The Hu has premiered a new song called “Grey Hun,” a track off the Mongolian metal outfit’s upcoming album, Hun.

“‘Grey Hun’ is a song that encourages everyone to be comfortable with just being themselves,” says band member Enkush in a statement. “It started with composing the riff as I imagined a man riding his horse through a vast landscape. From there, it took a while for us to finish the song because we wanted to make sure to clearly communicate the positive message of the song.”

You can watch the video for “Grey Hun” streaming now on YouTube.

Hun, the follow-up to 2022’s Rumble of Thunder, is due out July 24. It also includes the single “Lost Soul” featuring Jonny Hawkins of Nothing More.

The Hu will be touring the U.S. alongside Rob Zombie and Marilyn Manson beginning in August.

Criminal charges have been dropped against Bailey Zimmerman after an incident at a concert in New Mexico.

The Bernalillo County District Attorney’s office in Albuquerque confirmed the dropped charges to ABC News on Thursday.

“The criminal matter was dismissed. Full restitution was made,” District Attorney Sam Bregman said in a statement.

An attorney for Zimmerman also confirmed the dropped charges, telling ABC News in a statement late Wednesday, “Charges were dropped after Bailey took immediate responsibility for his mistake. We are grateful to the Pueblo of Sandia and the District Attorney’s Office for this just and swift resolution.”

Court records show the “Fall in Love” singer had faced one count of criminal damage more than $1,000, a felony, and one count of falsely obtaining services related to an incident at a May 27 concert at the Sandia Resort & Casino in Albuquerque.

According to an arrest affidavit filed in Bernalillo County Metropolitan Court, Zimmerman allegedly “stumbled onto the stage” before grabbing a guitar and striking it against the ground.

The arrest affidavit further alleged he threw a microphone off the stage and that, after band members attempted to intervene, “Mr. Zimmerman yelled at them and walked off stage for the third time.”

According to the arrest affidavit, Zimmerman allegedly caused approximately $16,000 in damage to his hotel room and left unpaid charges for alcohol billed to the room.

As previously reported, the “Chevy Silverado” hitmaker addressed the incident on Wednesday, apologizing to the Pueblo of Sandia, Sandia Resort & Casino and fans who purchased tickets to the show.

Looks like Bryan Adams is getting ready to release a very Canada-centric song on Canada Day.

The Canadian rocker revealed on Instagram that he’ll be dropping the tune “The 51st State” on July 1, which marks Canada’s national holiday.

The title appears to be a reference to President Donald Trump’s suggestion that Canada should become part of the United States, but don’t think Adams is suggesting he wants that to happen. In the caption of his announcement, he clearly states it’s something “We’ll never be.”

There’s no word on whether the song is part of a future Bryan Adams album or just a standalone single. He released his last studio album, Roll With The Punches, in August.

Adams is currently on a European tour and plays Herceg Novi, Montenegro, on Friday. His tour returns to the North America on July 24 with a show in St. Louis, Missouri. A complete list of dates can be found at BryanAdams.com.

Beck is no longer riding lonesome on his “Ride Lonesome” single.

The “Loser” artist has shared a new version of the song featuring musician Sierra Ferrell, who previously sang with Mumford & Sons on Saturday Night Live.

“I met Sierra five years ago on a dance floor in Nashville,” Beck writes in an Instagram post. “She taught an LA boy how to two step. Then she got on stage with the house band to sing a few tunes. A local leaned in my ear and said you gotta hear her sing, she’s the real deal. And she was.”

He continues, “Been a long while coming to sing together. I think it might’ve beat the original version of this tune.”

The original “Ride Lonesome” dropped in April, and follows Beck’s string of one-off singles over the last couple years, including “Thinking About You” and the Phoenix collaboration “Odyssey.” His most recent album is 2019’s Hyperspace.

Beck will launch his Ride Lonesome North American tour in September.

Sombr drops new song and video ‘My Body Isn’t Ready’: ‘It can be taken as a metaphor’

Sombr has dropped a new track that holds deep personal meaning for him.

On Instagram, he writes that he hopes the song, called “My Body Isn’t Ready,” “can mean different things to different people.” He explains, “It can be taken as a metaphor. Or it can be taken literally as a description of how I have perceived my own body, for my whole life.”

“I wanted to write about my struggle so that other people who may also be struggling know that they are not alone,” he adds. “You are beautiful, and I love you.” He also shouts out Obsession star Inde Navarrette and Off Campus actor Josh Heuston for “shining” in the music video.

In the song, he sings, “I like you, but my body isn’t ready/ I want you, but the mirror won’t let me/ I try to be the person you’re expecting/ But I’m not ready, I’m not ready.”

In the video, a goth-looking sombr sticks out like a sore thumb after showing up to a day party at a fancy LA mansion filled with fabulous guests. When a magician doing card tricks shows him a card that reads, “You don’t belong here,” a crowd of people — including Josh, who plays a pretentious sculptor — laugh at him. But Inde, another party guest who’s been watching him from afar, seems intrigued by him.

A depressed somber then covers his entire body in papier-mâché until he resembles a sculpture. He gets picked up and loaded into a limo with Inde and a group of other people, but when he’s thrown out of the car, she gets out too and removes the papier-mâché. The two then spend a romantic evening together.

Sombr debuted the song on The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon Thursday night.

(GREENBELT, Md.) — President Donald Trump’s former national security adviser John Bolton pleaded guilty Friday to one count of illegal retention of national security information.

Bolton entered his plea to the single felony count in federal court in Greenbelt, Maryland, before U.S. District Judge Theodore Chuang.

The guilty plea makes Bolton thus far the only successfully prosecuted case in Trump’s campaign of retribution against those he perceives to be his political enemies.

Bolton had faced 18 counts of unlawful transmission and retention of national defense information for allegedly sharing notes with his wife and daughter — some of which contained information classified as high as Top Secret — during his time serving in the first Trump administration.

Bolton changed his plea to guilty with respect to count 12 of his indictment.

Sitting in court Friday alongside his attorney Abbe Lowell, Bolton answered a series of questions from Judge Chuang acknowledging his rights and his voluntary decision to plead guilty to the charge, which carries a maximum prison sentence of 10 years.

When asked if he was pleading guilty be cause he is, in fact, guilty, Bolton responded to Chuang: “I am, your honor, I’m sorry for it.”

According to terms of the plea agreement outlined by prosecutors in court, the government will not seek a sentence of more than 60 months and Bolton has agreed to forfeit approximately $2.2 million to resolve the case.

Judge Chuang will ultimately have final discretion over how much time Bolton could serve, if any.

Bolton has also agreed to serve 100 hours of community service and is forfeiting any retirement pay tied to his time in federal service.

The count he is pleading guilty to involves keeping classified national security information in diaries, according to sources. Bolton is expected to maintain that he did not take documents with classification markings out of government offices.

Bolton, who was national security adviser for part of the first Trump administration, was indicted by a grand jury in October 2025 on charges that he allegedly unlawfully transmitted and retained classified documents.

The indictment, handed up by a federal grand jury in Maryland, charged Bolton with eight counts of unlawful transmission of national defense information as well as 10 counts of unlawful retention of national defense information.

Prosecutors had accused Bolton of using a non-government personal email account and messaging application to transmit to two unauthorized family members at least eight documents that contained information classified at levels ranging from “secret” to “top secret.”
