5 KNEE SURGERIES. MONTHS IN HOSPITAL. AND PHIL COLLINS STILL WON’T CLOSE THE DOOR ON A COMEBACK. Last year, Phil Collins told Mojo he wasn’t “hungry” for music anymore. The studio downstairs felt like a place he used to know. Fans accepted it. The chapter was closed. Then something shifted. In a new BBC interview, Collins revealed he has “unfinished fragments” of songs — lyrics, melodies, ideas he never completed. His last original album was 2002. That’s 24 years of silence. And now, the man with a 24-hour live-in nurse, who survived 5 knee surgeries and COVID while his kidneys were failing, quietly admitted he’s thinking about going back to the studio. But that wasn’t even the part that stunned everyone. When asked about performing live again, Collins didn’t say no. He said he’d “contemplate” it. He turned down an invite to perform at his own 2026 Rock Hall of Fame induction — his second — saying you need to be “match fit.” He also said something else. Something no one had heard him say in years: “I’m healthier now than I have been for quite a while.”

53 YEARS AFTER “MONEY” SHOOK THE WORLD, THE SAXOPHONE BEHIND IT HAS GONE SILENT FOREVER. Dick Parry — the man whose sax gave Pink Floyd its soul on The Dark Side of the Moon and Wish You Were Here — passed away on May 22 at 83. Most fans never knew his name. But everyone knew that sound. The haunting solo on “Shine On You Crazy Diamond.” The smoky warmth on “Us and Them.” The swagger on “Money.” That was all him. David Gilmour shared the news on Instagram, and his words hit hard. They first played together as teenagers in Cambridge. Since Gilmour was seventeen. Over 60 years of music, friendship, stages — gone in one morning. What Gilmour said about Parry’s tone was something no fan will forget easily. He also revealed which band and which tour marked the very last time they shared a stage together…

“FROM SELENA TO NOW, THIS JOURNEY HAS COME FULL CIRCLE.” — JENNIFER LOPEZ JUST REUNITED WITH HER ON-SCREEN FATHER AFTER 29 YEARS. In 1997, Edward James Olmos played Abraham Quintanilla — Selena’s fierce, protective father — in the biopic that turned Jennifer Lopez into a star. That $20 million movie made $60 million and earned Lopez $1 million, making her the highest-paid Latina actress at the time. Now, 29 years later, Olmos is back as her on-screen father again. This time he’s Captain Jack Cruz in Netflix’s Office Romance, a raunchy rom-com where Lopez plays a powerful airline CEO who falls for her company’s new lawyer, played by Ted Lasso’s Brett Goldstein. Lopez shared a throwback photo from the Selena set next to a new one with Olmos. Same warmth. Same look. But what she said about filming with him again after nearly three decades — that’s the part that hit different. Office Romance drops on Netflix June 5, 2026.

800 SOLDIERS. 6 MONTHS IN ESTONIA. BUT WHAT THE FEMALE TROOPS TOLD WILLIAM CHANGED THE ROOM. Prince William showed up at Bulford Camp in full camouflage and regimental beret — not as a royal, but as Colonel-in-Chief of the 1st Battalion The Mercian Regiment. He sat down with Captain Maria Bell, head of the Mercian Female Network, and a group of women serving across engineering, medicine, and administration. Only 40 women among 800 soldiers. What they shared about life inside the British Army wasn’t rehearsed — it was real. Bell told him the Army had made progress on its zero-tolerance policy, but called parts of the training still a “tick-box exercise.” William didn’t flinch. He listened. He asked what he could personally do to make things better. Then something shifted. He raised a new initiative — regular gatherings designed to connect servicewomen, especially those with no female presence in their chain of command. The women called it “welcomed.” Captain Bell later said quietly: “He was genuinely interested in what we were saying.” And somehow, that single line said everything about what happened inside that room.

“SHE TAUGHT HIM OVER 40 YEARS AGO. HER DYING WISH? JUST TO HUG HIS NECK ONE MORE TIME.” Ms. Etta taught at Laney High School in Wilmington, North Carolina for over four decades. On May 11, she entered end-of-life care at Lower Cape Fear LifeCare. And while reflecting on her career, one name kept coming back — Michael Jordan. Her wish was simple. She just wanted to “hug Michael’s neck one more time.” Staff tried reaching him. No luck. Then one afternoon, social worker Wendy’s phone rang — unknown number. The voice on the other end said just five words: “Is this Ms. Etta?” Wendy dropped everything. Drove straight to Ms. Etta. Set up a FaceTime call between a dying teacher and the greatest basketball player who ever lived. They laughed. They picked at each other. They reminisced about a classroom from 1981 — long before six rings, before billions, before the legend. Everyone in the room cried. But Ms. Etta? She just smiled.

