William Shatner is officially going metal…because apparently retirement is for people without a spaceship. The 94 year old icon is releasing a heavy metal album featuring covers of Black Sabbath, Iron Maiden, and Judas Priest, plus original songs with 35 metal legends. He says metal is where imagination gets loud, which explains a lot about Captain Kirk. There’s nothing more metal than a man eligible for social security since Nixon.

Jelly Roll is officially becoming a member of the Grand Ole Opry on March 10th, and Lainey Wilson will be there to welcome him in. He first found out back in December when Craig Morgan surprised him with the invitation, and now Craig will perform at the induction too.

Kane Brown’s on Broadway will feature a full restaurant, bar, and live music, which basically guarantees fans will spend money while singing his songs badly. Every country star gets a bar eventually, it’s practically a rite of passage. At this point, Nashville Broadway is less a street and more a country music theme park.
