Bret Michaels has undergone emergency surgery after powering through three concerts while suffering from a debilitating kidney stone. The 63-year-old Poison frontman revealed that he spent seven days in “intense” pain before being admitted to the hospital immediately following a private performance. Although Michaels is now out of postoperative recovery, his statement indicates that he is waiting for a complete clean bill of health before returning to the stage.

Michaels revealed his health scare in a Facebook update accompanied by a photograph from his hospital bed. The “Rock of Love” star smiled broadly while wearing his signature cap and making an “all good” hand gesture toward the camera.
According to the singer, the kidney stone would not pass despite causing seven days of excruciating pain. However, Michaels was determined not to disappoint fans attending his scheduled performances.
He completed a July 4 concert in Charleston, West Virginia, followed by a July 11 show in Grantville, Pennsylvania. Michaels then performed a special private concert at Fairchild Air Force Base in Spokane, Washington, on July 18. “But immediately, the next day following that show, I was admitted to the hospital, as the pain became too much when the stone would not pass,” Michaels told his followers.
The Poison Singer Is Recovering After His Operation
Michaels confirmed that doctors successfully completed the procedure and that he had moved beyond the initial postoperative recovery stage. “The operation has been done and is complete & I’m out of post-op recovery, and I’m doing everything within my power to feel better and continue playing great shows for great fans when I’ve got a complete clean bill of health,” he wrote.
The musician expressed “complete gratitude” for the doctors and nurses who cared for him during the emergency. “Just want to say on this #WisdomWednesday that I am wise enough to know how important family, friends, fans, doctors and nurses play such a vital role in our everyday health,” Michaels added.

He also joked about arriving at the hospital directly from his concert without stopping to change. “Also just know, they eventually forced me out of my clothes & into a hospital gown lol as I had gone straight from the show to the hospital,” he shared.
Michaels’ followers flooded the post with supportive messages, with many expressing relief that his operation was successful. “Glad the operation was successful! Feel better soon!!!!” one person wrote.
Another fan urged the rocker to stop pushing through severe pain for the sake of his performances. “You need to listen to your body! You can reschedule your concerts! But you have only one body to take care of!” they commented.
Others shared their own frightening experiences with kidney stones. One follower recalled visiting an emergency room with pain so intense that she could not speak, adding that even morphine failed to provide relief. “Kidney stones are HORRIBLE!!!!! I went to an ER with such intense pain that I couldn’t speak! I just handed my driver’s license to the receptionist. 8 hours of pain and vomiting. Even morphine didn’t work!” the fan wrote.
Another person described suffering septic shock twice within one month and spending 21 days in intensive care before undergoing five months of dialysis. “Kidney stones are no joke. I gave birth to two children and kidney stones can really match up to the labor pain,” the follower wrote. “Take care of the stones. I’m so glad you’re doing much better. Again, take care.”
The singer is currently touring as a solo artist while performing music from his career with Poison. His upcoming schedule includes a July 30 concert in Interlochen, Michigan, followed by a July 31 performance in Belleville, Illinois. Michaels also has additional dates booked throughout August and September.
His statement did not explicitly confirm whether those performances will proceed as scheduled. Instead, he emphasized that he wants to resume performing once he receives full medical clearance.
Michaels previously canceled an appearance at the President Donald Trump-supported Freedom 250 concert on May 29. At the time, he cited increasing political divisiveness and security concerns as the reasons for withdrawing. His latest interruption, however, stems from the kidney stone and subsequent emergency operation.
Alongside his solo schedule, Michaels has been discussing the possibility of reuniting Poison for another tour. The hair-metal band last toured with Def Leppard in 2022 and had reportedly considered returning for a run of major headlining shows in 2026. However, those plans were ultimately abandoned.
Poison drummer Rikki Rockett claimed that the proposed tour fell apart because Michaels wanted the “lion’s share” of the money. Michaels has pushed back against the idea that ongoing drama will prevent the band from reuniting. Instead, he has identified 2027 as a potential year for Poison’s comeback.
During an appearance on SiriusXM’s “Trunk Nation With Eddie Trunk,” the singer expressed confidence that the band could return to the road. “We’re hoping for ’27, ’cause I know it’s a big question,” Michaels said. “I think. I really strongly think ’27, without going into details yet, is going to be a good reunion year for Poison. I think it’s gonna be awesome.”

