This spring, the U.K. rapper Giggs kicked off his first-ever North American headlining tour. That’s not because he’s just beginning his career — far from it. It’s because the highly respected artist, aged 40, has faced years of visa trouble preventing him from entering the U.S. He celebrated finally being able to play for his fans on this side of the Atlantic with a star-studded show at New York’s Gramercy Theatre. Here are our best photos from backstage and during the show.

Harry Styles Gives ‘Aperture’ Its Live Debut at 2026 BRIT Awards

Harry Styles opened the 2026 BRIT Awards on Saturday with a live performance debut of his new single “Aperture.”

The singer channeled the movement-heavy music video for the single during the performance. He started sitting on a set of bleachers surrounded by dancers wearing black shades and T-shirts with snails on them. The dancers performed choreography mostly featuring elaborate hand gestures. Styles, dressed in a button-down shirt, tie, and high-waisted trousers, led the choreography before getting up and moving around the stage.

Michael Jackson Estate Sued for Child Trafficking by Siblings Alleging More Than Decade of Abuse

Four adult siblings who claim Michael Jackson abused them when they were minors have filed a bombshell child sex trafficking lawsuit against the late musician’s estate.

The new complaint, filed Friday in federal court in Los Angeles, comes one month after the siblings — Frank, Dominic, Marie-Nicole, and Aldo Cascio — appeared in a Beverly Hills courthouse amid a related effort to void a financial settlement with Jackson’s estate that they described as “an unlawful agreement to silence victims of childhood sexual abuse.” Reps for the estate asked the court to order the parties into arbitration, but the judge withheld a final ruling and set a follow-up hearing for March 5.

Rihanna Posts Documentary Proof She Is Recording Music

Rihanna, who has said she’s been working on her first new album in a decade, has now shared some cold, hard proof that she really is in the recording studio. The singer shared an 80-second Instagram Reel, “A Night in the Life,” featuring a late-night (early-morning) stop at the studio.

The video kicks off with her attending a meeting for her lingerie brand (the whole Reel is captioned “commercial break”), reviewing designs (some of which are blurred so you can’t steal them), autographing records, and getting the punch-drunk giggles at 1:30 in the morning.
