But these days, the drummer is just as focused on giving back, staying creative and making sure the next generation gets the same access to music that helped shape his own life. In a new interview on Joann Butler In Studio With..., Sorum talks about the inaugural Palm Springs Sound & Vision Awards, a benefit tied to his Adopt the Arts foundation. The event honored vocalist Paul Rodgers (Free, Bad Company) and Black Sabbath bassist Geezer Butler, and brought together an all-star lineup including Nuno Bettencourt, Steve Stevens, Corey Taylor and Lzzy Hale. The performances were captured for Sound & Vision Live, a limited-edition double-vinyl album produced by Sorum, which is limited to 2,000 copies. The album is available for pre-order through Experience Vinyl. The collector’s release directly benefits Adopt the Arts, which he co-founded with actress Jane Lynch in 2010. Sorum also looks back on the very different worlds of The Cult, Guns N’ Roses and Velvet Revolver. His work with Guns N’ Roses helped earn him induction into the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame in 2012, and he later found another major chapter with Velvet Revolver. He remembers the band as a particularly exciting rebirth and credits Scott Weiland with helping inspire its style and evolution. “Scott was just such a gem of a frontman,” Sorum says, calling him one of the best. The group’s success, including a number-one album and a Grammy win, remains one of the highlights of his career. And what if Guns N’ Roses called and asked him to come back? “I don’t know. I changed my phone number,” Sorum jokes when Butler asks him. He also weighs in on rock music today, saying the genre needs another true “cultural shift” like the one that happened when Nirvana arrived. His advice to younger musicians is to stop worrying about what sounds “modern” and concentrate on making the music they actually want to make — and writing great songs. Away from the stage, becoming a father at 60 has given Sorum a whole new perspective. He calls having his daughter “the greatest decision I ever made,” saying she inspired him to get healthier, take better care of himself and want to live a longer life. And after everything he’s experienced, Sorum says he wouldn’t change much. His advice to his younger self: “Do it exactly the way you did it, because you’re supposed to be right where you are right now.”lifeminute.tvMatt Sorum has spent decades behind the kit for some of rock’s most iconic bands, including Guns N’ Roses, The Cult, and Velvet Revolver.

In a new interview on Joann Butler in Studio With..., the Deep Purple frontman says the band’s current tour is “probably the best we’ve ever done,” calling the schedule intense, even “insane,” but still exciting after all these years. One of the biggest moments came when Ritchie Blackmore joined Deep Purple onstage in New York. Gillan says Blackmore reached out beforehand asking if he could “step up in ‘Smoke,’” a request that instantly made him smile. He describes the reunion as warm and magical, adding that whatever problems existed between them had been put behind them years ago. Gillan also gets into Deep Purple’s new album, Splat!, and why the current lineup feels so connected to the band’s classic sound. He says guitarist Simon McBride has brought a more grounded approach and that the new songs fit seamlessly alongside the older material live. The band’s creative process remains refreshingly old-school too: they jam together, shape the songs as a group and record much of the album live in the studio. Of course, Joann also takes Gillan back into Deep Purple history. He recalls “Highway Star” coming together on a bus ride to Brighton after a journalist asked how the band wrote songs — and says they played it that same night. “Smoke on the Water,” meanwhile, grew out of the real-life Montreux fire and eventually became one of the most played rock songs on radio. He also looks back on the early days of Deep Purple coming together, the instant chemistry he felt with Roger Glover, the story behind Child in Time, how the band reunited over curry and a phone call to Jon Lord, and the camaraderie that once connected Deep Purple, Led Zeppelin and Black Sabbath.

