Sad news for American Idol winner Fantasia Barrino Taylor. According to TMZ, her nephew was shot and killed  in her hometown of North Carolina.

From TMZ:

According to law enforcement sources … the singer’s 18-year-old nephew died of multiple gunshot wounds Tuesday morning following an argument at a Greensboro, North Carolina residential complex that spilled out into the street.

Barrino posted the sad news on her Instagram Tuesday, saying … “Auntie is So Sorry Baby. RIP to my Oldest Nephew Please Pray for his Mother and my Brother & his Stepdad.” Tyquan, who went by T.W., was the son of Fantasia’s musician brother, Ricco.

Ricco tells TMZ … he’s completely devastated, because he didn’t get to see T.W. in the morning Tuesday like he usually does, and now he’s gone.

It’s been a rough stretch for Fantasia’s family … her brother Xavier has been in the hospital for months recovering from a critical motorcycle injury, as well.

Hold onto your leather jackets – the wildest ride of 2025 is here.

Steve Blacknell – TV face, radio voice, rock PR, and the man who dated Kate Bush – is dropping his bombshell memoir Tales From The Bedroom Wall on July 9th, and it is everything. The highs? Concorde with Phil Collins to Live Aid. MTV fame. Hanging with Alice Cooper, Lemmy, and David Cassidy – often in hot tubs or backstage chaos. The lows? Addiction. Broken hearts. A speedboat explosion!

His rollercoaster love life includes a marriage to iconic ‘60s groupie Catherine James, who once lived with Mick Jaggerand was Eric Clapton’s muse. But it’s not just name-dropping. Blacknell opens up about his bulimia, lost fortunes, and his long, winding path back to the love of his life, Maggie.

With a foreword from Bill Wyman and stories that read like a rockumentary on steroids, this memoir is as outrageous and addictive as the man himself.

Available July 9th from Old Treacle Press. Rock on.
