Mick Fleetwood and Sammy Hagar joined forces on New Year’s Eve for a benefit show in Maui.
Both rockers posted footage from the concert on their Instagram accounts. Mick noted that the show raised money for the Maui Health Foundation, an organization providing high-quality health care to those in need.
“HAPPY 2026 TO ALL! We rocked all night,” Mick wrote next to his video. “What a night and cheers to the new year.”
Sammy posted video of the night as well, including a clip of him enlisting Adam Sandler from the audience to join him in singing Led Zeppelin’s “Whole Lottta Love.”
Meanwhile, Sammy also posted a separate video where he detailed his New Year’s resolutions, sharing, “I’m just gonna keep doing more of the same, and I mean more of the same, not gonna change anything.”
More of the same for Sammy includes another set of Best of All Worlds Las Vegas residency dates, which kick off March 11 at Dolby Live at Park MGM. He’ll also launch a Best of All Worlds U.K. tour on July 4 in Manchester, marking his first time playing the U.K. since 1996.

Chappell Roan had a great 2025, releasing two singles, playing festivals worldwide, doing a series of pop-up shows in the U.S., attending the Met Ball and winning a Grammy. But in a newsletter to fans, she reveals that some of those events were nearly called off.
In the letter, which was posted on Reddit, Chappell writes, “I’m very, very proud of my team for getting me through this year’s touring schedule, it was brutal, even though it was less than half of what I normally do.”
Chappell writes that during those live shows, she “fell in love with quick costume changes and theatrical fashion and wearing even weirder makeup,” but goes on to reveal, “I almost canceled the American portion of the tour because I didn’t feel like I was mentally healthy enough.”
“I’m not sure it was the right move to push through, but I did it anyway,” she continues. “I don’t pat myself on the back for it, I just look back and I’m like, ‘damn why did I do that?’ Ultimately, I’m glad I did because I have such lifelong memorable experiences and it made me happy to perform in my hometown [Kansas City, Missouri], New York and LA.”
Chappell goes on to say that she feels 2026 should be “the year of taking care of myself and others and really engaging in a community that feels real and not online.”
She signed off by thanking fans for “listening to my music, showing up to my shows, wearing my merch, and watching my music videos. I feel very loved.”

After getting inducted into the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame in 2025, Soundgarden is teasing more activity in the coming year.
“2025 was super busy!” the “Black Hole Sun” outfit writes in an Instagram Story. “There’s more to come in 2026!”
We’ll see if that means the release of the final Soundgarden album, which the band had been working on prior to the death of frontman Chris Cornell in 2017. The material has long been in limbo due to a dispute between Soundgarden and the late Cornell’s estate, handled by his widow, Vicky Cornell.
In 2023, Soundgarden and Vicky Cornell announced they’d reached an agreement to allow the release of new music, however, drummer Matt Cameron shared in an interview later that year that plans for the record were still on hold.
The surviving Soundgarden members — Cameron, guitarist Kim Thayil and bassist Ben Shepherd — reunited at the Rock Hall induction ceremony in November to perform alongside Alice in Chains‘ Jerry Cantrell and Pearl Jam‘s Mike McCready, as well as guest vocalists Taylor Momsen and Brandi Carlile. They also reunited with original bassist Hiro Yamamoto.
“Thank you for your continued love and support,” Soundgarden’s post continues. “Thank you for guiding us into the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame. We felt your affection during the induction ceremony and it made us proud.”
Highlights from the ceremony aired during an ABC special Thursday, which is now available to stream on Hulu.

Peter Gabriel is starting the new year with new music.
The two-time Rock & Roll Hall of Famer has announced he’ll release the new album o/i this year, which is the follow up to 2023’s i/o.
Like i/o, Gabriel plans to release a new song from the album with each full moon of the year. The first track, “Been Undone,” is coming on Saturday to coincide with the Wolf Moon. The entire album will be released by the end of the year, along with Dark-Side and Bright-Side mixes, handled by Tchad Blake and Mark “Spike” Stent, respectively.
“I’m delighted to say that tonight, at the full moon, we will be beginning another year of full moon releases under the name oi,” Gabriel wrote on his website. “The songs are a mix of thoughts and feelings.”
He noted, “These are my lumpy bits –i/o: the inside has a new way out and oi: the outside has a new way in. … Some of these songs are going to form part of the brain project that I’ve been exploring for a number of years, and some just make me feel happy. I hope you like them.”
Similar to i/o, the release of each new song will be accompanied by a piece of art. The “Been Undone” piece, Ciclotrama 156 (Palindrome), is from São Paulo–based artist Janaina Mello Landini.

