#FASHIONFAB: Burberry Fall 2026 'A Good Sport' Campaign
The Burberry Fall 2026 ‘A Good Sport’ Campaign puts Mario Sorrenti [IG] behind the lens with Elliott Power on video. The focus is Burberry’s long association with sports culture, as World Cup soccer swings into action across Mexico, America and Canada.
The familiar face of Romeo Beckham — and his positioning in the image architecture inspires the sound of the crowd. Rosie Huntington-Whiteley is in her usual, yummy-mummy form, part of a series of stills that feel flat in a way that Beckham’s doesn’t.
The Burberry ‘A Good Sport’ campaign also includes actors Bright Vachirawit, Jason Sudeikis and Jodie Turner-Smith; athletes Declan Rice, Leah Williamson and Naomi Girma; and models Bebe Parnell, George Anderson, He Cong, Neelam Gill and Shivaruby.

#RHOA: Porsha Williams Breaks Down Her Multimillion-Dollar Real Estate Move: "Smart Business Decision"
During RHOA Season 17, Episode 12 (streaming on Peacock beginning June 22), neither Porsha nor her mother, Ms. Diane Williams, could believe that the Duluth, Georgia., home that the latter had been living in sold so quickly. According to Ms. Diane, it took less than two weeks for them to receive "many offers," including one that was all-cash.
"When I tell you it's crazy, I mean these people are ready to come in here like next month," Porsha remarked, before telling a producer, "Today's bittersweet because this is the last time that I'll be visiting my mom at this house."
A bit later, she added, "When you are looking at moving around assets, if I can sell a $2 million asset, make a million dollars, keep the $7 million asset, take out its equity, we're making smart business decisions."
Porsha previously opened up about selling her mother's house during a tearful conversation with "friend-friend" Mike Bless in Episode 4. "So, the divorce settled not long ago," she explained, referring to her split from Simon Guobadia. "I just listed my mom's house. People had a lot to say about, 'Well, why are you doing that to keep this? Just let this go.' But this is where I get the money that I put out back."
In a confessional, Porsha elaborated that the Duluth property was the "first big purchase" she made after her previous divorce from Kordell Stewart. "It was a symbol of my hard work and independence," she said, as clips rolled from her home tour in 2017. "But going through the divorce [from Simon], the house has a million dollars' worth of equity, and this is just a good time to pull it out."
At the time, her realtor had already received three purchase offers. "It just made me a little emotional today, I ain't gonna lie," Porsha told Mike.
She added in a producer interview, "This was the home I raised Pilar in. This is the home I thought my mother was gonna be in for the rest of her time. And having to make these decisions at this moment, on the emotional side, is a little difficult."
Outside of her real estate portfolio, another source of income for Porsha is, of course, her Go Naked Hair brand. Later in RHOA's June 21 episode, she approached castmate Drew Sidora with a business proposition involving the luxury hair company that she co-founded with sister Lauren Williams in 2013.
"Would you like to make money together?" she asked Drew, before going on to explain that she was starting a "pop-on wig line" that Cynthia Bailey was already involved with as well. "I have some units that came in and I think they look like you. So, let's do a Drew line."
In her response, Drew referenced her and Porsha's previous Season 16 drama, declaring, "What a difference a year will make!" With that said, Drew explained that she was "completely open" to them starting anew, but she had hired a new manager who would work out the business details with Porsha's team.
"Porsha and I, honestly, have come a long way," Drew reiterated in a confessional. "But I do have my reservations because I just don't ever want to mix our business and our friendship. I'm excited for it, but I will just need to make sure that we do things the right way this time."

#HipHopNews: Soulja Boy’s Music Royalties Could Be Sold As Ex-Girlfriend Seeks To Collect $4 Million Judgment In Sexual Battery Lawsuit – Report
According to documents obtained by TMZ on Thursday (June 18), Soulja's ex filed notice of her intent to move forward with selling the rapper's rights to future BMI royalty payments in an effort to collect on a $4.25 million civil judgment. The woman, who filed under Jane Doe, is said to be seeking to sell the rights to the highest bidder unless Soulja files an objection or takes action to resolve the debt.
In April 2025, a jury found Soulja Boy liable on several claims brought by Doe, including sexual battery, assault, intentional infliction of emotional distress, sexual harassment and failure to pay wages, as she had also been working as his personal assistant. At the time, Soulja denied wrongdoing and publicly maintained his innocence, while also stating that he intended to appeal the decision.
