Puscifer will launch a U.S. tour Friday in Las Vegas in support of their new album, Normal Isn’t. The band previously debuted the record live for their Live at the Pacific Stock Exchange concert film, which gave frontman Maynard James Keenan a good idea on how to bring the new material to life onstage.

“I think they translated very well live,” Keenan tells ABC Audio. “It’s gonna be a great tour, ’cause we’ll be putting in older songs with the newer songs, and I think … it will dovetail.”

Catching the tour will also provide the opportunity to hear Kennan sing the word “bunghole” in person, as he does on the Normal Isn’t song “Self Evident.” As for why he felt the need to channel The Great Cornholio, the answer is simple.

“I was avoiding, like, the obvious big words you have to bleep out,” Keenan says. “And I thought, ‘Well, bunghole works better than a******.'”

Prior to releasing Normal Isn’t, Puscifer spent 2024 and 2025 on the Sessanta tour, which celebrated Keenan’s 60th birthday. The bill also included fellow Keenan-fronted band A Perfect Circle, as well as Primus.

As for whether a Settanta tour is in the works for Keenan’s 70th birthday in 2034, luckily it sounds like we won’t have to wait that long.

“I’m sure we’ll do one before then, having talked to everybody,” Keenan says. “A Perfect Circle needs some new music, and I think Primus is working on a new album, so it would make more sense to have newer songs on that tour.”

Jeezy played four shows in Sin City in late 2025, and now he’s headed back to Las Vegas. He has announced a 10-date residency, The Legend of the Snowman, marking his return to PH Live at Planet Hollywood Resort & Casino.

He shared the news Wednesday night at the Vibes & Views series, hosted by PopViewers founder and CEO Chris Witherspoon, unveiling a trailer that has since been posted to his Instagram.

Speaking to ABC Audio, Jeezy says the experience will once again be produced by Adam Blackstone. “He’s producing the show with me. Derrick [Hodge] is doing all the music, and The Color of Noize will be back, so we doing that. We spinning the block,” he said. The event will also remain a black-tie affair.

Some things, however, have changed for this run, including the theme, which will now be centered on The Legend of the Snowman. It will also celebrate his full career, rather than just the 20th anniversary of his debut album, Let’s Get It: Thug Motivation 101.

“I’m gonna take you on a journey. So if you’ve been riding with me since day one or just started riding with me yesterday, we gonna go from front to back, back to front. So everything you’ve experienced for two decades will be a part of the show,” he said. “This is The Legend of the Snowman, so it’s gonna go through the whole discography. It’s not gonna just be based on one album.” 

The Legend of the Snowman residency kicks off May 1. A presale is underway using the code SNOWMAN. A general sale starts Monday at noon ET via Ticketmaster and Jeezy’s website.

The 50th anniversary of Marvin Gaye’s 13th studio album, I Want You, is being celebrated with a whole host of new releases.

The original album has gotten an audio upgrade with the release of a UMe Vinylphyle premium vinyl pressing, cut from the original analog tapes. In addition, a special two-LP I Want You 2 has been released, featuring a remix of the title track, bonus tracks, alternate takes and rarities. The bonus material was first reissued in 2003 on CD, but the new release marks the first time they’ve ever been released on vinyl.

Also marking the anniversary is the release of a new digital remix of the album track “Soon I’ll Be Loving You,” from Grammy-winning producer Salaam Remi, which is now available via digital outlets.

“‘Soon I’ll Be Loving You Again’ is my favorite song ever, the number one played song in my life,” says Remi. “You feel the layers and complexity of Marvin from the soles of your feet to the crown of your hair.”

But that’s not all. On March 27, the digital EP I Want You Remixed will also be released, featuring three new mixes of the title track, which was a top-20 hit for Gaye.

Released March 16, 1976, I Want You was Gaye’s follow-up to 1973’s Let’s Get It On. It peaked at #4 on the Billboard 200 and hit #1 on the Billboard Top R&B/Hip-Hop Albums chart.

Marlon Wayans and Keke Palmer will star in a new romantic buddy action-comedy, Ride or Die, which has just been acquired by Lionsgate.

Wayans will take on the role of robbery detective Martin Banks, while Palmer will play Tami Moore, “a consummate professional narcotics detective and unapologetic butt-kicker,” according to Deadline. “Sparks and bullets fly when these opposites are partnered to track down a billion-dollar cache of deadly opioids stolen from the vault of a multinational pharmaceutical company that threaten to flood the streets of Chicago.”

Wayans describes the film as When Harry Met Sally with guns, according to Deadline. It’s also being promoted as the “first romantic buddy-cop action comedy.”

Wayans co-wrote the screenplay with Rick Alvarez.

The news of Ride or Die arrives as Wayans promotes the latest installment of Scary Movie, premiering in theaters on June 5, as well as his Wild Child Tour, for which tickets are now available.

Palmer, meanwhile, continues work on her podcast; on Tuesday she dropped an episode featuring Niecy Nash-Betts. She also recently premiered the movie I Love Boosters at the South by Southwest Film & TV Festival. The film is set to be released on May 22.

Watch Miley Cyrus try to identify her own song lyrics

Even though she’s sung them hundreds of times, Miley Cyrus does not, in fact, have an encyclopedic knowledge of her own song lyrics. She proves that in a new video for Variety, in which she attempts to identify lyrics from her own songs, as well as the ones she recorded as Hannah Montana.

There are some songs Miley knows right off the bat, like “This Is the Life,” which she says is her favorite Hannah Montana song. “It was the first song I ever cut as Hannah Montana, so now, 20 years later, that it’s still living its best life, that makes me happy.”

Miley also quickly identifies “The Best of Both Worlds,” but misses “He Could Be the One.” “Dude, you said these were easy. … What the hell?” Miley complains. “I don’t frickin’ remember this song.” She also failed to identify a line from Hannah Montana: The Movie.

She identifies “Rock Star,” but says it’s only because it’s the favorite song of Hannah Montana superfan Alex Cooper, who hosted the upcoming Hannah Montana 20th Anniversary Special.

“See You Again” is an easy one for Miley to identify: It was her first single released under her own name. She strikes out with “Ordinary Girl,” but recovers with “Party in the U.S.A.” and “Hoedown Throwdown.” 

Miley also identifies “Always Find Your Way Back Home”; her controversial-at-the-time Bangerz track “We Can’t Stop”; and “Nobody’s Perfect,” a Hannah song she loves. And of course, the whole thing ends with “The Climb.”

Of the years she spent as Hannah, Miley adds, “I couldn’t imagine any other destiny for me. It felt like a perfect fit of fate, exactly what I was made to do and built for.”
