Isaac Hanson's Lookalike Son, 18, Floors Fans With Surprise Performance

Isaac Hanson's Lookalike Son, 18, Floors Fans With Surprise Performance

For years, "MMMBop" rockers Hanson — brothersIsaac,Taylor, andZac Hanson— have been asked if the 15 kids they share between them would follow in their fathers' footsteps and become musicians themselves. Now, Isaac's 18-year-old son Everett is the first of the band's kids to officially hit the stage — leaving longtime Hanson fans floored with his surprise performance. On Thursday, May 22 — as Hanson fans from around the world flocked to the band's hometown of Tulsa, Oklahoma, for the group's annual Hanson Day weekend — Isaac kicked off the festivities with his other band, Mother Road Sons. It was there that the proud dad welcomedhis lookalike sononstage to surprise the crowd with a solo. Everett hit the stage like a seasoned pro, jamming out on a teal guitar while belting out a bluesy, soulful track called "I Need You," according to a fan-photographed setlist. View this post on Instagram A post shared by Hansonitalianfans (@hansonitalianfans) After Everett concluded the performance with an impressive shred on guitar, Isaac — grinning from ear to ear — walked back onstage to envelop his son in a hug. Fans immediately took to the comments section of every video they could find, sharing their awe at Everett's talent and the undeniable resemblance to his dad. (In addition to Everett, Isaac, 44, also shares son Monroe, 16, and daughter Odette, 11, with his wife.) "He is definitely Isaac's son. He looks just like his dad from 2000," one person wrote via Instagram. "It's like looking at the past," another agreed. "He's Ike in 1997." "When genetics are on point 😍😍👏👏👏," a third fan gushed. The resemblance was more than just surface-level. "He sounds so much like Isaac!" another person praised, with many of the comments noting how obviously proud Isaac is of his son. View this post on Instagram A post shared by 𝕃𝕦𝕪𝕫𝕒 (@𝕙𝕒𝕟𝕤𝕠𝕟.𝕡𝕝𝕒𝕔𝕖) (@hanson.place) While Hanson's kids have previously appeared with the band over the years — with many starring in the group's 2017"I Was Born" music videoand Isaac's daughter appearing in his"Write You a Song" video— Everett's Mother Road Sons performance is the first time a second-generation Hanson has marked the stage as his own. The group, who have sold more than 16 million records worldwide, has spoken over the years about the idea of their kids starting their own band — given that Isaac, Taylor and Zac were just 11, 9, and 6, respectively, when they formed Hanson in 1992. (Notably, the band was five years older — yet still considerably young at 16, 14, and 11 — when they hit it big with "MMMBop.") "We always try to make music a really natural part of our kids' lives and encourage them to enjoy and pursue it without feeling pressure to perform or make a career out of it," Zac toldUs Weeklyin 2021. For fans wanting to catch Hanson onstage this summer, the band is slated to play several music festivals across the country, including stops in Washington State, Minnesota, Connecticut, Chicago, and at Guster's On the Ocean weekend in Maine.

2 more victims of private jet crash in San Diego identified by coroner

The names of two more people who were killed when the small private jet on which they were passengerscrashedinto a San Diego, California, neighborhood last week were released on Sunday. The San Diego Medical Examiner confirmed that 41-year-old Dominic Christopher Damian and 24-year-old Kendall Fortner were among the six people aboard a Cessna 550 jet that crash and burst into flames early Thursday morning in dense fog near Montgomery Gibbs Executive Airport. Everyone aboard the plane died, officials said. Eight people on the ground were injured, including five who were treated for smoke inhalation, officials said. Multiple homes were destroyed and several vehicles were damaged, authorities said. The crash occurred about 3:45 a.m. when the private jet clipped powerlines and crashed in San Diego's Murphy Canyon neighborhood seconds before it was to land at the Montgomery Gibbs Executive Airport, according to an investigator for the National Transportation Safety Board (NTSB). The cause of the crash remains under investigation by the NTSB. On Friday, the Medical Examiner confirmed the identities of three of the people aboard the aircraft who were killed as 42-year-old David Shapiro, 25-year-old Emma Huke, and 36-year-old Celina Kenyon. MORE: Music agency co-founder among dead in San Diego plane crash The identity of the sixth person killed in the cash has not been publicly confirmed by officials. Shapiro was the co-founder of the music talent agency Sound Talent Group, the company said in an earlier statement. The company's statement identified Fortner as a booking associate with the agency but Fortner's identity wasn't officially confirmed by the medical examiner until Sunday. Huke also worked for the talent agency as a booking associate, according to the agency. The plane was flying from Wichita, Kansas, to San Diego when it crashed, officials said. The plane originated in Teterboro, New Jersey, according to FlightRadar24 records. The plane stopped to refuel in Wichita, Kansas, before flying on to San Diego, according to FlightRadar24. San Diego Assistant Fire Chief of Emergency Operations Dan Eddy said at a news conference on Thursday that there was dense fog in the area at the time of the crash. In air traffic control audio transmissions minutes before the crash, the pilot was recorded asking about the weather conditions, according to LiveATC.net. The NTSB said that the airport's weather reporting system as well as runway lightswere both not functioningat the time of the crash.

