The public was allowed to view the service—which was livestreamed—at St. David’s Square. Notably, Tyler had been living in Portugal before her death.

Bonnie Tyler’s death was very unexpected

Tyler’s death was very unexpected, and followed a short bout of serious health issues. On May 6, 2026, the singer underwent emergency surgery in Faro, Portugal. Doctors were treating her for a perforated intestine.

Ultimately, Tyler was placed in an induced coma and kept in the intensive care unit, per USA Today. Doctors attempted to bring her out of the coma, but she suffered a cardiac arrest. They were able to resuscitate her and get her stable. It was believed that she would make a full recovery.

On June 15, Tyler woke up from the medically induced coma, but was not doing well. Sadly, less than one month later, she died from complications of the illness.

Many of Bonnie Tyler’s celebrity friends have mourned her death

Following Tyler’s death, many of her celebrity friends shared public tributes. According to the BBC, artists such as Shakin’ Stevens and Bryan Adams memorialized the late singer, as did her longtime friend and family member, actress Catherine Zeta-Jones.

My heart is broken with the news that our dearest Bonnie Tyler has passed away,” Zeta-Jones wrote in a social media post. “Bonnie was married to my cousin and has been such a part of my life. We are photographed here together the night before my wedding. She sang and rocked it at my wedding.”

“An extraordinary woman with vocals to match,” Zeta-Jones continued. “A one of kind artist, who so easily could have been a comedian because she was one of the funniest people I ever met. Thank you, Bonnie, for the joy you brought so many.”

She finally added, “Sleep tight, beautiful lady. We shall forever ‘Keep A Welcome In The Hillsides’ of Wales for you. Sending my love to Robert and the family.”

Robbie Williams has opened up and revealed that he was diagnosed with autism.

Per a report from the Daily Mail, the 52-year-old singer shared the news during a Q&A at the Autumn/Winter launch of Hopeium at Flannels, his clothing brand.

“I have ADHD, and I just found out I have a bit of autism as well. Which I actually f**king love because it explains so much,” he said while speaking to the crowd. “It is my get-out-of-jail-free card now, and all the weird s**t that I do, I just say, ‘Sorry, I’m autistic.”

“With the ADHD, you can completely and utterly concentrate on something 1000%, but with absolutely everything else, you just cannot do it. Ask my kids,” Williams continued. “What I’m completely and utterly obsessed with is creating images and making funny things. If I’m creating images and funny things, I’m not thinking about me, because my brain is incredibly creative, and it can be creative about everything in the world that you panic or [get] scared about.”

The “Angels” singer added, “For example, this is how crazy I am: recently, I was sitting on a plane, and I thought, ‘What if I can have telekinesis and my intrusive thoughts tell the plane to crash itself?’ So that’s the kind of level of insanity that I’m dealing with. It’s best to train my brain to do something better than worrying about having supernatural powers and crashing a plane.”

Robbie williams has also been diagnosed with Tourette’s syndrome and ADHD

As he noted, this is not Williams’ first neurodivergent diagnosis. In 2025, he was diagnosed with ADHD, as well as Tourette’s syndrome.

“I’ve just realized that I have Tourette’s, but they don’t come out,” Williams revealed during an episode of the I’m ADHD! No You’re Not podcast. “They are intrusive thoughts that happen.”

“I was just walking down the road the other day, and I realized that these intrusive thoughts are inside Tourette’s,” he added. “Not only that, you would think that a stadium full of people professing their love to you would work [as a distraction], but whatever it is, inside me, cannot hear it. I cannot take it in.”

Coincidentally, Williams said at the time that he thought he had autism. However, he took an online test, and it indicated that he did not. “It turns out I’m not [autistic],” he said, “but I’ve got autistic traits. And it’s around social stuff; it’s about interaction.”

Axl Rose has revealed that he suffers from a health struggle that causes numbness and impacts his ability to sing.

On August 12, 2026, Guns N’ Roses was playing a show at New Jersey’s MetLife Stadium. During the three-hour-long set, Rose paused to introduce the band. Amidst the introductions—as reported by Billboard—Rose shared that he’d been suffering from a TMJ disorder and had recently had dental work done to try and help with it.

“So now this side of my mouth is still f**king numb, which makes it interesting,” he said with a laugh. “But this one [points to the left side of his face] had work done two days ago. So it’s interesting. It’s challenging.”

Axl Rose revealed that his doctors recommended ‘not to chew’ while recovering from dental work to treat TMJ

“You’re singing, and you hear sounds, and you’re like … none of the doctors, none of the dentists — there’s really no way to describe what you do, and with TMJ they tell ya, ‘Try not to chew!’ OK, I won’t eat,” he quipped. “Second, you really can’t describe — you stretch your face in so many ways trying to sing like I do!”

Rose then added, “So you hear all these sounds while you’re singing, and you hear sounds that, like, make you go, ‘I really probably shouldn’t be doing what I’m doing, because that sound sounds like my jaw’s gonna fall off or go to the side or get stuck that way. Which, that would be pretty funny!”