For now, Michaels’ immediate priority is recovering from surgery and receiving the medical clearance necessary to continue his solo tour safely.
Star of the beloved Cornetto Trilogy (Shaun of the Dead, Hot Fuzz, and The World’s End) and many other acclaimed titles, there’s no doubt that Simon Pegg‘s name being attached to a project is sure to attract plenty of attention. In 2022, the British favorite starred alongside Siân Brooke (Blue Lights), Hannah Khalique-Brown (Red Rose), and Alex Jennings (A Very English Scandal) in an underrated Channel 4 thriller series.
The Undeclared War quickly garnered positive reviews, being compared to 24 and Homelandby one critic, and described as “exceedingly well-made” by another, who was particularly laudatory about the direction of The State‘s Peter Kosminsky, who was behind the camera for every episode in Season 1. Sadly, fans waited four years to receive a second season, which added Ed Stoppard (Knightfall) and Chloe Pirrie (The Queen’s Gambit) to an already stacked cast.
But as soon as the second season debuted on Channel 4 across the pond, thoughts immediately turned to a third outing. These very thoughts have just received a huge boost courtesy of Pegg and Khalique-Brown, with the former stating in an interview with Radio Times that he would “absolutely” return. “I’ve had a couple of conversations with the writer about where we could go next, in terms of what the status quo is at the end of the series. Obviously, everything’s changed,” Pegg added. There are definitely options and plot lines that could be explored,” Khalique-Brown added. “The scope is there, for sure. Whether or not it happens, we don’t know.” Pegg then continued:

“I love doing the show. It’s so much fun, and I love the writing. Going from being in a very fantastical kind of spy story in Mission: Impossible to this, which is much more grounded but no less intriguing – because this is real. All the gadgets in this exist. There’s no fantasy in this. It’s all rooted in reality.”

Arrakis · Dune
Paul Atreides
You carry a weight most people would crumble under — the knowledge of what you’re capable of, and the burden of what you might have to become.
Advertisement
You see further ahead than others and you plan accordingly, even when the vision frightens you.
You are driven by loyalty to your people and a sense of destiny you didn’t ask for but can’t escape.
Paul Atreides is not simply a hero — he is someone who understands the cost of power and chooses to bear it anyway.
That gravity, that willingness to carry what others won’t, is exactly you.
USS Enterprise · Star Trek
Captain Kirk
You lead with instinct, warmth, and an absolute refusal to accept a no-win scenario — because you’ve always believed there’s a third option nobody else has thought of yet.
Advertisement
You take the mission seriously without ever taking yourself too seriously.
Your crew would follow you anywhere, not because you demand it, but because you’ve earned it.
Kirk’s genius isn’t tactical — it’s human. He reads people, bends rules with purpose, and wills outcomes into existence through sheer conviction.
That combination of warmth, audacity, and relentless optimism is unmistakably yours.
The Rebellion · Star Wars
Princess Leia
You are the kind of person who holds the line when everyone else is losing faith — not because you’re fearless, but because giving up simply isn’t something you’re capable of.
Advertisement
You lead through conviction. Your voice carries because your belief is unshakeable.
You gave up everything ordinary the moment you chose the cause, and you’ve never looked back.
Leia is not a supporting character in her own story — she is the moral centre of the entire rebellion.
That same fierce, principled, unbreakable core is what defines you.
The Nostromo · Alien
Ellen Ripley
You are not reckless, not grandiose, and not particularly interested in being anyone’s hero — you just refuse to stop when it matters.
Advertisement
You see threats clearly, you document the truth even when no one listens, and when the time comes you handle it yourself.
Ripley’s heroism is earned, not performed. She doesn’t have a speech — she has a flamethrower and a plan.
You share her composure under the worst possible pressure, and her refusal to pretend the monster isn’t there.
When it counts, you don’t flinch. That’s everything.
The Wasteland · Mad Max
Max Rockatansky
You have been through fire that would break most people — and what came out the other side is something the world underestimates at its peril.

You don’t ask for help, don’t need validation, and don’t wait for anyone to tell you the rules no longer apply.
Your loyalty, when it finally arrives, is absolute — but it’s earned in silence and tested in action, not in words.
Max is not a nihilist. He is someone who lost everything and found, against his will, that he still has something worth protecting.
That bruised, stubborn, ultimately human core is exactly yours.

