Bonnie Raitt is set to return to Austin City Limits to help celebrate Brandi Carlile as she’s inducted into the Austin City Limits Hall of Fame.
The 12th annual ACL Hall of Fame induction will take place July 1 at ACL Live at The Moody Theater in Austin, Texas. Raitt will handle Carlile’s induction and also perform.
“Being inducted into the ACL Hall of Fame by one of my absolute heroes — Bonnie Raitt — means everything to me,” says Carlile. “I’m so grateful to have had such a deep and powerful connection to the city of Austin and Austin City Limits all these years — and I cannot wait to hit the Moody stage in July to celebrate this immense honor.”
Raitt adds that she’s thrilled to be inducting Carlile.
“She is truly one of our most respected and impactful artists. I admire her not only for her incredible music, but for standing up for the causes and artists she’s passionate about, all while balancing her wonderful family life,” says Raitt. “I can’t wait to get to perform together for this show that has meant so much to us both.”
Highlights from the induction will air during season 52 of Austin City Limits, which will premiere on PBS in September.
Raitt, who made her ACL debut in 1984, was inducted into the ACL Hall of Fame in 2016.

Queen has gotten into the wine business.
The Rock & Roll Hall of Famers have just debuted the new Queen Côtes de Provence Rosé, with wine lover Roger Taylor taking a hands-on role in its creation.
According to the website’s description, the rosé “captures the pure essence of Provence with a rhapsody of wild strawberry and ripe red berry aromas,” noting its “beautifully balanced texture harmonises ripe, supple fruit with fresh citrus acidity giving a silky creaminess to the mid palate,” which is “an unmistakable sign of a great rosé.”
“I’ve spent a lot of time around wine over the years and I wanted to create something that felt consistent, expressive and genuinely enjoyable in partnership with good friends,” says Taylor. “It needed to have that sense of joy to it – something that brings people together.”
He adds, “This isn’t about putting a name on a bottle; it’s about creating something with integrity.”
As for why he chose rosé, in a post on Instagram Taylor explains, “For me, rosé has always been about joy – that moment of elation when you raise a glass with people you love. I wanted to create a wine that carries that same feeling.”
Queen Côtes de Provence Rosé is currently only available for those in the U.K. More information can be found on the wine’s website, queenwinesofficial.com.

Bryan Adams’ biggest hit is also one of the bestselling singles of all time, but even though it came out back in 1991, it’s only now hitting a major YouTube milestone.
“(Everything I Do) I Do It For You” has just joined the Billion Views Club on the streaming platform. It’s Bryan’s second video to hit that mark, following the clip for his 1993 hit “Please Forgive Me.”
“(Everything I Do) I Do It For You” was written for the Kevin Costner movie Robin Hood: Prince of Thieves and spent seven weeks at #1 on the Billboard Hot 100; it was also the publication’s #1 song of 1991. It went on to sell over 15 million copies worldwide and win Bryan a Grammy for best song written specifically for a motion picture or television. It was also nominated for an Oscar, but lost to Celine Dion’s title track for Beauty and the Beast.
“(Everything I Do) I Do It For You” is one of Bryan’s four #1 hits, all of which were written for movies. 1985’s “Heaven” was from A Night in Heaven, while “All For One,” a collaboration with Rod Stewart and Sting, was from the 1993 movie The Three Musketeers. 1995’s “Have You Ever Really Loved a Woman” was written for the Johnny Depp movie Don Juan DeMarco.

Is Bruce Springsteen America’s greatest protest singer? He made a decent case for it Tuesday night, when he brought his Land of Hope and Dreams American tour to Belmont, New York.
“The E Street Band was built for hard times,” Springsteen remarked, as he cherry-picked his massive catalog to spotlight tales of crumbling cities, death and powerlessness, punctuated by the message that hope is possible if we work together. As Springsteen put it in one of several speeches on Tuesday night railing against the current administration, “This American tragedy can only be stopped by the American people.”
Kicking off with the one-two punch of Edwin Starr’s “War” and his own “Born in the U.S.A.,” Springsteen led the band and guest guitarist/vocalist Tom Morello through songs whose titles alone conjured the story he’s telling with this tour: a cover of The Clash’s “Clampdown,” “Death to My Hometown,” “No Surrender,” “Darkness on the Edge of Town,” “My City of Ruins,” “Wrecking Ball,” “Badlands,” “Murder Incorporated” and what Springsteen called “our immigrant song,” “American Land.”
The setlist also highlighted how songs Springsteen wrote years ago — most notably “American Skin (41 Shots)” and “The Ghost of Tom Joad” — are scarily relevant again. They sat comfortably next to his recent song, “Streets of Minneapolis,” which details the deaths of Renee Good and Alex Pretti. Springsteen led the crowd in chants of “ICE out now!” during that number.
But the show wasn’t all despair and anger: Springsteen lightened the mood periodically with songs like “The Promised Land,” “Two Hearts,” “Land of Hope and Dreams” and “Hungry Heart,” while the encore featured the joyous singalongs “Born to Run,” “Dancing in the Dark” and “Tenth Avenue Freeze-Out.” With it being Cinco de Mayo, he even accepted and downed a shot offered by some women in the crowd.
The show ended on a hopeful note with a song by another great American protest singer, Bob Dylan. Springsteen sang “Chimes of Freedom” and then closed the circle with his walk-off music: Dylan’s mentor Woody Guthrie singing “This Land Is Your Land.”

