Back in December, former Foreigner frontman Lou Gramm revealed that he had a new album on the way, and now we know the details.
The Rock & Roll Hall of Famer is set to drop the new solo album Released on March 27, featuring 10 tracks written by Gramm and his former Black Sheep bandmate Bruce Turgon.
“My new album Released is a collection of unreleased songs that were recorded in the 1980s during the production of my three previous solo albums,” says Gramm. “These are powerful, heartfelt songs with a great vintage sound taken right from my old multitrack tapes.”
“This new album was a long time coming and it’s a real nostalgia trip,” he adds. “It means a lot to me to finally see this album released, to be taken back in time when I hear this music again, to remember working with all these great musicians, and to feel that my catalog is now complete.”
And Gramm is sharing his first taste of the album with the release of the track “Young Love,” which features DefLeppard’s Vivian Campbell on guitar. The song is now available via digital outlets.
Fans will soon get to hear Gramm perform these songs live. He is due to hit the road in support of the album this summer, with dates to be announced in the coming weeks. He is also set to reunite with Foreigner for a string of Florida shows that kick off April 17 in St. Augustine, wrapping April 23 in Key West.
Gramm’s Released will be available digitally, on CD and on limited-edition ruby red vinyl. All formats are available for preorder now.

The album will be released in a variety of formats, including the limited-edition five-LP Aerosmith (Legendary Collector’s Edition) that includes the original album remastered on clear vinyl, along with a 2024 Album Mix on translucent red vinyl.
The set also includes a 1973 live performance at the Boston venue Paul’s Mall on black vinyl, as well as previously unreleased studio tracks, also on black vinyl, and a UV cloud-effect 12-inch vinyl, featuring both the 2024 remaster and 2024 mix of the band’s iconic single “Dream On.”
It also comes with a hardcover book featuring never-before-seen photos, plus liner notes with new interviews with Aerosmith’s Steven Tyler, Joe Perry, Tom Hamilton, Brad Whitford and Joey Kramer. There are also contributions from musicians like Pearl Jam’s Mike McCready, Dolly Parton, The Black Crowes’ ChrisRobinson, Guns N’ Roses’ Slash and more.

Released in January 1973, Aerosmith wasn’t an initial hit for the band, but eventually peaked at #21 in 1976. It featured Aerosmith’s now signature tune “Dream On,” which also wasn’t a hit when it was originally released in 1973, but reached the top 10 when it was rereleased in December 1975.

The Black Crowes have shared some behind-the-scenes footage of the making of the video for “Profane Prophecy,” one of two new tracks they released from their upcoming album, A Pound of Feathers.
The video was directed by artist and musician Dagger Polyester and was inspired by Russ Meyer films. The costumes, sets and more were created by a group of 15 students from a Los Angeles art collective. In the behind-the-scenes clip, Crowes frontman Chris Robinson talks about how he liked the “DIY” aspect of the video.
“It’s a great collaboration,” says Chris. “You know, to have an initial idea, throw it Dagger’s way, Dagger could, you know, throw in another layer and then to bring everyone together to kinda create this little world that’s been going on for the last 48 hours.”
A Pound of Feathers, dropping March 13, is The Black Crowes’ 10th studio album and their first since 2024’s Happiness Bastards. In addition to “Profane Prophecy,” they previewed the album by releasing the track “Pharmacy Chronicles.”

Phil Collins is hopeful that he may be able to start making music again.
The Genesis frontman revealed the news in his new BBC interview with Zoe Ball for the five-part Eras: Phil Collins podcast, which is out now.
“I couldn’t have wished for a more varied and eventful playing career,” the 74-year-old says. “The things that were ahead for me would be, apart from just being back to being totally mobile and healthy, is to maybe go in there and have a fiddle about and see if there’s more music.”
“Because, you know, you tend to sort of feel that’s it, done that,” he adds. “But you’ve got to start doing it to see if you can do it. Otherwise you don’t do it. So that is something on my horizon.”
As for whether he already has music in the works, Collins notes, “I’ve got some things that are half-formed or were never finished, and a couple of things that were finished which I like. So, you know, maybe life in the old dog yet. We’ll see.”
Collins’ interview will be broadcast on TV on BBC Two and iPlayer as a special, Phil Collins Eras: In Conversation, debuting Saturday.
In the interview, Collins also talks about his health struggles. He reveals they are “an ongoing thing” and notes, “I had everything that could go wrong with me, did go wrong with me.” As previously reported, he told Ball he has a 24-hour live-in nurse and that after five knee surgeries he can walk, but only with assistance.

Cream is set to revisit their 2005 reunion.
The Rock & Roll Hall of Fame band — Eric Clapton, Ginger Baker and Jack Bruce — will mark the 20th anniversary of their reunion at London’s Royal Albert Hall after 37 years apart by reissuing the live album of their 2005 shows at the venue.
According to a post on Instagram, Royal Albert Hall London May 2-3-5-6, 2005, will be reissued Friday on triple blue and green splatter vinyl, and double blue and orange CD. As the title suggests, it features performances from their four-night stint at the iconic venue.
An official video of Cream’s Royal Albert Hall performance of their iconic track “White Room,” from the May 3, 2005, show, is also scheduled to be released on Friday.
Released in October 2005, Royal Albert Hall London May 2-3-5-6, 2005 captures Cream’s first shows together since their farewell concerts at the same venue in November 1968. The band did reunite one other time, in 1993, for their induction into the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame.

Joe Walsh missed his first Eagles show in over 50 years on Saturday.
According to Rolling Stone, Walsh was forced to sit out of the band’s show at the Sphere in Las Vegas after coming down with the flu.
“We could either cancel the whole thing, or we could man up and do the show,” Don Henley told the crowd. “So we came down here this afternoon and had an emergency rehearsal for two hours. And fortunately, in this band, we have a deep bench.”
While Walsh did perform during the Eagles’ show Friday, Henley told the audience Walsh had been sick. “But he heroically made it through [the] last of the show,” Henley said. “Joe’s going to be okay. He just needs some time. Give him some love.”
According to Rolling Stone, the concert was the first Eagles show Walsh has missed since joining the band in 1975.
But just because he wasn’t there doesn’t mean Walsh’s songs were left out of the set list, although they did cut his James Gang tune “Funk #49.” Vince Gill, who joined the Eagles in 2017 following the death of Glenn Frey, sang lead on Walsh’s tunes “In the City,” “Life’s Been Good” and “Rocky Mountain Way.”
Eagles return to the Sphere on Saturday. They have shows booked through March 28. A complete list of dates can be found at eagles.com.
