Genesis has once again pushed back the release of the box set celebrating the 50th anniversary of their sixth studio album, The Lamb Lies Down on Broadway.
The band originally announced the box set in November 2024 for a planned March 2025 release. It was then delayed until June, and now they’ve announced it won’t be coming out until the fall.
“We deeply apologise to fans who’ve been kept in The Waiting Room to receive their orders,” Genesis shares on Instagram. “Due to unforeseen production issues, the release planned for June 13 has unfortunately been delayed until late Autumn 2025.”
“We understand you’ve been patiently Counting Out Time, and will update with a final delivery date as soon as it is available,” they add.
The Lamb Lies Down On Broadway 50th Anniversary Super Deluxe Edition, created with input from the band’s members — Tony Banks, Phil Collins, Peter Gabriel, Steve Hackett and Mike Rutherford — will include the remastered album, done at Abbey Road Studios; a Blu-ray with Dolby Atmos mixes, done under the supervision of Gabriel and Banks; and never-before-released demos. The set will also include The Lamb Lies Down On Broadway Live At The Shrine Auditorium, recorded Jan. 24, 1975.
There’s also a 60-page coffee table book, featuring interviews with all five band members, as well as previously unseen photos.
Released Nov. 22, 1974, The Lamb Lies Down on Broadway was a concept album based on an idea by Gabriel, about a Puerto Rican youth named Rael who goes on a journey of self-discovery. During the tour for the album, Gabriel announced to the band he was leaving Genesis once the tour was over.

Killer Mike is known to represent the city of Atlanta, and now, according to Rolling Stone, he’ll being doing so at the 2026 World Cup.
“I’m looking forward to FIFA coming here, because I know the city is going to progress and grow and never be the same again. This reminds me of when the Olympics came in the Nineties and how it grew the city,” he said. “I want kids in Atlanta to understand that there’s nothing in the world that you can want to do that you can’t do right from Atlanta.”
Mike considers himself a “casual watcher” of soccer, noting Brazilian soccer legend Pelé was his introduction to the sport.
He adds that while his teachers made it a point to show him that “Black people were not just in the United States,” there is a lot more representation serving as examples for the kids of this generation.
“Sports can be a great unifier, but I have seen soccer really genuinely unite at different ethnicities and give kids a bigger worldview, because all the biggest and baddest stars are outside the United States,” Mike shares.
“A lot of times, people think sports is just about male machismo, but really it’s family,” he adds. “I’m encouraged by soccer growing in Atlanta and the fever people have for Atlanta United and the greater game. Atlanta is an international city.”
Mexico, the U.S. and Canada will host the FIFA World Cup next year.
Back in 2012, Rod Stewart published Rod: The Autobiography, in which he detailed his life in the fast late as a global rock star. Fans will soon be able to get a slightly different take on the last 25 years of his life — from his wife.
Penny Lancaster is Rod’s third wife, the mother of his two youngest children and a celebrity in her own right in the U.K. She’ll publish her autobiography,Someone Like Me, on Sept. 25.
Announcing the book on Instagram, she writes, “At times I’ve felt alone and overwhelmed by some of the most difficult experiences I’ve had, but I’ve found that delving deeper and sharing these moments has not only helped me, it’s also had a positive impact on others.”
According to the publisher, Penny’s memoir details her struggles, including being bullied at school due to undiagnosed dyslexia, being the victim of a sexual assault as a young girl, undergoing IVF treatment, supporting loved ones — including Rod — through cancer diagnoses, and dealing with depression and menopause.
The book also covers her family life with Rod, and her efforts to promote women’s health and safety, including her work as a special constable for the City of London Police.
Rod was previously married to Alanna Stewart and Rachel Hunter; in addition to his children with them, he has kids from two other relationships. All together, he’s the father of eight kids and often credits Penny for working to bring the family together for celebrations and holidays.
The new Billy Idol documentary Billy Idol Should Be Dead debuted at the Tribeca Festival Tuesday, and in it the rocker reveals how he discovered he had a long-lost son he never knew about.
Idol was already a father to son Willem Broad with ex Perri Lister and daughter Bonnie Blue Broad with Linda Mathis. But after Bonnie took a DNA test, she discovered there was another member of the family.
“My husband just surprised me with a 23andMe, with a DNA test as a Christmas present,” Bonnie says in the doc, according to People. “And then a few weeks later, I get the results back on the app and open it and I’m like, who is this? This Brant. And it says his info’s like, New York, 1985, looking for my bio dad. I was like, ‘What?'”
BrantBroad says he thought someone else was his father, but a DNA test proved otherwise. When he asked his mother about it, she revealed that when she and the guy Brant thought was his dad broke up she spent a weekend with Idol.
