When King Charles is crowned on May 6th, it’ll be only the second televised coronation in U.K. history, and the first to be streamed.  A 17th Century crown will be placed on his head, and he’ll be presented with some of the Crown Jewels. 

An episode of “Bluey” is getting trashed because Bluey’s parents weigh themselves and then realize they need to exercise more.  People are worried it may negatively affect children’s body image.

It’s about time for Kenny Chesney to release new music, right?  Maybe.  He was asked about it at the Tortuga Festival and he said things are coming along, but at their own pace. “It’s easy to rush it and it’s easy to put music out when people think it might be time, but I think I’ve earned the right to get it right.  I mean, I love it now, but I want to be in love.” He’s not the only one who has to love the music.  He relies on people he trusts for their opinions.  They tell him the truth, which is exactly how he likes it. “Lucky for me, I don’t have a lot of ‘yes’ people in my camp.  And that’s really important.  I have a lot of people within my circle, within my camp that have really good song sense.  I’ve been blessed that way.”

Luke Combs shared a clip of himself on Joe Rogan’s podcast, talking about how things have changed now that he’s famous. “I can’t tell you how many beers I shotgunned in college, and now I can shotgun a beer, and like 60,000 people are stoked about it.  I’m like, ‘That’s awesome, dude.’  I did seven or eight of these a night.  For years.”  That led to both of them shotgunning a cold one, and Luke put him to shame. One more thing.  Remember when Luke asked his fans to pick his next single?  It was between “5 Leaf Clover” and “Love You Anyway”.  He announced the winner during his show on Saturday in Nashville. He told the crowd, quote, “It was real close.  I think it was 51% to 49%.  So, it was neck and neck.  The song we’re about to play right now is the winner.”  And then he launched into “Love You Anyway”.

Darius Rucker’s 14th annual “Darius & Friends” concert benefiting St. Jude’s is happening on June 5th at the Ryman Auditorium.  The lineup will be announced soon.  Tickets start at $69.  Pre-sale begins tomorrow . . . with tickets for the general public going on sale this Friday.

Morgan Wallen just announced a partnership with Ryl Tea.  (Pronounced Real Tea.) “A good iced tea brings back very happy memories for me, so when I found Ryl Tea I knew I had something special that I wanted to share.”  The company launched in January but they’re expanding quickly.
