LONDON ON A PRAYER
Prince Harry is almost done being a senior royal.
One thing he won’t be giving up? Hanging with his
buddy Jon Bon Jovi, who joined him at Abbey Road
for a session with a veterans choir.
Courtney Barnett’s Good Fight
Courtney Barnett had been planning to spend the winter writing songs, but she put that work aside in
January for a pair of benefit concerts for the devastating bush fires in Australia, followed by a show at Los
Angeles’ Palace Theatre (above) to support music education. “The good thing about music is people can
come together, and that shared energy is pointed in a positive direction,” she tells ROLLING STONE. “It doesn’t
alleviate things, but it’s a momentary relief and an inspiration to work harder and keep fighting.”Don’t Fear the Oyster!
Oysterhead, the prog-rock supergroup featuring Primus’ Les Claypool, Phish’s Trey Anastasio,
and the Police’s Stewart Copeland (from left), kicked off their first tour since 2001, in Broomfield,
Colorado. The show featured epic covers of the Police’s “Voices Inside My Head” and Phish’s
“46 Days,” plus originals like 2001’s “Shadow of a Man,” where Claypool wore a pig mask as
Anastasio went into slide-guitar space. The band is playing more dates this year.