He’s a composer, an innovator, and a musical force who helped redefine what a rock drummer could do — and on this episode of Joann Butler In Studio With…, we sat down with the seven-time Grammy winner to talk about all of it. Copeland walks us through how The Police came together, what first drew him to Sting, why he was convinced the band had to stay a three-piece, and how those early instincts shaped one of rock’s most iconic groups. He also gets candid about where he is now, telling us he considers himself “kind of retired from show business” — still making music, still performing, but only for the projects that genuinely excite him. Life beyond The Police: The “Have I Said Too Much” tour: Stepping back from the traditional grind of the industry hasn’t stopped Copeland from connecting with audiences — it’s just changed the format. The Rock and Roll Hall of Fame inductee is bringing his first North American spoken-word tour, “Have I Said Too Much – The Police, Hollywood, and Other Adventures,” to cities across the country. Expect personal stories, photos, video, and live audience Q&A — a genuine behind-the-scenes look at a career that spans from the formation of The Police to his adventures well beyond music. How Stewart Copeland formed The Police: One of our favorite moments in the conversation is Copeland’s own account of how The Police came to be. We asked him what caught his attention about Sting, why he pushed for a three-piece lineup, and how guitarist Andy Summers completed the chemistry that defined the band’s sound. His answer is part strategy, part instinct — a mix of practical thinking and the musical influences that shaped one of rock’s greatest bands. The Police album that means the most to him: When we asked Copeland which Police record means the most to him, he didn’t hesitate: Reggatta de Blanc. He tells us why that era marked a creative high point for the band, and why the album still holds a special place for him decades later. A childhood in the Middle East that shaped his music: Copeland’s path into music started early — and unusually. Raised in the Middle East by a father who worked for the CIA and moonlighted as a musician, he tells us music was simply part of the air he breathed growing up. He remembers just wanting to “bang stuff” as a kid, and shares the surprising story of his first drum teacher — an experience that left a permanent mark on his playing. From Neil Peart and Taylor Hawkins to Buddy Rich: Stories from a legendary career: We couldn’t resist asking about the drummers who shaped him and the ones he’s shaped in turn. Copeland shares memories of jamming with Neil Peart and Taylor Hawkins, and tells us one of his proudest career stories: the time jazz legend Buddy Rich asked him for an autograph. He also reveals the origin of his signature technique — the “orthodox grip” he still uses today, taught to him by his first drum teacher, a drummer from an Armenian strip club in Beirut. The legacy of one of rock’s most innovative drummers: Across the whole conversation, Copeland brings the humor, honesty, and hard-won wisdom of a decades-long career — giving us an inside look at the music, friendships, and choices that built his legacy.

Raised in the Middle East by a father who worked for the CIA and moonlighted as a musician, he tells us music was simply part of the air he breathed growing up. He remembers just wanting to “bang stuff” as a kid, and shares the surprising story of his first drum teacher — an experience that left a permanent mark on his playing. From Neil Peart and Taylor Hawkins to Buddy Rich: Stories from a legendary career: We couldn’t resist asking about the drummers who shaped him and the ones he’s shaped in turn. Copeland shares memories of jamming with Neil Peart and Taylor Hawkins, and tells us one of his proudest career stories: the time jazz legend Buddy Rich asked him for an autograph. He also reveals the origin of his signature technique — the “orthodox grip” he still uses today, taught to him by his first drum teacher, a drummer from an Armenian strip club in Beirut. The legacy of one of rock’s most innovative drummers: Across the whole conversation, Copeland brings the humor, honesty, and hard-won wisdom of a decades-long career — giving us an inside look at the music, friendships, and choices that built his legacy.

Perkins stars in Netflix’s Big Mistakes, a dark comedy from Dan Levy and Rachel Sennott, about siblings pulled into organized crime. She praised Levy’s inclusive, collaborative style, calling the set environment both rare and inspiring—made even more special by finally working with her longtime friend, Laurie Metcalf. She’s also set to appear in FX’s Cry Wolf, from Sarah Treem, alongside Olivia Colman and Brie Larson, tackling the complexities of Child Protective Services. She also had a brief, but impactful appearance in The Housemaid, directed by Paul Feig, continuing a run of high-profile collaborations. With a career spanning film, television, and theater, Perkins has built an eclectic résumé. She earned multiple award nominations for her role on Weeds and won a Gracie Award for Sharp Objects. Her early breakout came in Big alongside Tom Hanks, with other notable performances in About Last Night with Demi Moore and Rob Lowe, Avalon, and a wide range of film and television projects that showcase her versatility.

Deeply influenced by her experience with synesthesia—a perceptual phenomenon where one sense triggers another, such as hearing sounds and seeing colors—Brosh transforms music into a rich, multisensory experience where melodies evoke color, texture, and emotion. For Eventide, Brosh teamed up with longtime collaborators, including Brendon Small—creator of Metalocalypse and frontman of Dethklok—who appears on “Roulette,” alongside Dethklok bassist Pete Griffin on “Lavender Mountains.” Known for her work on Michael Jackson ONE by Cirque du Soleil, and as a member of Danny Elfman’s live band, she continues to bring those influences into her solo work while keeping the guitar at the forefront. Speaking of, Brosh is launching her first-ever signature guitar with her longstanding partner, Ibanez, titled “The Answer,” set to arrive this summer. In support of Eventide, she’s heading out on tour, beginning with European dates before joining Dethklok for a North American headline run.

The Spokane, Washington native—now based in Nashville—recently appeared on The Kelly Clarkson Show and continues to build on a breakout year that included a headline tour across the UK and North America. With more than 90 million streams worldwide, St. John is stepping confidently into his next chapter. At its core, Man Of The North is a deeply personal project that took nearly four years to complete. He calls it “a love letter to my roots,” inspired by his Pacific Northwest upbringing and shaped by seasons of growth and self-discovery. Recorded live with a full band to capture the energy of his shows, the album also reflects his candid journey through depression and addiction, with songwriting serving as both release and renewal. Before these milestones, St. John spent years grinding it out in dive bars and open mics. After seven years of auditioning, he earned a spot on The Voice with Team Gwen Stefani during a pandemic-era season—an experience that gave him national exposure and affirmed his artistic path. He also recently celebrated his debut on the Grand Ole Opry stage and scored a career highlight when his song “Paul Revere” was featured on the NFL’s Sunday Spotlight series.

