U2 has released a documentary short for their new song “Yours Eternally,” which appears on their just-released EP, Days of Ash. The song features Ed Sheeran and Ukrainian musician-turned-soldier Taras Topolia.
The four-and-a-half-minute clip was directed by Ukrainian cinematographer and filmmaker Ilya Mikhaylus and was released to mark the fourth anniversary of Russia’s invasion of Ukraine.
Mikhaylus and his crew shot the video this past December, when they were embedded alongside the soldiers of Khartiya Corps. The clip is part of a full-scale documentary that will be released at the end of the year.
“For four years, Ukraine has been resisting Russia’s full-scale invasion, and the soldiers of the Khartiya Corps are among the hundreds of thousands of Ukrainians defending their homeland,” says Mikhaylus. “In this short film, and in the upcoming full-length documentary, we attempt to show the beating human heart of those incredible men and women, the struggles and sacrifices they are making everyday for the most sacred thing on this planet – freedom.”
U2 released the six-track EP Days of Ash on Feb. 18, featuring five songs and one poem. It was described as “an immediate response to current events and inspired by the many extraordinary and courageous people fighting on the frontlines of freedom.”

Among Riley Green devotees, one of the only things that rivals seeing him shirtless is an appearance by his dog, Carl the Cowboy Corgi.
Recently, Riley revealed that Carl has become a daddy.
“Carl and Carol Ann, that’s his little girlfriend, they had corgi blue heeler puppies, and it’s all that’s going on at the farm in Alabama right now.”
“It’s kinda nice,” Riley continues. “Nobody talks to me, they just go right into the puppy room, you know? He just had two [puppies], so I’m in this weird spot of if she’d had a [large] litter, I probably would have had to get rid of some. But just two, I’m like, ‘We might have to keep ‘em.'”
For more of Carl, you can check out his Instagram.
For more of Riley, you’ll want to be sure to check out the new Taylor Sheridan series Marshals, where the country star is set to make his acting debut. It premieres March 1 on CBS and Paramount+.

The members of Rush are giving fans an update on how things are going with new drummer Anika Nilles as they get ready to launch their Fifty Something tour. It will be their first tour since the 2020 death of drummer Neil Peart.
Geddy Lee and Alex Lifeson talked to the U.K.’s Planet Rock about the tour, revealing that Nilles already knows about 25 Rush songs. Lee noted it’s been “really fun to watch” her get to know the material.
“It’s one thing to play it for the first time and to work out what are the parts that have to be essentially Neil Peart’s parts and what parts she can make her own,” Lee said. “And that has been wonderful to watch and really exciting for Al and I because now she doesn’t have to think about it.”
Lee explained that Nilles didn’t know much of their music coming into the gig.
“She knew, of course, a couple of the big songs, and of course every drummer on earth knew Neil and his reputation, he was very respected,” Lee said. He noted that Nilles did know their hit “Tom Sawyer,” but she “was kind of nervous” to play it because it’s such an important song.
Lee and Lifeson also discussed their plans to pay tribute to Peart during the show.
“We’re gonna do two sets,” said Lee. “In each of those sets, we’ll take a song and, you know, do a bit of our own way of tributing to Neil, and of course, his presence will be throughout the evening.”
The North American leg of the tour kicks off on June 7 in Los Angeles. The tour will also hit South America, Europe and the U.K. Tour dates can be found at Rush.com.

Fresh off Ryan Coogler’s history-making win at the BAFTAs, Hulu has announced it greenlight a pilot of his The X-Files reboot. He is set to write and direct the pilot, which will star Danielle Deadwyler.
Hulu reports Deadwyler will portray an FBI agent who forms an unlikely bond with a fellow agent whose personality is completely different than her own, as they work within “long-shuttered division devoted to cases involving unexplained phenomena.”
Jennifer Yale will serve as a showrunner and executive producer alongside seriescreator Chris Carter, Coogler, his wife, Zinzi Coogler, and Sev Ohanian. Proximity Media’s Simone Harris will act as co-executive producer. Francine Maisler, who previously cast Sinners, will handle casting for The X-Files reboot.
The reboot marks the latest project under Coogler’s five-year exclusive television deal with Disney.
Coogler won best original screenplay for Sinners at the BAFTA Awards, making him the first Black person to win the award.
Disney is the parent company of ABC News and Hulu.
Las Vegas “just might” name a street after Bruno Mars.
The Las Vegas Review Journal reports that the star, who’s been performing at the Dolby Theater at Park MGM in Las Vegas on and off since 2016, will have a street named after him. Specifically, reps for MGM Resorts International have told the publication that Park Avenue, which runs between the Park MGM and the T-Mobile Arena, will be renamed Bruno Mars Drive.
It’s not clear when this will happen, though Bruno does plan to kick off his The Romantic Tour April 10 with two shows at Las Vegas’ Allegiant Stadium.
Bruno’s album The Romantic, his first solo album since 2016, is out Friday. He recently unveiled the track list:
“Risk It All” “Cha Cha Cha” “I Just Might” “God Was Showing Off” “Why You Wanna Fight?” “On My Soul” “Something Serious” “Nothing Left” “Dance With Me”
Linda Perry, ‘Beautiful’ (Kill Rock Stars/670 Records)
4 Non Blondes frontwoman Linda Perry has released her version of “Beautiful,” the song she wrote that became one of Christina Aguilera’s signature hits.
It’s accompanied by a video directed by Linda’s ex-wife, Sara Gilbert, and starring their child, Rhodes Perry. Linda also appears in the clip, which is set during a talent show in the 1940s, and also features actors Lukas Haas and Shane Powers.
“Beautiful” appears on Linda’s new solo album, Let It Die Here, due out May 8. “When I wrote ‘Beautiful,’ I had no idea I was struggling inside,” she says in a statement.
Of the song’s lyric “I am beautiful no matter what they say,” Linda says, “‘They’ represents the insecurities we all face, the fear that makes people unkind simply because someone or something is different. ‘Beautiful’ is about self-expression, being free to be whoever you want to be.”
Quoting the lyric “Don’t you bring me down today,” she says, “Don’t you dare try to make me feel less than, not good enough, or ugly because I don’t look like you. Don’t treat me like I don’t matter just because I do not speak or think like you. I will shine in every single way, and no one can take that from me, you, or anyone.”
Linda will be performing the song on Tuesday’s episode of Jimmy Kimmel Live! on ABC.
