Watch video for Billy Morrison’s ‘Becoming’ single with Sully Erna and Nuno Bettencourt

April 9, 2026 by WDNY Radio

Billy Idol guitarist Billy Morrison has debuted the video for “Becoming,” his collaborative single with Godsmack frontman Sully Erna and Extreme shredder Nuno Bettencourt.

The clip, which premiered via RevolverMag.com, finds Morrison, Erna and Bettencourt performing together under a downpour of rain.

“What you can’t see in the video is the humidity!” Morrison tells Revolver. “It was over 90 degrees outside and we were locked in a steel room with constant running water for 5 hours.”

“It was like playing in an Ecuadorian Rain forest,” he adds. “It played havoc with the hair!”

“Becoming” will appear on Morrison’s upcoming album, Hollow, due out in August. The record will also include guest spots from Marilyn Manson, The Offspring’s Dexter Holland, Guns N’ Roses bassist Duff McKagan, Billy Idol’s Steve Stevens and rappers Chuck D, B-Real and DMC.

Hollow follows Morrison’s 2024 album, The Morrison Project, which includes the Ozzy Osbourne collaboration “Crack Cocaine.”

All Mariah Carey wants for Christmas is someone to buy her New York City home — probably.

The New York Post reports that Mariah has listed the penthouse she owns in New York City’s Tribeca neighborhood for $27 million. The penthouse stretches over the 16th, 17th and 18th levels of the building, with just over 12,700 square feet of living space, and has 360-degree views over the Hudson River and the Manhattan skyline.

Mariah created the property by spending about $9 million for two separate units and then cobbling them together. She hired famed decorator Mario Buatta to design the property, and he included her favorite symbol, the butterfly, everywhere, from the tiles in the kitchen to the handles on the bedroom cabinets.

This is the property that fans saw on Mariah’s legendary 2002 episode of MTV’s Cribs. In 2022, she invited Booking.com customers in for a holiday photoshoot. You can see photos of the property at StreetEasy.com.

KATSEYE releases ‘Pinky Up’ video without Manon Bannerman; she’ll reportedly miss Coachella, too

April 9, 2026 by WDNY Radio

KATSEYE’s latest era has arrived with “Pinky Up.”

The new single and video are out now. In the surreal clip for the hyperpop song, the women show off their new hairdos and a variety of colorful outfits while cavorting with stuffed animals and going crazy in the club. And of course, they also drink tea with their pinkies up.

However, judging from the Instagram comments, fans are upset that Manon Bannerman, who went on “temporary hiatus from the group” to “focus on her health and wellbeing,” is not in the video. What’s more, she won’t be joining the rest of the women for their Coachella performance Friday, according to The Korea Herald.

Earlier in April Manon said in a message to fans that she was “happy and healthy” and that she’d been having “positive conversations” with the group’s label.

As for “Pinky Up,” it’s apparently about having fun before the world ends.

“One day, soon, the world’s gonna end/ I’m gonna make out with my new bestest friends/ I wanna live large, right before it all burns down,” they sing. “I wanna get high right before we’re in the ground/ Ooh, we’re screaming from cloud nine/ No one can touch us if they tried.”

April 9, 2026 by WDNY Radio

Iron Maiden has shared a clip from the band’s upcoming documentary, Burning Ambition.

The clip features throwback footage of Maiden discussing their approach to songwriting as frontman Bruce Dickinson muses, “It seems crazy to write songs about drinking and screwing women and smoking strange substances and going out and partying … it’s much more fun doing it than it is listening to a song about it.”

“We prefer to write songs about things that people don’t do very often,” Dickinson says. “Like death.”

Burning Ambition follows Maiden’s 50-year career, and features interviews with the band members as well as fans including Metallica’s Lars Ulrich, actor Javier Bardem and rapper Chuck D. It’ll premiere in theaters on May 7.
