War Child has announced the return of its Secret 7″ series, which offers exclusive vinyl singles to raise money for the charity.
The 2026 Secret 7″ lineup includes Glass Animals’ “Take a Slice,” The Last Dinner Party’s “Let’s Do It Again!” and Bastille’s “Hope for the Future,” among others.
Only 100 copies of each single will be available, and every piece will be housed in its own unique record sleeve with completely different artwork. You can actually submit your own artwork to be featured on a sleeve now through June 1.
Once all the sleeves are ready, the records will go on display starting Aug. 18 at an exhibit in London and will go up for auction online.
“The artists’ identities and the track inside remain a mystery until the record is in the hands of the buyer,” War Child explains. “It’s anonymous by design and fans bid for the record sleeve they love, not the name behind it, with the track and visual artist behind the sleeves revealed once the auction ends.”
War Child supports children affected by conflict around the world. The organization also just put out the HELP(2) charity compilation in March, which includes contributions from The Last Dinner Party, Arctic Monkeys, Damon Albarn of Blur and Gorillaz, Portishead’s Beth Gibbons, Depeche Mode, beabadoobee, Fontaines D.C., Wet Leg and Foals.

Mgk gave the live debut to an unreleased collaboration with Limp Bizkit’s Fred Durst during a show in Perth, Australia, on Wednesday.
“I called up my friend Fred Durst, I said, ‘Sir, drop something on this,'” mgk told the crowd, as seen in fan-shot footage. “What he dropped, the rest is history.”
Mgk also teased the track in an Instagram Story, writing, “An unreleased song has no business going this hard.”
“Coming this month…,” he added.
Mgk’s Australia tour supports his latest album, 2025’s lost americana. He’ll launch a U.S. tour in May.
Fleetwood Mac announced that Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers guitarist Mike Campbell and Crowded House’s Neil Finn would be joining them on tour, replacing longtime member Lindsey Buckingham, who had been fired from the group.
Buckingham’s firing had been rumored days earlier, with reports claiming Buckingham and the band had disagreed over their long-planned tour. Buckingham later filed a lawsuit over his ousting, although the case was later settled.
Fleetwood Mac would go on to launch a tour with Campbell and Finn in October of 2018, with dates running until November 2019. It was the band’s last tour.
Social Distortion has premiered a new song called “Partners in Crime,” a track off the band’s upcoming album, Born to Kill.
“‘Partners in Crime’ is about finding your voice, especially if you weren’t allowed or if it didn’t matter,” frontman Mike Ness says in a statement. “And finding comfort in others who share the same sentiment, angst and rage. Strength in unity.”
Born to Kill, which also includes the previously released title track, is due out May 8. It marks the first Social D album in 15 years and their first since Ness was diagnosed with tonsil cancer in 2023.
Social Distortion will launch a U.S. tour in support of Born to Kill in August.

Alysa Liu’s gold medal-winning performance at the Olympics has inspired millions of people, but it turns out some of those people just happen to be big pop stars — and we’re not just talking about Taylor Swift.
In her interview with Perfect magazine, Sabrina Carpenter was asked who or what excites her about the future. She says, in part, “I’ll tell you who I love … that ice skater, Alysa [Liu]. She gives me hope. I’ve felt so inspired by hearing her speak.”
“I think there’s people like that who just feel so articulate, so self-assured and aren’t looking at so many eyes on them as a reason to play it safe but really a reason to just be exactly who they are,” Sabrina continues. “She’s a perfect example of that.”
And Alysa’s signature striped-hair look has also inspired KATSEYE. The group tells Voguemagazine that when they play Coachella Friday, they’ll all be sporting various mixtures of blond and black hair, with only group member Yoonchae Jeung being completely blond. Megan Skiendiel tells Vogue that her take on it is an attempt to mimic Alysa’s hair.
“We decided to do my own version of her shine lines, which almost looks like you just splashed some bleach on my hair,” says Megan. “I actually got to meet Alysa right after dyeing my hair like this, and I loved that we really look like twins.”
At a recent awards show, Taylor, who is one of Alysa’s favorite artists, told the skater, “I was so inspired by how much diligence, work, and love you have for what you do.”

Robert Plant has treated music fans to a new performance of a Led Zeppelin classic.
The Rock & Roll Hall of Famer appeared on The Late Show with Stephen Colbert Wednesday with his band Saving Grace, and they performed two songs.

“Ramble On” is one of several Zeppelin songs Plant and Saving Grace have been performing during their live shows. Others include “Four Sticks,” “Friends” and “The Rain Song.”
Robert Plant and Saving Grace, with singer Suzi Dian, wrapped their North American tour Tuesday at the Cathedral of St. John the Divine in New York City.

