‘What He’ll Never Have’: Why Dylan Scott’s son shouldn’t expect a check from dad just yet

April 16, 2026 by WDNY Radio

Dylan Scott’s son Beckett Scott Robinson has been interested and involved in what his dad does for a living ever since he was singing “Old Town Road” as a toddler back in 2019.

The 8-year-old finally got to make his studio debut late last year on his dad’s “Two Christmas Trees” recording.

“He crushed it, man. I was a proud dad, for sure,” the “My Girl” hitmaker says.

While Dylan’s always been supportive, he’s starting to think he may need to slow down Beckett’s musical ambitions a bit.

“He’s getting the big head his own self. I gotta back him down a little bit,” the father of three tells ABC Audio. “I got him out onstage with me this summer, and now anytime he’s on the road with me, he wants to be onstage.”

“Now he’s singing, he’s doing the gritty, he’s taking his hat off and throwing it to the fans, which is costing me money because I gotta buy him more hats. I’m like, ‘Hey son, settle down a little bit.'”

Dylan’s oldest was also hoping for a check.

“He even had the nerve to ask me, he said, ‘Well Dad, so you get paid to do this, so when I come out there, do I get paid as well?’ I said, ‘Absolutely not. [You’re] not piggybacking off of my hard work,'” he reveals.

It seems Beckett needn’t worry about cash flow at the Robinson household, however, as his dad’s latest hit, “What He’ll Never Have,” is currently #3 and rising on the Mediabase chart.

Rock & Roll Hall of Fame President Greg Harris talks Phil Collins & Billy Idol’s induction

April 16, 2026 by WDNY Radio

Phil Collins and Billy Idol are among the 2026 Rock & Roll Hall of Fame inductees, and Rock Hall president Greg Harris has no doubt that they are deserving of the honor.

Harris tells ABC Audio that Collins’ induction is “a fitting tribute to him as an individual artist.”

“If you think of the number of years he was in Genesis and the number of years that he’s been Phil Collins, it’s recognizing that important part of his career in that moment,” he says.

Of course, Collins was previously inducted into Rock Hall in 2010 as a member of Genesis, and getting in a second time is “quite a distinction,” according to Harris.

“There aren’t a lot of people that are inducted more than once,” Harris says, noting Collins is being recognized this time because “his solo career really was one of the defining careers of the eighties. His music was everywhere.”

As for Idol, Harris says the “Rebel Yell” rocker is worthy of the Rock Hall because of his “full-on rock and roll attitude, lifestyle, image.”

“He’s for real and absolutely he’s impacted and influenced numerous artists that have come after him,” he says. “So we’re thrilled that he’s joining the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame.”

The 2026 Rock & Roll Hall of Fame induction ceremony will take place Nov. 14 at the Peacock Theater in Los Angeles and will be taped for broadcast in December on ABC and Disney+.

Why the voices of HUNTR/X can’t just go on tour right now

April 16, 2026 by WDNY Radio

Now that “Golden” has won an Oscar and a Grammy, what’s next for the three women who sang that song as the voices of KPop Demon Hunters‘ HUNTR/X? It seems the one thing that people really want is something they may not be able to provide.

EJAE, Audrey Nuna and REI AMI — the Women of the Year for Billboard‘s 2026 Women In Music issue and event — speak to Billboard about what they want to do next as a unit. “We could tour together,” says EJAE.

“I mean, people have been asking for a tour,” says REI. “We, unfortunately, do not hold that power.” She’s referring to the fact that Netflix owns the rights to KPop Demon Hunters.

“We don’t, but that’d be cool,” EJAE adds. “It would be cool,” agrees REI. Then, addressing the fans, she adds, “You got to demand it more, though!”

“I just can’t even imagine the memories we would make on tour,” adds Audrey Nuna. “Honestly, I feel like a theater kid again when I’m around you guys. There’s just this excitement of, like, our teams squadding it up together.”

EJAE suggests if they do get the nod, they could recreate the scene in the film where the trio sing “How It’s Done” on the HUNTR/X jet. “That’d be sick,” she says.

