Joe Jonas’ latest solo song will take you down on the farm.

“The Cozy Anthem” was created especially for the mobile farming game Hay Day and is now playing across every farm in the game. It’s based on the game’s theme tune, which Joe has turned into a full-fledged song. The unveiling of the song marks the start of a two-week virtual music festival in the game, which Joe will headline.

Players will also be able to create their own versions of the song and download decorations inspired by the song, including an in-game jukebox.  

“With everything I’ve got going on, it’s not always easy to find a moment to disconnect. Hay Day has become one of those little escapes where I can relax, have fun, and recharge,” Joe says in a statement. “There’s something strangely satisfying about checking on your farm before checking your emails.”

But Joe isn’t the only Jonas Brother doing something solo. Nick Jonas will perform on the upcoming special Disney Celebrates America: Nashville’s Star-Spangled Bash, which airs live July 4 on ABC and multiple streaming channels. Other performers on the special include Boyz II Men, Lauren Daigle, The All-American Rejects, NE-YO, and country stars Reba McEntire and Tim McGraw.

Disney is the parent company of ABC News.

Kenny Chesney was officially inducted into the Country Music Hall of Fame in 2025, and in 2026 he’ll get his own exhibit. 

Kenny Chesney: Living in Fast Forward is set to open July 23 at the Country Music Hall of Fame & Museum.

“When you’re so busy living life – literally in fast forward – you rarely pause to think about all the miles traveled, the faces you’ve met along the way,” Kenny says. “Trying to decide what things to send to the Country Music Hall of Fame and Museum that represent a whole lot of dreams, living, songs, the work and things you don’t dare imagine was as hard as anything I’ve ever done.”

“But in the end,” he continues, “I feel like every piece of who I am is represented – and I hope that for someone who’s thinking about chasing their own crazy dreams, this may be the spark to get them on their way.”

The artifacts Kenny delivered may make it seem like a trip to Mecca for members of his devoted No Shoes Nation: There’s the varsity jacket and jersey he wore in the mid-’80s while playing football as one of the Gibbs High School Eagles, as well as the guitar he played in college at East Tennessee State University.

The mythic “Old Blue Chair” that’s inspired so much in Kenny’s career will also be on display. 

Kenny Chesney: Living in Fast Forward will run through June 2027.

Fresh off his FIFA World Cup performance with Tyla, Future has announced that a new album is on the way. Taking to his Instagram Story on Monday, he posted a graphic featuring the words “Future The Real Me” in black against a red background. The image, now his profile picture on the platform, has also appeared on Spotify billboards.

Future then confirmed The Real Me is indeed the title of his upcoming album, writing on X, “Album title: THE REAL ME.”

The project will mark Future’s first full-length release since teaming with Metro Boomin in 2024 for We Don’t Trust You and its sequel, We Still Don’t Trust You.

Although he hasn’t released a solo project since then, Future has been active musically. He appears on Drake’s “Ran to Atlanta” from Iceman and is featured with Tyla on the FIFA World Cup 2026 anthem, “Game Time.” The two debuted the song live at SoFi Stadium during the United States’ opening ceremony for the World Cup.

If you want it all, all being a Faith No More reunion, then it appears you might actually be able to have it.

The long-dormant “Epic” rockers, who haven’t performed live since 2016, have fans speculating about a possible comeback after a posting an image to Instagram featuring the year 2027 and the FNM logo superimposed over a photo of a crowd.

Faith No More had been set to return to the live stage in 2021 for a run of shows that were later canceled due to frontman Mike Patton dealing with mental health issues. In a 2022 Rolling Stone interview, Patton shared that he’d been diagnosed with the anxiety disorder agoraphobia.

While Patton returned to the road with his project Mr. Bungle, Faith No More stayed inactive. In the Rolling Stone piece, Patton said the tour cancellation led to “broken feelings on both sides,” and keyboardist Roddy Bottum said in 2024 that the band was on “semi permanent hiatus.”

In separate 2025 interviews, drummer Mike Bordin said he felt Patton demonstrated that he was “unwilling to do shows with us,” while Bottum said he doesn’t “think anyone’s sort of up for [a reunion] at this point.”

We’ll see if this new teaser means that the Faith No More members have changed their minds. In the meantime, Patton has been playing select Faith No More songs on tour with AVTT/PTTN, his collaboration with the folk band The Avett Brothers.

Jelly Roll and Bunnie Xo are calling it quits.

The singer-songwriter, born Jason Bradley DeFord, filed for divorce from the podcast host, born Alisa Andrea DeFord, on May 18 after nearly 10 years of marriage, according to court documents filed in Williamson County, Tennessee, last month.