The rocker has since welcomed Brant into the family; Brant even attended Idol’s Hollywood Walk of Fame ceremony in 2023.
“Once I saw Brant with Bonnie and Willem, they’ve all got the same quirky sense of humor,” Idol says. “And once I saw that, I could see he’s my son, really.”
Brant adds, “He’s definitely showed me a lot of love, so I’m blessed.”
Before Jonas Brothers release their new album, Greetings From Your Hometown, on Aug. 8, they’ve got something else in store for fans.
The group announced on Instagram that Friday will see the release of Jonas Brothers: Live from The O2 London. The concert album was recorded on Sept. 16, 2024, which also happened to be Nick Jonas‘ birthday. “[The] tracklist includes songs from the early days, unreleased music from our upcoming studio album, and a ton of favorites in between,” the post says.
“Getting to capture the energy from these shows on Nick’s birthday in London last year was something special and we can’t wait to share it with you all.”
According to Setlist.fm, during that show Nick was serenaded with “Happy Birthday.” In addition to all their hits, JoBros also performed two Elton John songs: “Cold Heart” and “Rocket Man.” It’s not clear if every song the group performed will be on the album.
The Beach Boys mastermind Brian Wilson has died at age 82. The Beach Boys are known for their hit singles, but also for one particular album – 1966’s Pet Sounds – which changed music forever. Composed almost single-handedly by Wilson, it marked the first time a pop-rock group had expanded its sound beyond the standard guitar/drums/bass configuration into something so complex that it was impossible to reproduce live.
Giles Martin, who remixed Pet Sounds in Dolby Atmos in 2023, told ABC Audio, it “used a combination of instruments that had never been heard before. Anywhere! And anywhere since, as well, by the way.”
The Beatles certainly took notice: After hearing Pet Sounds, they went on to make Sgt. Pepper’s Lonely Hearts Club Band. As Martin explained, “I think what happened … is that they were like, ‘Oh, if The Beach Boys can do that, we’re the Beatles, we can certainly do that.’”
Here are 10 more great Beach Boys musical moments from the mind of Brian Wilson and a variety of co-writers, including Mike Love, Tony Asher and Van Dyke Parks:
“Good Vibrations” (Wilson/Love, 1966): One of the most important popular songs in music history and, at the time, the most expensive single ever recorded. A pioneering example of what would eventually be known as “psychedelic” rock or pop, it was the band’s third #1 single.
“Wouldn’t It Be Nice” (Wilson/Love/Asher, 1966) and “God Only Knows” (Wilson/Asher, 1966): Two Pet Sounds highlights, with the former featuring envelope-pushing instrumentation and production, and the latter, a deceptively complex harmonic structure, as well as lyrics that were, at that point, taboo for a pop song. “God Only Knows” was chosen by Paul McCartney as his favorite song of all time.
“California Girls” (Wilson/Love, 1965): Partly inspired by the Beach Boys’ world travels and Brian Wilson’s first acid trip, it peaked at #3 and went on to inspire other songs, including The Beatles’ “Back in the U.S.S.R.” and Katy Perry’s “California Gurls.”
“Fun, Fun, Fun” (Wilson/Love, 1964): Possibly inspired by the Beach Boys overhearing the daughter of a Salt Lake City radio station owner complaining that she’d gotten her driving privileges revoked after lying about where she was taking her father’s car, it peaked at #5.
“I Get Around” (Wilson/Love, 1964): The Beach Boys’ first U.S. #1 hit, Mike Love said it was inspired in part by the group’s newfound fame and their yearning for something more.
“Don’t Worry Baby” (Wilson/Roger Christian, 1964): The B-side of “I Get Around,” it was inspired by TheRonettes’ “Be My Baby” and originally offered to that group, only to be rejected by producer Phil Spector. It features what’s considered one of Brian Wilson’s best vocal performances.
“Help Me, Rhonda” (Wilson/Love, 1965): Featuring a rare-for-the-time Al Jardine lead vocal, it was The Beach Boys’ second U.S. #1 hit and knocked The Beatles’ “Ticket to Ride” out of the top spot.
“Surfin’ U.S.A.” (Wilson/Chuck Berry, 1963): A rewrite of Chuck Berry’s “Sweet Little Sixteen,” it reached #2, cemented the so-called “California sound” and helped define what’s been called the “California myth.”
“Sail On Sailor” (Wilson/Tandyn Almer/Parks/Ray Kennedy/Jack Rieley, 1973): Brian Wilson stated that he “never liked” the song, a track from the band’s album Holland with vocals by Blondie Chaplin. But despite only reaching #79, it was one of the only Beach Boys songs to get airplay on FM rock radio.
