ROOKIES OF THE YEAR
Juice Wrld (below) threw the first pitch at a
Twins-White Sox game in the rapper’s
home town of Chicago. Selena Gomez (right)
also took the field, playing in a charity softball
game in Kansas City. Gomez recently told
Jimmy Fallon that she has finished her first LP
since 2015: “I’m just relieved. It took me four
years now to even feel at a good place with [it].”
FESTIVAL KILLERS
Brandon Flowers has called the Smiths one of his favorite bands, so he was
psyched during the Killers’ Glastonbury set to welcome “guitar hero Johnny
fuckin’ Marr” (right). Marr unleashed guitar fury on the Smiths’ “This Charming
Man,” before soloing on a glorious “Mr. Brightside.” The band also welcomed the
Pet Shop Boys onstage. Expect new Killers music soon: Flowers recently said
the band has been in a Utah studio, working on a new synth-influenced album,
which should be out by early 2020.Party in the U.K.
Glastonbury is one of the world’s largest music festivals, drawing
200,000 people to a farm in Wales. Headliners tend to go all-out,
and Miley Cyrus was no exception. Between her own hits, she
covered Amy Winehouse and Zeppelin, and brought out Lil Nas X
and her dad, Billy Ray Cyrus, for “Old Town Road.” “I ask the
universe every day, ‘Give me something that scares the fuck out
of me,’ ” she said. “Today’s that motherfucking day.”CLOCKWISE FROM TOP: SHIRLAINE FORREST/WIREIMAGE; JIM DYSON/GETTY IMAGES; STEPHEN LOVEKIN/SHUTTERSTOCK; DAVID BANKS/GETTY IMAGES
