Sturgill Simpson will return to the Twin Cities this spring
He's not letting the better part of a decade slip by again. Simpson unveiled a a 2025 tour, dubbed "Who the F**k is Johnny Blue Skies?," on Thursday, and it'll bring him to The Armory in Minneapolis on May 6.
Simpson's tour is billed under his recently-adopted stage name, Johnny Blue Skies. It's the name under which he released his 2024 album Passage Du Desir. He even had "Johnny Blue Skies" listed as an opener for his 2024 tour.
The "Long White Line" singer will again perform solo on this tour, promising, "No openers. If you're on time, you're late."
Prior to last year's tour, Simpson hadn't performed live regularly for a few years. He had a tour canceled in 2020 due to the pandemic and then canceled a 2021 tour after hemorrhaging his vocal cords.
Now, the outspoken songwriter behind the heralded Metamodern Sounds in Country Music, among other records, is making up for lost time.
Tickets for the show at The Armory will be available through an artist presale on Feb. 19 at 10 a.m. Tickets go on sale to the public on Friday, Feb. 21 at noon.

Woman Asked by Yoga Teacher Whether She's Pregnant, Her Response Goes Viral
Based on facts, either observed and verified firsthand by the reporter, or reported and verified from knowledgeable sources. Newsweek AI is in beta. Translations may contain inaccuracies—please refer to the original content. A woman's calm yet powerful response after a yoga teacher mistakenly assumed she was pregnant has gone viral, sparking a broader discussion around body assumptions. Sarah Simpson (@sarahinyellow), 26, a professional body image coach from Cape Cod, Massachusetts, was attending a yoga class with a friend when the instructor approached them. After greeting her friend, the teacher turned to Simpson and asked, "And you, how far along in the pregnancy are you?" "I froze for a second. Then I calmly said, 'I'm not pregnant.' Her face dropped. She was mortified and immediately started apologizing and explaining herself," Simpson told Newsweek. The incident, shared on Instagram quickly resonated, drawing over 2.1 million views and thousands of comments. Simpson said she had been excited to attend the class on her friend's recommendation. She wore one of her favorite bright pink workout sets, which she described as comfortable and confidence-boosting. But the unexpected comment shook her. She stayed for the class, but spent most of it distracted, thinking not about her body, but about the assumptions placed upon it. Though she wasn't emotionally wounded—thanks to the inner work she's done—Simpson said she was still frustrated. The teacher, Simpson said, was more visibly upset than she was. She apologized repeatedly and eventually asked if she could give Simpson a hug. Simpson agreed at the time but later wished she had declined and walked out instead. She wore the same outfit again days later, refusing to let shame attach itself to something she loved. A split image showing Sarah Simpson explaining what unfolded in her yoga class.

