Black Eyed Peas coming to Minnesota for just second time in over a decade
For the first time in quite a while, the Black Eyed Peas are coming to Minnesota.
The pop-rap group behind a string of major hits in the '00s has announced plans to headline the Grand Casino Hinckley Amphitheater on Sept. 4.
The "I Gotta Feeling" pop radio mainstays, who have performed without Fergie since she departed in 2018, will be making their first appearance in Minnesota since the 2021 Jingle Ball at Xcel Energy Center, which also featured Pitbull, Lil Nas X, Saweetie, and Tate McRae.
Prior to that, they'd last headlined a Twin Cities show back in 2010 during the E.N.D. World Tour, which stopped at Xcel Energy Center with Ludacris and LMFAO in tow.
The quartet, which now includes Will.i.am, Apple de Ap, Taboo, and J. Rey Soul, was scheduled for a Las Vegas residency this year. However, that run of shows — which was to feature a new A.I. "presence" named Vida — was canceled due to "current circumstances," which were not detailed.
Tickets go on sale at 10 a.m. on Friday, June 13. A presale for Grand Rewards members gets going at 10 a.m. on Wednesday, June 11, with ticket prices ranging from $64 to $95.This story was originally reported by Bring Me The News on Jun 11, 2025, where it first appeared.

Lyme disease symptoms and facts to know after Justin Timberlake shares diagnosis
As Justin Timberlake's recent world tour comes to a close, the pop singer revealed he has been battling more than just unsavory headlines. The pop singer, 44, revealed Thursday, July 31, that he was diagnosed with Lyme disease earlier in the year after facing criticism over several cancelled tour dates in a two-year period. Timberlake was forced to cancel several shows during his Forget Tomorrow World Tour between March 2024 and July 2025 for various reasons, including the last U.S. show in Columbus, Ohio on Feb. 27 after a bout of the flu. "If you've experienced this disease or know someone who has — then you're aware: living with this can be relentlessly debilitating, both mentally and physically," he wrote in an Instagram post reflecting on the end of the tour. "When I first got the diagnosis I was shocked for sure. But, at least I could understand why I would be onstage and in a massive amount of nerve pain or, just feeling crazy fatigue or sickness." Timberlake said the discovery of the disease forced him to make a decision regarding the tour, but he "decided the joy that performing brings me far outweighs the fleeting stress my body was feeling." The Forget Tomorrow World Tour ended July 30 in Istanbul after an international festival tour run. It was Timberlake's fastest selling tour to date and required several added shows due to demand. Back in 2024, the pop singer was worried about the tour's performance when he was arrested in Sag Harbor on Long Island for driving under the influence. He is quoted as being worried his arrest would "ruin the tour." Timberlake's worries may have been for nothing, as by the end of its run, the tour has amassed amassed over $140 million, according to Complex. Regarding his diagnosis, Timberlake said he was proud to have pushed through the struggles of the Lyme disease. "Not only did I prove my mental tenacity to myself but, I now have so many special moments with all of you that I will never forget," he said in the Instagram post. "Sharing all of this with the hope that we can all find a way to be more connected. I'd like to do my part to help others experiencing this disease too." Other celebrities who have publicly shared their battle with Lyme disease include Avril Lavigne, Justin Bieber and Amy Schumer, among others. What to know Ticks in Hudson Valley: How many kinds are there? How to stay away from them What is Lyme disease? According to Mayo Clinic, Lyme disease is "an illness caused by borrelia bacteria, usually transmitted to humans from the bite of an infected tick." Ticks that carry the bacteria are found all across the United States, but are most commonly found in grassy or heavily wooded areas of the Northeast, Mid-Atlantic and Upper Midwest states, as well as in Europe and Canada. New York reportedly had 22,173 cases of Lyme disease in 2023, according to the latest data available from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. NY is considered to have a "high incidence rate," with Lyme being the most commonly-reported tick-borne illness. Mayo Clinic says a tick bite will look like "a tiny, itchy bump on your skin, much like a mosquito bite." Most people don't even know they've been bitten by a tick, much less an infected one, until symptoms start to develop. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention says that Lyme disease infections have risen annually since 1995. Thirty years ago, 12,000 Americans were diagnosed with the disease annually. In 2022, that number rose to 63,000 reported infections a year. Since the disease is rarely detectable until several days after a bite, the CDC says it believes annual infection numbers are closer to nearly 476,000 a year. What do early Lyme disease symptoms look like? The Food and Drug Administration says Lyme disease is rarely fatal, but can cause chronic complications for the remainder of a person's life. Mayo Clinic says early symptoms of Lyme disease will occur between three to 30 days after the tick bite. The first stage of symptoms will appear as the bite develops a circular rash, also called a "bull's eye rash", around the point of contact. Other symptoms in stage 1 include fever, headache, extreme tiredness, joint stiffness and muscle pain, which Timberlake said he experienced while on tour. If untreated by stage 1, stage 2 symptoms can worsen by three to 10 weeks after the tick bite. These symptoms include widespread rashes on the body, continued neck pain and muscle weakness, as well as irregular heartbeat and immune system activity. Some people may experience swollen tissues of the eye or eyelid and possible vision loss. In the third stage of the disease, also known as "late disseminated disease," people can begin to experience arthritis conditions in large joints like the knees and prolonged pain, swelling and stiffness throughout the body. How to prevent Lyme disease The best way to avoid Lyme disease is to avoid contact with ticks, according to the Mayo Clinic. "Most ticks attach themselves to your lower legs and feet as you walk or work in grassy, wooded areas or overgrown fields," the medical research center said. "After a tick attaches to your body, it often crawls upward to find a spot to burrow into your skin." The clinic provides the following tips to prevent tick bites outdoors: Use tick repellents: Mayo Clinic recommends spraying outdoor clothing, shoes, tents and other outdoor gear with a repellent that has 0.5% permethrin. Use an insect repellent registered as skin-safe by the EPA, except on your face. Do not use products with OLE or PMD on children under the age of 3. Dress for protection: Wear long, light-colored clothing that makes it easy to spot ticks. Avoid open-toed shoes or sandals. Additionally, tuck in shirts into pants and pant legs into socks when hiking or other outdoor activity. Check for ticks when you return indoors: Shower as soon as possible to wash off any loose ticks. Check your body thoroughly for ticks that may have burrowed in the skin. Pay attention to underarms, hair, ears, between your legs, behind your knees and inside your bellybutton. Check your gear: Before you wash your outdoor clothes, put them in the dryer on hot for at least 10 minutes to kill ticks. Do a daily inspection for ticks on any pet that spends prolonged time outside. Stay on clear paths as much as possible when in wooded or grassy areas. If you suspect you have symptoms of Lyme disease, Mayo Clinic recommends seeing a medical professional as soon as possible.

Guitarist Silas Luke Jones Receives Standing Ovation From ‘AGT' Judges For ‘Misirlou' Cover
19-year-old guitarist Silas Luke Jones has received a standing ovation from the America's Got Talent judges for his arresting cover of 'Misirlou.' Appearing on the Tuesday night (July 29) episode, Jones appeared as a somewhat shy performer from Homer, Alaska before he showed the judges just what he was made of. More from Billboard mgk, T-Pain & Zedd to Headline Stage Outside Sphere Over Formula 1 Las Vegas Grand Prix 2025 Weekend Nick Cave Honored With Prestigious French Awards Paul Mario Day, Original Iron Maiden Vocalist, Dies at 69 Armed with an acoustic guitar and an extensive pedalboard, Jones had the audience on his side from the opening notes of 'Misirlou,' giving a small preview of what was to come by use of an EBow. Traditionally known as a Mediterranean folk song, the best-known version of 'Misirlou' comes from Dick Dale, whose 1962 surf-rock recording became a minor hit upon its release, and was later utilized in the opening credits to Quentin Tarantino's 1994 film, Pulp Fiction. Dale's recording was later heavily incorporated in the Black Eyed Peas' 2006 single, 'Pump It.' Jones, however, left the surf-rock stylings behind and instead delivered a solo rendition that relied heavily on open tunings and percussive techniques – winning the crowd over in the process and receiving high praise and a standing ovation from the judges. 'You became a rock star in front of our eyes,' noted Sofia Vergara, before Howie Mandel suggested Jones was 'like an Alaskan techno [Jimi] Hendrix.' 'If I turned away and I listened to what you were doing, I would've thought that was like five or six people on stage,' offered Mel B. 'You're one of a kind. You really are.' 'You're a very nice guy. Very humble, and then you just turn into that,' continued Simon Cowell. 'Actually, the guitar is not an easy instrument to do that with. 'What you did with that was extraordinary. You have a really real special talent here.' Jones ultimately walked away from his performance with four positive responses from the judges, and a promise that viewers haven't yet seen the last of him. America's Got Talent airs on NBC at 8 p.m. Tuesdays and streams on Peacock the next day. View Silas Luke Jones' performance of 'Misirlou' below.