Simon Pegg Starred in One of Last Year’s Biggest Summer Blockbusters

Although he’s most famous for his work in British comedy, a lot of American viewers will know Pegg best for portraying quirky IMF lab technician Benji in the Mission: Impossible franchise. Last summer, this iconic action franchise came to an explosive, emotional end, as Tom Cruise faced one more mission as Ethan Hunt before riding off into the sunset in The Final Reckoning. This freed up Cruise to take on his first original, non-franchise film since American Made in 2017: Digger.

After delivering the biggest global debut of Christopher Nolan‘s career, The Odyssey has broken another personal record for the filmmaker. Nolan works exclusively on large-scale projects, which means that he has set a high box-office bar for himself over the years. Two of his movies — The Dark Knight and its sequel, The Dark Knight Rises — have grossed more than $1 billion worldwide. Another film, Oppenheimer, came awfully close to hitting this coveted milestone in 2023. The biographical thriller ended its theatrical run with $975 million against a reported budget of $100 million. It should surpass the $1 billion milestone if it is ever re-released. But Oppenheimer will likely be beaten to the punch by The Odyssey, which is going on a rampage at the box office.
The movie grossed around $265 million in its global opening, against a reported budget of $250 million. This is the biggest budget that Nolan has ever worked with, tied with The Dark Knight Rises. For context, the Russo Brothers‘ latest release, The Electric State, is said to have cost $320 million to produce. The Netflix sci-fi movie holds a 14% critics’ score on the aggregator website Rotten Tomatoes — a career-low for the Russos — while The Odyssey has received some of the best reviews of Nolan’s career. The epic is now sitting at a “Certified Fresh” 94% critics’ score and a “Verified Hot” 97% audience score on the aggregator, where the consensus reads, “Reinvigorating an ancient adventure with majestic sweep and sterling work by its colossal ensemble, Christopher Nolan’s The Odyssey imbues myth with primal human feeling.”

You carry something heavy — and you carry it alone, even when you don’t have to. You were not born for greatness, and that is precisely why greatness chose you. Your courage is not the roaring, sword-swinging kind; it is quiet, stubborn, and terrifying in its refusal to quit. The Ring weighs on you more than anyone can see, and still you walk toward the fire. That is not weakness. That is the rarest kind of strength there is.
You are, without question, the best of them. Not the most powerful, not the most celebrated — but the most essential. Your loyalty is not a trait; it is a force of nature. You would carry the person you love up the slopes of Mount Doom if it came to that, and we both know you’d do it without being asked. The world needs more people like you, and the world is lucky it has even one.
Advertisement
You were born to lead, and you have spent years running from it. The crown is yours by right, but you know better than anyone that right means nothing without the will and the worthiness to back it up. You are tempered by loss, shaped by long roads, and defined by a code of honour you hold to even when no one is watching. When you finally step forward, the world shifts. Because it was always waiting for you.
You have seen more than you let on, and you say less than you know — which is exactly as it should be. You are a catalyst: you do not fight the battles yourself, you ignite the people who can. Your wisdom comes not from books but from an age of watching what happens when it is ignored. You arrive precisely when you mean to, and your presence alone changes what is possible. A wizard is never late.
Advertisement
Graceful, perceptive, and almost preternaturally calm under pressure — you see things others miss and act before others react. You do not need to make a scene to be remarkable; your presence speaks for itself. You are loyal to those you choose to stand beside, and that choice is not made lightly. You have lived long enough to know that the most beautiful things in this world are also the most fragile, and that is why you fight to protect them.
You are loud, proud, and absolutely formidable — and beneath all of that is one of the most fiercely loyal hearts in Middle-earth. You don’t do anything by half measures. Your friendships are forged like iron, your grudges run as deep as mines, and your courage in battle is the kind that makes legends. You came into this fellowship suspicious of everyone and ended it willing to die for an elf. That is not a small thing. That is everything.
Advertisement
You think in centuries and act in absolutes. Order, dominion, control — not because you are cruel by nature, but because you have decided that the world left to itself always falls apart, and you are the only one with the vision and the will to hold it together. You were not always this. Something was lost, or taken, or betrayed, and the version of you that stands now is the answer to that wound. The tragedy is that you’re not entirely wrong — just entirely too far gone to course-correct.
You are a study in contradiction — pitiable and dangerous, cunning and broken, capable of both cruelty and something that once resembled love. You are defined by loss: of innocence, of self, of the one thing that gave your existence meaning. Two voices war inside you constantly, and the tragedy is that the better one sometimes wins, just not often enough, and never at the right moment. You are a warning, yes — but also a mirror. We are all a little Gollum, given the right ring and enough time.

