David Bowie wanted ‘Peaky Blinders’ to use songs from ‘Blackstar’ on the show

March 18, 2026 by WDNY Radio

The new Peaky Blinders movie, Peaky Blinders: The Immortal Man, is in select theaters now and will debut on Netflix Friday. To coincide with the release, its star Cillian Murphy has shared his choices for the ultimate Peaky Blinders playlist, and that includes“Lazarus” from David Bowie’s final album, Blackstar.

It turns out, Bowie had a real connection to the series, which debuted on Netflix in 2014, and always wanted his music to be a part of it.

In a interview posted to Instagram, Murphy says Bowie was “a very early advocate of the TV show,” noting, “He loved it from the start when many people didn’t.”

“I worked with him briefly in the year before he died and we’d spoke about it,” he says. “He told me how much he loved it and then I sent him the cap that I wear in series 1 with the razor blade in it and everything. And he sent me back a picture of him wearing it, which I treasure.”

Murphy says after Bowie died in 2016, they found out he had wanted songs from Blackstar to be used in the show.

“We were all like speechless and just kind of overwhelmed and just beyond moved,” Murphy says. “And then we tried to use them in a fitting way and I think that it really works.”

Also included on Murphy’s playlist is Black Sabbath’s “War Pigs.” Murphy notes “you could draw some line” between his character Tommy Shelby and Ozzy Osbourne. “Kind of rebels, both of them,” he says.

The list also includes songs by Sinéad O’Connor, Leonard Cohen and Radiohead Thom Yorke.

Sublime exhibit to debut at Grammy Museum in LA

March 18, 2026 by WDNY Radio

The Grammy Museum in Los Angeles has announced a new exhibit dedicated to Sublime.

Among the items going on display include handwritten lyrics to the songs “Wrong Way” and “Garden Grove,” used instruments and equipment, rare photos, and the bucket hat late frontman Bradley Nowell wore in the video for “Badfish.”

“It’s incredible that we have sold so many albums and have not toured or wrote new music in 30 years — a true testament to our fans for keeping this dream alive,” says drummer Bud Gaugh in a statement. “Seeing the Grammy Museum celebrate this chapter of our story with an exhibit is really meaningful to us. Thank you to the fans for all of the support, you are all crazy and we are crazy in love with you!”

The Sublime exhibit will be open from March 27 to Sept. 7. You can buy tickets now via GrammyMuseum.org.

Sublime disbanded in 1996 following the death of Nowell. They reformed in 2023 with Nowell’s son, Jakob Nowell, alongside original members Gaugh and bassist Eric Wilson.

A new Sublime album, the first in 30 years, is due out later in 2026.

Is Sphere Las Vegas about to turn Pink?

March 18, 2026 by WDNY Radio

Backstreet Boys were the first pop act to have a residency at Sphere Las Vegas, but so far, there haven’t been any solo pop acts who’ve done it. However, that might be changing.

The Las Vegas Review-Journal reports that Pink is “all but signed” to play the venue in 2027, though there have been no official confirmations or denials. Pink reportedly looked into Vegas venues as far back as 10 years ago, the outlet reports, but nothing ever came of it, perhaps because at the time, there were no venues available that could accommodate the aerial tricks that make up a big part of her shows.

The Sphere, however, can definitely accommodate those kinds of stunts, with a ceiling that’s 366 feet high. That’s about the length of a football field standing on its edge.

Pink’s most recent tour wrapped up in November 2024. She and her family recently moved to New York City to help her daughter Willow Sage Hart pursue her Broadway dreams.

No Doubt will make their Sphere debut starting in May, while previous headliners Kenny Chesney, the Eagles and Phish are returning for more shows. Metallica will start their residency in October, and Mexican artist Carin León will perform there in September.

And after all, how long will the Oasis documentary be?

March 17, 2026 by WDNY Radio

The story of the Oasis comeback is turning out to be quite a long one to tell.