Josh Hutcherson Is Pretty Obsessed With Dogs And Hopes You'll Adopt One
When Josh Hutcherson was 18, he fell in love with a pit bull puppy named Driver. The actor adopted the pittie from the nonprofit Angel City Pit Bulls and within a year, started acting in the first 'Hunger Games' movie. Driver, now 13, has been a constant companion as Hutcherson's career exploded. 'It's crazy going through so much of life together,' Hutcherson, 32, said. 'Since the day I met Driver, he was just the most happy, open, joyful, deep soul of a dog. He's just the absolute best. His eyes are just pools of knowledge that I'm trying to gleam something from.' Because Driver has always been friendly with other dogs, Hutcherson adopted another pittie named Manchi four years ago. Within a week the dogs were cuddling and became best friends. 'Somebody was fostering Manchi's whole litter because the litter got abandoned and they all had pneumonia and some didn't make it. I wanted to take them all, but I chose Manchi because he was the littlest runt and weirdest. I was like, 'This guy's got a good vibe,'' he said. 'Manchi is this very odd, kind of shy, but so sweet and loving boy. He has a 1,000-yard stare, which I absolutely love. Sometimes I'll just sit by the fireplace, and we'll just make eye contact and not look away for minutes on end.' Helping Clear The Shelters With his love of shelter dogs, Hutcherson felt it was a 'dream scenario' to partner with Hill's Pet Nutrition to visit adoptable pets yesterday at Pasadena Humane — the nonprofit shelter that took in over 1,500 pets displaced by January's Southern California wildfires — as part of NBCUniversal Local's Clear The Shelters campaign. Clear The Shelters aims to increase shelter adoptions and donations throughout August. 'The reason why I wanted to be a part of this campaign is there are so many amazing dogs and cats and critters at shelters all over the country that need homes,' he said. 'I know from my experience, I'm two for two and they're even better than I could ever have dreamt.' He loved meeting 'every single' dog and cat at Pasadena Humane. He bonded with a pit bull mix named Lula with 'ice blue eyes and great energy' and a possible Rottweiler mix named Finn. Big dogs linger longer than smaller dogs or cats in shelters — they stay nearly twice as long as they did in 2019 — and only 25% of people surveyed in the 2025 Hill's State of Shelter Pet Adoption Report said they will likely adopt a dog weighing over 55 pounds in the future. 'I think some people feel like if they don't have a big house, they can't have a big dog, and that's just oftentimes not the case,' he said. 'I know Great Danes, one of the largest breeds, don't actually need a lot of space. They're happy in small apartments.' His own big dogs get a walk every day but then are content lounging around and following him from room to room. 'They won't leave my side,' he said. 'I think big dogs are amazing. I've always had big dogs, from boxers to Labs to pit mixes, and every dog I've had has been 50-plus pounds and I just love them. There's something about their big bodies that when you're cuddling them, it's just this massive animal that you have this bond with that's so incredible.' Josh Hutcherson's Feline Connection Visiting Pasadena Humane also reminded Hutcherson of his love for cats. He grew up with cats named Paws, Walter Aloysuis Zimmerfloss the Third, and Jell-O. 'Jell-O was a big old girl,' he said with a grin. 'Her name was very appropriate.' At Pasadena Humane, he loved meeting kittens as well as a cat named Catnip with no boundaries. 'As soon as I held Catnip, she crawled up on my shoulder and perched on top of my shoulders. It was the cutest thing,' he said. 'It was great to reconnect with my feline side.' A History With Animals On And Off The Screen In addition to personal pets, Hutcherson enjoyed bonding with the canine actors on the set of 'Miracle Dogs,' his first movie, which he starred in as a 9-year-old. 'My entire life, every time I'm around dogs just makes me more in love with dogs. I've worked with dogs multiple times and they're so impressive. A trained movie dog is wildly impressive,' he said. 'My favorite things in the world: making movies and dogs. They should make more movies with adults and dogs, not just kids and dogs. I'm going to push for that genre.' Some of his favorite canine characters include Baxter in 'Anchorman' — 'That was a top-notch performance' — and the dog who starred in 'The Artist.' 'There are some great dog actors out there,' he said. Though Hutcherson believes his own dogs aren't cut out for the big screen, other shelter dogs are. Recently a shelter dog named Sparrow stole hearts with a cameo in 'Superman,' and Krypto the Superdog is based on the director's rescue dog, Ozu. As part of Clear The Shelters, potential adopters can search by ZIP code for nearby shelter pets at with filters for breed, size, gender and other preferences. People who aren't ready to permanently adopt a furry family member can consider fostering, volunteering or donating to help shelters nationwide, Hutcherson noted. 'If you can't adopt or you want to see how it feels, fostering is a great step,' he said. 'There's a lot of things you can do to be a part of the movement of giving some love to these animals.'
