Classic Hits

The 50th anniversary of former Yes frontman Jon Anderson’s solo debut, Olias of Sunhillow, will be celebrated with an audiophile vinyl reissue from Mobile Fidelity.

The original, released July 9, 1976, was recorded while Yes was on a break. It was self-produced by Anderson, who played all the instruments on the record. It was a concept album, following four tribes of an alien race in search of a new planet after a volcanic eruption threatens their home.

“The evolution of the idea took me on an everlasting mission, driving me a bit crazy but nonetheless a satisfying experience which has stood the test of time,” says Anderson, who adds that he hopes fans “enjoy the journey!”

The Olias of Sunhillow reissue will be limited to 2,000 numbered copies. The audiophile vinyl is only the second domestic vinyl version of the album since its original 1976 release. It is available for preorder now.

A new trailer has just been released for Boy George & Culture Club, a documentary about the popular ’80s British group known for such hits songs as “Karma Chameleon,” “Do You Really Want To Hurt Me,” “I’ll Tumble 4 Ya” and more.

The trailer features archival footage of the band, along with new interview clips from all the members — singer Boy George, drummer Jon Moss, bass player Mikey Craig and guitarist Roy Hay.

The clip touches on Boy George’s difficulty dealing with the band’s rise to fame, as well as media attention around his look, jealousy within the band over Boy George’s popularity, the relationship between the singer and Moss, and more.

“Through rare archival footage, candid interviews, and behind-the-scenes access, the film explores themes of identity, artistry, resilience, and reinvention,” reads a description of the film on Instagram.

Boy George & Culture Club, directed by Alison Ellwood, had its premiere at the Tribeca Festival in 2025. It will be available to stream starting June 9.

Stevie Nicks played New Orleans’ Jazz Fest Saturday and treated fans to a Fleetwood Mac song she hasn’t played in over a decade.

Fan-shot footage posted to YouTube shows Stevie performing the Rumours hit “Don’t Stop,” which is normally sung by Lindsey Buckingham and Christine McVie.

Nicks told the Jazz Fest crowd it was a song she and her band hadn’t played in a long time, noting, “It feels like a good time to do it.” She added, “It’s a happy song, it has a lot of hope.”

According to setlist.fm, the last time Stevie performed “Don’t Stop” at one of her solo shows was in 2011.

“Don’t Stop” was one of several Fleetwood Mac songs that made up Nicks’ Jazz Fest set. Others included “Gypsy,” “Dreams,” “Rhiannon,” “Landslide” and “Gold Dust Woman.” Her set also featured solo hits “Stand Back” and “Edge of Seventeen,” as well as her most recent single, “The Lighthouse,” and “Stop Draggin’ My Heart Around,” her duet with Tom Petty.

Cyndi Lauper has no problem clapping back at hecklers.

The Rock & Roll Hall of Famer proved that point during the Friday night show of her residency at The Colosseum at Caesars Palace, when a member of the audience started yelling at the stage while she was in the middle of a serious introduction to her 1993 song “Sally’s Pigeons.”

Footage posted to social media shows Lauper replying to the heckler, “I don’t know what the f*** you’re saying, hon. Please remember where you are, OK? ‘Cause if you’re trying to shade me, b****, I’m going to come for you.”

She then added, “I’m from Brooklyn. OK. And if I wanna f***** talk, I will do a tap dance if I f***** want,” before joking, “Sorry, that of course is not part of my people skills.”

Lauper has three more shows left of her Vegas residency. Her next show is Wednesday. A complete list of dates can be found at CyndiLauper.com.

On This Day, April 27, 1952…

Paul Daniel Frehley, better known as KISS guitarist and co-founder Ace Frehley, was born in the Bronx, New York.

Frehley co-founded KISS with Paul Stanley, Gene Simmons and Peter Criss in New York City in 1973. They released their self-titled debut in 1974 and began to gain a following thanks to their live shows, which included face paint, wild stage outfits and plenty of pyrotechnics. Frehley’s costumed stage persona with the band was The Spaceman.

Their breakthrough came after the release of 1975’s Alive!, a double live album that featured live recordings from their first three records. It peaked at #9 on the Billboard chart and sold over 9 million copies worldwide.

KISS went on to become one of the bestselling bands of all time, and was inducted into the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame in 2014.

Frehley passed away Oct. 18, 2025, at the age of 74.

David Lee Roth made his third trip to the desert this weekend.