While we wait for that, EJAE says, “We would love to write together;” REI suggests, “We should start a [record] label.”

As for the KPop Demon Hunters sequel set for 2029, that’s another waiting game. EJAE says they “don’t really know” if they’re involved, and Audrey reveals, “We’re also waiting for the call.”

“We are,” agrees EJAE. “Stay tuned, guys.”

Rock & Roll Hall of Fame president explains fan vote, induction #2 for Phil Collins

April 16, 2026 by WDNY Radio

Despite winning the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame fan vote this year, New Edition failed to make the cut for induction when the honorees were announced. Other acts who did well in the fan vote, including Pink, Shakira and INXS, also didn’t get in, and Rock & Roll Hall of Fame President Greg Harris tells ABC Audio why that is.

Despite 9 million fan votes being cast this year, Harris explains, “In the end, the fan vote really counts for just a singular ballot in the bigger process.” Simply put, the fan vote results are treated as one ballot, among the 1,200 other ballots that go out to voting members.

“The reason for that is because it would mean that the artists with the biggest social media following, they would always be dominating in a fan vote,” Harris says.

However, he notes, “Those that have received a strong showing [in the fan vote], many of them ultimately have been inducted.” Dave Matthews Band, for example, won in 2020 but didn’t get in until 2024.

On the other hand, Phil Collins, already in the Hall as a member of Genesis, was #2 in the fan vote. He got in on his first time on the ballot, though Harris says he’s someone whose “name has come up” over the years.

“His solo career really was one of the defining careers of the eighties. His music was everywhere,” Harris says of Collins. “But then I think what really added to that was he’s also such an in-demand collaborator and session musician.”

Indeed, Collins has worked with dozens of other artists, including Eric Clapton, Robert Plant and Paul McCartney, and his songs are among rappers’ favorites to sample.

The Rock & Roll Hall of Fame Induction Ceremony will debut on ABC and Disney+ in December.

Rick Ross says Drake has ‘a lot of issues’ to address before reconciliation

April 16, 2026 by WDNY Radio

Rick Ross and Drake have been on the outs for some time, but Rick says reconciliation is only possible if Drake does the work.

“Homie got a lot of issues he got to address. I’ma leave it right there,” he told the Thoughts in a Culli YouTube show. “Is it any potential of him being a real n****? He gotta decide that. … But he got s*** he gotta deal with and address. And, you know, hopefully, it was a lot of n***** that was watching and learned from it. It was unfortunate for him.”

The two had collaborated on a few songs ahead of their feud, which stemmed from Drake throwing shade at Rozay in his song “Push Ups.” Though they are no longer speaking, Rick said he continues to perform those records because they remain a part of his discography.

“You never change your past,” he said. “The music I’ve created in the past, I could never change. I enjoyed it and I’ma still enjoy it. Can’t no lame n**** or nobody having differences make me not enjoy something that I was a part of.”

“The sad part about it is, when I play those records, everybody just be standing and they don’t sing his part no more,” he added. “I be like, ‘No, y’all can sing it. Sing the little man part.'”

On “Push Ups,” Drake threw a few shots Rick’s way. “Every song that made it on the chart, he got from Drizzy,” he rapped. Rick responded with his diss track “Champagne Moments.”

Australian police launch investigation after Ruby Rose accuses Katy Perry of sexual assault, which Perry denies

April 15, 2026 by WDNY Radio

Australian police say they have launched an investigation following comments from actress and model Ruby Rose accusing pop star Katy Perry of allegedly sexually assaulting her in a Melbourne nightclub 16 years ago, accusations Perry strenuously denies.

In a statement shared with ABC News, Victoria Police said Melbourne Sexual Offences and Child Abuse Investigation Team detectives are “investigating a historic sexual assault that occurred in Melbourne in 2010.”

“Police have been told the incident occurred at a licensed premises in Melbourne’s [Central Business District],” the statement continued. “As the investigation remains ongoing, it would be inappropriate to comment further at this stage.”

ABC News has reached out to a representative for Perry for comment.

