October 3, 2022 by WDNY Radio

If you went to a concert over the weekend, you may have seen one of a few high-profile onstage collaborations.

On Friday, the first night of Eddie Vedder‘s Ohana Festival in Dana Point, California, the Pearl Jam frontman made a surprise appearance during Steve Nicks‘ headlining set.

Vedder joined the Fleetwood Mac legend for a version of “Stop Draggin’ My Heart Around,” which Nicks first recorded as a duet with Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers.

Meanwhile, on the other side of the country, The Killers brought out Bruce Springsteen during their show at New York City’s Madison Square Garden Saturday.

“I don’t know if you’ve noticed, but me and my friends have all been sweating bullets up here all night long,” Killers frontman Brandon Flowers told the crowd. “Because The Boss is here.”

According to Setlist.fm, Bruce joined The Killers for renditions of his own songs “Badlands” and “Born to Run,” as well as the “Mr. Brightside” outfit’s song “A Dustland Fairytale.”

The Killers also played MSG on Friday, with an opening set from Johnny Marr, who had a surprise reunion with his old Smiths bandmate Andy Rourke. They played several Smiths songs, including “There Is a Light That Never Goes Out.”

Finally, Courtney Love showed up during The Lemonheads‘ show Friday in London. According to Consequence, the Hole frontwoman joined longtime friend Evan Dando for his band’s song “Into Your Arms.”

The Lemonheads are currently on tour celebrating the 30th anniversary of their 1992 album, It’s a Shame About Ray.

October 3, 2022 by WDNY Radio

Reba McEntire is keeping the fun going with the extension of her Reba: Live in Concert tour.

After launching the tour in November 2021 with several sold-out shows throughout 2022, the country legend has added 14 new dates in 2023, including her debut headlining show at Madison Square Garden in New York City.

The new leg takes Reba to arenas across the U.S. in March and April, beginning in Jacksonville, FL on March 9 and wrapping up on April 15 at MSG. Terri Clark and gospel group The Isaacs will open for her along the way.

“I’m just having so much fun out the road that we’ve decided to add more dates and continue the fun on in to 2023,” Reba shares on social media.

Tickets for the new shows go on sale October 7. Reba will embark on the previously announced fall leg of the tour on October 13 in Lafayette, LA.

Lindsey Buckingham cancels European tour “due to ongoing health issues”

October 3, 2022 by WDNY Radio

Lindsey Buckingham has scrapped the remainder of his current European tour for medical reasons.

A statement on his Instagram feed reads, “Due to ongoing health issues, Lindsey Buckingham is regrettably having to cancel the remaining shows on his current European tour. Refunds will be available from the point of purchase. Lindsey sends his deepest apologies to all his fans who were planning to attend and hopes to return to Europe in the future.”

It’s not clear what those health issues are. Buckingham, 73, was originally supposed to do the shows in question earlier this year, but they were postponed after he and some of his touring party got COVID-19.

In 2019, the former Fleetwood Mac guitarist had a heart attack and underwent triple-bypass surgery. That procedure required the insertion of a breathing tube that damaged his vocal cords, but luckily, it was only temporary.

Buckingham’s tour was in support of his 2021 self-titled solo album.

October 3, 2022 by WDNY Radio

U2‘s Bono will support his forthcoming memoir with a 14-city world tour that kicks off November in New York City.

Bono’s memoir Surrender: 40 Songs, One Story will be released November 1. The first date of the tour is November 2 at New York’s Beacon Theatre. He’ll then visit Boston, Toronto, Chicago, Nashville, San Francisco and Los Angeles before heading overseas for appearances in the U.K., Ireland, Germany and France, and wrapping things up in Madrid, Spain on November 28.

The tour is described as “an evening of words, music and some mischief,” which means Bono won’t only be talking about his life, he’ll be singing about it too. In a statement, he says, “I miss being on stage and the closeness of U2’s audience. In these shows, I’ve got some stories to sing, and some songs to tell.”

