"Famed jazz musician Chuck Mangione is dead ... TMZ has confirmed. The flugelhorn and trumpet player died this week at his home in Rochester, New York ... according to his manager. We're told Chuck died from natural causes."
A report from Evan Bourtis of WHEC NBC also mentioned Mangione died Tuesday in his sleep in Rochester.
Mangione released more than 30 albums during his music career, but his biggest hit song was "Feels So Good." He earned 14 Grammy nominations during his legendary music career while winning two Grammys.
His career began with the band called the "Jazz Brothers" as Chuck played alongside his brother, Gap, who played the piano.
Mangione also made an appearance on the sitcom "King of the Hill", and one clip surfaced after the death of the musician.
Perhaps his biggest moment was at the 1980 Winter Olympics at Lake Placid when he performed 'Give It All You Got' at the closing ceremonies.

Is Katy Perry Dating Justin Trudeau?
Today in news that no one could have possibly predicted, it looks like Katy Perry and Justin Trudeau are kinda/maybe/sorta dating? Or at the very least they were spotted having dinner—during what looks to be a cozy night out. TMZ broke the news (and has pics!) of Katy and the former Canadian Prime Minister eating at what they refer to as "a swanky restaurant in Montreal," where eyewitnesses report that they "sipped cocktails and shared several dishes ... including one with lobster." For what it's worth, Katy is currently in Canada on tour—so maybe they're just catching up? Or maybe this is a date, who can say! Either way, a couple things to note: 1. Justin split from his wife Sophie in 2023, after 18 years of marriage. 2. Katy and Orlando Bloom called it quits earlier this year, with their rep confirming the news to Us Weekly by saying "Orlando and Katy have been shifting their relationship over the past many months to focus on coparenting. They will continue to be seen together as a family, as their shared priority is — and always will be — raising their daughter with love, stability and mutual respect." Meanwhile, a source told People that "Katy and Orlando have been suffering through the same problems that have plagued them for years. [They had] too much going on in their lives, which makes it hard to find time for each other and iron out disagreements. When they don't communicate properly, their relationship dips to a low level." This insider added that they'd "been living on an island of stress" and that "sometimes love isn't enough to keep two people with different styles and outlooks on how things are done [together]. It can overshadow the love."

Luigi Mangione Musical Could Be Heading to New York
Based on facts, either observed and verified firsthand by the reporter, or reported and verified from knowledgeable sources. Newsweek AI is in beta. Translations may contain inaccuracies—please refer to the original content. Luigi: The Musical, the fringe production about the alleged killer Luigi Mangione, is fresh off a series of sold-out shows in San Francisco. Now, the show's creators are reportedly eyeing up shows at the Edinburgh Fringe Festival in August as well as possible future productions in Los Angeles and New York, where the killing of UnitedHealthcare CEO Brian Thompson took place in December. Newsweek has reached out to Luigi: The Musical via email for comment. Why It Matters Mangione, 27, is accused of shooting Thompson outside of a hotel in Manhattan in December 2024. He is charged with 11 counts, including first-degree murder "in furtherance of an act of terrorism," two counts of second-degree murder, two counts of stalking and a firearms offense. Federal prosecutors have announced their intent to seek the death penalty in Mangione's case. He has pleaded not guilty to state and federal murder charges as well as terrorism charges. Mangione has become the subject of intense public fascination online, with social media users treating the 27-year-old as everything from a sex symbol to a folk hero. The case reignited a discourse about American health care, and Mangione has received a significant amount of support. Protesters holding photos of Luigi Mangione chant and blow whistles as New York City Mayor Eric Adams speaks during a press conference at City Hall on June 26, 2025. Protesters holding photos of Luigi Mangione chant and blow whistles as New York City Mayor Eric Adams speaks during a press conference at City Hall on June 26, 2025. Michael M. Santiago/Getty Images What To Know Luigi: The Musical is a surreal prison satire that follows in the footsteps of musicals like Chicago and Sweeney Todd. The musical was created by songwriter Arielle Johnson and director Nova Bradford and features original music from Johnson and Bradford, performed by pianist Dani Macri, who also serves as associate musical director. The synopsis for the musical reads, "Our characters reflect three institutions of modern disillusionment: healthcare, tech, and Hollywood. Each represents a pillar of American life where public trust has eroded and where people increasingly feel betrayed, exploited, or abandoned." Mangione's two real-life inmates at the Metropolitan Detention Center (MDC), Sean Diddy Combs and Sam Bankman-Fried, both appear as characters in the musical. Fried is the embattled co-founder of the now-defunct cryptocurrency exchange FTX, who is serving a 25-year prison sentence. Combs was found guilty in his sex trafficking child of transportation to engage in prostitution in his sex trafficking trial, but not guilty of racketeering and sex trafficking. He remains detained at the Metropolitan Detention Center, Brooklyn. The show stars Jonny Stein as Luigi, André Margatini as SBF, Janée Lucas as Diddy, and Calab Zeingue as Guard (Sgt. Delarosa). Bradford told The Hollywood Reporter, "There is this interesting thing that these three men represent three pillars of society that people have lost a lot of trust in recent years, including health care, Hollywood and the whole tech/VC/finance ecosystem." The Hollywood Reporter reported that the creators are looking at the 2025 Edinburgh Fringe Festival, New York and Los Angeles for future possible productions. It's not clear where the Mangione musical would be staged if it were to go to New York for a future production, but if it were to be held in the Theatre District, that would mean it would be mere blocks away from where Thompson was killed. The musical was met with criticism and controversy when it was announced. It is described as a "comedy," in a synopsis on its website, which also notes that the show "doesn't glorify violence." The show was first set for a handful of shows at a 49-seat San Francisco theatre, but after selling out that run, production moved to The Independent, a 350-person theatre. What People Are Saying A statement on the Luigi: The Musical website: "Luigi: the Musical doesn't glorify violence, it interrogates it. Beneath the absurdity and punchlines lies a serious critique of how violence is packaged, sold, and consumed in American media. The show takes aim at a culture where brutality is both entertainment and spectacle, inviting audiences to laugh while also asking why we're so quick to tune in when someone gets hurt. "But it goes further, examining how violence is not just the act of individuals, but of elite institutions—like healthcare, Hollywood, and tech—through their neglect, indifference, and lack of accountability. Through sharp satire and irreverent humor, Luigi: the Musical uses comedy as a tool to expose just how normalized, and profitable, violence has become, challenging viewers to reckon with their own responses along the way." What Happens Next Further dates of the play and where it may be staged remain to be seen.

