Lady Gaga and Doechii are ready to hit the “Runway.”
The two artists have released their collaboration for The Devil Wears Prada 2 soundtrack, after the song was initially teased in the film’s final trailer.
The fierce track was made for strutting, with Doechii declaring, “Monday through Sunday, I can turn a dance floor into a runway.”
The song was written by Gaga, Bruno Mars, Andrew Watt and others, and produced by Mars, Watt, Cirkut and D’Mile.
This marks the first collab between Gaga and Doechii, who have both expressed mutual admiration for each other. Gaga recently told British Vogue, “You don’t often see someone come out of the gate with a pen that feels immediately legendary. That’s Doechii to me.”
20th Century Studios’ The Devil Wears Prada 2, starring Anne Hathaway and Meryl Streep, hits theaters May 1.

Foo Fighters have released a new song called “Of All People,” a track off the band’s upcoming album, Your Favorite Toy.
“Of all people, you survived/ When no one else could stay alive,” frontman Dave Grohl growls in the lyrics. “You know you should be dead/ But you’re alive instead.”
The Foos previously debuted “Of All People” live during a taping of the Irish performance series Other Voices. You can watch footage of that rendition streaming now on YouTube.
Your Favorite Toy, the follow-up to 2023’s But Here We Are, is due out April 24. It also includes the previously released songs “Asking for a Friend,” “Caught in the Echo” and the title track.
Foo Fighters will play a one-off show in Bridgeport, Connecticut, on April 28, followed by headlining sets at the Welcome to Rockville and BottleRock Napa festivals in May. They’ll launch a full North American stadium tour in August.
When newcomer Vincent Mason opens for Morgan Wallen Friday on the first night of the Still the Problem Tour, it’ll be one of his first chances to get to know one of his heroes.
“I’ve never met him,” Vincent tells ABC Audio. “[I’m] just a very, very big fan of the music. I have been for a long time and I’m excited to get out there. I’m excited to just watch seven shows, you know, [and] at the very least get to go hang out.”
“That’s the peak of how to headline,” he adds. “So I’m gonna try to learn what I can [and] see what works for us.”
After two nights in Minneapolis, he’ll have five more stadium dates with Morgan, mixed in with some of his own shows.
From there, he’ll reunite with another major musical influence.
“[I’m] going back out with Parker McCollum,” Vincent says, “who’s one of my favorite artists [and a] big reason that I got into writing songs and trying to do everything that I’m doing now.”
“And headlining again will be awesome,” he continues. “So we get to play this new album we just put out. [It’s] pretty much a brand new set for us. I know the band’s excited to have some new songs to play and so am I. So we’re gonna have a lot of fun on stage, so in turn, I hope everyone else has fun too.”
Vincent currently has a top 20 hit with his debut single, “Wish You Well,” from his There I Go album.

Kansas’ signature tune “Carry on Wayward Son” was featured prominently in the Saturday Night Live sketch “Husbands” on April 4, and the band’s guitarist and original member Rich Williams was happy to see it play a role in something so funny.
In the segment, a group of husbands are forced to hang out together as their wives chat in the kitchen. They have nothing to talk about, until host Jack Black begins singing “Carry on Wayward Son,” and the men all chime in and sing along.
“There’s always a good and bad side to things. Everybody I know is sending me the clip,” Williams tells New York Magazine’s Vulture column. “So it’s a nice problem to have, I’ll say that.”
Williams says over the past 50 years Kansas has had a reputation as a “really serious band,” but he notes, “We laugh all the time. We have a lot of stupid inside jokes and our own language.” He adds, “But to be a part of something like this is just wonderful.”
“It’s another feather in our cap that adds to our legacy,” he says. “We’re still out there and working, but to be acknowledged by an institution like Saturday Night Live? Wow.”
Williams describes Jack Black as “one of a kind,” noting “to see him involved in that sketch gave it a lot of credibility, because he’s a musician himself.”
But when it comes to the tune, Williams was unable to answer a question that’s probably been on a lot of fans’ minds — why isn’t the song named “Carry on My Wayward Son” since that’s what they sing in the song?
“Wow. That’s a good question, and I can’t answer that,” he says. “Maybe those two letters filled up too much room on the disc.”

