A baby was born during the PINK concert in Liverpool, England Tuesday. Denise Jones was three weeks from her due date when she went to the show, so she wasn’t really worried. But her daughter decided to make an early entrance during the FIRST SONG, “Get the Party Started”. Medics on-site had to help with the delivery. Denise says, “The plan was to call her Dolly Louise, it was changed it to Dolly PINK.”
DOG THE BOUNTY HUNTER’s wife BETH CHAPMAN passed away yesterday. 51 year old Beth was diagnosed with Stage 2 throat cancer in September of 2017, and had been battling it ever since. She was placed in a medically-induced coma this week, after being hospitalized due to a “choking emergency.” Once she was in the coma, word got out that she wasn’t expected to recover. Dog Tweeted, “It’s 5:32 [A.M.] in Hawaii. This is the time she would wake up to go hike Koko Head Mountain. Only today, she hiked the stairway to heaven. We all love you, Beth. See you on the other side.”
Max Wright, who played the father on the ’80s hit sitcom ALF, died Wednesday.
DIERKS BENTLEY had a mountain biking accident on Tuesday in Colorado and “broke a few bones” in his left hand. The good news is that he’s not going to miss any tour dates. He posted a video of himself on the front porch of a house in Colorado, and he’s playing guitar and singing “My Church” with his 10-year-old daughter Evie, who has a terrific voice by the way. You can see the cast on his left arm. When the song’s over he says, “What’s up y’all. I’m totally fine. I broke a few bones, but it’s just bones and they heal pretty easily . . . and I can do everything I want to do. I’m great and I can’t wait to get back out there on the road with y’all.” He also wrote in the post that he’s “Fired up for Wisconsin, Michigan, and New York this weekend.” That’s where he’s heading next on his 2019 Burning Man Tour.
If you do a Google photo search of TRAVIS DENNING, you’ll see one pic after another of him wearing a Bass Pro Shops hat. He said, “I think when I was about 18- or 19-years-old, a friend of mine left a Bass Pro Shops hat at my house. I wore it for a little bit. I just loved it. Mainly, it fit my head pretty well. I have a goofy-shaped head, thanks to my folks, but it fit well, and I thought it was just so timeless-looking and very cool and nobody else was really wearing ’em at the time. So, I just wore it all the time on stage.” There’s also a sentimental appeal. There’s a Bass Pro Shops in Macon, Georgia, which is 20 minutes away from where he grew up. “2015 at CMA Fest, I had a kid come up and he had a Bass Pro Shops hat that he bought and wanted me to sign, and that was when I thought, ‘Oh, maybe this is like a thing.’ I haven’t stopped wearing ’em since.”
