Ziggy Marley says new book was inspired by father Bob Marley’s energy + song ‘Jamming’

July 8, 2025 by WDNY Radio

Bob Marley‘s legacy continues through a book that was inspired by his energy. Pajammin‘ by his son Ziggy Marley is about a pajama party where screen time is limited and quality time with family is celebrated. It includes iconic lyrics from Bob’s song “Jamming,” giving parents the option to read or sing it to their kids.

“It’s the only book I’ve done that was influenced by him,” Ziggy tells People of the book. “The energy behind it is the same kind of energy my father had. So it’s a first of its kind.”

Now available where books are sold, Pajammin’ is one of the ways Ziggy has honored his father, who would have been celebrating his 80th birthday in 2025. Ziggy says he and his family plan to commemorate Bob’s milestone birthday with the rerelease of the doc Bob Marley: One Love.

July 7, 2025 by WDNY Radio

Fall Out Boy guitarist Joe Trohman is dropping off the band’s upcoming tour dates to undergo surgery on his hand.

“After years of managing ongoing issues with my right hand, it’s become clear that I need surgery to avoid permanent damage,” Trohman writes in an Instagram post. “Unfortunately, this means I’ll have to take the rest of the year off from playing with the band. The silver lining is that I’m on track for a full recovery.”

Trohman adds that Fall Out Boy will still be playing all of their scheduled shows and that he’s “looking forward to recovering so I can get back out there with the guys.”

Fall Out Boy’s upcoming dates include the Minnesota Yacht Club and Oceans Calling festivals, along with shows in Canada, Japan and Brazil.

Trohman previously announced in 2023 that he was taking a break from Fall Out Boy due to his mental health. He returned to the band later that year.

Lewis Capaldi says new EP will ‘reflect the last two years in the best way possible’

July 7, 2025 by WDNY Radio

Lewis Capaldi has more new music on the way.

After releasing his comeback song “Survive” and seeing it go to #1 in the U.K., the Scottish singer tells ABC Audio a new EP is next and an album will follow.

“I kind of wanted the EP to reflect the last two years in the best way possible, so there’s like a song on there that’s like maybe the most — even more personal than ‘Survive,’ that I really love,” he says.

Lewis made his return to the stage at Glastonbury in June after taking a break in 2023 to focus on his mental health. He’s since joined Noah Kahan onstage at BST Hyde Park in London Friday and performed on Good Morning America’s Summer Concert Series on Monday. Lewis has also announced tour dates for the U.K., Ireland, Australia and New Zealand.

As for a full-length album, fans will have to wait until next year for that. Lewis says he has yet to write it.

“For the album next year, I don’t know what it’s going to sound like or anything like that,” he says. “I’d imagine it’ll sound quite the same [as previous music], I’m a bit of a one-trick pony, so I imagine it’ll sound pretty similar.”

Beverly Hills Mayor Sharona Nazarian also declared July 7, 2025, Ringo Starr Day in Beverly Hills.

“Ringo today we celebrate you, your music, your spirit and your message of peace and love that echoes far beyond the stage, and today, quite literally into space,” she said. “In a world that feels so divided, how beautiful that we can come together right now to celebrate peace, love and Ringo Starr.”

In accepting the honor, the Beatles legend said, “You know I lived in Admiral Grove in Liverpool, you couldn’t dream of ending up here. … I did end up in a good band, though.”

“I love it here. I love the people. I love the attitude and the peace and love that’s shown in this state is incredible,” he noted.

And speaking of Ringo’s birthday, Paul McCartney took to social media with a birthday message for his Beatles bandmate.

“A very happy birthday to my dear friend, Ringo (or should I say, Sir Richard),” he wrote next to a throwback photo of them together. “I hope you have a wonderful day full of love.”