In honor of America’s 250th birthday, Forbes magazine is celebrating the 250 greatest living self-made Americans, and a lot of them are hugely successful singers.
The list was created from various sources, including Forbes’ Self-Made Score, a one-to-10 ranking that measures the obstacles overcome, impact and financial success.
Mariah Carey is #123 on the list because she “grew up in poverty,” and Katy Perry is in at #226, having come from “a religious family [who] relied on food banks to survive.”
Selena Gomez, #220, was “raised by a teenage mother who scrounged for quarters to pay for gas,” and has been diagnosed with bipolar disorder.
“Fast Car” singer Tracy Chapman is #151, having been “raised by a working-class single mother.”
Cher is #130 because she was “raised by a struggling, itinerant single mother” and dropped out of high school.
Jennifer Hudson is #106; she too was raised by a single mother. Jewel is #103 because, as most fans know, she grew up in a one-room cabin in Alaska and once lived in her van.
Others on the list include Pharrell Williams at #86, Eminem at #79, Stevie Wonder at #69, Barbra Streisand at #65, Bruce Springsteen at #60 and Oprah Winfrey at #1.

Afrika Bambaataa, a hip-hop pioneer and the Father of the Electro Funk Sound, has died. He was 68 years old. A representative for Naf Management confirmed the news in a statement.
“On behalf of the entire Hip Hop community, I am heartbroken to share that we have lost my brother, my legend — Afrika Bambaataa,” the statement begins. “He was more than a man. He was a movement. A father to a culture. A light that guided millions across the world through Peace, Unity, Love, and Having Fun.”
“Hip Hop will never be the same without him – but everything Hip Hop is today, it is because of him. His spirit lives in every beat, every cypher, every corner of this globe he touched,” it continues. “We did not just lose a legend. We lost our foundation. We lost our brother.”
Born Lance Taylor on April 17, 1957, in New York City, Bambaataa began his early life as a member of the Black Spades street gang. As a music enthusiast, he started deejaying at house parties in the early 1970s, inspired by DJs like Kool DJ Dee and Kool DJ Herc. He later organized block parties and participated in breakdancing competitions throughout the Bronx.
As the Black Spades declined, Bambaataa established the Bronx River Organization performing group — later called The Organization — at Stevenson High School. Inspired by his studies of African history, he later transformed his organization into the Universal Zulu Nation, a collective that brought together DJs, MCs, breakdancers, graffiti artists and other creatives, and promoted positive, conscious and artistic expression.
Bambaataa was also a pioneer of the electro-funk sound. His groundbreaking single “Planet Rock” with his group Soulsonic Force became a global hit and was certified Gold, eventually playing a major role in shaping genres such as Miami bass, electronica, house, hip house and early techno. He gained further recognition with tracks like “Looking for the Perfect Beat,” “Renegades of Funk” and his collaboration with James Brown, “Unity.”
Bam played a key role in developing the careers of artists such as New Edition, Maurice Starr and the Jonzun Crew. His eclectic deejay sets, which blended genres including go-go, soca, salsa, reggae, rock, jazz, funk and African music, earned him nicknames like “Master of Records” and the “Grandfather” or “Godfather of Hip Hop Culture.”
Bambaataa was deeply involved in humanitarian efforts, as well. He promoted Afrocentric, spiritual and health-conscious education, as well as hip-hop history. He participated in anti-apartheid initiatives, including “Hip Hop Artists Against Apartheid” for Warlock Records in 1990, and helped organize a concert at Wembley Stadium in London in honor of Nelson Mandela’s release from prison. He also raised funds for the African National Congress in Italy.
In addition to his music and activism, Bambaataa worked as a radio host on Hot 97 FM in New York City; served as a visiting scholar at Cornell University; contributed to the early development of the Hip Hop Museum; and appeared as a voice actor on the television series Kung Faux.
Bambaataa faced several sexual assault allegations in 2016 dating back to the ’70 and ’80s, all of which he denied; the allegations were met with backlash and led to him stepping down from a leadership role for Universal Zulu Nation. Rolling Stone reports he lost a child sexual abuse civil case in May 2025 after failing to make a court appearance.

Billy Idol guitarist Billy Morrison has debuted the video for “Becoming,” his collaborative single with Godsmack frontman Sully Erna and Extreme shredder Nuno Bettencourt.
The clip, which premiered via RevolverMag.com, finds Morrison, Erna and Bettencourt performing together under a downpour of rain.
“What you can’t see in the video is the humidity!” Morrison tells Revolver. “It was over 90 degrees outside and we were locked in a steel room with constant running water for 5 hours.”
“It was like playing in an Ecuadorian Rain forest,” he adds. “It played havoc with the hair!”
“Becoming” will appear on Morrison’s upcoming album, Hollow, due out in August. The record will also include guest spots from Marilyn Manson, The Offspring’s Dexter Holland, Guns N’ Roses bassist Duff McKagan, Billy Idol’s Steve Stevens and rappers Chuck D, B-Real and DMC.
Hollow follows Morrison’s 2024 album, The Morrison Project, which includes the Ozzy Osbourne collaboration “Crack Cocaine.”
