48. Drake addresses what happened amid, and in the aftermath of, his fallout with Kendrick Lamar on new song “What Did I Miss?” — a track the Toronto rapper dropped unexpectedly at midnight (July 5).</p>
49. <p class="paragraph larva // lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   ">
50. On the surprise single Drake calls out those who turned their backs on him: “You n—-s just better not ask for no favors,” he warns. “It’s love for my brothers and death to a traitor.”</p>
51. <p class="paragraph larva // lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   ">
52. “I don’t give a f– if you love me/ I don’t give a f— if you like me/ Askin’ me ‘How did it feel?’/ Can’t say it didn’t surprise me/ Last time I looked to my right/ You n—-s was standing beside me/ How can some people I love/ Hang around pussies who try me?/ Let’s go,” says Drake, wrapping an introspective chorus with one question on repeat: “What did I miss?”</p>
53. <p class="paragraph larva // lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   ">
54. Later, he references sightings at Kendrick’s 2024 Pop Out show, lamenting, “It feels like nobody’s there until you start givin’ out two-tones/ And nobody cares until they in front of your tombstone/ Y’all been on that type of timing for too long/ Iceman, Tiffany blue stones/ I done made plenty s— right out of two wrongs/ S—, let’s go.”</p>
55. <p class="paragraph larva // lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   ">
56. On a third verse, he raps, “What did I miss?/ When I was looking at y’all and cooking with y’all/ And giving out verses and bookings to y’all/ Making sure wires were hit/ Man, what did I miss?/ When you was all in my crib lookin’ at hoes/ Word for word at all of the shows/ You always felt like this, man?/ What did I miss?”</p>
57. <p class="paragraph larva // lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   ">
58. “What Did I Miss?” was penned by Drake, produced by London Cyr, O Lil Angel, DJ LEWIS, FNZ, Elyas, GYZ, Tay Keith, OZ and Patron, and released via OVO/Republic on streaming services.</p>
59. <p class="paragraph larva // lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   ">
60. Ahead of the song’s premiere, fans caught an unannounced livestream on Friday that had Drake clocking in at an Iceman warehouse, where he went from sipping coffee on break to launching into a solo performance of the new track: first surrounded by rifles on the break room TV screen, and then among ice blocks in the warehouse freezer. The footage also had him driving an Iceman truck around the city and making small talk with fans approaching his vehicle: “Iceman, man, you already know,” Drake said at one point. “C’mon, bro, you already know.”</p>
61. <p class="paragraph larva // lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   ">
62. Drake didn’t upload the event to his channels after streaming, but fans captured and shared the clip across social media, speculating “Iceman” is his new album era.</p>

173. Apple Music has shared its 500 most-streamed songs of the decade, with Ed Sheeran leading the pack thanks to 12-week Billboard Hot 100-topper “Shape of You.”</p>
174. <p class="paragraph larva // lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   ">
175. As announced Saturday (July 5), the British pop star’s 2017 smash has been listened to more than any other song on the platform in the past 10 years, beating out second- and third-place entries “Blinding Lights” by The Weeknd and “God’s Plan” by Drake. “Shape of You” also broke Apple’s record for most first-day streams when it was first released.</p>
176. <p class="paragraph larva // lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   ">
177. The rest of the top 10 was fleshed out by Post Malone and Swae Lee’s “Sunflower,” Posty’s “Rockstar” featuring 21 Savage, Drizzy’s “One Dance” featuring Wizkid and Kyla, Travis Scott’s “Sicko Mode,” Sheeran’s “Perfect,” Chris Brown’s “No Guidance” and Billie Eilish’s “Bad Guy,” in that order. Other tracks that ranked highly were The Chainsmokers and Halsey’s “Closer” at No. 11, Kendrick Lamar’s “Humble” at No. 15, Ariana Grande’s “7 rings” at No. 19 and BTS’ “Dynamite” at No. 34.</p>
178. <p class="paragraph larva // lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   ">
179. With 27, Drake has more songs in the top 500 than any other artist, while Taylor Swift comes in second place with 14. Mariah Carey is the only artist to have a holiday song make it into the upper echelon, with “All I Want for Christmas Is You” coming in at No. 100. </p>
180. <p class="paragraph larva // lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   ">
181. The remaining songs on the 500-count list can be found on a massive playlist unveiled by Apple on Saturday. It comes in celebration of the streamer’s 10-year anniversary.</p>
182. <p class="paragraph larva // lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   ">
183. To keep the festivities going, Apple also shared an interview with Sheeran talking about the creation and impact of “Shape of You.” The track served as the lead single from the musician’s album <em>Divide</em> and won best pop solo performance at the 2018 Grammys.</p>
184. <p class="paragraph larva // lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   ">
185. “No one can take away the song,” Sheeran reflected to Zane Lowe. “I’ll be able to play it forever … I’m just grateful that I have songs like that, that you could be anywhere in the world and someone gives you a guitar and you can make someone happy with it.”</p>

