Wilson, who said she will be undergoing “preventative chemotherapy,” posted on social media: “I recently underwent an operation to remove something that, as it turns out, was cancerous. The operation was successful & I’m feel great but my doctors are now advising me to undergo a course of preventative chemotherapy & I’ve decided to do it. And so my doctors are instructing me to take the rest of the year away from the stage in order to fully recover. To the ticket buyers, I really do wish we could do these gigs. Please know that I absolutely plan to be back on stage in 2025. My team is getting those details sorted & we’ll let you know the plan as soon as we can.  Thank you for all the support. This is merely a pause. I’ve much more to sing.”

Wilson, 74, ended her post with: “Respectfully, this is the last public statement I’d like to make on the matter.”

Wilson’s cancer announcement comes weeks after she and her sister Nancy, 70, announced the cancellation of a string of June and July concerts in Europe (which had bee scheduled from June 20th through July 12th, featuring Squeeze) while Wilson underwent a medical procedure. At the time, the band cited that the singer had to have “a time-sensitive but routine procedure for which the minimum recovery time is six weeks.”  Cheap Trick was set to support the dates with Jason Bonham’s Led Zeppelin Evening and Bachman Turner Overdrive featuring Randy Bachman playing select stops.

Small plane crash kills 5 Georgia family members en route home from Cooperstown baseball tournament

Piper Malibu Mirage is taxiing at the airport Saint Gallen Altenrhein in Switzerland 10.7.2020

New York State police confirmed on Monday that five members from the same metro-Atlanta family died in a plane crash on their way home from a baseball tournament in upstate New York. The family members were returning from a baseball tournament in Cooperstown, N.Y., home of the National Baseball Hall of Fame and Museum.

New York State Police responded to a plane crash in Masonville, New York (90 miles south of Syracuse, N.Y.) on Sunday afternoon at approximately 2 p.m., and found the bodies of five occupants in the wreckage of a Piper Malibu Mirage.  The plane had departed from Albert S. Nader Regional Airport in Oneonta and was headed to Charleston, W.Va., for refueling and was schedule to continue from there to Cobb County International Airport in Georgia.

New York State police said in a statement: “A multi-agency effort search of the area, with the utilization of drones, ATVs and helicopters, led to the discovery of debris and ultimately to the downed aircraft.” Search teams found the bodies of five passengers in the wreckage.

Police later identified the victims as family members who hailed from Georgia: 76-year-old Roger Beggs (assumed to be the pilot), 43-year-old Laura Van Epps, 42-year-old Ryan Van Epps, 12-year-old James R. Van Epps and 10-year-old Harrison Van Epps. According to records obtained by the Atlanta Journal Constitution, the family lived in Alpharetta, GA.

NYSP has not said what caused the plane to crash; Georgia Gov. Brian Kemp wrote in a statement: “As we learn of this tragic news, please join Marty, the girls, and me in praying for the loved ones of the Beggs and VanEpps families. We offer our deepest condolences to all who knew and loved them,”

The New York State Police Bureau of Criminal of Investigation, Collision Reconstruction Unit, and Forensic Identification Unit are working with the Federal Aviation Administration and National Transportation Board to determine the cause of the crash.

Supreme Court rules that Donald Trump is partially immune from prosecution

Donald Trump speaks at CPAC about his plan for defeating current President Joe Biden in November. NATIONAL HARBOR^ MD^ USA- February 24^ 2024

On Monday, July 1, the Supreme Court deemed that Donald Trump is partially immune from his 2020 election subversion charges. The Court said “official” acts taken by a president are protected, but not steps he took as a candidate.

In a 6-3 ruling along ideological lines, the court ruled that Trump can be tried for any of his efforts to overturn his 2020 loss that were not taken in his official capacity. They ruled against Trump’s claim that he enjoys immunity from prosecution as a whole, but said that he is absolutely immune from being charged for “official” presidential acts.

Chief Justice John Roberts wrote for the 6-3 majority: “The parties before us do not dispute that a former President can be subject to criminal prosecution for unofficial acts committed while in office. They also agree that some of the conduct described in the indictment includes actions taken by Trump in his unofficial capacity.”.

The majority asserted that there should be a clearer distinction between official presidential acts and private acts that happen to be done by a president, with the court’s syllabus reading: “The President enjoys no immunity for his unofficial acts, and not everything the President does is official. The President is not above the law. But under our system of separated powers, the President may not be prosecuted for exercising his core constitutional powers, and he is entitled to at least presumptive immunity from prosecution for his official acts.”. The decision brings the case back down to a lower court, which must now figure out whether any of the allegations in the Jan. 6 case fall under the category of “unofficial” acts, and whether a fair Jan. 6 trial could move forward with the Supreme Court’s ideology in mind.

On Truth Social, Trump called the decision a “BIG WIN FOR OUR CONSTITUTION AND DEMOCRACY.”

Simone Biles docuseries ‘Rising’ to begin streaming ahead of Paris Olympics on July 17

Simone Biles arrives for the In Style Awards on November 15^ 2021 in Los Angeles^ CA. LOS ANGELES - NOV 15

Netflix released the trailer for “Simone Biles: Rising” and shared that the four-part docuseries will begin streaming July 17, nine days before the Opening Ceremony at the Paris Olympic Games. Biles posted the teaser trailer on X, along with the caption: “can’t wait for y’all to see 👀✨🤍🎬”

‘Rising’ offers a look at Biles’ career after withdrawing from the 2020 Tokyo Olympics after a case of “the twisties”(causing her to lose her sense of where she was in the air). Biles was expected to win multiple gold medals in Tokyo, including a second consecutive all-around title that would cement her GOAT status. But after mental health issues that worsened because of the isolating COVID restrictions, she withdrew from most of the competition.

The docuseries focuses on how she worked through her mental health struggles, and got back on track.   As Biles says in the 2-minute trailer: “I get to write my own ending.” Rio teammate Aly Raisman, who remains close with Biles, is also featured in the docuseries, and shared: “I know that she’s expected to win all the gold medals, but even the fact she’s trying to come back is really amazing.”

Biles, 27, just qualified for her spot on the U.S. Women’s Olympic gymnastics team after the final night of the Olympic trials on Sunday in Minneapolis, and told reporters at a press conference: “I think everybody probably looks at the team as, ‘OK, they went to Tokyo and this, this and this happened, and what are they going to do here in Paris?’ But for us, I know we’re stronger than what we showed in Tokyo. So, I think it has to be for us because it can’t be for anybody else, because that’s not why we do it. We do it for ourselves and the love for the sport and the love for representing the U.S. So, we’re gonna go out there and we’re gonna do our best … This is definitely our redemption tour. I feel like we all have more to give.”  Biles will be joined by Olympic teammates Suni Lee, Jade Carey and Jordan Chiles (with whom she was part of the 2020 team) as well as newcomer Hezly Rivera.

All four episodes will stream on Netflix on the same day, July 17. Take a look at the trailer for ‘Simone Biles: Rising’ – here.
