John on The Donald: No comment

Elton John has found himself referenced in the context of an alarming nuclear confrontation, as President Donald Trump taunts North Korean leader Kim Jong Un using the moniker "Rocket Man," an apparent reference to John's 1972 hit. John's response? He's staying out of the fray. "We have no comment for you," his representative tells BuzzFeed. Meanwhile, the New York Times reports that North Korea has responded — yes, seriously — by calling Trump the "madman across the water."

It happened: at a Wednesday night benefit concert for Hurricane Harvey victims, held at CHS Field in St. Paul, Gene Simmons and his KISS bandmate Ace Frehley performed together onstage for the first time since 2001.

Win Butler is unapologetic about Arcade Fire's fake news

As part of this summer's Everything Now rollout, Arcade Fire disseminated a number of fake news stories about itself. The campaign frustrated many fans, but frontman Win Butler is unapologetic. "I feel like I now understand on a much deeper level why Trump got elected," he tells Vulture. "Negativity is what travels. So we learned more about how the internet functions, and how it's an insane feedback loop."

Butler goes on to discuss a story about the band that was true, but nonetheless disappointing in its virality.

We just played a show in London that was one of the best shows we've ever played there. It was honestly so f---ing exciting. And at the show we sold a T-shirt where we put an ironic Everything Now logo on top of Kylie Jenner’s face. It was visually punk as hell. We knew doing that would get a lot of press pickup but every single news outlet in the world covered it. Somehow there's a story in that, but there's not really a story in Band Is Really Amazing at Music and Plays a Live Show and People Cry Because It's So Beautiful.