218. Ozzy Osbourne and Black Sabbath played their final concert together with an epic send-off at Birmingham’s Villa Park on Saturday (July 5).</p>
219. <p class="paragraph larva // lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   ">
220. The gig, billed as ‘Back to Beginning,’ was a homage to Ozzy and the metal titans who formed in Birmingham back in 1968. Sharon Osbourne, Ozzy’s wife and long-time manager, organized the concert alongside Live Nation.</p>
221. <p class="paragraph larva // lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   ">
222. Ozzy has faced a number of health issues over the years, and Saturday’s gig acted as a retirement for the legendary performer and his Black Sabbath bandmates. The 76-year old has been diagnosed with advanced Parkinson’s disease that has left him with limited mobility, though he is able to sing and perform live. The concert benefited charitable causes, with profits split between Cure Parkinson’s, Birmingham Children’s Hospital and Acorn Children’s Hospice, a Children’s Hospice supported by Aston Villa.</p>
223. <p class="paragraph larva // lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   ">
224. The full lineup, which kicked off at 1 p.m. BST, featured an all-star cast of performers. Alongside Black Sabbath, the day also saw performances from Metallica, Slayer, Guns N’ Roses, Tool, Pantera, Anthrax and more. </p>
225. <p class="paragraph larva // lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   ">
226. Throughout the day a number of artists performed covers of Sabbath material. British rocker Yungblud performed Sabbath’s “Changes” with an all-star band; Anthrax performed “Electric Funeral” from Black Sabbath’s 1970 album <em>Paranoid</em>, and Guns N’ Roses took on “Sabbath Bloody Sabbath” in their set.</p>
227. <p class="paragraph larva // lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   ">
228. The huge production ran for 11 hours and was hosted by actor Jason Momoa. The event was also streamed live globally on pay-per-view to hundreds of thousands of fans; entry to the stream was priced at £25 ($34).</p>
229. <p class="paragraph larva // lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   ">
230. A number of big names paid tribute to Ozzy and Black Sabbath, praising their influence. Metallica’s James Hetfield said, “Without Sabbath there would be no Metallica. Thank you boys for giving us purpose in life.” Elton John sent a message in to Ozzy: “You are one of the most remarkable singers of our time… You are the king, you are the legend. You’ve been through so much crap in the last few years. I hope this is the best day of your life so far.”</p>
231. <p class="paragraph larva // lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   ">
232. The event concluded with a pair of sets from Ozzy in the final hour. The first included five songs from his lengthy solo career and with members of his touring band; Ozzy was perched on a throne during the performances. </p>
233. <p class="paragraph larva // lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   ">
234. Then Ozzy and fellow original Black Sabbath members Tony Iommi (guitar), Bill Ward (drums) and Geezer Butler (bass) reunited for the closing performance. This was the first time Ward had performed with the band since 2005.</p>
235. <p class="paragraph larva // lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   ">

347. <p>Black Sabbath have played their final ever show together – see footage below.</p>
348. <p>The historic gig, dubbed ‘Back To The Beginning’, took place at Villa Park in their hometown on Saturday night (July 5), and it was the final farewell for the iconic heavy metal band, with founding members Ozzy Osbourne, Tony Iommi, Geezer Butler and Bill Ward playing alongside each other for the first time since 2005.</p>
349. <p>At the end of an epic day of music, Sabbath were welcomed to the stage shortly after 10pm, with air raid sirens and red strobe lights signalling their arrival. Within moments, the opening strains of ‘War Pigs’ filled Villa Park.</p>
350. <p>Sabbath played a streamlined four-song set comprised of songs from their first two albums, including ‘Iron Man’ and ‘N.I.B.’, with the huge crowd throwing up devil horns and shouting every word.</p>
351. <p>As they introduced ‘Paranoid’ to bring the show to an end, Osbourne told the crowd: “It’s the last song ever. Your support has enabled us to live an amazing lifestyle, thank you from the bottom of our hearts”.</p>

