BTS’ label says Suga will ‘soon’ be discharged, as source claims reunion will come in March

June 18, 2025 by WDNY Radio

The long-awaited BTS reunion is one step closer to happening.

The group’s label, Big Hit, announced that Suga, the only member of the group who is in the middle of his mandatory national service, will “soon be discharged.” Due to a priory injury, Suga didn’t serve in the military; instead, his service is described as “Social Work Personnel.”

Earlier this month, Jungkook and Jimin were discharged from the military, following RM, V, Jin and J-Hope. The group went on hiatus in 2022 so that all seven members could complete their service.

Meanwhile, The Korea Herald says Suga’s discharge will come on June 21, and cites multiple sources as confirming that the group will return in full force in mid-March of 2026.

Jin is set to kick off a solo tour starting June 28. The tour will take him to nine cities through Aug. 10.

Watch the trailer for ‘Springsteen: Deliver Me From Nowhere’

June 18, 2025 by WDNY Radio

We are finally getting our first look at footage of Jeremy Allen White as Bruce Springsteen.

The trailer for Springsteen: Deliver Me From Nowhere has just been released. The film follows The Boss’ efforts to make his 1982 solo album Nebraska, and the trailer features footage of White recording songs on a four-track recorder in his bedroom, walking around Asbury Park, New Jersey, with a blonde woman, and more, ending with him triumphantly on stage singing “Born to Run.”

It also includes clips of Jeremy Strong as Bruce’s manager Jon Landau and in a voiceover Landau explains to a record executive why Bruce decided to make the record.

“Here’s what I want you to understand. This is not about either one of us. It’s not about the charts,” he says. “This is about Bruce Springsteen. And these are the songs he wants to work on right now.”

He then tells a story about how Bruce grew up with a hole in the floor of his bedroom, cut with flashbacks to Bruce as a child.

“The floor, it’s supposed to be solid. You’re supposed to be able to stand on it. Bruce, he didn’t have that,” Landau says. “Bruce is a repairman, and what he’s doing with this album, is he’s repairing that hole in his floor. He’s repairing that hole in himself. And once he’s done that, he’s gonna repair the entire world.”

The clip is soundtracked to the Springsteen songs “Nebraska” and “Born to Run.” White is doing his own singing in the film.

Springsteen: Deliver Me From Nowhere, directed by Scott Cooper, hits theaters Oct. 24.

Brian Kelley’s no Mad Scientist Monster, but he does have a new look + new momentum

June 18, 2025 by WDNY Radio

If you’ve seen Brian Kelley lately, you know he’s sporting a little more of a clean-cut vibe, thanks to both his wife and the weather.

“A little summer cut, man, just to switch it up, and the mustache kinda happened on accident,” he tells ABC Audio. “I will do a mustache at the end of every year, like once a year, unless I mess my beard up, which can also happen.”

“And so I did that, and it kinda stuck for a while,” he continues. “Then once Brittney said, ‘I like that,’ I go, ‘Oh, OK, well, might keep it around for a while.'”

Back in May, BK came close to winning season 13 of The Masked Singer, finishing in fourth place as the Mad Scientist Monster.

“It feels like we’ve got some really good momentum right now,” he says of his progress post Florida Georgia Line. “And it’s been awesome to kinda see people discover that it’s me and give me a chance, and see what I’m about and get to know me.”

Next up? A solo tour and a new album.

“I’m really excited about the tour. Sunshine State of Mind Tour starts in July and it’s my first headline tour in a couple years,” he points out. “And I’ve gotten a bunch of music out since the first tour. My catalog has grown so much in the last couple years that the set list for the live show is only getting better.”

“I think fans are getting to know me more,” he adds.

Sunshine State of Mind Season Two, Chapter One arrives Friday.

Rod Stewart would prefer to front The Rolling Stones over The Beatles

June 18, 2025 by WDNY Radio

In the ongoing debate of The Beatles versus The Rolling Stones, Rod Stewart has picked sides.

During an appearance on BBC Radio 2, Rod was asked by U.K. pop star Robbie Williams which of the two legendary bands he would choose to front if he could — and Rod didn’t have trouble deciding.

“Yeah, I would have liked to have fronted The Stones, you know, because they were a London band and we all loved them,” Stewart said. He noted members of his own band, Faces, were big fans of The Stones’ 1970 live album Get Yer Ya-Ya’s Out.

“It was a big influence with us when we used to go onstage,” he explained. “So definitely The Stones.”

That influence certainly seemed to help Rod’s Faces bandmate Ronnie Wood, who went on to become a member of The Stones.

Williams also asked Stewart to choose which other band from musical history he would want to front. He said that he “would have loved to have sung” with artists like Duke Ellington or Count Basie.

“Or maybe been the other half of Sam & Dave,” he added, referring to the famed R&B duo. “You know, Sam & Rod.”

Next up, Stewart is set to headline the Legends slot at the U.K.’s Glastonbury Festival on June 29. His tour returns to the U.S. on July 5 in Pittsburgh. A complete list of dates can be found at RodStewart.com.

