Police responded to the Miami home of celebrity gossip blogger Perez Hilton after it appeared he was harming himself during a livestream. In the clips posted to social media, Hilton was covered in blood and was using an object to cut himself.

Miami-Dade County Sheriff’s Office confirmed to Page Six that they received "multiple calls” of “an individual live-streaming acts of self-harm on social media” on the night of Tuesday, Aug. 4. Officers were dispatched and confirmed that Hilton was alone inside his home, going on to speak with family members, which led to them deciding to “tactically disengage while continuing to monitor the situation.”

“In many incidents involving a person experiencing a mental health crisis or actively harming themselves, deputies prioritize de-escalation by creating time, distance, and opportunities for communication,” the Miami-Dade County said in a statement. “Unless there is an immediate threat to others, slowing the situation and utilizing crisis intervention techniques can reduce the likelihood of a suicide-by-cop encounter and minimize the risk of injury to the individual, deputies, and the public."

Variety further reports that the Miami-Dade County Sheriff’s Office also confirmed Hilton was safely transported from his home to a local hospital and is receiving medical attention.

Golden Artists Entertainment Co-CEOs Dante Rusciolelli and Rebekah Kochan also released a statement to TMZ about Hilton, who is their client.

"We are aware of the concerning content circulating online involving our client, Perez Hilton," the statement said. "At this time, we have not been able to make direct contact with him, despite our ongoing efforts to reach him. Our primary concern is Perez's health and well-being, as well as the well-being of his family. Until we have confirmed information, we will not speculate or comment further.

"We appreciate everyone's concern and ask that his privacy be respected during this time."

As the search for Nancy Guthrie stretches past the six-month mark, a reporter who spent weeks digging into the case says the investigation may have lost its best opportunity almost immediately.

During a recent appearance on Brian Entin Investigates, Wall Street Journal reporter Valerie Bauerlein reflected on her publication's in-depth investigation into Guthrie's disappearance, arguing that a series of early missteps and missed opportunities in the first 48 hours set the case back before it had truly begun.

"It was such a high-profile case 6 months ago, and there was so many incremental pieces of information," Bauerlein said in a video shared to YouTube on Tuesday, August 4. "It was really hard to figure out where we were in the case...What
were the steps of the investigation so far and where are we? How close are we to solving the disappearance of Nancy Guthrie?"

She continued, "Your opportunity to get the most and best information you can is that first 24 and 48 hours. And there were so many decisions made in that critical time period that were missteps, bad luck, [and] bad calls.

According to Bauerlein, that the unsecured crime scene could have led to contamination, pointing to reporters accessing the front porch, and a food delivery person ringing Guthrie's doorbell just days after her disappearance.

"That set them really back on their heels," she said, adding that the lack of "breaks" in the case has not helped investigators solve Guthrie's disappearance.

"So there were sort of like some bad calls, some bad luck, but then also, and I think this is what you and many people have been following the case recently have felt, a little bit of bad blood, kind of like bad feeling between different parties," Bauerlein continued.

The 84-year-old mother of Today host Savannah Guthrie was taken from her home in the early morning hours of February 1. Investigators were later able to uncover previously lost footage from Guthrie's front doorbell camera.

However, in the six months since her disappearance, the investigation has seemingly stalled.

"[This is] the only case, the only open missing person's case in Pima County, that from 1986, as we understand it, where not just was the person abducted in their home, but she was older than 60 years old," Bauerlein revealed. "It just doesn't happen. So, in fairness, they didn't know that this was a violent abduction because it just doesn't happen very often."

By 1975, the Bee Gees knew they needed a fresh start.

Just four years earlier, Barry, Robin and Maurice Gibb had topped the Billboard Hot 100 with "How Can You Mend a Broken Heart." But after a string of disappointing albums and singles, the brothers found themselves, in Barry Gibb's words, "sort of out of vogue." According to "The Billboard Book of Number One Hits," Atlantic Records even declined to release one of the group's albums, while the brothers found themselves playing clubs where audiences were more interested in drinking than listening.

