Month: October 2022

Earlier this week, Fox Business contributor Scott Martin went viral after claiming that it cost him $28 dollars for lunch at Taco Bell. Martin was attempting to criticize the level of inflation under President Joe Biden, but instead, he found himself getting dragged on social media by people wondering how much food he ordered to rack up an almost $30 bill. Taco Bell food is still notoriously cheap as hell. What did the guy eat?

As “$28 of Taco Bell” went viral on Twitter, Martin eventually shared his lunch order, which would’ve been lower had he went with combo meals. Instead, he separately ordered a Burrito Supreme, Nachos Bellgrande, Nacho Cheese Doritos Locos Taco Supreme, Doritos Cheesy Gordita Crunch, and a large frozen Mountain Dew Baja Blast.

After catching wind of Martin’s Taco Bell debacle and seeing what he ordered, The Daily Show correspondent Roy Wood Jr. was understandably concerned. The comedian dropped a video asking everyone to pray for Martin and all of the “s**tting” he’ll be doing.

Via The Daily Show on Instagram:

You can’t be eating $28 of Taco Bell on a work day. I bet he called in today for Fox Business. You can’t do a live hit with $28 of Taco Bell in your stomach like that. Somebody check on that man! Like you gotta, what they call it, a wellness check. You gotta do a wellness check. Like when you ain’t heard from your loved one in a while, the police gotta roll by. I bet the police go by the house right now he be in there — s**tting.

Wood ended the video with a personal message for Martin and some friendly advice. “Scott, if you get this, I just want you to know that we care about you,” Wood said. “And we love you. And you gotta shift your weight to one a** cheek at a time on the toilet because otherwise your legs get numb and circulation get cut off.”

Wood then asked for everyone to leave a “Get Well” message for Martin in the comments, and The Daily Show fans did not disappoint.

Taylor Swift’s sprawling empire is built on Easter eggs. Swifties are searching for the next cleverly hidden foreshadowing at every turn, and the treasure map recently intersected with Charlie Puth. Fresh off the release of his long-awaited third album, Charlie, the 30-year-old pop maven visited The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon. He created a song using only a coffee mug, dished on performing with Halsey at the sweet sixteen party for Adam Sandler’s daughter, and was asked about a potential collaboration with Swift.

Fallon pointed toward Puth’s “Light Switch” video, where he painted a fence red and sent Swifties into a tizzy that it was a subtle hint that Puth would soon release a song with the Red mastermind.

“No,” Puth said. “I think we’ve spoken once. But that would be great.”

You can’t blame Swifties for getting their hopes up. Last month, Puth played an intimate New York City show and performed Swift hits “Teardrops On My Guitar,” “Fifteen” and “Blank Space” while dubbing her the “queen of these types of chords” and reminding people to listen to Charlie before Swift’s 10th studio album Midnights inevitably monopolizes the pop zeitgeist upon arrival next Friday (October 21).

While with Fallon, Puth also gave a medley performance of Charlie singles “Left And Right” and “Loser.” Watch that below, or watch his conversation with Fallon above.

Earlier this year, Pusha T claimed his first ever No. 1 album in the country with It’s Almost Dry. “We all can’t be number 1 at the same time, this week it’s mine,” the rapper said at the time as he finally got his flowers. The achievement was well-deserved, as the Pharrell Williams- and Kanye West-produced It’s Almost Dry is nothing short of a contemporary rap triumph as Push continues to make a valiant case as one of the best rappers on the planet — and easily one of the best performers.

So on Thursday night, the Virginia Beach rapper was beamed on TV screens across America when he performed “Just So You Remember” on Late Night With Seth Meyers, and good lord did he rise to the occasion. He stood on the stage by himself and viciously delivered captivating bar after bar on a song loaded with King Push’s signature cocaine raps: “Just so you remember who you dealin’ with. The purest snow we sellin’ white privilege. Designer drugs will turn n****** limitless. Designer clothes, these hoes losing innocence. The book of blow, just know I’m the Genesis.”

While Push says that elusive Clipse reunion is ultimately up to his brother No Malice, Pusha T continues to be an undeniable singular force.

I’ve always had to squint a bit to understand the appeal of the Halloween movies, and this latest one, Halloween Ends, playing in theaters and streaming on Peacock, is no different. Best I can come up with, Halloween taps into the fear of the unknowable, the idea that some Michael Myers character could make it his mission to kill you simply because he saw you standing by his house one day, like he did with Laurie Strode in the original.

