‘Time of the Season' Singer, 80, Wows Fans With Ageless Voice: 'Sounds Amazing for His Age'
Colin Blunstone, lead singer of the 1960s rock band The Zombies, is proving that his iconic voice is timeless. The current iteration of the band, known for their 1968 generation-defining hit "Time of the Season," played a Chicago gig recently, and fans were completely awestruck by Blunstone's ageless voice.In video of the Zombies' Chicago show shared to social media, Blunstone dazzles at 80. Performing an acoustic version of the hit—which has been used in movies and television projects ranging from The Simpsons to Friends—Blunstone hits all the notes as he belts out the legendary 1960s song with nothing more than a guitar and piano backing him up.
'Sounds great for his age. Love that band,' wrote one fan, while another added, 'Amazing!'The original Zombies lineup broke up in 1968 in an effort to go out on top. Blunstone went on to enjoy a successful solo career, with original members Blunstone, Hugh Grundy, and Chris White briefly reuniting from 1989–1999. Various iterations of the band have reunited over the years.
The current lineup includes Blunstone (lead vocals) and Rod Argent (keyboards & vocals), alongside Steve Rodford (drums), Tom Toomey (guitar), and Søren Koch (bass). Argent no longer tours due to health issues related to a stroke, but is still considered an official member of the band.
Tuesday's Chicago performance was in celebration of the film Hung Up on a Dream: The Zombies Documentary, a film by director Robert Schwartzman, which can be seen on Apple TV+.
The band was inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in 2019.

Your Weekly Work Horoscope for The Week of July 21, 2025
Your Weekly Work Horoscope for The Week of July 21, 2025. Discover your Weekly Work Horoscope for each zodiac sign here. Aries The most important thing on Monday is to be strong-willed and take action. All week, in fact, you'll be driving for success, and you want to set the tone early. On Tuesday, you're an opportunist almost to a fault. Make sure you're perfectly candid with everyone or your reputation could take a hit on Wednesday. By Thursday, you will have already accomplished some of your goals for the week. You can spend Friday setting your sights on even bigger plans. This weekend, you really should try to get some deep sleep. The less you do on Sunday the better. Taurus Part of you wants to take a financial risk on Monday, but it won't be worth it. This is not going to be a big moneymaking week. Tuesday and Wednesday, invest your energy in your coworkers and business partners. Do your best to see things from their perspective. Thursday is going to be a weird day for a variety of reasons, all of them outside of your control, and Friday is going to be defined by a strange power struggle that's somehow related to Thursday's weirdness. Unload your work worries to your friends over the weekend and you'll feel much better. Gemini Ally yourself with a partner on Monday. You are great working solo on most projects, but this project is bigger than you are. On Tuesday and Wednesday, you might feel a bit confused about what you're doing versus what this other person is doing. Hash out how you two are going to divide up the work. As good as you are, there are still things you can learn from other people. Friday, in particular, will be rich with learning experiences. By week's end, you'll see something from a radically new perspective. Cancer You've tired yourself out doing things for other people. On Monday, you should do something for yourself. Your energy level might be bit low. If there's any way you could take a nap during lunch, that'd be amazing. Tuesday and Wednesday, you might be feeling sluggish, too. And you're not in the mood to deal with extreme personalities at work. (Call in sick? Is that a possibility?) Thursday and Friday, you'll be back to your usual self, although you still may have trouble connecting with co-workers in a meaningful way. It won't be until Saturday that your energy really picks up again. Matter of fact, the weekend could be a blast. Leo The week begins with a bright burst of energy and, more than likely, an escalation of excitement in your love life. You'll come to work tap dancing, and you won't stop until day's end. Tuesday and Wednesday, others might mistake your happiness for arrogance. Listen to them and take an interest in their