The first pressing will be limited to 4,000 copies, and a second edition release will arrive in the fall of 2022. You can pre-order your copy now via the Gorillaz web store.
Meanwhile, Gorillaz has also announced the theatrical premiere of the Song Machine Livefrom Kong concert film. It’ll screen in cinemas worldwide for one night only on December 8.
Gabby Barrett might be a country superstar, but she’s been influenced by musical legends from all kinds of genres — including late pop artist Michael Jackson. Now, Gabby finds ways to tribute the “Billy Jean” star with her own performances, including her stage outfits.
In fact, Jackson has part of the reason why she wears special gloves onstage when she performs her biggest hit, “I Hope.” Like Michael did, Gabby includes a flair for the dramatic in her music, she recounts to Kelleigh Bannen on Apple Music’s Today’s Country Radio.
She initially planned to wear the gloves during a performance at the 2020 CMA Awards, and although she wound up not including them as part of her outfit, she always hoped to be able to find a chance to wear them onstage.
“I’m so specific about my colors of gold and stuff matching that the gloves did not match to the chains on [my] outfit. So I was like, ‘I can’t wear them,'” she recalls. “And so I always saved those gloves and I wanted to wear them for something, but I wanted to wear them at the CMAs as a nod to Michael Jackson. And I just love the glove, and all of that. And so I kept them and I was like, ‘We need to use them for tour.'”
Gabby will also return to the stage of the CMAs this year. She’s set to perform her hit “The Good Ones,” which is nominated for two awards at this year’s show.
The latest installment of ABC’s Family Singalong franchise airs tonight. The Queen Family Singalongpays tribute to the iconic British rock group via songs belted out by a variety of music stars, including the band’s current lead singer, Adam Lambert.
Sharing some details about the special, Lambert says, “[Y]ou’re going to hear Queen songs in new and different ways that you’ve not heard them before, sung by some of your favorites and I think there’s a lotta surprises in there as well. I’m really happy to be a part of it and I can’t wait for people to see it.”
Lambert will be featured singing “Show Must Go On” on the special, which is hosted by former Glee star Darren Criss. Other artists who will perform on the show include Fall Out Boy, former Alice Cooper guitarist Orianthi, Alessia Cara, Jimmie Allen, Miss Piggy, JoJo Siwa, OneRepublic and Pentatonix.
Previous installments of ABC’s Singalong specials have focused on Disney music, so perhaps it’s not surprising that the Queen-themed show also will feature the casts of the Broadway productions of Disney’s The Lion King and Aladdin.
The Queen Family Singalong airs tonight at 8 p.m ET on ABC.
Here’s a select list of performances from the special:
Adam Lambert –- “The Show Must Go On”
Derek Hough featuring Alexander Jean -– “Another One Bites the Dust”
Fall Out Boy -– “Under Pressure”
Jimmie Allen featuring Miss Piggy -– “Crazy Little Thing Called Love”

OneRepublic -– “We Are the Champions”
Pentatonix –- “Somebody to Love”

Your weekend is about to get a lot heavier, courtesy of Slipknot.
Following a tease earlier this week, the masked metallers have announced that they’ll be releasing a new song called “The Chapeltown Rag” this Friday, November 5. They’ll also be debuting it live during their headlining set at Knotfest Los Angeles tomorrow.
Speaking with Knotfest.com, frontman Corey Taylor describes “The Chapeltown Rag” as “frenetic,” a “punisher” and “classic Slipknot.”
“Lyrically, it’s coming from a point of talking about the various manipulations that can happen when social media meets media itself,” Taylor explains. “And the different ways that these manipulations can try to pull us in different directions, in the fact that we’re all becoming addicts to it, which is very, very dangerous.”
The title “The Chapeltown Rag” references the English town victimized by serial killer Peter Sutcliffe, aka the “Yorkshire Ripper,” in the 1970s. Taylor came up with the title after watching a Netflix documentary about Sutcliffe, after which the streaming service kept suggesting he should watch more serial killer docs.
“At that moment, everything was just kind of steering towards violence, or a history of violence,” Taylor says. “And it was just such a weird echo of social media. And the fact that social media tries to steer you towards violence or steer you towards the most toxic thing — the most toxic moment. So I looked at it from that standpoint.”
“The Chapeltown Rag” is the first new Slipknot song to follow the band’s 2019 album, We Are Not Your Kind.
Jimmy Fallon has revealed that Taylor Swift will appear on The Tonight Show on Thursday, November 11, the day before she releases Red (Taylor’s Version).