"We were trying to make a comeback," Barry later recalled to Music & Musicians magazine. "It was 1975."

That comeback arrived in early August 1975, when "Jive Talkin'" reached No. 1 on the Billboard Hot 100. The lead single from Main Course became the Bee Gees' first chart-topper in four years and marked the beginning of a remarkable second act that would soon make them the defining voices of the disco era—as Ultimate Classic Rock called it, "Jive Talkin'" was their "comeback song."

The inspiration for "Jive Talkin'" came from an unlikely place: a bridge in Miami.

While recording Main Course at Criteria Studios, the Bee Gees drove across the Julia Tuttle Causeway each night between the studio and Biscayne Bay. Barry couldn't shake the rhythmic "clickety-clackety" sound their car made crossing the bridge.

"The bridge made a clickety-clackety sound," Barry remembered. "It stayed in my head, and one night, coming back from the studio, I just started singing this thing over top of the rhythm. Robin and Maurice picked up on it, and we actually finished the song late that night."

The song's working title was "Drive Talking," but that changed after producer Arif Mardin explained that the phrase "jive talkin'" was slang for telling lies, not dancing, as the brothers had assumed. The Gibbs quickly reworked the lyrics to match the new title while keeping the infectious groove that had inspired the song in the first place.

That groove also reflected a broader shift in the band's sound.

"There was the idea of us moving more into R&B, becoming more Americanized," Barry said. Recording in Miami proved to be the perfect change of scenery, a move he later credited to fellow RSO artist Eric Clapton.

After Clapton told Barry that recording 461 Ocean Boulevard in America had fueled his own comeback, he suggested the Bee Gees do the same. "Why don't you try to work in another country like America and see if you're influenced by it?" Barry recalled Clapton saying. "We did, and never looked back."

The Bee Gees and their label even took an unconventional approach to releasing the single.

Promotional copies of "Jive Talkin'" were mailed to radio stations in plain white sleeves with no artist identification, allowing DJs to judge the song without any preconceived notions about the band. It was a tactic the Bee Gees had used years earlier with "New York Mining Disaster 1941," when some listeners even wondered if it might be a new Beatles record.

The gamble paid off.

"Jive Talkin'" climbed to No. 1 on the Billboard Hot 100, giving the Bee Gees their biggest hit in years and signaling that their comeback was complete. More importantly, it introduced the sleek R&B and dance sound that would soon define the group through hits like "You Should Be Dancing," "Stayin' Alive," "Night Fever" and "How Deep Is Your Love."

Today, 51 years after it reached No. 1, "Jive Talkin'" remains far more than just another chart-topping single. It was the record that transformed the Bee Gees from a band searching for a second chance into one of the biggest acts in music history.

Hinting at what to expect from their 40-date tour, the post also includes a special message from Belew.

He teased fans that the forthcoming tour will offer a different experience from BEAT's previous shows.

"For those of you who've seen BEAT live, it's important to note we'll be adding some material from '90s Crim to our Fall tour. Along with the addition of Superman drummer Terry Bozzio, we feel this will result in a new experience for our audience — and this may be your last chance to hear this band play these songs. We're very excited to play for you again. Don't miss it!" the frontman shared.

Tickets will go on sale Friday at 10 a.m. local time, while the artist presale will begin at 12:00 p.m. Eastern Time on Aug. 4.

Three decades after forming in San Francisco, Imperial Teen is gearing up for another chapter.

The beloved '90s indie rock band has announced its seventh studio album, All Over You, arriving Oct. 9 via Merge Records. Alongside the announcement, the group shared the album's lead single, "Overdrive," and confirmed its first run of headline tour dates since 2020.

"Overdrive" perfectly captures the qualities that have made Imperial Teen a cult favorite for decades.

The song came together during a last-minute burst of inspiration while recording in Provincetown. Guitarist and vocalist Will Schwartz recorded the final vocal take just before catching a ferry, with bandmate Roddy Bottum describing the session as “magical.” The track also includes a playful nod to the Sex Pistols and the album's only lyrical reference to the internet.

