Danny Glover reveals Alzheimer’s diagnosis

July 1, 2026 by WDNY Radio

Danny Glover has publicly revealed he is one of the millions of Americans living with Alzheimer’s disease.

The 79-year-old actor rose to prominence in Lethal Weapon movies in the 1980s. He opened up to NBC News and People about his condition, saying he was diagnosed in 2023 and since then, his speech, movements and memories have gradually declined.

Even though some time has passed since his diagnosis, Glover told People, “I’m still not accepting in my mind all parts of it.”

“There are the moments that you keep remembering that validate the fact that you can remember stuff. And there are moments I’ll never forget,” he added.

ABC News has reached out to Glover’s representative for comment.

Alzheimer’s disease, the most common type of dementia, is a brain disorder that affects thinking, memory, and one’s behavior and abilities.

It’s characterized by symptoms such as short-term memory loss, problem-solving challenges and difficulty with everyday tasks, all of which may start appearing by the age of 60, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.

The condition is progressive, with nerve cell damage in the brain increasing over time.

Researchers estimate nearly 7 million people in the U.S. live with Alzheimer’s and the number of those impacted is expected to double by 2060.

Alzheimer’s is now the sixth-leading cause of death in adults 65 and older and the seventh-leading cause of death of American adults, the CDC notes.

There is currently no cure for Alzheimer’s disease but some medications and immunotherapies are available that may help slow down the progression of the condition, manage symptoms and improve quality of life for patients.

Iron Maiden to film Eddfest show after Paris concert cut short

July 1, 2026 by WDNY Radio

Iron Maiden will be filming their upcoming headlining performance at the band’s Eddfest concert on July 11 in Knebworth, England, after their show in Paris was cut short due to a power outage.

As previously reported, the Paris concert, which took place on June 22, was set to be filmed for a project documenting Maiden’s Run for Your Lives tour. However, the power in the venue went out in the middle of the show, which didn’t resume until an hour later. Between the delay and venue’s curfew, Maiden had to cut the show’s encore from the set.

With Eddfest, which celebrates Maiden’s 50th anniversary, the band intends to finish the film project they couldn’t in Paris.

“You all know what happened in Paris, we all know what happened in Paris, so we’re gonna finish it off at Knebworth,” says bassist Steve Harris in a statement. “We’ll see you there.”

“We’re not going to lose what we did in Paris but we’re going to add to it with some amazing stuff from Knebworth,” frontman Bruce Dickinson adds. “So Knebworth, be on ya best behaviour!!”

Explore New Hampshire’s Silver Sands Marina in Kenny Chesney’s new video

July 1, 2026 by WDNY Radio

The title track of Kenny Chesney’s upcoming 21st album, Silver Sands Marina, isn’t some mythical getaway — it’s a family-owned business in New Hampshire and it’s probably about to get a whole lot busier.

“When you hear the song, it’s so perfectly drawn, you almost can’t believe it’s real,” he says. “But, of course, it is a real place – located on Lake Winnipesaukee – where generations of families and friends have tied up their boats, checked in, enjoyed the water and being together. You can feel all the happiness and fun people have had there the moment you step on the property.”

Kenny traveled there to shoot the “Silver Sands Marina” music video outside the traditional tourist season, capturing performances near the pier, motel and marina.

“Like the song, there’s a sense this place can’t be real,” Kenny continues. “When you pull up, it’s even more wonderful than the pictures. You can feel people’s lives have played out here; kids who’ve met, grown up together, occasionally gotten married and brought their kids there; fishing trips and reunions. And, as my song suggests, the occasionally unexpected encounter where you meet someone who sees you for all that you are – even if it’s only for a moment.”

Silver Sands Marina arrives Sept. 25, featuring Kenny’s latest hit, “Carry On.”

This is real, this is me, I’m exactly where I’m supposed to be — to watch the new teaser trailer for Camp Rock 3.

Disney has released the second teaser trailer for the third film in the Camp Rock franchise. It finds the Jonas Brothers returning as the brothers of the fictional band Connect 3, and will premiere to Disney Channel on Aug. 13 and Disney+ the next day.

While the first trailer focused on the familiar faces of Joe Jonas, Kevin Jonas and Nick Jonas, this new teaser showcases the next generation of campers taking center stage. It also features a first look at the film’s new song “One Beat Away.”

Camp Rock 3 follows Connect 3 as they lose the opening act for their major reunion tour. The band returns to Camp Rock with the hope of discovering the next big thing.

“As campers vie for the chance to open for their favorite band, tensions rise, and friendships are tested, leading to unexpected alliances, revelations and romances,” according to an official synopsis.

New cast members in the third film include Liamani Segura, Malachi Barton, Lumi Pollack, newcomer Hudson Stone, Casey Trotter, Brooklynn Pitts, Ava Jean and Sherry Cola.