Laurie, played by Jamie Lee Curtis, is back for this presumably final installment of the David Gordon Green/Danny McBride trilogy they started in 2018 with Halloween. Laurie is a grandmother now, living with Allyson (Andi Matichak), her now-grown granddaughter whose mother Karen (Judy Greer) Michael Myers killed in the last installment, Halloween Kills. This still in the town of Haddonfield, Illinois, where all the Halloween characters steadfastly refuse to move out of for some reason.

Allyson works as a nurse, and the Strodes are all kind of low-key town pariahs on account of being inexorably associated with the town’s most traumatic day. I’m not sure this really tracks, because if October 31st is Haddonfield’s 9/11, wouldn’t the Strodes be their pre-Trump Giuliani? Instead, they’re partly blamed for the trauma, for whatever reason. Anyway.

The town has another, even less low-key pariah in the form of Corey (Rohan Campbell), who accidentally killed a kid he was babysitting a few years back, which we saw in the film’s opening frame (its best scene). Even though this was all a terrible accident, no one really believes it, and Corey becomes an outcast.

One of the best, most “out there” plot conceits in Halloween Ends is that Corey’s chief bullies are a group of rich high school band nerds, led by a guido kid (Michael Barbieri) with a never-explained New Yawk accent, whose chief henchman has pale-dyed eyebrows, a truly disgusting mullet, and is played by (and this part I only just learned) a one-named singer/songwriter named Marteen. If horror movies are meant to tap into primal fears, you could do a lot worse than the fear of being menaced by local teens with inexplicable social mores and fashion. You can survive a knife attack but there’s no coming back from getting roasted by teens. Yikes!

Anyway, Laurie eventually notices that Allyson and Corey, these two sweet-faced 20-somethings alienated from their town, could both use a friend, and tries to play matchmaker. Which works… not so well at first, and then well, and then a little too well. To say victims make the best victimizers is true, but empathy isn’t a rewind button once the die is cast.

If Halloween was about the fear of the unknowable, externalized in the form of Michael Myers, Halloween Ends is about the unknowable evil that lurks within. It doesn’t feel like the most incisive commentary to point this out, seeing as how Laurie has a monologue in which she basically says this all outright. Halloween is also traditionally, intentionally un-“thinky,” to the point that it’s never going to belabor these themes. It’s always going to be more about the guy in the mask holding the knife. John Carpenter, who started the franchise, famously refuses to acknowledge that “elevated horror” is even a thing.

To the extent that even the schlockiest horror movie should have themes and allow the audience to assign their own metaphorical value the material, I understand what he’s saying. Yet it still feels to me (and has always felt) like Halloween falls in some awkward middle ground, eschewing the sometimes-didactic allegory of your A24 and Jordan Peele horror, but also lacking some of the schlocky panache of gorier 80s horror or something like Malignant.

Halloween Ends has some narrative grounding, and the theme of internalized evil in people that can’t quite be excised or negotiated with is a compelling riff on the themes of the original. Likewise, there are occasional scenes of gleeful gore and brutal kills to make you throw your popcorn in the air and/or chuckle stonededly. There’s a tasteful balance to all the things Halloween Ends is trying to be — a little thinky, a little schlocky, a little plotty.

But it also strikes me as a little too tasteful. This is a movie that’s just good enough at a handful of things without really being great at any one. The who’s-going-to-live, who’s-going-to-die of it is compelling enough, though never quite white knuckle intense. And while there is some thematic heft, it’s never explored quite deeply enough to leave you thinking about it after you leave the theater. The acting is solid from top to bottom, if never quite delicious.

In the end, we’re left with a(nother) Halloween movie that’s just watchable enough and mostly pretty fine. It’s perfectly of a piece with a franchise that seems to mean more to film history than it ever meant to me personally.

Vince Mancini is on Twitter. You can read more of his reviews here.

Bill Murray saying “no one will ever believe you” has taken on a more sinister tone based on recent stories. The actor reportedly straddled and kissed a “much younger” female production staffer without consent on the set of Aziz Ansari’s directorial debut, leading to production for the film being suspended. Actress Geena Davis, who worked with Murray on 1990’s Quick Change, also revealed that he screamed at her for being late and insisted on gifting her with a massage device known as The Thumper. “That was bad,” she told the Times. “The way he behaved at the first meeting… I should have walked out of that or profoundly defended myself, in which case I wouldn’t have got the part.”

