'There's no way we can perform without him,' wrote guitarists Tosin Abasi and Javier Reyes in their joint statement. 'Rather than leave things up in the air, we're calling it now and putting our full focus into writing the next Animals As Leaders album. New material is already in the works, and we'll have more to share soon.
'We know this news sucks – especially for those of you who've been waiting a long time to see us live. Canceling isn't something we take lightly. Thank you for sticking with us. We'll make it back to your cities with new music and a set that hits even harder.'

Get Ready for Football Season With NFL Retro Bowl 26 on Apple Arcade
The NFL preseason has started, which means football will occupy a lot of TVs for the next few months. To help you get in the mood for football season, Apple is planning to bring NFL Retro Bowl '26 to Apple Arcade on Sept. 4. Apple Arcade is filled with familiar and classic games, alongside exclusive titles, that you can play for $7 per month (£7, AU$10). Many of these games can be found in the App Store, but they may have paywalls and ads that hinder your gaming experience. An Apple Arcade subscription gives you access to games without paywalls and ads, a feature usually denoted by "Plus" in the name. Here are all the games Apple plans to bring to the service on Sept. 4. You can also check out the games Apple added in August, like Worms Across Worlds. NFL Retro Bowl '26 Developer: New Star Games Apple This NFL and NFLPA-licensed game brings authentic team rosters and NFL players to your mobile screen in fun retro visuals, just like last year's Retro Bowl '25. This year's game introduces a new game mode called NFL Retro Bowl Championship Leaderboard. In this mode, you can play as your favorite teams in weekly matchups that align with the 2025 season. Hopefully, my Cincinnati Bengals will return to the Super Bowl this year, but if not, I can at least take them there in this game. Jeopardy! Daily Developer: Frosty Pop Games Apple Jeopardy! Daily is a daily game that brings clues crafted by the show's writers to your screen, where you have to answer in the form of a question. In this trivia game, you can upload your score to the global leaderboards, test your knowledge in unique game modes and more. My Talking Tom Friends Plus Developer: Outfit7 Apple Join Talking Tom, Angela and other virtual pets as they go on adventures into town, play minigames and more. This interactive life-sim brings all the Talking Tom and Friends characters together in one place, so you can take care of the different pets, dress them up in fun costumes and create your own adventures. You can access these games in Apple Arcade on Sept. 4, but there are plenty of other games to play on the service, which costs $7 a month or $50 annually. You can also try Apple Arcade for free for one month with your first sign-up, or you can get a three-month free trial when you buy a new Apple device. To access Apple Arcade, open the App Store on your iOS or iPadOS device and tap the joystick in the menu bar.

LiAngelo Ball reveals why he pivoted from basketball to rap
LiAngelo Ball reveals why he pivoted from basketball to rap originally appeared on The Sporting News LiAngelo Ball is getting candid on why he chose to stick with rapping over his former career in basketball. The "Tweaker" rapper, who just released his debut album, League of My Own, last month, shared on the Bag Fuel podcast that his salary in basketball just wasn't cutting it. "I was in the G League, that's 3K a month as a grown man," he stated. LiAngelo (also known as Gelo) played for the Greensboro Swarm, which is the G League affiliate of the Charlotte Hornets. He also had was also at training camp for the Detroit Pistons, but he was waived before the season began. The rapper last played overseas in Mexico for the Astros de Jalisco. "When I got paid from music, it wasn't a hard decision. I wasn't contemplating like 'D--n I gotta hoop,'" Gelo said. Gelo is the brother of two NBA stars: Lonzo Ball and LaMelo. Lonzo currently plays for the Cleveland Cavaliers after playing for the Los Angeles Lakers, New Orleans Pelicans, and Chicago Bulls. He was traded from the Bulls in exchange for Isaac Okoro in June. As for LaMelo, he has been with the Hornets since he was selected third overall in the 2020 NBA Draft. While Gelo never played in the NBA, he has been successful in his rap career. After his breakout hit "Tweaker," he was offered a record deal with Def Jam for $13 million with $8 million guaranteed. The agreement with the label also gives Gelo full ownership of his music and his own record label, Born2Ball Music Group. Prior to securing a record deal, Gelo shared of his hoop dreams last year on the What An Experience podcast. "I'm still going... I'm not done... I like the Big3. I might just play in the Big3 because it's during the summer. I just like to hoop. That's it. That would be nice to hoop. I might get in the G League... Try to get pulled up the old-fashioned way." For now, fans will most likely be hearing of Gelo through their headphones rather than the court.

MasterChef 2025 winner announced in nail-biting finale: 'So proud of myself'
This year's season of MasterChef Australia came to a dramatic end on Tuesday night with Callum Hann and Laura Sharrad going head-to-head for the title. The two finalists have had remarkably similar journeys on the show, having both finished runner-up on their original season and competed on the first 'Back To Win' in 2020. Armed with very different skill sets, the South Australian restaurateurs had to impress the judges in a two-round cook starting with an ingredient knockout challenge, followed by a pressure test set by pastry chef Michael 'Miko' Llamanzares-Aspiras. Round one saw Callum make a one-bite potato, rosemary, and oyster and receive a total of 38 points, while Laura served a samphire and potato risotto with a smoked pipi broth and also scored 38 points. For round two, they each had 4.5 hours to recreate Miko's Botanical Garden, which was an edible bouquet of flowers consisting of 149 steps. Callum was given 35 points, while Laura earned 48 points.

Ultimately, Laura was crowned the 2025 champion with a total score of 80 points and was awarded $250,000. Callum received $40,000 for finishing second, and Jamie Fleming took home $10,000 for coming third. 'This is like the most surreal feeling in the whole entire world,' she said following the win. 'I'm truly so proud of myself for coming back for a third time, and completely setting myself up for heartbreak, and pulling off what I never thought I really could do, but I've wanted to for so long. 'I've dreamt of this moment since I was 13. To have my family here, to have had Florence up here today, watching me cook, has been the most truly special experience of my life.' Andy Allen's tribute to Jock Zonfrillo Laura went on to thank Callum, adding: 'Just the support that you've shown me throughout this competition both times has been so truly special. So thank you so much for everything.' Andy Allen also said that Jock Zonfrillo, who was Laura's mentor before his passing in 2023, would be incredibly proud of her. 'Laura, in this moment with you finally winning the title, it feels right to mention how proud Jock would be of you,' he remarked. 'And it's so amazing to know that he lives on through your food. So thank you.' View this post on Instagram A post shared by MasterChef Australia (@masterchefau) Little-known fact about prize money While Laura is now a quarter of a million dollars richer following her third stint on the Channel 10 show, the money likely won't hit her account for quite some time. Season nine champion Diana Chan told Yahoo Lifestyle in 2023 that she didn't receive the eye-watering amount of cash until months after filming had wrapped. 'You don't get it instantly,' she shared. 'I don't know if I'm actually meant to mention this, but I didn't get it until like five months later.'

'To be honest, I was making a decent amount of money doing other things that I actually put it aside and invested it,' she recalled. 'I wouldn't say I have it now anymore, this is six years down the track, but you use it on different things to start your career and whatever you want to do. The money's there, and they never say, 'You have to do this with the money'. So it's entirely up to you what you want to do.'