The trailer shows Segura’s Sage finding Mitchie Torres’ old songbook covered in dust.

“I’m gonna be Connect 3’s opening act, and nothing’s gonna throw me off my game,” Sage says before she’s knocked to the ground by Barton’s Fletch.

Veronica Rodriguez directs Camp Rock 3 from a script by Eydie Faye. The Jonas Brothers and Demi Lovato all executive produce the new film, although Lovato will not reprise her role of Mitchie. Wizards of Waverly Place star Maria Canals-Barrera is returning to portray Mitchie’s mother, Connie Torres.

16 children rescued from Ohio home where they were living in ‘deplorable conditions,’ officials say

July 1, 2026 by WDNY Radio

(VINTON COUNTY, Ohio) — Four people have been charged with child endangerment after 16 children were removed from a home in Ohio where officials say they were living in “deplorable conditions.”

Authorities executed a search warrant at the home in Hamden in Vinton County on Tuesday, where they say they found the children and four suspects inside.

Vinton County Prosecutor William Archer said this is not a case of human trafficking, but an “intra-family situation.”

The four suspects – Gary Siders Sr., 73; Christina Siders, 67; Gary Siders II, 36; and Elizabeth Siders, 33 – have each been charged with 16 counts of endangering children, a second-degree felony, according to officials. They pleaded not guilty during their arraignment Wednesday morning and their bond was set at $300,000 each.

The charges allege the four suspects abused the children, resulting in “serious physical harm.”

Ohio Attorney General Andy Wilson said the evidence in the case is “beyond comprehension.”

The children range in age from 1 ½ to 18, according to Wilson. He did not go into the nature of the injuries but said seven of the children were transported to the hospital on Tuesday, including two who were airlifted there.

Archer said the children are safe and officials are working to have them placed in temporary custody.

“They are currently in a good situation and are being protected,” he said.

July 1, 2026 by WDNY Radio

Following Sunday’s BET Awards, Soulja Boy shared an idea he’d like to bring to life. “Might start my own awards show and give it to rappers who never got they credit,” he wrote on X Tuesday. “NBA Youngboy, Chief Keef, Kodak Black, etc. no reason they never won a BET Award or a Grammy.”

Burna Boy’s collaboration with Shakira, “Dai Dai (FIFA World Cup Official Song 2026),” has topped the Billboard Global Excluding U.S. chart, making it the first World Cup anthem to reach #1.

A 2023 podcast interview of Lil Wayne discussing Verzuz was released Tuesday. In it, he said he has no interest in competing against anyone other than himself. “I’m too competitive and I wouldn’t wanna embarrass no one, and if I am competing against whoever I’m competing against, I will embarrass you,” he told DJ Drama. “If it’s the wrong type of situation on that Verzuz, you can end their careers … and that’s what I would do,” he said. “I don’t wanna be that guy.”

Tay Keith’s funeral reportedly took place Tuesday in Memphis. Footage of a flower arrangement reading “Tay” has surfaced online, while Sexyy Red shared a selfie video wearing an-all black outfit. BlocBoyJB and Turbo also posted a photo of themselves dressed for the occasion.

T.I.’s sons Domani Harris and King Harris may not believe Kill the King is their father’s final album, but T.I. says it is. “I think it’s their time to go ahead and speak for the generation and handle it and hold it down for the world,” he told ET of his children. “It’s time, that’s why the King’s Succession Tour is very important. You should get there and check us out. Me, Domani, King … you know, a passing of the torch, if you will.”

Bryan Adams declares Canada will never be the ’51st State’ on new song

July 1, 2026 by WDNY Radio

Wednesday is Canada Day, and Bryan Adams is celebrating with the release of a new patriotic song.

The Canadian rocker just released the track “51st State,” which appears to be a response to President Donald Trump’s suggestion that Canada should become part of the United States.

“Let me give it to you straight/ When you’re talking about my home/ You better show some respect/ Cuz up here we take care of our own,” Adams sings in the chorus. “So let me give you some advice mister/ You might have too much on your plate/ Go’n load us up with tariﬀs/ But we’ll never be the 51st State.”

“I wanted to write something about Canada because Canada is home,” says Adams. “There is more that binds us than divides us. This is a tribute to the pride and spirit of my fellow Canadians – the rest is just noise.”

“51st State” is now available via digital outlets and as a limited-editon colored vinyl 7-inch single.

There’s no word on whether the song is part of a future Bryan Adams album or just a standalone single. He released his last studio album, Roll With The Punches, in August.

Adams is set to launch a North American tour on July 24 in St. Louis, Missouri. A complete list of dates can be found at BryanAdams.com.
