Disney+ is bringing back The Beatles’ Anthology series in November, and now, they are giving fans a look at the project.

The streaming service has released a trailer for The Beatles Anthology, a restored and remastered version of ABC’s 1995 documentary that featured John Lennon, Paul McCartney, George Harrison and Ringo Starr telling stories of their life and career as The Beatles. The original series was made up of eight parts, but the new version has been expanded to include a ninth installment that features previously unseen footage of McCartney, Harrison and Starr in the ’90s as they created the original Anthology series and albums.

Episodes 1-2 of The Beatles Anthology will debut Nov. 27, with episodes 7-9 debuting Nov. 28.

The Beatles are also revisiting The Beatles Anthology music with the Nov. 21 release of the Anthology Collection, featuring the original three Anthology albums plus a new fourth installment, Anthology 4. It will be released digitally and as a 12-LP or eight-CD collection.

The collection includes “Free as a Bird,” which was part of Anthology 1, and “Real Love,” which was part of Anthology 2. Both tracks, which at the time were the first new songs from The Beatles in 25 years, have been remixed by original producer Jeff Lynne. The new set also includes the band’s 2023 release, “Now and Then.”

Anthology 4 will also be released on its own as a three-LP or two-CD set featuring 36 tracks, including 13 previously unreleased demos and session recordings, and other rare recordings.

The sun may have set on Sum 41, but frontman Deryck Whibley isn’t letting go of his old band entirely.

Whibley tells Rock Sound that he’s recorded an album of acoustic Sum 41 songs.

“I’d like to do an acoustic tour of Sum 41 songs,” Whibley shares. “I have an acoustic record that I recorded, and it is done, of Sum 41 songs. That may come out sometime soon.”

Whibley cautions, however, that there aren’t currently any concrete plans for such a tour.

Sum 41 played their last concert in January before officially hanging it up for good after a performance at the 2025 Juno Awards in March, during which they were inducted into the Canadian Music Hall of Fame. 

Whibley, meanwhile, released a memoir called Walking Disaster in 2024. He’s also just launched a clothing line also called Walking Disaster.

The CMA Awards has added more performers and presenters to its already stacked bill.

Cody Johnson will be vying for four trophies at Wednesday’s CMA Awards, competing for entertainer and male vocalist of the year, plus musical event and music video for “I’m Gonna Love You” with Carrie Underwood.

Should Cody add to his collection, he has quite an impressive place to display his new accolades — thanks to an extensive home renovation and the fact that his wife asked him to keep his hunting trophies elsewhere.

“I redid my rodeo arena at my house,” he explains. “At the end of the arena, there’s a 4,000-square-foot trophy lodge and it has given me a place to put all my stuff.”

“Because I’ve been in athletes’ houses before where it looks like a shrine to them,” Cody continues. “It’s like, ‘There’s not even a damn family photo in here.’ And with this forever home, I want [my kids] to have a place where it feels like home. It is this big, nice, beautiful home that dad went to work and provided for, and I want family pictures, and I want it to be about them.”

Cody confesses there’s obviously an upside for “dad” as well.

“If I condense all these trophies, when you walk into the trophy lodge, then you think, ‘Wow, this is all really cool,'” he says.

Tune in to the 59th CMA Awards Wednesday at 8 p.m. ET on ABC to see how Cody fares.

The New Edition Way tour kicks off in 2026, bringing New Edition onstage with Boyz II Men, a group Michael Bivins helped to launch and manage. After years of learning from the stars and succeeding on their own merit, Wanya Morris of Boyz II Men tells ABC Audio “now is the time” for them to come together.

“This is long overdue,” he says of sharing the stage with New Edition. “I mean Boyz II Men and New Edition, we’ve been grafted in each other’s lives by Michael Bivins bringing us in, and putting us in a position where we were able to express our talents and our abilities.”

Though they were inspired by many different groups, Wanya says the members of N.E. were “the ones that really put hands on us and helped us get to that next level,” which is why he’s honored “to be sharing the stage with those guys.” 

He says, “We’ve always wanted to do it, and now is the time.”

N.E.’s Ricky Bell agrees that the timing is right, as it aligns with where they all are in multiple aspects of their lives.

“Just the timing of everything … not even just with our careers, I just think where we are as men, as a community, where we are spiritually and even mentally, this is just the perfect time to make this happen,” he says.

“It feels like something that is just supposed to happen in the grand scheme of things,” Ricky adds. “We always try to bring our fans something special, something that’s unique, a unique experience that you don’t get to see it all the time.”

The New Edition tour, also featuring Toni Braxton, launches in January at the Oakland Arena in California. Tickets are currently on sale.

Teddy Swims‘ son is only 5 months old, but he’s already teaching his old man a thing or two.

Teddy and his partner, Raiche Wright, welcomed their first child on June 23, although they have not yet revealed his name. On the red carpet at the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame induction ceremony, Teddy told ABC Audio the biggest lesson he’s learned now that he’s a dad.

“I think for me, the biggest thing would be presence,” he said. “So many times in my life, I was always like, ‘I gotta go get it … somebody else’s gettin’ it, I gotta be working all the time.'”

“And nowadays … even yesterday, I’m sitting on the couch doing absolutely nothing, watching TV with him and knowing that this is the most productive thing I could do is just nothing with him, and just being present. And I think it’s changed my life a lot on just being present with things.”

Days where Teddy can sit on the couch with the baby and do nothing are becoming few and far between: After going to LA for the Rock Hall induction, he’s now in Asia. He’ll perform in South Korea and Singapore before heading to Dubai, and then coming back to the U.S. for some holiday shows. But he’ll be slowing down a bit and focusing on new music in 2026.

“We’re getting ready to write. We’re taking a little bit less of touring next year, and writing and writing and writing. And I’m writing now, so we’re going to see where it goes, you know?”
