Vince Neil breaks silence after jet hits parked jet, killing pilot
The heavy metal frontman's Learjet 35 reportedly hit a parked Gulfstream G200 Monday afternoon at Scottsdale Municipal Airport, according to local outlets.

The statement noted that the incident occurred 'for reasons unknown at this time,' pending the 'rapidly evolving situation' and 'ongoing investigation.'
'On board Mr Neil's plane were two pilots and two passengers. Mr. Neil was not on the plane,' said Robinson's statement.
Neil's manager told TMZ that though he was not aboard, his girlfriend, Rain, and her friend Ashley were on board and hospitalized, the former with five broken ribs, Neil's manager told TMZ. One of that plane's pilots was killed.
Early reports of the incident claimed the parked jet's tail number was that of a plane belonging to actor Vince Vaughn, but that has not been independently confirmed. A representative for Vaughn did not immediately respond to the Daily News' request for comment about whether the plane belongs to Vaughn or whether he was on board.

Iconic '80s Rocker's Guitar Expected to Sell at Auction for Over $2 Million
Iconic '80s Rocker's Guitar Expected to Sell at Auction for Over $2 Million originally appeared on Parade. A legendary piece of rock history is hitting the auction block — and it's expected to sell for a jaw-dropping price. A Kramer guitar once owned by Eddie Van Halen, and later played by Mötley Crüe's Mick Mars, will headline Sotheby's Rock & Pop auction on October 24, according to Ultimate Classic Rock. The instrument, modeled after Van Halen's iconic Frankenstein guitar with its red, black, and white design, is estimated to sell for between $2 million and $3 million. Van Halen used the guitar extensively during the band's 1982-1983 Hide Your Sheep Tour, taking it to stages across the world. According to the outlet, the guitar features a personal inscription from the late guitarist to his longtime technician, Rudy Leiren, that reads: "Rude - Its Been a Great Ten Years – Lets Do Another Ten. Eddie Van Halen." RELATED: '80s Rocker Details Ozzy Osbourne's 'Very Beautiful' Private Funeral Service After its years on tour with Van Halen, the guitar landed with Mars, who purchased it from Leiren. Mars went on to use it during the recording of Mötley Crüe's 1989 album Dr. Feelgood. The auction lot includes its original factory case and a letter of authenticity from Mars, in which he wrote: "…Hope you enjoy it as much as I did. Also it's a great piece of history." This isn't the first time a Van Halen guitar has commanded a staggering sum at auction. In 2023, the custom Kramer guitar he played in the 'Hot for Teacher' music video sold for $3.9 million. Sadly, Van Halen died on October 6, 2020 due to complications from throat cancer at 65 years old. His son, Wolf Van Halen broke the news on X at the time with the following statement: 'I can't believe I'm having to write this, but my father, Edward Lodewijk Van Halen, has lost his long and arduous battle with cancer this morning.'

‘Handsome grandpa' Macron makes a splash on holiday in south of France
Emmanuel Macron has been pictured making a splash during his surfing holiday in the south of France. The images, which have been shared widely by the media in France, mark a stark departure from the sobriety of the French president's usual crisp attire and serious demeanour. Instead of his signature dark blue suit, Mr Macron was captured in a wetsuit, riding a hydrofoil board and grinning widely during sunset. 'But what a handsome grandpa,' read the cover of Voici, a weekly celebrity and gossip magazine that posted the photos of Mr Macron on its cover on Thursday. Brigitte Macron, the French first lady, was also captured riding a jetski with one of her grandchildren while following her husband on the hydrofoil. The pictures were taken earlier this month at Fort de Brégançon, the French president's summer residence, a medieval fortress and the official retreat where French leaders have been holidaying since 1968. The fort is located about 100 feet above sea level on a rocky islet near the Mediterranean in the South of France in Bormes-les-Mimosas. TMZ, the celebrity tabloid news site, also commented on the president's athletic physique under the headline 'Flexing political muscles'. It said: 'French Prez Emmanuel Macron looks like he's been hitting the gym ... because he just showed us what he's been packing under his suits – and he's got a six-pack of abs.' It is not the first time Mr Macron has been praised for his athleticism. In 2024, official photos showed the French president with bulging biceps as he boxed a punching bag. Between hydrofoil sessions on the open water and excursions into town for a stage show with French comedian Dany Boon, Mr Macron has also been spending his summer holidays conducting state and international business. On Sunday, the president engaged in high-level talks with Sir Keir Starmer and Friedrich Merz, the German chancellor, in a video conference to discuss the next stage of peace talks in Ukraine. The trio will be part of a delegation of European leaders who will join Volodymyr Zelensky, the Ukrainian leader, in Washington on Monday to meet with Donald Trump. An unnamed source close to the president told Le Figaro: 'It's non-stop. He's making calls from Bregancon and spending his days exchanging messages with his counterparts.' Residents said the French president kept a lower profile than usual in the area. The owner of a bar-restaurant told Le Parisien: 'Sarkozy used to come and get his freshly squeezed orange juice. [Jacques] Chirac and [François] Hollande used to come and see us, but we don't see Macron anymore. I think he is no longer very popular.' Broaden your horizons with award-winning British journalism.
