Peter Gabriel has released the fourth track from his upcoming album, o/i.

The latest is “Till Your Mind Is Shining,” with Gabriel noting, “To my ears it’s the closest I get to a pop song on this record.”

“It takes me back to my schooldays, in some ways, because before there was Genesis we were effectively trying to be songwriters more than musicians – pop songs or soul / R&B songs,” he adds. “I think this song connects me back to some of those roots and the sort of thing that I was working on then and trying to master.”

As for the themes of the song, Gabriel notes, “In some ways it’s about opening up the mind and stepping inside to understand a little more of ourselves and the world we live in with the hope that we respond a little more responsibly and compassionately.”

As he did with his last album, 2023’s i/o, Gabriel plans to release a new song from the album with each full moon of the year. The entire album will be released by the end of 2026, along with Dark-Side and Bright-Side mixes handled by Tchad Blake and Mark “Spike” Stent, respectively.

“Till Your Mind Is Shining (Dark-Side Mix)” is available now via digital outlets.

Courtney Love and Dave Grohl have certainly had their issues in the past, but the Hole frontwoman says that they’re now good. Still, she wishes Grohl would say that, too.

“Grohl, come out with it and just say we’re cool,” Love says on the latest episode of Billy Corgan’s The Magnificent Others podcast. “Be man enough to man up.”

She continues, “We’re cool, but you won’t say it because you’re afraid you’ll lose your audience, you’re afraid it’ll affect your relationship with literal Paul McCartney?”

“Dave, it would really behoove me if the straight white males that are your base, if you will, stop picking on me,” Love adds.

Love, of course, was married to Grohl’s Nirvana bandmate, the late Kurt Cobain. Following Cobain’s death in 1994, Love was involved in a legal battle with Grohl and Nirvana bassist Krist Novoselic over plans to put out unreleased Nirvana music.

Please retain your tickets as they will be valid for the rescheduled dates.”

“Steve Howe and YES would like to thank their UK fans and hope for their continued support at this time,” the post concludes.

Alice Cooper has announced that guitarist Anna Cara will be joining the shock-rocker’s live band for his upcoming tour.

The 22-year-old Cara will be filling in for Nita Strauss, who is expecting her first child.

“Nita found a brilliant British female guitarist to fill in for her while she is on maternity leave,” Cooper says in a statement. “Anna Cara is a beautiful dynamic shredder in the vein of Nita but with a style of her own. She will fit in with our gang perfectly while Nita is away and we can’t wait for the sick things to meet her. Welcome to the show, Anna!”

“This is like a dream come true, to join Alice and his great band,” Cara adds. “Back when I started playing guitar at 14, I was watching Alice Cooper live shows on YouTube dreaming of joining one day! Nita Strauss is a tough act to follow, and she’s been so encouraging to me this past month, so I am looking forward to showing everyone who I am and what I can do.”

Cooper’s tour launches Thursday in Las Vegas.

Bruce Springsteen had some choice words for President Donald Trump and his administration during the opening night of his Land of Hope and Dreams American Tour in Minneapolis Tuesday, and now Trump has responded.

During the concert, The Boss noted that America “is currently in the hands of a corrupt, incompetent, racist, reckless and treasonous administration,” asking the audience to choose “hope over fear, democracy over authoritarianism, the rule of law over lawlessness, ethics over unbridled corruption, resistance over complacency, unity over division, and peace over war.”

In his response, Trump took aim at Springsteen’s looks and called for a boycott of his concerts.

“Bad, and very boring singer, Bruce Springsteen, who looks like a dried up prune who has suffered greatly from the work of a really bad plastic surgeon, has long had a horrible and incurable case of Trump Derangement Syndrome, sometimes referred to as TDS,” Trump wrote on social media Thursday.

He then added, “MAGA SHOULD BOYCOTT HIS OVERPRICED CONCERTS, WHICH SUCK. SAVE YOUR HARD EARNED MONEY. AMERICA IS BACK!!!”

Bruce Springsteen and The E Street Band’s Land of Hope and Dreams American tour hits Portland, Oregon, on Friday. It wraps with an outdoor show on May 27 at Nationals Park in Washington, D.C. A complete list of dates can be found at BruceSpringsteen.net.

A woman who has allegedly been stalking former Fleetwood Mac member Lindsey Buckingham is believed to have thrown an unknown substance on the singer-guitarist before running off, sources told ABC News.

The incident unfolded on Wednesday as Buckingham arrived at an appointment in Santa Monica, California, sources told ABC News.

While Santa Monica police are not commenting, sources said the woman is known to law enforcement from previous incidents.

The Los Angeles Police Department’s Threat Management Unit is taking the lead on the case. The LAPD said in a statement, “To protect the integrity of the open and ongoing investigation, no further comment will be provided, at this time.”

Buckingham joined Fleetwood Mac with his then-girlfriend Stevie Nicks in 1975, and the couple became part of Fleetwood’s best-known lineup, along with drummer Mick Fleetwood, bassist John McVie and singer-keyboardist Christine McVie. Buckingham was a member of the group from 1975 to 1987 and from 1996 to 2018.
