The first official trailer for the upcoming Paul McCartney documentary Man on the Run has just been released.
The film, directed by Morgan Neville, looks at McCartney’s life following the breakup of The Beatles, including the formation of his band Wings.
“The Beatles had been my whole life really,” McCartney says at the beginning of the trailer. “When we split up, I thought, ‘I’ll never write another note of music ever.’”
The trailer for the film features archival pictures and footage of The Beatles, McCartney and wife Linda McCartney, Wings and more. It also has McCartney talking about the depression he felt after The Beatles’ breakup, the pressures he felt starting Wings and his relationship with John Lennon.
“When we started Wings, it was about freedom,” McCartney says at the end of the clip, “and we felt we finally arrived — second time around.”
Man on the Run, which includes new interviews from Wings’ Denny Laine, Sean Lennon and ThePretenders‘ Chrissie Hynde, is set to premiere globally on Prime Video on Feb. 27.

She’s the biggest pop star in the world now, but Taylor Swift hasn’t forgotten her Nashville roots.
After making donations to several charities, including the American Heart Association, MusiCares and Feeding America, it was revealed Tuesday that she also donated to The Store, a nonprofit founded by Brad Paisley and his actress wife, Kimberly Williams-Paisley.
The Store is a food pantry, except it operates like a supermarket, allowing people to select the food they want. As the charity’s website explains, “This choice-based model reduces waste, ensures satisfaction, and upholds the dignity of those we serve.”
Kimberly thanked Taylor for the donation on her Instagram Story, writing, “We appreciate your support of @thestore_nashville!”
In addition, the charity posted a message on its Facebook page that read, “We’re incredibly grateful to Taylor Swift for including The Store in her year-end giving.”
“Her generous gift helps us continue providing groceries with dignity and choice to families across Middle Tennessee especially as we prepare to open our second location,” the message continued. “Thank you, Taylor, for using your voice and generosity to uplift neighbors in need.”
Taylor and Brad’s friendship goes back to 2007, when she appeared in his “Online” music video.

Sabrina Carpenter is heading to the Super Bowl — via a commercial.
People has released a teaser for Sabrina’s first-ever Super Bowl ad, which she filmed for Pringles. In the spot, she sits on the floor with a flower made of Pringles chips, plucking off each “petal” while reciting, “He loves me, he loves me not.” After the final chip, she says, “He loves me!” and then eats it.
According to People, Pringles will roll out more teasers as part of their current “Once You Pop, The Pop Don’t Stop” campaign.
Peoplealso shared a first look at a non-Super Bowl ad starring another famous blond female pop star, Jessica Simpson. In the Chicken of the Sea commercial, she records a new version of the brand’s iconic jingle, which goes, “Ask any mermaid you happen to see/ What’s the best tuna? Chicken of the Sea.”
While recording, Jessica messes up the lyrics, instead singing, “Ask any mermaid you happen to see/ what’s the best chicken?”
“Wait, that’s not right. I’m too hungry for this. Can we take a break?” she then says. After eating one of the brand’s tuna packets, she’s able to sing the correct lyrics.
The Chicken of the Sea ad nods to Jessica’s famous Newlyweds moment, when she asked then-husband Nick Lachey, “Is this chicken what I have, or is this fish? I know it’s tuna but it says chicken. By the sea. Is that stupid?”
Reflecting on the moment, Jessica told People, “I’m all about nostalgia. That moment was a very real conversation that … it just became bigger than me.”

