M.I.A. releases ‘Everything’ from upcoming album, ‘M.I.7’

April 7, 2026 by WDNY Radio

After securing a spot on Kid Cudi’s upcoming tour, M.I.A. has released a new song titled “Everything.”

The single finds her giving thanks to God for showing up in her life. “All of my love, all of my praise /All of my life and all of my grace,” she sings. “He showed me his face, met me in every place/ He led me out the dark of every single maze.”

It arrives with a visualizer, shot by MAHDY, which mainly finds M.I.A. dancing to the song with children in the desert.

“Everything” is a preview of M.I.A.’s upcoming album, M.I.7, which is set to arrive on April 17.

Her seventh studio album, it features seven songs written in seven places and recorded across Ethiopia, Egypt, India, London, Australia and Los Angeles. It’s described as M.I.A.’s “answer to a gospel album,” her website says, and takes inspiration from the Bible’s Book of Revelation, providing fans with “a spiritual lens for understanding our current times.”

“Everything” is now available to watch on YouTube; the album can be preordered.

M.I.A. will hit the road as part of Kid Cudi’s The Rebel Ragers Tour on April 28.

Sebastian Bach and Twisted Sister’s Eddie Ojeda perform ‘I Wanna Rock’ in Nashville

April 7, 2026 by WDNY Radio

Sebastian Bach gave music fans a taste of what his upcoming shows with Twisted Sister may sound like.

The former Skid Row frontman was headlining a solo show in Nashville Monday, and was joined for a song by Twisted Sister guitarist Eddie Ojeda. Fan-shot footage posted to social media shows the pair teaming up for a performance of the Twisted Sister classic “I Wanna Rock.”

Twisted Sister original members Dee Snider, Jay Jay French and Ojeda were supposed to launch a reunion tour in April, but the tour was canceled after frontman Snider pulled out due to health issues. Then in March, Ojeda and French announced that Bach would be taking over lead singer duties for “a handful of select dates this fall.”

Snider later revealed on social media that he approved of Bach stepping in for him, noting, “He’s a true fan & will honor what I did with every show!”

Twisted Sister/Bach shows begin Sept. 4 in Palmer, Arkansas. Bach’s next solo show is Friday in West Wendover, Nevada. A complete list of Bach dates can be found at SebastianBach.com.

Death of Vietnamese immigrant in Indiana facility is latest ICE detainee fatality

April 7, 2026 by WDNY Radio

(MIAMI COUNTY, Ind.) — A Vietnamese immigrant died in government custody last week, according to a notification sent to lawmakers from Immigration and Customs Enforcement, marking the latest detainee death during the Trump administration’s immigration crackdown.

Tuan Van Bui, a 55-year-old immigrant, died at the Miami Correctional Center in Indiana.

He is the 46th person to die in federal custody during the current Trump administration.

In its notification, ICE said that “onsite staff discovered Bui unresponsive and immediately initiated life-saving measures, including CPR. Staff immediately contacted emergency services personnel, who swiftly responded to the scene and initiated advanced life support interventions.”

The cause of death is under investigation.

ICE officials said that Bui was ordered removed by an immigration judge in 2005 and that he had been arrested “over a dozen times on charges including robbery, theft, assault, criminal conspiracy, reckless endangerment, possession of a controlled substance with intent to distribute/manufacture, carrying firearms, resisting arrest, and DUI.”

Court records show Bui filed a habeas petition challenging his detention in February. A district judge responded to the petition the day after Bui died, ordering the government to detail its plans for his removal by April 6. The government filed a status report on Monday, after Bui died, but the contents of that report are not public because the habeas petition is sealed.

According to an ABC News analysis of ICE data and the number of detainee deaths provided to Congress, the first 14 months of the second Trump administration represent the deadliest period for the federal detention system in recent years, with the exception of 2020, when the COVID-19 pandemic contributed to a spike in deaths.

Accio, extended Broadway run!

Tom Felton is extending his stint as Draco Malfoy in Harry Potter in the Cursed Child on Broadway. The actor will continue his run in the production through Nov. 1.

There are several prescheduled dates where Felton will not appear as the Slytherin wizard, however. He will not be at the performances on May 11 through May 31, Aug. 17 through Aug. 23, Sept. 14 through Sept. 20 and Oct. 12 through Oct. 18.

Felton, who played Draco Malfoy in all eight films in the Harry Potter franchise, made his Broadway debut on Nov. 11, 2025. His casting marks the first time an actor from the original Harry Potter films has joined a stage production of Harry Potter and the Cursed Child.

The official social accounts for Harry Potter and the Cursed Child posted a video of Felton announcing his extension in the role.

“Now, just when you thought you’d seen the last of me, I am very excited to announce that my run as Draco Malfoy in Harry Potter and the Cursed Child on Broadway has been extended because of you, the fans,” Felton said in the video.

Felton’s casting was announced back in June 2025. He originally joined the show for a 19-week limited engagement, which was scheduled to last through March 22. That was then extended for an additional seven weeks due to high demand, with his previous last day on stage set for May 10. Now, he continues on with a final performance scheduled for the first day of November.

The play continues the Harry Potter story 19 years after the events of the book series and film franchise. It follows the children of Harry, Hermione, Ron and Draco, who now all attend Hogwarts together.