lives and you'll nip that misconception in the bud. If a bizarre interaction on Thursday turns into a power struggle, be deferential and take the high road. On Friday, you're full of creative solutions to any problem that arises. And this weekend sees you dreaming up brilliant ideas as well. Prepare yourself to take on each month with your personalized Monthly Horoscope! Virgo You'd love to skip the next three stages in your current project, but that's just not going to happen. Not this week. Not with this project. On Monday, you should stick to the plan and get everything done in order. As soon as Tuesday (and certainly by Wednesday), your diligence will pay off. Your amazing competence is not going unnoticed these days, and the more your work is upheld as an example to everyone else, the better work you want to do. On Thursday or Friday, you could propose some business innovations that go over swimmingly. This weekend, buoyed by your successes this week, you're not going to feel like doing much at all. Libra Communicate what you're feeling on Monday. You're brilliant at expressing yourself and everyone is in the mood to listen. You'll get some pretty intelligent responses to what you have to say, but you're still going to feel in a funk on Tuesday and Wednesday. That's how life and, specifically, work goes sometimes. Shake things up on Thursday. Try something new. Look at your job in a different way. Ask an unlikely person for advice. You will feel better almost immediately. Friday, compared to Tuesday or Wednesday, will be a proverbial walk in the park. Parks may figure strongly into your weekend as well. Scorpio Caught up in the moment, you could be on the verge of buying tons of new office furniture on Monday. But can you justify the expense? Isn't the office furniture you already have just fine? Whatever you're itching to buy at the beginning of the week, hold off. By Wednesday, you could have a complete change of heart. In fact, shrewdness and self-control are big themes for you midweek. But there's a chance that your wild impulse to get new furniture will translate to your home life on Thursday or Friday. (Those will be quiet workdays.) This weekend, don't spend a second thinking about work. Focus on romance instead. Sagittarius The week begins on an unexpectedly happy note. Everyone else has got the Monday blues, but you're as bright and weightless as a butterfly. No one has a mind quite like yours, and on Wednesday, you're going to get a chance to demonstrate how useful your creativity can be when it comes to building a business. Later in the week, you'll impress a group of strangers. By the end of the day Friday, you're going to be everyone's new best pal. It will be quite a week, and it will leave you wiped. Capricorn With some discipline, you'll be able to get a lot done on Monday. You still have a lot ahead of you, but, you know, once begun is half done and all that. Tuesday and Wednesday, people are going to notice what a rock star you are these days. As glamorous as it feels, you take this kind of success pretty seriously, and on Thursday and Friday, you'll be consumed by aggressive strategic planning. Money figures strongly at the very end of the workweek. Shrewdly enough, you'll be able to have fun without spending a dime this weekend. Aquarius A new member of the work team could start on Monday. Or maybe it's just a recent hire who's starting to make an impression. You'd do well to get to know more about this person. There's a chance you'll really connect. Midweek, you'll be too busy for friendship building, but things should calm down a bit by Thursday and you'll have time to gaze out the window or chitchat. On Friday, someone is duly impressed by your brilliance, and their flattery will set the tone for an action-packed (though potentially cash-strapped) weekend. Pisces Give your full attention to an authority figure on Monday. As righteous and level-headed as you have been at work lately, you have to respect the big boss's opinion even if it differs from your own. Tuesday or Wednesday, someone with your supervisor's ear is going to put in a good word for you, and on Thursday, someone is going to defer to your expertise, much to your gratification. On Friday, you might have a hard time focusing, but give yourself a break. You've had a tense week, and you deserve a relaxing end to it and a relaxing weekend. Find your cosmic purpose.

