The Weeknd has settled his ongoing copyright infringement case. The singer, whose real name is Abel Tesfaye, and his co-writers were sued by Suniel Fox and Henry Strange in 2021 over the Weeknd's track Call Out My Name. Fox and Strange said the song had a substantially similar sound to their song named Vibeking. But now, according to Rolling Stone, the songwriter's attorneys filed legal documents that stated both parties have reached a settlement, and that they will convene in the future for a status report if the case has not already been dismissed.

And it's the reunion that has been teased for decades but could Oasis be set to finally get back together? Former frontman Liam Gallagher seems to think so as he tweeted in response to a fan about the possibility of the band reuniting, stating simply "it is happening." No further details have been shared or confirmed by Liam's brother Noel or their representatives, but we're keeping our fingers crossed that this is the green light. Although the brothers have had a very public feud over the years, Noel did state earlier this year that he would 'never say never' to bringing the Britpop sensation back together.
