March 6, 2026 by WDNY Radio

On This March 6, 1946…

Pink Floyd guitarist, singer and songwriter David Gilmour was born in Cambridge, England.

The now 80-year-old joined Pink Floyd in 1967, a few months before the departure of founding member Syd Barrett.

Gilmour’s first album with the band was 1968’s A Saucerful of Secrets, appearing on all but two songs. He has appeared on every Pink Floyd album since and took over leadership of Pink Floyd following the 1985 departure of Roger Waters.

Pink Floyd went on to become one of the best-selling music artists of all time, with sales of over 250 million records worldwide. Their best-selling album, 1973’s The Dark Side of the Moon, has been certified 14-times Platinum.

Gilmour has also released five solo albums, the most recent being 2024’s Luck and Strange.

Gilmour was inducted into the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame in 1996 as a member of Pink Floyd, and was made a Commander of the Order of the British Empire (CBE) in 2003.

From Ashes to New releases new ‘Reflections’ song, ‘Die for You’

March 6, 2026 by WDNY Radio

From Ashes to New has released a new song called “Die for You,” a track off the band’s upcoming album, Reflections.

“It’s a song that captures the exhaustion of giving endlessly to someone who keeps asking for more and mistaking survival for love,” says vocalist Matt Brandyberry in a statement. “At its core, the song is about the moment clarity breaks through, forcing you to question how much of yourself you’re willing to lose.”

You can watch the “Die for You” video streaming now on YouTube.

Reflections, the follow-up to 2023’s Blackout, is due out April 17. It also includes the previously released tracks “New Disease,” “Drag Me” and “Villain.”

From Ashes to New will launch a U.S. tour alongside Black Veil Brides in April.

Hear Goo Goo Dolls’ ‘Iris’ reimagined as a dance track

March 6, 2026 by WDNY Radio

Imagine thousands of people at a festival losing their minds while dancing to … “Iris”?

Goo Goo Dolls’ iconic love ballad has been reimagined by legendary electronic music pioneer Steve Aoki into a high-energy dance track. The collaboration was sparked when Steve invited Goo Goo Dolls singer John Rzeznik to perform the song with him at the Stagecoach festival in 2025. The crowd loved it, so Steve decided to rework it into something he could play at future festivals and shows.

“Joining Steve onstage during his Stagecoach set was an unforgettable moment. The energy from the crowd was remarkable and the mixture of our two genres was amazing to witness live,” John says in a statement. “We’re thrilled to release this new version of ‘Iris’ with Steve and share that magic moment with our fans around the world.”

Steve adds in a statement, “Performing ‘Iris’ live with Goo Goo Dolls at Stagecoach was one of those rare, unforgettable moments. You could feel the connection everyone had to the song, but also this incredible rush as we brought it into a completely different environment.”

“That feeling stayed with me, and I knew we had to take it into the studio and build a version designed for festival stages, while preserving the heart of the original.”

Since its release in 1998, “Iris” — originally composed for the Nicolas Cage/Meg Ryan film City of Angels — has garnered over 5.5 billion streams worldwide. One billion of those streams were racked up in 2025 alone.

On Thursday night at New York’s Beacon Theatre, Goo Goo Dolls were one of many acts performing at the annual Love Rocks NYC concert, benefiting the charity God’s Love We Deliver. They played “Iris,” of course, as well as a cover of Tom Petty’s “You Wreck Me.”

‘Like flying’: Sam Smith welcomes Sienna Spiro to San Francisco residency

March 6, 2026 by WDNY Radio

Sienna Spiro is currently on her The Visitor Tour, but this week she made time to drop in on Sam Smith during their To Be Free residency at San Francisco’s Castro Theatre — and you can watch the footage of the moment now on Instagram.

At the show on Wednesday night, Sienna and Sam duetted on Sienna’s hit “Die on This Hill.” It was a full-circle moment, because late last year, Sienna opened for Sam when they did their residency in New York City and the two duetted on Sam’s hit “Lay Me Down.”

On Instagram, Sam wrote, “[S]inging with you is like flying. I’m so touched that you came to bless us all last night at the Castro.” Sienna commented, “I would’ve never written this song if I hadn’t grown up listening to you. Thank you so much for having me and always inspiring me. You are the greatest thank you sam, I can’t believe this.”

Sienna’s sold-out The Visitor Tour will wrap up March 18 in New York City. She’ll release her new single, also called “The Visitor,” on March 13.

Meanwhile, Sam’s residency in San Francisco concludes March 14.

How Lauren Alaina’s husband laid the groundwork for her hit duet

March 6, 2026 by WDNY Radio

Lauren Alaina’s duet partner in life, Cam Arnold, is responsible for her duet partner on her latest hit, “All My Exes” with Chase Matthew.

“He is the best. I love that guy so much,” Lauren says of the “Darlin'” hitmaker. “My husband is the reason I have the duet with him, which is hilarious.”

“Cameron played him that song when we were on tour last year,” she continues. “First of all, the song is called ‘All My Exes,’ and it’s my husband’s favorite song of mine. I’m like, ‘I write you songs all the time, Cameron. Why is this one your favorite?’ But he just believed in the song, and said that he thought it was a hit and something that I needed to put out. And he went behind my back and played it for Chase, and then Chase loved it.”

It’s worth noting Lauren has a pretty good track record when it comes to collaborations. “What Ifs” with Kane Brown, and “One Beer” with HARDY and Devin Dawson both made it to #1.