375. <h2><strong>Black Sabbath played:</strong></h2>
376. <p><strong>‘War Pigs’<br />‘N.I.B.’<br />‘Iron Man’<br />‘Paranoid’</strong></p>
377. <p>A who’s who of hard rock music history played sets at ‘Back To The Beginning’, including members of The Rolling Stones, Aerosmith, Rage Against The Machine, Red Hot Chili Peppers and Blink-182 joining forces for a Led Zeppelin cover and Yungblud leading another supergroup in a version of ‘Changes’, which they dedicated to the late footballer Diogo Jota.</p>
378. <p>The Prince Of Darkness has not played a full gig since 2018, and has undergone multiple surgeries and experienced numerous health problems, including Parkinson’s disease in recent years.</p>
379. <p>In an interview with <i>The Guardian</i> earlier this year, Osbourne looked ahead to playing the last Black Sabbath show in good health, saying: “I’ll be there, and I’ll do the best I can. All I can do is turn up.” From there, there were also suggestions that he “may be sitting down” on stage, and rumours that he’d be performing from a “throne that flies over the stadium”.</p>
380. <p><iframe loading="lazy" title="NME went to Black Sabbath&#039;s &#039;Back To The Beginning&#039; launch, announcing their final gig in Birmingham" width="880" height="495" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/h_kmfbwp4S4?feature=oembed" frameborder="0" allow="accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share" referrerpolicy="strict-origin-when-cross-origin" allowfullscreen></iframe></p>
381. <p>Before then, he told fans that he was “in heavy training” for the forthcoming farewell concert, and was back in the gym. Osbourne also said he would only be “doing little bits and pieces” with Sabbath at Villa Park amid his health problems: “I am doing what I can, where I feel comfortable.”</p>
382. <p>His wife and manager, Sharon, also said to <i>NME</i> that, although he now “can’t walk” as a result of Parkinson’s, his illness “doesn’t affect his voice”. “He wants to say thank you to everybody,” she explained to us at Villa Park. “He didn’t have that chance because of his illness, but now he does have the chance.”</p>

426. Avril Lavigne headlined the gargantuan main stage on the historic Plains of Abraham in Quebec City on Friday night (July 4) for more than 80,000 fans, which also coincided with the final date of her Greatest Hits Tour with fellow Canadians Simple Plan.</p>