135 YEARS AGO, A POPE DEFENDED WORKERS FROM THE INDUSTRIAL REVOLUTION. YESTERDAY, ANOTHER POPE STOOD UP — THIS TIME AGAINST AI. Pope Leo XIV just released “Magnifica Humanitas.” 42,000 words — the heaviest document of his papacy — dedicated to one question: what happens when machines start deciding for us? He compared unchecked AI to the Tower of Babel. Humanity building something massive out of pride, only to lose itself. He called for AI to be “disarmed,” removed from warfare, taken from the hands of a few tech elites who think they alone should shape humanity’s future. But here’s what nobody expected. Sitting beside him at the Vatican — Christopher Olah, co-founder of Anthropic, one of the biggest AI companies in the world. Olah admitted the questions AI raises are “bigger than the AI community itself.” Pope Leo signed this encyclical on May 15 — the exact same date Pope Leo XIII published Rerum Novarum 135 years ago, the document that changed how the Church spoke about workers’ rights forever. Same name. Same date. Different revolution.

HE SURVIVED CANCER ONCE. HE BURIED HIS WIFE. THEN THE DISEASE CAME BACK — AND CHOSE THE CRUELEST DAY POSSIBLE. Scott Hastings was the kind of player Scotland builds legends around. 65 caps. Two Lions tours. That tackle on Rory Underwood in the 1990 Grand Slam decider — the one that sealed a 13-7 win at Murrayfield and made an entire nation hold its breath. After rugby, he became a beloved broadcaster, a mental health advocate alongside his wife Jenny. Then September 2024 — Jenny was gone. Wardie Bay. Their wedding anniversary. Scott kept going back to that same bay. Every week. He’d beaten non-Hodgkin’s lymphoma before. But this time, complications took him on May 17th at Edinburgh’s Western General. He was 61. His children shared one detail that still haunts everyone — May 17th was Jenny’s birthday. “It speaks louder than words that he is safe and with his beloved Jenny.” What Scott carried in those final months… only those closest to him truly know.

10 YEARS, 6 KIDS, AND JOE SWASH JUST ADMITTED: “I’M NOT MANAGING WELL.” Joe Swash and Stacey Solomon looked like they had everything. Pickle Cottage. The BBC show. Six kids. The dream. But Joe recently confessed something that changed the whole picture — he stopped taking his ADHD medication a year ago. Then came a family trip where he lost his iPad on a plane, missed their flight, and watched everything unravel in four days. What most people still don’t know: their 2022 wedding was never legally registered. Almost four years later — still not official. Stacey disappeared from social media for a full month. When she came back, Joe was nowhere in her photos. She wasn’t wearing her ring. Then they showed up together at Britain’s Got Talent with all six children. Joe looked at Stacey the way someone looks at a person they’re afraid of losing. He says he’s restarting treatment. He says he wants to step up, grow, and fight for what they’ve built. But the thing nobody’s really talking about is what happened during that therapy session on their show — when Joe stood up and walked out.

“HE CHANGED HIS PROFILE PICTURE. NO WORDS. NO STATEMENT. JUST A PHOTO OF A SON HUGGING HIS DAD FOR THE LAST TIME.” No one knew those words would become a farewell. On May 21, Kyle Busch — 234 career NASCAR wins, two championships, 22 seasons of fire — was gone at 41. Severe pneumonia turned to sepsis. Days before, he was still racing. Still winning. Then silence. But the moment that shattered NASCAR wasn’t a press conference. It was an 11-year-old boy quietly changing his profile picture. Brexton updated his Instagram and Facebook photo on Friday — one day after losing his dad. The image: him hugging Kyle in Victory Lane at Echo Park Speedway back in February. Kyle had posted that same shot, writing, “Pumped that Brexton finally got to be here, I know this one means a LOT to him!” What no one realized then — that hug would become their last Victory Lane together. Three days before he died, Kyle celebrated Brexton’s 11th birthday: “Your mom & I are so proud of who you’re turning out to be!” Now Richard Childress Racing has suspended Kyle’s iconic No. 8 — holding it until the day Brexton is ready to carry it forward. 😢

PRINCE WILLIAM IS ABOUT TO BREAK A ROYAL SECURITY RULE THAT’S EXISTED FOR GENERATIONS — FOR A 12-YEAR-OLD BOY AND A FOOTBALL MATCH. Royal protocol is clear: the direct heir and his successor do NOT fly together. It protects the bloodline. Non-negotiable. But William might change that this summer. Sources say Prince George — a passionate football fan — could join his father in the U.S. for the 2026 FIFA World Cup. If it happens, it would be the FIRST time two future kings have traveled to America together. The first time the Wales children have ever touched American soil. But here’s what makes this bigger than football. The trip would follow King Charles’ April state visit and land right on America’s 250th birthday. Royal experts call it “soft diplomacy.” A father cheering on England with his son… with far more at stake behind closed doors. Kensington Palace says “no public plans.” But a Middleton family friend told royal author Christopher Andersen something different — the family is “over the moon.” 😶 William and George were spotted together at the FA Cup Final at Wembley just days ago. The way George watched that match… something tells me this story is far from over.
