Ever sang 'Winter Wonderland' in a tank top? Keith Urban has

Singing “Winter Wonderland” with snow in sight sure is nice, but what about in the summer heat?

For Keith Urban, singing yuletide tunes in the blazing heat is something he remembers all too well from growing up Down Under.

“We still love going to the beach at Christmastime as long as we're in Australia. Really, because it's like the Fourth of July. It's huge. Everybody's out. It feels very celebratory. It's in the ’90s and it's crazy,” Keith shares in a press interview.

“But having grown up with that, it feels very natural to me,” says the New Zealand-born Aussie native. “We still had all of the same Christmas songs, so we're in like 90-degree heat with shorts and tank tops singing ‘walking in a winter wonderland.’ I remember getting Christmas cards of Santa on a surfboard, so that probably explains a lot.”

Keith’s recently announced High And Alive World Tour kicks off May 22 in Orange Beach, Alabama, and wraps Oct. 17 in Nashville. He’ll also return to Australia for shows in August.

You can find tickets and a full list of dates at keithurban.com.

Chris Janson shares snippet of patriotic new song, 'The Flag'

Chris Janson‘s patriotism takes center stage in his new song, “The Flag.”

The “Buy Me a Boat” singer recently hopped on social media to tease a snippet of the unreleased track.

In the opening verse, Chris sings, “It stood proud on the Bulge/ Flew across the Delaware/ It’s earned every scar and still flying everywhere/ It’s been kicked and it’s been cussed/ It’s been burned out in the street/ But it never would give up/ ‘Cause no it just can’t be beat.”

“It stands for what’s right/ It stands for the free/ It stands for every small-town kid who ever had a dream/ All the ones who left their homes and never made it back/ That’s why I stand for this flag,” he continues in the chorus.

While you wait for “The Flag” to roll out, you can check out the 55-second preview clip on Chris’ social platform X now. You can also listen to Chris’ latest single, “Whatcha See Is Whatcha Get,” on your favorite country station and digital platforms.

Police launching investigation after 5 family members are found dead in Utah home

Police are launching an investigation after five family members, including three children, were found dead in a home in Utah on Tuesday. Another minor, age 17, was taken to a hospital with a gunshot wound; authorities said that the victims were all shot to death.

A concerned family member discovered the injured 17-year-old boy in the garage of the home Tuesday afternoon, which led to the discovery of the five bodies. The family member had grown concerned after not being able to contact the woman who lived at the residence for some time, and police were dispatched to the house. However, they were unable to make contact with anyone inside and found no emergency. The next day, the family member returned to the house after the woman who lived there failed to show up for work, and gained entrance to the residence via the garage, where she found the injured 17-year-old boy.

According to Roxeanne Vainuku, a spokesperson for the West Valley City Police Department, the deceased victims have been identified as a 42-year-old man, a 38-year-old woman, an 11-year-old boy, 9-year-old girl and a 2-year-old girl. The circumstances surrounding the deaths were unclear as of Wednesday, and Vainuku said at a news conference:  “Absolutely horrific. This is something that certainly will weigh heavily on investigators in this case,” adding that authorities do not believe there is a suspect on the loose, and believe the shooting is something that was “isolated to this home.”

According to CBS affiliate KUTV, Vainuku said that due to the fact the 17-year-old “is injured and he’s in the hospital, there are some challenges in communicating with him and finding out more information. In any case where people have died, loved ones have been lost, we want to make sure that we do the most absolute thorough job possible so that we can bring justice to the victims.”
