No Joke, The Lights Went Out At The Sydney Opera House During Vivid
After playing 'Picture Window' with only the overhead lights and a prop lantern, the band – who were making their Sydney Opera House debut – were escorted off stage for an unplanned intermission, which lasted 15 minutes. Unfortunately, when the band returned to continue with the show, the lighting issue had not been resolved. 'The whole system is down,' said frontwoman Michelle Zauner to the sold-out audience following 'Men In Bars'. Two songs later, however, the entire lighting system came back online midway through the band's performance of 'Kokomo, IN'. 'That's live music, baby!' Zauner remarked following a rapturous applause from the audience at the song's conclusion.
At the time of writing, neither the Sydney Opera House nor Japanese Breakfast have publicly commented on the technical snafu. The band's performance wrapped up a busy two weeks for the Opera House, which saw Sigur Rós bring their orchestral tour to the Concert Hall with three sold-out shows with the Sydney Symphony Orchestra and the final Australian performances from Anohni & The Johnsons, as well as Beth Gibbons, Miss Kaninna, Surprise Chef and Emily Wurramara.
Vivid Sydney will continue on until next weekend (June 14th) across various other venues in the city. This includes the Oxford Art Factory, where septuagenarian UK rap duo Pete & Bas are set to perform tomorrow night, as well as the City Recital Hall in Angel Place, where Soccer Mommy will perform next Thursday night. The full remaining program can be found at VividSydney.com.

Popular AEW Star Suffers Injury In Bizarre Incident
Based on facts, either observed and verified firsthand by the reporter, or reported and verified from knowledgeable sources. Newsweek AI is in beta. Translations may contain inaccuracies—please refer to the original content. AEW Trios Champion Samoa Joe has revealed that he is dealing with another legitimate injury. While promoting the new season of his Peacock series, Twisted Metal, Joe disclosed that he suffered a fractured ankle during filming. This revelation adds another layer to his current absence from AEW television. It was recently revealed that he is also in the company's concussion protocols following a post-match attack at the All In: Texas pay-per-view. Samoa Joe: "Limping Through It" In a new interview with Mike Johnson of PWInsider, Samoa Joe explained the ironic circumstances of his ankle injury. After a day of performing "crazy driving stunts," he suffered the fracture while doing a simple hop out of a car. "It was just parking, and I had to hop out the back on some really rocky, busted-up asphalt. I turned my ankle and spent the rest of the season taping it up and limping through it," Joe said. His decision to work through the pain is a testament to the toughness that has defined his legendary career. "Spending enough time in the ring as I have, it's no new territory," he added. All Elite Wrestling ALL IN at Wembley Stadium in London on August 27, 2023. All Elite Wrestling ALL IN at Wembley Stadium in London on August 27, 2023. Courtesy of AEW Samoa Joe's Compounded Problem This fractured ankle is now compounded by the concussion he reportedly suffered at the All In pay-per-view on July 12th. After his team, The Opps, successfully defended their Trios Titles, they were ambushed by the Death Riders faction. The angle ended with Joe being stretchered out of the arena. It now appears that the storyline attack also resulted in a legitimate concussion. Joe is currently recovering from both injuries simultaneously. More news: WWE Superstar Announces Retirement Match Samoa Joe has built a multi-decade career on a reputation as one of the most legitimately tough and physical performers in the business. From his iconic, dominant reigns as ROH World Champion and TNA World Champion to his runs as NXT and AEW World Champion, the "Samoan Submission Machine" has always been known for his hard-hitting, realistic style. His willingness to continue filming a physically demanding role like Sweet Tooth while dealing with a fractured ankle is just the latest chapter in his legendary story of grit and determination. Revenge On The Horizon Despite the dual injuries, Joe has made it clear that he will be back in an AEW ring "sooner than later." In the interview, he stated that once he has cleared all "various medical protocols," he will be "back to business." That business is likely revenge on the Death Riders for the attack that put him on the shelf. More WWE News: For more on WWE, head to Newsweek Sports.

Jimmy Kimmel obtained Italian citizenship in case he needs to flee second Trump administration: 'It's so much worse'
Rosie O'Donnell and Ellen DeGeneres previously revealed that they left the U.S. for the U.K. after Donald Trump's reelection. If worse comes to worst, Jimmy Kimmel definitely has options. The late-night host, who has been a vocal detractor of President Donald Trump throughout his first and second term in office, recently shared that if he ever needs out of the country, he already has an exit plan. While joining his ex-girlfriend, Sarah Silverman, on her podcast last week, the comedian discussed the drastic reaction that some have had to Trump's return to the White House. "A lot of people I know are thinking about, where are they going to get citizenship?," Silverman observed. "I did get Italian citizenship," Kimmel replied. "I do have that." Addressing Trump's presidency, he continued, "What's going on is... as bad as you thought it was gonna be, it's so much worse. It's just unbelievable. I feel like it's probably even worse than [Trump] would like it to be." According to the Italian news agency Ansa, Kimmel secured Italian citizenship earlier this year after proving his ancestral lineage (his maternal great-grandparents emigrated to New York from Naples after an 1883 earthquake devastated their hometown, Ischia). Should he actually put that citizenship to use by relocating to Italy, Kimmel would join a growing list of celebs who have opted not to live in the U.S. now that Trump is back in office. Rosie O'Donnell, who famously has an acrimonious relationship with the president, revealed earlier this year that she fled the country for Ireland ahead of Trump's inauguration. "I knew after reading Project 2025 that if Trump got in, it was time for me and my non-binary child to leave the country," she told CNN in April. "It's as bad as they promised and even a little bit worse, and it's been heartbreaking and personally very sad to watch." Trump has since threatened to revoke O'Donnell's citizenship. (According to a Harvard analysis, Trump has no constitutional authority to do so.) In addition to O'Donnell, former daytime host Ellen DeGeneres and wife Portia de Rossi have relocated to the U.K. countryside. "We got here the day before the election and woke up to lots of texts from our friends with crying emojis," DeGeneres revealed in July. "And we're like, 'We're staying here.'" Much like O'Donnell, Kimmel's tendency to question and bash the President have not gone unnoticed. Following news that CBS would be axing The Late Show with Stephen Colbert, Trump boasted that Kimmel would be next on the chopping block. "The word is, and it's a strong word at that, Jimmy Kimmel is NEXT to go in the untalented Late Night Sweepstakes and, shortly thereafter, Fallon will be gone,' Trump wrote on TruthSocial last month. "These are people with absolutely NO TALENT, who were paid Millions of Dollars for, in all cases, destroying what used to be GREAT Television. It's really good to see them go, and I hope I played a major part in it!"Kimmel responded to Trump on Instagram: "I'm hearing you're next. Or maybe it's just another wonderful secret," he wrote, referencing a Wall Street Journal story, published July 17, which claims Trump sent a letter to Jeffrey Epstein in 2003 that was included in a birthday album of well-wishes.

