‘Honey’ and ‘Salt’: John K to release new album in July

June 4, 2025 by WDNY Radio

John K, currently climbing the chart with his song “Honey,” has announced that he’s releasing his third album in July.

Salt + Light will arrive July 18, just ahead of his Salt + Light Tour: Part 1, launching July 31 in Seattle. You can preorder the album now.

In a statement, John says the album is about his life at home as a husband and father of two, and his life on the road. “When I’m home, I’m all in. Present. Grounded. Fully theirs,” he says of his family. “And then I leave — to go chase the thing I’ve loved my whole life: music. I go on tour. I pour myself into rooms full of strangers. And that contrast — it’s beautiful and brutal. It stretches me. It makes me honest. This album is born from that tension.”

He adds, “I want every word I’m singing to be believable. My biggest hope is to connect. I hope the tension, pain, growth, and love come out in this beautiful way. I want to write songs you can play at your wedding and keep coming back to for the rest of your life.”

The tour is set to wrap Aug. 31 in John’s hometown of Orlando, Florida. Visit MusicbyJohnK.com for details.

Why Jelly Roll’s vowing not to play Nashville until 2027

June 4, 2025 by WDNY Radio

Jelly Roll is done playing his hometown — at least for now.

During his Music City Rodeo concert at Bridgestone Arena, the Nashville native revealed he has even bigger dreams in mind.

“I shouldn’t say this, I’m gonna get in trouble. But I gotta say it out loud,” he started, as fans captured the moment on socials. “This will be my last Nashville show until 2027, y’all. Hear me out, though. This is why, because I need y’all’s help.”

Jelly explained that he wants to be the first artist to play the new Nissan Stadium after its scheduled opening two years from now.

“In 2027, Nissan Stadium, please let the local boy live a dream and open up the new stadium, let me be the first to play it, baby!” he continued. “Let the local boy do it, baby! I’ve been a f****** lifelong Titans fan. Let me play Nissan Stadium, y’all!”

“Sorry, that’s crazy, but I gotta speak it into existence. I believe in Nashville. If all of y’all brought a friend, we could do it,” he closed.

The new stadium will replace the one where the Tennessee Titans have played since 1999, the same one where the nightly CMA Fest concerts are now held.

Jelly’s currently on the Big A** Stadium Tour with Post Malone.

Oasis tour rehearsals have been ‘filthy’ & ‘spiritual,’ says Liam Gallagher

June 4, 2025 by WDNY Radio

As we inch ever closer to the launch of the Oasis reunion tour, it appears that the band has begun rehearsals with Liam Gallagher.

In a social media post, the “Wonderwall” singer shares, “We have LIFT OFF … sounded f****** FILTHY.” In response to a fan’s question about how the rehearsals are going, Liam replies, “SPIRITUAL.”

The Oasis reunion tour, which ends the 15-year feud between Liam and his long-estranged brother, Noel Gallagher, launches in the U.K. in July. The full band lineup that will be joining them has yet to be officially confirmed, though bassist Andy Bell says he’ll be taking part.

The tour will come to the U.S. in August.

Talking Heads to release first official video for ‘Psycho Killer’

June 4, 2025 by WDNY Radio

Talking Heads have been teasing fans on social media with something coming on Thursday. While some fans were speculating they were going to announce a reunion tour, the band has revealed the news — and it’s actually a new video.

In a post on social media, Talking Heads shared that they’ll be releasing the first-ever video for their classic tune “Psycho Killer” on Thursday at 12 p.m. ET. The clip stars Lady Bird actress Saoirse Ronan and was directed by Mike Mills.

“To mark the 50th Anniversary of the band’s first show at CBGB’s, the first official music video for ‘Psycho Killer,’ directed by Mike Mills & starring Saoirse Ronan, will be released,” read the post, which featured a picture of a film slate. “Out June 5th, 2025.”

They also posted a preview of the clip, with the caption “Ya, ya, ya, ya, ya, ya, ya, ya, ya, ya, ya, ya,” a refrain sung by frontman David Byrne in the song.

Released in 1977, “Psycho Killer” appeared on Talking Heads’ debut album, Talking Heads 77. The song landed on the Billboard Hot 100 and went on to become one of the band’s signature tunes.

Had the news been a reunion tour, it would have been the first time Talking Heads — Byrne, Tina Weymouth, Chris Frantz and Jerry Harrison — toured together since 1984, although they briefly reunited to perform for their induction into the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame in 2002.

While they haven’t performed together since then, all members of Talking Heads got together for several joint interviews in 2023 and 2024 to celebrate the 40th anniversary of their iconic concert film, Stop Making Sense.

Travis Kelce shouts out Taylor Swift for buying her masters, imagines being her ‘hype man’

June 4, 2025 by WDNY Radio

Travis Kelce is super happy that his girlfriend, Taylor Swift, has finally gained control of her master recordings.

On the latest episode of his New Heights podcast, Travis and his brother, Jason Kelce, welcomed NBA legend Shaquille O’Neal as a guest. At the end of his appearance, Shaq grabbed his phone and started playing Taylor’s hit “I Knew You Were Trouble,” lip-synching along to the lyrics.

“That’s my favorite song in the world, brother, I love it!” Shaq laughed.

