Greta Van Fleet has released a live video filmed in Nashville for their single “Heat Above.” The track comes from the band’s forthcoming album, “The Battle At Garden’s Gate” due out April 16th.
The band had the following to say about the new single, “‘Heat Above’ is theatrical, eloquent, and exaggerated. This is a dream in the clouds, a moment of peace in the storm. Thematically, we are dead center in the cult of Heaven, surreal, strange, alive and free.” Frontman Josh Kiszka adds, “There was a lot of self-evolution happening during the writing of this album that was prompted by experiences I had, experiences we all had.”

CBS has released two 30-second excerpts from Oprah With Meghan And Harry: A CBS Primetime Special which is set to air at 8pm EST on Sunday. Winfrey has said there are “no subjects off limits” of her highly-anticipated interview with the Duke and Duchess of Sussex.
The clips show Winfrey sitting opposite Meghan and Harry on the grounds of their California home in Montecito. In the first clip, Harry said he feared “history repeating itself” in a reference to the death of his mother, Diana, Princess of Wales. As he spoke of their decision to quit royal life and move to California, he told Winfrey: “I’m just really relieved and happy to be sitting here, talking to you, with my wife by my side, because I can’t begin to imagine what it must have been like for her, going through this process by herself, all those years ago. Because it has been unbelievably tough for the two of us, but at least we had each other.”
In the second excerpt, Harry says he is grateful to have had Meghan’s support throughout his exit from royal life, while also expressing admiration for what his mother had to endure under similar circumstances. Princess Diana was stripped of the Her Royal Highness title at the time of her divorce from the Prince of Wales in August 1996. She died in a car accident in Paris the following year.
The 90-minute CBS special will be the couple’s first sit-down interview together since their BBC engagement interview in November 2017.

While Nirvana‘sUnpluggedconcert from November 18, 1993 is often believed to be the band’s final show, the legendary group played another month of American concert dates, and performed in Europe in February the following year. Nirvana’s last concert actually took place on March 1st, 1994 in Munich, Germany, at Terminal Einz, an airplane hanger that fit 3,050 people. The band had to deal with technical issues, restarting “Come as You Are” over again when the power went out, and Cobain was experiencing severe vocal issues.
While cameras filmed the first few songs, but up until now no other audio has been heard from that last show. However audio of “Heart-Shaped Box,” the final song of the night, has been released which was the final song Kurt Cobain ever played in public. Curbain struggled through his performance, due to bronchitis and laryngitis issues. The last words uttered onstage were a simple,‘Well, thank you.’ Kurt’s struggles with addiction and ongoing health problems led to doctor’s orders to cancel the remainder of the band’s European tour, and on April5 Kurt Cobain’s body was discovered at his home in Lake Washington Boulevard, having died by suicide three days before at the age of 27.