How Clemson football's Dabo Swinney mistook LSU's Brian Kelly for a country singer this summer
CLEMSON — Somehow Clemson football coach Dabo Swinney confused his Week 1 coaching opponent with a musician while on vacation this summer. Swinney said July 15 during Clemson's preseason availability that he and his wife, Kathleen, visited Grayton Beach in Florida with one of his brothers and his wife, who informed Dabo and Kathleen that Brian Kelley was having a concert there, and the musician's wife also has a gift shop there. Assuming it was LSU coach Brian Kelly, Dabo said Kathleen purchased an item to support the shop, and Dabo took pictures of the concert stage and imagery and sent them to his first-week opponent. It wasn't until Dabo Swinney's brother's friend told Kathleen it was Brian Kelley, the country singer from the group Florida Georgia Line, that they realized their mistake. "Kath goes, 'Babe, it's Brian Kelley. He's a singer with the Florida Georgia Line,' and I went 'What?' " Dabo Swinney said. "I've been firing all these pictures off to Brian Kelly. He's probably over there saying, 'What is this dude doing?' " Swinney admitted the LSU coach was probably confused about the context of the photos but he had responded to the messages anyway, saying something along the lines of "You can't get away from Brian Kelly." How could he? It is one of the most anticipated matchups this season. Clemson hosts LSU on Aug. 30 (7:30 p.m. ET, ABC) at Memorial Stadium. Both teams have quarterbacks with Heisman Trophy hopes (Clemson's Cade Klubnik, LSU's Garrett Nussmeier) and Hall of Fame-level coaching. Klubnik said last month that he began preparing for the marquee game during the first week of July. Kelly also has emphasized the importance of this matchup, saying at SEC media days on July 14 that Clemson's logo has been plastered on workout bags at LSU's facility this summer for motivation.

"It's on every monitor in the building to go 1-0. I think it was important to have a tangible, specific goal for us to start the season." Kelly, who is 0-3 in Week 1 games in his LSU tenure, said Tiger Stadium is the real "Death Valley," which is what Clemson calls Memorial Stadium. His comments didn't seem to bother Swinney. "It ain't gonna have nothing to do with blocking and tackling and executing it on game day, so it makes it fun, but just go focus on what we gotta do," Swinney said. He said he will share a laugh with Kelly if he sees the video of Swinney talking about the case of mistaken identity. He also has extended an invite to Florida Georgia Line's Brian Kelley to come perform at Clemson. Derrian Carter covers Clemson athletics for The Greenville News and the USA TODAY Network.

Your Weekly Love Horoscope for The Week of July 21, 2025
Your Weekly Love Horoscope for The Week of July 21, 2025. Discover your Weekly Love Horoscope for each zodiac sign here. Aries You're a bit prone to getting upset at the week's outset. Try to welcome the new, which will be much easier starting sometime Tuesday afternoon. Through the middle of the week, your fiery, independent side makes life (and love) very exciting. Singletons are in an explore-and-conquer mode, while those in relationships bring some spice into the equation. On Thursday or Friday, you're preoccupied by work or your reputation, but keep those priorities in order. A happy heart comes first. This weekend, your amorous agenda is moving right along, and that's pleasing indeed. Taurus You're extra passionate and extra sensitive at the beginning of the week, a potentially explosive combo that ensures you won't be bored! Get that intensity out with a long run, a primal scream, or a good cry. From Tuesday through Thursday, love's more of an abstract, philosophical question. Use the distance to solidify some ideals. Toward the end of the week, romantic plans go smoothly, and a certain someone's bringing a fresh perspective to the table that's rather enlightening. This weekend, you could be inspired to take a walk on the wild side. Gemini Doing a little research about a certain someone at the week's outset pays off big time, so ask around, type their name into a search engine, and generally gather intelligence. Things can definitely be taken to another level between Tuesday and Thursday. Why stay on the surface when there's interesting treasure to be unearthed? Ask a deep question to get started. Any kind of business involving others, including business of the romantic kind, could get held up at the end of the week. Don't expect big progress now. But with your changeable heart, anything could happen this weekend. Cancer Remain noncommittal at the beginning of the week. There's plenty of time to make dates and decisions, so don't let them rush you. Around Wednesday, socializing is problematic. You might prefer some one-on-one time with a certain someone or just to be alone. Be proactive and push things in the direction you want