Here’s How Much ‘The Odyssey’ Has Grossed So Far
The near-unanimous praise seems to be paying off already, with the movie grossing a massive $21 million domestically on its first Tuesday. This is the biggest Tuesday haul of Nolan’s career, ahead of The Dark Knight‘s $20 million in 2008. The epic is also poised to out-gross The Dark Knight in its second weekend in domestic theaters. To do this, it would need to gross more than $75 million in its sophomore frame. Starring Matt Damon, Anne Hathaway, Tom Holland, and Robert Pattinson, the movie is on the verge of passing the $350 million mark globally. Don’t be surprised if The Odyssey cracks the $500 million milestone worldwide within 10 days of release. Stay tuned to Collider for more updates.
“Maybe some people do loathe me — and that’s probably true — I don’t care,” Musk, 55, told editor-in-chief of The EconomistZanny Minton Beddoes in a wide-ranging, 90-minute video interview released on Thursday, July 23, after the X owner was asked if he understands that “some people do loathe” Musk and believe his politics and use of social media is not “helpful for Western democracy.”
“But the fact that, as you pointed out, a quarter billion people follow me is that I think a lot more people actually like me than don’t,” he continued. “And I think a lot more people hate you and the media more than you realize.”
He added, “Do you realize the media is despised? Do you realize that journalists, the view of journalists, is like, it’s like a favorable view of journalists is like 15 percent. So the show is on the other foot. They hate you. They hate you far more than they hate me.”
Elon Musk confirmed that he only got involved in politics because his daughter Vivian Wilson is a transgender woman. On Sunday, May 31, the X owner responded to a tweet showcasing Wilson’s latest modeling campaign and making light of her unintentional influence over her father’s shift to right-wing politics. (Vivian is one of Musk’s 14 […]
Beddoes did acknowledge that overall trust in the news and journalism is at an all-time low — according to one October 2025 Gallup poll, only 28 percent of Americans report having a “great deal” or “fair amount” of trust in newspapers, television and radio to report the news accurately and fairly.

“I think there is certainly [a] loss of trust in journalism. I think, in part, there have been mistakes by journalists and journalism, I totally acknowledge that,” she explained. “But I think the kind of polarized environment, particularly on social media fostered by the kinds of things you’re pushing on X, actually helps this – makes it worse.”
Musk vehemently disagreed with Beddoes’ assertion, doubling down on his assessment of journalism as a whole.
“I don’t think so,” he responded. “I think you’re the problem, the media, and, um, speaking of loathing, you are loathed far more than I am and you don’t seem to even realize that.”
Advertisement
“I think very few people know who I am relative to you,” Beddoes said. “So I don’t think I play in the same game.”
Don Lemon’s new partnership with X has been canceled following a “tense” interview he conducted with the owner of the social media platform, Elon Musk. “We had a good conversation,” Lemon, 58, wrote in a Wednesday, March 13, statement. “Clearly he felt differently. His commitment to a global town square where all questions can be […]
“The media collectively,” Elon retorted, again focused on attacking the media and journalism at large. “Um, so, I mean, you’re hated.”
According to a Pew Research Center survey conducted between January 27 and February 2 of 2025, 54 percent of Americans say they have an “unfavorable” view of Musk, including a reported 36% who report having a “very unfavorable” opinion of the trillionaire.
Netflix introduced a new generation of fans to Little House on the Prairie with the recent release of the streaming service’s highly anticipated reboot — but there are some core differences between the show and the beloved original series.
“With this version, our showrunner and creator, Rebecca Sonnenshine, she’s really gone back to Laura Ingalls Wilder‘s books as the source material,” Luke Bracey, who stars as patriarch “Pa” Charles Ingalls in the new version, began on the Friday, July 24, episode of Live With Kelly and Mark. “All the stories come from there and she says that she wanted to have the show make you feel what you felt when you read the books as a kid.”
Both versions of Little House were adapted from Ingalls Wilder’s iconic, semi-autobiographical books of the same name, chronicling a pioneer family’s move from Wisconsin to Kansas.
“Hopefully, we fit as much [from the books] as we can into the scripts,” Bracey, 37, said on Friday. “That’s probably the main delineation from the original show, but the fact that it’s a family trying to be good people is still the core of it.”

