Joan Jett says she has no plans to stop playing “Do You Wanna Touch Me (Oh Yeah).” The song was co-written by Gary Glitter, who was convicted in the U.K. of sex offenses, including attempted rape of a girl under 13.
Jett initially covered the song for her 1973 debut solo album, Bad Reputation, and still performs the song in concert. In an interview with The Telegraph, Jett was asked if “what we now know about Glitter” doesn’t bother her and she replied, “Of course it bothers me.”
“But that’s not the context in which I’m singing it, number one,” she said. “Number two, if we want to start investigating everybody … [o]ne of my favorite bands is the Rolling Stones. Go listen to Starf*****, about a 15-year-old. I’m not condoning it at all,” referring to The Stones’ 1973 track, now called “Star Star.”
“And if you listen to the words I sing, I’m singing different words from what he’s saying. I try to make it my own,” she continued. “But am I going to drop it after the fact, after I’ve had my own career with the song? No. And if people want to come at me for that, do it. I’ve been come at for [more].”
Joan Jett and the Blackhearts are set to kick off a U.K. tour on July 2 in Glasgow, Scotland. A complete list of show dates can be found at JoanJett.com.

A second ransom note received by a Tucson, Arizona, television station following the disappearance of Nancy Guthrie said she died shortly after her abduction, sources familiar with the investigation told ABC News.
Nancy Guthrie, the 84-year-old mother of Today show host Savannah Guthrie, was kidnapped from her Tucson, Arizona, home in the early hours of Feb. 1.
In the days after Nancy Guthrie’s disappearance, various ransom notes were sent to the media.
The Guthrie family received two notes that were sent to Tucson media outlets that investigators deemed potentially credible and the FBI had tried to trace their origin.
The first note demanded cryptocurrency for Nancy Guthrie’s return. The second note, according to sources, said she had died shortly after she was taken and was buried in nature.
The notes were received within days of Nancy Guthrie’s disappearance, but ABC News has not previously disclosed the contents of the second note.
Shortly after receiving the second note, Savannah Guthrie posted a statement in a Feb. 7 Instagram post.
“We received your message and we understand,” Savannah Guthrie said at the time. “We beg you now to return our mother to us. … This is very valuable to us, and we will pay.”
Images from Nancy Guthrie’s doorbell camera showing a masked man at her house were released early on in the investigation, but the 84-year-old’s whereabouts remain unknown and the suspect remains unidentified.
In March, Savannah Guthrie spoke out in her first interview, telling her friend and former co-host Hoda Kotb, “Honestly, we don’t know anything.”
Savannah Guthrie said her family “cannot be at peace” without answers and she pleaded for anyone with information to come forward.
“Someone can do the right thing, and it is never too late to do the right thing,” she said.
Anyone with information is urged to call 911, the FBI at 1-800-CALL-FBI, or the Pima County Sheriff’s Department at 520-351-4900.
Brantley Gilbert’s ‘Sins of the Father’ (BBR Music Group/BMG Nashville)
The release of Brantley Gilbert’s eighth studio album is still a little more than a month away, but he’s just released two new songs early.
The first is the title track, “Sins of the Father,” which he calls the “most country song on the album.”
“I’ve done my dirt/ And I’ve been washed in the water/ Lord I go to church/ And I’m still learning the gospel,” Brantley sings on the track. “But tonight Lord I pray for our sons and our daughters/ Don’t make ‘em pay for the sins of the father.”
At the other end of the spectrum, Brantley estimates that “Good Ol’ Boys” “goes harder than probably anything I’ve ever written.”
In the end, the “Bottoms Up” hitmaker knows where he fits.
“As long as there’s a box in country music, I know where I belong,” he says. “And that’s right on the outside of it. All of my albums are a chapter of my life and this one’s no different. I don’t have skeletons in the closet – my s***’s out in the open. So if there’s any piece of my story that could help somebody, I’m cheating them if I keep it to myself.”
Sins of the Father arrives July 24, featuring Brantley’s current hit, “Good Damn.”