France, Vietnam sign Airbus, defence deals as Macron visits Hanoi

France, Vietnam sign Airbus, defence deals as Macron visits Hanoi

By Francesco Guarascio and Phuong Nguyen HANOI (Reuters) -France and Vietnam signed a deal on Monday for 20 Airbus planes, as well as defence and space pacts, as President Emmanuel Macron visited Hanoi seeking to boost France's influence in its former colony, grappling with threats of crippling U.S. tariffs. Macron's first formal visit to Vietnam, the first by a French president in nearly a decade, follows U.S. President Donald Trump's threats on Friday to impose 50% duties on European Union goods from June 1, fuelling tensions with the 27-country bloc, though he later delayed that deadline to July 9. Export-dependent Vietnam, under pressure from Washington to buy more American goods, has made pledges in trade talks to try to avert 46% tariffs that could impair its growth, fanning European concerns about deals at the region's expense. Deals signed during Macron's visit covered the plane purchase, cooperation on nuclear energy, defence, rail and maritime transport, Airbus earth-observation satellites and Sanofi vaccines, a list of documents seen by Reuters showed, confirming an earlier report. In total 14 deals were signed, which would be short of the dozens that the French presidential palace had said were in preparation before the visit, but more agreements were expected to be announced on Tuesday, an official said. In statements to the press with no questions allowed, Macron reiterated France's support of freedom of navigation, an issue dear to Vietnam as it often clashes with Beijing over contested boundaries in the South China Sea. Macron added the partnership with Vietnam "entails a reinforced defence cooperation", citing the signing of multiple projects on defence and space. Vietnam's President Luong Cuong said the defence partnership involved "sharing of information on strategic matters" and stronger cooperation in the defence industry, cybersecurity and anti-terrorism. France ruled the Southeast Asian country for about 70 years until it was forced out in 1954 after a major defeat at Dien Bien Phu in northern Vietnam. Ties have improved in recent decades, being upgraded last year to Vietnam's highest level. On his trip, the first leg of a Southeast Asian tour that includes Indonesia and Singapore, Macron met Vietnamese leaders and will visit a university in Hanoi on Tuesday, before flying to Jakarta, the Indonesian capital. On arriving in Hanoi on Sunday night, Macron's wife Brigitte appeared to push him in the face when they were still on the plane, a video showed, in an incident that the Elysee played down as "a moment of closeness". PLANES, SATELLITES The deal with European planemaker Airbus for Vietnam's low-cost airline VietJet to buy 20 A330neo wide-body aircraft follows last year's agreement for 20 of the jets. The companies did not announce the price or delivery schedule for the planes. The signing followed urging by European officials in recent weeks for Vietnam to be careful in concessions made to the White House, two officials based in Vietnam with knowledge of the discussions had told Reuters, referring to concerns on Airbus. Airbus is the main supplier of jets to Vietnam, but with an economy heavily dependent on U.S. exports, Vietnamese officials have signalled the possible purchase of at least 250 Boeing planes by flag carrier Vietnam Airlines and rival VietJet in moves meant to help cut the country's huge trade surplus with the United States and possibly appease Trump. Airbus Defence and Space signed a separate declaration of intent with Vietnam on satellites. The company has long been in talks with Hanoi for the replacement of Vietnam's earth-observation satellite, built by Airbus' predecessor EADS and launched in 2013. The new pact involves "exploring a future programme", Airbus said in a statement. During the visit, French transport company CMA CGM said it signed a deal with Saigon Newport to build a deepwater container terminal in north Vietnam by 2028 for a joint investment worth $600 million.
