Epstein Files Rock Britain; Bassist, General Dead

Fred Smith, bassist for the influential proto-punk band Television, died Thursday at the age of 77, the band confirmed on its Instagram account, according to Variety. Smith's death was announced on February 6, 2026.

Smith's musical journey began with Angel and the Snake, which later evolved into Blondie. He left Blondie in 1975 to replace Richard Hell in Television.

In other news, the British government found itself embroiled in a political storm following the release of files connected to the Jeffrey Epstein investigation, Time reported. Disclosures from the investigation have already impacted the monarchy, with Prince Andrew stripped of his royal title late last year. He now faces renewed scrutiny after the U.S. Justice Department released over three million Epstein-related files last week. The fallout has also spread to 10 Downing Street, the official residence of Britain's Prime Minister Keir Starmer, according to Time.

Bad Bunny is set to make history as the first Latin solo artist to headline the Super Bowl halftime show on Sunday night, Time reported. His performance follows the Grammy Awards, where celebrities, including Bad Bunny, criticized President Donald Trump's immigration policies. NFL commissioner Roger Goodell backed the selection of the 31-year-old artist. "Bad Bunny is, and I think that was demonstrated last night, one of the great artists in the world, and that's one of the reasons we chose him," Goodell told reporters, according to Time.

Multiple news sources reported that the investigation into the disappearance of 84-year-old Nancy Guthrie is facing scrutiny due to missteps by the Pima County Sheriff's Department, Fox News reported. These included prematurely releasing her home as a crime scene and delaying the use of search aircraft. The reassignment of the aircraft pilot has also drawn criticism.

Finally, a Nature article from January 2026 was corrected to fix an image error, according to Nature News. Other news includes the upcoming trial of Luigi Mangione, the victim of a deepfake scam, and Sir Elton John's testimony in a privacy breach lawsuit against the Daily Mail.