In his decadeslong career in the music industry, legendary record executive Clive Davis, who died Monday at age 94, worked with dozens upon dozens of major artists. Some of them have taken to Instagram to pay tribute to him.
Clive signed Barry Manilow to his record label Arista Records and gave him his first #1 hit, “Mandy.” Barry wrote on X, “My heart is heavy with the loss of my friend Clive Davis. For fifty years we worked together, created together, argued together, and celebrated together. Yes, some would say it was business. But to Clive, it never was. It was family. And I was honored to be a part of his. Thank you Clive. I wish we could do it all again.”
Bruce Springsteen wrote on Instagram, “At 22 years old, he changed my life when he signed me to Columbia Records. He treated me with the same respect and kindness as a 22-year-old nobody as he did after all my success. A great man. All our prayers and love.”
Clive helped revitalize Rod Stewart’s career by signing him to his record label J Records and encouraging him to release The Great American Songbook series of albums. Rod wrote on Instagram, “Lost for words! A day I’ve been dreading! A giant of a man in the music business. I owe Clive so much. … [H]e was the only one who believed a rock singer could sing the standards with conviction.”
“Other labels rejected the idea, and so The Great American Songbook was born, selling close to 40 million copies,” Rod continued. “We had some wonderful, unforgettable times together, but for now, Mr. Davis, it’s goodbye, my dear friend.”
Clive also rebooted Santana’s career with the all-star collaborations album Supernatural and its world-beating smash hit “Smooth.” Rob Thomas, who co-wrote the song and sang on it, wrote on Instagram, “For the last 27 years Clive Davis has been a friend and mentor to me. We started our working relationship when we released Smooth and continued on.” Rob added, “There are still a lot of good people in the music industry but with him goes the end of an era.”
Carlos Santana said in a statement, “Clive understood that music is more than entertainment. Music is a healing force. It brings people together beyond fear, beyond separation, beyond borders. He dedicated his life to championing artists and helping them share their gifts with the world.”

Bruce Springsteen, Carlos Santana, Rod Stewart and Barry Manilow are among the many artists paying tribute to legendary music exec Clive Davis, who passed away Monday. He was 94.
“Over here on E Street, we mourn the death of the great record man and close friend Clive Davis,” Springsteen, who Davis signed to Columbia Records in 1973, wrote on Instagram. “At 22 years old, he changed my life when he signed me to Columbia Records. He treated me with the same respect and kindness as a 22-year-old nobody as he did after all my success. A great man. All our prayers and love.”
Santana, who signed with Columbia in 1969, released a statement calling Davis “a visionary.”
“He could hear the intangible before anyone else could see it. He believed in Santana from the beginning, and years later he believed in us again,” he wrote. “That kind of faith is a beautiful blessing, and I will always be grateful.”
Davis was also responsible for bringing Santana to Arista Records in the ’90s, which resulted in his multi-Platinum, Grammy Award-winning album Supernatural.
“I thank Clive for his friendship, his trust, and his belief in Santana,” he added. “We celebrate his extraordinary journey and the legacy of joy, inspiration, and possibility that he leaves behind.”
Stewart, who released his The Great American Songbook albums on Davis’ J Records, called the music exec a “giant of a man in the music business” in a post on Instagram.
“I owe Clive so much,” he continued, noting Davis was the only one who believed he could sing “standards with conviction.”
“Other labels rejected the idea, and so The Great American Songbook was born, selling close to 40 million copies,” Stewart added. “We had some wonderful, unforgettable times together, but for now, Mr. Davis, it’s goodbye, my dear friend.”
Manilow, who signed to Columbia Records in 1969, wrote on X that his “heart is heavy with the loss of my friend Clive Davis.”
“For fifty years we worked together, created together, argued together, and celebrated together,” he shared. “Yes, some would say it was business. But to Clive, it never was. It was family. And I was honored to be a part of his. Thank you Clive. I wish we could do it all again.”