Travis replied, “Shout out to Tay-Tay! Just got that song back, too. Just bought all her music back so it’s finally hers, too, man. I appreciate that!”

“I Knew You Were Trouble” is from Taylor’s Red album, one of the six she just reacquired from their owners, Shamrock Capital, for a reported nine figures.

Earlier in the episode, the brothers discussed Shaq’s side hustle as a DJ, with Travis saying, “You gotta get me [in] the DJ booth, man. Teach me your ways.” Shaq said he would and added, “You know what’s crazy? You opening up for your girlfriend? Bro, you’ll be a f****** star! Ten minutes, hyping up the crowd? Oh my God!”

“You know I’m a hype man,” Travis agreed. “I’d get ’em rockin’ in there. Have the Swifties bouncing off the walls before Tay gets out there!”

Shaq also told Travis that Jason had arranged for him to shake Taylor’s hand at the 2024 Super Bowl, which Travis’ team won. “She was with Ice Spice,” recalled Shaq. “I was more on Ice Spice than I was on your woman, but thank you, brother!”

“That was the Super Bowl I like to remember,” Travis joked.

A-ha frontman Morten Harket reveals he has Parkinson’s disease

June 4, 2025 by WDNY Radio

A-ha frontman Morten Harket, best known for the band’s ’80s hit “Take On Me,” has revealed that he has Parkinson’s disease.

The news was shared in an article posted to the band’s website, with Harket explaining, “I’ve got no problem accepting the diagnosis. With time I’ve taken to heart my 94-year-old father’s attitude to the way the organism gradually surrenders: ‘I use whatever works.'”

Harket says it was his “need for peace and quiet to work” that stopped him from revealing his diagnosis earlier.

“I’m trying the best I can to prevent my entire system from going into decline,” he says. “It’s a difficult balancing act between taking the medication and managing its side effects. There’s so much to weigh up when you’re emulating the masterful way the body handles every complex movement, or social matters and invitations, or day-to-day life in general.”

While Harket had procedures in 2024 to lessen his symptoms, he acknowledges that his condition has affected his voice, noting, “The problems with my voice are one of many grounds for uncertainty about my creative future.”

Asked whether he can currently sing at all, he replied, “I don’t really know. I don’t feel like singing, and for me that’s a sign.”

“The question is whether I can express myself with my voice,” he adds. “As things stand now, that’s out of the question. But I don’t know whether I’ll be able to manage it at some point in the future.”

As for why he’s revealing his diagnosis now, Harket shares, “It used to bother me to think about my sickness becoming public knowledge. In the long run it bothers me more to have to protect something that is strictly a private matter by treating it as a secret.”

Cardi B says she was ‘losing my mind’ with Offset, hasn’t been this happy in a long time

June 4, 2025 by WDNY Radio

Cardi B is opening up about the low moments she experienced in her marriage to estranged husband Offset, admitting she “felt like I was going crazy” before filing for divorce in July.

“I don’t think people understand how tired I was … I was mentally drained,” she said on X Spaces Tuesday. “Couldn’t eat—I was getting frequent headaches. I was literally losing my mind. I gave [him] chances after chances.”

Cardi continued, “It’s more than the cheating. It’s the constant lies, the gaslighting — it was really messing [with my head] … I couldn’t eat, I couldn’t sleep. My baby came out 5 pounds. A healthy baby. My baby came out 5 pounds, because I couldn’t eat, I was so depressed.”

She added her record label had even stepped in to help her, noting, “I did therapy, and I tried, and I fell back in love again.” Now dating Stefon Diggs, she says the happiest she’s been “in a very, very long time.”

Elsewhere in the chat, Cardi addressed those who claimed she’d cheated, explaining she’s been faithful and only stepped out with someone after Offset did the same on New Year’s Day. She says she built a friendship with Diggs before making things Instagram official.

“If I was still there [with Offset], I was gonna end up going to jail,” Cardi said on X Spaces. “Cause I was gonna end up killing him, seriously, with my own bare hands. It was just getting too much.”

Offset recently deactivated his social media accounts.

Pour me a drink: Post Malone to open bar on Nashville’s Lower Broadway

June 4, 2025 by WDNY Radio

In country music, you’re not a superstar until you have your own bar and restaurant on Nashville’s Lower Broadway — so welcome to the big time, Post Malone.

Posty is partnering with TC Restaurant Group, which has created establishments for stars like Morgan Wallen, Luke Combs, Luke Bryan and Miranda Lambert, for his own place at 305 Broadway. There’s no opening date or name yet.

The establishment will feature six bars, three stages, a full-service dining room and a rooftop, and will be designed around “the honky tonk grit and country soul of Lower Broadway.”

Posty, who was raised in Texas and currently lives in Utah, says in a statement, “Nashville has really become a second home for me so I can’t wait to invite y’all over to my house.”

In other Post Malone news, a Boston woman told MassLive.com that she was at the bar at Raffles Hotel on May 30 celebrating her birthday when she spotted the singer, who was there with one other person. She said Posty paid her tab, as well as the tab for the 10 other people who were also in the bar.

“You hear some celebs are real a******* and then some are amazing and you just never know,” she said. “But he was being so nice and cordial to everybody and it showed when he cleared the bill for everyone.”