The 9 Best Cowboy-Inspired Perfumes For A Breezy, New Cool Girl Scent
If your summer moodboard is layered with leather boots, double denim, and that iconic Miu Miu cowboy hat, it might be time to embrace a cowboy-inspired perfume. Whether you're still blasting Cowboy Carter or binge-watching Yellowstone like the rest of us, it's almost impossible to find an aesthetic more coveted in 2025 than that of the free-spirited cowboy. Luckily, this breezy world of wild horses, rodeos, and lassos is brimming with atmospheric charm, inspiring a range of woody, leather, and effortlessly magnetic fragrances. 'To me, there's a ruggedness about cowboy fragrances,' says ELLE UK's resident perfume expert and beauty editor Medina Azaldin. 'It's not about specific notes but rather a composition that makes you think of sunsets, soft leather saddles, and hot, dry weather. It's a devil-may-care attitude and a fearless spirit, in a bottle.' Her spritz of choice? 'Saddle by Perfumer H captures the essence of a cowboy perfume, but does it in the most refined, elegant manner. It's soft, worn-in leather that wears buttery smooth on skin thanks to the addition of amber and vanilla.' From smoky woods aromas fit for dust storms and dive bars to soft suede notes for high-fashion outlaws, these are the best cowboy-inspired perfumes to a seamless cool girl scent. This cool-girl-approved brand draws inspiration from some of the world's most iconic nightlife scenes, from Ibiza in the '80s to New York in the '90s. Heathens, Cowboys And The Santa Ana Winds is the ultimate evening scent. Think cowboy perfume notes after dark: palm trees, wild breeze, and a glowing amber base. Fans of D.S. & Durga's original Cowboy Grass will love this limited-edition sibling scent. While the New York brand's original is aromatic and earthy, with notes of Haitian vetiver, white sage, and clary sage, this more feminine iteration leans fresh and floral. Picture peonies, blooming plains, wild grass, and soft musk. Housed in a crystal-like tumbler, this rich, liquor-inspired scent is the ultimate nighttime statement, and a must-try for fans of dramatic gourmand fragrances. Inspired by cognac aging in oak barrels, this evening tipple in perfume form has a nomadic allure that effortless captures the wild, cowboy aesthetic. You'll struggle to find a scent more coveted than Le Labo's most iconic fragrance, Santal 33. Inspired by the wide plains of the American West, this cowboy-worthy perfume has long been it-girl approved, boasting notes of Australian sandalwood, cedar, cardamom, iris, and leather. The best part? It's a true crowd-pleaser, and an effortless blind buy for leather lovers. While the name of this fragrance alone gives it undeniable cowboy appeal, its powdery saddle scent is just as fitting. With notes of leather, violet, and suede, the balanced aroma is perfectly unisex, offering a soft, smoky sillage that suits any occasion. It's also been widely hailed as the ultimate new layering scent by fans. If you came here for an atmospheric cowboy scent that evokes dusty saddles, worn-in boots, and that iconic Stetson hat, this refined yet gentle amber-leather fragrance is your perfume. With a buttery softness, its blend of bright bergamot, orange flower, and jasmine absolute top notes, heart of earthy patchouli and benzoin resin, and a creamy vanilla base creates a bold yet balanced leather which is captivating from the very first spritz. Few A-listers are more in tune with the appeal of cowboy-inspired notes than horse lover and frequent Texas visitor Bella Hadid. 'My partner personally loves Nightcap - both on himself and on me,' the model recently told ELLE UK, following the debut of her signature scent collection at Selfridges. With a sultry aroma of ginger, guaiac wood, vanilla, and sandalwood, if it's good enough for a real-life cowboy, it's good enough for us. Looking for a straight-talking leather perfume? This delicately sweet yet realistic scent has a cosy, woody dry down that wears effortlessly year-round. Also available in candle form (perfect for bringing a cool, rugged edge into your space), this fragrance is a true crowd-pleaser, and effortlessly wearable for both evenings and the office. While cowboy-inspired perfumes are often edgy and raw, they don't have to be. After all, what captures a free spirit better than a Texan golden hour sunset? Picture sweet, green rhubarb, strawberry leaf, and honeydew melon, paired with spicy pink pepper, galbanum, white peonies, and ambrette musk. Yes, this scent is breezier than the aforementioned cowboy fragrances, but its lively floral bouquet doesn't compromise on that spirited, cool-girl energy.