The court documents were filed May 18 and cite “irreconcilable differences” as the reason for the split.

The pair initially tied the knot in August 2016 in Las Vegas. They returned to Las Vegas in 2023 to renew their vows.

The “Need a Favor” singer and his wife have spoken publicly about their marriage over the years, sharing details about their relationship on social media, including its ups and downs.

In March, Bunnie Xo sat down with Nightline anchor Juju Chang to discuss her memoir, Stripped Down, and opened up about the pair’s first few years as a married couple, including her decision to continue working as a sex worker during that time.

“I fell in love with my husband because he treated me like no other man had,” she said at the time. “He never used my job against me. He never shamed me for it. He just loved me.”

She also said the pair were able to overcome infidelity early on in their relationship, which Jelly Roll has acknowledged publicly and expressed regret about.

“Everybody thinks I just got back together with him and forgave him,” she said. “No. We had to really do the work. We are going to wake up and choose each other. Even on days I don’t like you, I’m still gonna choose you.”

The two also previously opened up about their experience with in vitro fertilization.

In June 2024, Bunnie Xo wrote on Instagram that the couple had met with “IVF doctors” and were “exploring all our options to add to our family.”

“We had planned on doing this privately, but decided our ivf journey needed to be shared because we’ve always been so open,” she said at the time, sharing a clip of her husband discussing parenthood in a podcast interview.

The estranged couple have no children together. Jelly Roll is the father of two children from separate relationships, a daughter named Bailee Ann and a son named Noah Buddy.

ABC News has reached out to representatives for Jelly Roll and Bunnie Xo for comment.

The Wu-Tang Clan and New York Knicks shared the spotlight once again, this time on The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon.

While the entire group wasn’t on hand for the Tonight Show performance, members RZA, Ghostface Killah, Method Man, Raekwon, Cappadonna and Young Dirty Bastard — the son of the late Ol’ Dirty Bastard — performed a medley of “Bring Da Ruckus” and “C.R.E.A.M.” from their 1993 debut album, Enter The Wu-Tang (36 Chambers). Throughout the set they gave shoutouts to New York and rocked their Knicks gear.

This performance was part of the episode in which the newly crowned NBA champs crashed Fallon’s monologue. Loyal Knicks fan Spike Lee introduced the team to the audience, and the players came out as The Roots played “We Are the Champions” and Knicks-colored confetti rained down. Finals MVP Jalen Brunson made sure to bring out the Larry O’Brien Trophy.

The appearance was part of the celebration surrounding the Knicks’ victory over the San Antonio Spurs, which marked their first championship win in 53 years — a feat Method Man predicted during Wu-Tang’s halftime performance at Game 4. They brought the trophy home the following game.

The Knicks are scheduled to celebrate with a parade in New York City Thursday. 

Meanwhile, Wu-Tang Clan will resume their Final Chamber tour in August, before being inducted into the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame in November.

Daughtry has announced an acoustic tour celebrating the band’s 20th anniversary.

The trek, dubbed 20 Years Unplugged, kicks off Oct. 12 in Troy, New York, and wraps up Nov. 14 in Dallas.

“The tour will pull the band’s music into a more raw and immediate space, where the weight of a lyric, the scrape of a guitar string, and the quiet before a chorus can hit as hard as the full-band impact,” a press release reads.

Presales begin Wednesday at 10 a.m. local time, and tickets go on sale to the general public on Friday at 10 a.m. local time.

For the full list of dates and all ticket info, visit DaughtryOfficial.com.

Daughtry formed in 2006 following frontman Chris Daughtry’s stint on American Idol. The band’s most recent release is their SHOCK TO THE SYSTEM album, which was released as two EPs over 2024 and 2025.

Johnny Marr has announced a new album called The Age of Everything. 

The fifth solo effort from the former Smiths guitarist is due out Oct. 2. It’s the follow-up to 2022’s Fever Dreams Pts 1-4.

“This is the record that’s been the most cathartic,” Marr says in a statement. “The title came to me early in the process and became an inescapable idea. It seemed to sum up the way I think a lot of people are feeling. It’s all encompassing, but it’s not necessarily a negative statement.”

He adds, “There’s a sense of overwhelm in the culture brought about by technology, but looking at it with a different light, there could also be a sense of possibility.”

The album’s first single is called “Spin” and is out now.

Here’s the track list for The Age of Everything:

“Spin”
“Beyond the Rain”
“It’s Time”
“How Come”
“Ophelia”
“That Feeling”
“In and Out of Love”
“Just Once More”
“Fire with Fire”
“All in a Life”
