Fans are wearing bald caps to Pitbull shows. Miami rapper thanks his "baldies"
Ladies love him. Everyone wants to be him — bald head and all. Pitbull, the Miami native and club-rap superstar, is embracing a viral trend where fans show up to his concerts wearing bald caps and fake beards to copy his signature look. Why it matters: It's the latest iteration of the concert uniform, as the New York Times describes it, popularized by artists like Taylor Swift, Beyoncé and — historically — the late Florida singer Jimmy Buffett. Catch up quick: The social media-fueled phenomenon started after COVID-19 but has gone "to a whole other level" during Pitbull's current European tour, the rapper — real name: Armando Christian Pérez — told BBC News. The globe-trotting Cuban-American artist, nicknamed Mr. Worldwide, has always been a favorite target for fan imitation: His quotable lyrics ("Dale!"), nostalgic party anthems and trademark look have made his brand eternally durable. The latest: Masses of fans showed up to his London concert on Monday in full Pitbull regalia, turning the crowd into a "sea of nude latex," the Times reported. "To wander among the Pitbulls feels like Halloween night, if Halloween had only one costume option and it was Pitbull," Times reporter Callie Holtermann wrote. "I'm pretty sure every party shop in London is sold out of bald caps," a fan told the newspaper. Pitbull, ever the business man, even started selling a " Mr. 305 kit" with a bald cap and bowtie for $19.99. Outside the O2 Arena, fans told the Times that it was "one big inside joke" or "mob mentality" that motivated them to draw on fake mustaches with liquid eyeliner and cut up stockings to make bald caps. It resembled, per the Times, "one of the planet's largest and most haphazardly assembled drag shows." What they're saying: Pitbull told the BBC it's "an honor" and makes him "very happy" to have fans dress as him for his shows. "To be able to motivate and inspire them, and see that they feel that it's deeper than just music, like they're a part of a movement and have a purpose in what we got going on, that to me is priceless." The bottom line:"So to all the baldies, thank you, I appreciate you — and they're the baldies because we soar high like bald eagles."

Brian Wilson Once Ran into Bob Dylan in the Emergency Room and Sparked a Friendship: 'Nice Guy'
Two years before Brian Wilson's death at age 82, the Beach Boys co-founder shared a story about meeting Bob Dylan The two musicians struck up a conversation in an emergency room "I invited him over to my house for lunch the next day," recalled Wilson in 2023Brian Wilson and Bob Dylan's friendship was sparked in an unlikely place. Two years before Wilson's death at age 82, which his family announced on Wednesday, June 11, the Beach Boys co-founder and singer shared a sweet story about running into Bob Dylan at a hospital and later having a conversation about music over lunch. "Once I was in the Malibu emergency room getting a weigh-in and this guy walked up to me," wrote Wilson in a May 2023 post on Facebook. "He had curly hair and was on the short side. 'Are you Brian Wilson?' he asked. 'Yeah,' I said. 'Hi,' he said. 'I'm Bob Dylan.'" The Pet Sounds artist explained Dylan, 84, was in the hospital with a broken thumb. "We talked a little bit about nothing," he continued. "I was a big fan of his lyrics, of course," said Wilson, citing "Like a Rolling Stone," "Mr. Tambourine Man" and "It's All Over Now, Baby Blue" as some of his favorites. "What a songwriter!" The emergency room run-in then turned into a friendship between the two iconic musicians. "I invited him over to my house for lunch the next day," recalled Wilson. "That was a longer conversation. We just talked and talked about music. We talked about old songs we remembered, songs before rock and roll. We talked about ideas we had. Nice guy." At the time, Wilson shared a photo of himself posing with Dylan — though it's unclear exactly when the photo was taken, or when the interaction went down. More recently, Dylan celebrated Wilson's 80th year around the sun by singing "Happy Birthday" to him in a video. "That ear," the "Blowin' in the Wind" singer once said about him, according to the New York Times. "I mean, Jesus, he's got to will that to the Smithsonian."

"We are heartbroken to announce that our beloved father Brian Wilson has passed away," the statement read. "We are at a loss for words right now. Please respect our privacy at this time as our family is grieving. We realize that we are sharing our grief with the world. Love & Mercy." Read the original article on People
