Jon Bon Jovi and ex-bandmate Richie Sambora is still boiling.

man who appeared naked as a 4-month-old on the cover of Nirvana’s 1991 album “Nevermind.”Spencer Elden’s lawsuit against the grunge rock group alleges that he has suffered “permanent harm” as the band and others profited from the image of him underwater in a swimming pool, appearing to grab for a dollar bill on a fish hook.The suit says the image violated federal laws on child sexual abuse material, although no criminal charges were ever sought.A federal judge in California threw out the lawsuit last year but allowed Elden to file a revised version, which the judge later dismissed on grounds that it was outside the 10-year statute of limitations of one of the laws used as a cause of action.Thursday’s decision by a three-judge panel of the Ninth US Circuit Court of Appeals in California reversed that ruling and sent the case back to the lower court.The appellate panel found that each republication of an image “may constitute a new personal injury” with a new deadline and cited the image’s appearance on a 30th-anniversary reissue of “Nevermind” in 2021.“The question whether the ‘Nevermind’ album cover meets the definition of child pornography is not at issue in this appeal,” the court wrote, according to the New York Times.In an email to The Associated Press, Nirvana attorney Bert Deixler called the ruling a “procedural setback.”“We will defend this meritless case with vigor and expect to prevail,” he wrote.The Associated Press does not typically name people who say they have been victims of sexual abuse unless they come forward publicly, as Elden has.

bombshell report from Rolling Stone, Wieldlin, 65, claims that Bingenheimer cornered her in the back room of his Los Angeles club English Disco, and rubbed his crotch against hers until he ejaculated.“I remember [the room] being very dark and cold,” Wiedlin explained Rolling Stone. “I was a virgin. I didn’t have much experience with boys; boys tended to ignore me….

the iconic New York rock club that started a music moment five decades ago.In fact, the all-female act made themselves so at home at the East Village institution that they once played in their pajamas at a benefit gig — with a loaded lineup including Patti Smith, Elvis Costello and CBGB house band Mink DeVille — after club owner Hilly Kristal kept pushing their set time back.“We used to use the Ramones’ loft around the corner [at 6 East 2nd St., now known as Joey Ramone Place] as our dressing room because it was horrible at CBGB,” Ross told The Post.“So we went over to the Ramones loft, and we changed into our pajamas. And we wore these pink flannel pajamas and cowboy boots back over to CBGB’s, and we brought pillows.

the Jonas Brothers hit the ultimate home run when they opened their 2023 North American trek, simply called The Tour, with two sold-out shows at Yankee Stadium in August.But for another local sibling act that has been opening for the JoBros — Lawrence, fronted by Clyde Lawrence and his younger sister Gracie — there were mixed emotions about making their stadium debut at the home of the Bronx Bombers.“It was definitely pretty crazy to play a New York staple like that,” Gracie told The Post. “On the other hand, we are diehard Mets fan, so it felt borderline wrong.”Still, the Manhattan natives were able to put aside their Big Apple baseball allegiances — at least for two nights — to set the stage for the “Sucker” trio.“I mean, not only is it such a famous venue and such a big deal as New Yorkers, but with it also being the first shows of the tour and by far the biggest crowds we’d ever played to … it felt like the first day of school times a million or something,” said Clyde.Following two nights at Prudential Center in Newark, NJ, Clyde, Gracie and the rest of their soul-pop octet — which just released the new single “23” — will be rounding back to home base for the final US date on the Jonas Brothers tour Saturday at Brooklyn’s Barclays Center.“It’s gonna be awesome,” said Clyde.

The nearly unrecognizable musician, 57, recalled the night the group decided on the name during a recent episode of drummer Kenny Aronoff’s podcast, the Kenny Aronoff Sessions.“I still hate the name of our band now,” Rzeznik said during the interview, which was released on Thursday. “I wish we would’ve had 10 more minutes to find a cooler name.”Rzeznik and his band members — Robby Takac, Mike Malinin and George Tutuska — initially chose it as “a joke” because they “had a gig” and “had no name” to be introduced as.“And then it kind of, like, caught on,” he said.“We made a record and we sold like 400 copies.

Kenneth Womack told The Post. “Please Please Me was about to be their first No. 1 single [in the UK].