In 1984, he was a member of the Paisley Underground music scene in Los Angeles, having his first brush with success playing in the revered band Green on Red. Since the band’s dissolution, he has not only been steadily churning out his own unique brand of Americana rock while incorporating a wide variety of influences but also collaborating with a long, eclectic list of artists, including Warren Zevon, Kelly Willis, Jim Dickinson, Jonathan Richman, and Alejandro Escovedo. This list, of course, only scratches the surface. Chuck is back with his latest effort, Wake The Dead, which comes four years after his previous record. This time, he is bringing the band ¿Qiensave? along for the ride. After a major health scare in 2022 (battling stage 4 lymphoma), along with the COVID lockdown, Chuck found himself gravitating toward a form of Latin dance music called Cumbia. The origins of this music started in Colombia, but it has since spread throughout Latin American countries, including Mexico and Argentina. Now cancer-free, Prophet is hitting the road with a six-piece band, bringing his variation of Cumbia along with some classics that have his fans dancing in the aisles.

They call it House of Mustaine—blending music, culture, and the art of fine winemaking. But this is not your ordinary name on a label. The Mustaines have dived deep, establishing their own vineyards, currently in the wine capitals of the world, both Italy and California, pouring their heart and soul into every bottle with a passion and deep respect for tradition, sustainability, and innovation in every pour. Inspired by Megadeth’s groundbreaking collaboration with the San Diego Symphony and wanting to offer both traditional Megadeth fans and symphony patrons alike with fine wine, it has since expanded its portfolio to include ten small-batch, limited-edition wines grown in its sustainable vineyards across the globe. Each wine is a celebration of authenticity and artistry, named after one of Dave’s iconic songs and stamped with the Mustaine family crest. Just as every song has a story through its lyrics and melody, so does every wine through its culture and craftsmanship. Each bottle is a statement, making it just as bold, uncompromising, and unforgettable as the rock’n’roll legacy it was founded on. House of Mustaine offers a flexible, subscription-based wine club that includes access to exclusive events and curated luxury travel experiences, first dibs on new releases, special pricing, access to all wines, and customizable monthly, quarterly, or semi-annual shipments of its current offerings. House of Mustaine Wine Club members will also have private access to once-in-a-lifetime trips across the globe, with monthly luxury travel experiences being offered throughout 2025, starting with a February adventure to Thailand. The six-day trek will adventure through northern Thailand, blending high-energy outdoor activities (i.e., zip-lining, elephant safaris, white-water rafting) with authentic cultural and local culinary experiences, and stays in unique luxury accommodations.

He is singer, songwriter, composer, multi-instrumentalist, and producer, Alain Johannes. He’s a self-taught musical genius. But don’t take his word for it ‘cause he won’t tell you that. But if you dig hard enough, ask other legendary musicians, and take a good listen, you’ll learn for yourself. Alain Johannes was born into a musical family—his parents and uncles were all hugely accomplished singers and musicians in his native Chile. So it was only natural that this singer, songwriter, master multi-instrumentalist, and record producer would follow in their footsteps. He came to America at age 12 without knowing a single word of English. By age 17, he was fluent in the language and fronting a high-school band called Anthym. Their name, later changed to What Is This?, famously appeared on the nationally televised American Bandstand with Dick Clark. The band's core members included Hillel Slovak (guitar), Jack Irons (drums), and Michael Balzary (aka, Flea on bass), the three of whom, would later account for three-fourths of the Red Hot Chili Peppers' original lineup. The real turning point in Johannes’s life and career came when he met and married his soulmate of 25 years, Natasha Shneider. The duo would become one of the most powerful and dynamic musical pairings of our time, recording their first album together under the moniker Walk The Moon in 1987. A few years later, their band, Eleven, was born, adding drummer Jack Irons (RHCP, Pearl Jam) back into the fold and, at various times, Matt Cameron (Soundgarden, Pearl Jam) and Greg Upchurch (3 Doors Down). The group released five records through 2003 (Awake in a Dream, Eleven, Thunk, Avantgardedog, and Howling Book) while also touring extensively as an opening act and backing band for esteemed acts such as Soundgarden, Queens of the Stone Age, Candlebox, and Chris Cornell as a solo performer. Their partnership with Cornell would blossom when they went on to play a major role in writing and producing his first solo effort, Euphoria Morning, in 1999. At the same time, their record label asked them to postpone the release of their latest and arguably most important album, Avantgardedog, so that they could back up Cornell on his Euphoria Morning tour. This was one of the first times the group’s talent was somewhat overlooked by record company execs. It played a pivotal role in preventing Eleven from truly achieving their richly deserved mainstream breakthrough. 2008 proved to be an unbearable year for Alain, with a string of untimely deaths. First, his beloved Natasha lost her battle with cancer, and shortly after, he lost both of his parents and his uncle Peter. Through so much devastating loss, he’s persevered as a solo artist, recording three albums so far—Spark, a special tribute to Shneider, Fragments and Wholes, Vol. 1, and Hum. Currently, he is working on Fragments and Wholes Vol. 2 and an album with his Alain Johannes Trio that includes the single "Luna A Sol" with Faith No More’s Mike Patton on vocals. Alain remains a sought-after record producer, having recorded for everyone from Mark Lanegan (Screaming Trees), Josh Homme and Queens of the Stone Age, Adam Lambert, No Doubt, PJ Harvey, and Arctic Monkeys to newer acts such as Lost Satellite, The Devils, Earl of Hell, and many others, imprinting his own unique and undeniable sound and style to every project. In 2019, he created the soundtrack to Tom Clancy’s Ghost Recon video game. His work can also be heard as a touring member and songwriter on Josh Homme’s Desert Sessions and Them Crooked Vultures (Homme, Dave Grohl, and John Paul Jones), as well as a pivotal member of Sound City Players for the Dave Grohl documentary showcasing the history of the famous Sound City Studios in Los Angeles. To this day, Eleven’s large following of loyal fans follow Alain all over the globe to hear songs from his impressive catalog.

