U.K.’s Guardian is reporting that Glastonbury Festival 2016 is planning some impressive tributes to the late David Bowie, Prince, and Lemmy Kilmeister.  Everything from a 50-piece orchestra to 3 epic sculptures placed throughout the festival grounds.  Lemmy’s sculpture is made up of spanner wrenches, aluminum ace of spades, a v-twist engine and a set of black ram’s horns.

Red Hot Chili Pepper’s recent Carpool Karaoke on the Late Late Show with James Corden went from a classic dance-off into saving the world … or at least a choking baby!  EPIC!  Kiedis performed “baby CPR” until the infant was revived and handed off to paramedics.

Meatloaf was rushed to hospital late Thursday night after collapsing on stage during an Edmonton concert.  He had cancelled two shows earlier in the week due to illness.
