The Eagles’ 1975 album, One of These Nights, is being reissued with a whole host of bonus material.

One of These Nights (Deluxe Edition) will be released May 1 as a three-CD/Blu-ray set, featuring a new mix of the album and a previously unreleased 1975 concert. The Blu-ray features Dolby Atmos and high-res stereo mixes of both the album and the live concert.

The concert, recorded Sept. 28, 1975, at Anaheim Stadium, has band members Don Henley, Glenn Frey, Randy Meisner, Bernie Leadon and Don Felder performing tracks from the album, including the title track, “Lyin’ Eyes,” and “Take It To The Limit,” along with hits “Take It Easy,” “Witchy Woman,” “Already Gone” and “The Best Of My Love.” The show, Leadon’s final performance with the band, features his eventual replacement, Joe Walsh, joining them for the encore to perform his track “Rocky Mountain Way.”

As a preview of the live concert, Eagles have released a performance of their cover of Chuck Berry’s “Carol” to digital services. While the band had often played the song during concerts, this is the first time it’s ever been included on an Eagles album.

One of These Nights (Deluxe Edition) is being released ahead of the Eagles’ May 2 performance at New Orleans’ Jazz Fest. It will also be available digitally and as a three-LP set featuring the new album mix and the concert. All formats are available for preorder now.

Released June 10, 1975, One of These Nights was the Eagles fourth studio album and the band’s first #1 record. It contained three top-10 hits: the title track, which was their second #1 single, “Take it to the Limit” and “Lyin’ Eyes.”

Chrissie Hynde is sharing some news about a new Pretenders album.

In a social media post Hynde gave fans some insight into what she’s been working on as the band’s been off the road, and that includes a new Pretenders album.

“(Guitarist) James Walbourne and I have been writing for the next one … provisionally called Outlaw. (yes I know there’s probably 1000 albums titled Outlaw),” she writes. “We start recording that in the next couple of months.”

In addition to the Pretenders album, Hynde says she’s working on two other projects, one with Moreno Veloso, Kassin Kassin and Domenico Lancellotti of the Brazilian band The +2s. The other is Valve Bone Woe Volume 2, a follow-up to her 2019 jazz-influenced solo album. She also said she’s working on another painting exhibit, which will be happening soon.

“I’m not trying to make a name for myself as a painter,” she writes. “I just like painting and there’s no point in just stacking them up in a warehouse, which is what I have been doing.”

The Pretenders haven’t played a show since July. In her post Chrissie also let fans know how she’s been feeling about being off the road.

“I’m finding not being on tour, pretty weird,” she offers. “I miss the band. I miss the backstage. I miss the dressing rooms. I miss the scaffolding. I miss the crew.”

She adds, “But most of all, I miss the CATERING. (Naw … I’m just f***** with ya’ll, most of all I miss YOU).”

Neil Young is back in the studio.

In a new post on his Neil Young Archives site, the Rock & Roll Hall of Famer revealed that he’s recording a new album with his band Chrome Hearts.

The post started out with Young commenting on what’s been going on in America, writing, “I am so hurt for this country. Politics today is sad and depressing for me. I can’t do it anymore.”

“I can go out and demonstrate my feelings about it,” he added, before calling President Donald Trump “the worst president in the history of our country.”

He then let fans know what he’s been up to.

“Now, thankfully, once again, I’m in the studio recording a new album with the Chrome Hearts,” he wrote. “I love the songs and the feelings of life and love. Music is. So far we have eight new songs. They make me feel.”

Young released his first album with Chrome Hearts, Talkin to the Trees, in June 2025. He was supposed to hit the road with the band this summer, but in February he canceled the tour, noting he “decided to take a break.”

Boston lead singer Tommy DeCarlo died Monday at the age of 60, his family confirmed in a post on Instagram.

“After being diagnosed with brain cancer last September, he fought with incredible strength and courage right up until the very end,” read the family statement. “During this difficult time, we kindly ask that friends and fans respect our family’s privacy as we grieve and support one another.”

DeCarlo joined Boston in 2007 following the death of original frontman Brad Delp, who died by suicide on March 9, 2007. DeCarlo got the gig after sending a MySpace link of him performing Boston covers, as well as an original song he wrote in honor of Delp, to the band’s management. He was working for Home Depot at the time. He has been part of Boston’s touring lineup ever since.

DeCarlo also appeared on Boston’s 2013 album Life, Love & Hope, which also featured previously recorded vocals by Delp.

Over 50 years after singing “No more pencils, no more books” in “School’s Out,” Alice Cooper is softening his stance on at least one of those things.

The shock rock icon has announced a new memoir called Devil on My Shoulder. The book is due out Oct. 6.

Devil on My Shoulder follows the life and career of the “No More Mr. Nice Guy” rocker, who was born Vincent Damon Furnier before creating his Alice Cooper stage persona and eventually adopting it as his legal name.

“I’ve written this book to track Alice’s ‘evilution’, and how I’ve tamed him at last,” Cooper says in a statement. “Just as he and I became almost fatally intertwined, the story of Alice Cooper after over thirty records and sixty-plus years has become a tangle of embellishments, elaborations and outright fabrications, and I think it’s time to sort reality from myth.”

Before his story hits bookshelves, you catch Cooper live on his upcoming U.S. tour, launching in April.

Stipe joined them for two songs, Pageant’s “These Days” and the Man on the Moon track “The Great Beyond.” Fan-shot footage of the performances are posted on R.E.M.’s Instagram account.

Stipe and his R.E.M. bandmates Mike Mills, Peter Buck and Bill Berry also joined Shannon and Narducy when the Fables tour hit R.E.M.’s hometown of Athens, Georgia, in February of that same year.

Shannon and Narducy’s Lifes Rich Pageant tour hits Pittsburgh on Monday.
