Yes keyboardist Rick Wakeman is ready to tell his life story.

The Rock & Roll Hall of Famer will release his memoir, The Wizard of Prog, on Oct. 29. According to the announcement, it will recount Wakeman’s life “from the beginning to not quite the end… just yet.”

The description notes that the memoir is “a story of musical genius with a taste for adventure, a delightful sense of the absurd and a winning gift for comedy,” calling it “the book Rick has always wanted to write.”

The Wizard of Prog is available for preorder now.

To coincide with the book announcement, the 77-year-old Wakeman has also announced dates for The Wizard Of Prog – Ultimate Highlights Concert Tour, a U.K. tour that kicks off Feb. 17, 2027, in Brighton and wraps March 12, 2027, in Leicester.

“All tours are special, but this one is really very special,” Wakeman says. “I can’t exactly tell you why, but trust me … it is!”

Unlike his recent tours that have been focused on a complete album, the new tour will have Wakeman dipping into his vast catalog of music. A complete list of dates and ticket information can be found at rwcc.com.

A new teaser trailer for Lanterns has arrived.

HBO Max released the second trailer for its upcoming DC Studios superhero TV series on Monday.

Kyle Chandler, Aaron Pierre and Kelly Macdonald star in the upcoming show, which will make its debut on Aug. 16.

Lanterns follows a new recruit named John Stewart (Pierre) and Hal Jordan (Chandler). The two intergalactic cops are “drawn into a dark, earth-based mystery as they investigate a murder in the American heartland,” according to the show’s official logline.

“Tell me how you go it. The ring,” Pierre’s John Stewart asks Chandler’s Hal Jordan in the trailer.

“You know how I got it. I sure as hell didn’t interview for it,” he responds.

The trailer also reveals that Ozark star Laura Linney is part of the series’ cast. We see her character sit across from John Stewart. He tells her, “I was raised fearless, and I’ll do this better than he’s ever done it before.”

“Then go and get it, John Stewart,” she says back.

True Detective: Night Country‘s Chris Mundy is the showrunner for Lanterns. He writes the program alongside Watchmen‘s Damon Lindelof and DC comic creator Tom King.

It seems like week after week people keep on “Choosin'” to listen to Ella Langley.

The Alabama singer’s “Choosin’ Texas” is now #1 on the Billboard Hot 100 for a 10th week. Out of the 67 years the chart has existed, only 4% of #1 hits ever stay on top that long. It’s even rarer for country songs to accomplish this, although in recent years it has become more common: Shaboozey’s “A Bar Song (Tipsy)” was #1 for 19 weeks and Morgan Wallen’s “Last Night” spent 16 weeks on top.

Ella is also at #2 with her song “Be Her,” which she performed at the ACM Awards on Sunday night. She also won seven trophies Sunday, the most by any artist in a single year.

Meanwhile, Olivia Dean is setting her own milestones on the Hot 100. Her song “Man I Need” is #3, while “So Easy (To Fall in Love)” is #5. That makes Olivia the first British woman to have her first two top-five hits chart in the Hot 100 simultaneously. Yes, fellow Brit Adele had two hits in the top five in 2021 — “Easy on Me” and “Oh My God” — but those weren’t her first two top-five hits.

Olivia is now in rare company: She’s one of three British acts ever to accomplish this, and it hasn’t happened since the 1960s. The Beatles did it first in 1964, and then the band Herman’s Hermits did it in 1965.

That’s a wrap for George Strait’s 2026 shows, after playing his fourth concert Saturday at Moody Center in Austin. 

To honor the country legend, the venue named its new backstage lounge The Troubadour after his 2008 album and its top-10 hit of the same name.

Serving honky-tonk vibes, the new room features a vintage jukebox loaded with Strait’s catalog, as well as a bronze plaque with his boot prints embedded in the floor. 

“I’ve played a lot of places over the years,” he says, “and to have a space like this honoring the music, the memories, and the fans—it means a lot to me. Thank you, Moody Center and Messina [Touring Group], for such a thoughtful dedication.”

King George played two nights with Willie Nelson when Moody Center opened in 2022.

More than 60,000 people turned out for George’s sold-out four-night run.

The Offspring has announced a pair of shows in Quebec focusing on the band’s older “punk stuff.”

“Amongst the ‘billions’ of comments on our socials, we keep seeing more and more requests for the deep cuts—the ‘Punk Stuff’ that we don’t usually play in our regular set,” the “Come Out and Play” rockers write in a Facebook post. “‘Play your old s***!’ We see it over and over again. And we hear you.”

The band continues, “So here it is: two exclusive Quebec shows where we’re going to play only the punk stuff, the old stuff, the songs dear to us—our roots, the place we came from.”

The shows take place Aug. 3 in Quebec City and Aug. 5 in Montreal. Tickets go on sale Friday at 10 a.m. local time.
