Bruce Springsteen Jams With John Fogerty, Tom Morello, Smokey Robinson at American Music Honors
Every honoree with the exception of Joe Ely was on site to receive the award, as well as perform their classic songs with help from Little Steven and the Disciples of Soul, Bruce Springsteen, and surprise guests Jackson Browne, Nils Lofgren, Nora Guthrie, and Darlene Love. In other words, an all-star event on par with the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame induction ceremony was staged in front a mere 714 people on a college campus, and there's no plans to air it on television. Fortunately, phones were allowed, and there's lots of fan footage. (Let's give a special shoutout to Dr. Marty Jablow for his great camera work.)

Former NBC News anchor Brian Williams was the host for the evening, and Springsteen personally delivered the induction speeches for Ely and Fogerty. In a revival of some of the best moments from the 2004 Vote For Change tour, Springsteen performed the Creedence classics 'Bad Moon Rising,' 'Proud Mary,' and 'Fortunate Son' with Fogerty.
Springsteen also covered Joe Ely's 1995 song 'All Just to Get to You,' and teamed up with Smokey Robinson for 'Going to a Go-Go,' Jackson Browne for 'Take It Easy,' and Tom Morello for 'The Ghost of Tom Joad' and 'Tenth Avenue Freeze-Out.'
At the end of the night, everyone from the show came back onstage along with Darlene Love and Nora Guthrie for 'This Land Is Your Land.' The Woody Guthrie classic was a regular part of Springsteen's live show in the Eighties, but it's become a rarity these days. He last performed it in 2013.
Next month, Springsteen and the E Street Band head over to Europe for a run of 16 stadium shows. And on June 27, Tracks II: The Lost Albums – a collection of seven complete records Springsteen recorded between 1983 and 2018 – is finally coming out after years of feverish anticipation. The Springsteen biopic Deliver Me From Nowhere, staring Jeremy Allen White, is also due out before the end of the year. It focuses on the creation of 1982's Nebraska, and also stars Jeremy Strong, Paul Walter Hauser, Gaby Hoffmann, Marc Maron, and Stephen Graham.

Jessie J Battling Infection and Chest Pains Following Breast Cancer Surgery
Six weeks after undergoing a mastectomy following her breast cancer diagnosis, Jessie J was admitted to the hospital once again to address her ongoing complications. The musician shared in a recent Instagram Story post that she discharged herself ('I hate being in the hospital') after being assured that the symptoms she has been experiencing are not related to a blood clot in her lungs. '6 weeks post surgery and I was back in the same ward I was after my surgery,' Jessie wrote on Saturday, Aug. 2. 'Not expected or planned. I had and still have symptoms that pointed towards a blood clot on the lung. IT IS NOT A BLOOD CLOT THANK GOD.' The singer's testing revealed an infection and fluid in her lungs, but has not been explicitly detailed. 'Finding it hard to breathe in, but I discharged myself last night and will continue the investigation as an outpatient,' she said.

'I finally got a diagnosis of what's been going on. Lots of people have been asking, apparently it's called… Dramatic? I think that's the spelling,' she wrote. 'My symptoms are the same and no idea what's wrong yet. But my sarcasm and sense of humour are holding on.' Jessie shared that 'people think that I'm like hanging on by a thread,' but noted, 'in some moments [it] has felt that way.' Detailing her symptoms, she recalled, 'Two or three days ago, when I woke up, and I couldn't breathe. I still have pain in my chest when I breathe, but it's not as bad.' In July, Jessie revealed that her mastectomy was successful and the cancer did not spread. 'Happy tears are real. Thank YOU for the prayers, the love, the well wishes, the joy, and all the positive energy,' she said at the time. 'Lots of healing to go and one more surgery to make these cousins look more like sisters. But for now, it's gratitude time, and I am changing my name to The LopJess monster.'

