Sammy Hagar & Michael Anthony celebrate 28th anniversary of Van Halen’s ‘Balance’

January 24, 2023 by WDNY Radio

Sammy Hagar and Michael Anthony are celebrating the 28th anniversary of the Van Halen album Balance, and marked the occasion by sharing a performance of the song “Amsterdam” from The Jon Stewart Show, which aired on MTV in 1995.

“Happy anniversary to ‘Balance’! The ‘Balance’ record was such a great record, but it was during hard times for the band, and a very hard record to make,” Sammy shares. “A lot of painful dark images, bickering amongst the band, health issues, but this live performance of ‘Amsterdam’ on the Jon Stewart show shows how great this band was live.”

Anthony adds, “By the time the ‘Balance’ record came out, there was lots of tension within the band, personally, and professionally.” He noted, “One thing that was understood though was that the music was the important thing, and when we got together to play live we kicked a**, be it in concert or guesting on a TV show.” He adds, “This clip of us on Jon Stewart shows we were still delivering the goods!!!”

Balance, Van Halen’s 10th studio album, was released January 24, 1995, and was the last to feature Sammy on vocals. It went to number one on the Billboard 200 album chart and in 2004 was certified triple Platinum by the RIAA.

January 24, 2023 by WDNY Radio

It’s been several months since Garth Brooks revealed he’d gotten a tattoo, and folks are still dying to get a look at it.

Back in the fall, the superstar opened up about getting inked in honor of the women in his life: his mom, his three daughters and his wife, Trisha Yearwood.

In a recent edition of his weekly Inside Studio G chats on Facebook, we found out a little more.

“Just left chest, left back, sleeve,” Garth says of the exact location. “And the design is all about just … ivy. It’s all about — ’cause my mom was a green thumb … my oldest daughter’s a green thumb. And it has all the — it has the dates in my life … of the people who have made me want to live this life, so … pretty cool.”

If you’re still waiting for Garth to chuck his shirt and show off his ink, well, he has teased that he likely will “in time.”

January 24, 2023 by WDNY Radio

The Pet Shop Boys are getting ready to release their first new music in two years. The band announced they’re releasing a new EP, Lost, to accompany the latest edition of their book Annually, with both dropping April 15.

Songs on the EP include “The lost room,” “I will fall, “Skeletons in the closet” and “Kaputnik,” which were written and recorded in 2015 for what became the album Super.

Neil Tennant explains in a social media post that the tunes were left off Super “not because we didn’t like them, but because they didn’t fit the album.” As for why they’re coming out now, he says “they all sit together quite well, production-wise, they’re all super-electronic.” He also noted that “some of them are sort of relevant to the world at the moment.”

Meanwhile, Annually will include a diary and behind-the-scenes photos from leg one of last year’s Dreamworld tour and more. Both the book and EP are available for preorder now.

Report: Ahead of world tour, Madonna biopic starring Julia Garner is no longer going forward

January 24, 2023 by WDNY Radio

Madonna‘s biopic, which the Queen of Pop was planning to co-write, direct and produce herself, has been put on hold, Variety reports.

While insiders say that Madonna is “committed to making a film about her life one day,” she’s currently focused on her upcoming Celebration Tour, Variety notes. As of now, the project, which was going to star Ozark‘s Julia Garner, is “no longer in development” at Universal.

The film was announced in 2020, and Madonna has since worked on the script with Oscar winner Diablo Cody and The Girl on the Train screenwriter Erin Cressida Wilson. Garner won the lead role after a casting call that required weeks of singing and dancing bootcamp, attended by actors who reportedly included Florence Pugh and Bebe Rexha.

In an exclusive interview published by the French, Spanish and Italian issues of Vanity Fair last week, Madonna said, “I’m very excited about the challenges that come my way. I’m about to create another [live] show, and I’ve been working for several years on the screenplay about my life.”

In 2021, she told Jimmy Fallon, “The reason I’m doing it is a bunch of people have tried to write movies about me, but they’re always men … there’s nobody on this planet that can write or direct or make a movie about me better than me and that is just the truth.”

Madonna’s Celebration Tour, which is 98% sold out, starts July 15 in Vancouver and will feature the star performing songs from her entire 40-year career.

January 24, 2023 by WDNY Radio

Bono appears on the latest episode of the Smartless podcast with Jason Bateman, Sean Hayes and Will Arnett, and dropped a little info about U2‘s rumored Las Vegas residency at the new high-tech arena MSG Sphere.

Hayes shared that Edge told him the band was going on tour and showed him renderings of the Vegas theater, noting, “It’s going to be unbelievable.” Bono was hesitant to talk about it because it’s not official yet, but he eventually gave in … sort of.

“You are a news network now because that’s breaking news,” Bono joked, before getting serious and sharing, “We haven’t signed off on it but if we do, if we do sign off on this, I will say that if we can pull off what we’re talking about, it’s not like anything we’ve ever done before. It’s nothing like Las Vegas has ever seen before.”

He concluded, “If this happens it will be really extraordinary.”

Beyoncé to release new Ivy Park collection, Park Trail

January 24, 2023 by WDNY Radio

Beyoncé is gearing up for the release of a new Ivy Park collection that’s inspired by “the resilience of the outdoors, the spirit of the streets and the possibilities of the future.”

Called Park Trail, the line features 56 apparel styles in orange, Army green, deep purple and cream. The likes of Offset, his son Kodi, Ice Spice and NFL star Jordan Fuller model the styles in this particular campaign, which excludes Bey this time around.

According to The Hollywood Reporter, Bey also tapped some models to show off the collection in Dubai. They reportedly wore pieces from the collection at Nobu by the Beach, one of the restaurants at the Atlantis Royal, where she performed for the grand opening.

The show caused controversy due to the country’s anti-LGBTQ+ laws, but her father, Matthew Knowles, tells TMZ his daughter’s performance united a diverse crowd. He noted that she’s always been inclusive and would never intentionally cause harm to anyone.

As for comments about her excluding songs from her latest album, Renaissance, Matthew says Bey’s planning a tour that she’ll announce when she’s ready.

Park Trail will debut in Adidas stores and online on February 9.

Blake Shelton’s hoping to take some of the furniture as he leaves ‘The Voice’

January 24, 2023 by WDNY Radio

As Blake Shelton‘s time on NBC’s The Voice comes to a close, he’s thinking about taking home some souvenirs, particularly the iconic red chair he’s occupied since the show started in 2011.

But the “No Body” hitmaker is not quite convinced the powers that be are gonna let him leave with some of the furniture.

“I don’t know if they’re gonna offer that or not. I feel like they owe me a damn chair though,” he told People at the recent groundbreaking for Ole Red Las Vegas.

“I mean, who else can sit in my chair?” he adds. “It’s like the three bears — I don’t want anybody else sitting in my chair. I’m gonna try to get that away from them. Maybe I’ll have to buy it or something.”

He joked NBC probably feels like “‘you took … a lot of our money, so you should be happy with that.'” As for whether the red chair matches any of the houses he shares with Gwen Stefani, “Well that doesn’t matter because it built the home.”

Last October, Blake announced his intention to “step away from The Voice after season 23,” which premieres March 6.