Bracey plays Charles opposite Crosby Fitzgerald’s Caroline Ingalls, who are the parents of Mary (Skywalker Hughes) and Laura (Alice Halsey).
The original series, meanwhile, aired from 1974 to 1983, starring Michael Landon and Karen Grassle as the Ingalls parents. Their kids were played by then-child stars Melissa Gilbert, Melissa Sue Anderson and twins Lindsay and Sydney Greenbush.
For Australia native Bracey, he admittedly had “no concept” of Little House before landing the role.

“I got an email about the audition and I saw the title and, maybe I’d heard the title before, but I had no concept of the story or the show or the books or anything like that,” the actor told hosts Kelly Ripa and Mark Consuelos on their daytime TV show. “I read the script and it’s a really great script. It’s kind of hard to deny [that]. I thought, ‘Wow, it’s so rare these days to have a show of such high quality that’s nice.’ It’s about nice people trying their hardest in life and facing obstacles and getting up and overcoming them and trying to be good people while doing it.”
Bracey added, “I just thought that was such a special thing and quite rare these days in shows. A lot of shows are really dark and I love the idea of portraying a good man or a man trying to be a good man. [He’s] not perfect, far from perfect, but [Charles is] really wanting to be a good father and a good husband and a good member of his community.”
Little House on the Prairie is currently streaming on Netflix.

After a solid opening week on Netflix, the streamer’s latest franchise feature seems to be plummeting on the viewership charts. Netflix remains the only streaming platform that is transparent about viewership, which it measures using its own metrics. While this data makes for interesting analysis, it can also make a film or show’s performance abundantly clear to the public. And Enola Holmes 3, the third installment in the streaming platform’s young-adult franchise, is certainly not doing as well as anybody involved in it would have liked. The movie brings back Millie Bobby Brown — arguably the biggest homegrown star on Netflix — as the titular heroine. She is joined in the movie by Henry Cavill, who returns as Enola’s illustrious older brother, Sherlock Holmes.
The first and second films, Enola Holmes and Enola Holmes 2, were both directed by Harry Bradbeer. They were released in 2020 and 2022, receiving warm reviews from critics and audiences. Along with the Extraction movies headlined by Chris Hemsworth, the Enola Holmes series seemed to be the best franchise play devised by Netflix. The third movie was written by returning scribe Jack Thorne, but it was directed by Philip Barantini, who broke out last year with the widely acclaimed limited series Adolescence. However, the creative change-up didn’t translate into better reviews.

How do you prefer your partner to communicate mid-mission? Good communication is the difference between partners and a liability.

Your Partner Has Been Assigned Your Perfect Partner Is…
Your answers have pointed to one action hero above all others. This is the person built to have your back — for better or considerably, spectacularly worse.
Rambo

Your partner doesn’t talk much, doesn’t need to, and will have assessed every threat in your immediate environment before you’ve finished your first sentence. John Rambo is not a man of plans or politics — he is a force of nature shaped by survival, loyalty, and a capacity for endurance that goes beyond anything training can produce. He will not leave you behind. He has never left anyone behind who deserved to come home. What you get with Rambo is the most capable, most quietly ferocious partner imaginable — one who has been through things that would have broken anyone else, and who chose to keep going anyway. You’ll never need to ask if he has your back. You’ll just know.
James Bond
Your partner will arrive perfectly dressed, perfectly briefed, and with a cover story so convincing it’ll take you a moment to remember what’s actually true. James Bond is the most professionally dangerous person in any room he enters — and the most disarmingly charming, which is the point. He operates in a world of layers, where nothing is what it appears and every advantage is used without apology. You’ll never be bored. You’ll occasionally be furious. But when it matters — when the mission is genuinely on the line and the margin for error has collapsed to nothing — Bond is exactly the partner you want. He has survived things that have no business being survivable. He does it with style. That is not nothing.

Indiana Jones
Your partner will know the history, the language, the cultural context, and exactly why the thing everyone else is ignoring is actually the most important thing in the room. Indiana Jones is brilliant, reckless, and occasionally impossible — but he is also one of the most resourceful, most genuinely knowledgeable partners you could find yourself beside. He approaches every situation with a scholar’s eye and a brawler’s instinct, which is an unusual combination and a remarkably effective one. He hates snakes and gets personally attached to objects of historical significance, both of which will slow you down at least once. It doesn’t matter. What Indy brings is irreplaceable — and the adventures you’ll have together will be the kind people write books about. Assuming you survive them.

