On Monday afternoon, soon after canceling the remainder of his Saint Pablo tour, Kanye West was hospitalized in the Los Angeles area. He is currently under medical observation.
Kanye West, a man of many opinions, has yet another one: Frank Ocean should be nominated for a Grammy.

During an ANTI tour stop in Dublin, Ireland on Tuesday, Rihanna broke into tears on stage as the crowd sang the words to “Love the Way You Lie.” She’s cried on tour before (in 2013 while singing “Stay”), a moment that also seemed like genuine waterworks.

Lauryn Hill is so infamous for showing up wild late to concerts (as in up to four hours late) that people avoid even attending her shows. After fans in Atlanta waited over two hours on Friday, Hill posted what sounds like a bullshit explanation on Facebook.

Although it has not been a month since the massacre that brought their concert at the Bataclan theater to a bloody, terrifying halt, members of the rock band Eagles of Death Metal have already returned to the Paris stage.
It was another big night for Taylor Swift and her bedazzled two-pieces as the 1989 tour rolled into Washington, D.C., bringing with it special guest appearances by Lorde, after performances in New Jersey with some models that I can’t tell apart, and Orange Is the New Black’s Uzo Aduba.