The latest tale of Murray’s misconduct comes from Seth Green. After being asked on the Good Mythical Morning YouTube show who’s the rudest celebrity he’s ever met, the Family Guy and Robot Chicken star answered, “When I was nine years old, I did a spot on Saturday Night Live when Mary Gross was one of the on-the-scene anchor people for the news, and she did a whole thing about what kids think about the Christmas holiday.”

Before the sketch was filmed, Green was hanging out in the green room, where he asked then-SNL cast member Eddie Murphy if he could change the channel on the TV. Murphy said it was fine, but that week’s host wasn’t so accommodating.

“[Murray] saw me sitting on the arm of this chair and made a big fuss about me being in his seat,” Green said. “And I was like, ‘That is absurd. I am sitting on the arm of this couch. There are several lengths of this sofa. Kindly eff off.’ And he was like, ‘That’s my chair.’” Green’s mom suggested that her son should maybe move for Murray, but Green was “indignant” about “this power play” to a literal child.

“He picked me up by my ankles… Held me upside down… He dangled me over a trash can and he was like, ‘The trash goes in the trash can.’ And I was screaming, and I swung my arms, flailed wildly, full contact with his balls. He dropped me in the trash can, the trash can falls over. I was horrified. I ran away, hid under the table in my dressing room, and just cried.”

Green, who never told this story until now, hasn’t seen Murray since. But he still remembers what it’s like to be held upside down by him.

“So, I couldn’t work out today,” Wonho casually says with a chuckle, as we wrap up a 40-minute conversation. “I tried to put it in between my schedule today, but I didn’t have time. So, I’m planning to do it after the Zoom calls.”

If you don’t know Wonho, it’s very Wonho of him to say that. After all, he is K-Pop’s Adonis — known to be an avid gym rat and a walking thirst trap to many. But beyond the strong looks, chiseled muscles and perfectly toned figure, Wonho’s thoughts on his music and work on this call are only a small, refreshing glimpse to how simple yet thoroughly eloquent he can be.

Seated in a conference room, dressed in a grungy black and white striped long sleeve, and occasionally shifting his gaze from the camera to elsewhere, out of frame — to what seems to be my face projected on a television screen, Wonho’s getup coincides with the sounds of his new lead single “Don’t Regret,” off of his single album Bittersweet. The song takes a shift from his usual pop, dance and electric sounds and leans toward a mesh of rock and ballad. Nonetheless, the “Open Mind” singer is in a good mood to take on this night-long press junket. And it has only just begun.

But he’s used to it by now, considering he’s been in the industry for over seven years. Not to mention, just successfully ended his first-ever European tour last month. (“Besides working out, I like sightseeing the streets of the particular place when flying abroad.”) His tone and tenor contains a sense of excitement, knowing he has new music to release just five days away.

Bittersweet is the name of his newest single album, and it contains two tracks, “No Regret” and “On & On,” both co-written by him. Ahead of the release, Uproxx got a chance to catch up with Wonho to discuss the album, the process and how it feels to be standing strong in the K-pop industry.

In the process of going from tour to preparing for your comeback, how do you do it all?

When it comes to my work schedule, the distribution of the work schedule is always well-coordinated by our company. For example, I came back to Korea and I practiced and then right before this interview, I had to film the promo – those liners and content and other Korean content/video contents that I had to shoot. Now, I’m on Zoom right now.

What made you want to name it Bittersweet?

So, it’s just about my story. I just wanted to tell my story – put my story in it. I was thinking of what kind of performances I can show myself while being trendy so I tried to incorporate those too in my mind.

Compared to your last releases, “Don’t Regret,” is more of a rock ballad, how did this come about?

So, I’ve always loved the genre of rock and I really enjoy it more these days because I know that rock is pretty trendy and famous in the music industry. I’m enjoying the music of 5 Seconds of Summer and Fall Out Boy at the moment!

Would you say “Don’t Regret,” is a personal motto you follow?

It’s a saying to myself that makes me look at the person rather than dwelling on the past itself. And it’s like a new challenge, from now on, to move forward as an artist and as a person too.

So, “Don’t Regret” is more of celebrating one’s self and “On & On” is more of moving on?

