Former Pittsburgh Penguins player dies after his throat was slashed by a skate in a 'freak accident' during a game
A US ice hockey player died after his throat was cut by a skate during a cup match on Saturday.
Adam Johnson, 29, was playing for the UK's Nottingham Panthers against the Sheffield Steelers when he was struck in the neck with the blade of an ice skate.
In a Facebook post, his mother, Kari Johnson, said she had "lost half of my heart" as it was confirmed that her son had died.
In a post on X, formerly known as Twitter, the Panthers organization wrote that it was "truly devastated" to announce that Johnson had died following the "freak accident."
"The Panthers would like to send our thoughts and condolences to Adam's family, his partner, and all his friends at this extremely difficult time," it said. "Adam, our number 47, was not only an outstanding ice hockey player, but also a great teammate and an incredible person with his whole life ahead of him."
The Elite Ice Hockey League (EIHL) confirmed that it had postponed all games on Sunday following the "deeply upsetting news."
Many of the 8,000 spectators in attendance were reportedly left traumatized by the "freak accident" at the Utilita Arena Sheffield.
One X user wrote that it was "undoubtedly the worst thing I've ever seen happen."
"I can't stop thinking about everyone who's been traumatized by what happened, particularly those whose lives have changed in an instant," she added in a later post.
Another user said it was the "stuff of nightmares."
The incident appeared to happen as a Sheffield Steelers' player tried to tackle one of Johnson's teammates, the MailOnline reported.
Protective screens were brought out onto the ice and put up around Johnson after the game was stopped.
Johnson had previously played 13 games for the NHL's Pittsburgh Penguins over the 2018-19 and 2019-20 seasons.
He also played two collegiate seasons at the University of Minnesota Duluth.

Lionel Walter Rothschild was the 'Lord Rothschild' to whom Balfour addressed his 1917 proposal regarding the establishment of a Jewish state.
On November 2, 1917, the British Government expressed its sympathy with Jewish Zionist aspirations and announced that it would use its “best endeavours” to facilitate “the establishment in Palestine of a national home for the Jewish people”. The announcement came in a letter from Foreign Secretary Arthur Balfour to Lionel Walter, 2nd Lord Rothschild (1868-1937), the unofficial leader of the British Jewish community. The Balfour agreement became the diplomatic foundation stone of the state of Israel. The origins of the letter had begun in the early twentieth century, when Chaim Weizmann, the leading spokesman for Zionism in Britain began to solicit support among the British people, shortly after he settled in Manchester in 1904.
Origins in The First World War
Beginning in 1916, the British hoped that in exchange for their support of Zionism, “the Jews” would help to finance the growing expenses of the First World War, which was becoming increasingly burdensome. More importantly, policy-makers in the Foreign Office believed that Jews could be prevailed upon to persuade the United States to join the War. At this time, there were very strong pro-Zionist feelings by many of the political elite and establishment. Many of Britain’s leaders, including Prime Minister David Lloyd George, and Balfour himself, felt for the Jews and their history. These men were deeply religious Christian Zionists. They had grown up on the Bible; the Holy Land was their spiritual home. They believed that modern Zionism would fulfil a divine promise, and re-settle the Jews in the land of their ancient fathers.
The text of the letter
The Balfour Declaration used deliberately vague language. The term “national home” was chosen in order to minimize the Zionist dream, to make Palestine a Jewish state. The Arabs, whose “civil and religious” (not national and political) rights were not to be prejudiced as the declaration put it, were referred to only as “existing non-Jewish communities”.
The Balfour Declaration was ultimately unsuccessful and many commentators place it among similar fruitless schemes. Surprisingly, the British by and large kept their word, and for at least two decades until the outbreak of the Second World War they allowed the Zionist movement to bring hundreds of thousands of Jewish immigrants into Palestine. These new arrivals set up hundreds of settlements, including several towns as well as the political, economic, military and cultural infrastructure of the future state of Israel. The Balfour Declaration was the opening chapter in a still unfinished story.
The original letter was presented to The British Library in 1924 by Lionel Walter, 2nd Lord Rothschild.
Foreign Office,
November 2nd, 1917.
Dear Lord Rothschild,
I have much pleasure in conveying to you, on behalf of His Majesty's Government, the following declaration of sympathy with Jewish Zionist aspirations which has been submitted to, and approved by, the Cabinet:
"His Majesty's Government view with favour the establishment in Palestine of a national home for the Jewish people, and will use their best endeavours to facilitate the achievement of this object, it being clearly understood that nothing shall be done which may prejudice the civil and religious rights of existing non-Jewish communities in Palestine, or the rights and political status enjoyed by Jews in any other country".
I should be grateful if you would bring this declaration to the knowledge of the Zionist
Federation.
Yours sincerely
Arthur James Balfour

