From Ashes to New has announced a U.S. tour for the fall.
The headlining outing, dubbed the New Disease tour, kicks off Sept. 20 in St. Louis and concludes Nov. 14 in Fort Lauderdale, Florida.
“We may even have to break out a few new songs and a whole new vibe,” says vocalist Matt Brandyberry. “The next chapter is almost here and we are beyond ready to share it with everyone.”
Presales begin Tuesday, and tickets go on sale to the general public on Friday at 10 a.m. local time. For the full list of dates and all ticket info, visit FromAshestoNew.com.
From Ashes to New’s most recent album is 2023’s Blackout. It includes the singles “Barely Breathing,” “Nightmare” and “Hate Me Too.”
Ed Sheeran‘s going to release his new LP, PLAY, in September, but he’s not very enthusiastic about the whole “putting out an album” thing.
Speaking on The Louis Theroux Podcast, Ed declares, “The two joys of my life professionally are writing songs and performing and actually everything in between. I f****** hate releasing music. I really, like, find the whole process quite stressful.”
And why is that? According to Ed, “You love the songs so much and then suddenly you’re putting them out there, and that might change your relationship with them if other people don’t like them.”
“I find that when you’ve written a song, there’s so much, like, possibility and … you’re playing it to people and getting excited about it. … I find, like, releasing it just kind of sucks the joy out of it,” Ed says.
“If you release a song that you love that either gets critically savaged or doesn’t do well commercially, you then start to doubt the song. I’m trying to really take myself out of that and just be like, I like the song and that’s what matters. But you can’t help but be swayed by public opinion, I guess.”
Another thing Ed says he doesn’t like about his job is the need to protect his two daughters’ privacy. “I can’t take them to zoos or parks or anything really without someone trying to film them,” he tells Theroux. “I don’t want my kids’ image out there on a stranger’s phone or device.”
“So those are the times where the normal parts of life are … [you] kind of mourn for [them] and [I] sort of wish I could push my kid on a swing in a public park and it not be weird, you know?”

Tyler Perry took a moment to reflect on the support he’s received from Black women at the BET Awards 2025 Monday night.
“The first weapon I ever held was my mother’s hand,” Tyler said. “I think about my incredible audience, who’s a lot of men, a lot of women, but hear me when I tell you this: Black women have held me down and I appreciate you like you would not believe.”
Elsewhere in his speech, Tyler spoke about the erasure of Black history and encouraged fans to continue making their mark. He then introduced Ledisi to the stage to perform “BLKWMN” from her latest album, The Crown.
“That was the most emotional song because I wanted to give a ‘I love you’ and’ I thank you’ for all the work we do as Black women,” she previously told ABC Audio. “I wanted a song that documented this time we’re in where Black women did a lot of, have done a lot, of work. I’ve seen it for years. And we smile through things and keep going. So I want to celebrate our joy and our accomplishments and all the beauty that we bring to the world.”
She shared that Tyler voluntarily put the cinematic music video together shortly after she sent him the song in the wee hours of the morning.
“Next day, he sends it back. And it’s all what you see now, all these beautiful Black women. … It was just amazing,” she recalled. “I played it for my family first because I wanted them to see it, and they loved it.”
Ledisi adds she wanted to roll the album out before releasing the track but was encouraged to put it out immediately.
Justin Bieber is tired of the constant speculation about the state of his mental health, his physical health and his marriage.
A meme account shared a screenshot of a text exchange in which someone identified as “Grandpa” texted, “I am worried about Justin Beber [sic]. There is so much heartbreak in Justin’s life.” Normally this wouldn’t be notable, but Justin jumped in the comments to write, “Worry about yourself gramps.”
Justin then posted fans’ repostings of, and reactions to, his comment on his Instagram Story.
On his regular feed, he posted a text exchange between two unknown people that read, “Freedom is for everyone. Forgiveness is for everyone. Jesus is for everyone.” After that, he posted a blurry photo of his leg stretched out in front of him on a coffee table and his son Jack Blues‘ arm resting on his leg.
Some fans have pointed to Justin’s seemingly random Instagram posts as a sign that he’s struggling in some way, but it appears as though he’s done with people calling him out about it.
Turnstile has announced a U.S. tour in support of their new album, NEVER ENOUGH.
The headlining outing launches Sept. 15 in Nashville and concludes Oct. 19 in Orlando, Florida. Presales begin Wednesday at 10 a.m. local time, and tickets go on sale to the general public Friday at 10 a.m. local time.
NEVER ENOUGH, the much-anticipated follow-up to Turnstile’s 2021 breakout album, GLOW ON, was released Friday. It’s accompanied by a visual album, which premiered at New York City’s Tribeca Festival.
It was 40 years ago that Mick Jagger and David Bowie teamed up for their iconic collaboration on the Motown classic “Dancing in the Street.” To mark the occasion, the single is being reissued as a limited-edition white vinyl 12-inch, featuring all of the song’s mixes for the first time.
The announcement of the reissue comes 40 years to the day that the Live Aid benefit concert was announced. The two shows, which took place July 13, 1985, in London and Philadelphia, raised money for famine relief in Ethiopia.
The video for “Dancing in the Street,” which has now been upgraded to 4K high resolution from the original negative, debuted prior to Bowie’s set at London’s Wembley Stadium. The official track was released on Aug. 27, 1985, with proceeds also benefiting famine relief.
“We had such a laugh doing ‘Dancing in the Street’ with both the song recorded in the studio and the video done in one day. Remarkable how we pulled it off really,” Jagger shares. “The video is hilarious to watch now. We enjoyed camping it up and trying to impersonate each other’s moves, making it up as we went along. It was the only time David and myself collaborated on anything, which is a real shame.”
The new reissue is set to drop Aug. 29 and is available for preorder now. Thirty percent of the proceeds will be donated to the Band Aid Charitable Trust, which continues the work to end famine in Ethiopia.
After sold-out shows in London, Manchester and Glasgow, Scotty McCreery managed to make it back to Nashville in time to entertain fans at CMA Fest.
“The U.K. audiences are amazing. They know the words to every song and sing along passionately,” he says of his trip overseas. “We’ve been to the U.K. several times now, and each time we come we play a venue that is larger than the last trip and add additional cities. It’s gratifying to see the audiences growing every time we come. I can’t wait to come back again!”
The “Bottle Rockets” hitmaker heads to Europe to headline Switzerland’s Country Night Gstaad Festival in September.
Back in the U.S., Scotty played his hits “Five More Minutes” and “Damn Strait” for the CMA crowd at Nashville’s Nissan Stadium.
The Platinum Edition of his breakthrough album, Seasons Change, arrives June 20, as he and his wife, Gabi, await the birth of their second child later this year.
Hozier has postponed two shows on his ongoing U.S. tour due to illness.
The affected dates were originally scheduled for Tuesday in Camden, New Jersey, and Thursday in Ridgedale, Missouri, and have been moved to July 15 and July 22, respectively. Previously purchased tickets will be honored for the new dates.
“I’m truly sorry for the disappoint and inconvenience this causes,” Hozier writes in an Instagram Story. “It’s the last thing I ever want to do but to continue would be to risk the condition worsening and to give performances that don’t offer the best that I can bring.”
Hozier was already feeling under the weather during his headlining performance at New York City’s Governors Ball festival on Sunday. In an Instagram post after the show, he wrote, “Thank you to @govballnyc for having me last night and to the crowd in NYC for being so kind while I struggled through this virus.”
Hozier’s tour is set to continue with his performance at Bonnaroo on Sunday.
