A deluxe edition of the 2004 Beastie Boys album, To the 5 Boroughs, will be released as a new box set.
The package will be available as a three-LP and two-CD collection on April 17. Both versions include the original album plus 11 bonus tracks consisting of B-sides and remixes.
The deluxe To the 5 Boroughs was previously released digitally in 2019. This marks the first time it will be available on physical formats.
To the 5 Boroughs marked the sixth Beastie Boys album and spawned the singles “Ch-Check It Out,” which became their first, and only, song to hit #1 on the Billboard Alternative Airplay chart.
The Beasties followed To the 5 Boroughs with two more albums, 2007’s The Mix-Up and 2011’s Hot Sauce Committee Part Two. The group disbanded after the 2012 death of founding member Adam “MCA” Yauch.
Chris Young’s ‘I Didn’t Come Here to Leave’ (Black River)
When Chris Young was creating his Black River debut, I Didn’t Come Here to Leave, there was one song he had to have: “Til the Last One Dies.”
“It’s one of the few songs on the album that I didn’t have a hand in writing,” he tells ABC Audio. “But I just fell in love with this song and wanted it before anybody else got ahold of it.”
Though the top-25 hit is familiar territory for Chris, it still breaks new ground.
“[It’s] definitely a straight down the middle love song, which a lot of people go, ‘Well, you’ve got a bunch of love songs over the course of your career,'” he says. “But this was the first time in a long time I’d done a, like, ‘could be your first dance’ version of a love song. So I just thought it was a really amazing way to say that and turn a phrase.”
Chris currently only has a handful of dates on his concert schedule, as he hasn’t announced any 2026 tour plans yet.

Paul McCartney’s post-Beatles life in the ’70s, including the formation of his band Wings, is the focus of the new documentary Paul McCartney: Man on the Run. DirectorMorgan Neville tells ABC Audio he was interested in the story because it’s “one of the most misunderstood chapters” of any of the Beatles’ members lives.
“You think of McCartney as always winning, beloved and going from success to success. And this is like his dark night of the soul,” he says, adding it’s when McCartney had to “answer all these profound questions where he’s doubting even making music.”
Neville says McCartney was initially interested in just making a film about Wings, but the director had different ideas.
“When I sat down with him, I said, ‘Look, the story has to begin the moment The Beatles break up and to me, the story ends when John (Lennon) dies,'” he explains, noting it’s because it shows the arc of McCartney “trying to escape the shadow of The Beatles.”
The film is told through archival photos and video, as well as audio interviews with McCartney, members of Wings and others. Neville says he chose that format because it brings the film more into the present.
“If you constantly cut to people in their 80s talking about how great it was 50 years ago or whatever, it’s very retrospective,” he says.
And while Neville interviewed McCartney several times for the film, he says the rocker otherwise kept his hands off the project.
“He did not have a single comment about the film till he watched it when it was done,” Neville says, noting that after, “He actually had a pad of paper with him and he said, ‘Here are my notes,’ and he held up the page and [it] was blank.”
Paul McCartney: Man on the Run is streaming on Prime Video.
Michael Bublé, ‘Live! Caught In The Act’ (143/Reprise)
Michael Bublé performed a show at LA’s Wiltern Theater back in 2005, which later aired on PBS as part of Great Performances. It was released later that year as a DVD called Caught In The Act, which featured 19 songs. He also put out a live album of the same name, but that only featured eight songs — until now.
On April 24, Michael will release an expanded version of the album with all the songs he performed that night at the Wiltern. The release, titled Live! Caught In The Act, will feature 100 minutes worth of Michael singing a whopping 33 songs.
The first taste of the project is a live version of “That’s All,” made popular by Bobby Darin. It’s available on all streaming services; you can also preorder the album now.
Among the songs Michael performed during the concert were “Feeling Good,” “Sway,” “Fever,” “Home,” “Save the Last Dance for Me,” “Summer Wind,” “Can’t Buy Me Love,” “Crazy Little Thing Called Love” and “A Song for You.”

