September 20, 2023 by WDNY Radio

Liam Payne’s girlfriend, Kate Cassidy, gave an update on his health Tuesday after the singer was hospitalized for a kidney infection late last month. “So I’ve gotten a lot of comments about Liam, asking how he’s doing, and I just want to let everybody know that he’s doing so much better,” Cassidy said in a TikTok video. “He is out of the hospital and he is in good hands.” Liam was forced to cancel his South American tour due to the illness.

Pink, a Doylestown, Pennsylvania, native, is showing love to her Philly fans after playing two hometown shows this week. “Thank you Philly for riding with me til the wheels come off,” she posted on Instagram, alongside photos from backstage. “These last two nights were pure magic. I’ve never felt more alchemy in my life…Thank you for taking me in, protecting me and giving me what I needed to survive- anywhere in the world.”

Demi Lovato has been announced as one of the headliners for The Global Exchange Conference, a four-day event on addiction, mental health and wellness. She’ll join conference founder Jerry Schwab for an intimate chat on November 14. The event takes place November 12-15 at Orlando’s Walt Disney World Resort.

While fans went crazy for *NSYNC’s reunion at the MTV VMAs earlier this month, Joey Fatone says his kids were less than impressed. “The funny part is, my kids are so chill and I guess, maybe jaded? I don’t know if jaded is the correct word but they’re more like, ‘[shrugs] Oh, that’s cool,’” he tells Access Hollywood. “It’s dad’s job.”

Roger Waters says he’s not critical of David Gilmour’s Pink Floyd solos: “I’m a fan”

September 20, 2023 by WDNY Radio

Roger Waters is setting the record straight regarding his feelings about former Pink Floyd bandmate David Gilmour’s talent.

Waters shared a video of him answering a fan who asked if he’d ever shared his “opinions or criticisms” about Gilmour’s solos on The Wall while they were in the studio recording it.

“Of course I expressed my opinions,” Waters said, “because I was producing the record and so was he.” He added, “we would all stick our oar in.”

Waters then noted, “there’s an implication in this question that I’m somehow critical” of David’s playing but said that’s not true.

“I like all of Gilmour’s solos. I say so often. I say so, I believe, on the sleeve notes on the new record,” he said, referring to The Dark Side of the Moon Redux, which he’ll drop on October 6. “There’s nothing wrong with Dave’s solos. There’s nothing wrong with his solos on The Wall or his solos on Animals or his solos on Dark Side of the Moon … or any of the work I did with him.”

He adds, “I’m a fan. They’re great.”

September 20, 2023 by WDNY Radio

After Offset participated in a 24-hour stream with popular YouTuber and gamer Kai Cenat, he sent a text message of gratitude to the young star for hosting a day’s worth of fun.

“I had the most fun in a very long time, this weekend,” Cenat said, reading a tweet by Offset to his streaming audience in a video later shared by blogger DJ Akademiks.

He then pulled out his phone to read aloud the “whole paragraph” he says the rapper sent to him.

“‘Really thankful for the time and fun, bro. The whole gang — love them n****** like they’re my brothers.'”

He continued reading, “‘Thank you, bro. I haven’t had fun like this in life for a long time, bro. I needed that in my life, been so serious for so long. … Thank you.'”

In the clip, Cenat questioned if fans noticed his pattern of inviting guests to his streaming sessions but noted he started to do so in order for artists to show their personal side.

“I want this to be an opportunity for [guests] — f*** the music side, the music side is cool — to display personality and to display to the audience that, no matter what, no matter how successful … no matter how big things are, we’re all normal, bro.”

Earlier this week, Offset retweeted news that Cenat achieved a milestone streaming record as the original 24-hour Twitch stream gained 10.5 million views.

Jackson Browne is revisiting his debut album. A new version of the self-titled record will be released on CD and 180-gram vinyl on Friday, September 22, with both remastered from the original analog master tapes.

Here’s the track list for Jackson Browne:

September 20, 2023 by WDNY Radio

Scream drummer Bennett Kent Stacks aka Kent Stax has died.

In a Facebook post published Wednesday, September 20, Scream shares that Stacks “passed away this morning after a bout with metastatic cancer.”

“Kent is the original heartbeat of Scream,” the post reads. “Though we have had to continue on without him before, we have always known Kent is irreplaceable. He was one of a kind. In addition to being a truly unique drummer, Kent was also an accomplished fisherman, skilled carpenter, and avid train enthusiast.”

Stacks was part of Scream’s classic lineup alongside vocalist Pete Stahl, guitarist Franz Stahl and bassist Skeeter Thompson, which recorded the hardcore outfit’s 1983 debut album, Still Screaming. In 1986, Stacks left Scream and was replaced by a then-17-year-old Dave Grohl, who would later go on to play drums in Nirvana and form Foo Fighters.

News of Stacks’ death comes just a day after Scream announced a new album, DC Special, on Tuesday, September 19. The record, which marks the first new Scream music in over 10 years and their first full-length effort since 1993, is due out November 10.
