British Rock Singer, 38, Abruptly Stops Concert & Walks Off Stage After Emergency in Crowd
British Rock Singer, 38, Abruptly Stops Concert & Walks Off Stage After Emergency in Crowd originally appeared on Parade.
Concert goers were left confused and a bit shocked at a Mumford & Sons performance in Bend, Oregon on June 5 when lead singer, Marcus Mumford, abruptly stopped singing mid-show, said what sounds like "Sorry, f--k them," and then walked off the stage.
As you'll see in a TikTok video of the incident, he appears to be focused on something happening in the crowd, based on how he's pointing to the audience.
Take a look... he definitely seems incredibly frustrated.
Based on the comments on the video, it sounds like there were people in the crowd who were either passing out from dehydration or getting hurt. Concern for their well-being is seemingly what led to him stopping the show and walking away.
One person explained, "People kept getting hurt! He tried to play this song 3x and ended up walking off stage so they could give medical. Never finished the song."
Someone else said, "About 3 people passed out in a row. In the same song. So he stopped so they could get help."And another noted, "People were way too sloppy. There was a lot of pointing at people who were 'hurt' only to be fine and then like three other occurrences of people falling (probably from being overly intoxicated). Lots of underage drinking as well."
Yet another person made an unfortunate observation, saying, "That venue is cursed, I swear. A combo of them over-serving alcohol and people lining up for the show the night before and not eating/drinking all day so they won't lose their spot in line. BoyGenius 2023 was a rough one."
Whatever was going on, it sure sounds like concern for the people attending his show is what prompted Mumford to bring things to a halt, which definitely speaks volumes about his character.
It can't be easy to try and perform when things are falling apart with fans right before your very eyes.

Cynthia Erivo crowned best actress at BET Awards
British singer and actress Cynthia Erivo was crowned best actress at the Black Entertainment Television (BET) Awards in Los Angeles. Hosted by Kevin Hart, Monday's BET Awards celebrated the work of black people in music, entertainment, film, sports and philanthropy. The London-born star, who rose to worldwide prominence last year for her role in Wicked, was also nominated for the BET Her Award — which recognises empowering songs that focus on women — for her rendition of Defying Gravity. Grammy Award-winning rapper Doechii used her acceptance speech to sharply criticise US President Donald Trump's handling of protests in Los Angeles. The Swamp Princess takes her crown again! Standing ovation please for the #BETAwards Best Female Hip Hop Artist, @officialdoechii 👑 In case you couldn't tell, we're your biggest fan! — #BETAwards (@BETAwards) June 10, 2025 Collecting the award for best female hip-hop artist, she accused the president of 'creating fear and chaos' in his response to demonstrations against Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) raids, which sparked days of protest across the city. 'I do want to address what's happening right now, outside the building,' she said. 'These are ruthless attacks that are creating fear and chaos in our communities. In the name of law and order, Trump is using military forces to stop a protest, and I want you all to consider what kind of government it appears to be, when every time we exercise our democratic right to protest, the military is deployed against us.' Mr Trump announced plans to deploy 2,000 National Guard troops to California to quell the protests, which began on Friday. White House press secretary Karoline Leavitt said the move was 'essential to halting and reversing the invasion of illegal criminals into the United States'. The decision drew sharp criticism from Democratic politicians, including California Governor Gavin Newsom, who called the move 'purposefully inflammatory'. London-based girl-group FLO missed out after picking up nominations for best group and the Bet Her award for their track In My Bag, featuring GloRilla. Fellow UK artists Bashy and Ezra Collective earned nominations for best international artist, while multi-genre artist Odeal and R&B singer kwn were shortlisted for best new international act. Kendrick Lamar, who led the pack with 10 nominations, took home awards for album of the year and best male hip-hop artist. He also won video of the year and video director of the year for his hit Not Like Us, as well as best collaboration for Luther, his track with SZA SZA won best female R&B/pop artist, while Chris Brown took home best male R&B/pop artist. The evening featured a star-studded cast, including actor Jamie Foxx, with performances by Ashanti, Mariah Carey and GloRilla. Foxx, Carey, gospel star Kirk Franklin and Snoop Dogg were honoured with the ultimate icon award for their contributions to community, entertainment, and advocacy. Miles Canton, Luke James and Lucky Daye delivered an R&B tribute to Quincy Jones, who died in November.

