The Beatles appear to be teasing fans with news to come.
The Rock & Roll Hall of Fame band’s website now has a countdown clock that appears to end on Wednesday at 7 p.m. BST, or 2 p.m. ET, along with the tag line, “Good things come to those who Wait.”
The post also includes a video that features a tree and an apple rolling through a field of weeds.
The bottom of the post urges fans to sign up to the official Beatles mailing list, noting, “Exciting news is coming soon.”
So far there have been no other hints as to what the band may be ready to reveal.
The last time The Beatles teased fans about upcoming news was back in August 2025, which turned out to be reissues of their Anthology project. That included the rerelease of the Anthology documentary series, with a new episode; a reissue of the Anthology music collection, with a new fourth album; and a rerelease of the Anthology book.

A new documentary about Jimmy Buffett and the Coral Reefer Band is on the way, and fans are getting their first look at the film.
A new trailer has just been released for Occupational Hazard: The First Coral Reefers, which had its premiere at the 2026 Santa Barbara Film Festival in February.
The film, narrated by actor Jeff Bridges, uses rare, never-before-seen archival footage and personal interviews to tell the story of Buffett and his longtime backing band. According to the description, “the film explores the musicians, friendships, touring years, and studio sessions that helped shape Buffett’s legendary sound.”
“The origin story of Jimmy Buffett’s Coral Reefer Band is fundamental for anyone interested in the history of music in this country,” says the film’s director, John H. Cunningham. “Long before the polished, world-renowned band that fans came to know over the last three decades, there was the original cast of fun-loving, irreverent, hard-partying musicians who, in the 1970s, laid the foundation for what would become one of the longest-running, most prolific, and successful touring acts in rock and roll history.”
Occupational Hazard: The First Coral Reefers is set to hit theaters in major cities on Sept. 4, which coincides with the annual Jimmy Buffett Day. The film will then get an On Demand/digital release in October.

Poison frontman Bret Michaels has postponed dates on his Live & Amplified World Tour after undergoing surgery to remove a kidney stone.
According to a post on Facebook, Michaels was diagnosed “with a complicated obstructing kidney stone requiring immediate surgery” on July 19.
“Due to the nature of Michaels’ post-operative condition and underlying health factors (diabetes, lower back compression fracture), he is restricted from performing for the next 3 to 4 weeks and only prescribed light physical activity as part of his recovery,” the post continues. It notes he "must strictly refrain from all live performances" until he's reevaluated by doctors to determine "when he can safely resume touring."
“I’m forever grateful for the amazing medical treatment and ongoing medical attention throughout my personal life and career, and truly grateful for family, friends, fans, band, crew and promoters for their understanding,” Michaels writes in the post. “[A]nd, if all goes well, will hit the road late August back to delivering 1000% energy, intensity and truly nothing but a good time.”
Updates on Michaels’ tour, and any rescheduled dates, can be found at BretMichaels.com. According to the site, Michaels’ next show was supposed to take place July 30 in Interlochen, Michigan.

There’s going to be a mini Van Halen reunion at the upcoming TEDxFargo conference in Fargo, North Dakota.
Van Halen drummer Alex Van Halen was previously announced for a virtual talk with artist Alex Vargas, happening on Thursday. Now it’s been announced that original Van Halen frontman David Lee Roth will be joining the conversation, as well.
The Instagram post announcing Roth’s addition bills it as “Three icons. One stage. One conversation you won't want to miss.”
Vargas noted in the comments of the post that the trio’s conversation will be conducted remotely, but live “with the three of us in the same room.”
And folks who are not participating in the TedxFargo event will eventually get a chance to hear what the former bandmates have to say. According to the post, the conversation will be posted to YouTube “in a few weeks for the public to view for all time.”
Vargas is known for painting a 17-foot-tall mural of Eddie Van Halen on a wall of the Guitar Center in Hollywood, California.
Roth’s addition to the talk comes just days after he canceled all but one of the remaining dates on his summer tour. He is still scheduled to perform at the Sturgis Motorcycle Rally in Sturgis, South Dakota, on Aug. 7.
Over his more than five decades of writing songs with Elton John, Bernie Taupin has only occasionally stepped into the spotlight. But he's about to do it again with his new solo album, The Sea Has No Mercy.
Due Oct. 23, the album is the first Taupin has written entirely on his own. He describes it as a "late-life manifesto," inspired by his 2023 autobiography, Scattershot, and an upcoming documentary about his life.
"I couldn’t have made this album as a younger man. I couldn’t have written any of these songs. They’re all completely indicative of Bernie Taupin at 76-years-old," he says in a statement. "They need the life behind them."
"Everything on this record is hugely personal," he adds. "Every single line, every word, means something to me, whether from a past, present or storytelling perspective.”
Among the guests on the album are country star Lee Ann Womack, Brandi Carlile — who worked with Taupin on her and Elton's joint album Who Believes In Angels? — and Taupin's younger daughter, Georgey Devon Taupin.
The title track is out now. Taupin says, "The sea is the most intimidating, frightening element on earth. ... But it fascinates me. ... In the song, I use the sea as a metaphor for too many past experiences that weren’t particularly positive."
As for his day job, Taupin tells Rolling Stone that Elton has "got a record coming out, I think, at the beginning of next year that I contributed to." He explained that because Elton could no longer read Taupin's lyrics at the piano because of his vision problems, he wrote the instrumental tracks first and then asked Taupin to write lyrics for them, reversing their usual creative process.
"It’s a whole different ballgame for him," notes Taupin.

The life and legacy of Rock & Roll Hall of Famer Janis Joplin will be the subject of a new graphic novel coming in October.
Janis Joplin: Pearl, a 128-page hardcover book, is described as “a raw, intimate portrait of an artist who gave every piece of herself to the music.”
“Joplin lived loud, loved hard, burned fast, and left behind a voice that still sounds like freedom, heartbreak, rebellion, and truth all at once,” the description adds.
The book was written by Eric Gladstone, illustrated by Marika Cresta, colored by Fares Maese and lettered by Micah Myers. According to a press release, it follows Joplin “at the height of her power, as she claws her way from a San Francisco breakout star to full-blown cultural icon.”
Janis Joplin: Pearl is available for preorder now and will ship Oct. 28. In addition to the standard book, it will be released as a set with a digital access card and Pearl poster, and as a limited-edition set that comes with the card and poster, as well as a T-shirt, enamel pin, tote bag and Polaroid with a handwritten Janis quote.
A stage adaptation of Prince’s Purple Rain is coming to Broadway next spring.
Producer Orin Wolf has announced that the musical, which was first announced back in January 2024, will begin previews at New York's Majestic Theatre on March 12, 2027, with an official opening date of April 12, 2027.
The production will feature over 20 Prince hits, including such songs as "When Doves Cry," "I Would Die 4 U," "Take Me with You" and "The Beautiful Ones."
The musical will be set in Minneapolis in 1984, and like the original film, it centers around a magnetic performer known as The Kid. According to the description, he "seems like the perfect frontman to lead his bandmates to stardom. But when his past threatens everything he's built, he’ll have to sing his way out of the darkness and into the spotlight where he belongs."
The musical will be directed by Saheem Ali, Tony-nominated for Buena Vista Social Club, with a book by Peter Duchan, music by MJ The Musical Tony winner Jason Michael Webb and choreography by Ebony Williams.
So far no cast for the Broadway production has been announced. Tickets will go on sale in September.
Released in July 1984, Purple Rain grossed close to $70 million in the United States. The soundtrack was Prince’s first #1 and spent 24 weeks on the top of the chart.
'Queen Budapest' concert (Sony Music Vision/Trafalgar Releasing)
Queen performed a historic concert in Budapest in 1986, making them the first Western rock artists to perform behind the Iron Curtain. Now, in celebration of the milestone’s 40th anniversary, the concert is coming to the big screen.
Queen Budapest, a recording of the July 27, 1986, concert at Budapest’s Népstadion, is set open in cinemas and IMAX worldwide on Oct. 7. The film has been restored in 4K by Peter Jackson’s Park Road Post Production in New Zealand and will feature newly remixed audio.
“For years, fans behind the Iron Curtain had been able to listen to Queen music only on illegal cassettes. It was a forbidden thing to listen to rock bands like us, so to see them play in a live show would have been unthinkable,” says Queen’s Brian May. “This concert, when they could finally come and see us live in person and interact with us, was a huge emotional moment for them and also for us." He added, "There will never be an event quite like that again.”
The concert was a stop on the band’s The Magic Tour and was the final filmed Queen live performance with frontman Freddie Mercury. It features performances of Queen classics like “We Will Rock You,” “We are the Champions,” “Bohemian Rhapsody," "Radio Ga Ga" and more.
Prior to the Oct. 7 opening, the restored Queen Budapest will have its world premiere at the Budapest Classics Film Marathon on Sept. 15. There will also be a U.K. premiere in London on Sept. 30.
The soundtrack to Queen Budapest will be released on Oct. 30 digitally and as a three-LP or two-CD set, as well as on Blu-ray and DVD.
More info on the Oct. 7 screenings can be found at QueenBudapest.com.

Bon Jovi hit the stage Sunday night for night nine of their nine-show stand at New York’s Madison Square Garden, and they brought out Bruce Springsteen to help them close the show.
As seen in fan shot footage posted to YouTube, Jon Bon Jovi introduced The Boss after finishing up “Bad Medicine,” the second song in their encore.
“I’m gonna bring up somebody very special ... that’s showed us that hope is more than a bumper sticker, it is something we can actually hang on to,” Jon told the crowd. “His songs have entertained us, they have educated us. For 50 years he has been a beacon of light and of truth. Will you please welcome my friend, my brother and the poet laureate of our series of rock and roll. Ladies and gentleman the one and only Bruce Springsteen.”
As Springsteen took the stage, Jon then called him the “king of the great state of New Jersey.” The rockers then launched into the Bon Jovi hit “Who Says You Can’t Go Home,” before teaming up for the Springsteen's “The Promised Land.”
And Springsteen wasn’t the only guest of the night. Earlier in the evening the band brought out The War and Treaty to perform “The People’s House.”
While technically this was the final night of the MSG stint of the Forever Tour, there’s still no word about what the band plans to do about rescheduling their July 23 show, which was cut short because Jon was suffering from a sinus infection. At the time he told fans to hold on to their tickets and that they were going to try and reschedule.
The Forever Tour next hits Edinburgh, Scotland, on Aug. 28. A complete list of dates can be found at BonJovi.com.

Carly Simon has revealed that she has been diagnosed with Parkinson's disease.
Simon, 81, shared the diagnosis in a statement to ABC News on Monday, explaining that she has spent time learning to live with the progressive neurological disorder and deciding whether to discuss it publicly.
"So many people have written to me, kindly wondering about my relative silence, asking how I am and what I have been doing. The truth is, I've been learning how to live with Parkinson's disease," Simon said.
"It has taken me some time to understand the diagnosis, to adjust to it, and to decide how much I wanted to say about it publicly," she continued. "Parkinson's is different for everyone, and it can be unpredictable. Some days I’m so tired I can’t get the day moving at all. On others, it gives me a little more room to move, think, work, and feel like myself."
The "You're So Vain" singer said her health problems began with arthritis in both knees and one hip. She eventually underwent three joint replacement surgeries and initially believed her difficulty walking was part of the recovery process.
"But my mobility continued to worsen. I had trouble standing up from low chairs and deep couches without someone offering me an arm," Simon said.
Simon said there were eventually periods when she could not walk without "considerable help."
"My family and I knew that something more was going on. After an extensive evaluation at the Mayo Clinic, I was diagnosed with Parkinson's," she said.
Simon said she began treatment, including medication to help with stiffness and other symptoms.
Parkinson's disease is a progressive neurological disorder that primarily affects movement. An estimated 1.1 million people in the U.S. are living with Parkinson's, and nearly 90,000 people are diagnosed each year, according to the Parkinson's Foundation.
Common movement symptoms include tremors, stiffness, slowed movement and balance problems, according to the National Institute of Neurological Disorders and Stroke. Parkinson's can also cause non-movement symptoms, including depression, anxiety, apathy, sleep problems and cognitive changes.
Simon said apathy has been particularly difficult for her to explain.
"It is not simply sadness or laziness. It is as though the part of the brain that sends out invitations to participate in life has temporarily misplaced the guest list," she said.
There is currently no cure for Parkinson's, but treatments can help manage symptoms and improve quality of life.
Simon also revealed she was treated for basal cell carcinoma on her face during the same period. She said the cancer was removed, but the surgery affected her appearance and made her more self-conscious about being seen publicly.
"Between my mobility issues, the Parkinson’s diagnosis, the surgery, and the emotional effects of it all, withdrawing from public view was the most palatable reaction," Simon said.
Despite those health challenges, Simon said she has continued working, including recording a new album, Comes in Waves, which is scheduled for release Aug. 14.
"Working on the music gave shape to days that did not always have much shape. It gave me somewhere to go without having to leave the room. It reminded me that illness can change your life without becoming the whole of your life," she said.
Simon, whose career spans more than five decades, has won two Grammy Awards and an Academy Award for "Let the River Run," from the 1988 film Working Girl.
"I do not consider Parkinson's a gift or a blessing. It is neither. It is difficult, frustrating, and sometimes frightening," Simon said. "I am still learning how to live with it and how to accept it without feeling that I have surrendered something essential."
Simon concluded her statement by thanking her children, family, friends, caregivers and medical professionals for their support.
"These days I move more slowly, I lean on others more than I once did, and I have learned to accept that every day will look a little different. But I am still very much here," she said.
Poster for 'WHAM! 10 Days In China' (Trafalgar Releasing)
The new documentary WHAM! 10 Days In China hits theaters Tuesday, exploring the duo’s 1985 concerts in Beijing and Guangzhou.
The concerts made George Michael and Andrew Ridgeley the first Western pop group to perform in China. But believe it or not, that’s not why they went on the tour. The concerts were actually conceived as a way to help them break big in America because Michael didn’t want to do an arena tour in the States.
Ridgeley tells ABC Audio that he originally thought the idea for the tour, conceived by their manager, Simon Napier-Bell, was “utterly mad.”
“It did achieve its purpose, but it was a bold and risky gambit,” Ridgeley says.
The film features never-before-seen footage from an earlier documentary about the tour. In the current film, fans will see both the joys and frustrations Ridgeley and Michael experienced during the trip, especially from Michael, who was often unhappy.
“We set out to illustrate the fullness, a complete picture of as much as it possibly can be,” says Ridgeley. “I think it does give people a genuine glimpse of George as a person.”
The film’s director, Mike Christie, adds that when it comes to Michael he “felt a lot of pressure" making the film, particularly “when you're looking after someone's legacy like that, especially somebody who was already very clear about that persona versus that person.”
“I think we all … set out to stay authentic and true,” he adds.
The film concludes with interviews with fans whose lives were changed after seeing the concerts, with several of them going on to have careers in the music business.
“It was the most gratifying aspect of going back to China to discover that that is the legacy,” says Ridgeley. “It resides within the lives of those whose futures were revealed to them by WHAM's performances. That is a truly quite humbling aspect.”

Michael Stipe fans have been patiently waiting for his long-in-the works solo album, and it appears as though he’s giving them a preview of what's to come.
The R.E.M. frontman has just debuted a new song, “Hum Desiderata,” on the sound exhibition platform Joyfully Waiting.
According to the description, the song “combines Stipe’s recitation of the poem Desiderata by Max Ehrmann from his installation at ICA Milan" with an instrumental track by Stipe and Andy LeMaster. It also features additional vocals from artist Elizabeth Hatmaker.
Stipe talked about his solo album during an appearance on The Late Show with Stephen Colbert in April, sharing that it is finally set to be released at the end of 2026. He also debuted a song from the record, "The Rest of Ever,” backed by the Colbert house band, Louis Cato and The Great Big Joy Machine.
Stipe also released the song "I Played the Fool," which he recorded with producer Andrew Watt, in March. It's the theme to the HBO series Rooster.
Singers Kiki Dee and Elton John perform at the Dr Pepper Music Festival at Central Park, New York City, 2nd August 1977 (Bettmann / Contributor)
Fifty years ago Friday, Elton John's duet with Kiki Dee, "Don't Go Breaking My Heart," became his first #1 hit in his native U.K., and it stayed on top for six weeks. To mark the occasion, Elton's Rocket fan club has posted to YouTube for the first time a performance of Elton and Kiki performing the song back in November 1977.
The performance was filmed at the Empire Pool, Wembley, England. Elton says in the video, "We weren't gonna do this number. [But] we found out that a certain person was in the country, so we panicked and we said, 'Well, we must do it.' So she has agreed to come on and sing it. It's Kiki Dee, ladies and gentlemen."
The crowd goes crazy as the two perform the hit, which Elton and Bernie Taupin wrote under the fake names Ann Orson and Carte Blanche. It also spent four weeks at #1 on the Billboard Hot 100.
Over the years, Elton and Kiki have sung the song together live more than 10 times, including at his final U.S. tour stop at LA's Dodger Stadium in November 2022. Over the years, Elton has also sung the song with Miss Piggy, RuPaul, Minnie Mouse, the Spice Girls and Ed Sheeran.
U2 landed their third #1 album with their eighth studio release, Zooropa.
The album, inspired by the band’s Zoo TV Tour, had the Irish rockers experimenting with alternative rock and electronic dance music.
Zooropa spent two weeks on top of the chart, despite a lack of hit singles. Three tracks were released from the album — "Numb," featuring spoken word verses by guitarist The Edge, "Lemon" and "Stay (Faraway, So Close!).” Only “Stay (Faraway, So Close!)” hit the Billboard Hot 100, peaking at #61.
The album would go on to win the Grammy for best alternative music album.

David Lee Roth has appeared to cancel all but one of the remaining dates on his Don’t Love Me, Rent Me Tour.
Although there’s been no official announcement, the only show still listed on Roth’s website is his Aug. 7 concert at the Sturgis Motorcycle Rally in Sturgis, South Dakota.
News of the cancellation quickly spread on social media, which prompted a response from Roth’s Van Halen replacement, Sammy Hagar.
“Hey Dave, Sammy here. I just got a call from Michael Anthony ... about your tour getting canceled. And I want to say from the bottom of my heart, I’m sorry," Hagar said in a video posted to social media. “I hope you’re well. I hope there’s not a physical problem.”
“Honestly, Mike and I love the fact that you’ve been out there doing it, supporting the greatest band in the world that we were both part of ... supporting what we did in this band to keep this music alive,” he added.
Hagar also invited Roth to join him at his The Best of All Worlds residency in Las Vegas in September.
“Sing a couple songs, emcee the damn show, come out and just do what the f*** you do, which is pretty damn entertaining,” he said.
In the caption to the post, Hagar wrote that he hoped the news of the tour cancellation wasn't AI, noting, "if it is, my post is still coming from my heart and soul.”
“It is so important that this music carry on especially with the AI music out there. those of us that can still go out and play. should do it as long as they can physically and emotionally carry that torch,” he added. “@vanhalen was, should be, and hopefully always will be real live music, not just for our fans, but for the future fans of real rock music.”
Dutch DJ/producer Martin Garrix and U2 have teamed up for a brand-new song.
The artists have just released the track "Fireflies," which Garrix debuted July 17 at the Tomorrowland in Belgium festival, with U2’s The Edge making a surprise appearance.
While Bono and The Edge previously teamed with Garrix for “We Are the People,” the official song for UEFA Euro 2020, “Fireflies” marks the first time all four members of the band have appeared on a Garrix track.
“’Fireflies’ has a very unique mood and it’s a special song we started working on six summers ago,” says Garrix. “I’ve worked with Bono and Edge before, but working with the whole band I got to get a glimpse of their chemistry and why U2 are who they are. They are incredible friends and collaborators, and it has been an absolute honor to work with them again.”
“We go back a long way with Martin, and there’s always a sense of adventure whenever we get together,” says The Edge. “Playing 'Fireflies' for the first time at Tomorrowland, in front of one of the most passionate festival crowds anywhere, was such a rush ... in fact I might have enjoyed it a bit too much. It reminded me of why I love playing outdoors. I like it better when there’s no ceiling.”
This isn't the first new music we've gotten from U2. Earlier in July the band released “Street of Dreams,” the first single off their upcoming new album, which so far does not have a release date.
