ZZ Top’s scheduled show Wednesday at the Hollywood Bowl in Los Angeles has been canceled.
“The ZZ Top tour has unforeseen personnel matters that have forced the band to cancel its appearance at the Los Angeles landmark,” a press release reads.
Those who purchased tickets will be refunded at point of purchase.
The Hollywood Bowl show was part of ZZ Top’s The Big One! U.S. tour and also featured Cheap Trick on the bill.
In light of the cancellation, Cheap Trick will be playing their own show at the Troubadour in L.A. on Wednesday.
ZZ Top’s tour is scheduled to resume Friday in Fresno, California.

Former Deep Purple bassist and vocalist Glenn Hughes has announced his retirement from live performing.
“Upon his Doctor’s advice, Glenn will have to undergo heart surgery and has made the difficult decision to step back from live performances for the foreseeable future,” reads a post on social media.
Glenn goes on to explain that he’s been dealing with “some health issues” over the past year.
“The results from numerous MRIs, CT scans, and an echocardiogram have alerted my medical team, that I need another open-heart surgery,” he writes. “I really have no option and no choice as health is my number one priority.”
“Grateful to have been chosen with a life full with the gift of music… Thank you for walking beside me,” he adds.
Hughes, who was a member of Deep Purple from 1973 to 1976 and briefly fronted Black Sabbath in the mid-’80s, was supposed to launch a U.S. tour back in March. He canceled those dates in January to deal with a “minor health issue.” The tour was supposed to be in support of his 15th studio album, Chosen, which was released in September 2025.
He had planned to perform an Oct. 2 show with The Purple Daisies in Agoura Hills, California, but that show is no longer happening.

The 49th anniversary of My Aim Is True, Elvis Costello’s debut album, is being celebrated with a five-CD box set, featuring a whole host of bonus material.
My Aim Is True (49th Anniversary Edition) will feature 104 tracks, 52 of which were previously unreleased. It includes a 2026 remaster of the original album, along with demos, outtakes, live performances and interviews. All five CDs come with extensive liner notes from Costello, as well as rare and unseen photos, handwritten lyrics from his notebook and more.
The set is being previewed with the release of four previously unreleased recordings that show the evolution of one of the song’s classic tracks, “Watching the Detectives.” Among those tracks are a live performance featuring The Attractions, recorded on July 8, 1978, at the Winterland Ballroom in San Francisco.
“Making my first record seemed like the beginning of something that I’d imagined for a long time, before I had any sense of a potential audience, let alone the expectation and the assumptions of others about songs written and performed in mere minutes,” Costello writes in his liner notes. “Nevertheless, I raise a chaste glass to My Aim Is True and all who sail in her.”
My Aim Is True (49th Anniversary Edition) will be released Oct. 2. The original album is also getting an 180-gram black vinyl and CD reissue. All are available for preorder now.

Eddie Vedder performed at the funeral for late Irish singer-songwriter Glen Hansard, which was held Tuesday at St Patrick’s Cathedral in Dublin.
The Pearl Jam frontman sang “Song of Good Hope,” a track off Hansard’s 2012 debut album, Rhythm and Repose. Vedder was joined in the performance by Markéta Irglová, who played with Hansard in the band The Swell Season and co-starred with him in the film Once.
Vedder and Hansard were longtime friends and collaborators — Hansard played in Vedder’s solo band, The Earthlings, and opened for Vedder and Pearl Jam on several occasions. Hansard also cowrote the debut song by Vedder’s daughter Olivia Vedder, “My Father’s Daughter.”
Hansard’s funeral included remarks from U2’s Bono, who spoke about how everyone felt like they were one of Hansard’s best friends. He also played a voice message from Patti Smith, who sang a lullaby for Hansard’s family and friends.
Bono then began reading the lyrics to U2’s “Beautiful Day,” before his bandmate The Edge joined him in getting the mourners to sing along to part of the song.
Hansard died on July 29 in a motorcycle accident. He was 56.
‘Gregg Allman: The Music of My Soul’ (Subtext/Rolling Stone Films)
The new Gregg Allman documentary Gregg Allman: The Music of My Soul is hitting the road.
After opening in theaters in June, the film is getting over 40 one-night-only screenings in music venues across the country, giving fans a chance to experience the film on a big screen with high quality sound. Some of the screenings will also feature Q&As with the film’s director, James Keach, and/or producer Michael Lehman.
“It is incredibly rewarding to bring Gregg Allman: The Music of My Soul to audiences around the country,” says Lehman, who was also Allman’s longtime manager. “Having the opportunity to share stories about making the film and my years managing Gregg will make the evening especially meaningful.”
He adds, “I hope the attendees leave with an even deeper appreciation for Gregg’s extraordinary music, his remarkable life, and the legacy he continues to inspire.”
The special screenings will kick off Sept. 1 in Seattle, with dates confirmed through March 18, 2027, in San Francisco. Additional screenings will be announced, with the run expected to wrap Dec. 8, 2027, on what would have been Allman’s 80th birthday.

Bruce Springsteen has revealed that his wife, E Street Band member Patti Scialfa, is in remission after being diagnosed with multiple myeloma, a form of blood cancer, in 2018.
Springsteen’s revelation came in recorded video played at an event ahead of Saturday’s Pan-Mass Challenge bike ride in Boston, which raises money for the Dana-Farber Cancer Institute.
In the video, posted to the Springsteen fan account Spring-Nuts, The Boss first addressed Pan-Mass founder and chairman Billy Starr, and the “whole PMC family.”
“Since 1980, you have inspired a community that has done something remarkable,” he said. “You’ve never stopped believing that ordinary people can make an extraordinary difference. And because of that countless lives have been saved.”
Springsteen then talked about his wife’s cancer battle.
“As you know, Patti’s been living with her multiple myeloma for over eight years, but now, thankfully, she is in remission,” he said.
“Patti’s journey has taught us something I hope every one of us and every American can understand. Medical research isn’t an idea. It isn’t politics. It isn’t a line in a budget,” Springsteen added. “It’s the reason families find hope when hope seems hardest to find. When we lose sight of that we lose sight of one another and that’s too high a price for anyone to pay.”
The video also featured Springsteen performing an acoustic version of “Born to Run,” which he called “one of my best riding songs.”
Scialfa opened up about her cancer diagnosis in the 2024 Springsteen documentary Road Diary: Bruce Springsteen and The E Street Band. She shared the news while explaining why she had not been performing with the E Street Band during Springsteen’s 2024 tour.