If approved, the proposed sale would not mean the "Crank That" rapper loses ownership of his music catalog. Instead, it would redirect income generated through BMI licensing and performance royalties toward paying down the amount owed. Those royalty streams can include earnings generated from music played on radio, television, film and other licensed uses.
Doe originally filed the lawsuit in 2021, alleging that what began as a professional relationship eventually became romantic and later turned abusive. According to the complaint, the two were involved on and off between 2014 and 2019. The lawsuit went to trial in March 2025. Among the allegations presented in court, Doe claimed Soulja once choked her and threatened her life after she refused to reconcile.
Soulja has consistently denied the allegations, while acknowledging that he and Doe had previously been in a relationship. Doe initially sought $73 million in damages before ultimately receiving the jury award last year.
Tyler Perry Denies Dodging Questions About His Sexual Orientation
Tyler Perry is pushing back against claims that he attempted to avoid questions about his sexual orientation as part of an ongoing legal dispute involving allegations of sexual misconduct.
The latest development emerged from a court battle tied to a lawsuit filed by actor and model Mario Rodriguez, who has accused Perry of sexual assault and related misconduct. Perry has repeatedly denied the allegations and has characterized the claims as false and financially motivated.
According to recent court filings, Rodriguez’s legal team argued that Perry sought to limit questioning during a deposition by preventing attorneys from asking about whether he has been sexually attracted to men. Attorneys for Rodriguez contend the topic is relevant to the allegations at the center of the lawsuit.
Perry’s attorneys strongly disputed that characterization.
In filings reported this week, Perry’s legal team argued that questions about his sexual orientation are unrelated to the claims being litigated and would serve only to create unnecessary publicity around a private matter. The defense has maintained that Perry is not attempting to avoid testimony and is prepared to participate in the legal process.
The disagreement highlights a broader legal debate over what information is relevant in civil litigation involving sexual misconduct allegations.
Rodriguez’s attorneys have asked the court to intervene, arguing that Perry’s position improperly limits discovery. Perry’s legal team, meanwhile, contends that a person’s sexual orientation is not evidence of wrongdoing and should not become a focal point of the case.
The lawsuit is one of several legal challenges Perry has faced in recent months. Rodriguez filed a $77 million complaint alleging multiple incidents of sexual misconduct and emotional distress. Perry has denied all wrongdoing.
Court records and previous reports indicate that Perry’s attorneys have described the allegations as part of an effort to obtain money from the filmmaker. The defense has pointed to communications between Perry and Rodriguez that they say undermine the accuser’s claims.
The dispute has attracted significant public attention because of Perry’s status as one of Hollywood’s most influential producers and studio owners.
Perry, the creator of the Madea franchise and founder of Tyler Perry Studios, has built a media empire spanning film, television and stage productions. His work has made him one of the entertainment industry’s most successful figures.
Despite the headlines surrounding the latest filing, no court has ruled on the merits of Rodriguez’s allegations. The case remains active, and both sides continue to prepare for further proceedings.
For now, the latest court fight is less about the underlying allegations and more about the scope of questioning permitted during discovery. Whether the court agrees with Perry’s position could shape how the case moves forward in the months ahead.
Perry has continued to deny the accusations against him and rejects claims that he is attempting to evade questions from opposing counsel. His attorneys maintain that the issue is not about avoiding testimony but about keeping the case focused on facts they argue are legally relevant.

Faizon Love Claimed He’s Too Broke to Pay Child Support Before Contempt of Court Arrest
Actor and comedian Faizon Love told a court he was struggling financially and could not afford to pay a large child support obligation before his recent arrest on contempt-of-court charges in Florida.
Love, 58, best known for roles in the films Elf, Friday and Couples Retreat, was arrested June 16 in Hillsborough County on two counts of contempt of court connected to a long-running child support dispute. Court records indicate the matter stems from a family court case involving allegations that Love failed to comply with court-ordered support payments.
According to recent court filings cited by multiple media outlets, Love argued that he lacked the financial means to satisfy the debt. The actor reportedly told the court he had not earned income during the previous year and that his highest annual income during the past five years was approximately $13,000.
The case centers on claims that Love owes roughly $250,000 in unpaid child support to Tiffany Lee, who reopened legal proceedings earlier this month. Attorneys representing Lee have argued that Love failed to comply with multiple court orders and did not make required payments over an extended period.
Love’s legal team has maintained that the actor’s financial situation deteriorated significantly in recent years.
