Caption: « BREAKING MUSIC NEWS: Bob Dylan shocks the world by marrying Joan Baez after 60 years apart — Paul McCartney and Steven Tyler perform emotional tribute songs at the wedding! No one could believe it really happened — on a breezy afternoon in Santa Fe, 84-year-old Bob Dylan took the hand of 84-year-old Joan Baez and walked into a tiny chapel adorned with wildflowers. After more than half a century of longing and silence, the two legendary icons of American folk rock were finally wed in a secret, deeply moving ceremony. Paul McCartney played Let It Be on guitar, while Steven Tyler brought the room to tears with a rock ballad written just for them.

On Saturday night, inside a historic theatre in Birmingham, the lights dimmed as Robert's signature raspy voice began the melody of "Going to California." But as the chorus approached, a soft, warm female voice suddenly joined in — it was Allison Plant, his only sister, who hadn't stepped on a stage in over 40 years. The audience sat in stunned silence, moved as the siblings - symbols of memory, loss, and fading youth - sang together as if no time or distance had ever come between them.