The new record reflects the band's unique creative process.

Although Bottum, Schwartz, bassist Jone Stebbins and drummer Lynn Truell now live in different cities, they continue to write by gathering for occasional creative retreats before reconvening to record.

"We live great distances away from each other, so initially, we get together to collaborate, write, and create," Stebbins said in a statement. "When we have enough material, we reconvene to record. Both scenarios, creating and recording, take multiple trips, sometimes with big lapses of time in between due to our various schedules."

The process has defined several of the band's albums, pulling back the curtain at the long stretches in between.

"Imperial Teen works best when everyone is involved," Bottum said in a 2020 interview. "So we always try to aim for most people singing. But then we get into the studio and there are so many options. We’re singing along, doing the songs, and just add things as we go."

Musically, All Over You expands on the band's signature sound.

The album blends bubblegum pop melodies, dual male-female harmonies, crunchy guitars, electronic textures and power-pop hooks while exploring themes of desire, disconnection, and the challenges of making art. "We want to make people dance and think and feel at the same time," Schwartz said.

The announcement also marks Imperial Teen's long-awaited return to the stage.

Following two sold-out performances with The Breeders at San Francisco's Castro Theatre in August, the band will embark on a headline tour beginning in October with stops in Los Angeles, San Francisco, Seattle, Portland, Boston, Brooklyn, Philadelphia and Durham.

Since emerging in the mid-1990s, Imperial Teen has carved out a distinctive place in alternative rock through albums including Seasick, What Is Not to Love and Feel the Sound. Their blend of sharp songwriting, infectious melodies, and wry humor has earned the quartet a devoted following while influencing generations of indie pop artists.

Thirty years after forming, Imperial Teen continues to evolve without losing the qualities that made the band so beloved in the first place. With All Over You and a return to touring, the veteran rockers are proving their creative chemistry remains as vibrant as ever.

Blondie had already become one of new wave’s biggest names by the time the band released “Atomic” in 1980. Led by singer Debbie Harry and guitarist Chris Stein, the group took punk and mixed it with pop, disco and all kinds of unexpected influences. 

Formed in New York in 1974, Blondie quickly developed a sound that stood apart from many of their new wave peers. Their early success came with their self-titled debut album, which helped land them tours with artists like David Bowie and Iggy Pop. But it was their third album, Parallel Lines, that got them onto the radio and into the charts.

That record produced some of the band’s biggest early hits, including “Hanging on the Telephone” and “Heart of Glass.” The latter’s disco influence led some critics to accuse Blondie of selling out, but the band’s willingness to experiment became one of their greatest strengths.

By the time Blondie released their fourth album, Eat to the Beat, in 1979, they were already international stars. The album featured “Atomic,” a song that showcased the band’s ability to combine their new wave sound with something different.

"Atomic" came out in 1980 and reached No. 1 on the U.K. Singles Chart, while it peaked at No. 39 on the Billboard Hot 100 in the U.S. Despite the difference in chart performance, it became one of the records people instantly associate with Blondie.

The song was written by Harry and keyboardist Jimmy Destri, who originally set out to create something with a similar feel to “Heart of Glass.”

“He was trying to do something like ‘Heart of Glass’, and then somehow or another we gave it the Spaghetti Western treatment,” she said, per Far Out. 

You can hear that influence in "Atomic," from its dramatic guitars to its film-like sound. It blends new wave, disco rhythms and even western twang into something totally unique.

Harry also explained that the song’s lyrics came together naturally as Blondie worked through the music. 

“The lyrics, well, a lot of the time I would write while the band were just playing the song and trying to figure it out. I would just be scatting along with them and I would just start going, ‘Ooooooh, your hair is beautiful,” she once said. 

While listeners have debated the meaning behind “Atomic,” Harry has said the word itself was chosen because it sounded powerful rather than because it carried a specific message. 

Whatever the meaning, one thing's for sure. The song's catchy rhythm, Harry's powerhouse vocals and Blondie's genre-bending sound are what made it work.

