Concerts and Tours

Ella Langley is standing by her decision to cancel a concert over a bomb threat ... telling fans she'd make the same call a billion times over because no show is worth someone's life.

The country star got emotional onstage in Lubbock, Texas Saturday night while addressing the scary situation that forced her to pull the plug on Friday's sold-out show in Tulsa, Oklahoma.

Ella told the crowd she was responsible for making a decision affecting thousands of people ... and she wasn't about to gamble with their safety.

Cornell University’s homecoming concert has been canceled amid the school's sexual assault scandal, as students rally in support of the alleged victim, identified as Jane Doe.

The Cornell Concerts Commission announced it's pulling the plug on its planned Homecoming Concert featuring indie-pop duo Between Friends, which had been scheduled for October 17 at Barton Hall.

The student-run group says the decision comes as it calls on Cornell's administration to do more to support survivors of sexual violence ... saying in a statement to social media, "The Cornell Concert Commission is a student-run organization and, as students, we stand with Jane Doe and all survivors of sexual violence."

4:12 PM PT -- Tulsa Police Department posted a statement on Facebook, saying they found "no credible threat" after "a call was made threatening the lives of people attending the event."

Police say the caller threatened to do "great harm" to concertgoers, through "shots fired and bombs."

They said they did a sweep with their bomb dogs after the call and didn't find anything.

Police insist they would never tell anyone to cancel their event if they couldn't find a credible threat. They say neither the police nor the BOK Center pulled the plug ... explaining it was Ella's team who decided to back out.

Ella Langley won't be taking the stage in Oklahoma tonight ... her show's been canceled due to a "serious security threat."

Tulsa's BOK Center took to social media to announce the abrupt cancellation, writing ... "Due to a serious security threat involving the safety of fans, venue personnel, and the artist, Ella Langley's scheduled performance tonight at BOK Center in Tulsa has been canceled."

The venue went on to say that safety was their top priority, and that's why they decided to pull the plug on the performance.

Legendary rock band Journey had to hit the pause button on their Oklahoma concert Thursday night -- after their drummer suffered a medical scare onstage and was rushed to the hospital.

Deen Castronovo fell ill two songs into their set at BOK Center in Tulsa, stopping the show in its tracks during their 2026 "Final Frontier" tour.

Shortly after Castronovo left the stage, keyboardist Jonathan Cain walked up to the microphone and told the packed crowd that Deen had a medical emergency.

Celine Dion was caught slipping at her recent show in France ... nearly going down hard while working the crowd ... and breaking her fall with effortless grace.

The singer-songwriter took the stage Wednesday night in Nanterre as part of her
Celine Dion Paris 2026–2027 concert series ... and during one of her songs, she got a little too into the music.

Celine jumped several times on one foot ... but then she lost her footing, and she fell to the deck, landing on her bottom and throwing out one arm to stop her from completely crashing to the ground.

Kelly Clarkson stopped her show cold Tuesday night ... after realizing someone in the crowd needed medical help ... and it's all on video.

The singer was performing at the House of Blues in Orlando when a woman in the audience suffered a medical emergency, prompting Kelly to stop the music in the middle of a song.

Footage obtained by TMZ shows Kelly keeping her eyes on the situation and even asking the crowd to quiet down ... saying, "I don't know if making noise is helping this situation."

Zach Bryan has officially broken the attendance record at Robert Kraft's Gillette Stadium ... on the very night he wore a "Free Palestine" shirt for the second time!

The stadium actually broke the news themselves ... sharing on Instagram that 73,538 fans had attended his show.

Many fans, including Bella and Gigi Hadid's sister Alana, were quick to point out that the photos the stadium posted avoided close-up shots of Zach's shirt.

Ed Sheeran is getting some musical support after his opening acts quit his tour ... as the singer brought out The Fray's former lead singer Isaac Slade.

Isaac -- who left The Fray in 2022 to focus on his mental health -- performed songs like "How to Save a Life" and "You Found Me" before Ed came out on his Saturday night show in Atlanta.

The opener also referenced the ongoing conflict in Gaza.

Zach Bryan has returned to Robert Kraft's Gillette Stadium after causing a stir with his first show, where he wore a "Free Palestine" shirt ... and night 2 was no different.

Zach Bryan's drummer joined in on his pro-Palestinian outfit choice at Robert Kraft's Gillette Stadium ... by wearing a jersey with a special meaning.

Musician Nate Head wore a white and tan striped "Palestine" jersey with the name Hind Rajab on the back and the number 5.

Rajab was a 5-year-old Palestinian girl who was killed in January 2024 after the Israeli military opened fire on the car she was in as her family tried to flee Israeli evacuation orders ... according to Al Jazeera.

Bobby Ross Avila says Chris Brown and Usher had no issues bringing Kanye West onstage as a special guest amid the rapper's history of antisemitic remarks.

Bobby joined the "TMZ Podcast" with Towanda and explained why Chris and Usher didn't hesitate to include Kanye during their tour, despite the current climate surrounding antisemitism in the music industry.

He says the decision was about Kanye’s artistry ... not the controversy surrounding him.

Macklemore's "Free Palestine Tour" is a hot ticket ... with the rapper announcing all three shows have already sold out ... just hours after tickets went on sale.

Macklemore shared the news Wednesday, saying the Dublin, Paris and London dates are sellouts ... and admitting he was "blown away" by the response.

He says the shows were put together quickly, with the belief that musicians can stand in solidarity with Palestinians, raise money, and use their platforms for activism.

New Found Glory returned to the stage for the first time since guitarist and founding member Chad Gilbert's death ... and the band made sure he was still very much part of the show.

The group performed Monday at EPCOT, with lead singer Jordan Pundik stopping by to pay tribute to his longtime bandmate ... telling the crowd, "Even though he's not here in body, he is here in spirit tonight."

Jordan said Chad was still there "in these songs, in our hearts, on this stage" and remembered how fiercely he loved his family, the band and its fans.

Ed Sheeran was the target of a pretty scathing joke during last night's "SNL UK" opening monologue ... which compared him to an obedient puppet.

"Chicken Shop Date" host Amelia Dimoldenberg told the crowd ... "I’ve been incredibly privileged to have done so many interviews with people like Idris Elba, Cher, and even a world-famous, red-headed puppet with a hand up his arse telling him what to say."

After a pic of her interviewing "Sesame Street" icon Elmo appeared, Amelia said ... "No, the other one."

Nicole Scherzinger suffered an enormous burn down her entire leg after boiling hot water was dropped on her ... but that didn't stop this Pussycat Doll from performing one hell of a show.

Taking to her Instagram Stories on Sunday ... the singer shared a gruesome photo of her blistering injury she suffered amid the Pussycat Dolls' European tour.

Over the gnarly pic ... Nicole wrote ... "Nothing like boiling water falling on your leg an hour before your set. But the show must go on."

Olivia Rodrigo's dress fell apart before fans' eyes as water poured down on her from above during an East Coast tour stop ... but it was not the weather's fault.

Despite the fact that a nor'easter has been pummeling the East Coast with flooding and rain ... the wardrobe malfunction was actually planned.

Olivia kicked off her 'Unraveled Tour' at the PeoplesBank Arena in Hartford, Connecticut over the weekend -- and when she took the stage to perform her hit "the cure" her pleated mini dress was literally washed away by artificial rain.
