A baseball game between the San Francisco Giants and the Cincinnati Reds in Cincinnati was delayed yesterday by a SWARM OF BEES. It was bad enough that the umpires pulled the players off the field, while professionals tried to break up the swarm. The delay lasted about 18 minutes. So why did these bees show up to a Reds game? Well this time of year some hives swell in number and create swarms that go in search of new homes. And maybe this swarm got a little lost after being attracted to all the sugary sweets at the game?

KEITH URBAN took an Uber to his show in West Palm Beach, Florida on Sunday. He was supposed to fly in but bad weather wouldn’t allow the plane to land so he ended up in Miami, about 75 miles away. So, he took an Uber, and his driver was not afraid to put the pedal to the metal. During the ride Keith downloaded an app that showed how fast they were going and it topped out at 103 mph. He was late, but at least he got there. When he hit the stage he told the crowd the story, and thanked the driver.

BRETT YOUNG’s voice gave out at the beginning of his show on Saturday in Sioux City, Iowa . . . and he had to leave the stage. He’s opening on KELSEA BALLERINI’s Miss Me More Tour. He posted an explanation on Instagram after leaving, saying, “As you can tell, the voice is even worse now, but sound check was good. The whole day was good, and the last 15 minutes before I walked onstage, the voice started getting – I don’t know – dry. I don’t know if it’s allergies, if I’m sick. It feels like laryngitis. But I’m so sorry. This is literally my least-favorite thing on the planet, to have to cancel a show. I love you guys so much and I’m gonna make this up. I’m gonna come back.” The tour picks up Thursday in Duluth, Minnesota and hopefully he’ll be ready to go by then.
