Taylor Swift was spotted at Paul McCartney’s LA concert chatting with Olivia Rodrigo, while reportedly avoiding a run-in with her ex John Mayer, who left the venue as Swift took a different exit. Mayer and Swift dated in 2009–2010, and Swift is now engaged to Travis Kelce.
Bob Weir navigated Jerry Garcia’s death by reinventing his role from Dead’s youngest guitarist to its elder statesman, guiding new configurations (RatDog, Furthur, Dead & Company, Wolf Bros) while battling grief, pain and health issues. His late-life fitness push, sobriety, Blue Mountain’s country-inflected rebirth, and orchestrated Dead performances helped cement his status as the living embodiment of the Grateful Dead, a legacy that remained central until his death in 2026.
John Mayer recalls joining Dead & Company in 2015, immersing himself in the Grateful Dead repertoire, earning Bob Weir’s trust, and learning to balance tempos and improvisation while guiding the band through Sphere residencies and evolving dynamics, then honors Weir with a heartfelt memorial tribute and reflects on the enduring Dead legacy.
Rolling Stone looks back at 15 performances of the Grateful Dead’s “Ripple” across more than five decades, from its 1970 Fillmore West debut to later renditions by offshoots (the Other Ones, Phil Lesh and Friends, Furthur) and Dead & Company, culminating in John Mayer‑led tributes at Bob Weir’s memorial and beyond, showing how a non-single track became an enduring Deadhead anthem.
John Mayer delivered a moving eulogy and performed an emotional version of “Ripple” at San Francisco’s public memorial for Grateful Dead co-founder Bob Weir. He reflected on their decades-long friendship and Mayer’s joining Dead & Company, then broke into tears as Weir’s friends and bandmates—including Mickey Hart, Jeff Chimenti, and Oteil Burbridge—joined for a memorial-closing Ripple, providing a fitting send-off for Weir.
Thousands gathered at San Francisco's Civic Center to celebrate Bob Weir's life, with Buddhist monks opening the memorial and tributes from Joan Baez and John Mayer as fans laid roses at an altar; Weir, who joined the Grateful Dead in 1965 and helped pen classics like Sugar Magnolia and One More Saturday Night, left a lasting legacy that the Dead continued through Dead & Company with Mayer, and his family stressed that his music should outlive him.
Rolling Stone maps six plausible paths for the Grateful Dead’s future after Bob Weir: Dead & Company could continue touring with John Mayer (potentially adding a second guitarist or renaming), Mayer’s ongoing involvement will shape the direction, and replacements like Warren Haynes or John Kadlecik could join or spawn new projects. If Mayer steps back, other Dead-related groups (including Joe Russo’s Almost Dead and Mickey Hart-led ensembles) could carry the torch, but no single act is likely to replace Weir. Instead, the Dead universe may fragment into multiple bands and collaborations that keep the music alive in various forms.