I would say it depends on how the listener and you interpret it? It is one of the themes that the song (“Don’t Regret”) has. Different people perceive it so I’m very happy that you interpreted it a particular way. It’s another interesting thing to me and you’re right on track about “On & On,” it’s talking about the past, moving forward.

And speaking of “On & On,” I actually made this song thinking about YUNHWAY from the beginning. I contacted her saying I really wanted her to do a collaboration with me. And the process itself was very smooth. The idea just came in, then the speed of the whole process of making this song was very quick.

What would you say is the best part of preparing for this release overall then?

I was very happy that I could give out the songs with this – the lyrics itself and super happy that I’m able to give out 2 songs to my fans. Before the release, so my fans wouldn’t know it right away but once they hear the song and see the lyrics, I’m pretty sure they will be happy.

For the lead track, I usually have the melody and the song itself. And I would often have the basic ideation of the lyrics so I would put it into the song itself that I needed first.

Any struggles?

When it comes to using different words or unique phrases that I wouldn’t often use, I find it kind of difficult. I still have a lot to say, still have a lot to share. It’s one of my agonies and I keep thinking to myself how would I express this in my music?

Since you just talked about expressing, you’ve been replying to your fans a lot on Twitter. How important is communication to you as an artist?

Wonho: If I didn’t have that, there’s no point in being an artist for me. I love hearing phrases like “I will always be by your side, Wonho.” Those are the most memorable notes I keep from my fans and having it brings me full support, strength, and energy. One of the driving motivations for me.

Every time you make a comeback, is there even any pressure or no? Or is it gone because you’re such a pro now?

Whenever I make my comeback, I wonder if this is like a new challenge or if this is the right challenge for me. But when I’m in front of my fans, giving a new song, I really have this confidence in my mind that WENEE will like this.

Do you feel like you have more to prove of yourself than what’s already out there from you?

There’s nothing to prove more. I think I’ve shown enough of what song, what dance, and what stage I can show to my fans. But one of the things is how to prove my love towards WENEE.

Your Instagram bio changed quite a bit. You’ve listed dates of the comeback and then a line that says “the last stop of one’s journey.” What does that mean?

My Instagram profile, I put it as a travel guide for myself. It’s my journey with my fans, sharing my journey through photos taken and from abroad. And it’s similar to my album, it’s sharing my sole journey with the fans. The meaning of “the last stop of one’s journey” would mean that with this album, it’s one of the – I’m putting a conclusion for my first journey and I’m ready to make another move forward.

In this new chapter of my journey, I am thinking about making my own world with WENEE, just WENEE and myself. And making new things, facing new challenges with WENEE.

Because you’re in your seventh year in the industry, considered a legend, what would you like to be remembered as?

So, I want to be remembered as a comfortable person. Someone who can reach out very easily and you can easily come and talk to me. Share stories.

Now, if you were in my position, what would you ask yourself?

“Are you happy right now?” I would say, “Yeah.”

There’s actually a line in “Don’t Regret,” where you sing “‘cause I’m happier than ever in this moment, I have no regrets.” So why are you happy with where you’re at right now?

There’s three things to mention. One of them is that I’m super happy that I’m doing well as a singer and artist. Second of all, I’m happy that I’m able to eat my favorite food — ramen and frozen yogurt — and learn and taste other delicious food. And third, I’m happy being on the Zoom call with Lai.

After this, what’s to come? Anything you want to say? Speak now or forever hold your peace.

My biggest happiness is having more and more songs in the world. So I would just like to say please look forward to what’s more to come and continue to support and wait for me.

Thank you so much for reading this article, my WEENEES. I hope we can have a great time together when I come back again. Please look forward to me, love me, and please keep your attention on me. So maybe next time we can do another Zoom call?

After getting into it with Latto on Twitter over her supposed shade of the younger rapper, Nicki Minaj has found herself being confronted by her own old tweets and upstart behavior at the outset of her career. Fans took some of Nicki’s responses to Latto and turned them around on her, reminding her of her own missteps and transgressions — especially the ones that seemed to contradict her defenses of herself.

One fan resurrected an old Nicki tweet that read “Y’all don’t feel corny when you post a private dm or text someone sent you?” after Nicki did just that to deny Latto’s claims that she tried to resolve the issue out of the public eye. “Also Nicki Minaj once said this,” the fan (a Cardi stan, it should be noted) wrote. “I guess she’s corny for showing the world a private dm between her a Latto. She’s acting like an entitled, spoiled brat over a Grammy submission.”

