Last update: 10 hours ago

Haiti Violence, Community Grief: Hundreds attended a church funeral in Kenscoff for four victims of a brutal gang attack that killed 47, with mourners hearing gospel music and survivors accusing police of failing to stop the carnage.

Dolly Parton Aftershocks: The world continues to mourn Parton’s death at 80, with major tributes including a full Grand Ole Opry dedication—while Bill Maher faced backlash for insensitive jokes about global memorials. Tech + Music Jobs: Warner Music Group is expanding global tech operations with a new Bengaluru hub focused on engineering, data and AI. Royalties Courtroom Update: Jermaine Dupri has dropped his lawsuit against Sony Music over alleged unpaid producer royalties, saying the matter was resolved.