After joining Teddy Swims to perform Van Halen’s “Jump” for both weekends of Coachella, on Saturday Roth once again joined Swims for the song, this time during Swims’ Stagecoach Festival performance.

Like Coachella, Stagecoach took place at the Empire Polo Club in Indio, California.

Prior to the performance, Swims told Good Morning America that Roth has been “so generous” to him.

“He’s like, ‘man, I’ll follow you on tour and get up there every night if you want,’” Swims said. “He’s the freakin’ man. Van Halen’s my favorite band. He’s the best singer of all time.”

As for how they became friends, Swims says Roth was rehearsing near him a few weeks ago, and he got to hang with him.

“He was so gracious to share his rum and cokes with me and talk to me about all his crazy stories and I asked if he wanted to come play with me,” he explained. “He’s the coolest guy in the world. And on and off stage he’s always, like, on. He’s really, what you see on stage is what you get, like all the time, 24 hours a day. He’s a real rock star.”

Roth is currently on his Don’t Love Me, Rent Me tour, which hits Austin, Texas, on Wednesday.

Lindsey Buckingham is giving fans a little insight into what inspires him to continue to create new music. The rocker broached the subject in a video posted to Instagram, captioned, “Remember, you always have choices.”

“The thing about new music or about continuing to make any music at all is that you are again presented with a choice,” he says. “Do you follow your instincts? Do you following your gut? Do follow your vision? Do you take risks? Or do you find yourself somewhat caught in repeating formulas or concepts of yourself that have been defined externally for you?”

Buckingham goes on to mention an unnamed artist who told him, “I just don’t get excited about making my albums anymore. I don’t get excited about writing,” to which Buckingham told him, without judgement, “Well, you know, you have taken that road of fulfilling expectations that are foisted on you to some degree.”

“I had the luxury to be in a hugely successful band that could have swallowed me alive,” he says, referring to Fleetwood Mac. “But I somehow was able to use the opportunity from that to reject some of what that was about on a commercial level, on a monetary level, even on an artistic level.”

He compared the decision to making a Steven Spielberg film versus an indie film, noting an artist is more likely to grow with an indie film.

“I’m just saying, if you’re going to follow the commerce, you’re not necessarily going to find the religion in what you do,” he concludes. “And so when I contemplate the idea of continuing to write new music and to make new albums, it’s in pursuit of and because of the religion, for sure.”

Ringo Starr has released a new video for the title track of his just-released new album, Long Long Road, his second with producer T Bone Burnett.

The song features vocals from Sheryl Crow and Daniel Tashian. The video, directed by Ringo’s stepdaughter, Francesca Gregorini, follows the two-time Rock & Roll Hall of Famer as he drives through scenes from his life, sharing some personal and previously unseen images with the public.

“We’re talking about this Long Long Road I’ve been on – and I’ve been thinking about the road I’ve taken,” Ringo says. “I could have taken another path but I took this one and ended up here, still on this Long Long Road. I loved making this record with T Bone and I hope you enjoy listening to it.”

Ringo and his All Starr Band — Toto’s Steve Lukather, Men At Work’s Colin Hay, Warren Ham, Hamish Stuart, Gregg Bissonette and Buck Johnson — are getting ready to hit the road again.

Tedeschi Trucks Band took time out of their latest show to pay tribute to late Traffic co-founder Dave Mason, who passed away April 19 at the age of 79.

The group was headlining their Sun, Sand and Soul Festival 2026 in Miramar Beach, Florida, on Thursday when they decided to cover Traffic’s “Feelin’ Alright?,” which was written by Mason.

“I’m just going to have to dedicate this one to an amazing musician, an amazing songwriter, who just passed recently who was a dear friend of ours, for Dave Mason,” Susan Tedeschi told the crowd, as shown in fan-shot footage posted to YouTube. “This is one of his songs. Just gonna send it out to him, up there in heaven, jamming with all the cool guys.”

Tedeschi Trucks Band have performed the tune in the past, with Susan and Derek Trucks most recently performing it in November with Teddy Swims as part of Joe Cocker’s induction into the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame.

“Feelin’ Alright?” appeared on Traffic’s 1968 sophomore album. The song has gone on to be covered by a variety of artists, most notably Cocker, who left off the question mark in the title and made it a hit.

Also paying tribute to Mason is Mick Fleetwood, who posted a carousel of photos of them together, including one of Mason during his brief tenure with Fleetwood Mac. He also wrote of his friendship with Mason, ending the post with, “I love the friend I have lost,” before sending his love to Mason’s wife, Winifred Wilson.
