Entertainment news is led by a pair of sudden music losses. Irish singer-songwriter Glen Hansard, the Oscar-winning force behind The Frames and the film Once, has died at 56 after a motorcycle crash near Dublin, while French electronic artist Kavinsky, whose “Nightcall” became inseparable from Drive, has died in Paris at 50 as authorities investigate the circumstances. Together, the deaths mark a sobering day for two very different but deeply influential corners of modern music. Elsewhere, BTS is making a pointed statement about awards politics, saying it will not submit for the 2027 Grammys after the Recording Academy created a new Asian pop category, arguing music should not be divided by language or region. And in lighter fare, Sony has unveiled the first trailer for Jumanji: Open World, reuniting Dwayne Johnson and the franchise cast for a finale that brings the game crashing into the real world.
