Jack White blasted Donald Trump on Instagram after the president made comments about the deaths of director Rob Reiner and his wife, Michele, at their Los Angeles residence. The musician called Trump a disgusting egomaniac for exploiting the tragedy to push his agenda, and he said using someone's death for vanity represents a corrupt sin. White praised Reiner as a beautiful artist who contributed massively to the world, even though they never actually met.
Romy Reiner discovered her parents deceased at the family home when first responders showed up after getting emergency calls. Both victims were confirmed dead at the scene by authorities who arrived to investigate the situation.
Lukas Nelson dropped two tracks to beef up his American Romance album that already scored a Grammy nomination for best traditional country album. The singles A Certain Someone and The Last Wild River hit streaming platforms as bonus content for the 12-song project that critics loved when it came out earlier this year.
A Certain Someone starts stripped down with just Nelson and an acoustic guitar before piano slides in, and the lyrics deal with learning to accept yourself while waiting for the right person to show up. The Last Wild River brings fuller band energy with multiple guitar solos and a faster tempo that turns it into more of a jam track compared to the mellower first single.
Both songs could end up on a deluxe edition if...
4 Non Blondes showed up at KROQ Almost Acoustic Christmas without telling anyone and played their 1993 hit for the crowd at Kia Forum in California. Linda Perry let the audience handle the chorus while the band prepped for their sold-out West Hollywood shows happening right after. The group formed back in 1989 but only stuck around until 1994, and they dropped just one studio album during that run.
The alt-rock crew announced they're heading back to the studio for a new record that mixes fresh tracks with reworked old material, and it might drop sometime early next year. Their surprise appearance makes sense considering they've got multiple gigs lined up nearby, and the band originally started in San Francisco before splitting up...
Zambia squares off against DRC at the Pinata Sports Arena for a friendly ahead of AFCON, and head coach Moses Sichone said his squad respects their opponents on paper but plans to bring the fight once the whistle blows. The team got a boost after several foreign-based players showed up to camp, and the competition for starting spots heated up with guys like Klings Kangwa, Patson Daka, and Frankie Musonda all trying to lock down their positions.
New captain Fashion Sakala hyped up the roster by saying other countries will get caught off guard by how good this young Zambian side actually is, and he asked fans to keep backing the team after some rough results lately. Sichone told his players that anyone working hard in training gets a...
Patson Daka carried Zambia's national team through years of failing to reach AFCON between 2017 and 2023, dropping five goals during both the 2021 and 2023 qualifying campaigns when the squad desperately needed someone to step up. The Leicester City striker finished as joint top scorer with Victor Osimhen during one cycle and second highest behind him in another, but he dealt with brutal fan criticism after going nearly a year without scoring for club or country before finally ending the drought against Stoke City.
The Kafue Celtic product sits at 20 international goals as the highest-scoring active striker for the Chipolopolo, and he missed the most recent qualifiers because of injury, while Kennedy Musonda filled in with three goals...
Zambia's national soccer squad just switched up its leadership structure with Fashion Sakala taking over as the new captain while the team trains in Murcia, Spain. The coaching staff dropped Lubambo Musonda from the top spot but kept him around as first assistant captain, and they added Kings Kangwa, Frankie Musonda, and Benson Sakala to round out the leadership group.
Head coach Moses Sichone told everyone to back the changes ahead of AFCON, and Musonda handled the demotion pretty gracefully by encouraging his teammates to respect the new hierarchy. Sakala said the appointment came with massive responsibility to both the squad and the entire country, and he thanked his predecessor for setting a solid example during his time running...
Orlando Pirates winger Kamogelo Sebelebele keeps gushing about his teammate Sipho Mbule's abilities after watching him work during training sessions at the club. The 23-year-old player said Mbule possesses raw talent that stands out among the squad, and he described the midfielder as someone who blocks out outside noise while staying locked in on his performance. Sebelebele joined the Buccaneers this season alongside Mbule and other signings, and the team already picked up two trophies with both players contributing.
Mbule earned a call-up to the Bafana Bafana national squad preparing for AFCON in Morocco, and Sebelebele congratulated him while expressing motivation from seeing multiple Pirates teammates make the roster. The speedster...
TikTok creator Tucker Genal died after building a massive following on the platform with challenge videos featuring his two younger brothers. His siblings, Carson and Connor, broke the news through Instagram posts where Carson described Tucker as his hero and the kindest person he ever knew, and the family asked people to give them space while they figure out how to move forward.
Tucker played wide receiver at Furman University before graduating with a business degree, and he had over 2.5 million people watching his content. One of his close friends posted about how Tucker pulled him out of a really dark period five years back and basically gave him a reason to keep going, calling him the most selfless dude he'd ever met.
South African spinner Nonkululeko Mlaba climbed four spots to sixth place on the ICC Women's T20I bowling rankings after grabbing three wickets against Ireland at an average under 12 runs.