During a court appearance following his arrest, Love described ongoing struggles with poverty and unstable housing. His attorney, Glen Lansky, said the actor had experienced homelessness and was relying largely on residual income from past acting work. Reports from the hearing indicated that Love currently receives limited royalty payments connected to Elf, the 2003 holiday comedy that remains one of his most recognizable projects.
Love’s attorney also argued that incarceration would make it even more difficult for the actor to secure work and improve his financial circumstances. Court filings cited in recent reports state that Love has claimed he has little income, drives an older vehicle and has relied on friends for assistance with living expenses.
The actor reportedly appeared in court in a wheelchair after spending time in custody. A judge later ordered his release and directed him to submit financial documentation so the court could evaluate his current ability to pay support obligations.
Contempt proceedings in child support cases often focus on whether a parent has the ability to meet court-ordered obligations. Courts generally examine financial records, earnings history and other evidence when determining whether nonpayment was willful.
Love’s attorney has indicated plans to seek a modification of the existing child support arrangement. The forthcoming financial disclosures could play a key role in determining the next phase of the case.
The arrest adds to a series of legal challenges that have followed the actor in recent years. However, the child support dispute remains separate from those matters and will continue through Florida family court proceedings.

#BoxOfficeNews: ‘Toy Story 5’ launches with record $312m at global box office
Giving the summer season another big boost, Disney’s Toy Story 5 took off with an estimated $312m debut at the worldwide box office this weekend, the biggest global opening of the year for a US studio film and the biggest ever for the venerable Pixar animated franchise.
In North America, the fifth installment’s estimated $160m debut was the biggest of the year so far, topping the $131.7m grabbed by The Super Mario Galaxy Movie at the start of April.
In the international marketplace (where it began its rollout on Wednesday), Toy Story 5’s estimated $152m was the second biggest international opening for a Pixar project, behind only Inside Out 2. The film opened at number one, or number one among non-local titles, in all significant markets except India and Poland, Disney reported.
Latin America delivered the largest chunk of the international haul, with $55.2m, the biggest opening weekend gross of the year across the region. Mexico alone produced $26.6m and Brazil $6.1m.
Europe delivered $53.4m, with $20m coming from the UK, $7.2m from France and $5.5m from Spain.
Asia-Pacific produced $43.4m, led by $18m (Pixar’s second highest debut weekend in the territory) from China, $6.9m from Australia, and $6.1m from Korea.
Imax screens contributed $18.4m of the film’s worldwide total, making Toy Story 5 the giant screen company’s fifth best three-day opener among animated releases.
The fifth installment is now well on its way to out-performing the franchise’s fourth entry, which started with $120.9m in North America in 2019, and third installment, which began with $110.3m domestically in 2010. Each of those releases went on to amass $1.1bn (not adjusted for inflation) from its global run.
With Toy Story 5 commanding the family audience, a handful of holdovers competed for the attentions of cinemagoers in other demographics.
Over its second weekend, Universal’s Disclosure Day managed an estimated global take of $35.7m, dropping to second spot on the weekend chart and taking its total so far to $160.4m.
The Steven Spielberg alien thriller was down 62% in North America with $17m and 57% internationally with $18.7m. It expanded to another 272 screens in the CIS region and took $200,000 across eight markets.
In the UK, the film was down 59% in its second weekend, taking $2.1m for a total to date of $12m. In Mexico, it was down 45% with $2m, for $7.4m to date. France delivered $1.7m for a $5.3m total, and Australia $1.3m for a $4.8m total.
Obsession, from Focus Features and Universal, stayed strong in its sixth weekend, with an estimated global gross of $25.2m, pushing its tally so far past another milestone to $333.3m.
The buzzy horror hit was down only 25% in North America with $14.2m, for a $215.8m total so far, and only 31% internationally with $11m, for a total of $117.4m. The film has now amassed $20.6m from the UK, $9.6m from India, and $7.9m from Mexico, with releases in Germany, Spain, Japan and Korea still to come.
The equally buzzy Backrooms, from A24 and independent international distributors, also crossed another century mark, taking an estimated $19.6m over the weekend for a total so far of $301.1m.
Paramount’s Scary Movie suffered a bigger drop-off but passed the double century mark by taking an estimated $15.8m worldwide over its third weekend for a total of just under $202m.
Lionsgate’s Michael, handled internationally by independents and Universal, added another $13.8m to its haul over the weekend, bringing its worldwide total to $959.6m.
