This is a 'one off, two on, one off, two on,' so there's a lot of that," Cain said on the Rock & Roll High School podcast. "You're getting consumed getting to the gig, and then playing the gig. And then when we have four shows in a week, it's pretty grueling. We're doing 'evening with,' so it's two hours and 15 minutes every night. There's no support act, so it makes it doubly hard for Arnel [Pineda]."Cain announced he plans to leave Journey after the Final Frontier tour, which is set to end Nov. 28 in San Francisco. His departure will mark the end of a 45-year run that began with the band's 1981 album "Escape."Cain said he is ready to focus on his solo Christian music career but remains grateful for the group's fans."I think the only reason I'm still out here is the fans," Cain said. "It's time for me to close the chapter. It's a beautiful time to say goodbye. We are at 45 [years] this year. I'm honored to celebrate 45. After playing the stadium tour with Def Leppard last year, I just felt like we've done it. And we're just repeating ourselves."Cain said Journey's recent albums "don't seem to move the needle," which is why he turned to Christian music. "I can still sing a melody there and praise the Lord, and it still gets received. I'm leaving something behind, and I get to express my melodic and spiritual self there. So it's a good place for me to be right now."Meanwhile, guitarist Neal Schon said he is "nowhere near done" playing Journey's music. Schon has applied for a trademark for the name Journey Beyond, which would cover sound recordings, video releases, live performances and merchandise.389255roadhouse rock, jonathan cain, journey, farewell tour, update, final frontier, whats nextblogs/5-2026/389255-roadhouse-rock-jona-s.jpg2https://www.blackvibes.com/features/blogs/rdhouserockusa-roadhouse-rock-prince-paul-mccartney-1165535/features/blogs/rdhouserockusa-roadhouse-rock-prince-paul-mccartney-1165535/Posted by rdhouserockusa0https://www.blackvibes.com/features/blogs/rdhouserockusa-roadhouse-rock-prince-paul-mccartney-1165535/#commentsWed, 27 May 2026 14:21 GMTLONDON (AP) - Paul McCartney says he hopes to create a posthumous collaboration with Prince.Speaking on BBC Radio 2's "Tracks of My Years," McCartney praised Prince, citing "Kiss" as one of his favorite songs by the late musician."He took a lot from Hendrix, but he was a great player," McCartney said of Prince's guitar work. "It's just so simple. You can do a simple thing and it can sound simple but not great, but his sounds simply great. He's a wizard."McCartney recalled a conversation from a few years ago, after Prince's death. "I was with some guy... and he said, 'Have you heard Prince do 'Long and Winding Road'? I said, 'Well, no, that's one of my songs, I don't think he ever did it.'"According to setlist.fm, Prince performed "The Long and Winding Road" live 12 times, mostly during his 2007 residency at Club 3121 in Las Vegas.McCartney said he was surprised to hear a recording of Prince's version. He noted that Prince made the song "kind of rocky" and added "some really good guitar on it." Hearing Prince's take inspired McCartney to consider a duet. "It's really great, so I'm going to ask them [for permission to use it]. Because I could make it into something really good."If approved, a McCartney-Prince duet could be released. Prince's version of "While My Guitar Gently Weeps" has been widely praised, and fans may have another collaboration to look forward to.389243roadhouse rock, prince, paul mccartney, posthumous duet, duet, long and winding roadblogs/5-2026/389243-roadhouse-rock-prin-s.jpg2https://www.blackvibes.com/features/blogs/rdhouserockusa-roadhouse-rock-night-ranger-new-dates-364595/features/blogs/rdhouserockusa-roadhouse-rock-night-ranger-new-dates-364595/Posted by rdhouserockusa0https://www.blackvibes.com/features/blogs/rdhouserockusa-roadhouse-rock-night-ranger-new-dates-364595/#commentsTue, 26 May 2026 15:27 GMTNight Ranger, the 1980s rock group known for hits like "Sister Christian," has added new dates to its 2026 U.S. tour.

