By Aaron Brophy

Prolific Australian rock band King Gizzard & The Lizard Wizard has released three live albums to help support three different organizations providing animal-related relief services in the face of that country's unprecedented ongoing bushfires.


Nearly 6,000 firefighters, army reservists and specialists have been deployed to combat nearly 140 separate bushfires around the country. These ongoing fires have been responsible for at least 30 deaths, burned 18.6 million hectares of land and caused the destruction of an estimated 2,683 homes. Additionally, experts are now estimating more than a billion animals on the island continent have died as a result of the fires.

‘Michael’ Surpasses ‘Bohemian Rhapsody’ As Highest-Grossing Biopic of All Time

The film has surpassed Bohemian Rhapsody's total gross with $358.6 million at the domestic box office and $553.3 million internationally.

Michael Jackson’s biopic, Michael, has dethroned Bohemian Rhapsody to become the highest-grossing music biopic of all time, crossing $911.9 million worldwide as the Jaafar Jackson-starring film continues its global rollout.

Directed by Antoine Fuqua and written by John Logan, the Lionsgate and Universal co-production has surpassed Bohemian Rhapsody‘s total gross with $358.6 million at the domestic box office and $553.3 million internationally — with Universal generating $540.5 million of the international total after acquiring foreign theatrical and ancillary rights. The film arrives in Japan today, a territory that could push Michael past $1 billion worldwide, which would make it only the second film to cross that threshold at the 2026 global box office after Universal’s Super Mario Galaxy Movie.
