A Tribute in Seattle

Heart honored Soundgarden’s recent Rock & Roll Hall of Fame induction with a special performance of “Black Hole Sun” during their Sunday night show. The tribute took place at Seattle’s Climate Pledge Arena, a fitting venue given both bands’ deep ties to the city. Heart also dedicated “Magic Man” to Michael Fisher, an important figure from their early years who passed away in August.

Fans at the show captured the moment on video, showing Heart’s emotional and respectful take on one of Soundgarden’s most well-known songs. The performance stood as a reminder of the long connection between the two Seattle groups.

Soundgarden’s Induction and Jim Carrey’s Role

The 2025 Rock & Roll Hall of Fame induction ceremony was held earlier this month in Los Angeles, where Soundgarden was honored by actor Jim Carrey. He first met the band in 1996 while hosting Saturday Night Live, insisting they appear as the musical guest.

“I stood right in front of them, letting the waves of electricity wash over me, like an audio baptism,” Carrey said during his speech. “They pushed me under and when I came up I was free.”

Following his remarks, Toni Cornell, daughter of the late Soundgarden frontman Chris Cornell, delivered a heartfelt performance of “Fell on Black Days.” Nancy Wilson of Heart accompanied her on guitar, creating one of the night’s most memorable moments.

The ceremony continued with an all-star group performance featuring Mike McCready of Pearl Jam, Jerry Cantrell of Alice in Chains, Brandi Carlile and others. Together, they played “Rusty Cage” and “Black Hole Sun,” honoring Soundgarden’s influence on the Seattle scene and the wider rock world.

Before the event, guitarist Kim Thayil reflected on what the recognition meant to the band and their hometown. “To have our peers, friends and creative collaborators from [Seattle] share that with us is very important,” he said. “It’s very important because it’s part of our identity. We’re not simply ‘rock guys’ in this band Soundgarden. We’re rock guys in this band Soundgarden that helped establish the Seattle scene and the sound. The geography is very important to our identity. It’s where we are, it’s where we came from. It’s who we are.”

“40,000 PEOPLE… AND ONE MOMENT THAT MADE ROME HOLD ITS BREATH.” Daniela stood in the middle of the square, watching the Vittoriano glow like it had been brushed with gold. She whispered, “I never imagined a night like this…” her voice barely steady. And when IL VOLO stepped out, the whole atmosphere shifted — the noise faded, and those three voices went straight to the heart. They weren’t singing to impress. They were singing like they were wrapping the entire city in their arms. Some wiped their tears. Others just stood still, clutching their coats as the emotion washed over them. Then came that unscripted moment — the trio holding hands, lifting them toward the sky… and Rome seemed to breathe slower. A night where music truly became a kind of miracle.

BRUCE SPRINGSTEEN JUST RELEASED A NEW SONG — AND “STREETS OF MINNEAPOLIS” CUTS DEEPER THAN ANYONE EXPECTED. With little warning, Bruce Springsteen has unveiled a stark new track titled Streets of Minneapolis, and it lands with the quiet force of a reckoning rather than a radio single. Stripped-down and heavy with atmosphere, the song walks through grief, unrest, and moral unease, letting the weight of the streets speak louder than any chorus ever could. Springsteen doesn’t shout or sermonize — he observes, reflects, and lets the silences do as much work as the lyrics, creating something that feels less like a release and more like a statement. It’s the kind of song that demands stillness, inviting listeners to sit with it rather than sing along, and once it ends, the echo lingers — proof that when Springsteen turns his attention to a place and a moment, he doesn’t just write about it… he leaves a mark.

HE DIDN’T ASK FOR ONE LAST ENCORE. HE ASKED FOR HIS SIX-STRING. In the final, quiet months of his life, the man who roared America’s proudest anthems didn’t ask for a final bow or the roar of a stadium. Toby Keith had just one heartbreakingly simple wish. He whispered to his family, “When I go… let me hold my guitar.” That weathered instrument wasn’t just wood and wire; it was his battle axe. It had traveled with him from dusty Oklahoma dive bars to the world’s biggest arenas, soaking up every drop of sweat and every story he ever told. When the moment came, his family honored him. They placed that old guitar gently in his resting hands, alongside a handwritten note of the song that defined a generation and a photo of him smiling under the stage lights. He left this world exactly as he lived in it—holding the music that made him who he was. He didn’t just sing for America; he was the heartbeat of it.
