Iconic Classic Rock Band Joins Forces With Eagles Guitarist For Epic Colorado Concert
80s classic rock legends Styx recently put on an epic light show while playing with Don Felder of The Eagles at their concert in Greenwood Village, Colorado on June 9.
The band, which was formed in Chicago in 1972, stopped off in Greenwood Village on their 2025 North American Tour, where they played at the city's Fiddler's Green Amphitheatre. The tour is called 'The Brotherhood of Rock Tour,' which includes the band, Felder, and guitarist Kevin Cronin, who was part of REO Speedwagon.
Recently, singer-guitarist Tommy Shawopened up about writing the band's 18th studio album, Circling From Above, which drops on July 18.
"You're writing about your experiences in your life and things that you love and enjoy, or things that were hard to go through and that sort of thing,' he explained in an interview with Ultimate Classic Rock published last month. 'So you're just really just writing a book in little sections like that.'
The musician, 71, also explained that their label was a little wary of the album, considering it focuses on an aviary concept. Yep, you read that right: it's about birds. "But he says, 'Oh, we're birders!'" Shaw told UCR of the Styx concept album in a previous interview. "It was kind of risky to say this thing's gonna be about a bird. But there was so much enthusiasm and it's like, you know, sometimes in life things just go your way—and this went our way."
The band's original lineup boasted Dennis DeYoung on vocals and keyboards, James 'JY' Young on guitar and vocals, John Curulewski on guitar and vocals, Chuck Panozzo on bass, and John Panozzo on drums.
The current lineup consists of Young, Shaw, and Panozzo on bass, as well as Lawrence Gowan on vocals and keyboards, Todd Sucherman on drums, and Ricky Phillips on bass and guitar.

Music Legend Issues Heartbreaking Health Update Before Concert
Music Legend Issues Heartbreaking Health Update Before Concert originally appeared on Parade. Legendary singer Tom Jones was forced to postpone his Bremen, Germany concert just hours before he was set to take the stage on Tuesday, July 22. The 85-year-old Welsh icon has been touring across the UK and Europe this summer as part of his Ages & Stages Tour. The Bremen show was meant to be the final performance of his German tour dates. However, Jones took to social media to deliver disappointing news to his fans. "Hello to all the fans in Bremen. Unfortunately, I must postpone my show this evening, as I've contracted an upper respiratory infection that needs treatment and rest,' he wrote. 'I know this is really disappointing and will cause inconvenience to you all, and I'm very sorry about that." The 'It's Not Unusual' hitmaker assured fans that the show would be rescheduled. "But the show will now go ahead on Monday 28th July, so I look forward to seeing you then. All tickets will remain valid for the re-scheduled date." Fans immediately flooded his page with supportive messages for the 'Delilah' singer, who recently celebrated his 85th birthday. "Please take care of yourself. Rest and get through this moment well," one concerned fan wrote, while another added, "Take the time you need!" This isn't the first time Jones has faced health challenges that affected his touring schedule. In 2018, Sir Tom contracted a bacterial infection that forced him to cancel several concerts. Despite these occasional setbacks, the beloved performer remains optimistic about his health and career. Just last year, he spoke confidently about his condition to the Mirror. "Well, thank God my voice is still working. I am 83 years old. I mean I can't believe it, but it is true. When I am singing I am like, 'How the hell is this coming out of me?' Honestly. If the voice was not there I am sure I would be going 'Urgh, I don't want to do so many shows' but I love it as the voice is still working!" The rescheduled Bremen concert will take place on Monday, July 28, with all original tickets remaining valid for the new date.

With minutes left to go in Super Bowl LIX, it was clear the Philadelphia Eagles were going to be crowned Super Bowl LIX Champions. The superstar running back, Saquon Barkley, walked over to his quarterback, Jalen Hurts, and asked if he would "smile now." Although the question made Hurts grin, the veteran quarterback made it clear that he wasn't going to show any emotion until the clock hit zero. Since then, it's been a happy offseason for Hurts, who won his first Super Bowl, and was named the game's MVP. Last week, Hurts was all smiles at the Eagles' ring ceremony in Philadelphia. However, the masses noticed something odd. There wasn't a single picture of Hurts wearing his shiny new piece of jewelry.

