A new tribute album to late Pogues frontman Shane MacGowan has been announced.
The record is called 20th Century Paddy – The Songs of Shane MacGowan, and it’s due out Nov. 13. It includes contributions from Bruce Springsteen, Hozier, Dropkick Murphys, The Jesus and Mary Chain, The Libertines, Tom Waits, Primal Scream, model Kate Moss, actors Jessie Buckley and Johnny Depp and The Pogues themselves.
“Shane was all naked bottomless humanity,” Springsteen says in a statement. “Threatening to force us to ask ourselves if we were living deeply, authentically. He was raw, hilarious, no apologies and profound. His soul was filled with the transgressive and ecstatic properties of the saints.”
MacGowan died in 2023 at age 65.
The Pogues reunited in 2024 and launched a U.S. tour in 2025 featuring original members Spider Stacy, Jem Finer and James Fearnley alongside guest vocalists and musicians.

Springsteen’s cover of “A Rainy Night in Soho” is available now via digital outlets.
A portion of the artist royalties from the album will benefit Dublin Simon Community and their mission to provide lifesaving housing and healthcare for those experiencing homelessness.
20th Century Paddy – The Songs of Shane MacGowan will be released as a two-CD or three-LP set, as well as a three-LP, two-CD Deluxe Bookpack that comes with a book filled with memorabilia and liner notes. All formats are available for preorder now.
MacGowan passed away Nov. 30, 2023 at the age of 65.
Carly Pearce and Riley Green bring a simmering intensity to their vocals in the first preview of their duet, “If I Don’t Leave I’m Gonna Stay,” which officially drops Friday.
“We’re getting close to losing clothes, I should go/ Look at the time, it’s getting late/ If I don’t leave, I’m gonna stay,” Carly sings as Riley adds harmony to the Dobro-heavy track.
From the beginning, Carly had no question about who the other voice on the song should be.
“I’ve always said this about the duets that I’ve been part of, but I just hear the voice in my head immediately,” she says. “And Riley was the voice that I heard, and I sent him a text and I said, ‘Hey, I don’t know if you will like this song and I’m sure you get asked to do a lot of things, but I really feel like this song is special.'”
Riley wasted little time getting back to her.
“Truly, within five minutes, he texted me back and told me that he was in,” Carly says. “And about an hour later, I got a voice memo of him singing the chorus and I knew immediately that it was gonna be special.”
Carly and Riley both have stellar records when it comes to collabs. “I Hope You’re Happy Now” with Lee Brice and “Never Wanted to Be That Girl” with Ashley McBryde both went to #1 for Carly, while Riley can count “Half of Me” with Thomas Rhett, “Different Round Here” with Luke Combs, and “you look like you love me” and “Don’t Mind If I Do” with Ella Langley as his collaborative chart-toppers.

Foreigner is set to release a live version of their iconic track “Urgent,” featuring new lead singer Luis Maldonado.
The band announced that they’ll be releasing “Urgent (Live in Halifax 2025)” to streaming platforms on March 20. The song was previously only available on YouTube.
“Urgent is one of the most powerful songs we perform in our set. It always gets people up and engaged with the band. We take no prisoners when we play,” says Maldonado. “So with Urgent’s strong and steady beat, and [its] ‘catchy as hell’ melodies, it stands as a highlight of the evening.”
The performance was recorded during Maldonado’s first tour as the band’s frontman. He took over duties in October, replacing Kelly Hansen, who retired after 20 years with the band.
Foreigner is in the midst of their orchestral residency at The Venetian Theatre in Las Vegas, with the next show on Friday. They are also scheduled to perform the national anthem Sunday at the Pennzoil 400 NASCAR race at the Las Vegas Motor Speedway.
This summer they’ll hit the road with Lynyrd Skynyrd on the Double Trouble Double Vision Tour, which starts July 23 in Atlanta.
Alex Warren’s night at the Grammys should have been a career high for him, but instead his performance of “Ordinary” was marred by technical difficulties. He was so down that he was convinced he was finished in the music industry.
On the latest episode of the Call Her Daddypodcast, Alex tells host Alex Cooper that he was distraught after the performance.
“I did not want to look up. I did not want to talk to anybody. … It was really bad,” he says. “I literally over and over and over again said, ‘My career is over.'”
After posting a video explaining to fans what had happened, Alex deleted Twitter and all social media apps from his phone because he didn’t want to see what people were saying about him. When he finally checked in, he saw the video had “50 or 60 million views,” and everyone was supportive.
But what made him feel better, he says, was the support of his fellow artists, especially Chappell Roan. “She came up to me and she was, she was like, ‘Dude, like, if anyone understands, it’s the people in this room and you sounded amazing.’ … [She] was the sweetest ever and I was like, ‘I love you.'”
Alex also says Noah Kahan and Billie Eilish were very kind and sweet to him, but what finally pulled him out of his depression was a call from Grammy-winning singer Laufey.
“She gave me the coolest pep talk in the world,” Alex says. “Laufey called me and was just like, ‘I’m so proud of you. You don’t realize how many people you just helped. Imagine every kid who … does a talent show … and this happens to them and they think, “Wow, this can happen at the Grammys.”‘”
“I think it gives someone some motivation, and know that it’s OK and that stuff happens.”
As Lamb of God readies their milestone 10th studio album with Into Oblivion — 12th if you count the two they released as Burn the Priest — frontman Randy Blythe considers each record a snapshot of the time in which it was made.
“It’s a picture of a moment in time, of where we were as a band, as human beings, as musicians,” Blythe tells ABC Audio.
That picture often includes Blythe’s commentary on the sociopolitical status of the time — 2004’s Ashes of the Wake, for example, reflects the U.S. under the George W. Bush administration, and Into Oblivion similarly comments on the second term of President Donald Trump. But while Blythe’s used big, landmark events such as the Iraq War to center his writing in the past, he refers to Trump as an “agent of chaos,” making him harder to write about.
“He governs by tweet,” Blythe laughs. “I don’t think he knows what he’s gonna do when he wakes up in the morning.”
He continues, “How are you supposed to have a cohesive picture when you sit down and you’re like, OK, if I write about this, by the time you get your finger firmly on any one issue, it has shifted.”
One thing that did help Blythe organize his thoughts was The Cure’s 2024 comeback album, Songs of a Lost World.
“On the night of the presidential election, I rode home the listening to the new Cure record on these back country roads,” Blythe says. “[It was a] very gothic atmosphere, and a sort of gothic overhanging atmosphere over the national psyche.”
After that, Blythe started to write the lyrics to the Into Oblivion song “Sepsis.”
“There’s an existential angst to the record, I think,” Blythe says. “At least my contribution to it.”
