Following in the footsteps of his previous releases, Crowder’s latest studio album, Milk & Honey, debuted at No.1 on the Billboard Top Christian/Gospel Albums Chart, bringing about a record-breaking year of music for the Texarkana-native upon its arrival. Nominated for Pop/Contemporary Recorded Song of the Year at the 2021 Dove Awards, the project’s lead single-turned-smash hit, “Good God Almighty,” not only peaked at No.1 at Christian radio but also sat at the top of the Billboard Christian Songs Chart for five consecutive weeks and landed Crowder his first No. 1 on Billboard’s Hot Christian Songs chart. Continuing the success, the album’s sophomore single, “In The House,” became Crowder’s fourth No.1 at radio in February–marking his first time having multiple, consecutive singles from the same album reach the top of the chart, overall. With recent press highlights including GMA, Fox & Friends, Wall Street Journal, PEOPLE Magazine, SPIN, American Songwriter, and many more, Crowder released the the18-track expansion ‘Milk & Honey (Deluxe)’ on March 4.

Deep Purple announces 2024 tour with Yes. Get tickets today

In 1972, Deep Purple released the iconic “Smoke On The Water.”

Now, 52 years (!) later, the Rock and Roll Hall of Famers will celebrate their mega hit on their ‘1 More Time Tour’ with fellow Rock Hall inductees Yes all summer long.

Along the way, Ian Gillan and co. are scheduled to make five New York and New Jersey stops.

First, the heavy hitmakers drop into Camden, NJ’s Freedom Mortgage Pavilion on Friday, Aug. 30.

After that, the London natives swoop into Holmdel, NJ’s PNC Bank Arts Center on Aug. 31, Wantagh, NY’s Jones Beach Theater on Sept. 1 and Saratoga Springs, NY’s Saratoga Performing Arts Center on Sept. 4.

Deep Purple closes their NY run at Bethel’s Bethel Woods Center For The Arts on Sept. 6.

For fans that can’t wait to rock out to “Hush,” “Highway Star,” “Space Truckin'” — and of course “Smoke On The Water” — tickets for all North American concerts can be picked up as soon as today.

Although inventory isn’t available on Ticketmaster until Friday, April 12, fans who want to ensure they have tickets ahead of time can purchase on sites like Vivid Seats before tickets are officially on sale.

Vivid Seats is a secondary market ticketing platform, and prices may be higher or lower than face value, depending on demand.

They have a 100% buyer guarantee that states your transaction will be safe and secure and will be delivered before the event.

A complete calendar including all North American tour dates, venues and links to buy tickets can be found below.

The band closed the North American leg of their 2023 tour in Orlando on Feb. 21.

According to Set List FM , here’s what Deep Purple performed — including guitar, keyboard and bass solos — that evening:

01.) “Highway Star”

02.) “Pictures of Home”

03.) “No Need to Shout”

04.) “Nothing at All”

05.) “Guitar Solo”

06.) “Uncommon Man”

07.) “Lazy”

08.) “When a Blind Man Cries”

09.) “Anya”

10.) “Keyboard Solo”

11.) “Perfect Strangers”

12.) “Space Truckin'”

13.) “Smoke on the Water”

14.) “Hush” (Joe South cover)

15.) “Bass Solo”

16.) “Black Night”

Being together for 56 years doesn’t mean Deep Purple doesn’t have more to give to the world.

In 2022, the band reached deep into their archives and dug out “ Extras: The Infinite B Sides and Bonus Songs”  which is a must for any Purple superfan.

However, what we found most interesting was the band’s latest record of original music, 2021’s bluesy, New Orleans-y  “Turning To Crime.”

Featuring epic rock (“7 and 7 Is”) as well as lively party startin’ tunes (“Rockin’ Pneumonia and the Boogie Woogie Flu”) and covers from B.B. King (“Let the Good Times Roll”) and Cream (“White Room”), the album is certainly a departure from the hard rockers’ heavy fare they’re famous for.

Still, for our money, the best track on the record is the Southern-fried rock and roll number “Oh Well.”