428. The two acts recently released the collaborative track “Young and Dumb,” which reflects on their 2002 heights from the perspective of their current selves. They played the nostalgic tune for the crowd at FEQ, inviting a group of fans up on stage — ranging from young children to diehards who have been following them for over 20 years — and gave them all special signed Avril Lavigne skateboards.</p>
429. <p class="paragraph larva // lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   ">
430. Since it was their final show together, though, Lavigne invited Simple Plan to stay up on stage a little longer. They decided to pay tribute to another of the biggest pop-punk bands of the era, which she said influenced both acts’ careers: blink-182. Together, they played a cover of one of their most enduring hits, “All The Small Things,” while the crowd all sang along.</p>
431.  
432. <p class="paragraph larva // lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   ">
433. Lavigne has been teaming up for covers lately, reuniting with her ex-husband Deryck Whibley for a performance of Sum 41’s “In Too Deep” at a recent Warped Tour performance.</p>
434. <p class="paragraph larva // lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   ">
435. While the mall-set teen angst and big emotions of the early ’00s pop-punk boom felt life-or-death dramatic to teens of the era, Lavigne has started to lean into the campy appeal of the music.</p>
436. <p class="paragraph larva // lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   ">
437. Some fans (many now in their late 30s or early 40s, like Lavigne herself) came decked out in her signature “Complicated” era black eyeliner and necktie combo. Lavigne donned a sequined green guitar for performances of songs like “My Happy Ending.” She raised a toast to teenagers, adults and “adults that still act like teenagers” for “Here’s to Never Growing Up” and led the crowd in sing-alongs of songs like “Sk8er Boi.” She shouted out her hometown of Napanee, Ontario.</p>
438. <p class="paragraph larva // lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   ">
439. She may not be as animated onstage as she once was, but her deep catalogue of hits easily kept the crowd engaged. Occasionally, during songs like “What the Hell,” she took a moment to flex her vocal chops, reminding us that beneath the zeitgeist-defining pop hits, she has always had an incredible voice.</p>
440. <p class="paragraph larva // lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   ">
441. In their earlier set, Simple Plan brought the energy. The band hails from Montreal, and they used the rare opportunity playing for Quebecois fans to do the majority of their stage banter in French. They also invited up rising Quebec singer Claudia Bouvette for their bilingual version of “Jet Lag” (originally a duet with Marie-Mai).</p>
442. <p class="paragraph larva // lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   ">
443. Lead singer Pierre Bouvier donned a shirt that said “I’m Just a Kid” with “Kid” crossed out and replaced with “Adult.” They leaned into the fun aspect of their hook-heavy tunes, even breaking out their <em>What’s New Scooby-Doo? </em>theme song while people in Scooby Doo costumes danced around them. They played some of their own crowd-pleasing covers too, putting their spin on Smash Mouth’s “All Star” and The Killers’ “Mr. Brightside.” At one point, Bouvier switched places with drummer Chuck Comeau as he dove into the audience to crowd-surf.</p>
444. <p class="paragraph larva // lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   ">
445. It felt like 2002 all over again.</p>
446. <p class="paragraph larva // lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   ">

474. <p>The singer-songwriter topped the bill at the London show on Friday night (July 4), his biggest UK headline concert to date. To mark the occasion, he invited some of the other stars of the day’s loaded line-up onto the stage for a series of one-off duets.</p>
475. <p>During the encore, after the first verse and chorus of ‘Northern Attitude’, the lights went down and Capaldi joined him on stage to sing the parts performed by Hozier in the original version, much to the delight of the Hyde Park crowd. Check out fan-captured footage of the performance below.</p>

533. Kesha is a free artist at last — period. </p>
534. <p class="paragraph larva // lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   ">
535. After years of working toward this moment, the singer-songwriter has dropped her first-ever independent LP, <em>. (Period)</em>, featuring 11 fun-fueled pop tracks. Led by singles “Joyride,” “Yippee-Ki-Yay,” “Delusional,” “The One” and “Boy Crazy,” the project marks her first full-length release under her own Kesha Records.</p>
536. <p class="paragraph larva // lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   ">
537. Leading up to the album’s release on Friday (July 4), Kesha has been open about how emotional and empowering the process of assuming control over her own artistry has been. Prior to <em>. (Period)</em>, she was under contract to Kemosabe Records, despite her yearslong legal battle with label owner Dr. Luke, whom she accused of drugging her and raping her at a 2005 party in 2014. The producer has always vehemently denied the allegations, and the two parties reached a settlement in 2023.</p>
538. <p class="paragraph larva // lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   ">
539. In March 2024, Kesha was finally released from her deal with Kemosabe. With her first album since, the artist says she feels like she’s experiencing a “homecoming,” as she told <em>Billboard </em>in a recent interview. </p>
540. <p class="paragraph larva // lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   ">
541. “I really do feel like it’s been a homecoming in a lot of ways — not only legally, to the rights of my voice, but to letting go of that internalized shame, of letting all that go and coming home to my own body, my joy, myself,” Kesha said. “And part of that has been healing my relationship with the records that I’ve put out that were difficult to make — that were perceived in a way that wasn’t the way I intended, that were tied to events that I don’t stand for.”</p>
542. <p class="paragraph larva // lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   ">
543. <em>. (Period) </em>marks Kesha’s sixth studio album, and her first since 2023’s <em>Gag Order</em>. She’s scored four top 10 albums on the Billboard 200 over the course of her career, including No. 1 hits <em>Animal </em>(2010) and <em>Rainbow </em>(2017).</p>

