Joey Molland, Badfinger Guitarist Who Kept the Group’s Flag Flying for Decades After Other Band Members’ Deaths, Dies at 77

Chris Willman Senior Music Writer and Chief Music Critic Joey Molland, guitarist for the group Badfinger, who had continued leading a touring edition of the group decades after other key members had passed on, died Saturday night at age 77. Badfinger was best known for the late ’60s/early ’70s hits “No Matter What You Do,” “Day After Day,” “Come and Get It” and “Baby Blue.” Molland did not sing lead on the original recordings of those classic songs, but ably took on that duty in concerts for decades to come, touring the band’s catalog and his own solo material on up through the summer of 2024, becoming a cult figure among fans of that era’s music for his good will and enthusiasm in keeping the Badfinger flag flying.

After Blowing the National Anthem and Disappearing, Ingrid Andress Makes a Surprise Return… Singing It Again, and Getting It Right This Time

Chris Willman Senior Music Writer and Chief Music Critic If at first you don’t succeed — and if, in fact, at first you misfire badly enough that it starts a national conversation — try, try again. After a healthy seven-month interval, in this case. Since singing what turned out to be a notorious version of the National Anthem at a high-profile ballgame last July, country singer Ingrid Andress has stayed quietly out of sight, offering an apology and then refraining from subsequent statements or appearances.

Adam Lambert on Playing the Emcee in Broadway’s ‘Cabaret,’ and Why Its Anti-Fascist Themes Hit Even Harder Now Than When He Began the Run: ‘It’s Wild, How Relevant It Is’

Chris Willman Senior Music Writer and Chief Music Critic Adam Lambert is currently living out a dream, playing the role of the Emcee in the current Broadway run of “Cabaret,” or, as it’s officially known in this production, “Cabaret at the Kit Kat Club.” That extended titling reflects just how immersive the club-like transformation of the August Wilson Theatre is meant to be, with Lambert as host to an intimate, in-the-round audience in his first leading role on Broadway, every bit as impishly sensual — or should it be sensually impish? — as you’d expect in the iconic part. But there’s also a bit of nightmare to this dream… not in how it’s working out for Lambert, who has scored wide plaudits for his take on the Emcee, but in the nature of the show itself, which is only light-spirited up to a very finite point.

Chris Willman Senior Music Writer and Chief Music Critic It’s been established for years that Phil Collins won’t be returning to the drum kit, as he spent the final Genesis tour several years ago singing from a seated position and letting his son handle percussion duties. But in a new interview with Mojo magazine, Collins makes it clear that he has no inclination to return to a recording studio in any capacity, due to physical limitations that have taken away the desire to create new music. “I keep thinking I should go downstairs to the studio and see what happens.

The “Quiet Celebration Tour” will take place in mid-sized theaters and concert halls and be focused around his most recent album, the acoustically based “Seven Psalms,” although it will include other selections from his vast catalog.

On Sunday night, she finishes up a 15-week run in Broadway’s “Hadestown,” which has left her with a very sunny disposition, even if her role as the goddess Persephone requires her to spend a lot of time well away from sunlight, being fated to spend half of each year in a dim underworld in order for the earth to survive.

The comedian spoke about how the seminal figure in “SNL” music history would have loved many of the acts on the bill if he were still around.
