'90s Alt-Rocker Felled by Medical Emergency Still Needs Your Help Amid Recovery
'90s Alt-Rocker Felled by Medical Emergency Still Needs Your Help Amid Recovery originally appeared on Parade. , the singer-guitarist known for such 1990s alternative rock hits as 'Girlfriend' and 'Sick of Myself,' suffered a debilitating stroke in October 2024 while on tour with Hanson in Canada. In wake of that stroke, Sweet's management team created a GoFundMe account for the musician to help pay for the tremendous costs for his medical care, rehab and to renovate his home so it is physically accessible to the musician, who is now wheelchair bound. 🎬 SIGN UP for Parade's Daily newsletter to get the latest pop culture news & celebrity interviews delivered right to your inbox 🎬 To make matters worse, Sweet's wife, who was trained to take over as his primary caretaker once he moved back into their Omaha, Neb. home, suffered a fall and severely broke her leg, requiring her to have immediate surgery and round-the-clock nursing care along with Matthew. Sweet's manager Russell Carter, took to Facebook on Friday, June 6 to share the news and ask for more support from his fans, although more than $600,000 has been raised to date. 'To begin, Matthew wants all of you to know that he would not be where he is today without your profoundly generous support. A day does not pass without him acknowledging how lucky he is to have caring family, friends, music business associates and fans,' he wrote. Carter added some details about Sweet's current physical condition. 'Matthew is wheelchair bound due to a lack of coordination in his legs (caused by stroke induced ataxia) and he does not have sufficient coordination in his hands to even try to play instruments. He cannot at this time use a walker. He also has coordination issues with his eyes which impairs his sight. While his speaking voice is only slightly impaired, he cannot sing. Doctors still cannot give Matthew a prognosis for the future which means he must soldier on daily with determination and engage in therapy hoping for the best but without knowing what the eventual outcome will be. This is a very hard predicament to endure,' he explained. Carter added that most of the money raised through the initial GoFundMe campaign has been spent and Sweet, 60, still has some remaining hospital bills that need to be paid, so he's asking for fans to donate again, if they can. 'If you can donate again to his fund, he can continue to work hard on his rehab at home and at out patient facilities and he can continue to pay his bills until one day he can hopefully return to being a self sustaining working musician,' he added. 'In the meantime , donations will go strictly to covering his basic recurring monthly expenses. Any continued support is very much appreciated.''90s Alt-Rocker Felled by Medical Emergency Still Needs Your Help Amid Recovery first appeared on Parade on Jun 6, 2025 This story was originally reported by Parade on Jun 6, 2025, where it first appeared.

Megan Thee Stallion Took Over the Runway at Miami Swim Week
"Hearst Magazines and Yahoo may earn commission or revenue on some items through these links." Miami Swim Week has officially come to a close, and with it not only comes the beginning of summer, but also a fresh outlook on the upcoming resort and swim trends to shop, wear, and love this season and next. After Paraiso Miami Swim Week celebrated its 20th anniversary last year, 2025 marked 40 years of the legacy brand Shan, almost 25 years of Miami-favorite Luli Fama, and 10 years of the ultra-upcoming brand Oséree. This year's event also launched the inaugural edition of the Swimwear Icons Hall of Fame (SIHOF), where Megan Thee Stallion accepted the Cultural Icon Award (and later walked down her own runway). 'I have spent over a decade immersed in this space and felt there was a lack of recognition for the people whose creativity, innovation, and influence helped turn swim into a global cultural force,' says Natalija Dedic-Stojanovic, founder of Paraiso Miami Swim Week. '[SIHOF] honors the legacy of the visionaries who have shaped the swimwear industry across fashion, media, beauty, and culture.' With editors, buyers, models, and influencers—and Rick Ross—buzzing about, this year's event was one for the books. Even outside of swimwear, the collections shown in Miami are both a reflection and an indicator of other upcoming fashion trends to watch out for—burgundy summer, anyone? There's no time like the present to shop our favorite trends of the week, so scroll below for your next dose of summer inspiration. Maybe it's a bit obvious that sea themes would be all over the runways at Miami Swim Week, but this year feels different. Shells, starfish, and mermaid motifs have taken over, even outside of swimwear, and yet we still love to see them in our favorite waterside styles, like sparkling seascapes at Oceanus and underwater hues at Luli Fama. An added bonus? Claire Holt (a.k.a. Emma from H2O: Just Add Water) sat front row at the first show of the week.$156.00 at at at at $19.00 at at mytheresa Stripes of all colorways, silhouettes, and sizes have become a marker of summer style in and out of the swim category.

From tankinis and Hawaiian prints (hello, hibiscus) to fun florals and colorful prints, the height of 2000s nostalgia made a comeback this Miami Swim Week at shows like Leslie Amon and Cupshe. Maybe it's the Lilo & Stitch remake, the Carrie Bradshaw style resurgence, or general readiness for tropical weather. Whatever your inspiration, get piña colada-ready with these styles.$125.00 at SAME$36.99 at Cupshe$545.00 at at Burgundy is perhaps an unexpected color trend for swimwear, but not to us.