Jimmy broke the news by tweeting a video of himself pinning a card with Taylor’s name on it onto his bulletin board showing his upcoming guests. Actually, he first pins up the card using a clear pushpin, then takes it down and tacks it back up with a red pushpin, as one of Taylor’s hits from Red, “I Knew You Were Trouble,” plays.
One Swiftie pointed out that the video is 13 seconds long — with 13, of course, being Taylor’s lucky number.
Taylor is doing something of an NBC takeover next week: In addition to appearing on The Tonight Show on November 11, she’ll also be on Late Night with Seth Meyers that same evening. Then, on November 13, she’ll be the musical guest on Saturday Night Live.
Red (Taylor’s Version) is the second re-recorded album that Taylor’s released, following Fearless (Taylor’s Version), which came out back in April and hit number one.
Travis Scott is taking his Astroworld festival performance around the globe.
La Flame’s concert on Friday at Houston’s NRG Park will be streamed live on Apple Music to 167 countries and regions. The “Sicko Mode” rapper’s show will begin 10 p.m. ET / 7 p.m. PT. Scott also announced Thursday he’s dropping new music at midnight and unveiled the cover art on Instagram, which reads, in part, “The true dystopia is here.”
As previously reported, Young Thug, SZA, Lil Baby, 21 Savage, Roddy Ricch, Baby Keem, Bad Bunny, BIA, Don Tolliver, Master P and Earth, Wind & Fire are among the 20 acts set for the two-day Astroworld fest on Friday and Saturday, which is sold out. One hundred thousand people are expected for the third annual festival.
After holding the fest in 2018 and 2019, Travis was forced to cancel the 2020 event due to COVID-19.
In addition to music, the festival will feature an amusement park with more than 30 custom carnival games and rides, including a roller coaster, a Ferris wheel and bumper cars. Jordans from Nike, and tickets to Houston Astros home games will be among the over 100 prizes that will be awarded.
Scott began Astroworld Week on Tuesday, featuring sports and educational activities in Houston raising awareness and funds in support of his nonprofit Cactus Jack Foundation. “Injecting the city with inspirational features and activities for charity is a must,” Travis wrote on Instagram in announcing Astroworld Week.
Nike Jordan is sponsoring a celebrity golf tournament, and also debuting an outdoor basketball court with a clinic for 75 fifth graders.
Scott also launched a youth center, connecting high school students with career opportunities in graphic design, fashion, agriculture, food and nutrition.
Adele makes it look effortless in the video for “Easy on Me,” but in a new bloopers video she shows what was really going on behind the scenes.
“It’s all smoke and mirrors!” the singer captions in the hilarious compilation. “Here’s all the bloopers from the Easy On Me video.”
The clip features Adele struggling to insert a cassette tape into the car’s cassette player over multiple takes, dealing with a coat that won’t cooperate, and being hit in the face with flying sheet music.
Angels & Airwaves have announced a streaming concert taking place November 9.
The virtual event will feature performances from Tom DeLonge and company’s new album, Lifeforms, and will also give viewers an opportunity to purchase an exclusive AVA NFT.
Meanwhile, AVA’s current live tour continues with two nights in Los Angeles on Friday and Saturday, and will conclude Sunday with a show in San Diego. You can also catch them perform on Thursday night’s The Late Late Show on CBS.
Lifeforms, AVA’s sixth studio album and first in seven years, was released in September.
Ava Max time-travels to the 1920s and gets everybody dancing in the video for “The Motto,” her new collaboration with superstar DJ Tiësto.
In the clip, a tipsy Ava leaves a party at a hotel and gets into an elevator, which she manages to short out with her glass of champagne. It goes haywire and deposits her in the lobby of the hotel in the Jazz Age, where bellhops and flappers eye her curiously.
Oblivious to the stares, Ava chugs Champagne, dances, and steals some era-appropriate accessories, before riding a luggage cart to another part of the hotel. There, Tiësto is hosting a banquet, which Ava promptly crashes, ruining a Champagne tower and dancing on the table — until everyone gets up and joins her.
The wild party ends with everyone posing for a group photo, which magically becomes a framed, sepia-toned picture hanging in the lobby of the modern-day hotel, in a nod to the movie The Shining.
As the clip ends, we see modern-day Ava walk across the lobby in front of the picture, while telling someone on the phone, “Man, last night was crazy. It felt like a dream!”
“Ava is such an exciting young talent and her beautiful voice adds such depth to the song…‘The Motto’ is the party anthem keeping us dancing into 2022 as we close out a crazy year!” says Tiësto in a statement.
“When Tiesto shared this record with me, I fell in love and couldn’t stop playing it,” Ava adds. “‘The Motto’ is empowering – it’s about not caring, doing you, having a good time, and letting the world know!”
