’68, the boundary-pushing noise rock duo led by Josh Scogin, are preparing to bid farewell. Having just wrapped their fifth studio album earlier this month, the band has now revealed the dates for their farewell tour, a final hurrah for their devoted fanbase. Select shows will feature special guests Derek Zanetti and Nate Bergman, adding a unique touch to the closing run.
The tour culminates on June 20 in Atlanta, Georgia, which the band has officially designated as their “very last show.” For fans, this marks a bittersweet milestone, a chance to see the duo deliver their signature chaotic energy one final time.
Rumors immediately swirled that Scogin might be stepping into the lead vocal role for metalcore supergroup Better Lovers, following his work with ’68. However, the frontman addressed the speculation directly in the comments of the farewell tour announcement, putting those hopes to rest.
The tour kicks off on May 13 at The Conduit in Orlando, FL and wraps up on June 20 at the Masquerade in Atlanta, GA. Get your tickets here.

The bracket has been released, and the 2026 Big East Tournament — one of the most exciting events in all of sports — tips off on Wednesday in New York. St. John’s will be the No. 1 seed in this week’s tournament after clinching the outright league title during the final weekend of the regular season. After the Red Storm took care of business against Seton Hall in their final game and UConn was upset by Marquette, it opened the door for the reigning Big East Tournament champions to earn the top seed.
UConn finished second in the Big East standings and will be the No. 2 seed. Villanova, led by first-year coach Kevin Willard, will be the No. 3 seed. Seton Hall is the No. 4 seed and will face No. 5 seed Creighton in the quarterfinals. The top five teams in the Big East standings all received a first-round bye.
Entering the weekend, only three teams (St. John’s, UConn and Villanova) were in CBS Sports’ latest Bracketology projections. Seton Hall is one of the teams on the outside looking in heading into the final week of the season and will need a strong showing to potentially get back into the conversation to receive an at-large berth.
The first round of the Big East Tournament begins Wednesday with three games on the slate. No. 9 seed Providence will face No. 8 seed Butler in the opening game of the tournament. After that game ends, No. 7 seed Marquette will face No. 10 seed Xavier.
No. 11 seed Georgetown vs. No. 6 seed DePaul is the final game of the first round.

Country singer Billy Gilman revealed this mother Frances G. Gilman died earlier this week. She is remembered for her “warmth, humor and boundless generosity.”
Frances Gilman leaves behind two sons and two grandsons who “brought her endless joy.” She also leaves behind husband William Gilman Jr., Billy’s father.
Gilman is known for two Top 40 hits from 2000, “One Voice” and “Oklahoma.”
He was just 11 years old when “One Voice” hit, making him the youngest artist ever with a Top 40 country song.
An obituary at the Avery Funeral Home website (Hope Valley, R.I.) makes special note of Fran Gilman’s love of family and animals. Her dogs Elvira, Ginny, RJ and Dallas are described as her most beloved companions. She was also a member of the Quarter Horse Association, winning nearly 80 awards for showing them.
Gilman shared a similar sentiment on Facebook. On Tuesday, he revealed his mother had died with two photos and a video that she’d be proud of.
“While my heart is full it is and will be forever broken,” he writes. “Love you forever, my other half.”
It’s clear Fran Gilman touched those in her son’s professional life as well. Taking to Instagram, the singer’s manager talked about losing her best friend.
“Very early this morning, I lost the warmest, most loving, giving, and best friend anyone could ever ask for in 30 years: Fran Gilman, my precious Billy Gilman’s mom,” Angela Bacari writes.
“It was sudden and unexpected. The sadness we all feel — Billy’s dad, brother Colin, and family — is beyond words. I will treasure all the many fun and amazing memories through our years together.”
Beyond it being sudden, no cause of death was shared.
Remembering the Country Stars Who Died in 2026
So far in 2026, country fans have mourned the deaths of a few of their favorite musicians and other large-looming figures of pop culture. Keep reading to remember the singers, musicians, actors and other notable figures we’ve lost so far this year.
The company expects sales in 2026 to be flat to up 1.5%, a turnaround from a 2.5% decrease in revenue last year, as it moves into the next phase of its turnaround plan.
MADRID — In the first half, as Tottenham Hotspur imploded and Atlético Madrid joyfully took advantage, there was a feeling of disbelief at the Metropolitano. Even the most optimistic Atlético fan couldn’t have dreamed of this: 1-0 up after six minutes. 2-0 up after 14 minutes. 3-0 up after 15 minutes. 4-0 up after 22 minutes.
