ABKCO Music & Records, owner of The Rolling Stones’ early master recordings, has reached a settlement in its lawsuit over Behr Paint’s use of The Stones’ 1966 chart-topper “Paint It Black” in a social media advertisement for its paint products.
The suit claiming copyright infringement was filed back in November, with ABKCO arguing Behr didn’t pay to use the song. Most third parties “pay significant fees,” which the company said range from hundreds of thousands to millions of dollars to license such ABKCO recordings for ads.
The label argued it “suffered significant damages” thanks to the unauthorized use of “Paint it Black,” adding Behr’s “acts of infringement have been willful, in reckless disregard of and with indifference to” ABKCO’s rights.
It appears the case has now been resolved. A joint notice of settlement was filed Monday with the California courts, revealing that both sides have finalized a written settlement agreement and are planning to file for a voluntary dismissal of the case “as soon as practical.” Terms of that settlement were not disclosed.

Squeeze is set to hit the road this summer on a North American tour.
The “Tempted” band has announced dates for a new tour, featuring special guests Adam Ant, Haircut 100 and Leon Tilbrook, son of Squeeze’s Glenn Tilbrook.
The tour kicks off Aug. 16 in Nashville and features stops in Atlanta, New York, Boston, Las Vegas, Los Angeles and more before wrapping Sept. 27 in Detroit.
An artist presale is set to begin Wednesday, with tickets going on sale to the general public Friday at 10 a.m. local time.
The tour follows the March release of Squeeze’s new album, Trixies, which featured some of the first songs Squeeze’s Chris Difford and Glenn Tilbrook ever wrote together. They were written by the duo back in 1974 when they were teens and recording was beyond their skill set.
Paul McCartney, ‘The Boys of Dungeon Lane’ (MPL/Capitol Records)
Paul McCartney will let fans hear one of the most eagerly anticipated tracks on his new album, The Boys of Dungeon Lane, on Friday.
That’s the day he’s releasing “Home to Us,” which features his old bandmate Ringo Starr on vocals and drums. You can hear a snippet of the song, minus the vocals, on McCartney’s Instagram.
But Starr’s voice isn’t the only one you’ll hear on the track: Backing vocals were provided by Pretenders frontwoman Chrissie Hynde and Sharleen Spiteri from the band Texas.
McCartney says in a statement, “This song [was] done totally with Ringo in mind. In writing the song, I’m talking about where we came from. In common with a lot of people, you come from nothing and you build yourself up.”
He adds, referring to his and Starr’s rough Liverpool upbringing, “Even though it was crazy, it was home to us.”
McCartney said after he sent the song to Starr, the drummer sent him back a version in which he’d sung a few lines in the chorus. “I thought, maybe he doesn’t like it. I rang him and he said he thought I only wanted him to sing one or two lines, and I said I’d love to hear him sing the whole thing,” McCartney recalled.
“So we took my first line, Ringo’s second line, and then we had a duet. We’d never done that before.”
McCartney said Hynde and Spiteri were recruited because, “I had the idea it would be nice to hear girls.”
McCartney’s new album, The Boys of Dungeon Lane, will be released May 29. It’s his first solo album since 2020’s McCartney III.

The Rolling Stones’ ‘Foreign Tongues’ (Capitol Records)
After weeks of teasing fans, The Rolling Stones have finally spilled the beans about their new music.
The band has revealed that their next album, Foreign Tongues, will be released July 10. They also dropped the album’s first single, “In the Stars,” which is available now via digital outlets.
While “In the Stars” is the first single, it’s actually not the first taste fans have gotten of the album. The opening track, “Rough and Twisted,” was released in April as a white label vinyl under the name The Cockroaches. It has now been released digitally.
Like their last album, 2023’s Grammy Award-winning Hackney Diamonds, Mick Jagger, Keith Richards and Ronnie Wood worked with producer Andrew Watt on the 14-track Foreign Tongues. It was recorded in under a month at London’s Metropolis Studios and is described as a “dynamic and forward-looking record that captures the band’s unmistakable sound while pushing into new sonic and lyrical territory, further cementing their unparalleled legacy.”
Foreign Tongues features an appearance by the band’s late drummer, Charlie Watts, taken from one of his final recording sessions before his death in 2021. It also features guest appearances by such A-list artists as Paul McCartney, Steve Winwood, The Cure’s Robert Smith and Red Hot Chili Peppers drummer Chad Smith.
Foreign Tongues will be released in a variety of formats and is available for preorder now.
The Who has dropped another performance from their upcoming album, Live at Eden Project. It’s a recording of their July 2023 concert at Cornwall’s Eden Project, the home of a sustainable network of biomes in the English countryside.

The Who’s Eden Project concert was part of their The Who Hits Back! tour, which saw Roger Daltrey and Pete Townshend backed by the Heart of England Philharmonic Orchestra. It featured performances of “Pinball Wizard,” which the band previously released, as well as “Who Are You,” “My Generation,” “Won’t Get Fooled Again,” “Baba O’Riley” and more.

Two-time Rock & Roll Hall of Famer Stevie Nicks was one of the special musical guests at Monday night’s Met Gala in New York, where she shared the stage with pop star Sabrina Carpenter.
According to Vogue, Stevie and Sabrina, one of the co-chairs of the Gala, opened up the performance with a collaboration on Stevie’s iconic Fleetwood Mac song “Landslide,” before Stevie performed the Fleetwood Mac hit “Gypsy” and her solo classic “Edge of Seventeen,” on her own. Stevie then closed the night with another Fleetwood Mac classic — “Don’t Stop” — joined by Sabrina and a 12-person choir.
The “Don’t Stop” performance comes a little over a week after she performed the tune at New Orleans Jazz Fest, which was her first performance of the track in 15 years. The song is normally sung by Lindsey Buckingham and Christine McVie.
Stevie’s appearance at the high-profile New York event marked her Met Gala debut. On the red carpet, she wore a custom midnight blue and black Zara gown designed by John Galliano, as per People. The gown featured an enormously wide skirt, topped with a velvet and silk taffeta jacket. She crowned the look with one of her signature top hats.
Vogue reports that for her performance, Stevie wore a vintage Morgane LeFay dress and Margi Kent jacket.