After releasing a pair of early albums, he got married, moved to California, returned to the business he’d founded, and became a father, but he never lost that love for music. In 2014, he returned to the studio to record his third album and was introduced to Avatar Studios, which, under its original name of The Power Station, had hosted the likes of Bruce Springsteen, Paul Simon, David Bowie, and Bob Dylan.

As a result, he met Rob Mathes, with whom he worked on multiple other albums there over the years.

Her latest, Someone Like You, is one of them—but this time, Karen and her husband Donald, used their savings to make the film all on their own without the help of studios or investors. Shot last year in her home state of Tennessee, as well as Alabama, Someone Like You was co-written by Kingsbury and Tyler Russell (A Thousand Tomorrows), who makes his feature directorial debut. Kingsbury and Russell also produced the film, alongside Natalie Ruffino Wilson (Best Laid Plans) and Trevor K. Ball (This is 20). The film stars Sarah Fisher who plays the two lead roles (Degrassi: The Next Generation, Kiss and Cry), Jake Allyn (No Man's Land, The Quad), Robyn Lively (Teen Witch, The Karate Kid Part III), Bart Johnson (High School Musical I, II, III), Scott Reeves (Nashville, The Young and the Restless), and Lynn Collins (The Walking Dead, X-Men Origins: Wolverine). The film explores the timely topic of embryo adoption, a subject close to Karen's heart, as her One Chance Foundation has given several grants to embryo adoption. A portion of proceeds from Someone Like You will benefit the organization. Actor Taylor Lautner and his wife Tay Lautner are marketing partners with the film. A portion of proceeds will also benefit their The Lemons Foundation, which encourages and advocates for those struggling with mental health and provides accessible resources and support.

The more tickets sold, the longer the film stays in theaters. lifeminute.tv#1 New York Times bestselling author Karen Kingsbury is one of America’s favorite inspirational storytellers, with more than twenty-five million copies of her award-winning books in print.

A retirement? Heck no. The icon is just putting the brakes on touring but has big plans in the works to exercise his impeccable writing chops. And you can still hear him on Saturday nights as he currently hosts his own radio show on 77 WABC. The Grammy nominee has sold millions of records, including five that hit #1: “Tie A Yellow Ribbon ‘Round The Ole Oak Tree,” a timeless anthem for our soldiers, veterans, and any loved one coming home; “Knock Three Times,” “Candida,” “My Sweet Gypsy Rose,” and “He Don’t Love You (Like I Love You).” He has two Platinum and three Gold albums and 15 Top 40 Hits. He was inducted into the New Jersey Hall of Fame at the New Jersey Performing Arts Center last year and was the first vocal pop artist to sign with Epic Records and hit the national music charts in 1961. He’s an author, has acted in movies (was hysterical in Adam Sandler’s That’s My Boy) and on Broadway, and was a music exec for Clive Davis repping everyone from James Taylor, Laura Nyro, and Blood Sweat & Tears to signing and producing Barry Manilow’s first recording. Of course, he also hosted the hugely popular variety show Tony Orlando and Dawn in the 70s. He has been honored several times with lifetime achievement awards for his contributions to the industry, his enormous charitable efforts to support our veterans, and for 33 years served as cohost of the muscular dystrophy telethon helping to raise millions of dollars to find a cure for muscular dystrophy.