Return to Dust’s single “Bored” has been leaving other songs in the dust as it races up the Billboard Mainstream Rock Airplay chart, peaking at a career-high #2. It’s been a surreal experience for the rising group, especially considering all the big names surrounding them on the ranking.
“These are all bands that have been doing it for a lot longer than we have,” bassist/vocalist Graham Stanush tells ABC Audio. “So it feels kind of strange in that way.”
He laughs, “We’re probably the only band that’s in their 20s on that chart.”
While 28-year-old Yungblud might have something to say about that — and will have the opportunity to when Return to Dust opens for the “Zombie” artist on select dates of his upcoming U.S. tour — “Bored” is indeed currently charting on Mainstream Rock Airplay in between songs by veteran bands Shinedown and Chevelle.
Sonically, Return to Dust is certainly influenced by their predecessors — they have a grungy ’90s sound that’s drawing comparisons to Alice in Chains. They even wrote the beginnings of “Bored” at an underpass, channeling the image of Red Hot Chili Peppers and Nirvana’s respective ’90s classics, “Under the Bridge” and “Something in the Way.”
That all came together into a song Stanush says is “tapping into yourself and trying to figure out what the hell your life means, not someone else’s.”
The Alice comparisons are bolstered further by the use of the words “bones” and “jar” in a verse. While that may remind grunge fans of the Alice song “Them Bones” and their Jar of Flies EP, the reference wasn’t intentional.
“We listen to a whole bunch of stuff, we pull from a lot of different sources,” says guitarist/vocalist Matty Bielawski. “It’s just those words seemed to fit.”

The late Ozzy Osbourne will posthumously be honored with the lifetime achievement award at the 2026 BRITs, the U.K. equivalent of the Grammys.
The ceremony, which takes place Saturday in Manchester, England, will also feature a performance of “No More Tears” featuring Metallica bassist Robert Trujillo, as well as longtime Ozzy bandmembers Zakk Wylde, Adam Wakeman and Tommy Clufetos. The rendition will be fronted by English pop singer Robbie Williams.
“Ozzy Osbourne has been a mighty force in modern music,” says Stacey Tang, chair of the 2026 BRIT Awards Committee. “Possessing an unmistakable voice and unique presence, he reshaped the sound and spirit of rock, inspiring generations of artists who followed. This Lifetime Achievement Award [recognizes] a remarkable legacy built on originality and enduring influence, that continues to connect with fans worldwide.”
Ozzy died at age 76 on July 22, 2025, just over two weeks after he performed his final show at the Back to the Beginning concert.

At least two members of the Grohl family are readying new albums.
Dave Grohl is putting out a new Foo Fighters record, Your Favorite Toy, on April 24. Meanwhile, his daughter Violet Grohl has been working on her debut album after signing with Republic Records.
While Violet may be following in her father’s artistic footsteps, Dave says her music influenced him on Your Favorite Toy.
“It really inspired me to make this record,” Dave tells the U.K.’s Radio X. “The way that they made the record and the energy of it, I was like, ‘Oh man, I’ve just been inspired by my daughter’s debut album.’ It’s cool.”
Dave adds that he was “totally uninvolved” with Violet’s album, and only learned she had a record deal when she told him.
“She met the producer, and they would go to the studio every day and make songs, and she would send me songs when she was finished,” Dave says. “But I had absolutely nothing to do with this record at all. And I had no idea.”
While he may be biased, Dave says Violet’s album is “an amazing record.”
(NOTE LANGUAGE) Jonas Brothers are taking their Greetings From Your Hometown tour to South America: They’ve just announced three shows in Argentina, Brazil and Chile. “Ahhhh we can’t wait to bring the Greetings From Your Hometown show to Buenos Aires, Santiago and São Paulo,” they wrote on Instagram, adding, “We’ve missed you, see you THIS MAY.” The group last played in South America in April 2024.
Last year, Alex Warren and Luke Combs released a live duet version of “Ordinary” recorded at Lollapalooza. You can now watch the “Fast Car” singer perform a solo version of the track at a special concert he did in Athens, Georgia, for Columbia Sportswear. “Didn’t have @alexwarren with me this time but hopefully I did Ordinary justice,” Luke wrote on Instagram. Alex commented, “ITS YOUR SONG NOW LUKE.”
