Woman in London broke her nose while doing the TikTok“Mime Challenge!” The challenge involves you singing a speed up version of your favorite song, while running dramatically away from the camera! Seems harmless enough, right? Wrong!
Madison is her name. She ran away from the camera in an empty parking lot. Nothing to run into and nothing around her to hit her. But she didn’t see the parking lot cement stops. She tripped over it and face planted into the ground. She broke her nose! But like a champion, she got back up and continued to film the video.
The video of course went viral. Madison had to go to the hospital to have her nose reset! This TikTok challenge ended up being a successful failure! She got a lot of hits at the expense of a broken nose!
She will be ok though! We have more on this story and other weird and wacky stories in today’s Other News!

The Rolling Stones made major headlines in January 2023 with their arrival on TikTok with the handle @therollingstones.
The iconic rock band is the latest legacy act to join the popular social media platform. Along with joining TikTok, the Stones’ biggest hit songs are now available for use on the platform. Among the songs available are “Start Me Up,” “(I Can’t Get No) Satisfaction,” “Paint It, Black,” “Gimme Shelter” and more.
In addition to the launch of the Rolling Stones’ TikTok account, Mick Jagger has also joined. His individual account has the handle @jagger. Jagger’s first TikTok can be seen below and shows the singer saying hello to TikTok and playfully singing and dancing to “Sympathy For The Devil.” (Notably, Keith Richards joined TikTok in December 2021 with the handle @officialkeef.)
TikTok, of course, is one of the most popular social media apps with Gen Z, which provides many older artists the opportunity to attract new, younger fans. In June 2023, YPulse reported that more than three-quarters of Gen Z use TikTok. Additionally, nearly two-thirds of Gen Z use the platform daily. In fact, a September 2023 survey from the Pew Research Center found that 32% of 18 to 29-year-olds regularly get their news from TikTok.
On top of that, Gen Z is turning to TikTok to use as a search engine. The New York Timesquotes Prabhakar Raghavan, a senior vice president at Google, on this topic in a September 2022 piece. Raghavan said, “In our studies, something like almost 40 percent of young people, when they’re looking for a place for lunch, they don’t go to Google Maps or Search. They go to TikTok or Instagram”
With all of this in mind, here are the Rolling Stones and nine other classic rock artists with accounts on TikTok.
Rolling Stones
The first few TikToks shared by the Stones have the band encouraging fans to create their own clips impersonating the band and covering their music. It a pretty clever way to get fans interacting with the account.
Covers, remixes, guitar solos, mashups… anything goes. Transform your favourite Stones track. We’ll be sharing some of your creations. Let’s hear it #TheRollingStones#MickJagger#KeithRichards
The Beatles joined TikTok in October 2021 to coincide with the release of the three-part docuseries The Beatles: Get Back. Since then, their account has been active with the addition of many classic clips of the band.
U2 joined TikTok in November 2021 and helped premiere their track “Your Song Saved My Life” from the film Sing 2. They also have no shortage of archival footage, like this clip from the making of the music video for “The Fly.”
Stevie Nicks joined TikTok in November 2020 following the viral “Dreams” phenomenon. It remains Nicks’ only clip on TikTok, but hopefully, more will be added in the near future.
Mick Fleetwood also joined TikTok as a result of the viral “Dreams” phenomenon, but he’s actually pretty active on the platform. Some of his best TikToks feature him doing various outfit changes, like this clip of him lip-syncing to ZZ Top’s “Sharp Dressed Man.”
Pink Floyd joined TikTok in May 2022. Some of their latest videos are in honor of the 50th anniversary of their landmark album The Dark Side of the Moon.

The Godfather of Shock Rock joined TikTok in March 2020. In the years since joining, a bunch of classic Cooper clips have been shared, including this bit from his appearance on The Muppet Show.
Def Leppard joined TikTok in February 2021. The platform served as a great place to show off some behind-the-scenes clips from their super-successful “Stadium Tour” with Motley Crue in the summer of 2022.