What about Nirvana's "Drain You" or Whitney Houston's "I Wanna Dance With Somebody (Who Loves Me)" as stripped-down, emotional ballads?Over the weekend, Cuomo uploaded more than a dozen covers to YouTube under the playlist title "randum cuverz." The uploads, marked as private, appear to have been recorded in 2018 and 2019. The collection opens with a cover of Radiohead's 1992 single "Creep," with Cuomo delivering a vulnerable, unadorned version.Cuomo then moves to a quick, acoustic version of Andr 3000's "Hey Ya" from Outkast's 2003 album "Speakerboxxx/The Love Below." He adds his own style through layered vocals and a playful take on the "lend me some sugar" line.Other songs include nearly a minute of Green Day's "When I Come Around," a few minutes of Nirvana's "Drain You" and a rough take on "Lithium." Cuomo also covers Dolly Parton's "Jolene," adding a sense of longing to the vocals in one of the more fully arranged tracks.Unexpected covers in the playlist include a straightforward take on Michael Jackson's "Billie Jean," complete with a falsetto and signature yelp, and a somber version of Harry Nilsson's "Without You." Cuomo also records a light, indie pop cover of Whitney Houston's "I Wanna Dance With Somebody (Who Loves Me)," a brief rendition of Post Malone and Quavo's "Congratulations," and Sam Hunt's "Body Like a Back Road."Some covers, such as the Eagles' "Hotel California," Metallica's "Enter Sandman," and Guns N' Roses' "Sweet Child O' Mine," seem more expected for Cuomo. He also performs Morgan Evans' "Country Outta My Girl" and ends the list with a 2021 piano sonata by Schumann.As of Monday, Cuomo had not commented on the uploads, and a spokesperson for Weezer did not respond to a request for comment.It is not clear if these covers will receive an official release. Cuomo has previously shared home demos, including "Alone: The Home Recordings of Rivers Cuomo" in 2007 and two follow-up collections in 2008 and 2010.Weezer is set to begin "The Gathering" tour this fall with the Shins and Silversun Pickups, starting Sept. 8 at Golden 1 Center in Sacramento.389235roadhouse rock, rivers cuomo, weezer, covers, youtube, videoblogs/5-2026/389235-roadhouse-rock-rive-s.jpg2https://www.blackvibes.com/features/blogs/rdhouserockusa-roadhouse-rock-kansas-deep-purple-174315/features/blogs/rdhouserockusa-roadhouse-rock-kansas-deep-purple-174315/Posted by rdhouserockusa0https://www.blackvibes.com/features/blogs/rdhouserockusa-roadhouse-rock-kansas-deep-purple-174315/#commentsFri, 22 May 2026 14:28 GMTKansas announces 2026 fall tour dates; summer shows with 38 Special and Deep PurpleKansas will launch a headline tour in fall 2026, beginning Sept. 29 in York, Pennsylvania, and ending Nov. 14 in Lansdowne, Pennsylvania.

The film will focus on Joel's early career, told from the perspective of his former manager, Irwin Mazur.Producers have secured the rights to Mazur's life story and those of Jon Small. Small played drums with Joel in the late 1960s band the Hassles before the two formed the group Attila. Attila disbanded after Joel began an affair with Small's wife. She later divorced Small and married Joel. In the documentary "And So It Goes," Joel described how the incident led him to attempt suicide, which left him in a coma for several days."I felt very, very guilty about it. They had a child. I felt like a homewrecker," Joel said in the film. "I was just in love with a woman and I got punched in the nose which I deserved. Jon was very upset. I was very upset."It is not clear if "Billy & Me" will cover this period in detail, but Joel has made his position clear."Since 2021, the parties involved have been officially notified that they do not possess Billy Joel's life rights and will not be able to secure the music rights required for this project," a representative for Joel said in a statement to Variety."Billy Joel has not authorized or supported this project in any capacity, and any attempt to move forward without it would be both legally and professionally misguided," the statement said.389187roadhouse rock, billy joel, john ottman, biopic, unauthorized, blockedblogs/5-2026/389187-roadhouse-rock-bill-s.jpg2https://www.blackvibes.com/features/blogs/rdhouserockusa-roadhouse-rock-ann-wilson-nancy-wilson-20425/features/blogs/rdhouserockusa-roadhouse-rock-ann-wilson-nancy-wilson-20425/Posted by rdhouserockusa0https://www.blackvibes.com/features/blogs/rdhouserockusa-roadhouse-rock-ann-wilson-nancy-wilson-20425/#commentsTue, 19 May 2026 14:20 GMTSibling relationships can be complicated, and fame can make them more challenging, Heart singer Ann Wilson said during a recent interview."She and I have a delicate relationship," Wilson said of her sister and bandmate Nancy