If we had a nickel for every time Taylor Momsen has been bitten by a creature while on tour with AC/DC, we’d have two nickels, which isn’t a lot but it’s weird that it happened twice.
You may recall that the Pretty Reckless frontwoman was performing ahead of AC/DC in Spain in 2024 when a bat landed on her leg and bit her. Fast-forward two years later, Momsen was bitten by a spider while in Mexico City to open for the “Back in Black” legends.
“So it wouldn’t be an AC/DC tour if I didn’t get bit,” Momsen writes in an Instagram post published Wednesday. “This time a massive spider decided to take a chunk out of me and its venom did a number on my system so had to have the wonderful doctors in Mexico come and deliver quite the shot before the show last night…add it to the list!”
The post includes a video of Momsen getting treated, which includes a shot of her swollen ankle.
After Momsen was bit by a bat, the AC/DC crew dubbed her “Batgirl.” Now that she’s been bitten by a spider, Momsen has the rare distinction of being able to portray characters in both the DC and Marvel universes.
The Pretty Reckless will play two more shows with AC/DC in Mexico City on April 11 and April 15, and will reunite with them for a summer tour in July. In between, Momsen and company will launch their own headlining tour in support of their upcoming album, Dear God, due out June 26.

“Under Pressure,” Queen’s iconic collaboration with David Bowie, is one of the songs that was used to wake up the astronauts on Artemis II.
NASA revealed the Artemis II wake-up playlist, featuring songs selected by the members of the Artemis crew. The Queen/Bowie track woke up the astronauts on Wednesday, day eight of the 10-day mission.
Queen’s Brian May, who has a degree in astrophysics, reacted to the news on Instagram, writing that he was “Honoured” by the news.
“Happy to be waking up the heroes in their space ship rounding up their amazing trip around the Moon!!” he wrote in the post’s caption. “Happy Landings guys !! You rock !!! Bri.”
“Under Pressure” was released as a single in October 1981 and later appeared on Queen’s 1982 album, Hot Space. It went to #1 in the U.K. and was a top-40 hit on the Billboard Hot 100 in the U.S. It was later sampled by Vanilla Ice for his hit track “Ice Ice Baby.”

Maddie & Tae only have one concert to go as they close this chapter of their lives as a duo.
The “Girl in a Country Song” hitmakers chose a fitting lyric for one of their final recordings: a cover of Phil Collins’ “You’ll Be in My Heart” from the 1999 Disney movie Tarzan.
“We’re in a really bittersweet season of life right now,” Maddie Font says, “being mamas and transitioning to different paths careerwise. And so this song just means so much to us and really, like, captures our friendship and where we’re at, just how much gratitude and love we hold for each other and our babies and this beautiful thing called life.”
As Maddie & Tae wind down their work together, Maddie will launch her solo career and focus on her son, Forrest Henry Font, who’ll be 3 in September.
Taylor Kerr plans to be a full-time mom to 4-year-old Leighton Grace Kerr and 1-year-old Chapel Shields Kerr.
You’ll find their version of “You’ll Be in My Heart” on Disney’s new Main Street Country EP.
“We love this movie, our babies love this movie, and just musically, I think it is one of the best soundtracks of all time, like of all movies,” Maddie says of Tarzan.
“So Phil Collins crushed it with that song for sure — and crushed my heart. I cry every time I hear it,” she adds.
Kane Brown and Katelyn Brown, Dasha, Breland and Restless Road are also on the Main Street Country record.
According to their website, Maddie & Tae’s final appearance will be headlining the Red Poppy Festival April 25 in Georgetown, Texas.
Disney is the parent company of ABC News andWalt Disney Records.