Tyler, The Creator Hits No. 1 For The First Time With His Surprise New Album
Tyler, The Creator's new album Don't Tap the Glass debuts at No. 1 on multiple charts in the United ... More Kingdom, bringing the hip-hop superstar to the top spot for the first time. HOLLYWOOD, CALIFORNIA - FEBRUARY 01: Tyler, the Creator attends the U.S. Premiere of "Jackass Forever" at TCL Chinese Theatre on February 01, 2022 in Hollywood, California. (Photo by Axelle/Bauer-Griffin/FilmMagic) Tyler, The Creator shocked fans recently with the surprise release of his brand new album Don't Tap the Glass. The set arrived in the middle of a tracking week, which meant it had only a few days to accumulate sales and streams before reaching charts everywhere. That compressed timeline didn't seem to hinder its success, as the collection manages to open in lofty positions on rankings around the globe, and it accomplishes an impressive showing in the United Kingdom. Tyler, The Creator Scores Multiple No. 1s Don't Tap the Glass starts at No. 1 on multiple tallies in the U.K. As the full-length debuts, it earns Tyler his first leader on three of those rosters. The set opens atop the Official Albums Sales, Official Physical Albums, and Official Vinyl Albums charts. While the Grammy winner has previously reached the top 10 with several releases on each of those rosters, this week marks the first time one of his efforts has conquered the trio of lists. Don't Tap the Glass Rules the Hip-Hop and R&B Chart Tyler's latest studio effort dominates the Official Hip-Hop and R&B Albums chart as it arrives. This week isn't the first time he has led that genre-specific ranking, though. Igor earned him his first No. 1 back in 2019. He doubled that total in late 2024 with A Chromakopia. Several other Tyler releases like Goblin, Wolf, Cherry Bomb, and Call Me If You Get Lost narrowly missed the throne by just one space each, while Flower Boy peaked at No. 3. Tyler Comes Close to No. 1 on the U.K. Albums Chart On the main Official Albums chart, which tracks the biggest full-lengths and EPs in the U.K. using a general consumption methodology, Don't Tap the Glass opens at No. 2. It starts at No. 8 on the Official Albums Streaming tally, and misses the top 10 entirely on the Official Albums Downloads roster, where it debuts at No. 24. Physical format sales appear to be the driving force behind the album's rapid success, as digital purchases played a less significant role in its arrival.