The 1975 is no less relevant in 2023 than they were in 2013 and the band’s performance at Madison Square Garden was a testament to their continued musical gifts. Fans poured in with cult-like rage for a Tuesday night, some bearing rectangular tattoos of the band’s album cover, others still half-dressed in work clothes, taking no chance of missing the man who teased a “indefinite hiatus” after they wrap their ‘Still… At Their Very Best’ tour.The crowd – a hodgepodge of teenage girls, married couples, and some likely single wannabe-groupies – was certainly buzzing. Healy’s closest followers live for his controversies.

O.A.R. curates the always star-studded Oceans Calling Festival in their home state of Maryland.However, that’s not all they do.The legendary jam band often conducts headlining summer tours and 2024 will be no different.From July through September plus four November gigs in Florida, Marc Roberge and co.

was captured on video, and the clip has gone viral on TikTok and Instagram. After his fall, Merrygold, 35, appeared unscathed and popped back up, and the boy band resumed performing as if nothing had happened.One fan commented on TikTok, “The way he just got up and continued absolute pro, I’d [have] been sitting there thinking what just happened [could] have been so much worse.”Still, many observers were freaked out by the risky mistake and were worried the singer wasn’t OK.Merrygold and his wife, Sarah Louise, tried to ease concerns with an Instagram post saying the singer was healthy.“A little sore but he’s made of strong stuff,” she wrote alongside a picture of the couple hugging.

transformed from dreamboat to daredevil when he scaled the Empire State Building.Well, at least 18 floors of it.The Oscar-winning actor’s career reached new heights at the New York landmark as he pulled off the awe-inspiring stunt to announce his band Thirty Seconds to Mars’ upcoming “Seasons” world tour.Their fearless frontman said of his Empire State stunt, “The building is a testament of all the things that can be done in the world if we put our minds to it, which is largely the inspiration behind our most recent album, ‘It’s the End of the World but It’s a Beautiful Day.’ ”Leto — who is the first person to ever legally climb to the top of the Empire State Building, according to building officials — scaled from floors 86 to 104 on the east side of the landmark. His 20-minute hike took the “Dallas Buyers Club” actor some 1,300 feet up in the sky.After a performance at the top of the Empire State Building, Leto spoke about his bucket-list adventure on the “Today” show.“I was more excited than nervous, to tell you the truth,” he said.

amid his battle with peptic ulcer disease.“We’re gonna come back stronger than ever in March,” Zandt, 72, told People. “It was a very, very intense first six months of the tour — maybe our most intense ever.” “And so we’re gonna come back with that same intensity, and it’s gonna be great,” Zandt added. According to the guitarist, the band’s enduring popularity onstage has been “wonderful.”“Well, it’s wonderful, isn’t it,” Zandt gushed to the outlet.

“Now and Then”arrives like a gift from that glorious Abbey Road in the sky on Thursday — despite the fact that John Lennon and George Harrison died in 1980 and 2001, respectively, leaving surviving Beatles Paul McCartney and Ringo Starr to finish the long-buried track on the right side of the dirt.And if you think that it’s the result of some magical mystery trickery of AI defiling the sacred ground that is the Beatles back catalog, thankfully, you’d be wrong.While “the last Beatles song” certainly benefits from advancements in technology that allowed it to finally be released — five decades after Lennon wrote and recorded the demo at his Dakota residence on New York’s Central Park West in the ’70s — “Now and Then” is a real Beatles tune that feels like it somehow got stuck in some mop-topped time warp before the “Imagine” singer was murdered in 1980. It’s a nostalgic trip back to the Baby Boomer glory days of yesteryear.

“Yesterday” all over again.That’s because there will be a brand new Beatles song — yes, you read that right — coming here, there and everywhere in just one week. On Thursday, it was announced that “Now and Then” — featuring all four members of the Fab Four — will be released on Nov.

“The White Album.”“John and Yoko had got together and that was bound to have an effect on the dynamics of the group,” McCartney explained on the podcast “McCartney: A Life in Lyrics.” “Things like Yoko being literally in the middle of the recording session [were] something you had to deal with.”“The idea was that if John wanted this to happen, then it should happen. There’s no reason why not,” continued the “Yellow Submarine” performer. “Anything that disturbs us, is disturbing.”The British vocalist/songwriter would not let the subject be, adding that other members of the iconic group found the “disturbance” annoying.