Your TMJ is part of your jaw, and it can be painful if the movement is negatively affected

Your TMJ, or temporomandibular (tem-puh-roe-man-DIB-u-lur) joint, connects your jawbone to your skull, and “acts like a sliding hinge,” according to the Mayo Clinic. “There is one joint on each side of the jaw. TMJ disorders—a type of temporomandibular disorder or TMD—can cause pain in the jaw joint and in the muscles that control jaw movement.”

“The exact cause of TMJ disorder is often hard to determine,” the Mayo Clinic adds. “The pain may be due to a mix of factors, including habits such as teeth clenching, gum chewing and nail biting.”

Finally, the Mayo Clinic notes that “most of the time, the pain and discomfort related to TMJ disorders lasts for only a limited time. Self-managed home care, physical therapy for the jaw, and the use of a mouth guard can be effective in treating symptoms of TMJ disorder.” The clinic also notes that surgery is usually a last resort and reserved for extreme cases.

Drake got hit with the goth girl allegations after his date with Pinkchyu. However, the Toronto rapper has receipts to prove he’s been down bad for them since his Degrassi days.

In early August 2026, Drake made a 20v1 stream appearance as part of Stake’s ninth anniversary celebration. During the event, Pinkchyu—a content creator and cosplayer—won the game show. As part of her winnings, Drake promised he’d buy her mom a new house.

At one point, Pinkchyu got Drake to bark for her, which led to a lot of chatter online. Some of the conjecture implied that this was Drake’s goth girl awakening, but that’s not true. In an X/Twitter post you can see below, Drake proved he’s long been aware of the goth baddies.

“This s**t not new,” Drake wrote on his Instagram story, alongside a screenshot of him on DFegrassi as a teenager, standing next to an actress who was all gothed out.

Interestingly, in a previous interview with Bobbi Althoff, Drake yet again proved his fascination for goth girls. “I don’t know if the world is ready to accept what I feel is my dream – what is my, like partner,” he said. “Because I feel like it’s some, like, tweaked-out goth, tatted all over.”

Look, you can say a lot of things about Drake, but you can’t say he’s lying about simping for goth girls.

Drake really is buying a house for Pinkchyu’s mom

As for that promise to buy Pinkchyu’s mom a house, the content creator told TMZ  he was dead serious. “I think she’s just really grateful,” she told the outlet. “I do [OnlyFans] and a lot of the money I have I do take care of my family, like, help my sisters. I’m half Mexican, so we’re all really, really close, and so obviously she’s like over the moon.”

Pinkchyu was also asked if she and Drake hooked up. “No, no, no. We just had a lot of conversations,” she said. The OF creator added that she and Drake are “complete opposites,” but that was “wonderfully kind.” His generosity made her “really happy,” she added.

Notably, adult film actress Lily Phillips—who also participated in the 20v1—echoed Pinkchyu’s sentiments. “I’ve never met a nicer celebrity. He is so down to earth, so goofy, so silly, so funny,” she told The Tab. “He is the same with everyone, whether you’ve got a million followers like me or you’ve got zilch.”

Marilyn Manson is headed back to court. The shock rocker will face a jury trial in November 2027 over a sexual assault allegation case that was previously thrown out.

The legal battle stems from a lawsuit brought by a former employee of Manson, Ashley Walters. In 2021, she accused Manson of several infractions that allegedly took place in 2010 and 2011.

In response to the new trial date ruling, Manson’s attorney, Howard King, said they were “confident the case will never get to trial after the court hears our upcoming motion for summary judgment,” per Metal Injection.

Manson has denied all the allegations against him

In her lawsuit, Walters accused Manson of sexual assault, sexual harassment, and sexual battery. She also alleged infliction of emotional distress and accused him of violating multiple California civil codes.

The case ended up being dismissed in May 2022. A judge ruled, at the time, that it exceeded the statute of limitations. The judge also found the lawsuit to contain “too few facts.” Over a year later, in December 2023, Walters and her lawyers filed a revised version of the lawsuit. In December 2025, two years later, the case was dismissed again, due to the statute of limitations.

One month later, in January 2026, Walters returned to court and refiled her lawsuit again, due to AB 250. This is a recently passed California law that creates legal space for her lawsuit. The law establishes an updated time frame for adult sexual abuse survivors to temporarily revive a case that could otherwise exceed the statute of limitations in California.

Manson’s petition to have this case dismissed was denied

Fast forward a few months—to June 2026—and a California judge denied Manson’s request to have the case dismissed. During that hearing, a member of Manson’s legal team, Alexa Foley, argued that Walters’s evidence did not “meet the standard of showing she was physically restrained during her alleged sexual assault.” This would mean that AB 250 could not apply to this particular case. The judge didn’t agree.

“This was not unexpected. It’s a clear invitation for a summary judgment motion,” King told Rolling Stone at the time. “The judge telegraphed explicitly that we’re not at the right stage of the case yet.” Walters’ lawyer, Bina Ahmad, had a different take. “We are obviously pleased,” she told the outlet. “We truly take the inspiration to keep fighting from our client. She’s the brave one.”

At this time, Manson’s attorneys do not appear to have commented on the new trial date.
