After his induction into the Country Music Hall of Fame, Kenny Chesney looked back on his life and career in a new CBS Sunday Morning profile promoting his upcoming book, Heart Life Music. 

The piece takes fans inside his residency at Sphere Las Vegas and to some of his favorite spots in Key West, Florida.  

“It’s amazing how much there is to say after all the hours we spent working on the book,” Kenny reflects. “But it’s a new way of looking at my music and my life; and I’m really excited to share it with people.”

“For anybody with a dream they don’t quite know how to make happen, this is for you,” he continues. “Because I was that guy, and looking back, I can’t believe everything that’s happened, the friends, the heroes, the dead-ends and breakthroughs. But really, it’s the courage to trust yourself – and use that to connect with people who need the music the same way I did.”

Heart Life Music hits bookstores Nov. 4.

Drew Baldridge officially becomes a “Rebel” as his new radio single drops on Friday. 

The “She’s Somebody’s Daughter” hitmaker turns the traditional idea of a rebel on its head with the new track. 

“I wrote this song after noticing how often the wrong things get glorified,” Drew says. “Doing the right thing can feel rebellious, and I hope fans – and my son – see that being a rebel here is actually a good thing. The song celebrates doing the right thing even when it’s not the ‘cool’ or easy choice.”

Drew’s currently touring Australia and New Zealand with Jelly Roll on the Down Under 2025 Tour.

Olivia Rodrigo‘s GUTS era is finally over, and fans have been working overtime to figure out what the singer’s next album will be called, assuming she’ll keep to the “one word with four letters” formula she’s used so far.  Well, Olivia’s seen your theories and she can definitively say that one of them isn’t true.

Speaking to Cosmopolitan, Olivia says, “I see a bunch of album title theories all the time, which is so fun. The latest one I saw was that it was going to be called CARD, and I was like, ‘Oh, that’s a fun idea, but definitely not going to be the case.’”

“But I love seeing people’s theories and them connecting all of these dots,” she adds. “It makes me happy that people care about the album enough to postulate and think about things.” Other fan theories posit that the album will be called KISS, LUCK or BURN. 

Asked if she ever sees ideas online that she likes enough to actually consider using, she says, “I totally do! People are so smart, and sometimes, I see something and I’m like, ‘Wow, that’s a really great idea.’ You guys are so creative. We should hire some of these girls on TikTok — they’re amazing.”

Cosmo also asked Liv what relationship advice she’d give to her younger self.

“I would’ve told 17-year-old me … that you really have to be yourself from the very beginning of the relationship,” she shares. “Back in the day, me and my friends would tailor our personalities to whatever person we liked at the time.”

“It just never works out — it leaves everyone feeling confused and sad,” she advises. “Be wholly, entirely yourself, even if you think it’s a little cringe. The right person won’t think it’s cringe.”

Fresh off the release of his new album, Caos, Miguel has announced he’s touring the project. His Caos Tour will see him play 41 dates across North America, the United Kingdom and Europe in 2026. The first show will take place Feb. 10 at the Coca-Cola Roxy in Atlanta, with the last scheduled for May 5 in Barcelona. Cities on the schedule include New York, LA, Chicago, Philadelphia, D.C., London, Paris, Berlin, Manchester and Milan. Special guest Jean Dawson will join Miguel for select dates, and Channel Tres will take the stage on March 13, the night of his LA show.

Tickets for the Caos Tour will first be sold via the Verizon presale, which kicks off Tuesday at 10 a.m. local time. The Seated and Mastercard presales start Wednesday at 10 a.m. local time, followed by the general sale Thursday at 10 a.m. local time. Fans can sign up for access to the Seated presale at officialmiguel.com.

Caos is Miguel’s first full-length studio project in eight years, following 2017’s War & Leisure. It explores “the conviction that rebuilding requires destruction, transmuting years of grief, desire, love, and identity into a vulnerable, uncompromising tour de force,” according to a press release. It’s said to be Miguel’s “clearest vision yet.”

Late former Mastodon guitarist Brent Hinds recorded an unreleased solo album before his death, according to his former bandmate Duane Trucks.

Trucks, who played in the band Fiend Without a Face with Hinds, tells Metal Hammer, “Brent’s got an entire album that hasn’t seen the light of day.”

“He sent me the whole album of tunes and it’s cool as s***,” Trucks says.

Hinds, a founding member of Mastodon, parted ways with the group in March. He died at age 51 in a motorcycle accident that occurred in August.

“You rarely meet someone with so many facets who does things in such an honest, vulnerable way,” Trucks says of Hinds. “He really f****** meant what he was playing. It was not a put-on. He wasn’t just doing this for a cheque.”