Wilson during an appearance on the "Lovett or Leave It" podcast. "When she does something that makes me mad or I do something that makes her angry, there's a way that we know how to deal with it now where we can actually talk it out like grown-ups."Wilson said she and Nancy always shared a close musical bond."Nancy and I grew up as small children learning how to play music together and that was a bonding thing that we took on as children," Wilson said. "Where most kids were outside playing with dolls or playing horses in the grass, we were upstairs playing guitars."Wilson said she and her sister haven't always communicated well in the past, but that's changed. Now, they talk through their disagreements instead of ignoring them."[Sweeping things] under the rug never works," Wilson said. "[Tension] just builds. Gets more and more and more ugly."Heart finished their Royal Flush tour in March. The band recently played a three-song set at the Grammy Museum in Los Angeles, where their debut album "Dreamboat Annie" was inducted into the Grammy Hall of Fame. Ann Wilson is also making appearances at screenings of her new documentary, "In My Voice," in locations across the country.389179roadhouse rock, ann wilson, nancy wilson, heart, sisters, relationship, classic rockblogs/5-2026/389179-roadhouse-rock-ann--s.jpg2https://www.blackvibes.com/features/blogs/rdhouserockusa-roadhouse-rock-dennis-locorriere-dr-hook-2013195/features/blogs/rdhouserockusa-roadhouse-rock-dennis-locorriere-dr-hook-2013195/Posted by rdhouserockusa0https://www.blackvibes.com/features/blogs/rdhouserockusa-roadhouse-rock-dennis-locorriere-dr-hook-2013195/#commentsMon, 18 May 2026 14:16 GMTDennis Locorriere, the lead singer and guitarist for Dr. Hook, died Saturday. He was 76.The band announced Locorriere's death in a statement posted on its website."It is with great sadness that we announce the passing of Dennis Locorriere, who, after a long and courageous battle with kidney disease, passed away peacefully surrounded by his loved ones on May 16, 2026," the statement said. "Dennis faced his illness with strength, dignity and resilience throughout, and remained deeply cherished by all who knew him. He will be remembered for his warmth, love, and the lasting impact he had on those around him."Locorriere was born June 13, 1949, in New Jersey. In 1968, George Cummings, Ray Sawyer and Billy Francis recruited him to form a new group. The band became known as Dr. Hook and the Medicine Show, later shortened to Dr. Hook.The group landed its first record contract in 1970 after appearing in the Dustin Hoffman film "Who Is Harry Kellerman and Why Is He Saying Those Terrible Things About Me?"Dr. Hook became known for its country pop-rock sound and found success throughout the 1970s. Hits included "Sylvia's Mother," "The Cover of Rolling Stone," "Only Sixteen," "Sharing the Night Together," and "When You're in Love with a Beautiful Woman." The band's final Top 10 hit, "Sexy Eyes," came out in 1980."We started, we were a bar band. We were playing whatever it took to keep us from being killed," Locorriere said in a 2015 interview with 100% Rock Magazine. "Country music, anything. People would come up and say, 'Do you know how to play... [such and such]?' and we'd say, 'Yes, we do.' That's what you did. Then we went out on the road, had some success, supported a lot of different bands like Alice Cooper, Kiss, Sly & the Family Stone, Blues Festivals, Frank Zappa, and the Eagles. We had to fit everywhere and we did. We were that kind of band."Dr. Hook held a farewell tour in 1985. Locorriere later launched a solo career and kept rights to the Dr. Hook name, touring under it regularly. He released 14 studio albums-11 with Dr. Hook and three solo.Songs written or co-written by Locorriere were also recorded by artists including Bob Dylan, Willie Nelson, Waylon Jennings, Jerry Lee Lewis and Olivia Newton-John.389171roadhouse rock, dennis locorriere, dr hook, death,blogs/5-2026/389171-roadhouse-rock-denn-s.jpg2https://www.blackvibes.com/features/blogs/rdhouserockusa-roadhouse-rock-stevie-ray-vaughan-weezer-545135/features/blogs/rdhouserockusa-roadhouse-rock-stevie-ray-vaughan-weezer-545135/Posted by rdhouserockusa0https://www.blackvibes.com/features/blogs/rdhouserockusa-roadhouse-rock-stevie-ray-vaughan-weezer-545135/#commentsMon, 18 May 2026 14:14 GMTThe Library of Congress has selected 25 recordings for inclusion in its National Recording Registry for 2026. This year's selections feature Weezer's self-titled debut album, often called "The Blue Album," and Stevie Ray Vaughan and Double Trouble's "Texas Flood."Each year, the National Recording Registry honors recordings that have cultural, historical or aesthetic importance