Trent Reznor clarifies comments on future Nine Inch Nails touring plans

March 17, 2026 by WDNY Radio

Trent Reznor has clarified his comments regarding Nine Inch Nails’ future touring plans.

As previously reported, Reznor told the crowd at a show in February in Tulsa, Oklahoma, “I don’t know if we’re gonna be touring anymore after this.”

At NIN’s concert in Sacramento, California, on Monday, Reznor explained that his initial comments were referring specifically to the band’s Peel It Back tour and not Nine Inch Nails altogether.

“What I said was, this is the last show of this tour,” Reznor said, as seen in fan-shot video. “We don’t have any shows booked, and we don’t have any plans to book any shows any time in the future so far.”

“That doesn’t mean we may not tour again, we may tour again,” he continued. “I never said we were intentionally stopping, and I never meant that.”

Reznor also said that new Nine Inch Nails music is in the works.

The Sacramento show marked the last concert on the Peel It Back tour. Their only other scheduled upcoming show is a set at Coachella in April alongside collaborator Boys Noize.

Lance Bass to publish second children’s book, ‘The Legend of Mrs. Claws’

March 17, 2026 by WDNY Radio

Lance Bass published his debut children’s book, Trick or Treat on Scary Street, in 2024. He’s set to follow that with a second holiday-themed book, due out in September.

The Legend of Mrs. Claws is about a black cat who first appeared in Trick or Treat on Scary Street. On Instagram, Lance writes that the cat was “trying VERY hard to be scary… but mostly just causing chaos.”

“My kids immediately fell in love with her, and I started wondering what happens to a Halloween misfit once October is over,” he continues. “Well apparently… she sneaks onto Santa’s sleigh. Can’t wait for y’all to dive back into this world with me and meet this mischievous little stowaway.”

As Lance writes, “What if Mrs. Claws… was actually Santa’s cat?”

In an interview with People, Lance talks about the appeal of the character. “She’s a character who doesn’t quite fit the mold, and I think a lot of us can relate to that,” he notes. “It’s a reminder that sometimes the things that make us a little different — or the moments we think we got wrong — can end up leading us exactly where we belong.”

The book is out Sept. 29 and is now available for preorder.

Chris Young’s building a spot for his Famous Friends in Nashville

March 17, 2026 by WDNY Radio

When Chris Young opens his Famous Friends sports bar sometime this summer in Music City, it won’t be downtown on Lower Broadway, where most of the other stars’ watering holes are.

Instead, it’ll be at a spot that’s close to his heart: midtown Nashville.

“Demonbreun [Street] is definitely a place that I spent a lot of time,” Chris explains. “I lived over there for a while, and so, I’ve seen it change so much. I’ve walked up and down that street going to and from writes a billion times. I’ve seen people on their way up as artists playing in a lot of those spots over there and they’ve changed a lot over the years.”

It’s a spot that’s also inspired plenty of stories.

“This is a place that I’ve got a lot of great memories [of],” Chris says. “Me and Shay Mooney from Dan + Shay singing at the top of our lungs in some of those places for no reason whatsoever — little memories like that that I think are important.”

“And I think that that street’s always been very important to Nashville,” he adds. “You know, being able to create another spot there, and hopefully a spot that people love and love to go to. Hopefully people will remember it for a long time.”

Famous Friends will be located at 1516A Demonbreun Street, near Tin Roof.

What’s Jenny’s number? ‘867-5309’ will now get you cancer care

March 17, 2026 by WDNY Radio

You’ve probably seen those TikToks where people go around their offices, ask co-workers what year they were born, and then ask them what Jenny’s number is. The answer, of course, is “867-5309,” the title of the 1982 top-5 hit by the band Tommy Tutone. But now, pop music’s most famous phone number is being put to good use.

The nonprofit Cancer Support Community, along with Gilda’s Club locations, has taken over the number, with full endorsement from the band. Now, anyone impacted by cancer who calls CSC-867-5309 will receive support, information and personalized guidance from trained specialists.

“I gave a ‘yes’ as soon as they asked me, because we’ve all got to give back sometimes,” says Tommy Tutone lead singer Tommy Heath, whose own family has been impacted by cancer. Heath, who’s still touring and recording new music, tells ABC Audio that he’s continually amazed at the ongoing popularity of the tune.

“Everybody knows that song,” says Heath, 78. “It’s the number three password in the world. It’s the number girls give the guys that don’t want to give them their real number … I think every young person knows what it is.”

He laughs, “I don’t know why [the ’80s] resonates so well. … Several people told me that it was the high point of Western civilization!”

There are varying accounts of what inspired the song, but Heath swears there’s a real Jenny, and 867-5309 was her parents’ number. “I speak to her once in a while. We joke about having a reality show about what really happened,” he says.

“But I remember introducing her to my wife and saying, ‘This is Jenny,'” he recalls. “And [she goes], ‘Hi, Jenny.’ And I go, “No, this is JENNY!”

‘The Grateful Dead Movie’ soundtrack getting first-ever vinyl release

March 17, 2026 by WDNY Radio

The soundtrack to Grateful Dead’s 1977 concert documentary, The Grateful Dead Movie, is getting its first-ever vinyl release.

The fully restored soundtrack is being released as a 10-LP set featuring performances of such Dead songs as “Playing in the Band,” “The Other One,” “Scarlet Begonias,” “Casey Jones,” “Dark Star” and more.

