David Sanborn, the saxophone great who helped bring jazz to the masses, is dead after battling cancer.

His family and management announced the sad news Monday morning on his X account, revealing David died on Sunday from prostate cancer, and complications related to the cancer.

Sanborn played the alto saxophone, and throughout his career, he bridged the worlds of jazz, rock, blues and R&B. For instance, he got his break in the Paul Butterfield Blues Band in 1967 and played with the group at Woodstock.

Diddy's son Christian AKA King Combs is now knee-deep in the 2024 Rap Wars -- dropping a diss track tackling rumors about the federal raids, and taking aim at his father's biggest rival ... 50 Cent!!!

Akademiks got ahold of the unreleased track Sunday, and played it on his livestream feed where it featured KC addressing all the disrespect on his family's name, and you gotta imagine it met his father's approval.

King established himself as a legitimate rapper and opens the track with aggressive bars, "I dare one of you n****s to scream out ‘No Diddy’ ... f**k that n****a up!!!" -- and then answers the constant question about Diddy's whereabouts, "Asking where my pops at?/He on a G6 getting a lineup."

Pearl Jam's guitarist fell hard off a stage while the band was performing in the Great White North -- and the worst part is ... the whole thing was caught on video.

Mike McCready was seen rocking out during his band's recent Vancouver show -- where he was in the middle of a guitar solo for "Porch." He was feeling the music as he made his way confidently towards the crowd ... but it seems he lost track of the stage.

Check it out ... unfortunately, Mike makes a misstep and tumbles off the stage, disappearing from sight. It looks like a brutal landing too -- 'cause the guy was definitely not expecting it.

Madonna is feeling all sorts of emotions about being a mom and about her own later mother -- and she's saluting her with a touching tribute.

She posted a shot of herself standing onstage -- during the "Celebration" tour -- under a giant photo of her namesake mother, Madonna Louise Ciccone ... reflecting on the last time she saw her right before she died from breast cancer in 1963.

Her mother was only 30 -- Madonna was 5 -- when she passed away.

Chilli and Matthew Lawrence might be ready to take the next step in their relationship -- at least she certainly sounds like it as she revealed what makes their romance work.

The Grammy winner stopped by Fox 5 Atlanta's "Portia" show, where she couldn't help but gush about the actor. As Chilli put it ... she and Matthew have zero drama in their relationship -- confessing they've never had an argument since linking about 2 years ago.

It appears Matthew has even changed Chilli's tune when it comes to marriage -- as she shared she has no fears about marrying the ex-child star.

Lil Meech had a memorable Mother's Day celebration -- 'cause he took his mom and grandma to the strip club ... and the internet is torn on whether it was cool or crude.

The rapper posted footage of the holiday excursion Sunday ...  when he and his sister brought Mama Bear and Grandmama Bear to the Magic City gentleman's club in Atlanta -- where it looked like they were in the VIP section ... with a bunch of dancers around.

Indeed ... the ladies were shaking it up in front of Meech's elders, and while his mom seemed to be enjoying it -- g'ma was a little more stoic, not cracking a smile under shades.

Kourtney Kardashian hit the Mother's Day jackpot 'cause her hubby, Travis Barker, showered with her love on the big day -- her first since welcoming their son Rocky in November.

The Blink-182 drummer pulled out all the stops gifting Kourt an extravagant floral display that lined her foyer ... and let's not forget his heartfelt IG tribute, where he dubbed her his best friend and partner.

Travis shared a bunch of snaps of KK cradling Rocky, and also tossed in a pic of them cuddling together for good measure.

Rihanna and A$AP Rocky were feeling nostalgic in the Big Apple this weekend for Mother's Day -- hitting the town looking damn good ... and then getting into this oldie-but-goodie.

The couple went out Sunday night in NYC for what looks to have been a parents-only date night ... and aside from the fashion statement they were making while stepping out -- par for the course, really -- they also made a splash with their sweet ride ... an old-school taxi.

Take a look ... RiRi and Rocky boarded a big yellow cab that looks like it's out of the 1970s -- with the checkered bordering and everything. It's like Bob De Niro was picking them up!

