"Saturday Night Live" has canceled an appearance by a country singer scheduled for this weekend.

Here's what happened 👇👇👇 latimes.com/entertainment-…
Country star #MorganWallen was set to perform on an episode hosted by Bill Burr.

However, clips surfaced on social media showing Wallen partying in tightly packed crowds without a mask latimes.com/entertainment-…
“My actions this past weekend were pretty short-sighted, and they have obviously affected my long-term goals and my dreams,” he said in a video from his hotel room.

But there was another troubling aspect of the partying clips that circulated:

Wallen has seen a lot of success with his hit “7 Summers," which debuted atop Billboard’s Hot Country Songs chart latimes.com/entertainment-…
If Wallen looks familiar, that's because his Billboard chart performances aren't his first big appearances in music! 🎶🎵🎶🎵

Today would have been John Lennon's 80th birthday.

We're revisiting a 1980 article published weeks before his death.

Lennon talks about stress from the music industry and depression after separating from Yoko Ono latimes.com/entertainment/…
Lennon was known as the intellectual Beatle.

But Lennon revealed that even he believed he was headed for disaster before going into exile in 1975.

The pressure of delivering hits and advocacy was a heavy burden to bear latimes.com/entertainment/…
Lennon said his danger point was an 18-month “lost weekend” in the early 1970s.

Depressed by a separation from Ono, he spent time in LA on drugs and booze latimes.com/entertainment/… Image

Uber served CA users with a pop-up threatening that if voters failed to pass Prop 22, wait times & prices would increase, & drivers would lose their livelihoods.

To move forward, users had to tap the “confirm” button on the message.

@suhaunah reports: latimes.com/business/techn…
Prop 22 is a complicated and divisive initiative.

It represents gig economy companies’ efforts to avoid complying with AB 5, a CA law that requires they treat their workers as employees rather than independent contractors. latimes.com/business/techn…
Bankrolled heavily by Uber and Lyft, Prop 22 would carve out a new category of work for drivers, sparing the companies from paying for full benefits that employees receive. latimes.com/business/techn…