Glenn Hughes, the legendary former bassist and lead vocalist for Deep Purple known as “The Voice of Rock,” made the announcement today that classic rock fans have been dreading for months: He's stepping away from live performances due to health concerns.

“This past year, I've had some health issues,” Hughes said in a statement, per Blabbermouth. “The results from numerous MRIs, CT scans, and an echocardiogram have alerted my medical team that I need another open-heart surgery. I really have no option and no choice, as health is my number one priority. Grateful to have been chosen with a life full of the gift of music. … Thank you for walking beside me."

GLENN HUGHES Announces Retirement From Touring And Live Performances https://t.co/kjMOmlm79d pic.twitter.com/dp0iur8Ggd

The news doesn’t come as too much of a surprise, since earlier this year, Hughes called off The Chosen YearsTour, originally scheduled for March 27 to May 10, citing minor health issues. But it still comes as a bummer, as fans were looking forward to ThePurple Daisies encore this fall and want only good things and good health for the rock star.

According to the outlet, Hughes' last live performance was on May 30 at the Arcada Theatre in St. Charles, Illinois. Joining The Dead Daisies, Hughes performed alongside guitarist Doug Aldrich, drummer Tommy Clufetos, and guitarist David Lowy for a “50/50 set.”

The overwhelmingly positive response to the shared “Purple Daisies” show spurred on a second, initially scheduled for Oct. 2 in Agoura Hills, California. However, following the recent news, that show has been canceled along with any other upcoming sets.

Hughes joined Deep Purple in 1973, replacing bassist/vocalist Roger Glover. He performed on three of the band’s studio albums: Burn, Stormbringer, and Taste the Band. Since the band’s initial breakup in 1976, he has not rejoined the group, although he was inducted into the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame with Deep Purple in 2016.

In the late ’70s, Hughes launched his solo career, withPlay Me Out serving as his debut album. A blend of hard rock, soul, and funk, his solo catalog is full of acclaimed releases including From Now On…(1994), Addiction (1996), Music for the Divine(2006), and his latest, Chosen (2025).

Nearly six decades in the industry, Hughes has become one of the defining voicesof rock and roll. And even though he’s departing the stage for now, he has made clear that he’s not leaving music altogether and will continue writing, recording, and creating in the studio.

It's not uncommon for legendary artists to have a much lower opinion of their most popular work than the majority of fans, and Bob Weir is the perfect example. The Grateful Dead icon was a driving force behind some of the band's most beloved tunes, such as "Sugar Magnolia" and "Jack Straw" (both co-written with lyricist Robert Hunter). But as it turns out, a song that's now considered by many to be one of his best was a tune he later confessed to hating.

The seventh and final track on the Grateful Dead's 1973 album Wake of the Flood, "Weather Report Suite" is a three-part song lasting almost 13 minutes long. Weir wrote the song with the help of John Barlow and Bobby and Eric Andersen...and a bottle of whiskey, apparently.

"The fast part ['Let It Grow'] was one of the few times Barlow and I sat and wrote words and music simultaneously," Weir explained in a 2001 interview with Alan Paul. "The slow part was written completely separately."

According to Weir, "Weather Report Suite" went on to take a frustratingly "sappy" turn.

"I liked the music, but it sounded like a love song, which is not my forte," Weir said. "Then Eric Andersen and I got a bottle of whiskey and wrote this sappy love song. I always hated what we did, which is why that part of the song vanished for years. Those words couldn't pass my lips without me visibly retching, and I'm not going to do anything that I'm embarrassed about walking into. I do enough stuff that I'm embarrassed about after the fact!"

The song did indeed "vanish" — or at least part of it did. The performance of "Weather Report Suite" in the video above, which was filmed during production of The Grateful Dead Movie, was the last time the band played all three parts of the song live, according to David Lemieux, the Grateful Dead's audiovisual archivist. ("Let It Grow," however, became a concert staple.)

Despite Weir's feelings about "Weather Report Suite," the song remains a fan-favorite over 50 years later.