At just 9 years old, American entertainer Alisan Porter skyrocketed to stardom after playing the role of the brave and tough, Curly Sue -- who lost everything including her mother and her home -- in the comedy drama movie "Curly Sue" back in 1991.

Alisan played opposite of Jim Belushi who took in Curly Sue when she was an orphaned baby, Bill and Kelly Lynch who plays the wealthy divorce lawyer, Grey.

When she auditioned for the "The Voice," she not only wowed former judge Christina Aguilera -- but she won over the world, winning the competition back in 2016!

Mark Wahlberg's celebrating two special women on Mother's Day ... shouting out his wife Rhea Durham, and celebrating his late mom Alma on the holiday.

The actor shared a sweet post dedicated to the two women Sunday morning ... dropping a series of images including a throwback pic with the lovely ladies and the rest of his brood.

Check out the pics ... Marky Mark's kids are quite a bit younger -- but, there's his mom - clad in yellow -- with a big old grin on her face.

Taylor Swift's man Travis Kelce's back to his globetrotting ways ... meeting up with his girl at her show in Paris -- and hanging out with a pair of famous friends.

The Chiefs tight end made it for Sunday night's edition of the "Eras" tour -- which kicked off about an hour ago in the City of Lights -- and, it's kinda hard to miss the big man cutting a rug as his lady love belts out some tunes.

Travis isn't alone in the box either -- chilling with a couple people fans swear are another super couple ... Gigi Hadid and Bradley Cooper!!!

Taylor Swift fans have bad blood with a fellow Swiftie who left their infant lying on the floor of the Paris arena where Taylor's performing.

The shocking photo has gone viral, for obvious reasons, after it was posted by a woman who says she was at the Friday night show at La Défense Arena ... in the standing room section, when she spotted the child.

The photo shows the baby lying on what appears to be a feathered boa or jacket as an adult - hopefully a parent or guardian -- stands over them.

Some Anita Baker fans are scrambling for Mother's Day gifts this morning after the singer had to pull the plug on her show in Atlanta just a few minutes before it was supposed to start.

Anita's show at State Farm Arena was packed Saturday night, as many fans gifted the concert tickets to their moms to celebrate the weekend. We can see it ... Anita on Saturday night, brunch on Sunday and you're good.

Those plans were scrapped, though, less than 15 minutes before the curtain was scheduled to go up ... as fans who were already in the arena found out the show would NOT be going on this time.

Now we know what Sabrina Carpenter's shocked face looks like -- the singer was blown away by a surprise birthday party, and surrounded by her BF Barry Keoghan and a few dozen of her closest friends.

Sabrina screamed with joy as she walked into Dumbo House Saturday night in Brooklyn ... among the faces greeting her were rapper Ice Spice, who was shooting video as her pal tried to blow out all the candles on her 25th birthday cake.

The writing on her frosted cake said, "Is 25 that sweet? I guess so!" It's a reference to her song, "Espresso," which includes the line ... "Is it that sweet? I guess so!"

The New Orleans Pelicans were swept in the opening round of the NBA Playoffs ... but Master P knows the secret to getting the team on track, telling TMZ Sports he'd transform the team into a championship contender if he were on the coaching staff!

We caught up with the king of New Orleans and his hoops star son, Mercy Miller, at LAX recently and asked him about the Pels’ disappointing end to the season at the hands of the number one seed OKC Thunder.

While many fans have suggested the team move on from Zion Williamson, and some of the other key pieces, P says he’s optimistic about the future of NOLA hoops.

Bob Dylan didn't just do iconic music in his heyday -- he was painting crap too ... and one of his artwork pieces could be yours ... 'cause it's up for grabs, TMZ has learned.

A painting Bob did in 1968 -- from a previously unseen collection of work from Dylan's Woodstock years -- is on the auction block, and it features an abstract design of a bull ... as well as music notes, bow ties, animals, and other notable imagery.

The painted canvas was given to Woodstock-area resident Sandy LePanto in exchange for an astrology chart ... with the painting remaining with the LePanto family until recently, as it was rediscovered by Anthony LePanto's estate.