Atlético have had some great results this season at home. They beat Real Madrid 5-2 in the derby in September, and they thrashed Barcelona 4-0 here last month in the Copa del Rey. But this is the UEFA Champions League, in a last-16 tie against Premier League opposition: a Spurs team that — inexplicably, looking back — finished fourth in the league phase.
And here Atlético were, capitalizing on self-inflicted Spurs mistake after mistake, apparently finishing off the tie before it had even got going with the 5-2 win.
The fans at the Metropolitano didn’t know what to make of it all. When Tottenham’s hapless starting goalkeeper, Antonín Kinsky, was hauled off by coach Igor Tudor after just 17 minutes, having committed shocking unforced errors for two of Atlético’s opening three goals, the reaction from the crowd wasn’t what you might expect.
There was no chorus of jeers from the home fans, no desire to stick the boot in. Instead, there were some supportive cheers, and even some whistles for the substitution itself when it was announced. It was a reaction of sympathy and empathy, an illustration of just how awful this must have been for Kinsky, who got none of that sympathy from Tudor, unmoved on the touchline as the keeper trudged past, head bowed.
For Spurs, this eye-catching result might not be rock bottom, even if it felt a lot like it in the first half. There is still the terrifying prospect of relegation from the Premier League, where survival, Tudor had admitted pre-match, is his team’s “first aim.” “[The Champions League] is something extra,” he said. On the evidence of this first leg, it won’t be something extra for very long.
The Metropolitano holds painful memories for Tottenham, the venue for their 2-0 defeat to Liverpool in the 2019 Champions League final. That loss might have hurt more, 90 minutes away from being the best night in the club’s history, but Tuesday’s result hurt in a different way: the pain of the embarrassing first half, the feeling that all of Europe was looking on, wide-eyed, and thinking: What on earth is going on over there?
By contrast, this stadium has been Atlético’s fortress this season. In 21 home games between LaLiga, the Champions League and the Copa del Rey, Diego Simeone’s team has won 18, drawn one, and lost two.
Their away form has been another thing entirely — eight wins, seven draws and seven losses — and so their prospects of progressing deep into the Champions League knockout stage were always going to depend on their ability to finish off ties at home, putting them beyond opponents’ reach, before the uncertainty of the away leg.
In Tottenham, they found willing accomplices. In the sixth minute, Kinsky slipped as he tried to play the ball out from the back, gifting it to Ademola Lookman. Lookman found Julián Álvarez, who gave it to Marcos Llorente, who calmly made it 1-0.
Kinsky’s mistake for the third goal was even more slapstick, looking to quickly move on a backpass first time, and only succeeding in stroking the ball straight into the path of Alvarez, who couldn’t miss. That was the goalkeeper’s last intervention in the game, withdrawn by Tudor immediately after.
If there was one frustration on the night for Atlético — exemplified by Simeone’s angry, jumping-up-and-down reaction to Pedro Porro‘s goal that made it 4-1 in the 26th minute — it’s that at 5-2, the tie isn’t definitively, comprehensively over.
Atlético have come close to crumbling themselves, under pressure away from home, in the very recent past.
That 4-0 Copa del Rey semifinal win over Barcelona was followed by a 3-0 loss in the second leg last week, with Barça agonizingly close to leveling the tie. It’s a result that can offer just the slightest comfort to Tottenham, and will surely be studied by Tudor’s coaching staff ahead of next week’s second leg in north London.
“The two goals were a shame,” Antoine Griezmann said after the game. “We have to improve what we did in Barcelona, so we don’t repeat it.”
In truth, the chances of a repeat feel slim. Barcelona believed they could turn that tie around, and nearly pulled it off. Tottenham, in their hearts, will not share that belief. By the full-time whistle on Tuesday, the away end at the Metropolitano was nearly empty as the Spurs players went across to clap the few remaining fans who had stayed behind. They didn’t believe, either.
An Iranian drone attack in Kuwait that killed six U.S. service members in the early hours of the war with Iran was more severe than has previously been revealed, with dozens suffering injuries including brain trauma, shrapnel wounds and burns, multiple sources told CBS News. At least one may require the amputation of a limb.
Sources described a grim and chaotic scene in the aftermath of the strike on a tactical operations center at the Shuaiba port outside Kuwait City on March 1. Smoke quickly filled the building, making it difficult to rescue those inside.
More than 30 military members remained in hospitals Tuesday night with battle injuries from the Kuwait attack — one at Brooke Army Medical Center in San Antonio, 12 at Walter Reed Medical Center in suburban Washington, D.C., and about 25 at Landstuhl Regional Medical Center in Germany, sources said.
