New book highlighting George Harrison’s personal photos coming in October

February 27, 2026 by WDNY Radio

Fans of The Beatles are about to get a new look at the band from the point of view of George Harrison.

Random House is set to release the new book The Third Eye: Early Photographs in October, described as “the first ever collection of George Harrison’s personal photos taken between 1963 and 1970.”

The book will feature over 200 color and black-and-white images capturing the rise of The Beatles. The images, curated by Harrison’s widow, Olivia Harrison, were taken from the rocker’s personal photos and 8mm film stills.

According to the description, the photos give fans an “inside look at the human beings behind the Beatles, trying to hold onto themselves—and enjoy themselves—while standing at the center of the storm.”

The book will include essays by Olivia, as well as authors Colm Tóibín and George Saunders, and the photos will feature commentary, including never-before-seen quotes from George.

The Third Eye: Early Photographs will be released Oct. 6 in the U.S. and is available for preorder now. There will also be a deluxe edition coming later in the fall.

February 27, 2026 by WDNY Radio

If you can hardly wait for the premiere of Marshals on Sunday, you can check out a new song by its star now.

Singer, songwriter and actor Luke Grimes has just dropped “Haunted,” which appears in both the new CBS show and on his new album. His sophomore record, REDBIRD, is set to arrive April 3.

Marshals continues the story of Kayce Dutton, which began on Yellowstone, and will also mark the acting debut of Riley Green — something that grew out of his friendship with Luke.

Riley tells Entertainment Tonight he was already thinking about doing some acting when he happened to meet the star from the Taylor Sheridan universe.

“As he was starting his music career,” Riley recalls. “I was kind of trying to help him out in town, and we wrote some songs together and it was really just buddies talking … and he was like, ‘Maybe you should do some acting?'”

The 13-episode debut season of Marshals starts Sunday at 8 p.m. ET on CBS and Paramount+.

February 27, 2026 by WDNY Radio

Harry Styles’ new album, Kiss All the Time. Disco, Occasionally., isn’t out until March 6, but another artist has apparently given one of its tracks a surprise premiere.

According to fan-captured video and multiple reports, British producer and artist Fred Again played the song during his show at London’s Alexandria Palace on Thursday. The song is a string-drenched ballad in waltz time, in which Harry sings, “We sleep half the night with your head on my chest, me and you/ There’s only me and you.”

NME reports that fans who heard Harry’s album at the listening parties he held earlier in February have identified the song as “Coming Up Roses.”

Harry and Fred Again were seen together in London in 2024.

The only officially released song from Kiss All the Time… is “Aperture.” Harry will premiere his new music live for the first time Saturday at the BRIT Awards in London.

ABC Audio has reached out to Harry’s rep for comment.

Drowning Pool has released a new song in collaboration with the artist Sorry X.

The track, called “THE WRONG ONE,” came together after Sorry X put out a cover of Drowning Pool’s signature song, “Bodies.”

In other collaboration news, The Hu is featured on a new song called “Pray to the Sun.” The track was recorded with composers Sonya Belousova and Giona Ostinelli and singer Declan de Barra for the second season of the Netflix series One Piece.

Billy Idol isn’t upset about not getting into the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame the first time

February 27, 2026 by WDNY Radio

Billy Idol received his second nomination for the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame Wednesday. His first came last year, and he doesn’t sound too bent out of shape that he didn’t get in the first time around.

“I started to realize you don’t always get in on your first time; that’s quite unusual, I think,” Idol tells Billboard. “It’s a process, and I can see why.”

He notes, “There’s quite a large number of people involved in deciding who gets in. It’s no guarantee.”

And it certainly sounds like Idol is excited to get another chance at the Rock Hall.

“It’s fantastic. It’s really exciting. It would be incredible this year,” says Idol, who got his start in 1976 in the band Generation X. “This is 50 years ago when I started so it would be really incredible. It would cap off an amazing 50 years.”

Looking at fellow nominees like INXS, The Black Crowes, Joy Division/New Order and Oasis, Idol says, “[W]hoever gets in will be a fantastic class.”

“We were all kind of making our way towards really doing this forever,” he says. “It’s a serious thing we all believed in, that we really wanted to see where our generation would take music.” He adds, “I think with the punk and then the music in the [’80s], we really did establish what the sound of the [’80s] would be — and beyond.”

Billy Idol’s life and career are the subject of the new documentary Billy Idol Should Be Dead, which is in theaters now.

Nick Jonas’ new movie with Paul Rudd, ‘Power Ballad,’ premieres Sunday

February 27, 2026 by WDNY Radio

Power Ballad, the new movie starring Nick Jonas and Paul Rudd, will have its premiere Sunday on the closing night of the Dublin International Film Festival. Why there? Because the story is mostly set in Ireland and the film’s writer, director and producer, John Carney, is Irish.

According to the film’s official synopsis, Nick plays a “fading boy band star” named Danny, who meets Paul’s character, Rick, a “past-his-prime wedding singer,” during a gig. But after Danny turns one of Rick’s songs into his comeback hit, Rick is determined to get the “recognition he believes he deserves” from it.

The movie is described as a “feel-good story about music, self-respect, friendship, and the price of ambition.”

Power Ballad hits theaters June 5.

Nick will appear in another movie due to be released this year: the as-yet-untitled sequel to Jumanji: The Next Level. And in June he’s expected to begin filming another movie called Bodyman, about a bodyguard who stands to inherit his billionaire employer’s company, much to the dismay of the billionaire’s children.
