All the Bruno Mars songs on The Romantic Tour setlist

LAS VEGAS - It's been almost a decade sinceBruno Marswas on tour, as the "I Just Might" singer primarily situated himself in Las Vegas for his longstanding residency at Park MGM or jaunted overseas for a slate of shows between 2022 and 2024.

But on April 10, at the first of two sold-out shows at Allegiant Stadium in the city that justnamed a streetin his honor, Marsreturned in a massive waywith The Romantic Tour.

Mars' 2-hour-plus show supporting his recently released fourth studio album,"The Romantic,"tapped into every era of his 15-year career. Songs spanning his early days - "Just the Way You Are," "Marry You" - paired smoothly with current smash "I Just Might" and opener "Risk It All," while pal Anderson .Paak sauntered out for a groovy trio of Silk Sonic tunes.

As a performer, Mars, 40, was captivating as he danced in lockstep with his fun band, the Hooligans, and sweat through many a headband. Talk about an auspicious outing for his first-ever stadium run.

The demand for Mars to return to touring ‒ especially in North America ‒ was so strong that an additional 32 shows were announced following the quick sellouts of his originally planned 39-date stadium run.Tickets for all of the showssold so briskly that Marsset a recordfor the largest single-day ticket sales in Live Nation history across North America, Europe and the UK. He also achieved a Ticketmaster record for the most tickets sold in a single day ‒ 2. 1 million.

1964 Classic Rock Hit Ranked Among ‘The Greatest Songs of All Time’ Became a Career-Defining Anthem for the Kinks

In 1964, the Kinks released what would become their breakthrough hit with the song“You Really Got Me.”The single, from the English rock band’s self-titled 1964 album, peaked at No. 7 on theBillboard Hot 100on Nov. 28. 1964 and became an international hit, firmly establishing the band as one of the top British crossover acts of the 1960s.

Rolling Stoneranked “You Really Got Me” as one of the greatest songs of all time, describing theRay Davies-penned classic as a “deliberately raw rave-up” with an “immortal, blistering riff.”

"The song came out of a working-class environment," Kinks guitarist Dave Davies once told the outlet. "People fighting for something."

The song defined the Kinks

Early on, the Davies brothers knew they had a hit with “You Really Got Me.” Originally inspired by a female fan he spotted dancing at a club, Ray Davies proclaimed it to be his all-time greatest song.

"When I left the studio, I felt great. It may sound conceited, but I knew it was a great record," he once said of 'You Really Got Me," perUltimate Classic Rock. "I said I'd never write another song like it, and I haven't."

Dave Davies described the breakout Kinks hit as “such a pure record.” “It’s a love song for street kids,” he was quoted as saying in the book,You Really Got Me: The Story of the Kinks.“They’re not going to wine and dine you, even if they knew how to chat you up. ‘I want you—come ‘ere.”

The Kinks song was covered by Van Halen

In 1978, Van Halen released a cover version of “You Really Got Me” on their debut album. While the song was a radio hit, Dave Davies felt it missed the mark.

“When I first heard Van Halen’s version of ‘You Really Got Me,’ I laughed,” the Kinks legend toldGuitar Playerin an interview. “It just seemed so exaggerated. It really misses the point of the whole meaning of the song: four working-class guys, struggling to do something different. In the original record, you can sense that in its energy, the roughness. It’s very impure.”

Still, Davies acknowledged that the Kinks had a big influence on later bands.

“It’s always very flattering for people to copy you,” he said. “We’ve been copied more than a lot of people would care to admit. Ray’smusichas impressed upon and influenced a lot of people in many different ways.”

Israel's Ben-Gvir visits flashpoint Al-Aqsa Mosque compound

JERUSALEM, April 12 (Reuters) - Israel's far-right National Security Minister Itamar Ben-Gvir visited the flashpoint Al-Aqsa Mosque compound in Jerusalem on Sunday, saying ‌he was seeking greater access for Jewish worshippers and drawing condemnation ‌from Jordan.

The compound in Jerusalem's walled Old City is one of the most sensitive sites ​in the Middle East https://www.reuters.com/world/middle-east/where-is-al-aqsa-mosque-why-is-it-so-important-islam-2023-04-05/. Known to Jews as Temple Mount, it is the most sacred site in Judaism and is Islam's third-holiest site.

Under a delicate, decades-old arrangement with Muslim authorities, it is administered by a Jordanian religious foundation and ‌Jews can visit but ⁠may not pray there.

Suggestions that Israel would alter the rules have sparked outrage among Muslims and ignited violence in the ⁠past.

"Today, I feel like the owner here," Ben-Gvir said in a video filmed at the site and distributed by his office. "There is still more to do, more ​to improve. ​I keep pushing the Prime Minister (Benjamin ​Netanyahu) to do more and more — ‌we must keep rising higher and higher."