John McClane
Your partner was not supposed to be here. He does not have the right equipment, the right information, or anything approaching the right odds. He has a sarcastic remark and an absolute refusal to accept that the situation is as bad as it looks. John McClane is the greatest accidental hero in the history of action cinema — a man whose superpower is stubbornness, whose contingency plan is improvisation, and whose capacity to absorb punishment and keep moving would be alarming if it weren’t so useful. He will complain the entire time. He will make it significantly more chaotic than it needed to be. And he will absolutely, unconditionally, without question come through when it counts. Yippee-ki-yay.
Ethan Hunt

Your partner has already run seventeen scenarios by the time you’ve finished reading the briefing, and the plan he’s settled on involves at least two things that should be physically impossible. Ethan Hunt operates at the absolute edge of human capability — technically, physically, and intellectually — and he brings the same relentless precision to protecting his partners that he brings to dismantling organisations that shouldn’t exist. He is not easy to know and he will never fully tell you everything. But he will carry the weight of the mission so completely, so absolutely, that your job is simply to trust him — and the remarkable thing is that trusting him always turns out to be the right call. The mission will be impossible. He will complete it anyway.

Here’s Where ‘Enola Holmes 3’ Stands in Terms of Viewership
Enola Holmes 3 holds a 66% score on the aggregator website Rotten Tomatoes, where the consensus reads, “Despite a muddled story and diminished spark, Enola Holmes 3 succeeds thanks to Millie Bobby Brown’s winning performance and some lively action.” By comparison, the first and second films in the series are both “Certified Fresh” with 91% and 93% scores on the aggregator website. Enola Holmes 3 amassed 20 million views in its first week, per Netflix. But while most major movies witness an uptick in viewership in their sophomore frames, Enola Holmes 3 dropped to 12 million views. In its third week, this figure fell to 4.8 million views, which puts the movie’s total viewership at around 37 million views in three weeks. Netflix counts views for the first 90 days of a film or show’s release, which has resulted in four movies this year — War Machine, The Rip, Apex, and Thrash — crossing the 100 million views milestone. Stay tuned to Collider for more updates.

“We had been talking since October 2019 and then I flew out to New York to spend Christmas with him and I knew that trip he was the type of guy you marry,” Haley exclusively told Us Weekly in May 2021. “He surprised me with tickets to The Lion King on Broadway and wined and dined me.”
Palve, who is a hockey player from Finland, married Haley in June 2022 ahead of her sister Emily’s July 2022 wedding with Vegas Golden Knights player William Karlsson. Haley and Palve announced in January 2026 that they’re expecting their second baby.

Brittany Mahomes is celebrating her husband, Patrick Mahomes, and his highly anticipated return to the gridiron after his season-ending ACL injury.
“Seeing him back doing what he loves,” Brittany, 30, wrote via her Instagram Stories on Saturday, July 25, resharing the team’s footage of Patrick, also 30, arriving for training camp. “So thankful 🙏.”
The Kansas City Chiefs starting quarterback sustained a leg injury at the tail-end of the 2025-2026 season, sidelining the star for the remainder of the team’s regular season games. (The Chiefs failed to make the playoffs for the first time since 2014, ending their season in January ahead of the Super Bowl.)
Patrick underwent ACL surgery before spending the bulk of the offseason recuperating in time for the team’s training camp. (The Chiefs, like most NFL teams, spend July in training camp before a handful of preseason games ahead of the regular season.)
Patrick Mahomes finally gave Chiefs Kingdom something to smile about after months of disappointment. Mahomes, 30, spoke to the media on Thursday, January 15, when he provided an update about his recovery process after undergoing surgery last month to repair his torn ACL (anterior cruciate ligament) and LCL (lateral collateral ligament). “Rehab is going great […]
Just one day before Patrick arrived at the Saint Joseph, Missouri, facility for training camp, he gave reporters an update on his recovery progress.

“That’s the goal to be able to practice when we get to training camp, and we hit that next step,” he said in a Friday, July 24, press conference. “Now, it’s gonna be about building and keep getting better and better, so that whenever the regular season comes around, I can try to be available and ready to play.”
“He saw the numbers I was putting up and that gave him the comfortability [to be] fully cleared to practice,” Patrick noted, sharing his doctor’s advice. “It’s still good to be out there and have bodies around and be able to run the offense. This is just another checkpoint on the schedule.”