We’ve been listening to it on repeat all day.

You can hear the jubilant  “Turning To Crime” album in its entirety here .

After over 50 years together — they formed in 1968 — the core of Deep Purple remains the same.

Should you attend a show, here’s who you’ll likely see take the stage:

Ian Gillan lead vocals, harmonica, percussion (1969–1973, 1984–1989, 1992–present)

Roger Glover bass, keyboards, occasional backing vocals (1969–1973, 1984–present)

Ian Paice drums (1968–1976, 1984–present)

Don Airey keyboards (2002–present)

Simon McBride guitars, backing vocals (2022–present)

This tour is a twofer.

Joining Deep Purple on the road are fellow Rock and Roll Hall of Famers Yes.

The long-running prog band is known for their hits like “Owner of A Lonely Heart,” “Roundabout,” “I’ve Seen All Good People” and many, many more.

If you want to dive into their deep catalog, you can find all of Yes’ music here .

It’s hard to believe the ’60s were over 50 years ago now.

Still, many acts that defined the sound of the groundbreaking musical era are still kicking it and on the road this year.

Here are just five of our favorite acts that have been rocking out since Nixon was in office that you can see live in the next few months.

•  Rolling Stones

•  Robert Plant with Allison Krauss

•  Bob Dylan with Willie Nelson

•  Ringo Starr

•  Graham Nash

Politics latest: Tories hit historic low in new poll - but there's bad news for Sir Keir Starmer as well

One polling firm has the Tories on 19%, the lowest level of support it has ever recorded for the party - and Sir Keir Starmer also registers his lowest net satisfaction rating in his four years as Labour leader.

The government has agreed to have an independent IT expert review of a Post Office software system predating Horizon, amid claims dozens more sub-postmasters may have been wrongly convicted.

The Capture software was rolled out across branches in the 1990s, years before the notorious Horizon system was introduced.

Post Office minister Kevin Hollinrake has met with a former sub-postmaster and a lawyer representing 35 people who believe they were wrongly accused of stealing.

It was agreed between MPs and the Post Office minister that an independent IT expert would assess evidence claiming to "prove" Capture software was prone to glitches.

Steve Marston, 68, believes he was wrongly convicted of theft and false accounting after errors caused by Capture accounting software.

Auditors found shortfalls of £79,000 at his branch in Greater Manchester in 1998. He subsequently pleaded guilty to theft and false accounting.

Scotland has confirmed it is scrapping its flagship climate change target to cut greenhouse gas emissions by 75% by 2030.

In a statement, net zero secretary Mairi McAllan said she accepts the target is "out of reach". 

But she said Scotland still intends to meet a 2045 net zero target.

The move follows a report by the independent Climate Change Committee (CCC) last month which said Scotland was so far behind that meeting the 2030 target it was no longer credible. 

"In this challenging context of cuts, UK backtracking, we accept the Climate Change Committee's recent re-articulation that this parliament's interim 2030 target is out of reach," Ms McAllan told MSPs.

"We must now act to chart a course to 2045 at a pace and scale that is feasible, fair and just."

Sky's Scotland correspondent Connor Gillies says this had become a "huge political issue". 

He says Scotland put itself "front and centre" in the global fight against climate change, with former first minister Nicola Sturgeon pledging at the COP26 climate conference to make Scotland the first country in the world to declare a climate emergency. 

"Fast forward a couple of years and we have this climate climbdown from the Scottish government," he says.

The number of pupil suspensions in England has risen by nearly a third in a year to more than 260,000, government figures show.

Data from the department for education shows there were 263,904 suspensions in the spring term of 2022/23, compared to 201,090 during the spring term of 2021/22 - a rise of 31%.

The number of suspensions in spring 2023 is the "highest" termly figure recorded, the DfE said.

Suspensions are typically higher in the autumn term, but the figures show the number rose by 7% from autumn 2022 (when there were 247,366 suspensions) to spring 2023.

The rise of suspensions - which are when a pupil is excluded from a school for a set period of time - comes amid warnings of challenging behaviour in classrooms following the COVID-19 pandemic.