"Teenage me blasted ['Weather Report Suite'], winding through New Hampshire mountain roads at midnight, getting out of my car in dense fog to look at darkness," Phish bassist Mike Gordon told Rolling Stone in 2018.

Earlier this year, following Weir's death at the age of 78, music critic Andrew Sacher of Brooklyn Vegan ranked "Weather Report Suite" at #1 on his list of Weir's 10 best songs.

"It starts out as gentle folk rock that isn’t miles away from Workingman’s Dead/American Beauty/Ace, with some nice organ, pedal steel, and angelic harmonies fleshing things out," Sacher wrote. "Then new things start to come in. First gospel harmonies, and then it changes even more, when it switches from its lazy-Sunday first half to the more sinister-sounding 'Let It Grow' portion. Keith Godchaux starts pounding on his piano, and Bobby delivers some of his most commanding pop songwriting. Then enters the triumphant horns and strings."

"This was a turning point for the Dead, an orchestral rock song cycle that rivaled Tommy and side B of Abbey Road, both in ambition and in how fun it is to listen to," Sacher added. "It helped set the tone for some of the most exciting aspects of the Dead’s ’70s studio material, and it wouldn’t have happened without Bob Weir."

Not bad for a sappy love song.

A year after The Killers performed in the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame ceremony in honor of Warren Zevon, lead singer Brandon Flowers has reached a breaking point as he prepares to release his first solo album in 11 years. During his interview withThe Times, the 45-year-old frontman revealed he's gotten very close to quitting the music biz altogether: “I’m really going through it right now: How much longer do I want to do this, what does it mean, why am I doing it anyway?"

He continued, "Whenever I finish a tour, without fail I get sick.” and explained that his father lives a happy, simple life, buying frames at yard sales to paint, which has made Flowers consider seeking purpose offstage when life on the road takes its toll. The Killers have been a synth pop rock music mainstay for 25 years, since their debut album Hot Fuss the Las Vegas act has made a neon-lit splash across the pond and around the world with countless hits such as "Mr. Brightside", "When You Were Young", "Human", "The Man" and "Shot at the Night" across a long catalogue of hit record releases. It's still fairly early on in their trajectory to take a step back, like My Chemical Romance before them, who stopped after 4 records to take a hiatus and aren't releasing new music as they tour The Black Parade for its anniversary.

For The Killers frontman, there's still creative gas in the tank, as his third solo album, inspired by his father's country roots, Thrasher, is set for release on August 21, 2026. For Flowers, the answer is found in the legends that continue to dominate the stage as they become aging rock icons. “Then I think of Mick Jagger and ask myself, 'What keeps him getting up on that stage?' I guess it’s because there are powerful moments in a concert,” he said about the Rolling Stones legend as he reflected on his new album and hitting the road this year with The Killers, adding, “How could I not want to do that?”

The Killers are set to headline the inaugural Ocean Way Festival in Santa Monica, CA, on September 26.

At $21.99 (regularly $27.99), they're a steal—especially for mouth-blown glassware with this level of detail. Most similar styles from boutique brands run $30 or more per glass, making this Target find a serious win for budget-conscious hosts who still want style.

They're also hand wash only, so treat them gently, but honestly, they're too cute to hide in the back of a cabinet. Bring them out for brunches, backyard barbecues, or girls' night in. They'll be the first thing your guests notice.

If you're looking to freshen up your glassware game this summer, don't sleep on these. Seasonal Target items like this tend to sell out fast, and once they're gone, they're gone. So if you spot them in-store or online, grab them while you can.

These glasses aren't just functional; they're conversation starters. Guests will ask where you got them, and you'll love telling them about your Target score. They pair beautifully with fresh fruit garnishes, colorful straws, or even simple linen napkins for a curated tablescape. And because they're versatile enough for both cocktails and everyday beverages, you'll get plenty of use out of them well beyond summer.

Just a few months after their fairytale wedding, Donald Trump Jr. and his new bride, Bettina Trump, headed back to the Bahamas for a family fishing trip.