He continued at the time, “You have to continue to work. It’s not, like, it’s over and I’m gonna be able to play a game tomorrow. You have to continue to work and get better and better and go through all practice, prove to the coaches [and] prove to the doctors and everybody that I’m the same quarterback I was, if not better.”
Patrick is a three-time Super Bowl champion and remains hopeful that he will be strong enough to start in the 2026-2027 season games.
“I’m a competitor, so game day, I wanna be out there,” Patrick stated. “I understand the process of getting myself ready to play, and the regular season is more important [than preseason games]. We will, the doctors and coaches will make that decision for me, but I will prepare myself like I’m gonna play.”
Kacey Musgraves has quietly canceled three upcoming concerts, including the show that was supposed to launch her “Middle of Nowhere Tour.” With the North American leg scheduled to begin in late August, fans in Chicago, Boston, and Brooklyn received notifications that their concerts had been called off. The country singer has not publicly explained the cancellations, leaving disappointed ticket holders to speculate about what happened.
The unexpected changes come just days after Musgraves released a steamy music video for her song “Mexico Honey” and several months after she faced criticism over the sizing offered through her Walmart clothing collaboration.
5ZUMAPRESS.com / MEGA
Ticketmaster notified fans of the cancellations by email this week. The three affected shows are the August 20 concert in Chicago, the August 29 performance in Boston, and the September 2 stop in Brooklyn.
Chicago was originally slated to serve as the opening night of the North American tour. With that performance no longer happening, Musgraves will begin the run later than initially planned unless another date is added.
The timing drew more attention because the cancellations arrived shortly after the 37-year-old Grammy winner dropped her provocative “Mexico Honey” music video. Musgraves did not announce the changes through her own social media platforms or immediately offer fans an explanation.
As of the time of reporting, neither Musgraves nor her representatives had publicly revealed why the three concerts were canceled. It also remains unclear whether additional dates could be affected.
Some prospective concertgoers speculated online that low ticket sales may have motivated the decision. However, there has been no confirmation that ticket demand played any role in canceling the shows. Without an official statement, the reason remains unknown.
Musgraves was initially preparing to visit 25 cities across 29 North American dates. The tour was scheduled to begin in Chicago on August 20 before concluding with two nights in Seattle at the end of October.
Her touring plans also extend beyond North America. The “Slow Burn” singer is expected to travel to Australia in January 2027 before continuing to the United Kingdom the following month. Her U.K. itinerary includes one concert in Scotland and two performances in England.
Musgraves initially announced the “Middle of Nowhere Tour” in late April. Just over one week later, she revealed that additional performances had been added, making the sudden removal of three dates particularly unexpected.
The majority of the announced itinerary appears to be moving forward, but fans will likely be watching closely for any further updates.
The tour uncertainty arrives several months after Musgraves faced online criticism over the size range offered through her Kacey Lee clothing collection at Walmart. The collaboration with denim brand Lee featured more than 100 products spanning women’s and men’s fashion, swimwear, and accessories for pets.
Although the collection attracted attention for its affordable prices and Western-inspired designs, shoppers quickly noticed that many items did not offer inclusive sizing. Most tops reportedly stopped at XXL, while bottoms were generally available only through size 18.
The limited range frustrated shoppers who had hoped an extensive collection sold through a major retailer would provide more options for plus-size customers.
Social media creator and self-described “fat activist” Megan Ixim publicly criticized the collaboration. Ixim said she was disappointed to discover that plus-size customers could not purchase most extended sizes inside Walmart stores. Only select pieces appeared to be offered in larger sizes online.
According to listings on Walmart’s website, sizing beyond XXL was primarily limited to parts of the swimwear line. Certain bikini tops, bottoms, and one-piece swimsuits were available for delivery in 2X and 3X, but those expanded options did not appear to extend across most of the collection.
The sizing controversy and the unexplained concert cancellations are separate developments, with no indication that one influenced the other. Still, both have placed Musgraves under heightened scrutiny as she prepares to take her “Middle of Nowhere Tour” on the road.

Until the singer addresses the canceled dates, fans in Chicago, Boston, and Brooklyn are left without an explanation, and other ticket holders may be waiting to see whether the remainder of the tour continues as planned.