Rose first made the assault allegation on Sunday, in response to a Complex article about Perry’s opinion of Justin Bieber’s Coachella performance.

“Katy Perry sexual assaulted me at spice market nightclub in Melbourne,” Rose wrote in response to the post. “Who gives a s*** what she thinks.”

In a subsequent Threads post, the actress stated that she was in her 20s at the time of the alleged assault.

On Monday, Rose wrote on Threads that she would be “walking into a police station” to see if the alleged assault could be investigated, despite possibly being past the statute of limitations.

“All the more reason to try,” she added.

The Orange is the New Black alum took to Threads again on Tuesday, stating that she had “finalized all of my reports,” adding that she was “no longer able to comment, repost, or talk publicly about any of those cases, or the individuals involved.”

In the wake of Rose’s allegations, a representative for Perry said in a statement to ABC News on Monday, “The allegations being circulated on social media by Ruby Rose about Katy Perry are not only categorically false, they are dangerous and reckless lies.”

They added, “Ms. Rose has a well-documented history of making serious public allegations on social media against various individuals, claims that have repeatedly been denied by those named.”

If you or someone you know experienced sexual assault and is seeking resources, call the National Sexual Assault Hotline at 1-800-656-HOPE (4673). If you are in immediate danger, call 911.

Pink Floyd’s love of soccer memorialized in new merch collection

April 15, 2026 by WDNY Radio

Pink Floyd and Sony Italy have teamed with soccer club Inter Milan for a new merch line celebrating the 50th anniversary of the band’s iconic album Wish You Were Here.

The collection includes a T-shirt, jersey, tote bag, picks and more, as well as a limited-edition anthem jacket, which will be worn by players during the pre-match of Inter vs Cagliari on Friday. The jacket features exclusive Inter x Pink Floyd patches.

While the collaboration may seem out of the ordinary, it turns out the band — David Gilmour, Roger Waters, Nick Mason and Richard Wright — started their own club, the Pink Floyd Football Club (PFFC), in the 1970s, where they would play alongside members of their staff, crew and journalists.

The collection was inspired by a photo of the PFFC club taken by photographer Kim Gottlieb-Walker, which was shared on Instagram alongside the announcement.

The Inter x Pink Floyd capsule collection is available now.

The Monkees’ ‘Good Times!’ to be reissued for band’s 60th anniversary

April 15, 2026 by WDNY Radio

The 60th anniversary of The Monkees is being celebrated with an expanded edition of the band’s 2016 studio album, Good Times!

Good Times! (10th Anniversary Deluxe Edition), dropping May 29, will include the original album, plus previously unreleased instrumental versions of each song and four rare session outtakes.

Released to commemorate the band’s 10th anniversary, Good Times! reunited then-surviving Monkees members Micky Dolenz, Michael Nesmith and Peter Tork, and featured a posthumous contribution from Davy Jones, who passed away in 2012.

“Working on Good Times! was an extraordinary experience. None of us could have imagined that nearly 50 years after our last Top 20 record, we’d be back there again with a new Monkees album. That means a lot,” says Dolenz, who is the last surviving member of The Monkees. “Mike, Peter, and I had a wonderful time making that record, and I have no doubt Davy’s spirit was right there with us. We really did have a good time.”

The reissue will be released as a two-CD set, and digitally for the first time. It will also be released as part of Rhino Reserve’s audiophile vinyl series.

Good Times! featured songs written specifically for the group by artists like Weezer’s Rivers Cuomo, Death Cab for Cutie’s Ben Gibbard, Oasis’ Noel Gallagher and more. It also featured older material penned by artists like Carole King, Neil Diamond and Harry Nilsson. The album peaked at #14 on the Billboard 200 Albums chart.

Good Times! (10th Anniversary Deluxe Edition) is available for preorder now.

Dolenz is currently celebrating The Monkees’ 60th anniversary on the road. He recently launched his 60 Years of The Monkees tour, which hits Vienna, Virginia, on Wednesday. A complete list of dates can be found at MickyDolenz.com.
