The Struts are releasing a new version of their breakout hit “Could Have Been Me” featuring Queen guitarist Brian May.

The updated track is due out Sept. 3. You can presave it now and check out a teaser video streaming on YouTube.

If you’ve heard the original “Could Have Been Me,” or any other Struts song, then you already know that The Struts are deeply influenced by Queen. So it probably shouldn’t come as a surprise that frontman Luke Spiller is “absolutely ecstatic” about collaborating with May, who he calls his “hero.”

“This song is all about seizing your dreams and living life to the fullest, no matter the obstacles,” Spiller says. “It’s a powerful anthem that reminds us to chase what sets our souls on fire. Collaborating with Brian on this track is a dream realized, and I can’t wait for you all to feel the energy and inspiration behind it.”

“Working with Luke and The Struts has been a joyous journey for me,” May adds. “I became obsessed with this great song ever since I was inspired by the original version and felt an uncontrollable urge to mess with it! It carries a great positive message for rebellious kids of all ages. And, together, WE ROCK!!”

“Could Have Been Me” was released in 2013 in The Struts’ native U.K. before it became a hit in the U.S. in 2015 and appears on the band’s debut album, Everybody Wants. It was later featured in the 2021 animated movie Sing 2.

The Struts are currently touring the U.S. celebrating the 10th anniversary of Everybody Wants.

The rapper has announced Wunna Run, a race taking place at Brooklyn’s Prospect Park. It will see attendees running nearly “one full loop around the park with a sprint up Center Drive,” according to the run’s website.

The race is set to go down Sept. 3 at 6 p.m. ET; there were no fees required to participate. Runners, however, were given the option upon registration to donate to Gunna’s Great Giveaway Foundation.

“Yo, what’s up? Gunna. September the 3rd, New York, I need everyone to meet me and the Wunna Run club. We doing a 5K,” he said in a video taken in the gym. “September the 3rd. Get there, let’s go.”

The event has since reached its capacity.

Ghost has announced a vinyl reissue of their 2015 album Meliora in honor of its 10th anniversary.

The double-LP is due out Oct. 17 and is available to preorder now.

Meliora is Ghost’s third studio album. It marked their international breakthrough thanks in part to the lead single “Cirice,” which became the Swedish band’s first song to chart on the Billboard Mainstream Rock Airplay ranking. The album debuted at a then-career-high of #8 on the Billboard 200 and also spawned the single “From the Pinnacle to the Pit.”

At the time, frontman Tobias Forge was still anonymous behind his Papa Emeritus characters. Forge’s identity was revealed in 2017.

Ghost’s most recent album is Skeletá, which was released in April and debuted at #1 on the Billboard 200.

If you’re hoping to see Garbage live, this may be your last chance.

The “I Think I’m Paranoid” rockers say that their upcoming trek launching Sept. 3 in Orlando, Florida, will mark “our last North American headline tour.”

“We haven’t played an extensive headline tour like this one in the States for almost a decade,” reads a post on Garbage’s Instagram. “If the truth be told, it is unlikely we will play many of the cities on this tour ever again.”

“We are going out in style and we hope you will join us,” Shirley Manson and company continue. “That’s life my friends. Nothing stays the same forever. Everything must change. All beautiful things come to an end. We love you.”

Garbage’s tour supports their new album, Let All That We Imagine Be the Light, which was released in May. The U.S. leg concludes Nov. 5 in Los Angeles.