Of those, about 20 arrived on a C-17 military transport aircraft at Landstuhl on Tuesday with injuries the military designated as “urgent” and requiring evacuation, including traumatic brain injuries, memory loss and concussions, three of the sources said.
More than 100 medical personnel were sent to Landstuhl to assist, one of the sources said.
Defense Department officials initially didn’t specify how many had been hurt in the Kuwait attack, but said on March 1 that five were seriously wounded and “several others sustained minor shrapnel injuries and concussions.”
Two of the service members were missing after the attack and were later found under the rubble, sources said.
The Pentagon has a process to notify wounded soldiers’ family members and seeks to shield them from learning from press releases about how extensive the injuries were.
The military defines a serious injury as one that “requires medical attention, and competent medical authority declares that death is possible but not likely to occur within 72 hours.”
Speaking at the Pentagon last week, Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth, described the strike: “You have air defenses, and a lot’s coming in, and you hit most of it. Every once in a while, you might have one, unfortunately, we call it a squirter, that makes its way through. And in that particular case, it happened to hit a tactical operations center that was fortified, but these are powerful weapons.”
At least one American was killed in a separate strike in Saudi Arabia March 1. It is unclear how many others may have been injured in that attack.
On Tuesday, the 11th day of the war, Pentagon spokesman Sean Parnell said about 140 American service members had been injured so far, without specifying where or when they were wounded.
“The vast majority of these injuries have been minor, and 108 service members have already returned to duty. Eight service members remain listed as severely injured and are receiving the highest level of medical care,” Parnell said in a statement.
The military has robust air defenses shielding all U.S. personnel in range of Iranian attacks, sources told CBS News.
Pentagon spokespeople did not immediately respond to questions on Tuesday about service members’ injuries or where they were sustained.
Editor’s note: A previous version of this article said that at least one of the Americans wounded in the March 1 attack in Kuwait “required the amputation of a limb,” but the individual has not yet undergone an amputation. The report has been updated.
Tensions in the Middle East following U.S.-Israeli strikes in Iran have disrupted global oil and gas supplies and pushed up prices. This has raised questions about the amount of oil reserves the United States has left. Strategic Petroleum ReserveThe United States has the world’s largest supply of emergency crude oil, called the U.S. Strategic Petroleum Reserve (SPR). President Gerald Ford created the SPR in 1975 after the 1973-74 Arab oil embargo, which cut off oil flowing into the United States. There are four SPR sites located along the Gulf Coast of Texas and Louisiana, owned and operated by the U.S. Department of Energy. Under the Energy Policy and Conservation Act (EPCA) signed in 1975, the policy is to establish a reserve of up to one billion barrels of petroleum.As of 2025, the SPR held less than half that goal — 413 million barrels of crude oil. The closest the SPR got to reaching one billion barrels was in 2009 when the reserve reached its highest level of 726 million barrels. However, the reserve supply has dipped dramatically in recent years as U.S. presidents have ordered the release of oil.In 2023, SPR levels fell to a record low of 354 million barrels after then-President Joe Biden ordered the release of 180 million barrels of crude oil to mitigate a shortfall in the production of oil caused by Russia’s war in Ukraine. Other countries also maintain stockpiles of crude oil for release in the event of a supply disruption, under the International Energy Agency. There are 32 members of the IEA and they hold emergency stockpiles of over 1.2 billion barrels, with an additional 600 million barrels held by commercial investors as part of the IEA stockpile. Commercial crude oil In the United States, U.S. firms also have their own commercial oil inventory, which the Energy Information Administration monitors.As of the week ending Feb. 27, U.S. crude oil inventory, excluding the Strategic Petroleum Reserve, stood at about 439.3 million barrels. This is 3.5 million barrels more than the previous week but still 3% below the five-year average for this time of the year, according to the Energy Information Administration (EIA) report. The United States is both the world’s top producer of oil and top consumer of oil. In 2023, the United States consumed an average of about 20.25 million barrels of petroleum per day, totaling about 7.39 billion barrels for the year, according to the EIA.
NEW YORK —
Tensions in the Middle East following U.S.-Israeli strikes in Iran have disrupted global oil and gas supplies and pushed up prices. This has raised questions about the amount of oil reserves the United States has left.
Strategic Petroleum Reserve
The United States has the world’s largest supply of emergency crude oil, called the U.S. Strategic Petroleum Reserve (SPR). President Gerald Ford created the SPR in 1975 after the 1973-74 Arab oil embargo, which cut off oil flowing into the United States.