to the nation's recorded sound heritage. Other 2026 entries include Taylor Swift's "1989," Beyonc 's "Single Ladies (Put a Ring on It)" and the Charlie Daniels Band's "The Devil Went Down to Georgia."The registry now holds more than 600 recordings, ranging from historic speeches to popular music releases.Stevie Ray Vaughan's "Texas Flood" With the release of "Texas Flood" in 1983, Vaughan became known as a leading guitar player of the decade. The album pushed him beyond the Austin, Texas, blues scene and brought national attention. The Library of Congress statement describes the album's slower songs, including "Texas Flood" and "Lenny," as highlighting Vaughan's unique guitar tone, shaped by heavy strings and specific amplifier settings. The statement also notes tributes to Jimi Hendrix, Buddy Guy and Howlin' Wolf on the album. "Rude Mood," the album's fastest song, stands out for its energy and precision.Weezer's "Blue Album" Weezer's debut arrived in 1994 during the rise of alternative rock. Produced by Ric Ocasek of the Cars, the album's sound stood out for its power-pop hooks and sense of humor, offering a different style from grunge bands of the time. The Library of Congress describes it as "a new nerdy geek-rock charm" and calls it an "essential classic" of alternative rock. The album features hits including "Buddy Holly," "Say It Ain't So" and "Undone - The Sweater Song."Other 2026 Additions This year's additions also include:- Spike Jones and His City Slickers, "Cocktails for Two" (1944) - P rez Prado and His Orchestra, "Mambo No. 5" (1950) - Ruth Brown, "Teardrops From My Eyes" (1950) - Kaye Ballard, "Fly Me to the Moon (In Other Words)" (1954) - Paul Anka, "Put Your Head on My Shoulder" (1959) - Oliver Nelson, "The Blues and the Abstract Truth" (1961) - Ray Charles, "Modern Sounds in Country and Western Music" (1962) - The Byrds, "Turn!

"During B C's time off I scheduled a non-life threatening surgical procedure," Bloom wrote. "I am on the mend, but the recovery is taking a little longer than expected. Kasim Sulton will be standing in for me for a few shows."Bloom did not say how many shows he will miss. Blue Oyster Cult last performed Feb. 26 on the Rock Legends Cruise. The band is scheduled to resume touring May 16 in Oroville, California, with dates planned through the summer and fall.Sulton, who will fill in for Bloom, played bass and sang backing vocals with Blue Oyster Cult from 2012 to 2017. He is also known for his work with Utopia, where he sang and played on the 1979 hit "Set Me Free." Sulton has also performed with Joan Jett, Meat Loaf and the New Cars. He released his solo album "Kasim 2021" in 2021.Sulton is also set to tour with Todd Rundgren on the Damned If I Do tour, which begins June 11 in St. Charles, Illinois.

Their last album of all-new material was "Songs of Experience," released in 2017. The band has also released two surprise EPs in the meantime.Bono, the Edge and Adam Clayton performed "Street of Dreams" with Larry Mullen Jr. on top of a school bus decorated by Mexican artist Chavis M rmol. This was only Mullen's second major appearance since undergoing neck surgery, which forced him to miss the band's 2023-2024 Las Vegas residency, "U2:UV Achtung Baby Live at Sphere."U2 shared a lyric from the new song on social media: "Justice an obsession, love is a procession down the street of dreams."During Mullen's absence, Bram van den Berg filled in on drums for the Las Vegas shows. Van den Berg was also on stage when U2 was honored at the Ivor Novello Awards in London last summer. The band's two EPs were released around religious holidays: "Days of Ash" arrived on Ash Wednesday in February, and "Easter Lily" came out on Easter in April."It was difficult being away because of injury," Mullen told the BBC. "So I'm thrilled to be back in a creative environment, even if I'm not 100% there ... When I was away from the band, I missed it, but I didn't realize how much I missed it."U2's run at Sphere in Las Vegas was originally set for five nights but expanded to 40 shows, with estimated revenue of $256 million. The band later released a concert film, "V-U2: An Immersive Concert Film at Sphere Las Vegas." U2 is not scheduled to tour this summer.389152roadhouse rock, u2, street of dreams, album, 2026, coming soon2https://www.blackvibes.com/features/blogs/rdhouserockusa-roadhouse-rock-final-frontier-journey-1277395/features/blogs/rdhouserockusa-roadhouse-rock-final-frontier-journey-1277395/Posted by rdhouserockusa0https://www.blackvibes.com/features/blogs/rdhouserockusa-roadhouse-rock-final-frontier-journey-1277395/#commentsTue, 12 May 2026 14:18 GMTJourney has added 40 new North American dates to its Final Frontier farewell tour, extending