Sly Stone, the pioneering funk-rock star and leader of the band Sly and the Family Stone, has died aged 82.

For decades, rock and metal festival line ups around the world have leaned heavily on legacy. Colossal acts forged during Monsters of Rock’s golden years have endured, reliably drawing massive crowds, but their days of anchoring major events appear to be numbered. As we anticipate the retirement of the old guard, the passing of the torch is not only inevitable — it’s already happening.

Lil Wayne has long circled the conversation around the greatest modern rappers and a massive reason for that is his lauded ‘Tha Carter’ series. Starting in 2004, these albums have carried a lot of weight, which made ‘VI’ one of 2025’s most anticipated releases, with many fans having hoped that the last entry — 2018’s sub-par ‘Tha Carter V’ — was just a blip. Sadly, it seems it was just the start of a trend.
