Cuchi-Cuchi queen Charo will never forget the day husband Kjell Rasten shot himself behind their Beverly Hills home in February 2019. During a recent appearance on The Talk, she recalled the events leading up to Kjell’s tragic suicide at age 78 and what it was like for her to discover his lifeless body. He was “the best husband, the best father, the best companion,” Charo said, but admitted she had “no clue, no clue at all” he wanted to take his own life.

Just about a year after moving to its current location, Sound Conservatory in downtown Rock Island is in danger of shutting down unless it can pay for a $250,000 roof replacement.

Ever since country radio first got to know the superstar with the 2007 single "All My Friends Say," Bryan has been lighting up the genre with playful, good-timing singalongs and earnest and wholesome ballads. He's put out some of the saddest country songs of the past 15 years, but he's also released some of the catchiest party tracks.

Heartbreaking. Valerie Harper sadly died at age 80 on Friday, August 30, after a lengthy battle with brain cancer, Closer can confirm. The beloved actress — best known for her role as Rhoda Morgenstern on The Mary Tyler Moore Show and its spinoff Rhoda — passed away at 10:06 a.m. this morning. Valerie’s fight against the incurable disease first began when she was diagnosed with leptomeningeal carcinomatosis in 2013. The Broadway star — who was told she had only three months to live at the time — blew the expectations out of the water after surviving over six more years than they originally thought.

The economic development organization Grow Clinton is putting its money where its mouth is for the June 8-10, 2023 country music festival, Tailgate N’ Tallboys.
