Pete Davidson

ATLANTA — Actor and stand-up comic Pete Davidson has canceled several shows over the next two weeks without explanation including his New Year’s Eve show at the Tabernacle in downtown Atlanta.

“No action is required to obtain a refund,” Live Nation said on its website. “It will be processed to the original method of payment used at time of purchase.”

The 30-year-old “Saturday Night Live” alum also nixed shows in New York City; San Antonio; Chattanooga, Tennessee; Pittsburgh; Louisville, Kentucky; and Milwaukee, Wisconsin.

Davidson’s representatives did not comment on the cancellations over the weekend.

Davidson was on “SNL” from 2014 until 2022 and hosted the season debut of the show after the writer’s strike ended last month. On the show, he did a pre-taped sketch playing off “Barbie” making fun of his drug problems, his dating life and being bipolar.

Ozzy Osbourne

Ozzy Osbourne still walks among us, contrary to some death hoax videos concerning the former Black Sabbath frontman.

The rocker, 75, took the opportunity on “The Osbournes” podcast this week to remind listeners he is very much alive after he saw his name on a list of recently deceased famous faces.

“They put it on that I died. … The thing on YouTube goes, ‘Celebrities who have died,’ and there’s a picture of me,” Ozzy told wife Sharon, daughter Kelly and son Jack.

The Grammy winner added that he’s “not dead.

“I’m not really dead. … Just a little flesh wound,” he said in a nod to a famous scene from “Monty Python and the Holy Grail.”

Kelly, 39, slammed the “rude” chatter, while 71-year-old Sharon said those fraudulently killing off her husband are “sick.”

“I don’t feel dead,” quipped Ozzy.

“You’re a ghost. This is the afterlife, sorry,” said Jack, 38.

“…I’m not dead. I’m not going any (expletive) where. And I’m gonna go and do some more gigs before I’m finished anyway,” Ozzy said.

Earlier this year, Ozzy canceled his already postponed European tour and announced he was done touring as a whole due to mobility issues. In 2020 he was injured in a “major” ATV accident. That same year, he revealed he had been diagnosed with Parkinson’s disease in 2003.

“Never would I have imagined that my touring days would have ended this way,” he said in February.

Months later, Ozzy’s health also forced him to pull out of an appearance at Power Trip, a three-day hard rock festival.

Bryan Tanaka, left, and Mariah Carey

Mariah Carey and Bryan Tanaka have split after 7 years together, the dancer confirmed Tuesday.

In a statement shared with The Associated Press and published to Tanaka's Instagram, Carey's backup dancer-turned-creative director and partner detailed their breakup.

“With mixed emotions, I share this personal update regarding my amicable separation from Mariah Carey after seven extraordinary years together,” he wrote. “Our decision to embark on different paths is mutual, and as we navigate these separate journeys, we do so with profound respect and an overwhelming sense of gratitude for the invaluable time we’ve shared. The memories we’ve created and the artistic collaborations are etched in my heart forever.”

“I eagerly anticipate continuing my journey, knowing my passion for inspiration, dance, and the creative arts will resonate in the unfolding chapters,” he continued.

Tanaka and Carey first met when Tanaka joined her 2006 The Adventures of Mimi tour as a backup dancer.

The “All I Want for Christmas is You” singer first confirmed their relationship to the AP in 2017.

“I’m just going to be like ‘I really don’t talk about my personal life.’ Because that’s what I used to do and it really worked for a minute, back, a while ago,” she said at the time, smiling. “I just don’t feel comfortable talking about my personal life. ... Me and my boyfriend don’t want to do that.”

Rumors of their split began popping up online last month, when fans noticed Tanaka did not join Carey on her Merry Christmas One and All! tour.

Carey has not released a public statement about the breakup.

A representative for Carey did not immediately respond to a request for comment from the AP.
