Blondie highlights cause that was important to drummer Clem Burke

December 2, 2025 by WDNY Radio

Blondie recently paid tribute to their late drummer Clem Burke on what would have been his 71st birthday, and they are continuing their tribute by telling fans about a cause that was important to him.

“In honor of Clem’s birthday this past week, we are highlighting the Clem Burke Drumming Project, which explores how drumming enhances physical, cognitive, emotional, and mental health,” they wrote on Instagram. The post explains that the organization’s goal is “to focus on initiatives that use drumming to support developmental and behavioral therapy, coping skills, and emotional expression for individuals of all ages.”

“Clem’s mission was to bring drums off the stage and into the lives of those who need them most,” the post continued. “If his lifelong work has inspired you, consider donating to fund research, outreach and programs that promote emotional expression, coping skills, and developmental growth.”

Posted on Giving Tuesday, the band also shared a link where fans can donate to the organization.

The Clem Burke Drumming Project was founded in 2008. Burke passed away on April 6 following a private battle with cancer.

December 2, 2025 by WDNY Radio

A$AP Rocky attended the 35th annual Gotham Film Awards Monday, where he was up for breakthrough performance for Highest 2 Lowest. It’s one of the films where he displays the acting chops that have even impressed his partner, Rihanna.

“Anytime I see him on camera in a movie, I’m like, ‘What?’ I get amazed because I didn’t know he had it in him, but he’s such a great talent,” Rih told Extra on the event’s red carpet, adding she’s “so proud” of what he’s accomplished thus far.

She also talked about their kids RZA Mayers, Riot Mayers and Rocki Mayers, who “are amazing” and “all getting bigger.” She said, “I cannot take it. My sons — oh, my God! — their faces are changing. Their necks are getting longer. I love it.”

Rocky, who described the kids as “cute as ever,” describedthe bond he sees between RZA and Riot.

“I’m surprised that the older two [are] getting along as much as they are, you know? Usually, you know, for them to be so close in age, they fight a lot, but … happy family,” he says.

Rocky lost the breakthrough performer award to Abou Sangaré, who took home the win for his role in Souleymane’s Story.

‘Wild Woman’ ‘Whirlwind’: Is Lainey Wilson about to duet with Aerosmith?

December 2, 2025 by WDNY Radio

Worlds collide! The CMA entertainer of the year may be singing with a legendary Rock & Roll Hall of Fame band.

The bad boys of Boston, Aerosmith, are teasing a new version of a song that appears on their new top-10 EP, One More Time.

“A ‘Wild Woman‘ feature coming soon,” they wrote on Instagram. “There was a cowgirl who loved this song so much that we had to add her on! Can you guess who?”

The post doesn’t name the cowgirl, but it includes a photo of a cowboy hat that looks an awful lot like the Charlie 1 Horse hat that Lainey designed as part of her collection with the brand.

The Aerosmith EP is a collaboration with rising British rocker Yungblud. He commented on Aerosmith’s post, “Let’s ride.” That could also be a Lainey clue: She recorded a song called “Let’s Ride!” with The Wiggles for their March 2025 album, Wiggle Up, Giddy Up – With Friends!

So far, there’s no word on when Aerosmith and Yungblud will be releasing the new take on “Wild Woman.”

After releasing the collaborative EP One More Time on Nov. 21, Aerosmith has revealed they’re releasing a new take on one of the EP’s tracks, “Wild Woman,” featuring a guest singer.

The post doesn’t name the cowgirl, but it includes a photo of a Western hat that seems to be hinting that it’s Lainey Wilson. The hat looks like the Charlie 1 Horse hat that’s part of the company behind Lainey Wilson’s collection.

Yungblud commented on Aerosmith’s post, writing, “Let’s ride,” which could also be a Lainey clue: She recorded a song called “Let’s Ride!” with The Wiggles for their March 2025 album, Wiggle Up, Giddy Up – With Friends!

So far, there’s no word on when Aerosmith and Yungblud will be releasing the new take on “Wild Woman.”

RHCP’s Flea to release new solo album in 2026; listen to song ‘A Plea’ now

December 2, 2025 by WDNY Radio

Red Hot Chili Peppers bassist Flea will release a new solo album in 2026.

The currently-untitled record sees Flea, as a press release puts it, “returning to his first instrument and musical love, the trumpet.”

The first preview of the album, a seven-minute track called “A Plea,” is out now. It features Flea on trumpet, electric bass and vocals, alongside an ensemble of jazz instrumentalists and vocalists.

Flea describes “A Plea” as a “yearning for a place beyond, a place of love, for me to speak my mind and be myself.”

“I’m always just trying to be myself,” Flea says. “I don’t care about the act of politics. I think there is a much more transcendent place above it where there’s discourse to be had that can actually help humanity, and actually help us all to live harmoniously and productively in a way that’s healthy for the world. There’s a place where we meet, and it’s love.”

You can watch the video for “A Plea,” which was directed by Flea’s daughter, Clara Balzary, streaming now on YouTube.

The most recent Chili Peppers album is 2022’s Return of the Dream Canteen, which marked their second record of that year, following Unlimited Love.
