"You have a sound. You have a sound that's yours," Lionel Richie added. "I don't know what you're doing. But whatever it is... it's an identity. It's absolutely an amazing identity."

Dick Dale, surf guitar icon, dead at 81

Dick Dale, a legendary guitarist credited with pioneering the genre of surf rock, has died at the age of 81.

Dale died Saturday after dealing with a number of health issues including diabetes, kidney disease and rectal cancer, drummer Dusty Watson confirmed to NPR after speaking with the rock legend's wife Lana Dale.

Longtime friend a former bassist Steve Soest confirmed Dale's death to the Los Angeles Times.

Dale, referred to as the king of surf guitar, was a member of the Del-Tones and is best known for his hit song "Misirlou," which was famous for being the theme song for director Quentin Tarantino's 1994 film Pulp Fiction.

Dale achieved the influential, high-energy surf rock sound by using a fast picking technique and by turning up the reverb on his guitar. Dale is said to have influenced the likes of The Beach Boys, Jimi Hendrix, and Eddie Van Halen, among others.

Dale is also known with collaborating with guitar inventor Leo Fender. The pair worked together on the first 100-watt amplifier.

Chris Harrison returns to 'Bachelor' mansion after California wildfires

Bachelor and Bachelorette host Chris Harrison returned to the signature mansion where the reality shows are filmed after it was damaged during last fall's California wildfires.

"She's never looked so gorgeous. After what our community has been through this year I'm more grateful than ever to be back home #TheBachelorette #BachelorMansion," Harrison posted on Instagram on Sunday alongside a front facing photo of the property.

The Bachelor mansion, which is set to be featured prominently during Season 15 of The Bachelorette, starring Hannah Brown, suffered damage in November after the Woolsey wildfire entered the city of Agoura Hills.

A building on the estate used as the production headquarters for The Bachelor and Bachelorette was destroyed.

Season 23 of The Bachelor, which recently wrapped up with Colton Underwood entering into a relationship with Cassie Randolph, was not affected by the wildfire.

Production had finished filming at the location before the wildfire arrived as Season 23 moved onto other locations around the world.

LOOSE LIPS:

"We're getting to know the deep dark things about each other. The Bachelor is like reverse dating. We're learning the little things ... We also both like to throw a bunch of random ingredients in a bowl and call it dinner."
--Colton Underwood, on his budding off-screen relationship with Cassie Randolph after The Bachelor, to PEOPLE
