Megan Thee Stallion was transported to a hospital on Tuesday, March 31, during her performance of Moulin Rouge! The Musical and left the show mid-way.

“During Tuesday night’s production [of Moulin Rouge! The Musical], Megan started feeling very ill and was promptly transported to a local hospital, where her symptoms are currently being evaluated,” a spokesperson for Megan Thee Stallion said in a statement to Rolling Stone. “We will share additional updates as more information becomes available.”

The Grammy winner’s hairstylist Kellon Deryck wrote in a separate X post, “Everyone say a prayer for Megan, we are all at the hospital.”

Megan announced in February that she joined the cast of Broadway’s Moulin Rouge! The Musical in the role of the Moulin Rouge’s owner and MC, Zidler. Her run with the production began on March 24 and will wrap on May 17.

The role was originated by Danny Burstein, who won a Tony for the role. Tituss Burgess, Boy George, and Wayne Brady have all played it since it opened in July 2018. “I’ve always believed in pushing myself creatively,” Megan Thee Stallion said in a statement, according to The New York Times, “and theater is definitely a new opportunity that I’m excited to embrace.”

The rapper added, “Broadway demands a different level of discipline, preparation and storytelling, but I’m up for the challenge and can’t wait for the Hotties to see a new side of me.”

‘Come to Brasil’ Documentary Showcases the Unique Power of Brazilian Fandoms

‘Come to Brasil’ Documentary Showcases the Unique Power of Brazilian Fandoms

If you’ve ever scrolled through social media, you’ve probably seen the phrase “come to Brazil!” (or “Brasil,” if it’s the Portugeuse spelling) a million times, especially in the comment sections of famous musicians’ profiles. Now, a new documentary, created in association with Rolling Stone, is spotlighting the devoted fans that turned the comment into a global rallying cry.

“It became a meme me and my friends used [when] we missed someone and wanted them to come visit us,” say director Lina Abascal, who first came across the phrase online. But the phrase took on new life as she explored it further. “Come to Brasil, to me, is a story that blends in-person and internet communities and an opportunity to dive in a humanize something that may come off as trivial or campy to outsiders,” Abascal says.

The Strokes’ ‘Reality Awaits’: Reality Bites a Little Too Hard

The Strokes’ stock is pretty high in 2026, definitely higher than it was in 2016, and maybe even 2006. This year marks the 25th anniversary of their classic debut, Is This It? Their recent tour, the band’s first in 20 years, saw them light up a multigenerational audience of young olds and old youngs. Their standing isn’t only based on nostalgia either: Though the last Strokes album, 2020’s The New Abnormal, got a little lost in the Covid malaise, its standout hit, “The Adults Are Talking,” has as many Spotify streams as “Last Nite.” Meanwhile, the biggest indie band around, Geese, is undeniably post-post-Strokes, even if the band members were still in their strollers back when Julian, Albert, Fab, Nick, and Nikolai owned the night. Not a bad legacy to keep rolling into your second quarter century.

D4vd’s Tesla Was Filled With Air Fresheners When Celeste Rivaz Hernandez’s Body Was Discovered

At least 11 air fresheners from brand names including Purell and Febreze were found inside D4vd‘s Tesla along with the decomposing remains of 14-year-old Celeste Rivas Hernandez.

Testifying on the second day of a preliminary hearing, LAPD Criminalist Chelsea Murillo said she recovered most of the air fresheners from the center console of the Tesla Model X, though others were scattered in the rear seats and in the front trunk. She also found extensive “insect activity” in the front trunk and noticed “a strong odor” when she helped process the vehicle on Sept. 9, 2025. Rivas’ remains had been found in the car’s front trunk the day before.