Travis Barker wants to be 'superhuman.' Catastrophe will do that to a man
There are things Travis Barker does that make it OK for him to fly. He never schedules his own flights; it feels too much like he’s booking his destiny. Before takeoff, he calls his kids, his dad, his wife. Then he says a prayer for everyone he’s lost and listens to some guided recordings that were sent to him by an energy healer.
As the plane lifts from the runway, he puts on noise-canceling headphones so that he can’t hear the landing gear retract. Keeps his eyes shut. Breathes.
“It takes a little piece of my life every time I fly,” he says. “The amount of stress and anxiety it causes is just unbearable. It brings up all this old trauma, and sometimes I’m like, ‘Is this worth it?’ But I don’t like anything having a hold on me, either — I don’t like being afraid, and I don’t like having things from my past control my future.”
Barker has been an irrepressible force for years. The kid who covered his body in tattoos to ensure he would never be tempted to work anywhere but the music industry. The musician who glues the skin on his knuckles together after drumming too hard. The one member of Blink-182 who has never quit, even as his two bandmates, Mark Hoppus and Tom DeLonge, got stuck in a toxic cycle of breaking up and making up.
Then, after surviving a 2008 private plane crash that left four others dead and 65% of his body covered in third-degree burns, the man who flushed 19 prescriptions down the toilet after getting out of the burn center because he overheard his friends saying he seemed “slow.”
Now, at 47, it seems Barker is being karmically rewarded for that perseverance. Blink is back together, the result of a harsh wake-up call that came after Hoppus was diagnosed with stage IV diffuse large B-cell lymphoma in 2021. The health scare — Hoppus is now in remission after undergoing chemotherapy — prompted the pop-punk group to start making new music. Their latest album, “One More Time…,” is the first Barker produced for the band, and it has earned strong reviews since its Oct. 20 release. Critics have said the music "hits like a g— freight train," with the more reflective tone showing the once-juvenile "pranksters are finally ready to admit they're not just older but wiser too."
Just a few weeks after delivering the new music to the world, Barker is preparing to become a father again. He and Kourtney Kardashian, who married last year, struggled with fertility issues for months. The couple documented their journey on “The Kardashians,” filming egg retrievals and a no sex-alcohol-caffeine-sugar Panchakarma cleanse. Eventually, Kardashian tired of the effect the hormones were having on her body and paused IVF.
Then, after a Valentine’s Day trip to Utah, she got pregnant naturally at age 43. Kardashian has three children from a prior relationship, as does Barker — this baby, due in November, will be his first in nearly 18 years.

Totally not PEDO COMMS
John Travolta Shares Pizza and a Snuggly Nap With His Son’s Dog Peanut
The actor enjoyed some sweet moments with the rescue pup, who belongs to his youngest child, Ben
Lady and the Tramp, meet John Travolta and Peanut.
The 69-year-old actor and his son’s pup, Peanut, recently shared a slice of cheese pizza — and the resulting photo looked awfully similar to the Disney film’s iconic spaghetti scene.
In the picture, which the Grease star posted on his Instagram Story on Friday, the little dog stood on the table and tugged on a piece of particularly stringy cheese as Travolta took a big bite.
The Pulp Fiction actor shared another photo featuring Peanut, who belongs to his son Benjamin, this time a picture of the pair cuddled up together sleeping face-to-face in bed.
The snuggly shot is peaceful — especially when compared to a video Travolta shared of himself and the pooch in bed last year.
In September 2022, the actor posted a sweet clip of Peanut poking and licking his face repeatedly as he attempted to avoid the slobber.
"This is how Ben's dog Peanut wakes me up," he captioned the clip.
Peanut is the name Travolta’s son gave the rescue pup, who was formerly known as Mac N Cheese.
Travolta adopted the dog for Ben after Jamie Lee Curtis brought her onstage during a segment dedicated to Betty White and her dedication to animal welfare at the 94th Academy Awards in 2022.
"They were dumped in a box outside the Avenal Shelter," Chad Atkins, co-founder and executive director of animal rescue Paw Works, told PEOPLE about Peanut, her mom and her three siblings. (The Avenal Animal Shelter is a rural shelter in Avenal, California, that works with Paw Works.)

After Peanut and her family were dumped at the California shelter, Paw Works brought the pets to their facility to help find them foster homes.
When the 2022 Oscars approached, Peanut (who was still named Mac N Cheese at the time) was the only member of her family who had yet to find a forever home. She was the pup picked for the big awards show moment, thanks to a bit of luck — and Curtis.
A production company for animals was originally going to provide a trained canine for the Oscars segment, but the 64-year-old actress stepped in.
"It was actually Jamie Lee Curtis who said, 'No, no, no, we can't do that. Betty White is known for her compassion for four-legged friends, and she was always a huge advocate of animal rescue. It has to be a rescue animal,'" Atkins told PEOPLE.
After the Paw Works director sent photos and information about several adoptable puppies in Paw Works’ care, Curtis chose Peanut out of the bunch, and brought her onstage for the In Memoriam segment.
Atkins held on to the puppy for the rest of the night, and while several people expressed interest in adopting her, it was Travolta who "eye-locked" with little Peanut, held her for 30 minutes and followed up about adopting her the following day.
In March 2022, Travolta made the adoption Instagram-official, sharing a photo of himself, Peanut and the pup’s new owner, his son Ben. “Ben adopted this dog from last [night's] Oscartribute to Betty White,”the actor captioned the photo. “Thank you @curtisleejamie & @pawworks.”
"So it's happily ever after for her now," Atkins told PEOPLE of the puppy’s future in April 2022 and — at least according to Travolta's Instagram posts —it has been nothing but pizza, love and snuggles since.
