The Wanted Fill A Heart For Charity WITHOUT Nathan Sykes! Watch The Performance HERE!

| Filed under: Music MinuteDancing With The StarsThe WantedCharity

They might be one man down, but they're still doing their thang!

The Wanted are missing their fifth man, Nathan Sykes, as he's recovering from vocal cord surgery, but they're still trying to keep fans happy in the meantime.

The group headed over to Dancing With The Stars to remind us all why we love these boys so much!

They performed a dreamy new single for charity, Fill A Heart, as a foursome. And even though it's not the same without Nathan, the boys managed to blow us away!

Beyond the single being just totes AH-Mazing, proceeds for it will go to Child Hunger Ends Here.

We hate seeing the boys as an incomplete group, but we're glad the rest of them are working for a good cause while they eagerly await Nathan's recovery.

Ch-ch-check it out (above)!

world cup 2014 brazil soccer ball man died struck car

Richard Swanson had a goal, and that goal was to dribble a soccer ball from Seattle all the way to Brazil, and do it in time for the 2014 World Cup! Easy, right? Just do a little bit at a time?

Maybe that should have been the case, but we're sad to report that Richard has died after being struck by a pickup truck while walking south on the Highway 101 in Oregon. The 10,000 mile trip had basically just begun — just on May 1st.

Toni Braxton Puts Retirement On Pause And Performs At Lupus LA Orange Ball! Watch HERE!

| Filed under: Music MinuteToni BraxtonHealthCharity

Well this is certainly a surprise!

Attendees at the Lupus LA Orange Ball got a little HUGE treat as Toni Braxton took the stage to put on a very special performance!

The Unbreak My Heart singer took a short break from her retirement and sang a couple of her songs at the star-studded charity event, and of course she sounded amazing!

Ch-ch-check her awesome performance of Breathe Again (above)!

Toni had a lupus scare herself not too long ago, so it makes sense that she would want to give back to an organization that is hoping to thwart the disease once and for all!

She even showed some love for her doctor, Dr. Shapira, and pulled him onstage for her performance of Another Sad Love Song! Because nothing says "Thank you" like embarassing someone in front of a crowded room of people! LOLz!

But seriously, we are SO SO happy to see Toni back on the stage doing what she does best! Even if it was just for the night!

Check out the rest of her performance …AFTER THE JUMP!!
