Welcome to The List,

Luke Combs is a busy guy these days…trying to come up with a name for his yet to be born baby AND has made a huge Announcement… His Fall Tour … “Yeah I’m announcing an arena tour this fall  “So. It’s going to be called The Middle of Somewhere Tour. A great name for a tour, just because of, you know, the people that I feel like we get to play music for”  The first leg of the tour will have Jordan Davis and Morgan Wade.. the Second half will include Lainey Wilson

”Cobra Kai” is back for Season 5 on September 9th.

Ben Affleck and Jennifer Lopez spent the weekend touring a $68 million Los Angeles mansion. The home has 12 bedrooms, 24 bathrooms and a massive pool THAT way I guess if there’s an argument, they can go to their respective zip codes in the house….

—–

9 months in and Blake Shelton and Gwen Stefani are having typical marital “discussions”.  A source tells OK magazine, Gwen decides what they’re going to have for dinner, she’s a vegetarian and Blake likes his meat and potatoes….and never squeezes the toothpaste from the bottom…ah…true love…

—–

Sam Hunt and Hannah Lee Fowler have reportedly reunited. While it was previously reported that the pair were set to divorce, they have since called it off,   She originally accused him of infidelity…and is pregnant with the pair’s first child.  Revealing on Country Countdown USA that they are having a baby girl and like Luke Combs is waiting to give her a name.

This weekend Kelsea Ballerini returned to Knoxville, TN and Central High School, where she attended her Freshman and Sophomore years for a reunion – with everything shut down last year, the 10 year reunion in 2021, became the 11 year reunion in 2022….Technically she didn’t graduate from there…she moved to Nashville to chase the dream.. but felt THIS was the place she had those friendships, crushes, music and heartbreak.  If you’re familiar with Kelsea and Kenny Chesney’s number-one hit “Half of My Hometown” you’re familiar with her move from Knoxville to Nashville.

Country singer and actor Mickey Gilley, known for launching the Urban Cowboy movement in Country music and hit songs including “Stand By Me,” “Room Full of Roses” and “Lonely Nights,” died Saturday, May 7th, in Branson, Missouri at the age of 86.

The List for Friday, July 11th 2025

Welcome to The List,

It’s been 40 years since Live Aid rocked the world—literally. Back on July 13, 1985, Wembley and JFK Stadiums tag-teamed a global concert watched by nearly 2 billion people. And now? CNN’s dropping a 4-part doc, and the UK is throwing it a full-blown birthday party. That’s right—Live Aid’s old enough to complain about back pain now!

-----

Ozzy Osbourne has officially hung up the bat wings. His last-ever concert—"Back to the Beginning"—went down July 5th in Birmingham with Black Sabbath and a parade of metal legends. It was epic, emotional, and charitable! When he sang “Mama I’m Coming Home,” even the devils in the mosh pit teared up.

-----

Jelly Roll clapped back HARD at people calling his wife a gold digger. He said, "She was a high-end escort when I met her—I was the broke one living in a van!" And honestly? The man married up! So maybe stop judging and start taking notes, huh?

-----

Parker McCollum was asked the most country thing he’s ever done… and buckle up: He said, “Rode a horse bareback. Naked. In Crocs.” I—what?! That is peak country chaos right there. And no, there are no plans for a repeat performance. His words, not mine.

You can catch The List, weekday afternoons at 4:20 with Jonathan Knight. Only on Iowa’s BEST Country KIX 101.1