the run into late 2026. The new leg starts Sept. 12 in Los Angeles and ends Nov. 28 in San Francisco."The energy has been incredible every night," Journey founder and guitarist Neal Schon said in a statement. "Seeing these crowds sing these songs with us after all these years has been powerful. We're excited to bring The Final Frontier Tour to even more cities this fall."This tour features only Journey, without any opening acts. The band is playing longer sets that include both major hits, such as "Lights," "Faithfully," "Any Way You Want It," and "Don't Stop Believin'," along with lesser-known tracks like "Dead or Alive," "Chain Reaction," "Suzanne," and "Of a Lifetime" from their 1975 debut album."The fans have been incredible," frontman Arnel Pineda said in a statement. "Every night feels like a celebration, and we're excited to share that experience with even more cities."Before the tour began in February, Pineda told Rolling Stone that personal issues nearly led him to quit the band. "Back in 2024, I said to them, 'If you're planning to do a farewell tour, you better tell me, because my issues and my personal problems are getting more intense, and I don't know if I want to go with you,'" Pineda said. He told the band he wanted to retire because of his personal problems, but received no reply.Schon said the situation was complicated. "He sent a lot of messages that he was overwhelmed with his personal life and didn't know if he could do it. But we all signed contracts," Schon said. "Honestly, I'm signed up for the next two years. I'm ready for it. Whatever goes down, I'm ready to plow through it, survive, and float to the top. I hope that he feels better about things."Despite internal challenges, the band has continued to perform together. More dates are scheduled through 2027, and the location of the final show remains undecided.Pineda has publicly wished for former Journey singer Steve Perry to make an appearance during the farewell run. "I wish Steve Perry would make an appearance. He doesn't even have to sing. He can just take a bow with the guys," Pineda told Rolling Stone in February. "If he doesn't want to do it, I would respect that. But if he would do that, that would be such an amazing sight."A Perry appearance remains unlikely, but the songs he created with Journey continue to drive the live show.Here are Journey's upcoming 2026 tour dates:May 15 - Tampa, Fla., Benchmark International Arena May 16 - Jacksonville, Fla., VyStar Veterans Memorial Arena May 18 - Columbia, S.C., Colonial Life Arena May 20 - Charlotte, N.C., Spectrum Center May 21 - Greensboro, N.C., First Horizon Coliseum May 23 - Atlantic City, N.J., Jim Whelan Boardwalk Hall May 27 - State College, Pa., Bryce Jordan Center May 28 - Charlottesville, Va., John Paul Jones Arena May 30 - Knoxville, Tenn., Food City Center May 31 - Savannah, Ga., Enmarket Arena June 3 - Hampton, Va., Hampton Coliseum June 4 - Roanoke, Va., Berglund Center Coliseum June 6 - Worcester, Mass., DCU Center June 7 - Manchester, N.H., SNHU Arena June 10 - Buffalo, N.Y., KeyBank Center June 11 - Allentown, Pa., PPL Center June 13 - Cincinnati, Ohio, Heritage Bank Center June 14 - Grand Rapids, Mich., Van Andel Arena June 17 - Evansville, Ind., Ford Center June 18 - Fort Wayne, Ind., Allen County War Memorial Coliseum June 20 - Champaign, Ill., State Farm Center June 21 - Green Bay, Wis., Resch Center June 24 - Moline, Ill., Vibrant Arena at the MARK June 25 - Springfield, Mo., Great Southern Bank Arena June 27 - Tupelo, Miss., Cadence Bank Arena June 28 - Lafayette, La., CAJUNDOME July 1 - Corpus Christi, Texas, Hilliard Center Arena July 2 - Laredo, Texas, Sames Auto Arena July 6 - Lincoln, Neb., Pinnacle Bank Arena July 7 - Des Moines, Iowa, Casey's Center Sept. 12 - Los Angeles, Crypto.com Arena Sept. 14 - San Diego, Pechanga Arena San Diego Sept. 15 - Phoenix, Mortgage Matchup Center Sept. 17 - Stockton, Calif., Adventist Health Arena Sept. 19 - Portland, Ore., Veterans Memorial Coliseum Sept. 21 - Seattle, Climate Pledge Arena Sept. 24 - Edmonton, Alberta, Rogers Place Sept. 26 - Calgary, Alberta, Scotiabank Saddledome Sept. 27 - Saskatoon, Saskatchewan, SaskTel Centre Sept. 29 - Winnipeg, Manitoba, Canada Life Centre Oct. 2 - Grand Forks, N.D., Alerus Center Oct. 4 - St. Paul, Minn., Grand Casino Arena Oct. 5 - Chicago, United Center Oct. 8 - Tulsa, Okla., BOK Center Oct. 10 - San Antonio, Frost Bank Center Oct. 12 - Biloxi, Miss., Mississippi Coast Coliseum Oct. 13 - Birmingham, Ala., Legacy Arena at the BJCC Oct. 16 - Sunrise, Fla., Amerant Bank Arena Oct. 17 - Orlando, Kia Center Oct. 19 - Atlanta, State Farm Arena Oct. 21 - Nashville, Tenn., Bridgestone Arena Oct. 22 - Louisville, Ky., KFC Yum!

