Billy Idol is revisiting one of his classic hits.
Idol and his longtime collaborator Steve Stevens have recorded a new take on “White Wedding,” recorded at Apple Music Studios in Los Angeles.
“We were really just making the song for that moment,” Idol says in a clip posted to Instagram, “but we did have in the back of our minds, we could create songs that somehow could last into the future, well that would be added bonus and look what happened, it did.”
Originally released in 1982, “White Wedding” appeared on Idol’s self-titled debut album. While it peaked at #36 on the Billboard Hot 100, the song went on to be one of Idol’s signature tunes.
Idol is set to kick off a new leg of his It’s A Nice Day To…Tour Again! tour on Aug. 7 in Scranton, Pennsylvania. The tour name is a reference to the chorus of “White Wedding.”
Idol and Stevens are both set to be inducted into the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame this year. The 2026 induction ceremony will take place Nov. 14 in Los Angeles. It will air on ABC and stream on Disney+ in December.

Shania Twain missed Taylor Swift’s wedding and it’s all Harry Styles’ fault.
Shania tells Canada’s eTalk that opening for Harry — who coincidentally happens to be Taylor’s ex-boyfriend — prevented her from attending Taylor and Travis Kelce’s nuptials at Madison Square Garden on July 3.
“Taylor Swift invited me to her wedding,” Shania said. “I couldn’t go because I was already committed to Harry’s shows. So that’s why I say that, it’s just kind of funny that that happened that way.”
She was opening for Harry during his record-breaking Together, Together shows at London’s Wembley Stadium that weekend.
Shania said she would have “done anything to be at Taylor’s wedding … that would have been really lovely for me to be there.”
“But I was with Harry, so that’s why I’m saying if Harry ever gets married and he wants me at his wedding … he’s going to have to ask me more in advance,” she joked.

Issa Rae is reuniting with members of the Insecure cast to celebrate the 10-year anniversary of the HBO series.
Insecure, which ran for five seasons from 2016 to 2021, follows Issa Dee (Issa Rae) and Molly Carter (Yvonne Orji), “two modern-day Black women and all of their tribulations,” as per HBO Max.
According to a press release, Insecure: The 10th Anniversary Tour will bring Issa and showrunner Prentice Penny together for “candid conversations, untold stories and unforgettable moments.” They’ll be joined by Yvonne, Jay Ellis and Natasha Rothwell on select dates.
The tour was announced on Instagram with a video that opens with Issa and Prentice seemingly wrapping up a recording session. As they scroll through their phones, Prentice randomly asks Issa if she’d be interested in going on tour.
“Yeah, OK,” Issa replies.
“Cool,” Prentice responds. “I mean … bool.”
The video then shifts to a group chat with the cast. Issa begins the thread, writing, “It’s been 10 years! Insecure tour?”
“I am so down for this!” Jay replies, while Yvonne adds, “Oh I’ve BEEN waiting.”
Natasha then chimes in, writing, “You know what this?” before sending a GIF that reads, “Growth.”
The clip then cuts to the four cast members, with Yvonne saying, “It’s Insecure, but we’re very secure now.”
“Come see us on tour,” Issa says. The video ends with a poster displaying the tour dates and cities.
The Insecure tour kicks off Sept. 10 at The Met in Philadelphia and wraps Oct. 8 at YouTube Theater in Inglewood.
A Citi presale begins Wednesday at noon local time, with additional presales scheduled throughout the week.
Tickets go on sale to the general public Thursday at noon local time via Livenation.com.

The colorful bus from Kenny Chesney’s “American Kids” video and the cover of The Big Revival album will be on display in Nashville the opening weekend of his new exhibit at the Country Music Hall of Fame and Museum.
The “American Kids” Bus Pop-Up Experience will take place in Walk of Fame Park, right across from the Hall, from Wednesday, July 22, through Sunday, July 26.
The exhibit Kenny Chesney: Living in Fast Forward opens on July 23 and runs through June 2027.
Kenny and his friends hand-painted the bus back in 2014 for the video and album cover. There’ll be photo ops in the park, prizes and games, all free and open to the public as part of the pop-up.
You’ll also be able to print your own poster from Hatch Show Print. On opening day, museum visitors will be able to design their own paper version of the bus in the Taylor Swift Education Center.
Queens of the Stone Age have released a new song called “Easy Street.”
You may recognize the track if you caught Josh Homme and company on their Catacombs tour, during which they first premiered “Easy Street” live in 2025.
The official studio version has now arrived and features guest vocals from Nikki Lane.
“It’s kind of a funny song. It’s like hitting your funny bone, where it’s funny because it hurts and it hurts because it’s funny. You’re serious, but it’s funny,” Homme says in a statement. “We made it the way you’d make a demo. No click track, mistakes left in. It speeds up, it slows down, the claps aren’t great, but they’re not bad, and a bad clap adds this human thing you can’t fake.”
“It’s not just about silliness,” Homme adds. “It’s about understanding the imperfection of your life. The song, like your life, is in the mistakes. Its imperfections are unbeatable.”
You can watch the “Easy Street” video streaming on YouTube.
“Easy Street” follows QotSA’s 2023 album, In Times New Roman…
Queens of the Stone Age are currently on tour in Europe with System of a Down. They’ll be touring the U.S. with Foo Fighters starting in August.
Homme, meanwhile, recently released collaborations with Mastodon and Shania Twain.

Kehlani is taking a brief break from preparing for her upcoming tour after undergoing surgery to address a sinus issue.
She shared a post from her Instagram burner account, @sidequestshawtyyy, to her public Instagram Story, explaining the reason for the procedure.
“THIS IS NOT A NOSE JOB! lmao,” she began the caption of the post, which sees her with gauze taped beneath her nose. “so turns out for the last 7 years or so my nasal canal has been 98% blocked by my swollen turbinates, a deviated septum & a clogged right half of the sinus system.”
“the doctor said she don’t even know how i been singing forreal. mouth breather a**,” she added. “today i fixed it! i feel like i got punched in the face.”
Kehlani said she will have “some days of down time” before returning to rehearsals for her upcoming tour.
“IM FINNA BE ABLE TO BREATHE YALL FRIDAY HURRY UP,” she wrote.
In her burner account’s Story, she described the first night post-surgery as “terrible.” “I’m choking, can’t breathe at all..just a bloody blocked up mess. dry a** mouth,” she wrote.
Despite the recovery process, Kehlani said she’s excited about the advantages.
“i used to have to constantly cancel things because i was getting back to back to back sinus infections and everybody was cussing me out,” she wrote, “but im finally about to go on my first tour with no breathing issues! oh I can’t WAIT.”
Kehlani’s Kehlani World Tour kicks off in August. She’ll be joined by special guests Durand Bernarr, Isaia Huron, TheArti$t and Waseel.
