The Wanted is back with new music.

The British boy band released their first new single in seven years on Wednesday, an uplifting track called “Rule the World.” In the video for the song, we see Tom, Max, Siva, Nathan and Jay having just parachuted onto a beautiful shore. They all come together by the end for a dazzling fireworks display.

The guys recently announced that they were reuniting after going on hiatus in 2014. They’ll be releasing a greatest-hits album, Most Wanted — The Greatest Hits, on November 12, and will hit the road for a U.K. arena tour in March 2022.

Last month, The Wanted performed together at a London charity concert called Inside My Head.  It raised money for Stand Up to Cancer, as group member Tom Parker has been very publicly battling an inoperable brain tumor since last year.

He’s currently topping the charts with Justin Bieber and recently worked with Miley Cyrus, but now The Kid LAROI has crossed into alt-rock territory: He’s evidently working with Kevin Parker, aka Tame Impala.

Several photos of the two working together in the studio have showed up on LAROI’s Instagram Stories.  He also posted a snippet of a new song on Wednesday but it’s not clear if that song is related to what he was working on with Parker, who, like LAROI, is Australian.

In addition to making psychedelic Grammy-winning music as Tame Impala, Parker has also collaborated with The Weeknd, Travis Scott, Rihanna, Kanye West, Mark Ronson and Lady Gaga — he co-wrote and co-produced Gaga’s 2016 single “Perfect Illusion.”

LAROI is currently working on his debut album and earlier this month, he tweeted, “I am making the best music I have ever made in my life right now. I love you all and I cannot wait for you to hear it.“

One of the special moments in Alicia Keys‘ The Untold Story docuseries is when she and 11-year-old son Egypt watch a clip of him accompanying her on piano as she sang “Raise a Man” at an awards show in 2019.

The 15-time Grammy winner says she became very emotional, with tears of joy.

“I’m not the crying type, I’m really not,” Alicia tells People. “[But] you get so sensitive just [thinking] about how life goes on, and seeing him next to me and remembering that moment. That moment was the first time that he performed with me on stage, and I remember being completely so wrapped up in him being okay because I asked him to do it.”

Egypt first resisted the request to perform with his mother, but eventually agreed.

“I was so nervous for him that I remember at midnight the night before the show, I realized I hadn’t even practiced,” Alicia said. “I remember all of this and I’m sitting there watching it with him and just…how I feel about him and seeing his growth and watching him go on stage and just completely own — it just hit me like a ton of bricks.”

Egypt is the oldest of two boys Alicia has with husband Swizz Beatz. She says he’s full of talent.

“He’s definitely a natural,” she said. “He’s been a natural since he was a baby, and he loves it, and I’m glad that he loves it. … He’s a lot like me. He’s the life of the party, he’s the one that kind of brings everyone together. He looks out for everyone, he’s that guy. And I love that about him.”

Keys, who turned 40 in January, celebrated her 11th wedding anniversary with Swizz, 43, in July.

Fans of The Voice have long been accustomed to Blake Shelton’s witty quips and good-natured jabs at his fellow coaches, which is why it seemed a little out of character when he offered some sympathy to Ariana Grande during this week’s episode.

He even offered an emotional Ariana a box of tissues as they embarked upon the Battle Rounds, which meant the coaches had to make some tough calls about which contestants get to stay and which must go home.

Blake says he blames his newfound sweeter side on his marriage to pop superstar and former The Voice coach Gwen Stefani.

“Look, I’m married now. I’m soft. I’m getting softer,” he joked, also offering Ariana — a first-time coach — some words of wisdom about the hard decisions that come with the gig.

“After this season you won’t ever need these again. You’ll get over it. You’ll become callous like us three,” he added, according to People.

Blake and Gwen got married back in July after dating for five years. The pair, who were married by Carson Daly, offered each other creative vows on the big day: For his part, Blake wrote a song for the occasion. Last week, he revealed in an interview on Late Night with Seth Meyers that fans will eventually get to hear that song, too, as it’s on the track list of a forthcoming deluxe version of his Body Language album.

Drake lived up to his title as the Toronto Raptors’ global ambassador by joining the television broadcast team for the Raptors’ pre-season home game against the Houston Rockets on Monday night.

“So good to be home,” Drizzy said, referring to the fact that due to the pandemic, the team has played “home” games for the past two seasons in Florida.

“Everything’s feeling great, looking great, so great to be around people again, see all these faces. I’m feeling in high spirits,” the Champagne Papi continued.

He also laughed about hosting a few of the players at his home during the off season, but not working out with them because he was exhausted from recording his Certified Lover Boy album. “I think I woke up in the pool that day from what I remember,” he joked.

As Toronto celebrated Canadian Thanksgiving Day on Monday, the four-time Grammy winner said, “I know the city’s watching tonight. I just want to send my love to everybody. You know, it was a tough fight, a tough fight for the last couple years…[I hope they’re doing] as well as possible given the circumstances.”

Drake added that he can’t wait to perform again for the home crowd at the Scotiabank Arena. The Raptors’ biggest fan brought his team good luck, as Toronto defeated Houston, 107-92.
