Sly Stone, frontman of funk band Sly and The Family Stone, dies aged 82
Sly Stone, the musician whose band Sly and the Family Stone transformed pop music with such hits as Everyday People, Stand! and Family Affair, has died aged 82. Stone, born Sylvester Stewart, had been in poor health in recent years. His publicist Carleen Donovan said on Monday local time that Stone died surrounded by family after contending with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease and other ailments. Formed in the 1960s, Sly and the Family Stone was the first major group to include black and white men and women, with music that was a melting pot of jazz, psychedelic rock, doo-wop, soul and funk. From early songs such as I Want To Take You Higher, Stand! — to later hits Family Affair and Runnin' Away, Sly and the Family Stone spoke for a generation whether or not it liked what they had to say. Stone's group began as a Bay Area sextet featuring Sly on keyboards, Larry Graham on bass; Sly's brother, Freddie, on guitar; sister Rose on vocals; Cynthia Robinson and Jerry Martini horns and Greg Errico on drums. They debuted with the album A Whole New Thing and earned the title with their breakthrough single, Dance to the Music. The group released five top 10 singles, three of them hitting number one, and 3 million-selling albums: Stand!, There's a Riot Goin' On and Greatest Hits. The Jackson Five's breakthrough hit, I Want You Back was inspired in part by Sly, while fellow jazz artist Herbie Hancock even named a song after him. In 2025, Questlove released the documentary Sly Lives! (aka The Burden of Black Genius). "He had a way of talking, moving from playful to earnest at will," Questlove wrote in the foreword to Stone's memoir. "He had a look, belts, and hats and jewellery." Countless rap and hip-hop artists have sampled Stone's riffs, from the Beastie Boys to Dr Dre and Snoop Dogg. A 2005 tribute record included Maroon 5, John Legend and the Roots. AP

US judge dismisses Justin Baldoni's defamation lawsuit against Blake Lively
A US judge has dismissed actor Justin Baldoni's $US400 million ($613 million) defamation lawsuit against actress Blake Lively, who had accused Mr Baldoni of sexually harassing her while filming the 2024 movie It Ends With Us. Mr Baldoni had accused Ms Lively, her husband Ryan Reynolds, their publicist, the New York Times and others of orchestrating a smear campaign to extort him. He accused Ms Lively of trying to "hijack" the movie, whose themes included domestic violence, and then blame him when her "disastrous" promotional approach prompted an online backlash against her. US District Court Judge Lewis Liman ruled that Mr Baldoni can't sue Ms Lively for defamation over claims she made in her lawsuit, because allegations made in a lawsuit are exempt from libel claims. Judge Liman also ruled that Mr Baldoni's claims that Ms Lively stole creative control of the film didn't count as extortion under California law. Mr Baldoni's legal team can revise the lawsuit if they want to pursue different claims related to whether Lively breached a contract, the judge said. Emails seeking comment were sent to attorneys for Mr Baldoni and Ms Lively. The film adaptation of Colleen Hoover's bestselling 2016 novel was released in August, exceeding box office expectations with a $US50 million debut. However, the movie's release was shrouded by speculation over discord between Ms Lively and Mr Baldoni. Reuters/AP