He adds, “Plus, I want to have some fun presenting my ME-moir, Surrender, which is really more of a WE-moir, if I think of all the people who helped me get from there to here.”

Tickets for the book tour go on sale this Friday, October 7 at 10 a.m. local time via Ticketmaster, and each ticket comes with a copy of Bono’s book. There’s a two-ticket limit per person.

Surrender: 40 Songs, One Story has 40 chapters, each named after a U2 song. They tell Bono’s story from his days as a child growing up in Dublin, to the loss of his mother when he was 14, to the founding of U2 and their rise to global stardom. It also covers Bono’s activism, working to fight AIDS and extreme poverty. The singer’s also created 40 original drawings for the book.

October 3, 2022 by WDNY Radio

Beyoncé is one proud big sister.

Taking to social media over the weekend, the mega star showed love to her younger sister, Solange Knowles, for her latest accomplishment of composing an original score for the New York City Ballet.

Alongside two photos of Solange — one of her holding several flower arrangements and another of her looking and waving to someone out of frame — Beyoncé wrote in an Instagram post. “My beloved sister, there are no words to express the pride and admiration I have for you.”

“You are a visionary and one of one,” she continued. “Congratulations on being the first African American woman to compose for the New York City Ballet. The piece you composed is phenomenal.”

“I love you deep,” the “CUFF IT” singer added. “Might I suggest you don’t f*** with my sis.”

Solange debuted her work at the annual Fall Fashion Gala at New York’s Lincoln Center on September 28.

HARDY injured in tour bus crash

October 3, 2022 by WDNY Radio

HARDY is asking for prayers after his tour bus was involved in an accident.

“Following last night’s show, our tour bus was in an accident on our way home from Bristol,” he tweeted on Sunday afternoon. “There were just four of us, including myself, on the bus, however we were all treated for significant injuries.”

“Our friend, and bus driver, needs your prayers as he is still in the hospital,” HARDY continued. “His family is with him while he is being treated and we’re all pulling and praying for him.”

The “wait in the truck” singer added that he’s been released from the hospital but was “ordered by doctors to recover for the next few weeks which may cost us at a couple of shows.”

“My team and I will keep the fans updated on that as I rest in the coming days,” he shared.

“Please keep our road family in your prayers and I promise to keep you updated in the days to follow,” he concluded. “God bless our medics and local and state officials for their quick response and incredible service.”

HARDY and his team were traveling from Bristol, Tennessee to Nashville early Sunday when the incident occurred. His next scheduled appearance is on October 8 with Morgan Wallen. It’s unclear if that will still happen.

Ciara says her “super R&B” new album feels just like her first project

October 3, 2022 by WDNY Radio

If you didn’t know, R&B diva Ciara has been working on a new album and revealed this week that she’s just as excited for it as she was for her very first project.

Though Goodies debuted close to two decades ago, the singer says it’s still her best body of work. That may or may not be the case after creating her newest album — one that she says has her feeling like the old Ci Ci again.

“I really mean this, my first album to me was my best album of my whole journey,” she told Apple Music 1’s Zane Lowe. “I feel like this album has taken me right there where that album was, energetic, energy wise, tonality, the R&B core that’s in this record.”

The singer admits she isn’t fond of listening to her own records. “It’s not that I don’t love my music,” she said, “It’s just, I feel weird listening to myself.”

But with the new, unnamed project, she doesn’t feel that way. Maybe it’s due to the “super,” “hardcore R&B” throughout? Maybe it’s because of the album’s ability to make people want to dance? Either way, “there’s something about this record that just feels complete.”

The Grammy winner released her latest single, “Better Thangs” featuring Summer Walker, on September 28. The carefree, upbeat vibe of the track could be a symbol of what’s to come on the album. This summer she teased and released her now-popular hit “Jump” and the many accompanying dance videos on social media.

As for what fans can expect from the new album, the star says there’ll be some “fun treats and surprises.”

“The fans have asked for a few things over the years, and they’re going to get what they wanted with this album,” Ciara says.