Masters Of The Universe, from Amazon MGM Studios, managed an estimated $8.5m over its third weekend on global release, edging the under-performing Mattel Studios adventure past the century mark to $102m.

Angel Reese stands firm after national anthem controversy
The Atlanta Dream forward’s emotional response to “Lift Every Voice and Sing” sparked backlash — but she’s not backing down.
The night before Juneteenth, inside Gainbridge Fieldhouse in Indianapolis, Angel Reese did something that would follow her well beyond the final buzzer. As “Lift Every Voice and Sing” — the Black National Anthem — filled the arena ahead of the Atlanta Dream’s game against the Indiana Fever, the third-year WNBA forward sang along loudly, visibly moved by the moment.
For some fans in attendance, it was too much. Reese was met with audible boos from a portion of the Fever crowd — a reaction that carried through much of the game. But if the criticism was meant to quiet her, it had the opposite effect.
Speaking to reporters the day after the Thursday night game, Reese didn’t walk anything back. She described being overwhelmed by a surge of emotion — shaped by everything she had navigated since entering the national spotlight. The booing, she said, only made the anthem hit harder. When she heard “Lift Every Voice,” she felt the weight of those who had come before her, who had marched and struggled so that she could be exactly where she was: a professional athlete, competing at the highest level, on the eve of a federal holiday marking the end of American slavery.
Reese has never been a quiet presence. Since her breakout with the LSU Tigers — where she helped the program win a national championship — and before that at the University of Maryland, she has operated in a space where her every move is dissected. Critics and supporters have both followed her closely into the WNBA, where she now plays for Atlanta after her time with the Chicago Sky.
The attention hasn’t always been kind. She acknowledged that the past couple of years have included difficult stretches — moments when public scrutiny was relentless and unforgiving. But she framed those hardships not as wounds, but as fuel.
For Reese, the anthem moment wasn’t just about herself. It was a message — directed at every young Black girl or boy who might be watching, looking for someone who looked like them thriving unapologetically on a big stage.
She has been deliberate about using her visibility as currency. In her view, representation isn’t a buzzword — it’s a responsibility. Standing up, singing loudly, refusing to shrink when a crowd turns hostile: all of it, she suggested, is part of the same commitment. She has a platform, and she intends to use it.
Reese‘s anthem moment unfolded against a backdrop that gives it additional weight. The WNBA has seen a surge in cultural relevance over the past two seasons, driven in large part by the Reese-Clark rivalry, which has generated the kind of sustained media attention the league hadn’t experienced in years. Their matchups consistently rank among the most-watched games of any given week.
That visibility cuts both ways. It means bigger audiences — but also louder detractors, and a much shorter grace period for any moment that can be packaged as controversy. Reese has navigated that tension throughout her career, and Thursday night was simply the latest chapter.
She doesn’t appear to be losing sleep over it.
The night before Juneteenth, inside Gainbridge Fieldhouse in Indianapolis, Angel Reese did something that would follow her well beyond the final buzzer. As “Lift Every Voice and Sing” — the Black National Anthem — filled the arena ahead of the Atlanta Dream’s game against the Indiana Fever, the third-year WNBA forward sang along loudly, visibly moved by the moment.
For some fans in attendance, it was too much. Reese was met with audible boos from a portion of the Fever crowd — a reaction that carried through much of the game. But if the criticism was meant to quiet her, it had the opposite effect.
Speaking to reporters the day after the Thursday night game, Reese didn’t walk anything back. She described being overwhelmed by a surge of emotion — shaped by everything she had navigated since entering the national spotlight. The booing, she said, only made the anthem hit harder. When she heard “Lift Every Voice,” she felt the weight of those who had come before her, who had marched and struggled so that she could be exactly where she was: a professional athlete, competing at the highest level, on the eve of a federal holiday marking the end of American slavery.
Reese has never been a quiet presence. Since her breakout with the LSU Tigers — where she helped the program win a national championship — and before that at the University of Maryland, she has operated in a space where her every move is dissected. Critics and supporters have both followed her closely into the WNBA, where she now plays for Atlanta after her time with the Chicago Sky.
The attention hasn’t always been kind. She acknowledged that the past couple of years have included difficult stretches — moments when public scrutiny was relentless and unforgiving. But she framed those hardships not as wounds, but as fuel.
For Reese, the anthem moment wasn’t just about herself. It was a message — directed at every young Black girl or boy who might be watching, looking for someone who looked like them thriving unapologetically on a big stage.
