The All-American Rejects' ‘house party' tour has fans going wild
The All-American Rejects are on a mission to bring house-parties back into the game. Having embarked on a 'House Party Tour' to promote their new single, fans now have the chance to bring their favorite 2000's punk-rock band to their own backyards by RSVPing a venue on the band's Linktree page. The concept for this tour arose out of the band's desire to reconnect with true fans at the ground level and challenge how lucrative the mainstream concert industry has become. So far, the band has played in a backyard in Chicago, a bowling alley in Minneapolis, a Columbia grad party at a private lawn in Missouri and the quad of the University of Wisconsin-Green Bay. This string of concerts kicked off on April 30, a week after the band released their single Sandbox, which is a part of their new album Easy Come, Easy Go, set to release on June 5. This will be the band's first album in 13 years. The band invited fans to send more locations for pop-up shows via a social media post. A post shared by The All-American Rejects (@therejects) The most recent show happened at a backyard in Nashville. A post shared by Rolling Stone (@rollingstone) To invite the band to their hometown, fans need only drop their contact details on an RSVP link at their Linktree page. The location of these pop-up shows is, however, kept confidential up until a few hours before performing and the fan who recommends the location is informed only some time prior to the band's arrival. Completely free of cost, these shows are a way for the band to challenge inflated pricing and lack of interest found at big concerts and reconnect with an audience that truly enjoys their music. 'We played this random house party [in Los Angeles], and it was like, of all the shows we played in the last 10 years, it was, like, this big wake-up call to the reality of, 'Oh, this is why we started doing this.' We played in house shows. We played backyards, VFWs, and I just told my manager, 'That worked. Let's do that,'" explained Tyson Ritter, frontman of the All-American Rejects. Ritter also gave a speech to the packed crowd at a recent house party where he stressed on the importance of delivering nostalgia and true songs to its fan base rather than trying to make a quick buck and thanked his audience for keeping the spirit of rock and roll alive. A post shared by 𝐓𝐀𝐊𝐈𝐍𝐆 𝐁𝐀𝐂𝐊 𝐒𝐀𝐓𝐔𝐑𝐃𝐀𝐘 (@takingbacksaturday) Fans took to social media to express their admiration of the brand's genius marketing move and love for their fans. The band's next house party is listed for May 23 following which they will be taking to the stage on July 7 in Calgary, Alberta which leaves sufficient space for more pop-up shows to be conducted in between. They are also slated to open the Jonas Brothers show at the Schottenstein Center on Nov 8.

Teen Idol's Wife Says His Body Is Now ‘Shutting Down' After Cancer Battle
Bobby Sherman's wife has revealed that the former teen idol's body is 'shutting down' as he battles Stage 4 kidney cancer. In a phone interview with Fox News Digital Wednesday, Brigitte Poublon said Sherman is 'terminally ill' and is now 'at home with special care.' 'He was doing crossword puzzles with me in the last few days. And then all of a sudden Saturday, he turned around and…he's just sleeping more and his body's not working anymore. It's not. Everything's shutting down,' she continued. 'His last words from the hospital last night were, 'Brig, I just want to go home.' Poublon also confirmed to Fox News Digital that Sherman's cancer has 'spread everywhere.' On March 25, Poublon announced in a Facebook post that Sherman, 81, was battling cancer. 'As many of you know, Bobby has been retired for some time and is no longer able to participate in cameos, sign autographs, or make appearances,' she wrote. 'It is with a heavy heart that we share Bobby has recently been diagnosed with stage 4 cancer. During this challenging time, we kindly ask for your understanding and respect for our privacy. Thank you so much for still remembering him. We really appreciate it.' Sherman shot to fame after playing Jeremy Bolt on television series Here Come the Brides, which aired from 1968 to 1970. Along with starring in a handful of TV roles during that decade, Sherman was also widely loved for his music with tracks like 'Little Woman,' 'Easy Come, Easy Go,' and 'Julie, Do Ya Love Me' soaring to top hits. He later stepped away from acting and music to pursue public service. According to the Los Angeles Times, Sherman was a volunteer paramedic, a technical reserve police officer with the Los Angeles Police Department, and a reserve deputy sheriff with the San Bernardino County Sheriff's Department. 'I think it's important that Bobby realizes the impact he left on the world, the music he left behind, the TV series he left behind, but mostly, too, his love for caring about people, being a paramedic, a cop,' Poublon told Fox News Digital. 'I want to have him realize how many people he really influenced, how he touched lives.' The couple married in 2010.

Bobby Sherman, '60s teen heartthrob, diagnosed with stage 4 cancer
Bobby Sherman, an actor and singer who rose to teen idol status in the 1960s, has been diagnosed with cancer. Sherman's wife Brigitte Poublon announced the diagnosis in a post to Facebook Tuesday and thanked his "cherished fans" for "remembering him." She did not specify the type of cancer. "As many of you know, Bobby has been retired for some time and is no longer able to participate in cameos, sign autographs, or make appearances," wrote Poublon, who wed Sherman in 2011. "It is with a heavy heart that we share Bobby has recently been diagnosed with stage 4 cancer," she continued. "During this challenging time, we kindly ask for your understanding and respect for our privacy." A rep for Sherman was not immediately available for comment. Need a break? Play the USA TODAY Daily Crossword Puzzle. Sherman, 81, exemplified a classic California pop king. Hailing from Santa Monica, he charmed audiences with ballads like the gold-record-winning "Little Woman" and "Easy Come, Easy Go" and blended yacht rock with doo-wop sensibilities. More Monkees than Beach Boys, his sound was not the only source of success for Sherman. His heartthrob look and singing chops also landed him on several television shows. In 1968, he made his debut on "Here Come the Brides," a Western comedy series. He was later cast as the house singer on the ABC variety show "Shindig!" and appeared in several cameos on "The Patridge Family" and "The Love Boat." For Sherman, teen stardom represented only a first act. In the 1990s he left entertainment to become a paramedic and work with local law enforcement, teaching first aid to recruits at the Los Angeles Police Department Academy, according to a 1993 profile of him in The Los Angeles Times. He later became a technical reserve officer for the department. "Thank you so much for still remembering him," Sherman's wife concluded in her statement. "We really appreciate it."
