George Strait's played some of the biggest stages out there, gaining plenty of fans along the way ... and it looks like his supporters in South Carolina are going to get their chance to see the country star real soon.

The country star is planning on heading back to Clemson Memorial Stadium -- also known as Death Valley -- to play a show on May 2, 2026, according to Billboard.

Strait's not the only performer of the night, as he'll be supported by both Cody Johnson and Wyatt Flores at the concert.

It's worth noting the last time a concert was held at Clemson Memorial Stadium was all the way back in 1999 -- and it was headlined by Strait, too!

Strait shared an announcement about the planned event on Instagram Friday ... the post's caption said the "King" would be returning after a quarter-century.

Clemson Memorial Stadium can accommodate more than 80,000 fans, and we're thinking Strait's probably gonna fill most of those seats ... FYI, he formerly held the record for having the largest single ticketed concert crowd in U.S. history ... although his record was beaten by Zach Bryan in 2024.

Kylie Jenner says she was born dreaming of the recording studio ... joking she's been ready to be a pop star ever since she was born.

The aspiring singer-songwriter dropped a video on socials of her talking about her feature on the Terror Jr song "Fourth Strike" ... and, she told interviewer Carter Gregory, she "came out of the womb" ready for a career in pop music.

Jenner says she's never really pursued music because she never had the confidence -- yes, even beautiful, billionaire KarJenners have some self-doubts, too -- but, she explains getting older encouraged her to take the leap into the music industry.

Beyoncé and the girls "Run the World" ... and, right now she's traveling all the way around it ... 'cause she was just spotted shopping at a Yves St. Laurent in Qatar!

The singer-songwriter tried to keep a low profile in a mall Thursday -- darn-near impossible to do when you're a Queen -- tossing on an all-black outfit with a traditional headscarf.

It seems Bey mainly just did some window shopping ... she wasn't carrying any bags as she walked out of YSL ... though we'd guess she probably has someone to carry the load for her when she goes on a spree.

The legendary musician died Thursday after being hospitalized, and placed on life support ... with the family coming to the difficult decision to turn off his ventilator.

We broke the story ... Ace suffered a brain bleed after taking a nasty fall in studio a couple of weeks ago.

Ace Frehley, the original lead guitarist for KISS, died after being taken off a ventilator following a nasty fall and a brain bleed ... and tributes are pouring in from tons of rockers, including his KISS bandmates Gene Simmons and Paul Stanley.

In a statement to TMZ, Gene and Paul say ... "We are devastated by the passing of Ace Frehley. He was an essential and irreplaceable rock soldier during some of the most formative foundational chapters of the band and its history. He is and will always be a part of KISS's legacy. Our thoughts are with Jeanette, Monique and all those who loved him, including our fans around the world."

Former KISS guitarist Bruce Kulick says "Ace’s passing is devastating to the world of rock. It has deeply affected me as well. He was one of a kind and truly an iconic guitar player. His undeniable role in the creation and success of KISS cannot be forgotten.  Not only was he loved by all, he influenced millions of guitarists around the world."

In excerpts from "You Thought You Knew," obtained by UsWeekly -- Kevin claims Jamie Lynn messaged his wife about Britney "lashing out" on social media at the two boys she shares with Kevin ... Sean Preston and Jayden James.

K-Fed claims Jamie Lynn wrote ... "Honestly, this makes me want to cry because I feel for those boys so much. I’m her little sister by 10 years, and I can’t imagine what her actual children must feel like at times, but I am familiar with the feeling of being a dingy trying to survive in a wave caused by another’s ship, feeling like you have to rescue yourself. I always wanted her to get better, especially for the boys."

Ace Frehley had plenty of wild times throughout his career as a musician ... and we're here for all of them!

The guitarist was best known for rocking and rolling all night with KISS, the band he co-founded and performed with for years ... before taking off and embarking on his own solo career.

We're going to take a look into the performer's professional background and see what led up to his tragic death.

Ace was born Paul Daniel Frehley in 1951, and he was raised in The Bronx, New York City -- pretty far from Detroit Rock City, but he'd end up there eventually.

The performer reportedly received an electric guitar as a Christmas gift in 1964 ... and skipped  lessons, relying on the influence of guitarists like Jimi Hendrix and B.B. King, according to Variety.

His career as a musician began shortly afterward, when he dropped out of high school ... one of his bands began earning money, and another band signed with RCA Records.

Ace spoke about his early days as a musician in an interview with Guitar Player and said he'd "probably have practiced a little more" if he'd known he'd make it big one day.

Ace was one of the founding members of KISS -- alongside Paul Stanley, Gene Simmons, and Peter Criss -- which was founded in New York City all the way back in 1973.

Ace was the group's lead guitarist, and the group became pop culture icons for wearing makeup and costumes while performing, and their shows became legendary for their theatrics.

Ace didn't stay with the band forever, though ... he left the band in 1982 to focus on his solo career.

He eventually rejoined KISS, which was inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in 2014, after a 14-year break, and he remained with the group until 2002, when he took off for good.

Ace started his own band, Frehley's Comet, after his first departure from KISS. He was the group's lead guitarist and one of its main vocalists.

The group only lasted for a total of four years, although they had a few reunions after the release of their final album in 1988.

Ace's solo career continued after the band dissolved, and he released several albums under his own name over the years.

The late musician's most recently released record, "10,000 Volts," was released in 2024.

Ace died at the age of 74 on Thursday, October 16, 2025, after suffering a brain bleed caused by injuries sustained in a fall.

The guitarist's injury reportedly took place in a studio several weeks prior to his death.

Ace was subsequently hospitalized, and his family ended up making the decision to remove him from life support.

Ace Frehley's family announced he passed away Thursday evening.

We're told he's been on a ventilator for some time, and hasn't gotten better -- so, his family is considering turning off support ... perhaps as soon as Thursday evening.

While there are several social media posts indicating he's already passed ... we're told the 74-year-old guitar icon was still on the ventilator as of Thursday afternoon.
