June 8, 2026 by WDNY Radio

Bon Jovi is giving fans a chance to be a part of their upcoming Forever tour.

Frontman Jon Bon Jovi took to Instagram asking fans to submit videos of them singing the band’s iconic hit “Livin’ On A Prayer,” with a chance for their clips to be featured as part of the tour visuals.

“We are in preproduction getting ready for the tour, and you know what, we’ve decided that we need you,” he says in the clip. “What we need you to do is record yourself singing ‘Livin’ On A Prayer.’” He notes, “We want you on the big screen. This is your chance to be a star.”

“We’re happy to be back, looking forward to seeing you,” Jon adds.

Those interested need to submit their videos at BonJovi.com/livin-on-a-prayer by Friday.

“This song has always belonged to the fans and this is a celebration of the voices that have sung it across the world,” the website reads. “Sing the full song or just jump in on the chorus. We want to see your version.”

The site adds, “This is about expression and individuality. Unique ideas, environments, and perspectives encouraged.”

Bon Jovi’s Forever Tour, the band’s first trek since Jon Bon Jovi underwent vocal cord surgery in 2022, begins July 7 at New York’s Madison Square Garden.

‘Somebody pinch me!!!’ Olivia Rodrigo raves over duet with The Cure’s Robert Smith

June 8, 2026 by WDNY Radio

After debuting “what’s wrong with me,” her new duet with Robert Smith of The Cure at the Primavera Sound festival in Barcelona, Spain, on Friday, Olivia Rodrigo sent a note to fans saying that she still can’t get over the fact that she got to record with the Rock & Roll Hall of Famer.

“I actually cannot believe I got to do [my first feature on an album] with Robert Smith! Somebody pinch me!!!” Olivia wrote. “Robert has been soundtracking my life for as long as I can remember. He has written some of my favorite songs of all time. His music moves me & inspires me to a degree that is hard to put into words.”

“I’ve also been lucky enough to spend time with him over the last year & experience first hand his generosity & graciousness,” she continued. “I am in disbelieve that this song exists and I cannot wait for it to come out officially!”

“what’s wrong with me” is part of Olivia’s new album, you seem pretty sad for a girl so in love, which comes out on June 12. As previously reported, the album’s first two singles are The Cure coded: “drop dead” mentions The Cure song “Just Like Heaven,” while the second one is literally called “the cure.”

Olivia and Robert Smith first performed “Just Like Heaven” together — as well as another Cure hit, “Friday I’m In Love” — last year at the Glastonbury Festival. At the time, Olivia came onstage for her encore wearing a T-shirt that said, “You know all the words to ‘Just Like Heaven.'” It was an Easter egg for a “drop dead” lyric, months before anyone knew the album existed. Robert had written on the tee with Sharpie, “But do you?”

Tentative trial date set for soldier who allegedly made $400,000 off Maduro’s capture

(NEW YORK) —
A federal judge on Monday set a tentative date for the trial of the U.S. Army special forces soldier who is charged with using classified information about the capture of Venezuelan President Nicolas Maduro to make more than $400,000 on the prediction market Polymarket.

The criminal trial of Master Sgt. Gannon Ken Van Dyke is tentatively scheduled for Dec. 7.

Van Dyke pleaded not guilty in April after prosecutors alleged he used inside information to place 13 bets on the outcome of the Maduro raid then attempted to destroy evidence of the trades after he pocketed more than $400,000.

The case would be the first U.S. prosecution of insider trading on a prediction market to go to trial.

Prosecutors on Monday estimated their case would take about one week, and defense lawyers said they plan to put on a brief case that would take a “couple of days.”

Defense lawyers said they plan to file a motion to dismiss the indictment by July 31.

Defense attorney Mark Geragos argued in court that the prosecution would be derailed by the classified information at the center of the case. To convict Van Dyke, he argued, prosecutors would need to prove “who was in the Situation Room at that time and who made the decision” to capture Maduro.

Van Dyke, who sat at the defense table during Monday’s proceedings, did not speak.

During Van Dyke’s arraignment in April, his defense attorney said he expected few factual disputes over the allegations in the case and believed that the prosecution would “largely rise and fall” on pre-trial motions.

Van Dyke, an experienced special forces soldier, was released on a $250,000 personal recognizance bond following his April arraignment. According to his attorney Zach Intrater, he is currently on leave from the Army.

Allegations of insider trading have prompted public scrutiny of prediction market sites like Polymarket and Kalshi. Prosecutors in New York last month charged a Google employee with using confidential company information to make more than $1.2 million on Polymarket.

Shaboozey ‘rides’ onto new ‘Rolling Stone’ cover

June 8, 2026 by WDNY Radio

Shaboozey “Rides Again” on the new digital cover of Rolling Stone.

In the new article, the “Tipsy (A Bar Song)” hitmaker reveals the inspiration for his new album, The Outlaw Cherie Lee & Other Western Tales, which comes out July 31.

“It’s a revisionist Western challenging the norms of what you see in Westerns. It’s about this woman wanting to get revenge against a group of people who, honestly, are trying to do what they feel is right. A group of people who have been discarded and are just looking to survive, looking to fight back,” he tells Rolling Stone. “I was thinking about my past relationships with people I loved, and getting backstabbed, and still loving the person that backstabbed you. It all went into this project.”

The second new tune from the record, “Cowgirl,” came out on Friday.

Shaboozey launches his Outlaws Never Die Tour Sept. 8 in Phoenix.
