July 29, 2026 by WDNY Radio

Ozzy Osbourne will be haunting Universal Studios this spooky season.

The theme park has announced an attraction inspired by the late Prince of Darkness as part of the 2026 edition of its annual Halloween Horror Nights program.

“It’s not just Ozzy’s heavy metal hits that will haunt you,” a description reads. “Bow at the throne of the Prince of Darkness in this haunted house inspired by the twisted mind of one of rock ‘n’ roll’s greatest legends.”

“[Ozzy’s] music throughout every room is at the heart of it all,” Sharon Osbourne tells EW of the attraction. “Fans will also see scenes inspired by Ozzy’s journey, from his early days as a little boy growing up in Birmingham, England, riding the train to and from London, to the iconic imagery and characters from across his career.”

Halloween Horror Nights will be open Aug. 28 to Nov. 1 at Universal’s Orlando location and Sept. 3 to Nov. 1 at Universal Studios Hollywood in Los Angeles.

Zara Larsson repays the ‘Girls Trip’ favor, jumps on Robyn remix

July 29, 2026 by WDNY Radio

When Zara Larsson released Midnight Sun: Girls Trip, she said getting Swedish pop icon Robyn to appear on the remix of the track “Puss Puss” was “probably the biggest thing that I’ve ever done in my very long career.” Now she’s teamed up with the “Dancing on My Own” singer again.

Robyn has released a remix of the song “Talk to Me,” which appears on her most recent album, Sexistential. It’s now retitled “Talk to Me, Zara” to reflect the fact that Zara is featured on it. Robyn wrote on Instagram, “Thanks for blessing this h*rny track with your swagger and your powerhouse vocals @zaralarsson. Your voice can raise anyone’s heartbeat.”

Zara wrote in the comments, “Min queeeeeeen” — “min” is the Swedish word for “my.” A video for the song shows Zara and the “Show Me Love” star performing the remix together live onstage for the first time on July 14 in Copenhagen. They also performed “Puss Puss” together that night.

Zara shared Robyn’s post to her Instagram Story, featuring a photo of them posing together. Zara looks like she just came back from the beach and forgot to wear sunscreen. She joked in the caption, “Maybe I kept my spray tan on for an hour too long … but besides that I’m so happy ‘talk to me remix’ is out!!! Go listen!!!”

Honest Woman features her current single, “If I Don’t Leave I’m Gonna Stay” with Riley Green.

Jon Bon Jovi reflects on ‘imperfectly perfect’ MSG Forever Tour shows

July 29, 2026 by WDNY Radio

Bon Jovi wrapped their nine-show Forever Tour stint at New York’s Madison Square Garden on Sunday, and frontman Jon Bon Jovi is reflecting on what he calls the “imperfectly perfect” experience.

The shows were the band’s first since 2022 and the first since Jon underwent vocal cord surgery that same year.

“First, I can not thank you all enough for your friendship, your kindness and your support,” Jon writes on Instagram. “We all shared in a very special experience, something unique to this moment but that’s been building for a decade.”

“Second, I woke up thinking these two words, IMPERFECTLY PERFECT. 9 nights, it was beautiful. It was real, it was human,” he continues. “I looked at each of my bandmates and at as many of you as I could see and I felt that resonance. That connection that can’t be described or felt unless it was experienced in person – to be written about or viewed. I know what happened. If you were there, so do you. It was special.”

“I’ll sleep tonight knowing that a decade of our journey, the highs and the lows, led me to these 9 nights,” he adds. “My reward is that I know I get to shine a light on so many people. All human in their existence, all just looking to find something in common, some connection… I know what it is. It’s light, it’s love. Imperfectly perfect… And I have figured out that somehow I’m lucky enough to still work here.”

Jon ends the post, “I couldn’t be more grateful.”

Bon Jovi next brings their Forever Tour to Edinburgh, Scotland, on Aug. 28. After a show in Dublin on Aug. 30, the tour wraps with three nights at London’s Wembley Stadium Sept. 4-9.

“One by One (Bright-Side Remix)” is available now via digital outlets.

As he did with his 2023 album i/o, Gabriel is releasing a new song from o/i with each full moon of the year. The entire album will be released by the end of 2026, along with Dark-Side and Bright-Side mixes handled by Tchad Blake and Mark “Spike” Stent, respectively.

Noah Kahan reacts to White House using his music on social media

July 29, 2026 by WDNY Radio

Noah Kahan is the latest musician to express his displeasure over the White House’s use of his music in a social media post.

The administration posted video and photos on Instagram and TikTok documenting President Donald Trump’s visit to an auto plant in Michigan to promote U.S.-made cars. The posts were set to Noah’s song “American Cars,” from his current album, The Great Divide.

Noah commented on the Instagram post — on which the music seems to have been disabled — “Would never approve of my music being used in support of you or this administration.” His comment had received close to 33,000 likes at press time. The music is still part of the TikTok post.

The co-writer of “American Cars,” Noah Levine, wrote in an Instagram comment that has since been deleted but was captured by fans, “You fat f*** this song isn’t for you.”

As in other instances of musicians complaining about their music being used in this way, the White House has doubled down: Kaelan Dorr, deputy assistant to the president, reposted a story about Noah Kahan’s comment and wrote, “Symptoms of [Trump Derangement Syndrome] apparently include having a northern attitude.”

Other musicians who’ve spoken out over the use of their music by the Trump administration without permission in social media videos and on the campaign trail include Foo Fighters, Guns N’ Roses, Jack White, Katy Perry, Ariana Grande, Neil Young, Olivia Rodrigo, Rihanna, Adele, Beyoncé and the late Ozzy Osbourne.
