A new trailer for Spider-Man: Brand New Day is here.

Ahead of the Destin Daniel Cretton-directed film’s theatrical release on July 31, a new trailer dropped on Wednesday featuring Tom Holland as Peter Parker, Zendaya as MJ and more.

The new trailer sees Holland entering the Spider-Verse again, and this time, he’s spinning out of control in the aftermath of 2021’s Spider-Man: No Way Home, when he asked Doctor Strange for a spell to make the world forget he’s Spidey after his secret identity was exposed.

Brand New Day follows Peter as he fights crime full-time as Spider-Man “in a world that doesn’t remember him,” according to the synopsis for the film.

“The pressure of seeing his old friends move on without him — sparks a change in Peter he may not have the power to control,” the synopsis adds. “But that transformation might also be the only thing that can stop a shocking new threat to the city and those he loves — a powerful villain no one can even see.”

The synopsis continues, “The world may have forgotten Peter Parker, but he hasn’t forgotten them.”

The film also sees the return of familiar Marvel faces Jon Bernthal as Punisher and Mark Ruffalo as Hulk. We also get Jacob Batalon as Peter’s pal Ned and Michael Mando as villain Scorpion, with Sadie Sink and Tramell Tillman joining as new characters.

The press tour for the new film also began this week with Zendaya and Holland stepping out together in Madrid during a photo call for the film.

Brand New Day is the fourth Spidey solo adventure starring Holland after 2017’s Spider-Man: Homecoming, 2019’s Spider-Man: Far From Home and 2021’s Spider-Man: No Way Home. It’s the 38th movie in the Marvel Cinematic Universe

Marvel is owned by Disney, the parent company of ABC News and “Good Morning America.”

Neil Young’s ‘Harvest Moon’ covered by Melvins’ Dale Crover, who appeared in original song’s video

June 17, 2026 by WDNY Radio

Neil Young’s tune “Harvest Moon” has been covered by Melvins’ drummer Dale Crover, who has an interesting connection to the track.

Crover, who was also briefly a member of Nirvana, played a role in the original tune’s release over 30 years ago. You see, the rocker played a younger version of Young in the video for the original “Harvest Moon,” which was the title track off Young’s 1992 album.

According to Crover’s label, Joyful Noise Recordings, he also “crashed Neil’s car on set” during the video shoot.

Crover has now put his spin on “Harvest Moon” for an EP titled Get Yer Ba-Ba’s Out, dropping Sept. 4. His version is also a mash-up with the Melvins song “The Bit.”

The “Harvest Moon” cover is out now.

Lil Nas X teases new music, says he’s ‘doing much better’

June 17, 2026 by WDNY Radio

Lil Nas X says he is “doing much better” after receiving care for bipolar disorder at a mental health treatment facility following his arrest in Los Angeles last year.

The rapper, born Montero Lamar Hill, was arrested in August and taken to a hospital after he was seen roaming nearly naked down a street in Los Angeles. The 27-year-old was subsequently charged with three felony counts of battery with injury on a police officer and one felony count of resisting an executive officer, to which he pleaded not guilty.

In April, a Los Angeles judge granted the rapper mental health diversion, saying at the time that the charges against him could be dismissed if he completed a mental treatment program and didn’t break the law for the next two years.

On Wednesday, Lil Nas X took to Instagram to share an update on his health.

“I’ve been in rehab for a few months, and since then, I’ve been back at home trying to ground myself back to earth and get out my head,” the Grammy-winning artist said in a video.

He added that he had since received a diagnosis of bipolar disorder, and began seeing a therapist and a psychiatrist, who he said had been “really helpful.”

“When I got my bipolar disorder diagnosis, I feel like I had known for the past few years, but I didn’t want to admit to it, because I didn’t want to have to take medication, and, I don’t know, have people think different of me,” he said. “I’m already Black and gay … I’m, like, living life on ‘extreme hard’ mode.”

Lil Nas X said he has been “doing much better” since receiving the diagnosis and undergoing treatment for it.

“I’m doing better. I’m feeling better. I’m creating freely, and there’s less fear in my heart, and I’m just, like, smelling the roses. I’m smelling the roses, man,” he said.

He added, “I want to let you guys know that there is new music on the way, and I’m not getting completely into that just yet, but I’m excited to do that, and I’m excited to go on this journey with you guys, this next chapter.”

Lil Nas X ended his video with a message to his fans and supporters, whom he called his “Montourage.”

“We’ve been through so much together. Thank you guys for holding me down,” he said. “I love you, and all I wanna do is continue to try to make you proud and make myself proud. So, let’s go, dreamboy, let’s go.”

The rapper’s debut studio album, Montero, was released in September 2021. His second studio album, Dreamboy, has not yet been released; however, he has released several singles and promotional singles teasing the project.

Shania Twain’s full-circle moment with Tanya Tucker honors her mom

June 17, 2026 by WDNY Radio

“According to my mother, I’m the next Tanya Tucker, I’m gonna be a star,” Shania Twain sings in a sneak peek at the title track of her new album, Little Miss Twain.

The pop/country icon shared the preview alongside a short video that shows her attaching an Ontario license plate to the front of the truck that appears on the album’s cover.

She also revealed the song will drop June 26. It includes a guest spot by the “Delta Dawn” superstar, who, like Shania, started singing when she was just a kid.

“This one is really special,” Shania writes. “I’m honored to say that @thetanyatucker features. This song is an homage to my mother, who believed with every ounce of her being that her daughter was destined to be the next Tanya Tucker.”

Shania’s seventh album, Little Miss Twain, arrives July 24. She’s currently in the middle of an extended run of shows at London’s Wembley Stadium.

Chicago has paid tribute to founding member Walter Parazaider, who passed away Wednesday after living with Alzheimer’s disease. He was 81.

“Chicago is heartbroken to share the sad news of Walter Parazaider’s passing this morning,” the band writes on Instagram. “We extend our deepest condolences to his family, friends and countless Chicago fans who are all grieving his loss today.”

“A Rock & Roll band with horns was Walt’s idea. He put the band together and they rehearsed in the basement of his mother’s home,” the post continues. “He is also the one who did the hard work to book shows for the young, unknown band, performing top 40 covers at local bars in and around Chicago.”

“We are forever grateful for his contributions,” the post concludes. “Perhaps his greatest gift was bringing people together. This amazing music may have never been heard had it not been for Walt’s vision.”

Parazaider was part of the original lineup of Chicago, along with Peter Cetera, Terry Kath, Robert Lamm, Lee Loughnane, James Pankow and Danny Seraphine. The band formed in its namesake city in 1967.

Report: Cher in talks to provide voice for animated film about bugs

June 17, 2026 by WDNY Radio

Cher is in talks for her first film role since 2018’s Mamma Mia! Here We Go Again.

Deadline reports that the Oscar-winning entertainer may provide the voice for an animated Australian film called Fly Squad — First Strike! The movie is about three insects who team up to find an antidote to a chemical that threatens their survival.

Cher is reportedly interested in voicing the mother of the main character. Deadline notes the project appealed to her because it’s “a fun way to highlight species preservation.”

Cher isn’t the only famous musician involved in the film. Deadline reports that Irish artist Bob Geldof — best known as the driving force behind the 1985 charity concert Live Aid and the charity Band Aid single “Do They Know It’s Christmas?” — is in talks to voice a “legendary insect rock star” who organizes “Insect Aid.”

Cher, who recently turned 80, has been fairly quiet musically, aside from a performance on Saturday Night Live in December.