In a social media post, Metallica thanked fans, writing, "Over 90,000 of you packed in and trust us... we could feel it! We couldn't think of a better way to kick off this leg of the M72 World Tour."The band played 16 songs, opening with "Creeping Death" and closing with "Enter Sandman."Athens' Olympic Stadium typically seats about 75,000, but Metallica used a circular, in-the-round stage that allowed for more attendees by removing stage restrictions.Metallica's current tour has set attendance records at other venues. In August 2023, the band drew about 78,000 fans to each of two shows at SoFi Stadium in Los Angeles, surpassing Taylor Swift's attendance figures at that venue.The European leg of the M72 World Tour continues Wednesday, May 13, in Bucharest, Romania. Metallica will also launch their first concert residency at the Sphere in Las Vegas later this year, with performances scheduled from October through March 2027.389139roadhouse rock, metallica, attendance record, sell out, athens, olympic stadium M72 world tourblogs/5-2026/389139-roadhouse-rock-meta-s.jpg2https://www.blackvibes.com/features/blogs/rdhouserockusa-roadhouse-rock-red-hot-chili-peppers-warner-music-199975/features/blogs/rdhouserockusa-roadhouse-rock-red-hot-chili-peppers-warner-music-199975/Posted by rdhouserockusa0https://www.blackvibes.com/features/blogs/rdhouserockusa-roadhouse-rock-red-hot-chili-peppers-warner-music-199975/#commentsMon, 11 May 2026 09:54 GMTThe Red Hot Chili Peppers have sold the rights to their recorded music catalog to Warner Music Group in a deal valued at more than $300 million, according to The Hollywood Reporter.Warner Music Group acquired the catalog through a joint venture with Bain Capital. This partnership, announced in July 2023, has a total budget of $1.2 billion for catalog acquisitions. The $300 million spent on the Red Hot Chili Peppers is part of the $650 million Warner Music Group has already used to purchase various music catalogs, per its May 7 earnings report. The company has not disclosed details about the other catalogs it has acquired.Industry rumors about the Red Hot Chili Peppers seeking buyers for their recorded rights started in February. There is also speculation that Sony Music Group may acquire Hipgnosis, now known as Recognition Music Group, in a multibillion-dollar deal. If this occurs, the band's publishing rights could change ownership.The Red Hot Chili Peppers previously sold their songwriting catalog to Hipgnosis in 2021 for approximately $140 million.According to Billboard, the band owns its 13 studio albums and other releases issued by Warner Music Group in the United States, beginning with 1991's "Blood Sugar Sex Magik" through 2022's "Unlimited Love" and "Return of the Dream Canteen." Billboard could not confirm if the band owned its first four studio albums, released by EMI in the U.S., which are also included in the sale. It is also unclear whether the deal includes name, image and likeness rights for the band members.Billboard estimates the Red Hot Chili Peppers' master recording catalog generates about $26 million in annual revenue, with most of that coming from Warner Music Group's portion of the catalog. Major albums in that group include "Blood Sugar Sex Magik" and "Californication."Warner Music Group and the Red Hot Chili Peppers have not commented publicly on further details of the agreement.389138roadhouse rock, red hot chili peppers, warner music, sold, catalog, musicblogs/5-2026/389138-roadhouse-rock-red--s.jpg2https://www.blackvibes.com/features/blogs/rdhouserockusa-roadhouse-rock-bryan-adams-billion-views-345305/features/blogs/rdhouserockusa-roadhouse-rock-bryan-adams-billion-views-345305/Posted by rdhouserockusa0https://www.blackvibes.com/features/blogs/rdhouserockusa-roadhouse-rock-bryan-adams-billion-views-345305/#commentsThu, 7 May 2026 14:25 GMTBryan Adams has joined YouTube Music's Billion Views Club for the second time, this time with "(Everything I Do) I Do It For You."The Canadian singer-songwriter reached one billion views with the performance video for the 1991 ballad, which was featured in the film "Robin Hood: Prince of Thieves," starring Kevin Costner.After its release, "(Everything I Do) I Do It For You" became a major hit. It is one of four Adams songs to reach No. 1 on the Billboard Hot 100, remaining at the top for seven weeks - the longest run at No. 1 in his career.The song broke records in the United Kingdom, topping the Official U.K. Singles Chart for 16 consecutive weeks. No other song in chart history has stayed at No. 1 longer."(Everything I Do) I Do It For You" is the lead single from Adams' album "Waking Up the Neighbours," which also reached No. 1 on the Official U.K. Albums Chart and the ARIA Chart, and peaked at No. 6 on the Billboard 200 in the U.S."Robin Hood: Prince of Thieves" was the second-highest-grossing film of 1991, earning $390 million at the box office. It trailed only "Terminator 2: Judgment Day," which took in $520 million that year.Adams first entered the YouTube Billion Views Club with his 1993 ballad "Please Forgive Me."Adams co-wrote "(Everything I Do) I Do It For You" with Robert "Mutt" Lange and Michael Kamen.

