May 8, 2026 by WDNY Radio

Neil Diamond’s new album, Wild At Heart, is out now, and to mark the occasion, the singer has released a new video for the track “You’re Getting to Me,” featuring Girls star Jemima Kirke and Fallout’s Cameron Cowperthwaite.

“I think Neil’s music really resonates with people who want to understand the complicated nature of love and relationships,” says Cowperthwaite. “I’m so happy I got to explore those inner workings with Tim and Jemima. We all really went for it, and I think this is a special thing we got to do.”

Wild At Heart features 10 previously unreleased tracks Diamond recorded while collaborating with producer Rick Rubin. Their collaboration produced two previous albums: 2005’s 12 Songs and Diamond’s first #1 record, 2008’s Home Before Dark.

The songs on Wild At Heart were recorded during the Home Before Dark sessions and featured Diamond recording with musicians including Benmont Tench and Mike Campbell of Tom Petty’s Heartbreakers.

“My work with Rick was a labor of love,” Neil says, “and I’m so gratified that these songs will finally be set free into the world to complete our trilogy of work.”

Wild at Heart is available now on CD, LP and digitally. In addition, digital deluxe editions of 12 Songs and Home Before Dark are out now, featuring bonus tracks previously only available on select physical editions.

May 8, 2026 by WDNY Radio

Heart’s Ann Wilson has released a new song, “Nothing But Love,” a track she co-wrote with the late songwriting legend Burt Bacharach, who passed away in 2023.

”I wrote ‘Nothing But Love’ with Burt Bacharach back in 1999, performed it a few times and then I sort of forgot about it,” says Wilson. “A friend recently asked me about the song and he suggested I finally take it to the studio and release it properly.”

She adds, “I’m proud of what we came up with and I feel quite lucky to have been able to work with Burt. His light remains bright.”

The song is now available via digital outlets and is accompanied by a music video featuring never-before-seen footage of Wilson’s upcoming documentary, In My Voice, directed by Barbara Hall.

Wilson and Hall are set to embark on a screening and Q&A tour in support of In My Voice. The tour begins May 11 in Seattle and wraps June 1 in Boston. Wilson also recently announced a new tour with her band Tripsitter, which kicks off Sept. 11 in The Villages, Florida. A complete list of dates can be found at AnnWilson.com.

Oasis documentary to screen in theaters before streaming on Disney+ and Hulu

May 8, 2026 by WDNY Radio

The Oasis documentary has a theatrical premiere date and a streaming home.

The currently untitled film, which chronicles the “Wonderwall” band’s massive 2025 reunion tour, will screen in IMAX and cinemas worldwide on Sept. 11. It will then come to Disney+ and Hulu later in 2026 in the U.S. and Disney+ internationally.

Oasis’ tour marked the band’s first live shows in 16 years and officially ended the long-running and public feud between the formerly estranged brothers Liam Gallagher and Noel Gallagher. It included sold-out shows at stadiums around the world, including London’s Wembley Stadium and MetLife Stadium in East Rutherford, New Jersey.

“I genuinely cannot wait for the world to see this film,” says doc creator and producer Steven Knight in a statement. “I believe it captures the spirit and emotion of a global cultural moment and does justice to the wit and genius of two exceptional people.”

“I wanted to tell the story of the brothers and the band, but just as important, the story of the fans whose lives the music has touched and sometimes changed forever,” Knight continues. “It is also the story of how music and songwriting can unite generations, cultures, countries and in a time of spite and division, give us all some reason to hope.”

Meanwhile, Oasis will be inducted into the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame as part of its 2026 class. The induction ceremony will take place Nov. 14 in Los Angeles and will air on ABC and Disney+ in December.

Disney is the parent company of Hulu and ABC News.

May 8, 2026 by WDNY Radio

Slipknot percussionist Shawn “Clown” Crahan has shared in an interview with producer Rick Rubin’s Tetragrammaton podcast that he needs to undergo heart surgery.

“I have a skipping heart and I got to get a surgery,” Clown, 56, tells Rubin. “I found this out after my last tour.”

Clown says that when he went to see a doctor, “They thought I was having a heart attack right there.”

“I’ll go from ‘on’ to just straight up, I feel like I’m dying,” he says. “So I got to get a surgery.”

Clown adds that the operation is a “very easy surgery” and that “you’re usually out on the same day.” He also says that at first he thought he might have to get a pacemaker, which made him worried that he wouldn’t be able to continue to tour.

“[The doctor] goes, ‘Oh, no, you’re going to feel better,'” Clown says.

May 8, 2026 by WDNY Radio

Brendan Fraser is ready to return to the world of The Mummy.

The actor spoke about the upcoming fourth installment in the film franchise while guesting on The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon on Thursday.

“Well, we’re gonna get the band back together,” Fraser said. “The only way to do it. So, we are going to give the audience what they have been bothering all of us for, for the last 20-whatever years.”

Fraser said he’s been hoping another movie in the franchise would get made for a long time.

“I was hopeful for a long while, and then I was like, ‘I don’t know if they are.’ Then other Mummy movies got made. But listen, what we’re gonna do is saddle back up, go back to the locations — I should probably stop talking like this, because I don’t want to give everything away,” he said.

The actor continued, asking fans of the franchise to “please wish me luck.”

“I’m doing my best to get this 57-year-old gear in shape,” he said.

Fraser will reprise his role of Rick O’Connell in The Mummy 4, which is set for a theatrical release on Oct. 15, 2027.

DOJ seeks to denaturalize former diplomat convicted of spying for Cuba

May 8, 2026 by WDNY Radio

(WASHINGTON) — The Justice Department is seeking to denaturalize a former diplomat who was caught spying for the Cuban government.

For nearly 40 years, Manuel Rocha acted as a spy for the Cuban government under the guise of being a U.S. diplomat, according to the Justice Department.

Rocha is a native of Colombia, but became a “great friend” of the Cuban government. The lawsuit filed by the Justice Department in the Southern District of Florida alleges that he lied on his naturalization paperwork when he filed it in the late 1970’s.

“Under no circumstances should an agent of a foreign adversary be permitted to hold the title of American citizen,” Assistant Attorney General Brett Shumate said in a statement. “Our mission is clear: to root out these fraudsters and preserve the sanctity of the naturalization process for those who adhere to our laws. Any individual who lied during the naturalization process to gain a foothold in this country will be met with the full weight of the Department of Justice.”

He had worked at the State Department and held various leadership posts since the early 1980’s, according to the Justice Department. All of that unraveled when he was caught on video outlining all of his crimes to an undercover agent in 2022.

“Rocha celebrated his activities on behalf of the DGI and against the United States’ interests, and explained why and how he continued to preserve the secrecy of those activities,” according to court records unsealed in 2023.

He was sentenced to 15 years behind bars.

The U.S. Attorney for the Southern District of Florida Jason A. Reding Quiñones said that Rocha was not a “low level operative” but rather “a senior government official who admitted he secretly served the Cuban regime for decades.”