She has been deliberate about using her visibility as currency. In her view, representation isn’t a buzzword — it’s a responsibility. Standing up, singing loudly, refusing to shrink when a crowd turns hostile: all of it, she suggested, is part of the same commitment. She has a platform, and she intends to use it.
Reese‘s anthem moment unfolded against a backdrop that gives it additional weight. The WNBA has seen a surge in cultural relevance over the past two seasons, driven in large part by the Reese-Clark rivalry, which has generated the kind of sustained media attention the league hadn’t experienced in years. Their matchups consistently rank among the most-watched games of any given week.

Serena Williams Receives Wimbledon Singles Wild Card as Comeback Gains Momentum
Serena Williams' return to tennis just got even bigger. Just weeks after announcing her comeback to professional tennis, the 23-time Grand Slam champion has officially been granted a wild card into the ladies' singles draw at Wimbledon, tournament organizers announced Sunday.
Williams was already set to compete in the women's doubles event alongside her sister Venus Williams, but the latest announcement means the 44-year-old will once again chase an eighth singles title at the All England Club. The move marks another major step in one of the most surprising comebacks in recent tennis history.
Williams stepped away from the sport in 2022, famously writing in an essay for Vogue that she was "evolving away" from tennis rather than fully embracing retirement. At the time, she admitted she struggled with the idea of leaving the game behind.
"There is no happiness in this topic for me," she wrote. "I don't want it to be over, but at the same time I'm ready for what's next."
Now, nearly four years later, she's back.
Earlier this month, Williams shocked the tennis world by announcing she would return to competition at the HSBC Championships at Queen's Club in London. She called the event the perfect place to begin her next chapter and said grass courts have provided some of the most meaningful moments of her career.
That comeback got off to a rocky start when her doubles partner, Victoria Mboko, suffered a knee injury before their match, forcing Williams to postpone her return to competitive action. But Wimbledon will offer a much grander stage.
Williams is one of the most decorated players in the tournament's history, having won seven singles championships at the grass-court major. Her victories came in 2002, 2003, 2009, 2010, 2012, 2015, and 2016.
She and Venus have also dominated doubles at Wimbledon, capturing six titles together and becoming one of the most successful sibling duos in sports history.
Their reunion was confirmed earlier this week when Wimbledon released its initial list of wild card entries for the 2026 Championships. The return of Serena has generated excitement throughout the tennis world, with many eager to see how she fares against a younger generation of stars.

‘Law & Order’ Star Christopher Meloni Co-Signs Jalen Brunson’s 'SVU' Appearance Goal
Jalen Brunson's wish to land a guest role on Law & Order: SVU might just come true.
On June 20, Christopher Meloni told TMZ Sports that he "absolutely" supports Brunson starring in the show, pointing to the championship-winning Knicks point guard's status as all the justification needed.
"I don't know if you've heard, but he's a world champion," Meloni said. "He can do whatever the hell he wants. So what, so because he's the world champion, yes, he has a chance. He's got the force of will."
Meloni framed the endorsement around what Brunson's title actually means for New York. The Knicks beat the San Antonio Spurs in five games to end a 53-year championship drought, with Brunson dropping 45 points in a 94-90 road clincher in Game 5 and being named Finals MVP.
Brunson first floated the SVU ambition right after the final buzzer. When reporters asked what was next following the Game 5 win on June 13, he answered simply: "To try to get on SVU."
And the wish is much more than just wanting to get some screen time. Brunson grew up watching the hit investigative show with his father Rick Brunson, a former Knicks star and the team's current assistant coach. "I remember my dad always watching the show, and you just hear the iconic (theme song) 'dun-dun' all the time," Brunson said, per The Sporting News. He has since called SVU "a pregame show for me."
Another SVU star who supports Brunson to the fullest is Mariska Hargitay, who’s made it clear how much of a fan of Brunson she is — and how much she wants him on the show.
During a May appearance on TODAY, Hargitay named her two dream SVU guest stars. "Two people, and they both start with 'J' — Jamie Lee Curtis and my Jalen Brunson,” she said.
Brunson and Hargitay have also built a genuine friendship, which the latter revealed happened because he was a longtime SVU fan.
At the Knicks’ championship parade, Hargitay shared her perspective on what makes Brunson such a great athlete for New York City. "I think that Jalen embodies the heart, the grit, and the fight of this city," she said in a video that was shared by the NBA. "And it is so beyond profound, his unification quality. The way he's unified all of us is so extraordinary."