"SPLAT!" will be Deep Purple's 24th studio album and their first since 2024's "=1." Bob Ezrin produced the new album, marking his sixth consecutive collaboration with the group since 2013's "Now What?!"According to a press release, singer Ian Gillan developed the album's concept. "Rather than treating the end [of the world] as destruction, the album imagines it as transformation," Gillan said. "SPLAT! explores the end of humanity not in any crude apocalyptic sense but as a metamorphosis beyond physical existence."Gillan said the album's music revisits Deep Purple's early 1970s sound. "I have to say, now we are very much back in with material that is compatible with 'Highway Star,' 'Smoke on the Water,' 'Lazy'-the dynamics, the balance, and the fun of the music we made from '69 to '73," he said."SPLAT!" will be available on vinyl, CD, cassette and as a limited-edition box set, which features exclusive live tracks from the band's 2024 tour and a bonus track called "Guinnesis." Fans can find details on the band's official website.Deep Purple will support the album with a world tour. The group plans at least 86 shows in 28 countries across three continents.Track list for "SPLAT!": 1. Arrogant Boy 2. Diablo 3. The Rider 4. The Lunatic 5. The Only Horse in Town 6. Sacred Land 7.

He was 79.Ligertwood's wife and agent, Shawn Brogan, announced his death Tuesday on social media."Alex passed peacefully in his sleep with his dog Bobo by his side," Brogan wrote. "Alex was loved by so many. If you knew him, you loved him. He touched many with his extraordinary voice. He was all heart and soul. His favorite thing in life was to make music, sing and share his gift. He performed his last show just two weeks ago. I'm grateful for that. He did it his way, on his terms, till the end. I will always love you, my sweet Alex."Ligertwood was born in Glasgow, Scotland. Early in his career, he played guitar and sang in local skiffle groups before joining the Jeff Beck Group and Brian Auger's Oblivion Express.Ligertwood joined Santana in 1979. He sang with the band during five different stints through 1994, including performances at the US Festival in 1982 and Live Aid in 1985. He sang lead on songs such as "All I Ever Wanted," "You Know That I Love You" and "Hold On." He also co-wrote tracks including "Brightest Star," "Make Somebody Happy" and "Somewhere in Heaven.""My idea of a vocalist is that he's a musician; his voice is his instrument," Ligertwood told spinterview.com in 2024. "Every song should have its own thing. Just like you can change the tones on a guitar, I can change the tone on my voice and sing the song the way it should be. I'm really into that, and using my voice as much as possible."Brian Auger, leader of Brian Auger's Oblivion Express, wrote on Facebook, "In all my years of music, I never heard anyone who possessed that kind of range or that effortless, carefree ability to soar through a melody. He didn't just sing songs; he lived them. The world feels much quieter today without his voice, and I will miss my friend more than words can say."Funeral arrangements were not immediately available.389102roadhouse rock, santana, alex ligertwood, singer, dies,blogs/5-2026/389102-roadhouse-rock-sant-s.jpg2https://www.blackvibes.com/features/blogs/rdhouserockusa-roadhouse-rock-eagles-sphere-687385/features/blogs/rdhouserockusa-roadhouse-rock-eagles-sphere-687385/Posted by rdhouserockusa0https://www.blackvibes.com/features/blogs/rdhouserockusa-roadhouse-rock-eagles-sphere-687385/#commentsMon, 4 May 2026 14:15 GMTThe Eagles will extend their residency at the Sphere in Las Vegas, adding six more shows to their schedule. The band announced two concerts in September and four in November. These additions will bring their total Sphere performances to 64 since the run began in September 2024, making it the longest-running residency in the venue's history.Tickets for the newly announced shows go on sale to the public May 15.Over the weekend, the Eagles performed at the New Orleans Jazz & Heritage Festival, marking their first concert outside the Sphere since 2024. The band ended their set early when their piano player suffered a medical issue, according to NOLA.com. As a result, they skipped the song "Desperado," a regular feature in their concerts for more than 50 years.The Eagles also released a deluxe edition of their 1975 album "One of These Nights" on Friday.

