The eleven announced dates kick off on April 23rd in Auburn, Ala. at the Jordan Hare Stadium and conclude on August 20th in East Rutherford, N.J. at the MetLife Stadium.
Chesney had the following to say about the trek, "People always want to know about the stadiums because it's a big show� a lot of music� and the kind of day people come together and celebrate friendship.
"We know a lot of people travel to these dates from all over, so to give them as much time as possible to get ready, I figured it'd be nice to get these out in front of our other shows! There could be a stadium date or two added, but for everyone who's asking, let's get next year started, right now." See the tour dates here.
"Perfect" is the group's fifth song to debut in the top 10, which is one more than the Fab Four. Although this is the fifth top 10 debut for 1D, "Perfect" is the second one from their forthcoming album Made in the AM, due out on Nov. 13.
The album's lead single "Drag Me Down" hit the charts at No. 3 when it was sent to radio back in August. One Direction may have bested The Beatles, but they still have captured the overall record. Find out who holds that here.
The lawyer pressed on, asking for specific names of notes. When Pharrell didn't answer Busch responded, "That's because you actually can't read musical notes, can you!?"
Earlier in 2015, the estate of Marvin Gaye won a lawsuit against Pharrell over similarities between 'Blurred Lines" -the Robin Thicke song produced by Pharrell-and Marvin Gaye's 'Got to Give It Up." The Gaye estate was initially awarded $7.4 million.
In the video, Pharrell admits to writing most of the lyrics and creating the production and the chorus ("blurred lines," "good girl," and "hey, hey, hey") to the song in question. When asked if he thinks the music is similar to Gaye's "Got to Give It Up," Pharrell answers clearly.
"I see when people say they feel that, I understand that," he says. "The truth of the matter is silk and rayon are two different things. They just feel the same."
Later, when further pressed about the similarities, he responded: "I did not go in the studio with the intention of making anything feel like, or to sound like, Marvin Gaye."

Watching the video on a flat screen, as seen above, offers an interesting experience but hardly as remarkable as when viewed on a smartphone or tablet with a clear plastic pyramid set atop the screen. The result is a truly 3-dimensional view of Gahan, viewable from all sides. Think of Disney's haunted mansion where Madame Leota's head mysteriously floats inside a crystal ball.
The mesmerizing visuals were created by Fourclops, a directorial team headed up by Eli Stomberg and Jeff Greco. The duo is known among record labels and music producers "for combining technology with video in interesting innovative and new ways," says Stomberg in an interview with Radio.com.
Although the visual trickery has been used by Disney, Tupac, Chief Keef and most memorably by Princess Leia, the difference is that now people can experience it at home with a mobile device.
"Our goal is to try to get as many people as possible to enjoy video in this new form," explains Greco. Read more and watch the video here.
Bradley was at the house where Brown was found in a bathtub unresponsive back in January. In the deposition, Bradley says Bobbi Kristina was known to abuse drug.
"She smoked marijuana, she probably smoked crack often and also did heroin," Bradley said in the deposition, as reported by People.

Strait had the following to say about the upcoming concert series, "I've missed stepping on stage and playing that first note�hearing the crowd sing in unison�there's just nothing like it. I'd be lying if I said it didn't feel good to know that the fans have missed me too."

Adele rarely discusses her personal life in much detail, but she did touch on motherhood, albeit briefly, admitting, 'It's f-- hard. I thought it would be easy. 'Everyone f-- does it, how hard can it be?' Ohhhhh� I had no idea. It is hard but it's phenomenal. It's the greatest thing I ever did. It used to be that my own world revolved around me, but now it has to revolve around him."
In the face of her massive successes, she's managed to stay grounded. If anything, fame is something she continues to be wary of because of how much it can change a person. "I'm just frightened of it, you know?" she says. "Frightened of it destroying me and it ruining me, and me getting lost and turning into some of the people that I love with my whole musical heart. I get frightened. And I get frightened for the people that I love, feeling like they've lost me.
"It's basically a bit like Stars In Their Eyes when you go into the smoke and you come out as someone else. I get worried of them looking at me going into the smoke and never coming out. It's a bit toxic, fame. I've got enough toxins in me body, I don't need any of that!" Read her views on social media here.
August Alsina borrows from two musical giants to set the emotional tone. He borrows the title from Jay Z's deeply personal track of the same name, and sings portions of The Isley Brothers' 1996 hit "Tears." Alsina sings, "I can't hold back my tears. Let me cry."
Judging from the pain he shares, he could definitely use a good crying session. Alsina discusses how trying to buy his mother's affection failed, not receiving as much love from his peers as he thought he would, and he even reveals how life's pressures caused him to think about suicide. Check out the new song and read more here.

The set, which was posted to Datpiff opens with P. Diddy talking about what he's offered the hip-hop community. The set contains production influences and performances from French's Coke Boys camp as well as Fetty's Zoo Gang team. There's also a feature from Chris Brown, who mellows out "Gansta's Way."
The Fetty-French connection hits as the trend of mixtape collaboration builds, following Drake and Future's What a Time to be Alive. But French says he was ahead of the trend and wants everyone to know he's always been up for team tapes.
In a response to a tweet from a fan who questioned the bandwagon effect of French and Fetty's Coke Zoo collabo, French was sure to set the record straight.
"I did 3 tapes with max b 5 years ago you been under a rock homeboy we started the wave," French said. Check to the video for "Freaky" and grab the link for the mixtape download here.

The new release is accompanied by a Bill Gaither-hosted TV special and is currently airing on various television networks and channels throughout November. See the broadcast schedule here.
Alongside fellow 2015 Inductees Jim Ed Brown and The Browns, and studio session great Grady Martin, The Oak Ridge Boys were feted with heartfelt testimonials and memorable performances of songs they made famous. The artists paying tribute varied widely in ages, backgrounds, and styles, which underscored the eclectic nature and crossover appeal of the musical contributions of the artists being honored.
"These men and women distinguished themselves through virtuosity, harmony and heart," said Jody Williams, BMI executive and trustee on the Country Music Hall of Fame and Museum's Board of Officers and Trustees. Williams filled in for the ceremony's usual host, museum CEO Kyle Young, whose mother died on October 13.
"They have made music that endures through decades," Williams continued. "Tonight, we honor them-respectfully, formally, and enthusiastically-as country music masters."
The inductions focus on paying tribute to the inductees, celebrating their stories with spoken and musical tributes and original videos that draw on photos, interviews and performances found in materials lovingly collected in the museum's Frist Library and Archive. The result conveys the special talents, personalities and unique stories of each new Hall of Fame member and underscores why each inductee deserves the prestigious honor.
For the musical portion of the tribute for The Oak Ridge Boys Jeff Hanna of the Nitty Gritty Dirt Band, an emergency replacement for Chris and Morgane Stapleton, whose travel plans were interrupted by flooding in Texas, performed "Leaving Louisiana in the Broad Daylight." The Rodney Crowell song had been a #1 hit in 1980 for the Oak Ridge Boys.
Next, Garth Brooks and Trisha Yearwood performed a delicate, touching version of the love song "I'll Be True to You," The Oak Ridge Boys' first #1 hit, in 1978. With Brooks on acoustic guitar as the only musical accompaniment, Yearwood sang two verses, with her husband on harmony. Brooks took the last verse, and Yearwood joined in for the final chorus. read more here.