‘Reba McEntire: Songs from Annie Get Your Gun’ (MCA)
It’s been a quarter-century since Reba McEntire made her celebrated Broadway debut in Irving Berlin’s Annie Get Your Gun.
Though her five-month run replacing Bernadette Peters in 2001 remains her only stint on the Great White Way so far, there are a couple new souvenirs you can experience.
“I took my final bow in Annie Get Your Gun on Broadway 25 years ago today,” Reba posted on Monday. “During my run, I recorded two songs that were released on a promotional CD and we were finally able to get those songs released on streaming services.”
Meanwhile, Reba continues marking 50 years as a recording artist with monthly music capsules showcasing a new song alongside similarly themed catalog tracks. The latest, Hurt Like That, came out in May, along with the accompanying The Rise of Reba playlist.

Muni Long gets vulnerable on her new song, “Richest.”
“Over the last year, I learned wealth looks different than I thought…I’d like to share with you everything I gained when I stopped measuring my life by what I lost,” she wrote in an Instagram post teasing an announcement.
She followed the message with the release of the new song. “This song is pure love to me. Being rich can apply to ANYTHING. The love for your mother or father, your significant other, your children, your friends…that’s what I like most about it,” she wrote on Instagram.
“Richest” serves as Muni’s first new music since 2025’s “Delulu.”
She had been scheduled to join Brandy and Monica last year for their Boy is Mine tour but dropped out due to severe health issues.

(NEW YORK) — The Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC) has surpassed 1,000 Ebola cases as the country’s deadly outbreak continues.
The DRC Ministry of Health reported 1,003 confirmed cases and 254 confirmed deaths as of Sunday evening. There are 365 patients either hospitalized or in isolation, according to the ministry.
Contact tracing remains a concern, officials said. The Ministry of Health said only 58% of identified contacts have been followed up with, far below the desired 90% to 95% target needed to contain the outbreak, according to the World Health Organization (WHO).
Bonheur Baeni, project manager for the Ebola emergency for the humanitarian NGO CARE, told ABC News that there has been a great amount of misinformation in affected communities that has made it difficult to contain the virus.
“It is in fact among the great challenges, the misinformation that is characterized by rumors, rumors that circulate on social networks, rumors that also circulate mouth-to-mouth,” he told ABC News in French. “It really makes the population resistant.”
Baeni said the group is working with the Ministry of Health and other partners to engage with the community and answer questions that people have. They are also working with trusted leaders within the community to help combat the misinformation.
“You see that it creates a climate of trust,” Baeni said. “It creates a confidence climate because it’s their brother, it’s a member of the community.”
The Ministry of Health wrote on X that “response teams continue active investigations, epidemiological surveillance, and prevention actions in affected areas.”
Health officials added that eight more people have recovered from Ebola, bringing the total number of recoveries to 100.
Meanwhile, UNICEF warned on Monday that an estimated 2.95 million children and adolescents aged 18 and under — representing 54% of the population in 31 affected health zones — are at risk from Ebola and the breakdown of essential services in the eastern DRC.
“Our teams in Ituri [province] have met children who have lost their mothers, and in some cases both parents, to Ebola,” Catherine Russell, UNICEF executive director, said in a statement. “Children are trying to make sense of the threat while surrounded by rumors and online misinformation.”
UNICEF said children and adolescents make up about 15% of confirmed Ebola cases and more than 25% of confirmed deaths in the eastern DRC as of June 19, and that children and adolescents with confirmed Ebola are almost twice as likely to die as adults
In Ituri province, which is the epicenter of the outbreak, dozens of children have been orphaned, according to UNICEF. The agency said that 135 of those children are receiving support, including psychosocial care.
In neighboring Uganda, there are at least 20 confirmed cases, in large part linked to cross-border transmission from the DRC, and two deaths, according to UNICEF. The agency said children have also been affected in Uganda, with at least one child who has tested positive and 19 children under quarantine monitoring.
“Children are especially vulnerable because they depend on caregivers and cannot distance themselves from a sick parent or sibling in the same way that an adult can,” Russell said. “To better protect children, we need sustained access, and the resources needed to reach every affected community.”