A statement from the Jordanian foreign ministry said it considered Ben-Gvir's visit to be a violation of the status quo agreement at the site and "a desecration of its sanctity, a condemnable escalation and an unacceptable provocation".

Ben-Gvir's spokesman said the minister was seeking greater access ‌and prayer permits for Jewish visitors. He also ​said that Ben-Gvir had prayed at the ​site.

There was no immediate comment ​from Netanyahu's office. Previous such visits and statements by Ben-Gvir ‌have prompted Netanyahu announcements saying that ​there is no change ​in Israel's policy of keeping the status quo.

Muslim, Christian and Jewish sites, including Al-Aqsa had been largely closed https://www.reutersconnect.com/item/al-aqsa-mosque-reopens-after-40-day-closure-by-israel/dGFnOnJldXRlcnMuY29tLDIwMjY6bmV3c21sX01UMUFOQURMMDAwT1hBQUxB to the public during ​the Iran war https://www.reuters.com/world/iran/. ‌There was no immediate sign of unrest on Sunday after Ben-Gvir's ​visit.

Heather Graham Recalls Being a 'Nerdy' Teen, Says Classmates Realized They Should've 'Paid Attention to Her' After First Movie

Heather Graham recently revealed how her high school classmates reacted after she landed a role in License to Drive at just 17 years old

NEED TO KNOW

• Now 56, the actress recalled being a “nerdy” teen despite playing a popular cheerleader in the comedy

• Graham later went on to star in Boogie Nights, Austin Powers: The Spy Who Shagged Me and more

From teen comedies to cult classics,Heather Grahamhas built a career defined by versatility and unexpected turns.

While many audiences remember her for standout performances inBoogie NightsandAustin Powers: The Spy Who Shagged Me, her journey began much earlier.

At just 17, she landed a key role inLicense to Drive, a coming-of-age comedy that introduced her to Hollywood. Reflecting on that moment decades later, Graham recently recalled how her high school classmates reacted after she was cast.

“[The movie] came out right as I was graduating,” Graham told Jesse Tyler Ferguson on hisDinner's On Me Podcaston April 7. “And I think people were like, 'Oh, maybe we should have like, paid attention to her.' ”

During their conversation, Graham opened up about her teenage years, describing a version of herself far removed from the confident characters she would later portray.

In 1988’sLicense to Drive, she played Mercedes Lane, the effortlessly cool love interest — an ironic contrast to how she saw herself at the time.

“I was nerdy…you know, I was smart and I was just like, nobody thought I was that pretty," Graham recalled. “So I got this job as like, the popular, pretty cheerleader, and I had very bad style and bad hair and makeup. Like I did not know how to like, you know, do that.”

That early role, however, set the stage for a career full of contrasts. InBoogie Nights, Graham took on the emotionally layered role of Rollergirl, a far cry from her teen comedy beginnings, while inAustin Powers, she leaned into comedy as Felicity Shagwell, a confident and playful spy. Each performance showcased a different side of her range.

More recently, Graham has stepped into darker territory withThey Will Kill You, a horror story centered on a hotel controlled by a satanic cult,alongside Zazie Beetz,Patricia Arquette,Tom FeltonandMyha'la.

In a March 2026interview with PEOPLE, the 56-year-old actress recalled being "nervous" before filming due to her role’s physically demanding nature.

“I trained every day. It was hard, you know? It was hard,” Graham said, though she ultimately described the experience as “really fun” in the end.

Asha Bhosle, one of India’s most versatile Bollywood singers, dies at 92

NEW DELHI (AP) — Asha Bhosle, one of India’s most versatile Bollywood singers whose performances shaped the country’s musical memory and modern cinema, has died. She was 92.

The legendary singer across genres died Sunday of multiple organ failure at Breach Candy Hospital in Mumbai, Pratit Samdani, a physician at the hospital said. Her son, Anand Bhosle, told reporters that her last rites will be performed on Monday.

Asha was admitted at the hospital on late Saturday with a chest infection and exhaustion, her granddaughter Zanai Bhosle said in a social media post.

Asha’s timeless voice resonated across a film-obsessed India for nearly eight decades, recorded on about 12,000 songs. She boldly embraced cabaret and Western-influenced melodies to forge a distinct musical identity that stood uniquely apart from her sister,Lata Mangeshkar, herself a legendary voice revered as the “Melody Queen.”

Asha’s death was widely condoled.

“I am deeply saddened” by her passing, Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi said in a social media post.

“Her unique musical journey spanning decades has enriched our cultural heritage and touched the hearts of countless people around the world,” Modi said. “From soulful melodies to spirited compositions, her voice carried a timeless brilliance.”

Born on Sept. 8, 1933, Asha Bhosle was initiated into music by her father Dinanath Mangeshkar, who was also a trained singer. All her four siblings became accomplished singers and musicians.

Asha's first marriage, in 1949, ended in separation in 1960. Her second marriage was to iconic music composer R.D. Burman in 1980. She is survived by a son and grandchildren.
