Watch Myles Smith and Niall Horan perform in a London pub

February 10, 2026 by WDNY Radio

Myles Smith and Niall Horan released their collaborative single “Drive Safe” on Friday, and on Monday night they gave the song its live debut in a London pub.

The two artists took over De Hems Dutch Cafe and Bar to perform an acoustic version of “Drive Safe,” as well a version of The Neighbourhood’s song “Sweater Weather,” a song that Myles often covered in his pre-fame days. They also performed outside, in front of the bar.

The bar’s Instagram post about the show also apologized to “the regulars who couldn’t get their standard Monday night pint” because of the “cheeky surprise gig.”

The venue also posted some behind-the-scenes footage of the setup for the gig, which wasn’t exactly spontaneous: there were professional cameramen filming, as well as a teleprompter and lighting.

“Drive Safe” is Myles’ follow-up to his single “Stay (If You Wanna Dance).”

Cardi B and Stefon Diggs spark breakup rumors

February 10, 2026 by WDNY Radio

Cardi B and Stefon Diggs no more?

That’s the question many fans are asking after the couple seemed to unfollow each other on social media.

Speculation of a breakup between the music superstar and the football powerhouse began on Monday, a day after Diggs’ New England Patriots fell to the Seattle Seahawks in the Super Bowl. Eagle-eyed fans noticed they were no longer friends on Instagram.

Although neither Cardi nor Diggs had addressed the rumors as of Tuesday morning, comments poured in on their Instagram accounts.

“Dang why u and Stefon unfollow each other?” one fan wrote on a recent post of Cardi’s. “I hope yall didn’t break up because of the game.”

Over on Diggs’ page someone said, “I was here for Cardi, if she leaves I’m leaving too, bye.”

The couple went public with their relationship in May 2025 during an appearance at a New York Knicks basketball game. Cardi then took to social media in June with a now-deleted picture of her and Diggs sitting on a yacht.

“Chapter 5 ……Hello Chapter six,” Cardi had captioned the post, according to People.

The pair welcomed a son in November 2025. The new baby is Cardi’s fourth child; she shares three with rapper Offset, from whom she filed divorce in August 2024. Diggs has two daughters from previous relationships.

“New tour… New stage… ARENAS BABY,” he closed, adding the fire emoji. “WHAT SHOW ARE YALL COMING TO?!”

Nick Jonas releases deluxe version of ‘Sunday Best,’ books new movie role

February 10, 2026 by WDNY Radio

Nick Jonas is a busy guy.

The singer just released the deluxe version of his new album, Sunday Best, featuring two new songs and a live version of the single “Gut Punch.” Nick wrote one of the new songs, “London Foolishly,” when he was 17 and performed it on a livestream once, but had never released it. He posted on Instagram the original footage of himself playing the song.

“Staying true to the underlying theme throughout Sunday Best of connecting with your inner child, it felt right to revisit it now and give it a proper recording,” he said. “A gentle reminder that rediscovering the things a younger version of you was passionate about can be both comforting and a lot of fun.”

The other new song on the album is “While You’re Gone.”

Meanwhile, Nick’s just booked a new movie role: Variety reports that he’ll star in an action thriller called Bodyman; filming is expected to start in June. The film takes place during Christmas, when a billionaire reveals that, instead of leaving his private military company to his children, he’s going to to leave it to his bodyguard, played by Nick.

Variety quotes Nick as saying, “I’ve been developing this project for a while and I’m excited to see it come to fruition.”

Interestingly, Variety also says that Nick has “a tour planned for this summer.” So far, that hasn’t been officially announced.

The Songwriters Hall of Fame has announced that John Fogerty will be the 2026 recipient of the Johnny Mercer Award, which is the organization’s highest honor.

The Johnny Mercer Award honors an already inducted member of the Hall of Fame “whose body of work is of such high quality and impact that it upholds the gold standard set by the legendary Johnny Mercer.”

Fogerty, who was inducted into the Songwriters Hall of Fame in 2005, is known for writing such Creedence Clearwater Revival classics as “Proud Mary,” “Born on the Bayou,” “Fortunate Son,” “Bad Moon Rising” and “Have You Ever Seen the Rain,” as well as solo singles like “Centerfield” and “Old Man Down The Road.”

“The first time I heard Creedence Clearwater Revival, I was a mere high schooler. It was also the first time I heard John Fogerty’s voice, one of the most distinctive ever,” SHOF Chairman Nile Rodgers said in a statement. “To this day I’ve never heard anyone else sound like him. His unique songwriting ability is another quality. He’s one of those rare talents who is unmistakably himself.”

He adds, “His style of composition is rock and roll mastery,” noting, “He’s done what I believe all great songwriters do. He makes us feel. He deserves this award as much as anyone who’s ever received it, or will receive it, in the future.”

Previous Johnny Mercer Award recipients include Van Morrison, Elton John and Bernie Taupin, Billy Joel, Paul Simon, Neil Diamond, Lionel Richie and Carole King.