The film, one of only two directed by late Dead founder Jerry Garcia, is a recording of the band’s five-night stand at San Francisco’s Winterland Ballroom in October 1974, which at the time was believed to be their final set of shows. The run also saw the return of drummer Mickey Hart, who had left the band in 1971.

The new set, being released by Mondo in partnership with Rhino Records, is not only the first time the soundtrack is being released on vinyl, but the first time it’s been available in any format since 2005. It is pressed on colored, audiophile quality vinyl and will feature all 44 songs that appeared on the original CD release. It comes with 42-page book with rare and previously unseen photos and an essay by Dead historian Nicholas G. Meriwether.

“Widely considered one of the greatest runs of shows in the Grateful Dead’s history, October 1974 at the Winterland featured inspired, exciting and out-of-this-world playing,” says Grateful Dead archivist David Lemieux. “We’re proud to partner with Mondo for a vinyl release that celebrates and preserves this essential document of the band’s legacy.”

The Grateful Dead Movie box set is limited to just 3,000 individually numbered units and is available for preorder now; shipping is expected in May.

JID says European/UK leg of God Does Like World Tours is ‘a celebratory event’

March 17, 2026 by WDNY Radio

JID has a lot to celebrate, so he’s doing it on the road. The rapper kicked of the European/U.K. leg of his God Does Like World Tours on March 2, which he confirmed will be a little different from the shows on his U.S. run.

“We always tailor or make sure each show is kind of like a fingerprint, like all different,” he told ABC Audio ahead of its start. “We have some things that we’re planning for this tour and it’s definitely going to be different. And it’s going to be great.”

“[We’re] just celebrating the album, celebrating the nominations, celebrating seeing my fans on this side of the water,” he continued. “It’s all a blessing to be able to do that … So I just take it in stride and make sure I put on the best show that I can for my fans and just celebrate it all. ‘Cause it’s going to be a celebratory event.”

The album JID is celebrating is his latest, God Does Like Ugly. It earned a best rap album nomination while its single “Wholeheartedly” featuring Ty Dolla $ign and 6lack was nominated for best melodic rap performance at the 2026 Grammys — an experience he generally enjoyed.

“It was amazing. It’s just cool being around like your peers and other amazing artists and creatives just in the field and being celebrated,” he said. “Whether it’s like a nomination or whether you just there just to be around the moment. That was cool for sure. I had a great time.”

He said it gave him momentum to continue working hard in his career.

“The Grammys…leaves you inspired and it kinda makes you wanna go again,” he said. “So [I’ll] just keep on making the music that I love and be truthful, making sure everything I do is true.”

Nick Jonas reveals his pick for ultimate wedding song

March 17, 2026 by WDNY Radio

Nick Jonas knows a thing or two about weddings: When he married Priyanka Chopra Jonas in 2018, the festivities lasted three days. That’s why you should trust him when it comes to picking the perfect wedding song, right?

In his new movie Power Ballad, Nick plays a fading boy band star who steals a song from a wedding singer, played by Paul Rudd, and uses it to revive his career. Asked by Entertainment Weekly to name the ultimate wedding song at the movie’s premiere at the South by Southwest Festival on Saturday, Nick said, “There are so many. One that I go to all the time is probably Bryan Adams’ ‘(Everything I Do) I Do It for You,'” before singing a bit of the #1 hit.

Notably, Nick’s actual wedding song — at one of the two ceremonies he and Priyanka had — was Roberta Flack’s version of “The First Time Ever I Saw Your Face.”

Meanwhile, Paul Rudd told EW that he likes to “go against the wedding grain,” adding, “I think, like, a great wedding song would be, you know, some kind of punk song or something that is incongruous to what you would think a wedding song would be.”

Paul wed wife Julie Yaeger in 2003, but their actual wedding song is unknown.

Power Ballad, due out June 5, got an amazing reception at the festival, according to Vulture. “It’s the biggest crowd-pleaser of the fest so far — I’m talking loud laughter, tears, cheers erupting throughout, and nary a soul leaving before the Q&A,” the publication wrote on Monday.

During that Q&A, Nick got laughs by joking that of course he said “yes” to a movie about “a former boy band member turned solo artist trying to find himself.”

Former KISS guitarist Vinnie Vincent has a new album, but if you want it you’ll have to shell out a whole lot of money.

The rocker revealed on the website for his band Vinnie Vincent Invasion that his new album, Guitarmageddon, is finished, and he’s selling it for a whopping $2 million.

“It’s been a long time in the making,” reads a post on the site. “I am very proud of this very special album.”

Now while the price is high, that’s not just for a CD or vinyl copy of the album. The $2 million price tag is for the master of the recording.

“This includes 10 songs mixed in master, final product format, all the master files of the artwork, related posters, and 10 separate vinyl and CD packaging art for each individual song, should the buyer choose to release the album on a per-song basis,” reads the post, which suggests the buyer can make back the money by releasing the album.

“The buyer can choose to release the entire album in any format they desire…vinyl, CD, or any other configuration, in whole or in part, at their discretion,” the post continues, although any marketing of the album must be approved by Vincent.

The post also says that the purchase price doesn’t include “any right, title, or interest in the copyrights and/or trademarks related to Vinnie Vincent or the product itself.”

And if $2 million is a bit too steep, Vincent is also offering up another option, each song separately at a cost of $200,000 apiece.