David Geffen accused of abusing ex in suit alleging paid sex and superyacht drug parties
David Geffen has been sued by his estranged husband, Donovan Michaels, who says that the billionaire film producer preyed on his vulnerabilities as a young gay Black man from the foster system and trapped him in a manipulative and abusive relationship. Geffen, 82, and Michaels, 32, met in 2016 on a dating site where affluent individuals often seek relations with younger singles in return for some form of compensation, according to the complaint. On the night they met, the media mogul allegedly paid Michaels $10,000 to have sex with him. The pair continued their relationship and married in 2023, minus a prenup, according to the complaint. In May of this year, Geffen filed for divorce. Now Michaels, whose legal name is David Armstrong, is suing Geffen for breach of contract, saying that the billionaire promised to take care of him financially but left him near broke and homeless. The lawsuit compares their relationship to the plot of the movie 'Trading Places,' saying Geffen used Michaels as a trophy to show off to his rich and famous friends. 'It was a sick game,' the complaint states. 'Michaels became a prop in Geffen's theater of virtue, paraded around as evidence of Geffen's supposed altruism, while privately used as a sexual commodity.' Geffen's attorney Patty Glaser pushed back on Michaels' allegations. 'There was no contract — express, written, oral, or implied — that has ever existed,' she said in a statement to The Times. 'We will be vigorously and righteously defending against this false, pathetic lawsuit.' The 33-page complaint is packed with explosive claims about the exploits of the richest man in the entertainment industry. Geffen has an estimated net worth of $8.8 billion, according to Forbes. He amassed his wealth as a music and movie producer, signing major artists including the Eagles and Joni Mitchell and co-founding Dreamworks Pictures, which has produced iconic movies such as 'Saving Private Ryan' and 'Shrek.' Michaels entered the Michigan foster-care system at 18 months old and grew up in various foster and group homes where he regularly experienced physical and emotional abuse, according to the complaint. He moved to Florida at 19 and relied on exotic dancing and X-rated videos to get by financially. The lawsuit claims that Geffen expected Michaels to use drugs such as cocaine and molly alongside Geffen's friends on the billionaire's 450-foot superyacht the Rising Sun. The complaint alleges that Geffen enjoyed physically dominating his sexual partners and causing them pain. This type of sexual behavior triggered Michaels' childhood trauma and caused him digestive issues, headaches and the need to isolate, according to the complaint. The suit further alleges that the billionaire 'critiqued every aspect of Michaels' appearance,' and that the mere existence of an ingrown hair would raise Geffen's ire. The media mogul allegedly told Michaels 'where to go, what to wear, what to read, what to watch, and what to say' and required him to submit to extensive painful cosmetic treatments. In addition, Geffen allegedly prevented Michaels from continuing to pursue his modeling career, saying he needed to be constantly available. Michaels says he began reevaluating his life and relationship after entering addiction treatment earlier this year. He then approached his husband and said he 'wanted a new beginning wherein he could stand shoulder to shoulder with Geffen as an equal free from power dynamics that existed.' According to the complaint, Geffen then cut Michaels off, demanded a divorce and denied Michaels financial support 'commensurate with his lifestyle' and his share of assets acquired during their cohabitation. While the media mogul was attending fellow billionaire Jeff Bezos and Lauren Sanchez's wedding in Italy last month, he ordered Michaels to vacate his New York residence, the complaint alleges. Michaels is seeking compensatory damages and a judicial determination of his rights under an alleged oral agreement made with Geffen. His attorneys argue that this should entitle him to having his living expenses covered for the rest of his life and an equal division of all properties subject to the agreement. 'While Geffen holds himself out to the public as an extraordinarily charitable man whose foundation gives millions and millions of dollars to advocacy and support groups for the homeless and disadvantaged populations,' the complaint states, 'he is simultaneously endeavoring to render Michaels impoverished and homeless.'