Songs from David Bowie, Michael Jackson and more appear on Stranger Things: Soundtrack from the Netflix Series, Season 5, which is now available via digital outlets.
The collection features 14 songs, including tracks from Volume 1 and Volume 2 of season 5, as well as newly added songs from the series finale, which premiered on New Year’s Eve. Songs featured on the soundtrack include Jackson’s “Rockin’ Robin,” Tiffany‘s “I Think We’re Alone Now” and ABBA‘s “Fernando.”
One of the new additions to the soundtrack is Bowie’s “Heroes,” which was the series finale’s final song, and played over the final credits. It turns out Joe Keery, who plays Steve Harrington on the show, was the one who suggested it for the series’ send-off.
“Once Joe said that we immediately knew that was the right song to end the show on because it is, in some ways, an anthem for Stranger Things,” says series co-creator Ross Duffer. “To use the original Bowie version just felt right and fitting for the conclusion.”
Other new additions include Iron Maiden’s “The Trooper,” Pixies’“Here Comes Your Man” and Cowboy Junkies’ cover of The Velvet Underground’s “Sweet Jane.”
In addition to the streaming release, Stranger Things: Soundtrack from the Netflix Series, Season 5 will be released Jan. 30 on CD, vinyl and red cassette. There will also be colored vinyl variants: red smoke, sold exclusively at Amazon; blue smoke, sold exclusively at Target; orange marble, sold exclusively at Walmart; and marble yellow, sold through the Sony Music store.
Here is the track list to Stranger Things: Soundtrack from the Netflix Series, Season 5: “Rockin’ Robin” – Michael Jackson “I Think We’re Alone Now” – Tiffany “Fernando” – ABBA “Mr. Sandman” – The Chordettes “Pretty In Pink” – The Psychedelic Furs “Heroes” – David Bowie “The Trooper” – Iron Maiden “Here Comes Your Man” – Pixies “Sh-Boom” – The Chords “Oh Yeah” – Yello “Human Cannonball” – Butthole Surfers “Heart and Soul” – Floyd Cramer “Sweet Jane” – Cowboy Junkies “To Each His Own” (Inspired by the Paramount Picture To Each His Own) – Freddy Martin & His Orchestra

New year, better Fivio Foreign. At least, that’s what the rapper is aiming for.
He announced on New Year’s Eve that he’ll soon be checking himself into a rehabilitation center.
“I wanna let y’all know, with the help of my team, my wife, my family, my probation officer, and the people I’ve been talking to: I’m admitting myself into a rehab center in the next couple of days, for like a week or two,” Fivio said in an Instagram video, where he’s seated at a table alongside his wife and their son.
“I had to pay $10,000 to get into it. You know what I’m saying? I just feel like I’m at a point where, you know, I want to change, I wanna live, and I wanna stop making a lot of dumb decisions and a lot of dumb mistakes that I’ve been making,” Fivio said of his decision.
He then asked his fans for their support as he embarks on what he described as a serious journey, adding, “I got my beautiful lifestyle and I don’t want to lose that for nothing.”
It’s not clear what specifically Fivio will be addressing while in treatment.
While Jonas Brothers went nonstop in 2025, Nick Jonas doesn’t seem to be slowing down in 2026.
After ringing in the New Year with a JoBros show in Hollywood, Florida, streamed live on Samsung TV Plus, Nick has released his new single, “Gut Punch,” from his forthcoming album, Sunday Best.
In the song, Nick confronts self-doubt, singing, “Hit me like a gut punch/ I hurt my own feelings/How did I get so good at being mean to myself … Damn, I really hate the way I talk to myself.”
“I tend to be hypercritical of myself, not typically about my appearance or getting older, but I was wondering, ‘Am I doing everything to be the best version of myself? Am I a present and thoughtful husband? Am I a good father?’” Nick says in a statement.
“As time goes by, the stress and complications of life will weigh on you,” he adds. “It’s important to remember there was once a version of you who was carefree and loved the world.”
Nick explained on Instagram that he chose to release “Gut Punch” on New Year’s Day because he felt people would relate to its message. “There’s a lot of pressure to be the perfect version of yourself at the start of the year,” he wrote. “And that’s just not possible and that’s okay.”
Sunday Best will be out on Feb. 6.
Nick’s been playing “Gut Punch” live on the Jonas Brothers’ tour since November, including at the New Year’s Eve show. That concert featured celebrity video appearances from Eli Manning, Jimmy Fallon, Michael Bublé, Paul Rudd, Will Ferrell, Tina Fey and more, along with highlights from guest performers on tour, such as Alex Warren and Jordin Sparks.

Jelly Roll is opening up about shedding 275 pounds and the motivation behind his major weight loss.
The “Beautifully Broken” singer-songwriter is the latest cover star of Men’s Health, fulfilling the dream he shared back in December 2024. He also stars in a new documentary short from Men’s Health, titled A Year for a Life.
“I was killing myself. Literally,” Jelly Roll says. “I mean, I was eating myself to absolute death.”
Men’s Health editorial director Richard Dorment told ABC News the team wanted to find out why Jelly Roll was so determined to make a significant change.
“We really wanted to get to the root of what was driving this desire for transformation,” Dorment said. “So once we started to have that conversation, we really began to understand his why, which was his relationship with food and what he came to think of as a food addiction.”
Jelly Roll doesn’t hold back about his struggles, fears and vulnerabilities in the short film, which follows him for a year as he works toward his transformation.
“Here I was going into my 40s at 500 and some pounds,” Jelly Roll said. “I think I was just trying to find my way into whatever I could, and I think what I was doing was, I felt so misunderstood that I was closet-eating the whole time.”
The film also shows Jelly Roll, now 41, working out, from boxing and doing push-ups to running stairs at arenas.
“I wish I could bottle what I’m feeling right now up and give it to everybody who’s struggling out there,” Jelly Roll says in the trailer. “It is special, it’s different, and it really came through food and exercise. It came through just being willing to pound the pavement and get my heart rate up.”

Wedding bells chimed for Este Haim on New Year’s Eve.
The eldest of the HAIM sisters got married to tech entrepreneur Jonathan Levin on Dec. 31, according to Vogue, which documented her final dress fitting ahead of the ceremony.
“I’ve been looking forward to this day since I was five,” Este told Vogue of her wedding. “When I was five, I had this vision of me, coming down a spiral staircase, there’s a scene in Cinderella that probably is what I was mimicking, but I would descend in this giant ballroom gown, and then my fiancé, [my] husband, would be at the bottom and grab my hand.”
According to photos published by People, wedding guests included well-known HAIM pal Taylor Swift, as well as Fleetwood Mac icon Stevie Nicks.
ABC Audio has reached out to reps for HAIM for confirmation.
