John Stamos slays drums on Papa Roach's ‘Last Resort,' a song he says he'd never heard before
John Stamos proved he's always up for a challenge in a new video for YouTube channel Drumeo, in which he was tasked with drumming along to a song he'd never heard before. Enter Papa Roach's 'Last Resort.' For all the Millennials currently gasping that the former 'Full House' star has never heard this banger from the year 2000 – the music video of which currently has over 280 million views on YouTube – we hear you. The 'For the First Time' challenge is simple: The participant first listens to a song they'd never heard before with the drum section removed. Then, they are tasked with playing the part on their own. 'Let me tell every drummer who ever gets the chance to do this, don't,' he jokingly told the camera, as host Brandon Toews looked on. 'It's intimidating but, f*** it.' Stamos heard the song a couple of times, eventually recording the entire song his own way and improvising as the fast-paced nu metal track of the aughts played. By the end, Stamos, clearly exhausted with his hair drenched from sweat, had impressed the room. Afterward, he asked if the song was by Ozzy Osbourne but Toews revealed to him that the song was by Papa Roach and the drummer is Dave Buckner. Ultimately, the two concluded that Stamos' version wound up being pretty close to Buckner's original rendition. 'That was pretty cool!' Stamos said. 'I think I barely lived through it… I survived.' Stamos, best known for his work on the small screen, is an experienced musician and passionate drummer, having performed with major acts including the Beach Boys, BB King and Bruce Springsteen.

John Stamos Drums Along to Papa Roach's 'Last Resort' While Hearing It For The First Time Ever — Watch!
Somehow John Stamos went decades without hearing "Last Resort" by Papa Roach. The Full House star participated in the YouTube channel Drumeo's "For The First Time" challenge with host Brandon Toews dropping by Stamos' house, where he had a full drum kit already. For the video series, Stamos, 61, performed the drums on Papa Roach's 2003 hit song in the Friday, April 25 video — without ever hearing the song before. Related: John Stamos Is Joined by Son Billy, 6, on Drums During Beach Boys Show: 'Had a Little Help From My Son' "I would tell every drummer that ever gets a chance to do this, don't," Stamos joked at the start of the clip. The You actor has been drumming for years and has performed with The Beach Boys along with other musicians, including B.B. King, Tom Jones, John Fogerty and Bruce Springsteen. For the musical challenge, Toews played "Last Resort" for Stamos with the drum part removed, giving him a chance to improvise on his own. After attempting to figure out the drum parts of "Last Resort," which Stamos guessed was a "pretty heavy metal kind of vibe," his wife Caitlin McHugh and son Billy walked through, covering their ears with their hands. Stamos' second and third takes slowly improved, where he had a better understanding of the nuances within the song. After his final take, covered in sweat from the vigorous drumming, the Grandfathered actor asked if the song was Ozzy Osbourne. Stamos then heard the version with the drums included and learned who actually played it — David Buckner of Papa Roach. Toews told Stamos that a lot of his drumming was similar to the actual song's beat. is now available in the Apple App Store!

"I haven't heard me play it yet so I don't know about that. But I survived." Fans were excited to see Stamos take on the challenge. "Never in my 32 years on earth did I ever expect I'd watch a video of John Stamos playing Papa Roach on drums," one fan said on YouTube. "It's f------ insane how good drummers almost always find something insanely close to the original song," a second wrote. "Personally i don't think it's fair that John Stamos is this talented AND handsome. Really couldn't have the decency to be only one," someone else teased. Another agreed: "The wife coming through passively complaining about the noise and how long the activity has been going relatable."

In July 2024, the actor and his son, Billy, played the drums with the Beach Boys for the band's Endless Summer Gold 2024 Tour stop in Michigan. "Had a little help from my son BILLY on good vibrations last night," he captioned the Instagram video. "Wasn't it nice! @thebeachboys." Read the original article on People

Phil Collins admits he's ‘very sick' following retirement announcement
The British singer-songwriter, Phil Collins has revealed that he is 'very sick' just three years after announcing his retirement from live performances. The former Genesis drummer announced his retirement from live shows in 2022 having previously said he can 'barely hold a drumstick' after suffering a spinal injury in 2007. His final concert with the group was at London's O2 Arena. The concert was billed as the band's last ever together and saw Collins say goodbye to his fans. Now speaking to Mojo magazine, the musician revealed the full extent of his health problems and how it has impacted his desire to continue making music. The 74-year-old told the publication: 'I keep thinking I should go downstairs to the studio and see what happens but I'm not hungry for it anymore.' 'The thing is. I've been sick, I mean very sick,' he added. The final Genesis concerts did not feature vocalist Peter Gabriel but the singer did explain to Mojo why he still chose to attend the group's last show. 'Phil wasn't in as great a shape as he used to be, but they did a great job,' said Gabriel. 'Me going was a rite of passage, really. I'd been part of the creation of Genesis, so I wanted to be there at the end.' Last year, Collins opened up about his music career in Phil Collins: Drummer First, which premiered on 18 December on the Drumeo YouTube channel.'It's still kind of sinking in,' he said as he surveyed his drum kit. 'I've spent all my life playing drums. To suddenly not be able to do that is a shock.' He reflected: 'If I can't do what I did as well as I did it, I'd rather relax and not do anything. But if I wake up one day and I can hold a pair of drumsticks, then I'll have a crack at it. But I just feel like I've used up my air miles.' Yet he was evidently still passionate, holding drumsticks as he commented: 'It just feels so strange to hold a pair.' The documentary demonstrated Collins's immeasurable impact on music by interviewing a number of fellow musicians who spoke about his talent and influence. A number of younger musicians said they discovered his music through a famous advert for Cadbury's Dairy Milk chocolate, which featured a gorilla playing one of his best-known songs, 'In the Air Tonight'.