577. <p>Ozzy Osbourne has played an emotional final solo show ahead of Black Sabbath’s farewell concert – see footage below.</p>
578. <p>The historic gig, dubbed ‘Back To The Beginning’, is set to be the final farewell for Osbourne’s iconic heavy metal band. The all-day event is going down at Villa Park in Birmingham today (July 5) and features a who’s who of hard rock music, with Rage Against The Machine’s Tom Morello serving as musical director for the concert.</p>
579. <p>Ahead of Sabbath’s set, Ozzy gave a final solo performance that saw him rise up from beneath the stage on a giant winged throne and launched into ‘I Don’t Know’ and ‘Mr. Crowley’ from his first solo album, 1980’s ‘Blizzard Of Ozz’.</p>
580. <p>“It’s so good to be on this fucking stage, you have no idea,” he told the huge crowd. “Let the madness begin!”</p>
581. <p>He rounded out his set with 1991’s ‘Mama, I’m Coming Home’ and ‘Crazy Train’, the song played before kick-off at every Aston Villa game at Villa Park. Watch footage here:</p>

603. <p><strong>‘I Don’t Know’<br />‘Mr. Crowley’<br />‘Suicide Solution’<br /></strong><strong>‘Mama, I’m Coming Home’<br />‘Crazy Train’</strong></p>
604. <p>Elsewhere at ‘Back To The Beginning’, members of The Rolling Stones, Aerosmith, Rage Against The Machine, Red Hot Chili Peppers and Blink-182 joined forces for a Led Zeppelin cover and Yungblud led another supergroup in a version of ‘Changes’, which they dedicated to the late footballer Diogo Jota.</p>
605. <p>The Prince Of Darkness has not played a full gig since 2018, and has undergone multiple surgeries and experienced numerous health problems, including Parkinson’s disease in recent years.</p>
606. <p>In an interview with <i>The Guardian</i> earlier this year, Osbourne looked ahead to playing the last Black Sabbath show in good health, saying: “I’ll be there, and I’ll do the best I can. All I can do is turn up.” From there, there were also suggestions that he “may be sitting down” on stage, and rumours that he’d be performing from a “throne that flies over the stadium”.</p>

608. <p>Before then, he told fans that he was “in heavy training” for the forthcoming farewell concert, and was back in the gym. Osbourne also said he would only be “doing little bits and pieces” with Sabbath at Villa Park amid his health problems: “I am doing what I can, where I feel comfortable.”</p>
609. <p>His wife and manager, Sharon, also said to <i>NME</i> that, although he now “can’t walk” as a result of Parkinson’s, his illness “doesn’t affect his voice”. “He wants to say thank you to everybody,” she explained to us at Villa Park. “He didn’t have that chance because of his illness, but now he does have the chance.”</p>

655. LL Cool and Jazmine Sullivan canceled their appearances at a Fourth of July festival in Philadelphia in solidarity with the city workers who are on strike in Philly.</p>
656. <p class="paragraph larva // lrv-u-line-height-copy  lrv-a-font-body-l   ">
657. Both the rapper and the Philadelphia-born R&amp;B singer were scheduled to perform at the Wawa Welcome America Festival on Friday, but hours before the performance, LL Cool J announced in a video statement on social media that he would forego the gig in support of the 10,000 city employees — ranging from 911 dispatchers to trash collectors to water department workers, <em>the Associated Press</em> reports — who walked off the job Tuesday in an effort to secure better pay and benefits.</p>
658. <p class="paragraph larva // lrv-u-line-height-copy  lrv-a-font-body-l   ">
659. “I understand there’s a lot going on in Philadelphia right now, and I never, ever, ever wanna disappoint my fans, especially in Philadelphia…but there’s absolutely no way that I can perform, cross a picket line and pick up money when I know that people are out there fighting for a living wage. I’m not doing that,” LL Cool J said.</p>

669. Sullivan wrote on her Instagram Stories, “In this life we are only measured by how we uphold our morals and standards, by what we choose to fight for through participation or protest. Today I choose not to perform at the Wawa Welcome America concert and stand with Philly’s DC33 until the city and union find a way to bring fair living wages to our working class. I love my city and I believe in you. Hopefully we will get to celebrate when things are better.”</p>

678. LL Cool J added that he would still travel to Philadelphia with the hope that an agreement between the workers and the city could be reached, but no deal materialized by Friday. “I’m not gonna cross a picket line and perform for money when people are hurting,” he reiterated.</p>
