Beyoncé's unreleased music stolen from car at Cowboy Carter tour stop
The car – which was also looted of laptops and show plans – was being rented by the 43-year-old's choreographer and a dancer in Atlanta.
Beyoncé was about to begin her four-day stint of concerts in the US city when two suitcases were stolen from the SUV on Tuesday (July 8).
An Atlanta police report said the Jeep Wagoneer's back windows were smashed in (via CNN).
Two laptops, Apple headphones and luxury clothes were stolen, as well as hard drives that contained the unreleased music.
The stolen thumb drives also held footage plans and future set lists, the police report stated.
The theft was caught on CCTV and an arrest warrant has been issued for an unidentified suspect, police said.
In April the US superstar kicked off her Cowboy Carter world tour, which is scheduled to end on July 26 in Paradise, Nevada. Beyoncé is next heading to Las Vegas.
After recently struggling to sell out her six shows in London during the UK leg of her tour, the singer faced a 'mishap' during a performance in Houston, Texas.
Beyoncé was performing her song 16 Carriages on a car suspended above concertgoers at NRG Stadium when videos captured by those in the crowd showed the prop began to tilt mid-air.
The Lemonade hitmaker was seen sitting on top of the red convertible as it began to slant at a sharp angle in the air.

'Stop, stop, stop, stop, stop,' she said into the microphone as the music cut out. Some in the crowd also began screaming.
Remaining suspended in the air, she looked at the ground and up again before smiling at the crowd as they cheered.
The singer was wearing a harness and held onto one of the cables attached to the car as it tilted.
After a few seconds, she then told them 'thank y'all for your patience', before the car was lowered into the centre of the stadium. More Trending
After the show Beyoncé's production and management company, Parkwood, released a statement regarding the incident.
'Tonight, in Houston, at NRG Stadium, a technical mishap caused the flying car, a prop Beyoncé uses to circle the stadium and see her fans up close, to tilt,' they shared on Instagram.
'She was quickly lowered, and no one was injured. The show continued without incident.'
Metro contacted Beyoncé's team for comment.

Oasis fans embrace mod hairstyle at pop-up barber shop before Manchester show
Oasis enthusiasts had the unique chance to emulate the Gallagher brothers' iconic style at a pop-up barber shop aptly named 'Gallaghairs', coinciding with the band's highly anticipated gigs in Manchester. Set up within the Manchester Piccadilly Premier Inn, the temporary hair salon offered fans the opportunity to adopt the famous mod hairstyles of the Gallagher siblings before heading off to Heaton Park for the concert. A professional barber was on hand providing the feathered and shaggy look, complete with long sideburns and a straight fringe. Tracey Bishop, Premier Inn's regional manager for Greater Manchester, hosting a multitude of Oasis fans at their hotels nationwide throughout the summer, remarked: "From music tours to football tournaments, events always create a massive buzz in our hotels. Spirits are sky high in Manchester, and we are excited to be a part of it." Tracey continued, noting the telltale signs of Oasis followers: "The team are loving welcoming Oasis fans – the bucket hats are a bit of a giveaway at check-in," she said. "When you think of Oasis, first you think of the massive tunes, but from hats to parkas second on the list is always going to be their incredible style." She further added: "The hair is as much a part of that as anything, so while we can't make people rock 'n' roll stars – we can at least make them look like one and have a comfy bed waiting at the end of the gig." Levon Gill, the barber, shared his enthusiasm, saying: "It was so much fun giving these fans such an iconic look. The mod style is so synonymous with Manchester, it's great to see we are still keeping it alive. "In our shop we've seen a real resurgence of Oasis style haircuts. There have been a lot of tourists come in to get one, but they wait until they get to Manchester to make sure to get the real deal." The Gallagher siblings rose to fame during the '90s with anthems from their records, Definitely Maybe in 1994 and (What's the Story) Morning Glory? in 1995. Liam and Noel were as notorious for their sibling squabbles as they were for their tunes and eventually split up in 2009 after a massive bust-up post-Paris performance. Jump to 2024, and the pair revealed a reunion tour which was snapped up within minutes, leaving supporters worldwide desperately hunting for seats. Tracey continued: "Oasis aren't just a band - they're part of people's life stories. Their music and style defined a generation, sound tracked major moments and gave fans a voice when they needed it most. "These songs have always had the power to unite strangers, whether at a gig, a festival or singing in the street after a night out. "Bringing people together for something this iconic is electric, and we are so proud to be playing our part in it – it's more than a concert, it's a cultural moment that will never be forgotten."

EastEnders fan favourite declared ‘dead' in dark scenes
Oscar Branning (Pierre Moullier) has received a deathly warning from his associate Fat Mike (Tai Hilferink) in EastEnders. The newcomer made quite the impression on both viewers and characters when he arrived in Albert Square at the beginning of the week. Oscar was looking for somewhere to live, having just been released from a three-month stretch in a young offenders institute for joyriding. Sister Lauren Branning (Jacqueline Jossa) begrudgingly took him in, less than enthused by the fact that Oscar's associates tried to petrol bomb their mum Tanya's (Jo Joyner) house upon realising he'd tipped off the police about their actions. It was far from an ideal situation, given that social workers were still involved with Lauren in the wake of her drug addiction while pregnant with son Louie. After settling into his new abode, Oscar received a menacing text message from Mike, who was adamant to track him down. He grabbed a knife from the kitchen and closed the curtains, clearly terrified. In the aftermath, Oscar has caused mayhem on the streets of Walford, trying to scam Ian Beale (Adam Woodyatt) in the chippy, flirting with Lauren's fiancé Peter Beale (Thomas Law), and spending most of the day on the sofa gaming. Lauren and Peter became insistent that he earn his keep, and told him to work a few hours each day on the Bridge Street fruit and veg stall. To view this video please enable JavaScript, and consider upgrading to a web browser that supports HTML5 video Less than enthused by the idea, Oscar headed to the pub and got drunk with cousin Penny (Kitty Castledine) instead. While there, she made a bargain – if he was sloshed before she was, he'd have to get to work. And, of course, he lost the bet. In tonight's episode, he turned up for his first shift, blasting trance music and putting off the punters. Peter was furious, but Penny and Priya Nandra-Hart (Sophie Khan Levy) were more than happy to encourage him. Later, Lauren found her brother skiving at home, despite only being on a 10-minute break. He'd bought her kids some presents – Louie a lighter, and Jimmy a pair of sunglasses. Want to be the first to hear shocking EastEnders spoilers? Who's leaving Coronation Street?

She initially thought he was making a twisted joke about Jimmy's visual impairment, but then realised that Oscar had no idea. More Trending He seemed genuinely moved when she explained his diagnosis, and returned to the market to step up to the task. Then, at the end of the day, he bought a sensory toy for the youngster using his wages. As a heart-warmed Lauren and Peter believed they made a breakthrough, Oscar retired to his bedroom and spotted a number of menacing text messages from Mike. 'Gonna find you. You are dead. You can't hide.' Will Oscar be ok? If you've got a soap or TV story, video or pictures get in touch by emailing us soaps@ – we'd love to hear from you.