The number of permanent exclusions also increased in the spring term of last year compared to the same period in 2022.

There were 3,039 permanent exclusions in spring 2023, compared to 2,179 in spring 2022 - a rise of 39%, the figures show.

The most common reason for suspensions and permanent exclusions was persistent disruptive behaviour, the DfE said.

"Absolutely nuts" was how former prime minister Boris Johnson described Rishi Sunak's plan to gradually phase out smoking - banning anyone born since the start of 2009 from ever being able to buy cigarettes or tobacco products like vapes.

Liz Truss, who was also briefly prime minister in between the two men, is also among some critical of the proposal - which she described as "profoundly un-conservative".

Tories were given a free vote in the Commons - allowing them to vote with their conscience, not necessarily the government.

But will the policy create a smoke-free generation? And what will it mean for Conservative Party ideology?

Niall Paterson looks at the health implications with Alice Wiseman, vice president of The Association of Directors of Public Health, and the politics of the policy with Sky's political editor Beth Rigby and Tory peer Lord Frost, who disagrees with the planned legislation.

Over a year ago, Rishi Sunak made five pledges for voters to judge him on.

The prime minister met his promise to halve inflation by the end of 2023.

But with the general election approaching, how is Mr Sunak doing on delivering his other promises?

You can see the progress for yourself below:

University chiefs will be invited to a COBRA briefing with the security services to combat the threat from hostile states.

Oliver Dowden, the deputy prime minister, told an audience at Chatham House that a government review had found universities were "vulnerable" and had been "targeted".

He said: "As a first step, I will be calling in vice-chancellors to receive a COBRA briefing with our security services to understand the extent of the problems.

"I think it is likely we are going to need to consult on proposals to address, first of all, the security of researchers given access to frontier research in sensitive sectors."

Mr Dowden added: "Secondly, this issue of universities being dependent on foreign funding which could lead to the transfer of IP (intellectual property) or exploitation or coercion, that in turn sits alongside work we will do to look at our existing controls."

People voting in local elections in England on 2 May will need to provide photo ID.

It is the second year the requirement has been in place - but in 2023,  14,000 people couldn't cast their ballot because they didn't take ID to the polling booth.

There are 22 different types of ID you can use - and if you don't have any of them, you can register for a Voter Authority Certificate.

Here's everything you need to know to avoid being caught out:

Sir Keir Starmer also echoed calls for the police to be involved in the case of Mark Menzies, who lost the Tory whip amid allegations - which he denies - that he misused campaign funds.

On a visit to a port in Teesside, he said there are "obviously a lot of unanswered questions in relation to these allegations".

Sir Keir added: "Not least why it seems the Conservative Party took so long to act and whether they've reported this to the police, who it seems to me should be involved in this.

"I'll be honest, there's a degree of frustration as well. 

"We're two weeks away from really important political and mayoral elections, where there's a lot of positive arguments that we want to make about the change we will bring about in these elections.

"And yet again we're talking about misbehaviour by Tory MPs and if ever you needed evidence of why we need to turn the page on this... and have a fresh start with Labour, I think it's in these allegations coming out today."

Labour leader Sir Keir Starmer has insisted the Rwanda scheme would not work regardless of how asylum seekers travelled to the country.

He was asked about reports that RAF Voyagers could be used to transport migrants, and whether he thinks this is acceptable.

Sir Keir said: "I think the government should be concentrating on how they are going to stop small boats from arriving in the first place rather than wasting time and money, taxpayers' money, on a gimmick, however they travel to Rwanda.

"There are tens of thousands of people waiting to have their claims processed and the government is talking about removing a few hundred.

"More people came in one day last week than this entire scheme will remove under its current provisions.

"It is a gimmick, it won't work, it's a waste of taxpayers' money.

"Let's do what matters, smash the gangs that are running this trade in the first place."

Labour's deputy leader Angela Rayner is on the campaign trail with mayor of London Sadiq Khan today, who is making his bid for another term.

The mayoral election will take place on 2 May, alongside local elections throughout the country.