Tears For Fears co-founder Roland Orzabal is ready to tell his life story.
The rocker is releasing Welcome to Your Life: Love, Death, and Tears for Fears on Aug. 4, described as a “deeply personal memoir” that “explores the formative experiences and complex worldview of a creator, his creations, and his personal life.”
The book is described as an “astrological memoir,” with Orzabal, a lifelong astrology fan, using it as a tool to support the storytelling, revealing how his life has been affected by his astrological chart.
Welcome to Your Life will delve into the creation of the band with musical partner Curt Smith, and their massive success thanks to their 1985 album, Songs From The Big Chair, and hit songs like “Shout,” “Everybody Wants to Rule the World” and “Head over Heels.” It will also cover the creative and personal breakdown of their relationship, leading Tears For Fears to break up in 1991, before reuniting in 2000.
The book will also offer readers a look into Orzabal’s personal life, including his mental health struggles and the loss of his wife in 2017.
“As he reflects on love, faith, and recovery, Orzabal shows how the power of music can heal even the deepest wounds,” the description notes.

The Alarm has released a video for the song “Live Today,” the final clip to feature their late frontman Mike Peters, who passed away April 29, 2025, after a 31-year battle with cancer.
The track is featured on the band’s upcoming album, Transformation, which will be released May 29.
The video was filmed on a beach in the North of England just days before Peters underwent CAR-T treatment that he had hoped would beat his aggressive form of lymphoma, known as Richter’s syndrome.
“Mike lived a life of beauty and never gave up right to the very end,” says Jules Peters, the rocker’s wife and bandmate. “As the sun rose, watching Mike perform this song with so much optimism and hope will live with me forever.”
“This video is such a difficult watch,” she adds. “It broke my heart … but it captures the eternal essence of Mike Peters that keeps us coming back to him and his incredible songs time after time.”

Third Eye Blind has released a cover of the David Bowie classic “Heroes” alongside “Ex’s & Oh’s” singer Elle King.
“All together at East West Studios playing this song brought us deeper to grips with the brilliance of Bowie,” the “Semi-Charmed Life” outfit writes in a Facebook post. “Feels like we need this song more than ever.”
You can listen to the cover now exclusively via Amazon Music. It arrives ahead of Third Eye Blind’s upcoming performance at the 2026 Stagecoach festival, taking place April 24-26 and streaming live on Amazon Music.
Meanwhile, another Stagecoach performer, Michael Marcagi, has released a cover of The Head and the Heart’s “Rivers and Roads,” also exclusively for Amazon Music. The recording features singer-songwriter Chance Peña and The Head and the Heart themselves.
Tim Montana has premiered a new single called “Break Me Down.”
“Break Me Down comes from a place of anxiety, control, and feeling too far gone,” Montana says in a statement. “It’s about realizing the right person can drag you out of hell—whether you’re ready or not. This one’s for the people who can see light in the darkness, and for the broken souls who never show it on the outside.”
You can watch the “Break Me Down” video now on YouTube.
“Break Me Down” follows Montana’s 2024 album, Savage, which includes the single “Devil You Know.”
Montana will launch a tour with Alter Bridge beginning April 25 in Orlando, Florida.

Every morning during their mission, the Artemis II crew has been woken up in their Orion spacecraft by a song of the Mission Control in Houston’s choice. Now, you can get all those songs on one playlist.
“Each track was selected by the Moon crew continuing a tradition that started more than 50 years ago,” the NASA Instagram account explains.
The playlist is updated and includes Wednesday’s wake-up song: “Under Pressure” by Queen & David Bowie. The first song astronauts Reid Wiseman, Victor Glover, Christina Koch and Jeremy Hansen heard was Young & Sick’s cover of “Sleepyhead” by Passion Pit.
That was followed by:
John Legend: “Green Light (ft. Andre 3000)”
Freddy Jones Band: “In a Daydream”
Chappell Roan: “Pink Pony Club”
CeeLo Green: “Working Class Heroes (Work)”
Mandisa & TobyMac: “Good Morning”
Glass Animals & Denzel Curry: “Tokyo Drifting”
In the comments of the NASA post about the playlist, Glass Animals, best known for their #1 hit “Heat Waves,” wrote, “this is the coolest thing that’s ever happened to me in my life ever.”
Young & Sick — the stage name of Dutch artist Nick van Hofwegen — wrote, “Thank you sooooo much for having me aboard!! My life will never be the same.”