When combined, the images appear to merge the trio's faces, similar to the cover of Metallica's 2016 album "Hardwired... to Self-Destruct."Each piece features the band's name and the words "Foreign Tongues," aligning with previous reports about the album's title. The same words appeared on outdoor advertisements around the world on April 25, each featuring the band's lips and tongue logo in different languages.On Friday, the band shared a short clip of a new song on social media. The snippet opens with vocals similar to the 1969 Stones track "Gimme Shelter," then shifts to a guitar riff reminiscent of "Rock and a Hard Place" from the 1989 album "Steel Wheels.""Foreign Tongues" would be the first Rolling Stones album since 2023's "Hackney Diamonds" and their second since drummer Charlie Watts died in 2021.Andrew Watt produced the new album, as he did with "Hackney Diamonds." Watt has also worked with Ozzy Osbourne, Elton John, and Paul McCartney.While promoting "Hackney Diamonds" in 2023, Jagger told The New York Times the band had nearly finished work on another album. Keith Richards said the group wanted to make a new mark with drummer Steve Jordan after Watts' death.Reports in 2026 suggest the band has at least 10 songs ready for another project after "Foreign Tongues."The group began teasing the new album in early April with posters for a band named the Cockroaches, a name the Stones have used for secret shows. On April 11, select stores sold limited copies of a single called "Rough and Twisted" by the Cockroaches. Three days later, the Stones confirmed on social media that the song was theirs.In December 2026, a source close to the band said the Rolling Stones had canceled unannounced plans for a 2026 tour. Their most recent show was July 21, 2024, at the end of the Hackney Diamonds North American tour.389097roadhouse rock, rolling stones, foreign tongues, new music, album, 2026blogs/5-2026/389097-roadhouse-rock-roll-s.jpg2https://www.blackvibes.com/features/blogs/rdhouserockusa-lynyrd-skynyrd-fall-2026-tour-1799554/features/blogs/rdhouserockusa-lynyrd-skynyrd-fall-2026-tour-1799554/Posted by rdhouserockusa0https://www.blackvibes.com/features/blogs/rdhouserockusa-lynyrd-skynyrd-fall-2026-tour-1799554/#commentsThu, 30 Apr 2026 14:29 GMTLynyrd Skynyrd plans a busy year with a summer tour alongside Foreigner and a series of headlining shows in the fall. The second leg of the tour starts Sept. 3 in Green Bay, Wisconsin, and runs through Oct. 4 in Highland, California. Tickets are on sale. Details about shows and VIP packages are available at the band's official website. Before the fall dates, Lynyrd Skynyrd joins Foreigner for the Double Trouble Double Vision tour. Lead singer Johnny Van Zant said the band enjoyed sharing the stage with Foreigner in the past during a Canadian tour. "We were out with ZZ Top for a few years and wanted to try something different," Van Zant said. "My manager asked about Foreigner. Years ago, when Mick Jones and Lou Gramm were in the band, we did a Canadian run with them." Van Zant recalled some doubts about how the two bands would fit together. "They do a lot of love songs. How's that going to work with 'Saturday Night Special' and 'Gimme Three Steps?' But the tour went great. We got along well, and the shows were strong." He said the positive experience in Canada convinced him the pairing would work in the U.S. "Ticket sales have been good. We're looking forward to it. It's going to be a night of hits." Fans can expect to hear Lynyrd Skynyrd's classic songs. Van Zant said his approach to touring has changed over the years. "In the early days, I was drinking and partying.
