With The Muppet Show hitting Disney+ this week, we picked the most sensational, inspirational, celebrational and, of course, Muppetational musical numbers from its five seasons, from Julie Andrews to Alice Cooper.

“If Brexit prevents many new musicians from touring,“ Elton writes, “the only artists who are going to have any meaningful kind of live career are big, august, mainstream artists like me.“

It‘s the first time the fourth and fifth seasons of ‘The Muppet Show‘ have been available on home video.

Plus Jeff Rosenstock, 6LACK, Liam Gallagher, Elvis Costello, Jim James, No Joy, Sad13, Dolly Parton, Sylvan Esso, and more livestreams you can watch this week since there are no live concerts to attend.

Listen to new songs by The Smashing Pumpkins, Nyck Caution/Joey Bada$$, JER, Bad Bunny, Rob Zombie, Gone Is Gone, Gillian Welch, jennylee (Daniel Johnston cover), Carly Rae Jepsen, Tegan & Sara, Nathaniel Rateliff & Kevin Morby, and more...
