Madonna dominated Sunday night’s (Sept. 27) 2026 MTV VMAs with a lavish, star-studded opening performance and a career-best seven awards. But the 68-year-old pop legend proved she was just getting started in a post-show TikTok in which she raged in a hotel room with pals Charli xcx and actress Julia Garner.

Fans Choose Madonna & Charli xcx’s ‘Danceteria Afterhours’ as This Week’s Favorite New Music
In the high-energy 21-second clip, the three women pose, kick and hair-flip with abandon to a remix of a song from the Queen of Pop’s Confessions II LP, “Danceteria Afterhours.” As a crew of friends sit on the floor and watch, Madonna, on all fours, flings her hair and rolls around on the bed as Charli — dressed in jeans and a black bra — flips the double bird to the camera, high kicks and follows Madonna’s lead in dancing like everyone is looking. Garner, wearing a white slip, poses and raises her arms in the air in triumph as she strikes some appropriately seductive, Madonna-esque poses just before Madonna crawls up to the camera and lets out a roar.
The big night started hours earlier with Madonna taking the stage for her first VMA performance in 23 years — and fifth time opening the show — following up her iconic 2003 double kiss with Britney Spears and Christina Aguilera with an all-star set featuring her new-school collaborators Sabrina Carpenter and Charli.
Perched on top of a piano played by Carpenter, the pair sang their Confessions II hit “Bring You Love,” after which Madonna danced across the stage and was lifted onto a moving platform as a gospel choir sang before moving into “Danceteria.” At that point, Charli popped out and they collaborated on the “Danceteria Afterhours” remix, which transitioned into the bathroom dance party from the Confessions II short film, featuring cameos from sombr, Garner, Seth Rogen and hip-hop legend Fab 5 Freddy.
Garner was slated to play Madonna in a biopic that appears to be on permanent pause, a situation that she reportedly revisits on upcoming season of Rogen’s Emmy-winning Apple+ series The Studio. According to a Variety report, Madonna will appear in two episodes of the upcoming second season of the Hollywood-skewering show in a storyline that makes reference to the star-crossed attempts to bring her life story to the big screen. The singer was photographed in Venice earlier this year along with Garner recreating the music video for the pop star’s 1984 Billboard Hot 100 No. 1 hit “Like a Virgin.”
By the end of the night, Madonna scooped up seven awards, the most of any artist on Sunday, bringing her career total to 26 VMAs in competition, which puts her just behind Taylor Swift (32) and Beyoncé (29) on the all-time leaderboard. Three of the seven were scooped up during the broadcast, including artist of the year, best dance (for her Confessions II short film) and best collaboration (with Carpenter on “Bring Your Love”).
Rod Stewart has been on the road for more than 60 years and now, at 81, it’s finally time to say goodbye to the road. The “Forever Young” singer announced plans to retire from mounting major tours in the future, while stressing that he’s not going away entirely.
“Ladies and gentlemen, after much deliberation and sadness, I have to announce that next year will be my last tour ever, ever,” Stewart said in an Instagram video posted early Monday morning (Sept. 28). “I’m not retiring, but this will be the last rock n’ roll tour. So I want to thank you for everything you’ve given me and hopefully I’ve given you something in return.”
Dressed in white pants and matching shirt and a gold brocade jacket, Stewart then leaned over to a piano and began pounding on one of the keys as he shout sang, “So please come out and see me on the tour! It’s gonna be great!” The caveat that it was his last “rock” tour might leave some wiggle room for Stewart to hit the road in the future to perform songs from his series of early 2000s American songbook albums of standards.
In a statement, Stewart elaborated, “My dear friends, the time has come to say farewell to life on the road. After more than six decades, The Final Encore will most definitely be my last. I’ve been singing the music I love since I was 19 years old, and I’ve had the privilege of taking it around the world to all of you. It has given me a life beyond anything I could ever have imagined, and I hope I’ve given you some fond memories in return.”
He continued, “So, may I take this opportunity to thank you for making this extraordinary life possible. I hope you’ll join me so I can thank you the best way I know how … with the music and one hell of a show. See you there.”
The European outing is slated to kick off on April 23, 2027 at 3Arena in Dublin, Ireland, and include stops in Belfast, Glasgow, Birmingham, Manchester and London before moving on to Amsterdam, Antwerp, Berlin, Düsseldorf, Copehagen, Helsinki, Rättvik (Sweden),Trondheim (Norway), Bergen (Norway), Budapest, Munich, Pula (Croatia), Prague and Kraków (Poland) before winding down on July 24 at ZAG Arena in Hannover, Germany.
Stewart was forced to cancel some dates on his One Last Time North American tour after a series of medical issues disrupted the outing. In June, he reportedly had to use an oxygen tank and pause his concert in Utah after nearly fainting on stage and doubling over in discomfort and then drew fire when he canceled a June 12 show in San Diego less than an hour before showtime due to a reported acute upper respiratory infection and was then spotted at the Scotland World Cup match in Boston.
Then, in August, he had to wave off two shows due to what was then described as an “unforeseen but minor medical procedure that required prompt attention.” He later revealed that he’d undergone a routine coronary stent procedure, after which a statement revealed, “Doctors are pleased with his recovery, and Rod is doing very well and has returned to his normal daily activities. On the advice of his doctors, he will take the next four weeks to recuperate and regain full fitness before returning to the stage. Unfortunately, this means he will be unable to continue his current tour dates.”
On Aug. 9, Stewart called off the remaining dates on his North American One Last Time farewell tour following the procedure. The cancellation impacted planned shows in Kansas City, Las Vegas, Minnesota, Illinois, Colorado and a run of gigs in Mexico.
Stewart has been touring for more than 60 years as both a solo act and as a member of British rock band the Faces, as well as the vocalist in the Jeff Beck Group. He’s been on the road with his One Last Time trek since 2024 and earlier this year he told British sports chat show talkSPORT that after next year’s shows he was planning to call it a day on major tours.
“Then I’m touring the U.K. next year, doing The O2, and that’ll probably be it, I think,” he said. “I’ll have to do something new, come on your show more often, maybe.”
KATSEYE made their Saturday Night Live debut on Saturday (Sept. 26), performing two songs from their latest EP Wild on the NBC sketch series.
The global girl group delivered “Animal” and “Hootie Frutti,” both from the five-track EP released in August. Four of the group’s six members performed, as Manon Bannerman and Sophia Laforteza are currently on hiatus; both stepped back citing their mental health. Wild also features the singles “Pinky Up,” “Bel Air” and “That Way.”
The appearance marked another mainstream U.S. television milestone for the group, following an August performance on The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon and a slot on the Today summer concert series.
The SNL debut caps a rapid ascent for KATSEYE, who formed just two years ago through the reality competition series Dream Academy — a joint venture between K-pop powerhouse HYBE and Universal Music Group’s Geffen Records designed to build a globally sourced girl group. The six-member lineup, drawn from across the U.S. and around the world, released their debut EP SIS (Soft Is Strong) in 2024 before breaking through in a major way the following year.
That breakthrough came with their 2025 second EP Beautiful Chaos, which debuted at No. 4 on the Billboard 200 — their first top 10 — and spent more than a year on the chart. Its lead single “Gnarly” became the group’s first Hot 100 entry, while the Latin-pop follow-up “Gabriela” climbed to No. 21, still their highest-charting single to date. The run earned KATSEYE nominations for Best New Artist and Best Pop Duo/Group Performance at the 68th annual Grammy Awards.
Wild pushed them to a new commercial peak. Released in August, the EP debuted at No. 1 on the Billboard 200 with 170,000 first-week units — the group’s first chart-topper and the biggest sales week for an all-female group in years. Its lead single “Animal,” co-written by Ed Sheeran, debuted at No. 24 on the Hot 100, a career high and the fifth consecutive solo single the group has sent onto the chart, following “Gnarly,” “Gabriela,” “Internet Girl” and “Pinky Up.” With more than 30 million monthly Spotify listeners at points this year, KATSEYE have become one of the most commercially successful girl groups in the world.
The group is currently on their 31-date Wildworld Tour, which opened in Europe earlier this month and heads to North America in October, beginning in Miami and working north into Canada before moving west and wrapping in Mexico City in late November.

