The estate overseeing Prince’s catalog confirmed the release as part of its ongoing effort to share material from his vault. The newly available version presents Prince’s own vocal performance and arrangement of the song.

With This Tear was previously known through Dion’s official release, but this recording provides a separate interpretation created by its writer. The song’s lyrics and structure remain consistent, while the performance reflects Prince’s original recording style.

The release adds to a series of posthumous projects that continue to make previously unheard recordings from Prince’s catalog publicly available.

The announced lineup also includes Gary Clark Jr., Public Enemy, Kenny Chesney, Rosanne Cash, Jackson Browne, Dropkick Murphys, Darlene Love, Nils Lofgren, Stevie Van Zandt, Mavis Staples, and Dion. Organizers say the performances will spotlight landmark songs from across American music, with blues, bluegrass, rock, hip-hop, folk, jazz, country, and gospel all represented. The Disciples of Soul will serve as the house band.

Robert Santelli, executive director of the Springsteen Center and executive producer of the concerts, said the shows are meant to reflect the breadth of American music and its connection to the country’s shared cultural history. The concerts will take place just ahead of the center’s planned June 7 opening. General public ticket sales for both shows begin April 21 at noon Eastern, with each night sold separately.

In recent comments, Perry said Tyler has only recently started feeling comfortable singing again after a long recovery period. He made clear that the band is not announcing a tour, but said members are still in contact and looking at what might be possible beyond full-scale live dates.

That leaves Aerosmith’s next step uncertain. Any future activity would likely depend on Tyler’s continued recovery and what the band feels is realistic. Perry did not point to a specific project, timeline, or format, but his remarks suggest the group has not fully closed the door on doing something together.

For now, the main development is that Aerosmith remains in discussion, even if touring is not part of the immediate plan.

That means the group will still play in Melbourne on November 13 and return for its Sydney show on November 15 as planned. The timing creates a tight turnaround, but there has been no sign of a cancellation or postponement tied to the ceremony.

The update clears up questions that came up after the induction date was announced. With such a long trip involved, some fans wondered whether one of the Australian concerts might be affected. For now, those concerns appear to be settled.

The situation puts one of heavy music’s most influential bands in an unusual position, balancing a major career honor with an active international tour. Even so, the message is simple: the Australian dates are still on.

Perry also said a full tour feels much less certain. Steven Tyler’s recovery remains the biggest factor, and the physical demands of a long run are hard to ignore. The band ended its touring career after Tyler suffered a vocal injury that forced the cancellation of the remaining farewell dates.

Even so, Perry’s comments leave some room for the band to share a stage again in a limited way. A single appearance or special event seems more realistic than a major comeback. For now, Aerosmith is not announcing a next step. Still, Perry’s update suggests the door is not completely closed on one more moment with the band.

Several of the nominees appear on the ballot for the first time, including Collins, Hill, Shakira, Wu-Tang Clan and Vandross. Their inclusion adds momentum to this year’s class and signals an ongoing effort to recognize artists from across different musical spaces.

At the same time, the lineup continues to fuel discussion about how the Hall defines rock and roll. The presence of artists like Mariah Carey, Lauryn Hill and Wu-Tang Clan alongside bands such as Iron Maiden and Oasis highlights the institution’s broader approach.

Reactions have focused on both excitement and omission, as fans point out familiar names that remain absent while welcoming others who are finally receiving recognition. The final selections are expected to keep that conversation going.

The decision follows years of discussion around the group’s influence and whether their impact on heavy metal would be formally recognized. Iron Maiden has remained one of the genre’s most consistent acts, known for its global touring presence and loyal audience across generations.

The Rock and Roll Hall of Fame selection process has often sparked debate, especially when it comes to hard rock and metal artists. Iron Maiden’s inclusion signals a broader acknowledgment of the genre’s role in shaping modern rock music.

Formed in the mid-1970s, the band built its reputation through intricate songwriting, distinctive imagery, and a strong connection with fans worldwide. Their induction now places them alongside other artists whose work has defined decades of music history.

The ceremony is expected to highlight not just their catalog, but their lasting cultural influence.

The announcement highlights Rodgers’ continued role in shaping the group’s sound, building on a working relationship that stretches back decades. His past contributions have been tied to some of the band’s most recognizable work, and this new release continues that connection.

Free To Love is now available for preorder, signaling a broader rollout tied to upcoming appearances. Duran Duran is also preparing for a series of live shows, including a performance at the BeachLife Festival and a residency-style run in Las Vegas.

The release arrives as the band maintains a steady presence across both recorded music and live events. With this latest track, they continue to revisit familiar collaborations while introducing new material to their audience.

In his message, Dumont said the condition affects his movement and requires ongoing attention, but he continues to adapt. He also confirmed plans to perform with No Doubt during their upcoming Las Vegas residency, signaling that he remains active as a musician.

The disclosure prompted a wave of responses from fans and fellow artists. Supportive messages highlighted both his openness and his continued dedication to performing.

Parkinson’s disease is a neurological condition that can impact motor skills over time. Early-onset cases, like Dumont’s, occur before the age of 50 and often require long-term management.

Despite the diagnosis, Dumont’s focus remains on music and staying engaged with his audience.

Multiple reports indicate the first preview may arrive through a new song titled Rough and Twisted, which is said to be scheduled for a white-label vinyl release on April 11. Producer Andrew Watt is also believed to be working with the band again after his role on their last album.

So far, no official album title has been confirmed. There is also no indication of a new tour being planned around the release, which suggests the focus may stay on the music itself for now.

The buildup has included teaser-style posters in London linked to the name Cockroaches, a reference with roots in the group’s early history. Taken together, the clues suggest the band is preparing another chapter at a time when few legacy acts are still releasing major new studio work.
