Sturgill Simpson to return to Twin Cities in May for Minneapolis show at Armory
MINNEAPOLIS — Less than a year after his highly-praised stop in St. Paul, Sturgill Simpson will return for another Twin Cities show.
Simpson, who went by the alias Johnny Blue Skies for his latest album "Passage Du Desir," announced the "Who the F**k is Johnny Blue Skies?" tour on Friday. He'll play The Armory in Minneapolis on May 6.
Tickets will go on sale for the general public on Feb. 21 at noon through Ticketmaster. There's no opener for the all-ages show, but at Simpson's September show at Roy Wilkins Auditorium, he played for about three hours, tearing through songs across his oeuvre and adding in a few covers. He also played in Moorhead the night before.
The Kentucky-born country singer won a Grammy for this third album, "A Sailor's Guide to Earth," and has been nominated for several more.

Miley Cyrus admits she used to hide thousands of dollars in drugs from accountant
NEW YORK — Miley Cyrus is getting candid about her past drug use, including a time when she says she hid tens of thousands of dollars worth of drug purchases from her accountant. The Grammy-winning 'Flowers' singer, 32, confirmed that 'drugs were the biggest cost' of her recording her 2015 self-funded album, 'Miley Cyrus & Her Dead Petz.' 'To hide those from my accountant, we called them 'vintage clothes,'' she revealed on Friday's episode of The Ringer's 'Every Single Album' podcast. 'So she would get these checks for thousands of dollars worth of vintage clothes.' Eventually, her accountant began to wonder where those clothes actually were. 'Every time she saw me, she'd be like, 'Where's that, like, $15,000 original John Lennon T-shirt that you bought?'' Cyrus recalled. 'I was like, 'Oh, it's upstairs. … We just really want to protect it. It's really delicate.'' Cyrus admitted to buying 'a lot of 'vintage clothes' that year,' saying she's grateful she 'survived' that period of her life. 'I would definitely not encourage anyone else to go this hard, but the fact that I got through it, I'm very glad I got to do it,' she said. The Disney Channel alum has since been vocal about getting sober — first from marijuana in 2017 and then alcohol three years later. She credits sobriety with having 'changed (her) entire life.' Cyrus is currently riding the wave of her May 30 album release, 'Something Beautiful.' This week at the Tribeca Festival, Cyrus debuted the accompanying visual album. __________

Miley Cyrus Sings at ‘Something Beautiful' Premiere After Q&A Disruption
Miley Cyrus's Something Beautiful film premiered at New York's Tribeca Film Festival on June 6, and the Grammy winner shared another unexpected moment with fans. During a Q&A moderated by fashion journalist and New York Times best-selling author Derek Blasberg, Miley was interrupted by fans who were under the impression they were seated for a performance from the 'Easy Lover' hitmaker. One yelled, 'We thought this was a concert! We paid $800!' The discussion, which followed the world premiere of her 'one-of-a-kind pop opera,' continued to be disrupted by the crowd, who kept asking that Miley sing. One person specifically requested her fan favorite from the Hannah Montana: The Movie, 'The Climb.' At one point, she gave in and coyly responded, 'You have to start it.' Tickets to the film's world premiere at the Tribeca Film Festival were originally described as 'an exclusive conversation with Miley Cyrus,' per the fest's website. Some fans in attendance took to social media to defend the interruptions, as several ticket retailers misleadingly listed resale tickets as a '2025 Endless Summer Vacation Tour.' 'This is the link I clicked on to buy. Says concert tour dates not movie dates,' one fan wrote with a screenshot of the retailer's ad. Others chimed in and criticized the audience's behavior, writing, 'She's better than me. I would've thrown my mic.' Another person praised Miley for how she handled the situation, adding, 'Not a Miley fan, but I respect that. Tiny gesture humanized her for me. Could have easily ignored the fan/hecklers, made it awkward for everyone on stage, but turned it into a singalong… probably did more for whatever movie this is than the entire interview that's going on.' All this to say: we truly don't deserve angels like Miley.