John C. Reilly’s down to induct The White Stripes into Rock Hall: ‘I would do anything for Jack’

June 18, 2025 by WDNY Radio

After starring in a new Jack White video, actor John C. Reilly would be down to help welcome the “Seven Nation Army” rocker into the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame.

Asked if he’d like to induct White into the Rock Hall when The White Stripes are enshrined as part of the 2025 class, Reilly tells Vulture, “I would do anything for Jack.”

“I really believe in the quality that he represents in music and how much care and thought is put into every part of his enterprise,” Reilly says. “And, of course, he kicks major a**.”

The 2025 Rock Hall induction ceremony will take place Nov. 8 in Los Angeles. Other inductees include Soundgarden, Bad Company, Chubby Checker, Joe Cocker, Cyndi Lauper and Outkast.

As for the video Reilly stars in, that would be “Archbishop Harold Holmes,” a track off White’s latest solo album, No Name. When Reilly first heard the song, he suggested that White film a video for it and that he could play the titular archbishop. White was eventually convinced and gave Reilly his blessing to make whatever kind of video he wanted.

“Jack just flipped for it,” Reilly says. “He said, ‘This is the first video I haven’t had notes on since Michel Gondry did some of our White Stripes videos.’ We were psyched. I still can’t believe it came together the way it did.”

Gondry, known for films including Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind, directed the Stripes’ video for “Fell in Love with a Girl,” which recreated Jack and Meg White as Legos.

In addition to starring in his video and maybe possibly inducting him into the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame, Reilly acted with White in the movie Walk Hard, in which the latter had a cameo as Elvis Presley.

Scan an Oreo, hear a new Selena Gomez song

June 18, 2025 by WDNY Radio

Selena Gomez‘s new limited-edition Oreos are in stores now, but in addition to a glass of milk, you’ll need your smartphone to get the full experience.

Selena’s created a new remix of “I Can’t Get Enough,” a song that was originally released in 2019 and which later appeared on I Said I Love You First, her joint album with Benny Blanco. You can start the journey to accessing it by either scanning the QR code on the back of a package of Selena’s Oreos or by visiting OREOSelenaSignatureUnlock.com.

Once you’re on that website, another QR code will send you on a hunt for Selena’s Signature OREO cookie, which has her signature embossed on it. The cookie is found in one of every three packs. Once you get the cookie, you then center your phone on it — yes, you scan the actual cookie — and that unlocks the remix.

As for the actual Oreos, they’re inspired by the Mexican drink horchata, which is made from rice, milk, cinnamon and sugar. It features chocolate cinnamon wafers sandwiching two layers of creme: one is chocolate and cinnamon-flavored, and one is the flavor of sweetened condensed milk.

SZA admits she ‘literally always’ feels like an underdog

June 18, 2025 by WDNY Radio

She’s won Grammys, broken Billboard records, performed sold-out concerts and gone Platinum, yet SZA still feels like an underdog. She tells Chappell Roan for Interview magazine that she has one quality that keeps her pushing.

“My curiosity has led me to want to discover what’s next, or to see if I can dig myself out of the weird, self-deprecating hole that comes from being in this business,” she explains. “I never really know what the f*** is going on.”

SZA says her curiosity has also helped her to push past her fears, one of which included joining Kendrick Lamar on the Grand National Tour.

“I’ve never been on a f****** stadium tour before. There’s so much fear,” SZA says. Instead of occupying her mind with questions like, “Am I going to feel the crowd so far away from me versus being in a smaller venue?” and “Am I going to be able to catch it and release it and flip it?” she says she’s “too curious about what it’s going to be like to go up in that harness and too curious about what it’s going to be like to really give my best Tina Turner impression.”

SZA said she used to seek external validation, until her God told her “to stop trying to find my answer externally.” She also learned not to give into imposter syndrome.

“I used to not show up to something because it was like, ‘I’m never going to win. No one cares that I’m here. Why would I go?’” she says.

That’s where curiosity saves the day. “Now it’s just like, ‘F*** it. I don’t have anything else to do, and I want to see where this door is going to lead. … I want to walk through the door. I want to see what happens in the uncertainty.’ That’s the true magic.”

Filter announces 30th anniversary ’Short Bus’ vinyl reissue

June 17, 2025 by WDNY Radio

Filter has announced a vinyl reissue of the band’s 1995 debut album, Shot Bus, in honor of its 30th anniversary.

The LP will be available across five different color variants on Aug. 15 and is available to preorder now.

“So much has changed over the last 30 years,” says frontman Richard Patrick. “I’ve gotten married, had two wonderful children and been around the world many times, but the one constant through it all has been Filter—and it all started with Short Bus.”

“I think back to what a thrill it was writing and recording these songs, and how much fun I still have performing them,” Patrick continues. “To me, this album sounds as fresh and vital as it did when it first came out in 1995.”

Patrick formed Filter and released Short Bus after playing in Nine Inch Nails‘ touring band. The album established Filter as part of the ’90s industrial scene thanks in large part to the single “Hey Man Nice Shot.”

Filter’s most recent album is 2023’s The Algorithm. They’ll be touring with Alice in Chains‘ Jerry Cantrell beginning in August.