Bettina recently shared a cute carousel of pics, featuring herself, her hubby, and his children. But that’s not all! Donald Trump’s newest daughter-in-law also posted a snapshot of Don Jr. on her Instagram Stories with the title “Swoon. #HotHusband.” And based on the sweet sentiment, it looks like the couple’s honeymoon phase is far from over.

Even though Bettina is “swooning” over her guy, this wasn’t exactly a romantic couples-only vaycay. Unlike their last trip to the Bahamas, the most recent visit wasn’t all about kisses and cuddles. Instead, it was lobster, lobster, and more lobster. 

Trump (Bettina, that is) captioned her pics, “Crush fest ‘26. Great crew. Great crush and magical memories!! Nothing beats fresh lobster, salty skin, sun kissed cheeks, time with family, and friends who are family.”

She continued, “These are the kind of days you wish you could bottle up forever. Already counting down to the next one.”

Along with showing off their massive catch, Bettina also revealed a few rare family photos with Trump Jr.’s youngest daughter, 12-year-old Chloe, and 13-year-old Spencer. The dad of five’s other children (with ex-wife Vanessa Trump) did not appear to be with the couple on this vacation.

If you’re wondering where in the Bahamas the Trumps and their friends stayed, the post also includes an image of a note from the scenic private island…Little Pipe Cay (in Exuma). The handwritten letter reads, “Welcome home Mr. & Mrs. Trump! So happy to have our favorite newlyweds back. We hope you have yet another special weekend here.”

Of course, the couple famously married over Memorial Day weekend in a surprisingly simple wedding on the island. Instead of a lavish affair in a luxury event space, Don Jr. and Bettina chose a tiny chapel with just enough space to hold their closest family and friends (sans the President and his wife, Melania Trump). 

During her wedding weekend, Bettina wore a handful of classic styles, including a stunning Safiyaa slip dress. But this time around, the new Mrs. Trump Jr. was sporting an entirely different type of attire. Like the rest of her family and friends, she rocked a custom  “Crush Fest Summer of 26” hooded tee.

It's been a perilous summer if you love fast food. And with multiple foodborne illness outbreaks seemingly dominating the news cycle daily, it can feel like some of your favorite restaurants are constantly under the microscope.

Hot on the heels of a separate cyclospora outbreak linked to shredded lettuce, Chipotle is now stepping up as one of the first restaurants to take action amid an ongoing salmonella investigation. With jalapeños identified as a potential source of the illnesses, the chain is making immediate changes to stay ahead of the situation.

In a statement, Chipotle announced that it had temporarily removed jalapeños from some of its restaurants after identifying the ingredient as a potential common source being investigated in the salmonella outbreak. The chain noted that it acted out of an "abundance of caution," swiftly removing the jalapeños and replacing them promptly with product from "different growers."

While Chipotle did not specify where the initial peppers came from, the chain did say that the jalapeños in question were sent across multiple states to several retailers. In addition, the Minnesota Department of Health has confirmed that its investigation is looking into several Mexican-style, quick-service restaurants, with 110 cases tied to the salmonella outbreak reported in the state.

According to the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA), salmonella are a group of bacteria that can cause foodborne illness with symptoms like diarrhea, fever, stomach cramps, vomiting and dehydration. While most people recover within a week, infections can be more severe for young children, older adults and those with weakened immune systems.

While the investigation is still ongoing, Chipotle's cooperation and immediate action certainly help ease concerns surrounding the popular fast-service restaurant. Sure, it may be too soon to know if the outbreak will continue to spread, but it's reassuring to know that the chain values its customers by taking the necessary steps to identify the source. 

That said, having another outbreak to worry about so soon after the recent Taco Bell scare wasn't something we had on our bingo cards heading into the back half of summer. Here's hoping Chipotle has the situation contained and that the bacteria doesn't spread to more of our favorite restaurants. In the meantime, stay tuned for more details.

Rod Stewart, the '70s music legend behind the hit “Maggie May,” delivered disappointing news to fans.

