Chappell Roan Lets Down Her Hair for Rapunzel-Coded Video Shoot in New York City: See Photos
Chappell Roan is going from Midwest Princess to Princess Rapunzel. As captured in photos and videos snapped on the streets of New York City this week, the pop star — who headlined Primavera Sound in Barcelona last month — is currently working on a mystery video project in which she'll appear with yards of extra hair. In pictures taken Monday, she filmed scenes while standing on a fire escape, draping her super-long red tresses over the railing to the ground below.

It's unclear what exactly the Missouri native is working on, but fans online are convinced that it's a music video for 'The Subway,' an unreleased song that Roan debuted more than a year ago at 2024's Gov Ball festival. She has since played it a number of times at her live performances. The singer last dropped music in March, with the country-tinged single 'The Giver' debuting at No. 5 on the Billboard Hot 100. It marked her first release since skyrocketing to fame (and a best new artist Grammy win) with breakthrough single 'Good Luck, Babe!,' which followed her 2023 debut LP The Rise and Fall of a Midwest Princess.

Fall Out Boy's Joe Trohman Steps Away From Touring for Hand Surgery
Fall Out Boy guitarist Joe Trohman has announced he will step away from the band for the remainder of 2025 as he undergoes surgery on his right hand to avoid permanent damage. In a statement shared on social media Monday (July 7), Trohman explained his decision to take medical leave after years of managing ongoing issues. More from Billboard Jessie J Shares Update on Cancer Battle: 'Happy Tears Are Real' 'Park Waves Is Coming': Parkway Drive Tease New Australian Festival Billy Corgan Reflects on 'Beautiful and Bittersweet' Final Black Sabbath Show 'Hey everyone, after years of managing ongoing issues with my right hand, it's become clear that I need surgery to avoid permanent damage,' he wrote. 'Unfortunately, this means I'll have to take the rest of the year off from playing with the band. The silver lining is that I'm on track for a full recovery.' Trohman assured fans the band's scheduled tour dates will continue as planned. 'I'm looking forward to recovering so that I can get back out there with the guys. Thanks so much for the love and support.' This marks the second time Trohman has temporarily stepped away from Fall Out Boy in recent years. Back in January 2023, he took an indefinite break to focus on his mental health, telling fans at the time: 'Neil Young once howled that it's better to burn out than to fade away. But I can tell you unequivocally that burning out is dreadful. To avoid fading away and never returning, I'm putting myself and my mental health first.' Trohman returned to the band in May 2023 after several months of recovery. Fall Out Boy has yet to confirm who will fill in on guitar during Trohman's absence. Their packed schedule includes upcoming performances at Cowboys Music Festival in Calgary (July 8), Minnesota Yacht Club festival in St. Paul (July 19), Summer Sonic in Japan (Aug. 16-17), and three shows in Brazil later that month. Fall Out Boy will wrap up summer festival season at Oceans Calling Festival in Ocean City, Md., on Sept. 28. Trohman, a founding member of the band since its inception in 2001, is expected to make a full recovery and return to touring in 2026.

Jessie J Shares Update on Cancer Battle: ‘Happy Tears Are Real'
Jessie J has shared an uplifting update on her cancer journey, revealing her latest test results show no evidence of cancer spread. The British pop star, who first announced her diagnosis in June, took to Instagram with a heartfelt video of her son that was recorded the night before her surgery. In the caption, she told fans: 'AND. I AM OK. Results = I have NO cancer spread. Happy tears are real. Thank YOU for the prayers, the love, the well wishes, the joy and all the positive energy.' More from Billboard 'Park Waves Is Coming': Parkway Drive Tease New Australian Festival Fall Out Boy's Joe Trohman Steps Away From Touring for Hand Surgery Billy Corgan Reflects on 'Beautiful and Bittersweet' Final Black Sabbath Show The 'Price Tag' singer also reflected on the emotional weight of her journey so far. 'This video is from the night before my surgery. We called it baby boy. You are my biggest ray of light and with you in my life, the darkness will never win,' she wrote, referencing her young son. Jessie underwent her initial surgery on June 23, sharing updates from the hospital as she recovered. While she previously told fans her cancer was 'all gone' post-operation, she later clarified that she was awaiting test results to confirm. 'Lots of healing to go and one more surgery to make these cousins look more like sisters, but for now it's gratitude time,' she added in her latest post. 'I am changing my name to The LopJess monster.' The Grammy nominee spoke about her diagnosis onstage last month, telling a crowd of 75,000 at Wembley Stadium: 'Today, this show is my last show before I go to beat breast cancer! It's so special to me, you have no idea. I'm so grateful for this life, for you guys, for my career, for my son, my partner, my parents, my band, my crew. We have so much to live for.' Jessie J has been candid about her health struggles in recent years. In 2020, she revealed a diagnosis of Ménière's disease, followed by a miscarriage in 2021, and in 2024 she publicly discussed living with OCD and ADHD.

Lorde Says Her Eating Disorder Blocked ‘All of My Artistry' & Fueled Fears She Would Never Make Music Again
At the end of June, Lorde returned after four years with Virgin, an LP full of some of the most intense, vulnerable songs she's ever written. But not too long ago, she worried she'd never be able to make music again. In an interview with BBC Radio 1 posted Tuesday (July 8), the pop star shared how her creative abilities were previously stifled by an unrelenting eating disorder — something she's been open about overcoming throughout the Virgin rollout process. According to Lorde, her mind was once so consumed with being thin, she didn't have any capacity left over for writing songs. More from Billboard What Does Lorde's 'Virgin' First-Week Performance Say About the Album's Ultimate Legacy? Jessie J Shares Update on Cancer Battle: 'Happy Tears Are Real' 'Park Waves Is Coming': Parkway Drive Tease New Australian Festival 'At the beginning of 2023, I was just, like, not in a great way on a lot of levels,' she told host Jack Saunders. 'I never felt more disconnected from my creativity. I hadn't had an idea in a long time.' 'This was a period where all I was thinking about was trying to weigh as little as possible, and going to sleep thinking about food, and waking up thinking about food and exercise,' she continued. 'That was my creative pursuit; that's where it was all going. At the time I was like, 'I need to stop doing this, because it's blocking all of my artistry.' Once that went away, it all started coming back.' After taking time to focus on her well-being, Lorde was finally able to get back in the studio and produce Virgin, which dropped June 27 and debuts this week at No. 2 on the Billboard 200. On one of the album's songs, 'Broken Glass,' she dives into her struggles with body image, singing, 'I spent my summer getting lost in math/ Making weight took all I had.' The track has already become a notable fan favorite on the LP. But one song listeners have been loving in particular is album-closer 'David,' which Lorde told Saunders she named in part after Michelangelo's famous statue of the same name. 'I also thought a lot about David and Goliath and this story of power,' she explained. 'Part of making this album was definitely coming to terms with the fact that there have been a lot of power dynamics in my life, and they're not romantic most of the time. I've been working for a long time, and I've looked up at some man over and over and over. And I was just like, 'You know what? I'm just going to let it rip here and say it all.'' The Grammy winner was previously in a relationship with music executive Justin Warren, who is about 17 years her senior and works for Universal Music Group, the parent company of Lorde's label, Republic Records. After about eight years together, Lorde revealed in a 2023 letter to fans that she was 'living with heartbreak again.' On 'David,' she sings to an ex-partner, 'I made you God 'cause it was all/ That I knew how to do/ But I don't belong to anyone.' And on BBC Radio 1, she added of the song, 'It just felt like a really important bit of just being super real that needed to happen for me. I was like, 'When I say this, then I'm free.''