Addison Rae's Pop Queen Dreams Are Massive, and Just Out of Reach
Listening to Addison Rae's self-titled debut feels like wearing your gaudiest dress and stepping into the Chateau Marmont on a hot summer day. There are glistening turquoise pools, loads of cigarettes, diamond jewelry, and everything is doused in the golden Los Angeles sun. At the center of the glamour stands Rae in stilettos. She's a self-assured, cheeky girl-next-door shedding her past and stepping into this new chapter with her unique ability to set a distinct vibe. For Rae, it's incredibly important to build this world. After all, unlike most musicians making a debut record, the former TikTok sensation is out to do more than just make a name for herself. Rae's public persona already exists: She's the fifth most-followed person on TikTok, known for her vivacious online personality. But the platform she built back in 2019 as a Louisiana teen who moved to L.A. and became all about content creators, online dance trends, beauty brand deals, and torrid love triangles doesn't apply to her self-titled debut. Instead, Addison is a reintroduction, a portrait of the young woman Rae has grown into, one who is free to take her artistry wherever she pleases. More from Rolling Stone Sabrina Carpenter, Lil Wayne, Addison Rae, and All the Songs You Need to Know This Week Lady Gaga Praises Queer Music Pioneer Carl Bean in Docu Clip: 'Anthems Unify People' Addison Rae's Long-Awaited Debut Album 'Addison' Is Here Rae first took a swing at music back in 2021 with her debut single, 'Obsessed.' After the ultra-packaged dance-pop track was panned by critics, the aspiring singer went back to the drawing board to rethink her craft. Her 2023 EP AR, which included the Charli XCX-assisted '2 Die 4,' showed more potential with alternative-pop leanings and a hazy center. Since then, Rae has been vocal about taking her music seriously and sharpening her instincts. For her debut LP, Rae notably kept the production team small with two female producers, Luka Kloser and Elvira Anderfjärd. On Addison, Rae's eclectic intentions are loud and clear: to create a distinctive, dreamy soundscape that brings her album moodboards to life — and, naturally, make fun music for people to dance to. The album opener, 'New York,' throws listeners into Rae's world with a club-ready nod to her most beloved collaborator and influence, Charli XCX. 'I'm a dance whore,' Rae proclaims before a pulsating Jersey club beat takes over the song. 'Money Is Everything' is just as fun with lively dance-pop energy punctuated by a slower trip-hop twist. The bubbly track celebrates Rae's inspirations: 'DJ play Madonna/Wanna roll one with Lana/Get high with Gaga,' she sings. It's quite a dream blunt rotation to conjure. Lush synths drive Addison as Rae continues to lean into the sparkling sonics of her singles 'Diet Pepsi' and 'Aquamarine.' Those early previews are the strongest examples of the sound Rae has shaped here. The Lana Del Rey-inspired 'Summer Forever' takes the same low-key melody as those singles and makes it moodier, with twinkling production that evokes a glinting afternoon car drive down Sunset Boulevard. Both the R&B-inflected 'Times Like These' and 'In the Rain' push the fantastical feel of the album incrementally further with bass lines that desperately want to boom even louder. The most exciting sonic turn occurs on album highlight 'Fame Is a Gun,' with a supercharged synth that moves in tantalizing directions and evoke Britney Spears' In the Zone and Lady Gaga's The Fame. She's not the second coming of Spears, Gaga, Del Rey, or Madonna. Instead, Rae translates pieces of these icons' music and filters them through the lens of the modern internet age. Lyrically, Rae writes about 'the glamorous life' you'd expect from an L.A.-based 24-year-old. 'Diamonds are my best friend like I'm Norma Jean,' she sings on 'Money Is Everything' before cackling, 'I'm the richest girl in the world.' Honestly, why shouldn't Rae brag about how much money she has? She became a self-made millionaire by the time she was 20. There's a whole lot of California ease as Rae conjures sex and cigarettes, and sometimes both. She's more believable telling us she's 'young, dumb, and cute' with 'nothing to lose' during 'In the Rain' than she is trying to trying to convince us, 'I'm not an easy fuck/But when it comes to shoes I'll be a slut' in 'High Fashion.' The album's most interesting moments are the ones that try to reveal a sliver of the star's more complex innermost thoughts, including some insecurities. On 'Times Like These,' the former TikToker turned pop sensation admits that attention can be overwhelming. 