David Bowie’s widow Iman releases fragrance inspired by late husband, Love Memoir; says she’ll never remarry

November 17, 2021 by WDNY Radio

David Bowie‘s widow, Somali-born supermodel Iman, has just released a fragrance called Love Memoir that she says is an homage to her “epic romance” with and “everlasting love” for her late husband, who died of liver cancer in 2016 at age 69.

Iman tells People that creating fragrance, which is available now exclusively via the HSN network and HSN.com, helped to ease her sorrow as she grieved for her rock-legend husband during the COVID-19 pandemic while spending time at the home they shared in upstate New York.

“There is an alchemy and magic to it,” Iman says. “I put in the woodsy vetiver that reminds me of David and the cologne he wore the night we met [Grey Vetiver by Tom Ford], and then the bergamot of Tuscany [Italy], where we were married.”

Iman tells People that she knows Bowie would have been proud of her fragrance venture, noting that he was very encouraging during the 1990s when she started her Iman Cosmetics company.

“As much as I find myself confident, I’m actually very apprehensive of starting things, especially businesses,” she notes. “If David was not in my life, I don’t know if I would have had the courage to start Iman Cosmetics — he’s fearless in that way. He gave me the courage.”

The couple were married in 1992 and had one daughter together, now-21-year-old Alexandra “Lexi” Jones.

Iman says after losing Bowie, she won’t consider getting married again, something he told her daughter when Lexi asked her how she felt about the subject.

“I still feel married,” Iman explains to People. “Someone a few years ago referred to David as my late husband and I said ‘No, he’s not my late husband. He’s my husband.'”

Wave says fans will also be able to interact with and influence the concert’s performances and environments.

Brett Young’s hoping a Major League Baseball team will soon call Nashville home

November 17, 2021 by WDNY Radio

Baseball has always been a big part of Brett Young’s life. As a teen, he even thought he’d pursue the sport professionally, and he was drafted to play on the Minnesota Twins after high school. But he chose to go to Ole Miss instead, where he played baseball for a year before getting sidelined by an elbow injury.

And while the singer’s very happy in his country music career, he’s found a way to incorporate his passion for baseball into his life, too. On Wednesday, he joined Music City Baseball’s Music Advisory Board, People reports. That means that Brett will have a hand in lobbying for a Major League team to officially make its home in Nashville.

“I would absolutely love bringing a team to Nashville that I could get behind and support and be a part of,” he explains. “I think it would be great for the city, and selfishly, it would be amazing for me to have a team here in town.”

Even though he’s not a professional ball player anymore, Brett says he learned a valuable skill set during his time on the field.

“As an adult, I realize that the most important thing that ever happened to me as a result of baseball was the work ethic that I learned,” he reflects. “It’s something that carried over to my music career and has served me very well, and I’ll always be grateful to baseball for that.”

In his new position on Music City Baseball’s Music Advisory Board, Brett’s in superstar company: Darius Rucker, Justin Timberlake and Luke Combs are also board members.

Person in St. Vincent “camp” tests positive for COVID-19

November 17, 2021 by WDNY Radio

A person in St. Vincent‘s “camp” has tested positive for COVID-19.

In a statement posted Wednesday, the “Los Ageless” rocker writes, “Despite vigilant and strict adherence to COVID protocols including vaccinations and indoor masking requirements, a member of the St. Vincent camp has tested positive.”

As a result, St. Vincent is pulling out of the ironically named Corona Capital festival, set to take place this weekend in Mexico City.

“As disappointing and difficult as this decision has been, the safety of all those playing an attending the festival comes first,” the statement reads.

Corona Capital, which also includes Tame Impala, Royal Blood and Twenty One Pilots on the bill, was St. Vincent’s last live date scheduled for 2021. She’ll return to the live stage in February to play Arizona’s Innings Festival.
