Classic Hits

Barry Manilow has postponed more shows on his arena tour.

Manilow’s next scheduled show was booked for April 13 at UBS Arena in Long Island, New York. A post on the venue’s website says the show has now been postponed.

Newsday reports that an email from the arena went out to ticket holders noting that the show “will now be rescheduled to a later date due to doctor’s orders.”

While Manilow hasn’t made an official statement regarding the postponement, his website lists the UBS show, as well as all shows scheduled before a July 30 date in Charleston, South Carolina, as “TBD.” That includes shows in Newark, New Jersey; Wilkes-Barre and Reading, Pennsylvania; Portland, Maine; and Albany and Buffalo, New York.

Manilow had surgery in December to remove a cancerous spot on his left lung. In early February, he postponed dates for his Las Vegas residency in order to focus on healing, and then later that month postponed arena shows after his doctor advised him he wouldn’t be healthy enough to headline the concerts.

ABC Audio has reached out to Manilow’s rep for comment.

Peter Frampton has released another track off his upcoming solo album, Carry The Light.

“Lions at the Gate” featuring Rage Against the Machine guitarist Tom Morello is a protest song, which, according to a press release, “draws inspiration from lion statues outside Hollywood elite mansions in the 1920s. It symbolizes “a bold challenge to the ultra-powerful.”

“‘Lions at the Gate’ is a powerful track with a powerful message,” says Frampton, “and Tom’s playing took it to another level.”

The song, available now via digital outlets, also features vocals from Frampton’s son, Julian Frampton. It is the second track released from the album, following “Buried Treasure” which features Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers keyboardist Benmont Tench.

Carry the Light, dropping May 15, is Peter Frampton’s first album of all-new material in 16 years. In addition to Morello and Tench, it features guest appearances by Sheryl Crow, Graham Nash, H.E.R. and saxophonist Bill Evans.

Carry The Light will be released digitally, on CD and on 180-gram yellow vinyl. It will also be available as a limited-edition numbered vinyl featuring a premium cover. All formats are available for preorder now.

Kansas’ signature tune “Carry on Wayward Son” was featured prominently in the Saturday Night Live sketch “Husbands” on April 4, and the band’s guitarist and original member Rich Williams was happy to see it play a role in something so funny.

In the segment, a group of husbands are forced to hang out together as their wives chat in the kitchen. They have nothing to talk about, until host Jack Black begins singing “Carry on Wayward Son,” and the men all chime in and sing along.

“There’s always a good and bad side to things. Everybody I know is sending me the clip,” Williams tells New York Magazine’s Vulture column. “So it’s a nice problem to have, I’ll say that.”

Williams says over the past 50 years Kansas has had a reputation as a “really serious band,” but he notes, “We laugh all the time. We have a lot of stupid inside jokes and our own language.” He adds, “But to be a part of something like this is just wonderful.”

“It’s another feather in our cap that adds to our legacy,” he says. “We’re still out there and working, but to be acknowledged by an institution like Saturday Night Live? Wow.”

Williams describes Jack Black as “one of a kind,” noting “to see him involved in that sketch gave it a lot of credibility, because he’s a musician himself.”

But when it comes to the tune, Williams was unable to answer a question that’s probably been on a lot of fans’ minds — why isn’t the song named “Carry on My Wayward Son” since that’s what they sing in the song?

“Wow. That’s a good question, and I can’t answer that,” he says. “Maybe those two letters filled up too much room on the disc.”

Foreigner is set to release a live performance of their iconic track “Feels Like the First Time” on April 17.

The song will be the first single from their forthcoming album, In the Eye of the Storm, the soundtrack to their 50th anniversary concert film, which was shot in New York on Ellis Island and Brooklyn’s DUMBO House.

Next up, Foreigner will play a string of Florida shows with original frontman Lou Gramm starting April 17. They’ll also hit the road this summer with Lynyrd Skynyrd on the Double Trouble Double Vision Tour, which starts July 23 in Atlanta.

War Child has announced the return of its Secret 7″ series, which offers exclusive vinyl singles to raise money for the charity.

The 2026 Secret 7″ lineup includes John Lennon’s “Out the Blue,” which appeared on the late Beatle’s 1973 solo album, Mind Games. There are also tracks from Glass Animals, The Last Dinner Party, Bastille and more.

Only 100 copies of each single will be available, and every piece will be housed in its own unique record sleeve with completely different artwork. You can actually submit your own artwork to be featured on a sleeve now through June 1.

Once all the sleeves are ready, the records will go on display Aug. 18 at an exhibit in London and will go up for auction online.

“The artists’ identities and the track inside remain a mystery until the record is in the hands of the buyer,” War Child explains. “It’s anonymous by design and fans bid for the record sleeve they love, not the name behind it, with the track and visual artist behind the sleeves revealed once the auction ends.”

For more info, visit WarChild.org.uk.

War Child supports children affected by conflict around the world. Launched in 2012, the Secret 7” series has raised over $1.2 million to support the organization.

Roger Waters has announced that he and his son, Harry Waters, are looking for a singer who sounds like him to front a future Pink Floyd tribute tour.

The rocker revealed plans on social media for something called Legacy: A Pink Floyd Show, performed by the Harry Waters Band, with the tag line: “The Father’s Legacy, the Son’s Band.”

But before the tour can happen, they apparently need to find a singer.

“My son @harrywatersmusic has put a great band and show together to go on the road next year to pay tribute to the music from the golden era of @pinkfloyd and maybe a couple of songs from my subsequent solo career,” Roger writes. “Harry’s band is missing one thing. The voice I had when I was young.”

“Back in the day, I could sing everything from the soft urgency of ‘Hello, is there anybody in there?’ from ‘Comfortably Numb’, to the high-pitched scream of ‘You know how I need you to beat to a pulp on a Saturday night’ from ‘Don’t Leave Me Now,’” he continues. “Can you do that? Are you that missing voice?”

He adds, “If you are, this is your chance. This is an open invitation to audition for Harry’s band. I’m serious.”

Submissions to be that voice are now open at HarryWaters.com, with a deadline of April 30. The site notes that the tentative plan is for touring to start in February 2027.

Congratulations are in order for Mick Fleetwood.

The Rock & Roll Hall of Famer revealed in an Instagram post in late March that he has gotten married, sharing photos of him and wife Elizabeth on their honeymoon.

“The south Pacific does its magic !!! A honeymoon with my love Elizabeth…creating moments to be remembered !!” he captioned the post. “Sun health and happiness!!”

The post includes two photos of Mick and Elizabeth. In one Mick is wearing a black suit and Elizabeth is in what appears to be a white wedding dress with a fur jacket. The other is of them in front of the ocean, with Elizabeth once again in white, and Mick in a Hawaiian shirt with pink hat. In both photos, Elizabeth’s face is covered, and Mick can be seen wearing what appears to be a gold wedding band. There’s also a photo of Mick enjoying the crystal blue water, and another of him posing shirtless in front of the ocean.

This is the 78-year-old Fleetwood Mac drummer’s fifth marriage to his fourth wife. He was previously married twice to model Jenny Boyd, sister of Pattie Boyd, from 1970 to 1976 and from 1977 to 1978. He was also married to Sara Recor from 1988 to 1995 and to Lynn Frankel from 1995 to 2015.