But it reminds me why this work matters," she said. "These moments aren't just awkward—they're proof of how deeply ingrained body standards still are." Simpson has personal experience with these pressures. She said she was put on her first diet at age eight, after a family member said she was "getting too big." Bullied throughout school for her body, she turned to perfectionism, believing that if she were thin, she'd be accepted. By college, she was restricting food, over-exercising, and taking diet pills. "I hit my goal weight—and still hated myself," she said. That realization marked a turning point. She began intuitive eating, went to therapy, journaled, and began unlearning the belief that her worth was tied to her appearance. Eventually, she became a certified coach and now helps other women through similar journeys. Today, Simpson lives in a body that doesn't conform to traditional beauty standards but is healthy and cared for. She no longer weighs herself and doesn't share her weight—not out of shame, but because "it's simply not important." She hopes her experience reminds others that the problem isn't their bodies, but society's ingrained biases. "You don't need to shrink, explain, or justify your existence. Someone else's ignorance doesn't get to decide how you feel about yourself," she said. Dr. Uma Darji, a family medicine physician and mom of two, echoed the deeper harm such comments can cause with Newsweek. She said the yoga teacher's assumption, while likely unintentional, reflects a widespread belief that flat stomachs are the norm—and that any deviation must have a reason. "For most women, the midsection is a source of self-consciousness due to societal pressures, postpartum changes, or personal history," Darji explained. "Comments like these further the harmful message that our bodies are always being evaluated." Darji said such incidents discourage many people from participating in activities like group fitness classes out of fear of being judged. "This isn't about your body—it's about someone else's biases," she said. "Moments like these remind us how far we have to go." Simpson's video drew a wave of support on Instagram. Many users shared similar stories and praised her for handling the situation with grace and for using it as a teaching moment. "I'm trying to learn to say 'I accept your apology' rather than 'it's okay,' because it's actually not okay," one user commented. "We're all human and we all make mistakes, but it's not okay to assume or make comments about someone's body." Dr. Aditi Nerurkar wrote, "In awe of your self-compassion after that uncalled for comment. So many of us would've spiraled. I hope you feel SO proud." Others pointed out how widespread these assumptions are. "I worked IN A MATERNITY STORE and I knew not to ask that," one follower shared. "Some people are shopping for gifts, some are postpartum. Don't guess by people's bodies what their situation is." Asked about the apparent resurgence of "skinny culture," Simpson called it "heartbreaking, but not surprising." She believes the media and wellness industries thrive on insecurity, and that the current shift reflects fears around aging, visibility, and taking up space. "We have to unlearn the belief that we have to look a certain way to be happy or worthy," she said. "Because the truth is, we never did."

How ‘The Naked Gun' reboot mocks former star O.J. Simpson
The gloves are off. The new 'Naked Gun' reboot, which opens in theaters Friday, doesn't shy away from the franchise's most controversial cast member: O.J. Simpson. For three movies of the 1980s and '90s police spoof series, Simpson, who died in 2024 at age 76, played Officer Nordberg. The fourth flick, starring Liam Neeson and Pamela Anderson, acknowledges — and mocks — Simpson's 'Naked Gun' history. 3 O.J. Simpson starred in three 'Naked Gun' films with Leslie Nielsen (center) during the 1980s and '90s. ©Paramount/Courtesy Everett Coll In an early scene, Neeson, who plays Lt. Frank Drebin, Jr., the son of Leslie Nielsen's 'Police Squad' character, emotionally speaks to a photo of Nielsen hanging on the station's wall. 'Hi, Dad,' the 'Taken' star begins. Then the camera pans out to reveal a long line of other officers opening up to pictures of their own fathers — including Simpson's Nordberg. 'Hi, pops,' says actor Moses Jones as Nordberg, Jr. to Simpson's mug. After a beat, Jones comically looks directly into the camera, shakes his head back and forth and makes a 'nuh-uh' noise. 3 Liam Neeson plays Lieutenant Frank Drebin, Jr. AP Better known as a football player who played nine seasons with the Buffalo Bills, Simpson also had a modest acting career. He appeared in 'The Towering Inferno' with Paul Newman and Steve McQueen and on an episode of the miniseries 'Roots,' among other titles. But his biggest part was as Nordberg in the 'Naked Gun' trilogy. In fact, his last outing on the big screen, 'Naked Gun 33 1/3: The Final Insult,' hit theaters just three months before he was accused of killing ex-wife Nicole Brown Simpson and her friend Ron Goldman in Los Angeles, California. Simpson was acquitted in criminal court in 1995, but was found liable for their deaths during a civil trial in 1997. 3 Simpson attended the premiere of 'Naked Gun 33 1/2: The Final Insult' with ex-wife Nicole Brown Simpson. Getty Images He would notch one more acting credit — filmed before the murders and ensuing trial — in Disney's TV series 'Adventures in Wonderland.' However, Simpson's episode, called 'White Rabbits Can't Jump,' was pulled from the air. And it is the sole 'Wonderland' chapter that's not available on Disney+. Simpson died of prostate cancer in 2004 while he was living in Las Vegas, Nevada.