(A Salute To 60’s Rock),” “I Need a Lover,” “Wild Night” and “Ain’t Even Done With the Night.”
Mellencamp announced the news in a video in which he meets actor Sean Penn at a roadside diner.As Mellencamp’s hits play on the jukebox, Penn suggests he go out and play the songs on tour, something the rocker admits he “quit doing 17 years ago.”
“They’ve been asking me to do this for years. ‘Come play outside again.’ And I’m saying, ‘No, no, no.’ But this time, I’m 74 years old. I thought I might be getting to the age where I might want to try to share these songs with people again,” Mellencamp tells People in a new interview. “In the video that Sean and I made, Sean says, ‘There’s no reason to keep these songs to yourself. What’s the problem with trying to make people happy?'”
The 19-date trek kicks off July 10 in Grand Rapids, Michigan, and wraps Aug. 12 in Mountain View, California, with a majority of the dates set in outdoor amphitheaters.
A Citi presale for tickets kicks off Jan. 20 at 10 a.m. local time, with tickets going on sale to the general public Jan. 23 at 10 a.m. local time. A complete list of dates can be found at JohnMellencamp.com.
Rush released their seventh studio album, Permanent Waves, which peaked at #4 on the Billboard album chart. It was the Canadian band’s first album to land in the top five, making it their most successful album at that time. It was later surpassed by their following album, Moving Pictures, which was released in 1981.
Permanent Waves featured several songs considered to be more radio friendly than Rush’s previous music, with tracks like “The Spirit of the Radio” and “Freewill” going on to become Rush classics.
Its closing song was a nine-minute track titled “Natural Science,” which was composed in three movements.
Permanent Waves went on to be certified Platinum by the RIAA. A 40th anniversary edition of the album, which featured bonus material, was released in 2020.
Red Hot Chili Peppers bassist Flea has announced the details of his debut solo album.
The trumpet-driven record is called Honora and is due out March 27. It includes the previously released track “A Plea.” A second cut, called “Traffic Lights,” is out now.
“Traffic Lights” was co-written by and features Radiohead‘s Thom Yorke, with whom Flea played in the band Atoms for Peace.
“Something about it reminded me of Atoms for Peace, so I sent it to Thom,” Flea says of the track. “Just knowing him, I thought it would be a rhythm and a sensibility that he would relate to. And I was right, he did.”
Honora also features guest vocals from Nick Cave.
Along with the album news, Flea has announced a run of intimate U.S. tour dates, spanning from May 7 in Chicago to May 16 in Los Angeles. Tickets go on sale Jan. 23 at 10 a.m. local time.

It looks like Wicked co-stars Ariana Grande and Jonathan Bailey will be “Finishing the Hat” together in London. The two have seemingly confirmed that they’ll be co-starring in a revival of the Stephen Sondheim musical Sunday in the Park with George.
Both of them shared an Instagram post that shows them in the Art Institute of Chicago, sitting in front of the Georges Seurat painting that inspired the musical: A Sunday Afternoon on the Island of La Grande Jatte. It’s captioned, “All it has to be is good,” which is a lyric from the title song of the musical. No other details were announced.
The main characters in the musical, George and Dot, were originally played by Mandy Patinkin and BernadettePeters in the 1984 Broadway production of the show.
In December, Deadline reported that the musical would be staged at London’s Barbican Theatre in 2027.
Newcomer Vincent Mason has his very first top-25 country hit with “Wish You Well,” which is, ironically, the only song in his catalog he didn’t write.
He admits his first publisher and producer used a bit of a “Jedi mind trick” to get him over that hurdle.
“It got slid to me in a very casual way,” Vincent recalls. “I had a write coming up with a lot of those guys that were on that song and he was like, ‘This is my favorite song that they’ve written.’ And I just listened to it as a fan for like three or four months.”
Over time, Vincent came to love “Wish You Well” so much he started to wonder why someone hadn’t cut it.
“I was like, ‘Is anyone singing this song?'” he tells ABC Audio. “And he was like, ‘I was hoping you were gonna ask. I just didn’t know how to bring it up because I knew you would say no if I tried to get you to do it.'”
Ultimately, Vincent says there’s no denying it was the right call.
“Once we actually cut the record and it was done, I think no one could really argue that it had that thing that you look for on a radio single,” he says. “So [it was] kinda cool for me picking it in that way, not writing it and kinda still making it our own. So [it’s] a little different than the rest of our songs, but it’s still cool, it’s special. And it’s become a really good moment in our set, too. I think it gets people moving.”
“Wish You Well” is on Vincent’s debut album, There I Go.
