'Even the nights are better' with Air Supply Once again, mark your calendars for January 4, 2026.

As CNA Lifestyle aptly teased in their report, 'Even the nights are better now that we're here together with Air Supply.' And truly, what better way to kick off the new year than with a concert that promises the kind of romantic nostalgia only these Aussie crooners can deliver? Their last visit to Singapore was in December 2024, but clearly, once a year just isn't enough when you're dealing with decades of diehard fans and eternal soft rock love. From 'Jesus Christ Superstar' to global stardom Russell and Hitchcock met for the first time in 1975 while staging a production of Jesus Christ Superstar . It was a strangely divine start for a band that would go on to sing like no other.

Many sad teen love stories were set to their music, from breakups to make-ups and everything in between. Why we still love them 50 years on In a time of pop music made by computers and viral TikTok songs, Air Supply is like a handwritten love letter: A little dramatic but very much valued. Their lyrics are refreshingly real; they sometimes border on the over-the-top, but they're always presented with an honesty that still hits home. Besides, an Air Supply song is a must-have on any Spotify mix called 'Sad & Moody.' If you're still 'lost in love,' you're not alone Whether you're a long-time fan or a curious Gen Z-er who's wondering what your parents cried to in the '80s, this concert promises to be a masterclass in the art of the power ballad. So bring a date, bring your mum and dad, or just bring yourself. Because when it comes to an Air Supply concert, the only requirement is a heart that still remembers how to feel things deeply — even if it's just for two hours on a Sunday night.

Joel Embiid reveals fallout with former 76ers teammate James Harden after ugly exit: 'It hurts'
Philadelphia 76ers star big man Joel Embiid and James Harden created one of the best dynamic duos in the NBA when they were together. But after almost two seasons together on the court, Embiid revealed he's no longer on speaking terms with his former teammate. "No one knows this, but even James [Harden] is not talking to me," Embiid told ESPN in a lengthy interview. "That's the part I don't like about being 'that guy,' because it puts you in the middle of those situations. Because if you ask James, he probably believes I had something to do with him not being here. And I'm just like, 'I won the scoring title. You won the assists title. We had a pick-and-roll that was unstoppable.'" Embiid added, "It hurts when you feel like you haven't done anything wrong. When you think you have a relationship like that with somebody … you lose a lot." Harden joined the Sixers in 2022 after a bombshell trade with the Brooklyn Nets sent Ben Simmons, Seth Curry, Andre Drummond and two first-round picks to the Big Apple. The Sixers were immediately considered championship contenders with Harden and Embiid. However, Philadelphia lost early in the NBA Playoffs, falling in the conference semifinals in back-to-back seasons. Embiid won his only league MVP during the 2022-23 campaign, when he averaged 33.1 points, 10.2 rebounds and 4.2 assists. Harden led the league in assists with 10.7 per game. But after the team's playoff run that season, Harden became publicly disgruntled with the 76ers, specifically president of basketball operations Daryl Morey. Harden believed he had earned a max contract from the team, and he requested a trade after Morey did not give him one. It got uglier. Harden called Morey a "liar," saying he would "never be a part of an organization that (Morey's) a part of." Harden was then traded to the Los Angeles Clippers.
