Elton John announced that his final U.S. show will be livestreamed on Disney+. The show —scheduled for November 20 at Dodger Stadium in Los Angeles — is part of a deal Elton had with Disney that includes the previously announced documentary Goodbye Yellow Brick Road: The Final Elton John Performances and the Years That Made His Legend, which will feature concert footage from throughout his career, excerpts from his journals, and new footage of the singer and his family.

The livestreamed show will be titled Elton John Live: Farewell From Dodger Stadium; his other two shows at Dodger Stadium set to take place on Thursday November 17 and Saturday 19, will also be filmed (but not streamed.)

Elton launched his Farewell Yellow Brick Road Tour in 2018; he rescheduled his original run of U.S. tour dates set for 2020 due to the COVID-19 pandemic.  The tour will continue through North America before heading to Australia and New Zealand in January, and will then wrap-up with a leg in Ireland, the UK and Europe. Find remaining tickets for North America (here), for Australia and New Zealand (here), and Ireland, the UK and Europe (here).

Lewis Capaldi has shared the video for his new song “Forget Me”, which pays homage to WHAM!’s classic single, “Club Tropicana.” Capaldi set out to duplicate the 1983 video, shot for shot, with director Louis Bhose at the helm (Bhose also directed Capaldi’s video for his single “Grace.”)

Director Bhose said in a press release: “You hear a sad song and you expect a sad video. There’s catharsis in that. But to go in the other direction completely felt more in line with the Lewis that walked onstage at Glastonbury in full Noel Gallagher getup The performance is classic Capaldi: ‘yeah, no bother, just singing this song with a cocktail in my hand. I’m fine, not thinking about my ex, here at Club Tropicana.’”

In the first 24 hours since it was released, ‘Forget Me’ has racked up more than 2 million streams.
Capaldi shared in a statement: “‘Forget Me’ is a song that’s so dear to my heart, and I definitely feel like it’s my best tune yet. It’s about a break-up I went through where after a year, the only real contact I had with my ex was seeing her ‘post-me’ life play out on her Instagram. I was at a point where I was feeling pretty miserable, and she seemed like she was moving on and having the best time, thriving, and I hated it. It seemed unfair to me that she appeared happy while I was hurting, and I was fearful she might have forgotten about me completely, so I wrote a song about it.”

Meghan Trainor has dropped her latest single “Don’t I Make It Look Easy” off her fourth full-length album, “Takin’ It Back”, which is set for release on October 21st. You can pre-order/pre-save the album: HERE.

Trainor had this to say about “Takin’ It Back”:  “When I started recording the album I was learning how to be a working mom. I very literally had my hands full with formula and toys, while also being in the studio writing and recording. I realized from the outside looking in I made this all look easy. Similar to how we only post the good moments on our social media, I thought, ‘Isn’t it silly that moms are supposed to have it all together? My intention with this song is to let everyone out there know that even though they might be feeling overwhelmed, they’re doing a great job.”
