Tove Lo dropped her new single ‘Borderline’! The upbeat track has been co-written with none other than Dua Lipa. The song is Lo’s first after ‘Dirt Femme’, her last album that was released in October.  According to the press release, “‘Borderline’ is a song about being on the edge of love. The drama you cause inside yourself and with another person if you feel insecure. You test them. This song has existed for a long time and I’ve always felt it was incredibly special so getting to release it now has sort of a full circle feeling. Maybe that’s why it was the perfect song for Annie’s revenge video. I hope my fans love the bizarre love story that unfolds in this video, it’s my favorite kind of thing!” Lo also tweeted a snippet of the song and sent “tons of love to Dua Lipa for trusting me with this baby”. “This is the very first song we wrote together and the very start of our friendship so this feels extra special,” she continued. “Now everybody hold your breath…”

Red Hot Chili Peppers drummer, Chad Smith surprised an audience of less than 20 people in Melbourne, Australia, with a surprise performance.  The spontaneous performance took place at the city's Cherry Bar venue. Smith performed a two-song set of AC/DC songs 'If You Want Blood' and 'Up to My Neck in You' in front of only 17 people. Local vocalist AC Dan and guitarist Josh May joined Smith on the tracks. Cherry Bar manager James Young said of the performance, which took place as part of the venue's Cherry Jam open mic night, "Red Hot Chili Peppers drummer Chad Smith is a legend." According to Young, who has overseen previous Cherry Bar performers such as Axl Rose, Lady Gaga, and Arctic Monkeys, Smith was rewarded for his set with a drink voucher from Dan and May.

Roger Waters has revealed that he has been re-recording 'The Dark Side of the Moon,' the 1973 album by Pink Floyd. Waters' solo version of 'The Dark Side of the Moon' has been secretly in the works for months, without the involvement or knowledge of Pink Floyd members, David Gilmour and Nick Mason. He is said to have re-recorded the entire 10-song tracklist from scratch. The musician's longtime collaborator and tourmate Gus Seyffert, as well as a Baptist minister who plays a Hammond organ, are reportedly the only contributors to the solo version. Bedouine, Seyffert's girlfriend, is also said to appear on the re-recording. Waters explained why he chose to revisit 'The Dark Side of the Moon': “Because not enough people recognised what it’s about, what it was I was saying then.”

The handwritten lyrics to David Bowie's classic single 'The Jean Genie' were auctioned off for £57,000.  The A4 lined sheet, titled, dated, and signed by the late icon, was given to Neal Peters in 1973 who was the President of the New York-based David Bowie Fan Club. The previous owner decided to sell the piece of music history, after seeing Bowie's 'Starman' lyrics fetch a whopping £203,500 at auction in 2022. Pre-sale estimates for the 'Jean Genie' lyrics ranged from £50,000 to £70,000. “We’re well pleased with the price achieved for this historic set of lyrics,” said auctioneer Paul Fairweather after the sale. A 2009 letter on Neal Peters Collection stationery, detailing how Bowie gave Peters the lyrics, was also included in the auction lot, as were numerous photocopied documents about the fan club.
