Foo Fighters are featured in the latest episode of Hot Ones Versus.
The Hot Ones spinoff series forces contestants to answer personal questions about themselves, but if they don’t, they have to eat a spicy Wing of Death. The person who consumes the fewest wings is deemed the winner and goes home with the coveted chicken wing trophy.
Overall, all the Foos members mostly elected to tell the truth, either out of an effort to be candid or just to avoid the Wings of Death. For example, Dave Grohl had no issue choosing the “cringiest” Foo Fighters lyric: “It’s a shame we have to die, my dear/ No ones getting out of here alive” off “DOA.”
“I just thought that’s so f****** stupid,” Grohl said.
Keyboardist Rami Jaffee, however, did choose to eat a wing instead of picking to drop one of the following Foos songs from the set: “Everlong,” “Learn to Fly,” “Best of You” or “All My Life.”
The contest was eventually decided by a game of musical chairs, which was won by guitarist Chris Shiflett.
You may recall that Grohl previously appeared on Hot Ones proper back in 2022. He called being on the show a bucket-list moment, comparing the experience to when he first performed on Saturday Night Live and David Letterman’s show.
In other Foos news, the band is releasing the video for “Of All People,” a song off their new album, Your Favorite Toy, on Wednesday at 9 a.m. ET. Judging by a preview clip, the video will feature a bunch of people attempting to ski in places other than snowy mountains.
Foo Fighters will launch a North American stadium tour in support of Your Favorite Toy in August.

Rush is getting ready to hit the road for their first tour since drummer Neil Peart’s death, with Anika Nilles filling in behind the drum kit.
The band stopped touring in 2015 due to Peart’s health. In a new interview with Guitar World, frontman Geddy Lee says after Peart passed in 2020, there plenty of drummers interested in taking over his job — and some were a little too anxious.
“People who are close to us – good friends that are successful drummers – would never infer something like that because they have too much respect, not only for Neil and for the situation,” Lee tells the mag. “They were grieving as well, so they wouldn’t be so selfish as to say something inappropriate like that.”
But, he adds, “there were many other drummers who reached out to me in the aftermath of Neil’s passing that were pushing themselves, and that was most distasteful to me. It was completely inappropriate timing.”
Rush is set to launch their Fifty Something tour with a four-night run in Los Angeles starting June 7. The North American leg wraps Dec. 17 in Vancouver, followed by dates in South America, the U.K. and Europe. The complete touring schedule can be found at Rush.com.

There was a Squeeze reunion on the latest episode of the BBC music show Later… With Jools Holland.
Squeeze members Chris Difford and Glenn Tilbrook reunited with their former bandmate Holland on the Sunday night episode, with the trio performing Squeeze’s debut single, “Take Me I’m Yours,” which was released in 1978.
The performance kicked off the 68th season of Later… With Jools Holland and marked the trio’s first performance together in 36 years.
Holland was a founding member of Squeeze and played keyboards in the band until 1980. He appeared on the band’s first three albums — their 1978 self-titled debut, 1979’s Cool for Cats and 1980’s Argybargy — before leaving to launch a solo career.
In addition to the “Take Me I’m Yours” performance, Squeeze performed “Why Don’t You” and “The Place We Call Mars” from their most recent album, Trixies.
Squeeze is set to hit the road on a North American tour this summer with Adam Ant, Haircut 100 and Glenn’s son, Leon Tilbrook. The tour kicks off Aug. 16 in Nashville and wraps Sept. 27 in Detroit.