According to Steven Knight, who’s producing a documentary on the “Wonderwall” outfit’s 2025 reunion tour, the length of the upcoming film currently rivals that of the extended versions of the Lord of the Rings movies.

“We’ve got it down to four hours,” Knight tells the Project Big Screen podcast. “So we’ve gotta get it down.”

Knight further describes the movie as “a documentary with a plot.”

“It’s actually got a story, and then we’ve expanded it,” Knight says. “You’ll see when you see.”

It also sounds likes a good portion of the four hours will be filled with memorable lines from brothers Noel Gallagher and Liam Gallagher.

“They’re just one quote after another,” Knight says. “They’re just so funny.”

Oasis’ reunion tour marked the band’s first live shows in 16 years, and officially ended the long-running feud between the Gallagher brothers.

OG Pussycat Doll claims she wasn’t invited to take part in reunion tour: ‘Disappointing on a personal level’

March 17, 2026 by WDNY Radio

The Pussycat Dolls announced a reunion tour in 2019 featuring five of the original six members, which was subsequently canceled due to legal disputes. For the group’s newly announced reunion tour, there are only three Dolls participating — Kimberly Wyatt, Ashley Roberts and Nicole Scherzinger — and one original member is now claiming she never got the invite.

On Tuesday, O.G. Doll Carmit Bachar, who was part of that original canceled reunion tour, wrote on Instagram that she wanted to “speak honestly and respectfully.” She then wrote, “I was not contacted regarding the group’s decision to move forward, and I learned of these plans at the same time as the public.”

“Given my history with the brand, having been part of its foundation long before its commercial debut and instrumental in the connections that led to the record deal…I would have appreciated direct communication,” she went on to say. “While this is disappointing on a personal level, I remain proud of the role I played in helping shape what The Pussycat Dolls became.”

Carmit noted, “My intention in sharing this is not to create division, but to honor the truth and the fans who have supported us throughout the years. Transparency and respect are values I hold deeply.”

She signed off by saying she’s focusing on her well-being and remains “open-hearted about the future.” She also promised information about upcoming projects as well as “an exciting collaboration with a television and music industry icon.”

Meanwhile, the new PCD tour is set to start June 5 in Palm Desert, California.

It was rare, we were there: Happy three-year anniversary to Taylor Swift’s Eras Tour

March 17, 2026 by WDNY Radio

It was a long time coming, but Taylor Swift’s record-breaking Eras Tour launched three years ago on March 17, 2023.

Taylor’s first stadium tour since 2018 kicked off in Glendale, Arizona, and wrapped up in Vancouver, British Columbia, in December 2024. Along the way, it visited 149 shows in 51 cities across five continents and became the highest-grossing tour of all time.

Running more than 3.5 hours, the Eras Tour was also the first to earn more than $1 billion and then $2 billion. The Federal Reserve even credited the tour with boosting the U.S. economy, contributing more than $4 billion to the country’s GDP. Taylor herself became a billionaire, allowing her to eventually buy back the rights to her master recordings.

In addition to earning buckets of money, the Eras Tour became a cultural phenomenon. Cities renamed themselves in honor of the tour. Superstars flocked to witness it. Media outlets hired full-time correspondents to cover it. And one guy in Kansas City got so upset that he didn’t get to meet Taylor after the show one night that he proposed to her just over two years later.

The Eras Tour boosted sales of Taylor’s entire catalog and sent her 2019 song “Cruel Summer” to #1 on the Billboard Hot 100. In the midst of the tour in 2024, she released a new album, The Tortured Poets Society, and in October 2025, she released another new album, The Life of a Showgirl, which she’d written and recorded while on tour. Both of those albums broke sales records.

The Eras Tour was captured in a movie, which became the highest-grossing concert film of all time and in a Disney+ docuseries; the final show was also turned into a Disney+ special.

Right now on the Taylor Nation Instagram page, you can share your favorite memories of the tour.
