some bands will call that selling out. Yeah, no it is. It is not, and those bands would be liars. They would love to have the crossover appeal that this just select few bands have.
It's the exact thing that Brent came in here and talked about with us. How he said, I urged the label do not just label us as only a rock band. We play to all people. We just play work.
We write these songs, we play these songs from the heart, and you have to respect that the honesty. Yeah, the fans picked up on that, obviously, we say more power to you guys.