While Rod Stewart has famously declared that he doesn’t want to retire, he now seems to be hinting at it — at least when it comes to touring.
While calling in to the British sports network talkSPORT on Monday to discuss his favorite soccer team, Rod, 81, was asked what his upcoming touring plans were. He told the hosts that after performing at a private event in Monaco, he was headed to Las Vegas for his latest run of shows at The Colosseum at Caesars Palace, which start on May 27.
“I’ve got 40 odd shows this year, and that’s that’s not really…enough,” he added. “And I’m touring the U.K. next year, doing the O2 [arena] and that’ll probably be it, I think. I’ll have to do something new. Come on your show more often, maybe.”
Asked if he still gets a “massive buzz” from being onstage, Rod agreed, noting, “There’s nothing like it. There’s no drink, alcohol or drug will give you that buzz … to see all those smiling faces out there and … send them all home happy is just God’s gift. It’s wonderful.”
The 2027 shows Rod referred to haven’t actually been announced yet. The rest of this year will see him playing a mix of headlining shows, a few dates with Richard Marx, some festivals and yet another run of Vegas shows in August.
In late 2024, when Rod announced his ongoing One Last Time tour, he said it would be the end of “large-scale world tours” for him. He then added, “I have no desire to retire. I love what I do, and I do what I love.”
Meanwhile, on Tuesday night, May 19, CBS will air Forever Young: A GRAMMY Salute to Rod Stewart LIVE.
Pink Floyd’s ‘Wish You Were Here’ (Pink Floyd Music Ltd/Sony Music)
Pink Floyd’s classic album Wish You Were Here turned 50 last year, but the milestone continues to be celebrated.
The latest event marking the album’s anniversary is taking place in London, where the album will be played from start to finish in 360-degree spatial audio at the intimate listening room Polygon Portal in Soho.
The announcement on Instagram describes the experience as, “Every guitar line, every breath, every shimmering synth pad moving all around you. This is Wish You Were Here as you’ve never heard it before.”
The playbacks will be hosted May 30 and 31, and then again in June. Tickets are on sale now.
Released Sept. 12, 1975, Wish You Were Here was a huge hit for Pink Floyd, reaching #1 in both the U.S. and U.K. It became Pink Floyd’s fastest-selling album ever and went on to sell 20 million copies.
The album featured the nine-part “Shine on You Crazy Diamond,” which was a tribute to founding member Syd Barrett, who’d been fired seven years earlier due to his drug use and mental health issues. The album’s title track became a classic rock staple and has often made lists of the greatest songs of all time.

Former Bon Jovi guitarist Richie Sambora’s daughter got married over the weekend, and the rocker helped get the guests up and dancing by performing one of the band’s classic hits during the reception.
People reports Ava Sambora — Richie’s daughter with ex-wife Heather Locklear — got married to fiancé Tyler Farrar on Saturday in Montecito, California. The former rocker shared special moments from the day on his Instagram account, including a clip of him joining the band for the Bon Jovi classic “Livin’ On A Prayer” as the crowd danced and sang along.
In the clip you can see the happy couple right up front dancing and belting out the song along with Richie and the band.
Richie also posted video of his and Ava’s father/daughter dance, with Ava telling the guests, “My dad wrote this song.” The rocker previously told People that it was a song he wrote just for Ava called “I’ll Always Walk Beside You.”
Rick Wakeman memoir ‘The Wizard of Prog’ (Ebury Spotlight/Penguin)
Yes keyboardist Rick Wakeman is ready to tell his life story.
The Rock & Roll Hall of Famer will release his memoir, The Wizard of Prog, on Oct. 29. According to the announcement, it will recount Wakeman’s life “from the beginning to not quite the end… just yet.”
The description notes that the memoir is “a story of musical genius with a taste for adventure, a delightful sense of the absurd and a winning gift for comedy,” calling it “the book Rick has always wanted to write.”
To coincide with the book announcement, the 77-year-old Wakeman has also announced dates for The Wizard Of Prog – Ultimate Highlights Concert Tour, a U.K. tour that kicks off Feb. 17, 2027, in Brighton and wraps March 12, 2027, in Leicester.
“All tours are special, but this one is really very special,” Wakeman says. “I can’t exactly tell you why, but trust me … it is!”
Unlike his recent tours that have been focused on a complete album, the new tour will have Wakeman dipping into his vast catalog of music. A complete list of dates and ticket information can be found at rwcc.com.
