Zac Brown's Las Vegas residency will tell a 'personal story'
The 46-year-old singer is set to perform at the Sphere in Las Vegas later this year, and Zac's show will explore the ups and downs of his life.
He told People: "I'm telling my very personal story that I've never really told, of what drove me into music and how music's been there to save my life over and over again."
Zac is convinced that his show will be bigger and better than anything he's done previously.
He said: "It's going to be a wild ride coming to this show.
"I've never been able to have the budget or the time to really create something that's this big before."
Zac thinks the Sphere is the perfect location for his residency.
The singer explained: "The last three or four years I've been trying to think of how we can create a spectacle that really elevates the experience that we can give to our fans. And I think back to when Pink Floyd came out with The Wall and the size and scale of their production that they came out with. What is that thing for us? What is our Wall?
"Then I found out about the building at the Sphere and I went to visit when it was under construction. Seeing and hearing everything that they had, I was like, 'This is the place to do it. And this is one of those years to really bet on ourselves.'"
Zac is already looking forward to performing in front of his fans in Las Vegas.
He said: "I'm just an ordinary person, but you can do extraordinary things with an extraordinary effort, and all of the hardest things that you've ever been through end up serving you in some way. And sharing my story is really just about sharing more of that humanity and how we're all connected.
"I love the title Love and Fear because you can base all your decisions based on one of those two things. You either move forward with love and get back up on the horse and keep going and persevere or you become a victim of something and kind of stuck in the mud."

Billy Joel's wife was 'unimpressed' by his musical talents
Billy Joel's wife was "very unimpressed with the whole Billy Joel thing" when they first met. The 76-year-old star tried to woo Alexis, 43, with his musical talents during the early days of their romance, but she was completely unimpressed by his efforts. In the new HBO documentary series Billy Joel: And So It Goes, he explains: "I remember the first time I met Alexis, we went to my house, and I wanted to play the piano for her. It's a form of communication for me." Billy assumed that Alexis would be wowed by his award-winning talents. However, she was unmoved when he played the piano for her. Billy - who married Alexis in 2015 - said: "I'm playing that and she's completely unimpressed with it, totally. She couldn't care less what I'm playing and I'm thinking, 'Oh OK, this isn't working.' "She was very unimpressed with the whole Billy Joel thing, which impressed me. Because I thought, 'OK, maybe she's just here because she likes me, not the Billy Joel guy.'" The music star - who has daughters Della, nine, and Remy, seven, with Alexis - made a conscious effort to develop their relationship away from the spotlight. He explained: "We had a couple years together before we had kids and he had completely stopped doing shows. We travelled everywhere. We did a motorcycle trip from Maine down to Long Island, we were on boats 24/7. We were in Europe. We had so much fun." Meanwhile, Billy recently admitted that he was hesitant about committing to his HBO documentary. The music icon revealed that he was reluctant to reflect on some of the "stupid stuff" he's done in the past. He told People: "I've resisted this kind of thing for so long. I'm sick of talking about myself. Some of the stupid stuff I did, that's painful to talk about. (But) they asked me for some thematic guidance. I said, 'Just tell the truth.'" Billy initially just wanted to get the documentary "over with" because he doesn't enjoy talking about himself. The Uptown Girl hitmaker said: "My goal was to get it over with. "When I do interviews, people just ask you about yourself and you get a little self-conscious about it eventually. It's almost embarrassing. "When you're talking about your personal life detached from the material ... I suppose there's a little bit of wariness involved."

Travis Kelce is a great actor, says Adam Sandler
Adam Sandler thinks Travis Kelce is a "great, great actor". The 35-year-old NFL star makes a cameo appearance in Happy Gilmore 2, and Adam has admitted to being impressed by his co-star. He told Entertainment Weekly: "Travis is honestly, he came in, he hung out with us a couple days. He was just a great, great actor." Travis - who is dating pop star Taylor Swift - actually turned up on set the day after playing a game in the NFL. And Adam thinks Travis could become an acting "superstar" one day. The Hollywood star shared: "He's funny, just great personality. Just somebody that you'd want to hang out with all day long, and that he feels like he's your buddy. He feels like he will protect you. "He feels like he's going to be nice to your family. He's got everything. And as an actor, swear to God, he could be a superstar if he wanted to do that." Similarly, Christopher McDonald recently insisted that Travis is a "good actor". The 70-year-old film star appears alongside Travis in Happy Gilmore 2, and Christopher admitted to being impressed by Travis' acting skills. Speaking to People, Christopher shared: "Travis Kelce has been out there and I just really liked him as a person. He is really funny. Way too handsome, by the way, but really a good actor actually. Surprisingly good." The original Happy Gilmore movie told the story of a failed ice hockey player who turned to golf in an effort to raise money for his family. Christopher didn't actually get to play golf against Travis, but he's convinced the NFL star has "got game". The actor said: "He's a good athlete. He's a beast. I'm sure he kills the ball." Meanwhile, Travis recently rubbished suggestions that he could retire from the NFL, insisting he still has a lot to prove as a sportsman. The Kansas City Chiefs player told reporters: "It wasn't a very tough [decision] for me. "I know I'm getting older, but at the same time I still feel like I got a lot that I can prove in this league. It really wasn't that hard of a decision for me."

Dan Aykroyd watched Saturday Night Live special at home
Dan Aykroyd missed the Saturday Night Live 50th anniversary special because he wanted to watch the show from home. The 73-year-old star was a notable absentee from the anniversary special, but Dan still watched the show and he remains a huge fan of Saturday Night Live. Dan - who starred on the long-running comedy show between 1975 and 1979 - told Entertainment Weekly: "I wanted to be at home and I wanted to watch the show beginning to end. "I knew if I was there, I'd be in a dressing room, I'd be working. I wanted to see it live. I'm a fan of the show today, and I watch it all the time. "I love these new players; I think they're just great. I just wanted to see and live nostalgically with my family in my own home, eating my own popcorn." Meanwhile, Molly Shannon recently tipped Kenan Thompson to replace Lorne Michaels on Saturday Night Live. The TV comedy show was created by Lorne, 80, in the mid-70s, and Molly thinks he's done a remarkable job with Saturday Night Live. Molly, 60 - who was a cast member on Saturday Night Live from 1995 until 2001 - told People: "It's his show, his vision. "There's no one who could replace him. It would not be the same show. He's just a one-of-a-kind genius. Brilliant. Smart." Despite this, Molly believes that Kenan - who has been a cast member on Saturday Night Live since 2003 - could potentially replace Lorne as the showrunner one day. She said: "I love this idea. He's the greatest — I adore Kenan. "[Kenan is] so talented. That's an excellent idea." Kenan is widely seen as a central part of the Saturday Night Live cast - but he previously played down his own importance to the show. He told NPR: "I'm tough with self-praise, I guess, but I am definitely an ensemble-minded individual. And if that echoes across, you know, in a way that people want to consider me as a glue, great, you know? "But I just try to go out there and do my job and, you know, give showcase to these brilliant writers and brilliant minds and all of our departments - makeup and hair and directors and this, that and the other. You know what I mean?"