The story continues in Gilead, and this time, it’s being told by a younger generation.
The Testaments, a new Hulu series based on the 2019 novel of the same name by Margaret Atwood and set 15 years after the events of The Handmaid’s Tale, focuses on a group of teens who have grown up in the fictional dystopian society of Gilead as they navigate Aunt Lydia’s elite preparatory school for future wives.
“You’ll see how things change over time,” Ann Dowd, who reprises her role as Aunt Lydia in The Testaments, told ABC News. “What happens to these girls in this journey, this coming-of-age story? I think you’re going to find an entirely different experience than you did with ‘The Handmaid’s Tale.'”
Joining Dowd in the new series are Chase Infiniti as Agnes (previously known as Hannah in The Handmaid’s Tale), Lucy Halliday as Daisy, Rowan Blanchard as Shunammite, Mattea Conforti as Becka and Brad Alexander as Garth.
Infiniti began production on The Testaments after working on director Paul Thomas Anderson’s One Battle After Another, crediting the Oscar-winning film with sharpening her experience in ensemble work.
“I feel very grateful that I get to work with another ensemble, let alone a group of girls who are around my age,” she told Good Morning America at the premiere of The Testaments in Los Angeles on March 31. “I felt so grateful to have been a part of that, because we poured so much love into each other — we poured so much love into the story.”
Elisabeth Moss, who starred as June Osborne in all five seasons of The Handmaid’s Tale before the series wrapped last year, also appears in the new show.
“She loves this project so much and poured so much into it,” Infiniti said, adding that Moss extended her hand to the cast to let them know that if they needed anything, she was there for them.
The first three episodes of The Testaments are available to stream now on Hulu. New episodes will arrive every Wednesday through May 27.
The Walt Disney Co. is the parent company of ABC News, Disney+ and Hulu.

If you were hoping *NSYNC might get themselves together in time to celebrate the 30th anniversary of their debut album next year, Joey Fatone has officially shot down your hopes.
In an interview with ET, Joey says, “People are always asking, ‘Is the group getting together? Is anything going to happen?'” He then said, “Do I see anything in the near future? No, I don’t.”
Joey acknowledges that all five members, including Justin Timberlake, had a Zoom call recently, and the discussion was, “Do we see anything [about a reunion], or anything like that?” And it’s like, ‘No.'”
“Would I want to do it? Yes. Some of the other guys? I’m sure. Some of the other guys? Maybe not. I can only speak for myself,” he continued. He was quick to say that it’s not Justin Timberlake’s fault.
“It is a group thing,” he explained. “Because I think all of us have that doubt as well. I know it sounds crazy but we also have even the doubt of, ‘What happens if it sucks? What happens if it ain’t good?'”
Joey, at least, will continue to perform because he loves it. “I’ll keep doing it until the day I die,” he vows.
Then, facing the camera, he addressed his bandmates: “I’m ready to go. So whenever you guys are ready.”
Joey’s new documentary, Boy Band Confidential, premieres next week on Investigation Discovery.

(NEW YORK) — Admitted Gilgo Beach, New York, serial killer Rex Heuermann was linked to one of his victims, Megan Waterman, by the distinct pattern on a Bounty paper towel, according to the district attorney.
In court on Wednesday, Heuermann changed his plea to guilty and admitted to the murders of eight women: Waterman, Melissa Barthelemy, Amber Costello, Sandra Costilla, Valerie Mack, Jessica Taylor, Maureen Brainard-Barnes and Karen Vergata.
Prosecutors said the New York City architect targeted sex workers, strangled them and dumped their bodies near Long Island’s Gilgo Beach from 1993 to 2010.
“This was his obsession,” Suffolk County District Attorney Ray Tierney told ABC News. “With his internet searches and his thought process, this was what was driving him.”
A piece of evidence that would’ve been presented had the case gone to trial is a rolled up Bounty paper towel recovered from Waterman’s mouth, Tierney said.
Waterman, 22, went missing in June 2010 and her remains were found in December 2010 in Gilgo Beach, according to Suffolk County police.
The paper towel had a particular pattern that Bounty created specifically for the box store BJ’s Wholesale Club, and that pattern was only in circulation in 2010, Tierney said.
When searching Heuermann’s home, investigators found a BJ’s receipt for Bounty paper towels, and “the SKU [stock-keeping unit] number was for a Bounty paper towel with that same pattern,” Tierney said.
“And so we were able to show that this Bounty paper towel was purchased by the defendant,” Tierney said. “And inside his desk drawer was a square of that same paper towel that matched perfectly and that he had kept in his office since 2010.”
That paper towel square was a “memento” for Heuermann, Tierney said, adding that prosecutors “would have utilized [that] at trial to link him to the commission of that particular murder.”
Heuermann was arrested in 2023 and initially pleaded not guilty to killing seven women. He was set to go to trial in September.
On Wednesday, Heuermann agreed to serve three consecutive life sentences followed by four consecutive sentences of 25 years-to-life, prosecutors said. His sentencing is set for June 17.
Tierney said, from his “outside observation” as a prosecutor, Heuermann, 62, wanted to change his plea because “I think he was done.”
“He wanted this to come to a conclusion — that’s just my impression,” he said.
Waterman’s daughter, Liliana Waterman, told reporters on Wednesday that she accepts the guilty plea and is “very, very thankful.”
Part of the plea arrangement requires Heuermann to cooperate with the FBI’s Behavioral Analysis Unit.
“I think it’s very important,” Tierney said.
“This is clinical,” he said. “So I think they’re going to, hopefully, gain insight into him, his motivations, you know, what created this need or desire in him. And hopefully we’ll gain insight, you know, for cases going forward.”