'My life moves faster than me,' she sings before asking: 'Do I eat what I want tonight?/Or will it make me feel less tight.' Rae's ever-present smile really falls away when she wonders if her parents' messy divorce will stop her from finding lasting love; it's a subject she explores in multiple songs, including 'Summer Forever,' 'Headphones On' and 'Times Like These.' There's only a line or two in each track, but these insightful moments are a welcome reprieve from the sparkly hedonism. 'Keeping a smile on my face for protection/Turning my tears into gold,' she sings on 'In the Rain.' Such flashes of vulnerability offer a welcome backdrop to her unshakable optimism. Addison isn't the work of a fully formed pop technician on the level of her heroes. For a dance-pop record, some of the album gets bogged down by a lack of dynamism, with too much of the music feeling circular and repetitive rather than propulsive, almost like you're floating along rather than being driven by a captivating rhythm. At worst, the LP's dream-like quality starts becoming literally sleepy. The 'Lost and Found' and 'Life's No Fun Through Clear Waters' interludes are vibey moments meant to pull us in with thoughtful-seeming lines like 'I lost myself and found myself again,' but these passages feel like gauzy, emotional window dressing rather than being genuinely revealing. It doesn't help that the singer's vocal abilities can sometimes get muddied in production that buries her feathery falsetto. There's a sense at times that she can't quite take the command that she wants. It's clear, even in this new version of herself, Rae hasn't quite nailed the right balance of pop-star decadence and pop-star introspection. Maybe she'll get it right on her next project. For now, as she sings on 'Times Like These,' the foundation is set for her next phase: 'Head out the window/Let's see how far I'll go.'

Savannah Guthrie Wonders ‘What Are Veneers' When Asked Whether She Has a Set of Her Own
Even the most famous journalists can get stumped with a surprise question. While celebrating the launch of 's Joy 101 app in New York City last month, faced an unexpected inquiry from a Parade reporter curious to know if the Today show coanchor has veneers. "What is that, like, braces?" Guthrie, 53, replied. 'I did Invisalign. What are veneers?' Veneers are described as coverings that fit over the front surfaces of your teeth. They can help make one's teeth look bigger, straighter, brighter or remove any space in between teeth. Savannah Guthrie Talks 'Today' Legacy, Motherhood and Hoda Kotb's Exit When the reporter suggested that Guthrie would know if she had them, the NBC journalist agreed and clarified that she didn't have a set of her own. 'OK, I guess no. No, I don't have veneers,' she joked. 'I probably need them. Whatever they are. I gotta go, getting veneers.' These days, Guthrie has other priorities in her life besides those of the dental variety, including bringing the news to millions of Americans via Today and striving to be a good mom to daughter Vale, 10, and son Charley, 8. 'I try really hard to be not just a calm mom, but a joyful mom and a fun mom,' she exclusively told Us Weekly in May at Kotb's launch party. 'But I'm also a real mom, so that means at about 8 on a Sunday night, I'm like, 'Let's go.'' If Guthrie comes close to reaching a breaking point while parenting, she tries to use it as a reminder for her kids that everyone has different emotions at different times. 'They need to see that we're human too,' she explained of moms. 'I don't think that we're supposed to present to them a stoic figure that's not real life. I don't think that's sending them the lesson. I think they need to know that mom and dad, we're human too. We're doing our best, but let's cooperate and get along. I try to strike that balance.' Savannah Guthrie Woke Up Missing a Tooth After a 'Today' Christmas Party One thing that made Guthrie smile recently was having the opportunity to reunite with her friend in the morning. Last month, Kotb, 60, returned to the Today show to hang out with her TV family and give fans an update on her post-morning show life. 'She's our family. This is home for her,' Guthrie gushed to Us. 'It always will be home for her. It was just wonderful to have her there. But it's just exciting for our friends on the plaza to get to see her and everybody wants to know, how are you doing? All the things I've asked her over the last few months. We talk. We've had breakfast. We call. … Our viewers wanted to know that too.'