In another tweet, a fan took issue with Nicki characterizing Latto as “a Karen” (a tasteless shot at Latto’s biracial heritage, for which the younger rapper has been critiqued in the past) after “bullying” another performer in defense of her “Boyz” collaborator Jesy Nelson of Little Mix, who was accused of “blackfishing” over her general presentation.

Meanwhile, good old @DearBelcalis pointed out another discrepancy in Nicki’s defense when she flamed Latto for saying she was older than her mother (i.e. too old to be throwing a tantrum on Twitter over her Grammy Award category). “Age shaming when you look like YOU the one pushing 40,” she sneered at Latto. “Am I having a fever dream?” wondered @DearBelcalis. “Nicki Minaj crying about age shaming like she didn’t do that to Lil Kim? Everything she did to Kim coming back to her 10 fold.”

Finally, in a truly low blow, another fan resurfaced an old Nicki Minaj tweet declaring “people who abuse children should be stoned to death in public,” replying, “This you mama???” The implication, of course, was obvious. Nicki has been associated with abuse for the past few years after her brother was found guilty of predatory sexual assault against a child and endangering the welfare of a child in 2017, receiving a 25-year sentence in 2020. It doesn’t help that her husband, Kenneth Petty, is on the sex offenders’ registry and was recently sentenced to a year of house arrest for failing to update his address. Nicki was accused of helping him to harass his 1995 rape victim to change her testimony and faces a lawsuit.

Whether Nicki is right or wrong in her comparisons to Latto, she’s seeing some of her past words boomerang right around to hit her in the face. Will it make her a little less catty in the future? The signs point to “no,” but with so many female rappers flourishing these days, the good news is there are plenty of options for fans of women rapping to listen to.

Marshmello featured on Juice WRLD’s Legends Never Die, his first posthumous album from July 2020, with the eerie track “Come & Go” and “Hate The Other Side” featuring The Kid Laroi and Polo G. This June, the enigmatic DJ and producer teased more unreleased music was on the way.

“We made a ton of music together. In person. All the time,” Marshmello told Z100 New York. “We made a bunch of music, … and they’re gonna see the light of day.”

Today (October 14), Marshmello made good on that promise with the ethereal single “Bye Bye.” The Stripmall-directed music video follows a teenager into an abandoned arcade, where he spots a “Bye Bye” video game. He puts a quarter in, and the machine comes to life — including an animated Juice singing the chorus, “I’m out of pills / You’re out of lies / It stays dark outside / Even when it’s daytime / Like, bye-bye.” According to Marshmello’s statement via press release, “Bye Bye” was made the night he met Juice.

The verse features a reference to Percocet, which is especially heartbreaking because Juice (real name Jarad Higgins) died from an accidental overdose of oxycodone and codeine on December 8, 2019. Lil Bibby later claimed that the 21-year-old emo-rap star had agreed to enter rehab shortly before his death.

“My main thing with everything that me and Juice did is I’m keeping it the same way it was when he was alive and we were both sitting there, like, ‘We like this,’” Marshmello added during his Z100 New York appearance, calling Juice “probably the most talented person I’ve ever met.” He added, “I’m not changing it. I’m not remixing it. I’m adding stuff. No, I’m just keeping it that same way. … What we both agreed on in the studio, we like this, that’s what’s gonna come out.”

Legends Never Die hit No. 1 on the Billboard albums chart. Fighting Demons, Juice’s second posthumous album, dropped last December around the release of the HBO documentary Juice WRLD: Into The Abyss. The latest album included collaborative tracks with Justin Bieber, Polo G, Suga from BTS, and Trippie Redd.

Watch the video for “Bye Bye” above.

The Discovery show “MythBusters” delighted investigative junkies and movie buffs alike in the years following its launch in the early 2000s. The stunt-filled show featured special effects experts Adam Savage and Jamie Hyneman testing out the validity of everything from duct tape islands to mechanical sharks using scientific methods.

Back in 2007, 39-year-old John Galvan was 21 years into serving a life sentence for a crime he didn’t commit, when he caught a rerun of “MythBusters” on the prison television.

