Over a dozen people in Arkansas, Oklahoma and Iowa were killed after a wave of storms and tornadoes tore through south-central United States.

The polar vortex has been rearing its cold and snowy head quite a bit lately, which can affect artists who are on the road touring. Last week, David Nail encountered a problem with icy roads when he was on his way to open a show for Darius Rucker in New York.

Jay Leno will wrap his lengthy stint as the host of 'The Tonight Show' in February, when Jimmy Fallon takes over and moves the show to NYC.