Chuck Varga, a founding member of the costumed heavy metal band GWAR, has died following a battle with cancer. He was 68.
Varga’s death was announced Friday (Sept. 25) in a social media post by GWAR bassist Casey Orr, who performs as Beefcake the Mighty.

GWAR Singer Reacts to Alleged Outrage Over Onstage ‘Murder’ of Trump & Musk Dummies Amid 1st Amendment Crisis: ‘It’s Looney Tunes’
“He was one of a kind. As an artist, as a performer; as a scholar and a gentleman,” Orr wrote on Facebook, noting that Varga died peacefully alongside his wife, Bambi. “I’m better for having known him and the world is lesser for his leaving.”
Varga was best known for creating and portraying GWAR’s Sexecutioner character, beginning in 1985. He left the band in 1997 but continued to make occasional appearances with the group before retiring from performing in 2021, according to the band’s website.
In his tribute, Orr wrote that Varga is “most likely being welcomed into Valhalla right now” by the late GWAR members Dave Brockie, the band’s longtime frontman who performed as Oderus Urungus, and Cory Smoot, the guitarist who performed as Flattus Maximus.
“Raise your glass and tell his tales. Legends never die. Hail Varga! Hail Sexicutioner!” Orr concluded.
In June, GWAR launched a fundraiser to help Varga’s family cover the mounting costs of his medical care, including cancer treatments, hospice care, specialized medical equipment and additional nursing support.
Donors who contributed to the fundraiser received access to exclusive merchandise created for the campaign, including a new T-shirt designed by Varga.
Born in 1958, Varga studied at Virginia Commonwealth University before co-founding Slave Pit Studios in Richmond, Virginia, where he helped develop the art-driven project that became GWAR. A multidisciplinary artist, Varga created and portrayed Sexecutioner while also contributing costumes, sets, props and comic art to the band’s elaborate world. He left GWAR in 1997 but continued to make occasional appearances before retiring from performing in 2021.
“Chuck Varga’s contributions to the GWAR and Slave Pit collective are enormous,” Bob Gorman (aka Bonesnapper) wrote in a statement posted on the donation page. “The influence of his illustrations, character designs, performances, and artistic vision can still be felt throughout GWAR today.”