The Rolling Stones celebrated the announcement of their new album, Foreign Tongues, at a launch party in Brooklyn, New York, Tuesday, where they sat down to chat with comedian Conan O’Brien.
At the event, those in attendance got to hear three songs from the album, including “Mr. Charm” and “Jealous Lover,” and got a peak of the video for the album’s first single, “In the Stars,” featuring actress Odessa A’zion.
Foreign Tongues is the followup to 2023’s Hackney Diamonds, and like Diamonds, it was produced by Andrew Watt. So, how is Foreign Tongues different than their last record?
On the red carpet for the event, Mick Jagger told ABC Audio Foreign Tongues is sort of a “continuation” of Hackney Diamonds, but notes, “it is somehow, I don’t know in what way, it’s different.”
He added that Foreign Tongues has “more variation” and fans can expect to hear everything from blues, pop and even country and “two or three dance songs.”
Ronnie Wood revealed that the album has “a lot of explosive rock and roll, which I think the fans will really dig,” adding it has “heavy spontaneity and more solos.”
The Stones have been putting out records for more than 60 years, and according to Keith Richards “there’s no fixed plan” when it comes to making them.
“There’s more in there and the boys want to play and you can’t ignore stuff like that, you know?” he said. “At least from my point of view, I follow the energy and I follow what’s happening.”
Foreign Tongues, dropping July 10, features an appearance by the band’s late drummer, Charlie Watts, and also includes guest appearances by Paul McCartney, Steve Winwood, The Cure’s Robert Smith and Red Hot Chili Peppers drummer Chad Smith.

A documentary about the life of Rock & Roll of Famer Darlene Love is in the works from TPH Entertainment, actress Taraji P. Henson’s production company.
Darlene Love: I Know Where I’ve Been tells the story of the singer’s six-decade career against the backdrop of the racism she faced throughout her career, as well as the civil rights movement. The story will be told “in her own words and through her own eyes,” according to a press release.
Among those interviewed in the documentary are Bruce Springsteen, Steven Van Zandt, Cher, Dionne Warwick, Nancy Sinatra, Jimmy Fallon and David Letterman. Love famously performed her signature hit “Christmas (Baby Please Come Home)” annually on Late Night with David Letterman from 1986 to 1993, and then on The Late Show with David Letterman annually from 1993 to 2014.
Love began as a backup singer for artists ranging from Sam Cooke to Frank Sinatra to The Beach Boys. When she began working with producer Phil Spector, he released many of the records she sang on under different names, including the #1 hit “He’s a Rebel” credited to The Crystals. As a result, Love’s voice was famous, but she wasn’t. The 2013 documentary 20 Feet from Stardom, about backup singers, shed light on her contributions.
Love was inducted into the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame in 2011. She’s also had an acting career, including playing Trish Murtaugh, the wife of Danny Glover’s character, in the four Lethal Weapon movies.

Squeeze is set to hit the road this summer on a North American tour.
The “Tempted” band has announced dates for a new tour, featuring special guests Adam Ant, Haircut 100 and Leon Tilbrook, son of Squeeze’s Glenn Tilbrook.
The tour kicks off Aug. 16 in Nashville and features stops in Atlanta, New York, Boston, Las Vegas, Los Angeles and more before wrapping Sept. 27 in Detroit.
An artist presale is set to begin Wednesday, with tickets going on sale to the general public Friday at 10 a.m. local time.
The tour follows the March release of Squeeze’s new album, Trixies, which featured some of the first songs Squeeze’s Chris Difford and Glenn Tilbrook ever wrote together. They were written by the duo back in 1974 when they were teens and recording was beyond their skill set.
Paul McCartney, ‘The Boys of Dungeon Lane’ (MPL/Capitol Records)
Paul McCartney will let fans hear one of the most eagerly anticipated tracks on his new album, The Boys of Dungeon Lane, on Friday.
That’s the day he’s releasing “Home to Us,” which features his old bandmate Ringo Starr on vocals and drums. You can hear a snippet of the song, minus the vocals, on McCartney’s Instagram.
But Starr’s voice isn’t the only one you’ll hear on the track: Backing vocals were provided by Pretenders frontwoman Chrissie Hynde and Sharleen Spiteri from the band Texas.
McCartney says in a statement, “This song [was] done totally with Ringo in mind. In writing the song, I’m talking about where we came from. In common with a lot of people, you come from nothing and you build yourself up.”
He adds, referring to his and Starr’s rough Liverpool upbringing, “Even though it was crazy, it was home to us.”
McCartney said after he sent the song to Starr, the drummer sent him back a version in which he’d sung a few lines in the chorus. “I thought, maybe he doesn’t like it. I rang him and he said he thought I only wanted him to sing one or two lines, and I said I’d love to hear him sing the whole thing,” McCartney recalled.
“So we took my first line, Ringo’s second line, and then we had a duet. We’d never done that before.”
McCartney said Hynde and Spiteri were recruited because, “I had the idea it would be nice to hear girls.”
McCartney’s new album, The Boys of Dungeon Lane, will be released May 29. It’s his first solo album since 2020’s McCartney III.
