The lead singer of a classic rock band says he came close to not only losing his voice, but also his life. In an interview on CBS Mornings, Bad Company frontman Paul Rodgers revealed that he has had 13 strokes, including two major strokes, since 2016. He underwent major surgery after his second stroke, which happened in October 2019. Rodgers said the doctors told him before the surgery that he might not come out of it alive. Rodgers was able to sing and play guitar six months after surgery, and was back in the studio another year later. His latest album, "Midnight Rose," was just released.

Scientists are reporting a rare sighting of a deep-sea creature northwest of Hawaii. The creature, called a Dumbo Octopus, was recently spotted on a seamount about a mile below the surface of the Pacific Ocean. A crew of researchers, on an expedition funded by NOAA, actually saw five of them in one night. The Dumbo Octopus gets its name from the large ear-shaped fins it uses to propel itself.
