Robert Plant honored Stephen Colbert with a performance of 'Ramble On,' a song rich with references to J.R.R. Tolkien's The Lord of the Rings, which Colbert loves.

(What's the Story) Morning Glory? went on to become the bestselling British album of the 90s, selling a phenomenal 350,000 copies in its first week of release in October 1995 and would go on to sell 22m, making it one of the top 50 of all time.

Adapted from a stage play by Alfie author Bill Naughton, The Family Way finds its material in the trials of a pair of northern newlyweds who, having been fleeced by a crooked travel agent, end up having to spend their honeymoon at home. What's worse, given their impecuniousness, "home" meant a room in the house of the groom's parents.

Cox played a key role in creating Pentangle's unique style, but also worked with a remarkable array of artists, including Charles Aznavour, the Bee Gees, David Bowie and Elton John.

But John loved her, and that's the bottom line. You really can't go beyond that, no matter what you might think. Not my type, but I swear she rang me shortly after John died and said, 'You know, I think John might have been gay.'

I said, 'Yeah, sure.' Then I put the phone down. I thought, Well, what about me? I'm not inducted. Now John's going to go in. The thing about John Lennon and McCartney was we were always equal. But, of course, once John got murdered, he became the martyr - the Buddy Holly, the James Dean character - because of the atrocity. So a revisionism started to go on.

Neville might not dig up any new revelations or eyebrow-raising moments, but it does elevate the voice of McCartney and relates how some naysayers have discounted his post-Beatles work while others—including John Lennon's son, Julian—consider some of his so-called misfires to be ingenious.

Becoming Led Zeppelin, a film about the British band that dominated the music industry in the 1970s, was the most successful feature documentary at the US box office in 2025, taking over $10m. (Taylor Swift's The Official Release Party of a Showgirl grossed considerably more, with $34m, but as an album-promoting clipshow it is evidently in a different category.) Despite breaking up in 1980 after the death

I don't want to get into the Beatles thing, not coyly, but actually because I think the world hopefully will benefit from knowing as little as possible going into it.

Vernon's upbringing in Surrey was typical of many children born in the mid-1940s: he sang in his church choir, listened to the jazz and show tune LPs his parents owned and was bowled over by the arrival of rock'n'roll, responding most strongly to the likes of Little Richard, Fats Domino and Larry Williams.

"I'll Follow the Sun" is "a 'Leaving of Liverpool' song," McCartney explained in his 2021 book The Lyrics. "I'm leaving this rainy northern town for someplace where more is happening." Once they did leave, the band's rise to fame was stratospheric.

Yungblud has been rubbing elbows with a number of legendary rock stars lately, and he hopes that a newfound connection with Pearl Jam singer Eddie Vedder leads to a collaboration in the future.

Limited to 150, the new model was handcrafted in the Gibson Custom Shop in Nashville using advanced 3D scanning, period-correct materials and construction techniques, with Murphy Lab hand-aging to mirror every detail of Richards' original black ES-355 - first used in 1969 and later during the sessions for the Rolling Stones' classics Sticky Fingers and Exile on Main St and beyond.

I read Geddy's book [ My Effin' Life, published in 2023], and he mentioned about all the drummers kind of offering themselves to them and how much it turned him and Alex off, Portnoy said. I did send my condolences to Geddy and Alex after Neil passed, but I never once tried to throw my hat in the ring for Neil's gig. I realize that's a sacred role that should only ever be filled if Geddy and Alex choose for it to be so. And sure enough, here we are with them choosing to finally do so, which has been really incredible.

"When I read the fine print, it was 'an experience with REO Speedwagon's music.' It's none of the original members," Fletcher recalls. "I don't want to promote the show unless it's the real thing. I don't know why you would want to see that. It's just a cover band. To me, that's a little bit strange." He adds, with a sigh, "If there are no original members, who cares?"