"To be here with him [and] his family, and to be among them, is just the most extraordinary feeling I think I've ever had,” she added.
Law & Order: SVU has been renewed for Season 28 and will return to NBC this fall. Who knows, maybe we’ll see Brunson in the premiere.

Russell Simmons Must Face Def Jam Exec’s Rape Lawsuit After Judge Rejects Indonesia Residency Argument
Russell Simmons will have to continue fighting a rape lawsuit in New York after a judge ruled that his move to Indonesia does not shield him from the case.
On Tuesday, June 16, New York Supreme Court Judge Adam Silvera rejected Simmons’ latest attempt to dismiss the civil lawsuit filed by a former Def Jam executive, identified as Jane Doe. She alleges Simmons r*ped her in his New York apartment in the 1990s while she was there to get approval for a music video.
“The complaint alleges the defendant committed the tort of rape in New York state,” the judge wrote. “[In New York], a court may exercise personal jurisdiction over any non-domiciliary who commits a tortious act within the state, except as to a cause of action for defamation. Therefore, the complaint survives the motion to dismiss stage.”
Simmons’ attorneys also argued that Doe released any claims in a 1997 severance agreement, but her lawyers called the document a “sham” and said her signature was forged. The judge found a “genuine dispute as to its authenticity.”
Simmons has denied all wrongdoing.

T.I Asks Judge To Dismiss Sabrina Peterson’s Emotional Distress Claim
In 2021, Sabrina Peterson accused T.I. of pointing a gun at her head back, which she claims brought on emotional distress.
According to AllHipHop, T.I asked United States District Judge Fernando M. Olguin to dismiss the remainder of Peterson’s case against him. The Kill the King rapper, filed the motion on June 15, per the outlet. T.I’s counsel, J. Cameron-Banks, underscored that Peterson’s emotional distress claim is false, pointing to the plaintiff’s amended responses with no additional facts and her consistent returns to allegations from 2007 and 2014.
The claim stems from a July 2025 Instagram video in which the rapper encouraged followers to “not spread lies” and to “mind your business.” The Atlanta MC said at the time, “It’s a beautiful day to not spread lies and to not be negative. It’s a beautiful day, man, to mind your business.”
Peterson has argued that the post was directed at her and caused emotional harm.
T.I.’s legal team disagrees, arguing that the video never mentioned Peterson by name, did not tag her, and contained no direct reference to her. His attorneys also contend that only a handful of commenters connected the post to Peterson despite the video generating tens of thousands of interactions online.
They also argued the Instagram post doesn’t meet legal standards for actionable emotional harm.
The current motion filing is the latest move in the years-long case between Peterson and T.I. The legal battle emerged in 2021 after Peterson accused T.I. of pointing a gun at her head back.
T.I. and his wife, Tiny Harris, denied the allegation, and Peterson later sued the couple for defamation, invasion of privacy, emotional distress, and other claims. Over the years, several portions of Peterson’s lawsuit were dismissed, and she was ordered to pay more than $96,000 in legal fees.
The rapper federally sued Peterson in 2024 for defamation alleging she falsely claimed on social media that he was under federal investigation for sex trafficking.
A judge has not yet ruled on T.I.’s latest request. If granted, it could eliminate Peterson’s last remaining claim in the ongoing case. The hearing over this dismissal request will reportedly take place on July 30.

Rod Stewart, 81, Pauses Concert to Use Oxygen Tank & Nearly Faints
Rod Stewart is causing concern after a concert in Utah.
The 81-year-old “Maggie May” singer paused mid-concert at the Utah First Credit Union Amphitheatre to use an oxygen tank onstage, nearly fainting on Friday (June 19) in West Valley City, Utah.
Rod could be seen doubling over seemingly unwell in viral footage from the concert, and was spotted using an oxygen tank to help his breathing backstage.
He later came out into the crowd and told them he nearly fainted while making jokes and finishing off his set in a chair.
He faced some major backlash from fans for his recent appearance at the 2026 World Cup.
The night before, Rod was scheduled to perform at San Diego’s North Island Credit Union Amphitheatre. However, 45 minutes before the concert was set to start, Rod canceled, citing health reasons.
“He traveled to the venue and made every effort to perform, but on the advice of his doctors, and following a diagnosis of an acute upper respiratory infection that has resulted in laryngitis, he is unable to take the stage this evening,” read a statement posted on the venue’s Instagram.
