The Rolling Stones are giving fans a preview of the upcoming super-deluxe reissue of their 1976 album Black and Blue.

The band just shared a video of a performance of “Fool to Cry” from an unreleased TV broadcast of their 1976 concert at Les Abattoirs in Paris, which is part of a Blu-ray included in the set.

According to a post on Instagram, the performance is “a rare glimpse into the Black and Blue era.”

The five-LP or four-CD super-deluxe Black and Blue box set, dropping Nov. 14, includes a 2025 remix of the album by producer Steven Wilson, along with an album of outtakes and jams. It also includes a recording of a 1976 concert at Earls Court in London, which was part of a six-night residency at the venue.

The Blu-ray that comes with both versions includes the Paris concert, as well as the Wilson remix and the Earls Court concert in Dolby Atmos. The set also includes a 100-page hardcover book and replica tour poster.

The Black and Blue reissue will also be released in a variety of other formats, including a limited-edition five-LP black and blue marbled vinyl set; two-disc and one-disc formats on both vinyl and CD; and a limited-edition zoetrope vinyl.

Released in April 1976, Black and Blue was The Stones’ 13th studio album and the first since guitarist Mick Taylor left the group. His eventual replacement, Ronnie Wood, is featured on three songs.

Where there’s ‘Smoke,’ there’s Alabama natives Riley Green & Jamey Johnson

Riley Green and Jamey Johnson are teaming up to blow a little “Smoke.”

While the new song was Riley’s idea, it was Jamey who headed to the studio to record it.

“I called and said, ‘Hey, where are you? I just recorded it,’” Jamey recalls. “If he was thinking about recording it and putting it on his record, I guess I ruined that!”

“My apologies to Riley Green,” he jokes.

With Riley stepping up to sing a verse, it’s safe to assume he wasn’t too upset.

“Writing this song with Jamey was a lot of fun,” Riley says. “After spending time on the road together earlier this year, it just felt natural to get in the studio and make some country music together.”

The two Alabama natives seem to have a built-in camaraderie, having both attended Jacksonville State University. 

“There’s a natural connection with us there,” Jamey says. “I was immediately impressed with his writing and singing.”

The two will have quite a few chances to sing “Smoke” on the road, as Jamey joins Riley for nine dates on his Damn Country Music Tour, spanning from Nov. 6 to Nov. 22.

Portugal. The Man has released a cover of “Golden,” the hit song off the soundtrack to the film KPop Demon Hunters.

As its title suggests, KPop Demon Hunters follows the members of a K-pop group called HUNTR/X who also hunt demons. Following the film’s premiere on Netflix in June, “Golden” hit #1 on the all-genre Billboard Hot 100.

“I’ve recently fallen deep into K-pop — big fan of [K-pop group] TWICE and others,” says PTM frontman John Gourley. “But once ‘Golden’ found its way into my dreams, it was inescapable.”

Gourley continues, “I’ve sung this song a thousand times with our daughter and always loved the idea of breaking it down with an acoustic guitar and strings. It’s just such a beautiful arrangement.”

You can listen to Portugal. The Man’s “Golden” cover exclusively via Amazon Music.

Portugal. The Man will release a new album, SHISH, on Nov. 7.

The cast for American Horror Story season 13 has been revealed, and it features some familiar faces.

Ryan Murphy announced the cast of the 13th season of the horror series on Friday, which just so happened to be Halloween.

Ariana Grande has been cast in the new season of the FX anthology series, marking her reunion with Murphy after appearing in his comedy series Scream Queens a decade ago.

The lucky number 13th season of the show will feature franchise regulars Jessica Lange, Sarah Paulson, Evan Peters, Angela Bassett, Kathy Bates, Emma Roberts, Billie Lourd, Gabourey Sidibe and Leslie Grossman.

This season marks a Scream Queens reunion, as both Roberts and Lourd acted alongside Grande in the comedy show.

Murphy made the casting announcement through a video shared to his Instagram. The video featured a black screen with the cast’s names appearing in the signature American Horror Story font.

After all of the names were announced, the video referenced one of the most quoted lines of dialogue from the series, spoken by Roberts’ character Madison Montgomery in American Horror Story: Coven.

“Surprise, b****. I bet you thought you’d seen the last of me,” the video reads.

The video ends by telling fans they can expect the 13th season on Halloween in 2026.

Hear Warren Zeiders cover ‘How Great Thou Art’

Though he’s best known for his hit “Pretty Little Poison,” Warren Zeiders seems to be focused on spiritual matters these days. 

In September he put out “Only Bible,” which he co-wrote. Now, he’s back with a cover of a classic.

‘How Great Thou Art’ has always been my favorite [hymn]. It was one of those songs that always brought tears to my eyes,” Warren says. “This song was my grandmother’s and my dad’s favorite, and also my grandfather’s—the one I never got to meet, since he passed away before I was born.”

For Warren, “How Great Thou Art” means something special as the holidays approach. 

“It holds so much meaning for me, and in the true spirit of Christmas, I wanted to record and share my version,” he explains. “When I got the first recording back, I had the blessing of playing it for my mom, dad, sister, and grandparents. Seeing all of us tear up together, I knew this song would touch hearts and connect with people in the way God intends.”

Warren continues on his Relapse, Lies & Betrayal tour, which wraps Nov. 22 with a sold-out arena show in his hometown of Hershey, Pennsylvania.

Ed Sheeran spent some time clowning around New York City this Halloween.

The singer dressed up as Pennywise, the scary ginger-haired clown from Stephen King’s It, and posted a series of photos and videos of himself doing mundane things in the costume.

We see Ed holding the character’s signature red balloon as he sips coffee in a coffee shop, eats pizza on a bench, enjoys beer at a bar and waves to some children while walking down the street.

In one video, we get a time-lapse of Ed getting the clown’s wig and prosthetics applied.

“In for a Penny,” he captioned the post.

Last Halloween, Ed dressed up like his own meme – an AI-generated image of him as a monkey that was circulating the internet. “Haters will say its AI #halloweenbruv #feltcutemightdeletelater,” Ed captioned his photo of the costume.

We now know the actresses who will play the love interests of The Beatles in the upcoming four-film cinematic event centered on the iconic band.

Sony Pictures has announced that Saoirse Ronan, Mia McKenna-Bruce, Anna Sawai and Aimee Lou Wood will play Linda Eastman, Maureen Cox, Yoko Ono and Pattie Boyd in the films directed by Sam Mendes.

“Maureen, Linda, Yoko and Pattie are four fascinating and unique figures in their own right – and I’m thrilled that we’ve managed to persuade four of the most talented women working in film today to join this amazing adventure,” Mendes said in a press release.

The Beatles films will star Harris Dickinson, Paul Mescal, Joseph Quinn and Barry Keoghan. The project marks the first time Apple Corps Ltd. and The Beatles — John Lennon, Paul McCartney, George Harrison and Ringo Starr — have granted full life story and music rights for a scripted film about the band.

Mendes will direct four different films, each told from a different member of the band’s point of view. They will all intersect to tell the full story of the band’s history, according to the release.

All four of The Beatles films will arrive in theaters worldwide in April 2028.