Amid the rock icon’s One Last Time farewell tour, he announced major changes to his Aug. 4 show in Canada at the last minute.

In a post on his Instagram Stories, the 81-year-old singer abruptly postponed the one-night performance at Fallsview Casino Resort in Niagara Falls, Ontario, Canada, due to travel issues.

“Due to a mechanical fault with the aircraft's landing gear, Rod Stewart is regretfully unable to travel to Niagara Falls and must postpone tonight's performance at Fallsview Casino Resort,” the statement reads.

As for the British singer-songwriter, he expressed regret for the inconvenience but announced that the show has been rescheduled for next year.

“Rod is deeply disappointed and apologizes to fans for the inconvenience. He looks forward to returning for the rescheduled performance on Thursday, March 4, 2027, where he promises to make it up to his fans. Purchased tickets will be honoured for the rescheduled date. Existing complimentary reservations will be cancelled,” the statement added.

The show in Niagara Falls was announced as an additional date for Stewart in November 2025 as he continues his global tour, which began in 2024 and has been extended with dates running through 2027.

The run marks the music icon’s final large-scale global arena tour, but he clarified that he has no intention of retiring despite his age.

“This will be the end of large-scale world tours for me, but I have no desire to retire. I love what I do and I do what I love,” he mentioned on his Instagram back in 2024, adding “I’m fit, have a full head of hair and can run 100 meters in 18 seconds at the jolly old age of 79. I’d like to move onto a Great American Songbook, Swing Fever tour the year after next – smaller venues and more intimacy. But then again, I may not.”

Swing Fever was his latest studio album, which was released in 2024 and debuted at No. 1 on the UK Official Albums Chart.

Some of the most influential musicians from Seattle’s legendary ’90s rock and grunge scene are coming together this December for a one-of-a-kind experience that offers fans the chance to jam alongside the artists who created the soundtrack of a generation.

Announced today, via Blabbermouth, Jerry Cantrell of Alice in Chains, Kim Thayil of Soundgarden, and Dave Krusen of Pearl Jam fame are all signed on for Sounds of Seattle: Vol. 2, the latest offering from Rock ‘N’ Roll Fantasy Camp founded by music producer David Fishof.

“Well, right on! The Rock 'N' Roll Fantasy Camp is coming to Seattle this year!” Thayil said. “We’d love to welcome all the campers to head to our town from December 3-6 to play in our rock clubs and jam on our tunes with your best rock riffing! See you there!”

An immersive four-day event, the camp welcomes music fans of all ages to collaborate and play alongside some of the genre's greatest rock icons.​

The way the camp works is that participants are placed into bands, with each group mentored by a top touring musician. These musicians include Adam Kury (Candlebox), Ron "Bumblefoot" Thal (former Guns N’ Roses), Vinny Appice (Black Sabbath), Britt Lightning (Vixen), who also serves as the event’s musical director, and so many more.

The experience culminates in live performances at the historicCentral Saloon, where Nirvana, Alice in Chains, and Soundgarden all performed in their early days. Limited spots for the camp are available; registration can be found at rockcamp.com.

“Rock Camp is where musicians stop dreaming about playing with their heroes and actually do it,” Lightning said. “Watching campers grow in confidence over just four days—and then take the stage at legendary venues—is one of the most rewarding experiences I’ve ever been a part of.”

Founded in 1997, the camp is celebrating 30 years of breaking industry barriers, instilling life-changing confidence, and uniting an unexpected cross-section of society—bringing together tech founders and corporate executives and professional athletes and politicians, all bonded by a shared love of music.

The enduring success of the rock camp has even spawned spin-offs, including a reality television show, a podcast, and the critically acclaimed documentary film, Rock Camp: The Movie.

For fans who grew up with posters of Alice in Chains and Chris Cornell on their walls and wore out their Ten cassette due to constant repetition of “Alive” and “Jeremy,” Sounds of Seattle: Vol. 2 offers the chance to go behind the legendary music and play the tracks that defined the decade alongside the rock stars who created them.
