It looks like the bad boys from Boston are headed to Las Vegas and today lead singer Steven Tyler made it official.

“We want to bring a show in there we really can’t do when on the road, on a regular tour,” Tyler said on The Today Show.

Aerosmith’s residency, dubbed “Aerosmith: Deuces Are Wild” (named after their 1994 promotional single) begins Saturday April 6, 2019 at Park Theater in the new Park MGM Resort, the same venue where Lady Gaga’s Vegas residency will be held.

“All things must come to an end,” announced last year by founder Kevin Lyman on Warped Tour’s official website that 2018 will be its final time to hit the road.

And this week, that end did arrive, as Pennywise performed the final of song of the iconic tour.

“It’s the last @VansWarpedTour day of the summer, & I will always say you can never let your guard down until the last truck is loaded and everyone is home safe,” Lyman posted on Twitter. “Catering truck caught on fire 🔥 last night! Awesome crew is pulling something together though.”

The traveling festival has been touring annually each summer since 1995 in the United States and Canada. It later became known as “Vans Warped Tour” after the manufacturer of skateboarding shoes became the main sponsor in 1996.

Known primarily as a punk rock festival, the tour has since diversified into featuring acts of various genres beyond its original alternative rock and punk rock roots, including performances from Fall Out Boy, No Doubt, Blink-182, and Paramore.

Although this week marks the end of the tour, an end of an era so to speak, fans are already looking into the future, including Lyman, who tweeted a message in a hopeful tone. “Wow @VansWarpedTour has just ended and I am watching the last tail lights leave the lot,” he posted. “I have done what I can do and now it is your turn. Do amazing things, much love to those who got it!”

We’re honored to close out the final @VansWarpedTour tonight in West Palm Beach at 8pm on the Journey's Left Foot Stage. Thank you for letting us be a part of it, @KevinLyman. pic.twitter.com/cZ7iLSSygR

Drake’s bounce track that inspired a viral dance challenge finally has an official video. The man who started the challenge, comedian Shiggy appears in the new video along with footage of other celebrities such as DJ Khaled, the cast of Stranger Things, Ciara and Will Smith, all of whom have done their own versions of the dance craze.

Shiggy appeared in the video with his signature dance moves from the dance challenge that is circulating on Instagram. He also gets to show some of his acting skills playing Drake’s assistant.

The nearly eight-minute long video, most of which shot on the streets of New Orleans, started with Drake professing his love to “Kiki,” played by actress La La Anthony and asking to take her out and see a movie. But it wasn’t easy under the watchful eye of her mom.

“Hello?! I want you to get your Jordans off my walkway. This not a Taye Diggs movie, sir. You’re a grown man. Carry your ass on home now,” her mom says, played by actress Phylicia Rashad. “I want you to leeeeave, and don’t forget to go when you leave!,” Rashad adds as Drake tries to plead his case.

Drake has been dominating the charts this year. The song debuted in the top 10 Billboard’s Hot 100 along with seven other tracks from his latest album. It then rose to no.1 the following week, essentially replacing his own song “Nice for What” at the top.

“In My Feelings” is from the Canadian musician’s chart-topping fifth studio album ‘Scorpion’. Watch the track’s new video below:
