Robbie Williams covers 90s rivals Oasis at homecoming gig

OHMYGOSSIP — Robbie Williams covered 90s rivals Oasis’ ‘Don’t Look Back in Anger’ at his homecoming concert.
The former Take That star played Stoke-on-Trent’s Vale Park stadium at the weekend, where he surprised the crowd with a rendition of the Britpop legends’ 1996 mega-hit.
The ‘Rock DJ’ hitmaker – who also performed Take That’s ‘Could It Be Magic’ and ‘Do What U Like’ – reportedly told the crowd he was forced to leave the boy band after “going to Glastonbury and hanging out with the Gallagher brothers”.
Despite former Oasis guitarist Noel Gallagher once dubbing Robbie, 48, “the fat one in Take That”, the ‘Supreme’ singer hung out with ex-frontman Liam Gallagher at the world-famous music festival in 1995, shortly before departing the ‘Back for Good’ band.
They have bickered for years, with Robbie famously challenging Liam to a fight at the 2000 BRIT Awards.
However, Noel recently appeared to pay Robbie a backhanded compliment when he said he wishes he’d penned 1997’s ‘Angels’, as he compared it to the ‘Wonderwall’ hitmakers.
Speaking on ‘The Matt Morgan Podcast’, the 55-year-old rocker said: “I’ve heard it. And thought, ‘I wish I’d written that.’
‘Angels’ is Oasis by numbers.
“Add a f****** electric guitar on it and it would be.”
Although Robbie appeared to be a willing participant in the slanging match, he previously claimed that the siblings’ comments, which many of his musical peers seemed to agree with at the time, left him depressed and ultimately inspired him to quit Britain to move to Los Angeles in 2004.
Speaking in 2021, he said: “My particular brand of entertainment and my particularly brand of pop music at the same time as my peers wasn’t, and isn’t, deemed worthy. I read the same magazines and watched the same television shows and wanted to be in the same tribe that most people my age found themselves but because of what I did and because of my output, what I created and how I presented myself it was deemed unworthy.
“There was a culture of ‘Robbie Williams is not cool’, ‘Robbie Williams isn’t very good’ and ‘Robbie Williams is naff’ and ‘Robbie Williams is fat’ and ‘Robbie Williams, we all agree, is awful’. That was apart from the 3 million people that bought my album each time it came out in the UK. At the time it was unbearable.
“In music, it was Liam Gallagher and Noel Gallagher, although it wasn’t just Liam and Noel Gallagher doing it.
“Liam said that I should be hung, you know. Famously, Noel said I was ‘the fat dancer from Take That’.
“I can name them because they go in my rucksack, they go on the list of people that I remember every single syllable of every single thing they’ve ever said about me.
“That was 20 years ago, and 20 years ago I just left the country because I couldn’t turn anything on or pick anything up without it saying, ‘This is a bad person, doing a bad thing, presenting himself in a bad way.’ I am far too sensitive to the job that I found myself doing.”
Although he is now cool with Liam, Robbie still has no love for Noel and insists his music is “s***”.

Kylie Minogue reunites with Coldplay for Can’t Get You Out of My Head duet

OHMYGOSSIP — Kylie Minogue reunited with Coldplay for another live rendition of ‘Can’t Get You Out of My Head’ at the weekend.
Chris Martin and co brought their ‘Music Of The Spheres’ world tour to the MetLife Stadium in East Rutherford, New Jersey on Saturday night (04.06.22), and had a special treat in store for fans.
After performing an acoustic duet of Kylie’s 2001 hit during her Sunday afternoon Legends slot at Glastonbury three years ago, the Australian pop icon came out and did it all over again for their US fans.
Coldplay tweeted: “Thank you Kylie Minogue for letting us be your backing band.
“We love you.”
And the ‘I Should Be So Lucky’ hitmaker responded: “Thank you Coldplay for a beautiful, joy filled night! Love you always!!!!”
Kylie has just released a remix of the noughties mega-hit by Peggy Gou.
The 54-year-old superstar teamed up with South Korean producer and world-famous DJ on a new cut of the iconic pop song for ice cream giants Magnum’s #ClassicsRemixed campaign.
Kylie said: “I can’t quite believe it’s been twenty years since I released this song! I’m a big fan of Peggy and I’m so excited for everyone to hear this remix!”
Peggy, 30, added: “Partnering with one of my musical icons to remix what is an undisputed club classic is a dream come true. From personal experience, ‘Can’t Get You Out Of My Head’ is one of those songs that transports, moves and uplifts people all over the world. Classics like this never go out of style but I’ve loved being able to put my own personal stamp on such a legendary track. To be able to bring a modern-day house sound to this legendary track shows us that classics never go out of style and I can’t wait for you all to hear it.”
The original was featured on Kylie’s eighth studio album, ‘Fever’, which featured elements of club music, disco and synth-pop.

Queen to release ‘beautiful’ unheard track recorded by Freddie Mercury

OHMYGOSSIP — Queen are to release a previously unheard track featuring vocals recorded by late frontman Freddie Mercury.
The band’s surviving members discovered the song in their archives and it dates from ‘The Miracle’ recording sessions during which they laid down around 30 tracks for the 1989 album – many of which were never released.
Speaking with Zoe Ball on BBC Radio 2 over the weekend (04.06.22-05.06.22), drummer Roger Taylor explained: “We did find a little gem from Freddie, that we’d kind of forgotten about. And it was. It’s wonderful. Actually, it was real discovery. It’s from ‘The Miracle’ sessions, and I think it’s going to be out in September.”
Host Zoe then asked: “This is incredible. It always amazes me how you can lose a little gem like that. And when you find it again, who actually found it?”
Guitarist Brian May replied: “It was kind of hiding in plain sight. We looked at it many times and thought, ‘Oh no, we can’t really rescue that’. But in fact, we went in there again and our wonderful engineering team went, ‘Okay, we can do this and this’. It’s like kind of stitching bits together.”
Brian then added of the song: “It’s beautiful. It’s touching.”
Roger went on: “It’s a very passionate piece.”
Freddie died in 1991 after suffering complications related to AIDS. The band has continued touring with vocalists Paul Rodgers and Adam Lambert.
The interview with the band took place during the BBC’s coverage of Queen Elizabeth’s Platinum Jubilee celebrations which took place across a four-day bank holiday weekend.
Queen + Adam Lambert were among the acts which performed at the Platinum Party at the Palace concert on Saturday night (04.06.22) and they had the honour of their song ‘We Will Rock You’ being tapped out by the Queen during a skit she filmed with Paddington Bear.

Julian Casablancas sells stake in The Strokes catalogue

OHMYGOSSIP — Julian Casablancas has sold a stake in The Strokes’ catalogue.
The ‘Last Nite’ hitmaker has sold a portion of both publishing rights and masters rights to Primary Wave for an undisclosed sum, though it is unclear how big a share the company have purchased.
A spokesperson for Primary Wave said the deal only includes the singer’s rights from the band, not his other projects, including his solo material and other band the Voidz.
David Weitzman, partner at Primary Wave, said in a statement: “Primary Wave is thrilled to partner with Julian Casablancas for his works in The Strokes.
“Julian’s extraordinary talents as a songwriter, singer, and leader infuse the magic that is The Strokes.
“The Strokes are one of the most important bands of this century and are beloved by a multi-generational audience who have made them a global festival headliner.”
Julian is the latest in a string of big-name stars to sell the rights to their music to companies such as Primary Wave and Hipgnosis Song Management.
Last week, Justin Timberlake struck a deal with Hipgnosis Song Management – which was founded by Merck Mercuriadis and Nile Rodgers in 2018 – to sell his back catalogue for $100 million.
He confirmed the news in a statement, which read: “I am excited to be partnering with (Hipgnosis founder and chief executive Merck Mercuriadis).
“He values artists and their creative work and has always been a strong supporter of songwriters and storytelling. I look forward to entering this next chapter.”
Merck added: “Justin’s incredible catalogue will join other amazing works at Hipgnosis which we know will serve as a great steward of his work. We look forward to a great partnership between Justin and Hipgnosis.”
An exact figure for the sale has not been released, but The Wall Street Journal reports the deal could be worth in excess of $100 million.
Justin follows in the footsteps of other stars including Shakira and Neil Young, who both sold off chunks of their back catalogue to the same company earlier this year.
Shakira sold off her entire body of work for an undisclosed sum while Neil parted with 50 percent of his recordings for an estimated $150 million.
Stevie Nicks was reportedly paid $100 million at the end of 2020 after selling a stake in her publishing rights to Primary Wave.

The 29-year-old singer also thanked their fans for supporting them, whether they have been “rocking out with me since the beginning” or “just now coming along for the ride”.
The news comes shortly after the ‘Sorry Not Sorry’ hitmaker revealed plans to release the album’s lead single ‘Skin of My Teeth’ on Friday (10.06.22).
The track has been produced by Oak Felder, who first worked with Demi on 2017 record ‘Tell Me You Love Me’.

Robbie Williams to mark 25 years as a solo artist with orchestral album XXV

OHMYGOSSIP — Robbie Williams has announced his new album, ‘XXV’, marking 25 years as a solo artist.
The former Take That star has recorded orchestral versions of his greatest hits with the Dutch jazz and pop orchestra, Metropole Orkest, to celebrate a quarter of a century since the release of his debut solo album, 1997’s ‘Life Thru A Lens’.
The ‘Rock DJ’ hitmaker, 48, posed naked on a statue for the album’s striking artwork, which is an interpretation of The Thinker by French sculptor Auguste Rodin, with just his arms and legs covering his manhood.
In a press release, Robbie said: “I’m so excited to announce my new album ‘XXV’ which celebrates many of my favourite songs from the past 25 years. Each track has a special place in my heart so it was a real thrill to record them again with the Metropole Orkest. Can’t wait for you all to hear it.”
The career-spanning collection includes the hits ‘Candy’, ‘Angels’, ‘Millennium’ and ‘Let Me Entertain You’.
The ‘Supreme’ hitmaker – who has Teddy, nine, Charlie, seven, Coco, three, and 17-month-old Beau with wife Ayda Field – is planning to hit the road in support of the LP, however, he has admitted he doesn’t want to miss out on his young kids growing up, so he doesn’t want to tour extensively and go long periods without seeing his brood.
Speaking to the Daily Star newspaper’s Wired column at the album’s launch at Dover Street Arts Club in London, Robbie said: “I’m planning to tour the album, but I’m also figuring out how to be a dad.
“I saw a documentary with an actor talking about how he didn’t see his kids grow up.
“I’ve been thinking about that an awful lot, especially coming out of COVID where I’ve had two-and-a-half years with my kids.”
The ‘Let Me Entertain You’ hitmaker insists he’s tamed his “charlatan” side and he sees himself as a “daddy going to work” now.
He said: “I felt a charlatan when I was having massive success. That feeling is still there, but it takes a back seat. I’m more in control now.
“It’s about the work now, the feeling of, ‘Daddy is going to work now.’
“Happiness wise, I’m the best I’ve ever been.”
On posing in the nude for the eye-popping album cover, he quipped: “It’s amazing what they can do with computers now.
“The cover wasn’t my idea but, when it was put to me, I was well up for it.”
As well as the album, Robbie also has his Michael Gracey-helmed biopic ‘Better Man’ on the way.
But he confessed he doesn’t feel worthy enough to have a film about his life made, despite selling more than 77 million records worldwide and tying with the late King of Rock and Roll, Elvis, for the most UK number one albums.
He said: “I was filming my parts in Melbourne recently.
“I was in the make-up room with the actors playing my mum, my dad and my grandma.
“Even Jason Orange’s prosthetic chin and Howard Donald’s wig were there.
“My whole life was there. It was brilliant, but also as mad as you think it is. I don’t know if I deserve that film.
“But Michael is a heavy hitter and it has every chance of being a success.”
If ‘XXV’ goes to No1, Robbie will have beaten Elvis.
He commented: “Elvis doesn’t stay dead.
“He’s constantly putting more albums out.
“But I’m really ambitious and competitive and I’m so pleased having the record is a possibility.”
The album is released on September 9 and available to pre-order now via robbiewilliams.com.

The full track-listing for ‘XXV’ is:

1. Let Me Entertain You

Paul ‘Bonehead’ Arthurs ‘sore, but still smiling’ as he passes halfway point of cancer treatment

OHMYGOSSIP — Paul ‘Bonehead’ Arthurs is feeling “sore, but still smiling” after making it over the halfway point of his cancer treatment.
The 56-year-old guitarist – who was a founding member of Oasis – revealed in April he was diagnosed with tonsil cancer and needs to complete 30 sessions of radiotherapy and two chemotherapy sessions.
And in his latest update on Monday (06.06.22), Bonehead, who is keeping a positive outlook, revealed he was receiving his final round of chemo overnight at The Christie Hospital in Manchester and has 14 sessions of radiotherapy left, with his treatment set to end on June 24.
In a typed-out message to his Twitter followers, he wrote: “Quick update. I’m in again for chemotherapy overnight tonight.
“That’s my second and final session of chemo, the first wiped me out but hopefully this one will be better.
“I’m just past the halfway point in treatment now, I’ve done 16 out of 30 sessions of radiotherapy and it’s getting sore, but I’m still smiling, feeling positive and being me.
“Counting down the days now and I’ll be finished the day after my birthday on the 24th.”
The musician went on to thank everyone for their well-wishes and commented on how amazing his old bandmate Liam Gallagher’s gigs in Manchester and Knebworth sounded after he was forced to miss performing for the ex-Oasis frontman at his major solo gigs.
He added: “Thank you for all the messages of support, they mean so much, keep them coming I read them all.
“I hope you enjoyed the Etihad and Knebworth shows those of you who went, how good did it look and sound?
“Here’s to next year, I’ll keep you updated but I’m looking to the end of treatment soon and a few months recovery. Big love to you all xxxx.”
Bonehead took to Twitter to explain he would be taking a break from his music career while he undergoes “a course of treatment”.
He wrote in April: “Just to let you all know I’m going to be taking a break from playing for a while.
“I’ve been diagnosed with tonsil cancer, but the good news is it’s treatable and I’ll be starting a course of treatment soon.”
Liam, 49, wrote: “Sending BIG love to the 1 n only Bonehead and his family wishing you a speedy recovery we’re all thinking of you rasta you’ll be back on stage bfore you can say r we doing Colombia LG x (sic)”
Bonehead quit Oasis in 1999, saying he wanted to spend more time with his family, but he’s kept working with Liam over the years, including in his band Beady Eye and on other solo projects.

Did Charlie Puth just confirm he has collaborated with BTS?

OHMYGOSSIP — Charlie Puth appears to have confirmed a “top-secret” collaboration with BTS.
While being interviewed backstage at the iHeart Radio Wango Tango concert in Los Angeles at the weekend, Charlie addressed a rumour that he and the K-Pop septet have a song on the way.
He coyly told the journalist: “I heard that too, and everybody in my camp doesn’t know the day it comes out.
“We legitimately have no idea of the day it comes out. We do, but like we just figured it out.”
The interviewer then asked: “Okay, so there is a collab,” to which Charlie replied: “We will leave that at that, sort of top-secret.”
Neither the ‘My Universe’ group or their team have confirmed or deny the reports.
Charlie, 30, previously performed his mega-hit ‘We Don’t Talk Anymore’ with BTS member Jungkook, 24, while he duetted with the band on a rendition of their track ‘FAKE LOVE’.
Meanwhile, Snoop Dogg revealed last month that he has recorded vocals for his BTS collaboration.
The 50-year-old rapper teased his collaboration with the South Korean boy band over the last few months and he’s since revealed he’s completed his part of the song but it is up to the ‘Butter’ hitmakers as to when fans will get to hear it.
Speaking to The Buzz, he said: “You gotta talk to them, but my parts are in.”
Snoop reflected on his previous K-Pop collaborations with the likes of Psy, Girls Generation and 2NE1.
He said: “I’ve been experiencing the K-pop experience for a long time, connected to the music world [and] scene.
“I got a record with a group called 2NE1 back in the day. Come on now, it’s what I do.”
The ‘Drop It Like It’s Hot’ hitmaker first revealed in February that he’d been asked to work with BTS, though nothing was confirmed at the time.
He said: “I got a group named BTS that’s waiting on me to do a song with them right now and I’m trying to figure out if I got time to do that s***.”
Snoop told how his nephew had made him realise just how big the group are.
He added: “[He] showed me five mother****** who look like the Asian New Edition.
“I said, ‘OK.'”
The following month, the ‘American Song Contest’ host confirmed the collaboration was happening.
He said: “The BTS experience you keep talking about. I’m going to let them tell you about it.
“It’s official like a referee with a whistle. I love that entertainment world.
“It’s good music. It’s [a] vibe. I make good music. They make good music.
“And we end up doing this. This is what it’s always about, bringing our worlds together.”

Todd Rundgren and King Crimson‘s Adrian Belew set for Celebrating David Bowie tour

OHMYGOSSIP — The ‘Celebrating David Bowie’ tribute tour is returning for 2022.
A supergroup, including Todd Rundgren and King Crimson‘s Adrian Belew, will celebrate the late music legend – who died of cancer aged 69 in January 2016 – with a janut across North America following the release of Brett Morgen’s Bowie documentary film about the ‘Spaceman’ hitmaker, ‘Moonage Daydream’.
The pair will be joined by Spacehog’s Royston Langdon, Fishbone’s Angelo Moore and Jeffrey Gaines on the 15-date run this autumn.
The guitarist Angelo ‘Scrote’ Bundini is once again putting on the shows after creating and producing the ‘Celebrating David Bowie’ tour of 2017, with the help of Miles Copeland.
Scrote told Rolling Stone: “One of the things we’re doing differently on this tour is featuring a three-guitar attack.
“David has always been famous for his spectacular guitarists – the epic solos of Mick Ronson, the bluesy feel of Earl Slick, the funkiness of Carlos Alomar and Nile Rodgers, the bombast of Reeves Gabrels, and the otherworldly guitar of Adrian Belew, who is still one of the most original guitarists working today. To explore all of these guitar sides of Bowie’s songs, we’re highlighting Adrian’s brilliance, Todd’s guitar wizardry, and whatever guitar mayhem I can muster in between.”
Royston commented: “It’s impossible to put into words quite how much he taught me. It gives me a huge thrill to get to honour Mr. B and to be a small part of this immense celebration of his life and work with these world-class musicians and everyone, who like me feels his energy alive and vital around me now just as it was then and forever shall be.”
The backing band features Scrote, bassist Angeline Saris, drummer Michael Urbano and sax player Ron Dziubla.
The tour kicks off on October 6 in San Diego, California, and wraps on November 13 in Phoenix, Arizona.

Editors to release new album EBM in September

OHMYGOSSIP — Editors have announced their new album, ‘EBM’.
The ‘Papillon’ hitmakers have released the new song ‘Karma Climb’ from their upcoming seventh studio effort, their first since Benjamin John Power aka Blanck Mass was made a full-time member of the indie rock band.
The latter, who is in charge of keyboards, synthesisers and electronics, said of the record: “There is a strong physicality to this record. ‘EBM’ started its life with the intention of connecting with people and filling a very physical space. There is also however an emotional physicality running throughout; an urgency and a sense of panic. An unease. Even in its more tender moments there is a yearning for connection.”
Frontman Tom Smith added of their new single: “It’s about hedonistic escapism, not only from the world generally, but also from what people think of you.”
And on Ben’s reinvigorating contributions to the record, he added: “Ben has certainly been a shot of adrenaline in our creative process.
“The songs are so immediate, and in your face.”
Ben had previously worked with the group on their 2018 LP ‘Violence’.
‘Karma Climb’ follows last month’s track ‘Heart Attack’.
Editors will also tour across the UK and Ireland and Europe, including shows in London, Nottingham, Manchester, Glasgow, Dublin and beyond.
Tickets go on general sale at 10am BST on Friday (10.06.22).
‘EBM’ is released on September 23 via on Digital / 2LP / CD / Cassette and is available to pre-order now.

Robbie Williams mocks Liam Gallagher over ‘cheap’ Knebworth tickets

OHMYGOSSIP — Robbie Williams has mocked Liam Gallagher over his recent Knebworth gigs.
The ‘Angels’ singer – who played to 375,000 fans over three nights at the venue in 2003 – bragged he could easily play the venue again if he sold tickets as “cheaply” as the former Oasis frontman did last weekend for his two shows.
Asked if he would like to put on a similar comeback gig at the venue, Robbie teased: “To go and do three again? I dunno. I listened to [Liam’s] last album [‘C’mon You Know’] and there’s some amazing songs on there.
“Like proper, proper – you know, how music should be. Or how this middle-aged fella thinks music should be.
“I don’t know if you revisit [Knebworth], though. Do you revisit it? I’m sure we’d do OK if we sold tickets as cheaply [as Liam].”
As reported by NME, tickets for Liam’s Knebworth shows in front of 160,000 fans over two nights were priced at £65.
However, Robbie quickly backtracked and told the publication: “Can I just apologise for saying the ‘cheaply’ thing – if you write that, can you say I apologise; I was being b*****.
“(Knebworth) is not something that’s on my radar. Glastonbury, on the other hand – I’d like to do that.”
Gallagher famously played Knebworth with older brother Noel, 55, when Oasis appeared at the iconic venue in 1996, performing to 250,000 people across two nights.
The rivalry between Robbie and the Gallagher brothers saw Noel once branding him “the fat dancer from Take That”.
In response, Williams sent the guitarist a pair of tap dancing shoes with a note that bragged he played Knebworth for longer than Oasis, which said: “Dear Mr N Gallagher. You said that two nights at Knebworth is history. Well, I guess three is just greedy. Yours, Rob.”

Justin Bieber cancels shows due to illness

OHMYGOSSIP — Justin Bieber has been forced to cancel upcoming shows due to illness.
The ‘Love Yourself’ hitmaker was due to perform in Toronto, Canada at the Scotiabank Arena on June 7 and 8, but he has postponed the dates alongside a planned show in Washington, DC on June 10 as part of his ‘Justice’ world tour.
He wrote on his Instagram Story: “Can’t believe I’m saying this. I’ve done everything to get better but my sickness is getting worse.
“My heart breaks that I will have to postpone these next few shows (doctors orders).
“To all my people I love you so much and I’m gonna rest and get better! (sic)”
The 28-year-old star didn’t give any details on his illness.
Meanwhile, Justin and his wife Hailey Bieber were reportedly denied entry into one of New York City’s swankiest restaurants after they turned up over the weekend without booking a table.
The couple hit the town in Manhattan on Saturday night (04.06.22) after Justin’s concert at the Barclays Center and headed to exclusive eaterie Carbone in Greenwich Village but they reportedly didn’t get in.
A source told E! Online: “They tried to get into Carbone, but they got denied.”
The insider went on to claim the pair turned on their heels and headed to nearby restaurant Socialista instead where they “had a great time”.
After moving on from the city, he is set to be back in the Big Apple next week for two shows at Madison Square Garden on June 13 and 14.
The couple’s outing comes after Hailey recently opened up about having therapy to cope with life in the spotlight.
In a video on her YouTube channel, she said: “There are several things I like to do to check in with myself. “One of those things being talk to somebody you trust.”
Hailey continued: “It’s something that I felt not sure of in the beginning.
“But the more I’ve grown my relationship with my therapist, it has been such a game changer for me and it’s a space where I feel really safe to be able to talk about what’s going on in my mind, say things out loud and feel safe and not feel judged.”

Jack White demands more gun control in wake of Texas school massacre

OHMYGOSSIP — Jack White is demanding greater gun control in the US as the country’s gun debate has left him exhausted and fearing for people’s safety.
His call comes after a teenage gunman massacred 19 children and two teachers in America’s latest mass school shooting, on Tuesday (24.05.22) at Robb Elementary, Texas.
White, 46, raged on Instagram he was “exhausted” with the “ignorant excuses about the inability to fix this problem”.
‘The White Stripes’ frontman also and called for greater control of guns in America,
He ranted about touring the US under the cloud of gun massacres: “As we tour in Texas these past few days, I can’t help but to feel saddened in so many ways about the latest in a long line of mass shootings, but mostly I’m exhausted. Exhausted with the ignorant excuses about the inability to fix this problem, exhausted with people clinging to their political party or their ‘side’ instead of looking at the issue.
“Exhausted with people whining about their ‘freedom’ being more important than rules that help save lives. Like the traffic light on the road, and the warning label on the poison, or the regulation of who can buy sticks of dynamite or own a surface to air missile, we already have rules, haven’t you noticed?

Panic! At The Disco to make comeback with new single this week

OHMYGOSSIP — Panic! At The Disco will return with their first new music in four years on Wednesday (01.06.22).
Brendon Urie’s solo project is set to release the comeback single ‘Viva Las Vengeance’ this week, after teasing fans with a series of cryptic clues.
Earlier this month, the pop punk star directed fans to the website shutupandgotobed.com, which pointed towards new music dropping on June 1.
Upon clicking on the site, fans were asked to enter their age, email address and bedtime into a sleep calculator.
They then pressed “calculate” before being told “don’t be a diva, it’s time to be free”, and you “need to wake up at 6!01”, which turns out to be the release date for the new song.
Fans are also reminded to “set your alarm, so you know when to wake up”, while a short preview of the track is played.
The ‘I Write Sins Not Tragedies’ rockers are confirmed to be the owners of the website upon agreeing to receive marketing messages.
Over the weekend, the Panic! socials shared the six-second preview of the song and teased that “so much more” than the new music is on the way.
The clip is captioned on Twitter: “Don’t touch that dial Viva Las Vengeance (and so much more) coming June 1st at 10am ET.”
Panic!’s last album was 2018’s ‘Pray for the Wicked’, the second as a solo act.
Brendon has kept a relatively low profile over the past couple of years.
However, in 2020, he blasted then-President Donald Trump for using his song ‘High Hopes’ during his campaign rally.
The ‘Me!’ hitmaker took to Twitter to tell Trump to “stop playing my song” and to call on his fellow Americans to join him in “voting this monster out” in the November presidential election.
He fumed: “Dear Trump Campaign, f*** you. You’re not invited. Stop playing my song. No thanks, Brendon Urie, Panic! At The Disco and company.
“Dear Everyone Else, Donald Trump represents nothing we stand for. The highest hope we have is voting this monster out in November. Please do your part: headcount.org.”