The episode, “Hollywood on Trial,” which originally aired in 2005, shows Hyneman and Savage failing to light a pool of gasoline using a cigarette—a classic action film trope.

---

In September 1986, a fire broke out in a two-flat apartment building in southwest Chicago, killing two brothers—one of whom was suspected to be involved in a gang called the Latin Kings. Their siblings managed to escape and told police that a female neighbor had threatened to burn the building down as retaliation for her own brother’s death, an act supposedly committed by the gang.

The woman denied involvement and instead pointed the blame at Galvan, along with other neighbors interviewed by the police. Although Galvan had been asleep at his grandmother’s the night of the fire, he had no other evidence proving his innocence, and was arrested. He was only 18 years old.

Using violence, torture and deception tactics (which remain legal in 46 states), Detective Victor Switski eventually coerced Galvan into signing a confession after threatening that he could face the death penalty and end up “laying next to” his late father.

Galvan’s signed statement claimed he had started the fire by throwing a bottle filled with gasoline at the building and then tossing a cigarette into the pool of gasoline on the porch to ignite it. Which, again, is scientifically impossible.

Galvan immediately called his lawyer Tara Thompson, who had serendipitously been watching the same episode. Thompson and Galvan had been working on his third post-conviction petition, and both were thrilled to have stumbled upon some compelling evidence in the most unlikely of places.

“I remember I was excited, I was extremely happy because that just added to the other things that were coming together at that time. I felt like finally this is starting to all come out,” Galvan recalled.

Thompson added, “It was honestly shocking to me … I feel like all of us have seen movies — like Payback is a famous one — where they light the gasoline in the street with a cigarette and a car explodes, and I really had never given much thought to whether or not that might be real.”

“When I watched this MythBusters episode, as a lawyer, it made me realize that there are things you have to look deeper into — you can’t assume that you understand the science until you’ve looked into it,” she added.

The show’s findings were echoed by experiments conducted by the U.S. Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives (ATF). It made more than 2,000 attempts to ignite gasoline with a cigarette under various conditions and every attempt failed.

It wouldn’t be until 2017 that Galvan got his evidentiary hearing on his post-conviction claims. Thompson not only presented their findings, but also seven witnesses—including those who attested to also being tortured by the same detective who had interrogated Galvan, and an arson expert who testified that what Galvan falsely confessed to was scientifically impossible.

Despite the overwhelming evidence, prosecutors still denied that the science was correct.

“Even then, they really did not want to accept that this was not possible,” Ms. Thompson recalled. “I find that very telling about the state of science and the law … that these things that we probably should accept as true in the legal space, the system does not always want to accept.”

Galvan would have to wait until 2022—and after several appeals—to gain his freedom. He was exonerated largely based on the fact that he was abused into involuntarily signing his confession, rather than any changes to the science of the case.

Rebecca Brown, director of policy for the Innocence Project, says it speaks to “the critical importance of establishing mechanisms for people to get back into court when science changes or evolves, or when experts repudiate past testimony.”

“A ‘change-in-science’ statute here would have allowed for a presentation reflecting those changes in arson science and could have likely expedited Mr. Galvan’s exoneration,” she explained.

Adjusting to a new life outside the prison walls after 35 years has been no easy task, but Galvan is nonetheless taking his newfound freedom in stride. He’s most looking forward to having his own space to call home and getting back to drawing and painting. If you would like to support Galvan, check out his Amazon wish list.

It is truly a joyous time to be a Blink-182 fan: Tom DeLonge recently rejoined the group, they just dropped a new video for “Edging,” they have a new album on the way, and they’re going on a world tour starting next year. When it comes to that tour, though, it’s giving some fans headaches due to the frustrating (and expensive) process of buying tickets. It’s been such an issue, in fact, that Mark Hoppus himself addressed it.

In a message shared on his Discord server yesterday (October 13), Hoppus wrote, “Yes I understand that the ticketing can be frustrating. I bought tickets for two of our shows myself just to see what the experience was like. I had tickets yoinked from my cart and the whole thing crash out. Dynamic pricing. I’m not in charge of it. It’s meant to discourage scalpers. We’re trying to bring you the best possible show for the best price. This is a tour celebrating new music and the band getting back together. Thank you for your enthusiasm and I hope to see all of you at the shows.”

Fans have taken to social media to share their thoughts on the situation, so check out some reactions below.