Jessie J Has ‘No Cancer Spread' Following Mastectomy: ‘Happy Tears Are Real'
Jessie J is on the road to recovery after completing surgery following an early breast cancer diagnosis. The singer-songwriter shared an update on Instagram following her mastectomy, revealing that the cancer did not spread. 'Results = I have NO cancer spread,' Jessie wrote, followed by a string of crying emojis. 'Happy tears are real. Thank YOU for the prayers, the love, the well wishes, the joy and all the positive energy.' The caption accompanied a video of her son, Sky, learning to say 'Mommy's gonna be OK.' More from Rolling Stone Jessie J Hopes Her Breast Cancer Is 'All Gone' Following Surgery Jessie J Shares the 'Honest Lows and Highs' After Undergoing Breast Cancer Surgery Jessie J Played a Show Right After 5 Breast Biopsies: 'I Didn't Want to Cancel' 'This video is from the night before my surgery,' she wrote in her caption. 'We called it baby boy. You are my biggest ray of light and with you in my life the darkness will never win.' Following the surgery in late June, Jessie said that one of the biggest pitfalls of the experience was 'not being able to be the mum I'm used to being and not picking Sky up,' as well as 'the fear of not knowing if the cancer is all gone.' Prior to the procedure, the singer shared an emotional video in which she cried at the thought of hearing her son say he loves her and not being able to say it back. Jessie is celebrating her victory, but still has a ways to go before she's fully recovered. 'Lots of healing to go and one more surgery to make these cousins look more like sisters,' she wrote. 'But for now it's gratitude time and I am changing my name to The LopJess monster.' When Jessie revealed her diagnosis, she mentioned that she was 'not processing it because I'm working so hard.' In a separate post shared in June, she looked back on a live performance she completed right after she had undergone several breast biopsies in private. 'I also know how much sharing in the past has helped me with other people giving me their love and support and also their own stories,' she said.

See Trey Anastasio Perform ‘Scarlet Begonias' and ‘Fire on the Mountain' With Dead and Co
Dead and Co. wrapped up their three-day celebration of the Grateful Dead's 60th anniversary Sunday evening at San Francisco's Golden Gate Park with an epic set that included 'Shakedown Street,' 'Sugar Magnolia,' 'Cumberland Blues,' and 'Standing on the Moon.' The Trey Anastasio Band served as the warm-up act, and the Phish frontman came out during the start of Dead and Co's set to join them on 'Scarlet Begonias' and 'Fire on the Mountain.' It was a moment of jam band bliss with the two songs stretching out for roughly 15 minutes each. More from Rolling Stone See Sturgill Simpson Join Dead and Company for 'Morning Dew' at GD 60 See Dead and Company Perform 'Box of Rain' With Phil Lesh's Son Grahame at Dead 60 Show Dead & Company's San Francisco Livestream: How to Watch the Golden Gate Park Concerts Online Anastasio is a lifelong Deadhead. 'Every once in a while, there's a titanic American musician that comes through the ether,' he told Rolling Stone in July 2024, 'whether it be Louis Armstrong or James Brown. I mean, James Brown had a great band, too. And Jerry had a great band. We were lucky we got to experience that genius of American music in Jerry. We now get to sing his songs. Everybody gets to sing his songs.' When the Dead reconvened in 2015 to commemorate their 50th anniversary at a series of stadium shows, they recruited Anastasio to front the band. 'In my opinion, Jerry was one of the great American singers,' he told Rolling Stone's David Fricke that year. 'Those post-Jerry configurations [of the Dead] – that's always been the issue. I don't think anybody can be Jerry's voice.' 'My thought is, I love Jerry's voice, and I love these songs,' he continued. 'I'm happy to joyously sing whatever comes my way. But my take on it is that everybody sings – the audience too. They'll sing. We'll sing. Everybody knows the words. People have such lifelong relationships to these songs. When I say I'm providing a service – it's to the songs, the memories, the community.' Just months after the 50th anniversary shows, Bob Weir, Micky Hart, and Bill Kreutzmann formed Dead and Co. with John Mayer. They staged a farewell tour in the summer of 2023, but came back together last year for a residency at the Sphere. There was another run of Sphere shows earlier this year. There were early conversations about bringing Phil Lesh into the fold for the 60th anniversary shows. When he died in October 2024, Weir questioned whether it made sense to even have the concerts. 'I wouldn't put anybody in his place, so it would be a trio at this point,' Weir told Rolling Stone's Angie Martoccio in March. 'It'd be me and two drummers. I'd have to think about that.' The shows ultimately went forward with the current lineup of Dead and Co., though Lesh's son, Grahame Lesh, joined them at various points all three nights to represent his father. Kreutzmann, who has battled health problems in recent years and left Dead and Co. in 2023, wasn't there. There are no more Dead and Co. shows on the books, but Weir is confident the music of the Dead will carry on even after he's gone. 'I have no doubt about that,' he told Rolling Stone in March. 'What I'm trying to do is get my concerto project to the point where that is self-sustaining, and then I would probably want other folks to step in when I'm no longer here, and Wolf Bros. is a different deal. That whole thing is constructed so that anyone can step in and do it.'