them to go. Your awareness of the emotional state of others and ability to balance various demands makes all the difference from Thursday through Saturday. Love can go really well now. Do something that engages your brain with someone who engages your interest on Sunday. Leo Delve into matters of the heart on Monday. There's more here than meets the eye, and you might uncover some sweet stuff. From Tuesday through Thursday, romance is turned up to 11, and it's playing your favorite song. Who'll be your partner at this personal dance party? Lucky them. Around Friday, watch how you're coming across. Modesty and listening are more alluring than bragging and blather (surprise, surprise). Those in relationships should be patient with their partner this weekend, while singletons may meet someone as strong-minded as they are, and that could be hot. Prepare yourself to take on each month with your personalized Monthly Horoscope! Virgo That romantic goal you've got in mind at the week's outset could be a teeny bit unrealistic. Rome wasn't built in a day, nor does love happen overnight. Scale back the expectations. You'll want control around Wednesday, but going with the flow could be surprisingly fun, and it may lead to some surprising places. Dare to let go. Love's extra sweet and full of pleasant possibilities from Thursday through Saturday. Indulge in a heaping helping. And if a certain someone messes up your Sunday routine, you might not even mind. Libra You want it all when it comes to romance at the beginning of the week, and who could blame you? The intensity might throw you for a bit of a loop, but from Tuesday through Thursday, some balance is restored. You're using your heart and mind in tandem to very nice effect. A proposal you make now is well received. Watch for a past romantic issue to resurrect around Friday, allowing you a chance to revise your original response. The weekend brings a couple of very good days for your mental energy, socializing, and matters of the heart. Scorpio Love and respect go hand in hand at the week's outset, with you getting your fair share of both. The confidence you're feeling is magical. Around Wednesday, you'll want to pull back and look at the larger picture, particularly before going out on any romantic limbs. Being shrewd on occasion in the love department never hurts. From Thursday through Saturday, there may not be fireworks, but you're very companionable, and you're communicating clearly and with affection. A possible conflict on Sunday holds a new idea in its hands. Sagittarius Some ups and downs characterize the very start of the week, but it's only natural given the shifting nature of romance. Starting on Tuesday, the shifting takes a more positive direction, with an unexpected delight in store if you're willing to explore. Your sense of humor is totally on fire now, and the right person's laughing. Around Friday, a direct approach is definitely best in the love department. gather your thoughts and get them out there. Singletons have no problem meeting (and impressing) people this weekend, while the coupled up have a fruitful exchange of ideas. Capricorn Friends are your best resource when it comes to making a romantic decision at the week's outset. They'll help with a little detachment and a lot of support. A situation's in flux midweek, and you'll need to adjust your ideas accordingly. At the same time, don't rush into anything. By Thursday, it all begins to clarify, with good results for your heart. Friday's a perfect date night, with whatever you plan turning out even better than expected. On the other hand, things could fall through this weekend, but if you're up for last-minute changes, it's more than salvageable. Aquarius Get yourself into a social setting at the beginning of the week. Nesting may sound good, but the energy you'll get from being around friends (even via video) is even better. You're in an expansive mood from Tuesday through Thursday, telling your best stories and picking up new ideas. Someone's impressed by your generous spirit. Keep yourself in check around Friday. You'll only figure out what's going on by close observation, not interfering. You couldn't really ask for more from the stars when it comes to romance this weekend. How will you use the gorgeous power? Pisces Be wise about a romantic issue at the beginning of the week. Eyes wide open is the way to proceed now, even while you're going through some emotions. Around Wednesday, the stars send some extra awareness your way, as well as some stellar instincts about how to proceed and a little luck. On Thursday and Friday, good energy comes easily and perhaps from some unexpected quarters. Helping someone else out in the love department keeps the cycle going. Your head may be swimming this weekend, but your heart's in the right place. Give yourself a break. Find your cosmic purpose. Receive personalized astrological guidance with Astrology+.
