Drake teased that "FOMO" is set to drop on Sept. 15.
For weeks, Drake has been teasing a new project. While what it is exactly, is still unknown, the rapper revealed it’s title and release date on Thursday.
“Fear of Missing Out†is scheduled to reveal itself on Sept. 15 at 9 p.m. on YouTube — though it remains unclear whether that time is Eastern, Pacific, or local. Drake first began hinting at his latest offering on social media last month, sharing photos of his family alongside the caption: “FOMO 2026.†Two weeks later, he followed that up with an image of a CD cover titled “Fear of Missing Out.â€
Fans online have speculated whether it’s an upcoming album, tour, or music video. The project, of course, could also be something else entirely.

Drake is no stranger to making his project reveals as elusive and difficult as possible. In April, the artist hid the release date for his Iceman trilogy in a gigantic block of ice plopped in a downtown Toronto parking lot. Fans climbed onto the glacial block with sledgehammers — one even brought a blowtorch and hairspray — in attempts to access the big reveal.
The rapper’s rollout had been underway since the previous summer, when he put out a multipart livestream that included the hourlong “Iceman Episode 1,†featuring a van from the local business the Iceman Toronto.
Earlier this week, Drake made a surprise appearance at Don Toliver‘s concert in Toronto, performing tracks off his Iceman LP live for the first time. “I just wanna thank Don for having me out tonight,†Drake told the crowd. “This is my first time performing the album since it dropped, so thank you for being here. Look, I love this thing that we do so much in front of the city, I just want to thank you for keeping this shit alive.â€
Whether his appearance was a clue about his FOMO project or a possible collaboration with Toliver … also remains unclear.
Will Oasis hit the road next summer? That is potentially in the cards according to Noel Gallagher.
The musician added to the rumors that there is a 2027 Oasis tour in the works during an appearance on talkSPORT’s Drive. When host Andy Goldstein asked about the tour rumors, Gallagher first downplayed the possibility, joking, “It’s Liam, isn’t it? He’s not into it. He’s not into Oasis anymore.â€
Goldstein replied that he heard Gallagher’s brother and bandmate recently quit social media. “Well, then there must be something happening,†Gallagher responded. “Well, let’s put it this way: there’s no football tournament on next year, so we’ve got to do something in the summer, right?â€
Oasis have not officially confirmed a return to the road. However, there have been numerous reports that the band is planning another big tour, which could include a return to U.K. venue Knebworth. In 1996, Oasis famously played there to 250,000 people across two nights and some have speculated they will attempt to recapture the magic.
Last month, Liam responded to reports that Oasis would headline Glastonbury in 2027. “It’s not happening so all you croc wearing flag waving shit cunts can calm the fuck down,†he told fans on social media.
Oasis spent much of 2025 on the road performing their highly-anticipated reunion tour. Throughout the run, the musicians dropped a few hints that they were planning to return. In September, when the band wrapped their London shows, Gallagher issued a slew of thank yous, ending with one for the fans. “Most of all, I wanna thank you lot for keeping the faith and putting this band back on the map,†he said, adding a few moments later: “See you next year!â€
Oasis will release a new documentary, Don’t Look Back in Anger, in IMAX theaters on Sept. 11 before the film arrives on Hulu and Disney+ later this year. It was created by Peaky Blinders’ Steven Knight and directed by Dylan Southern and Will Lovelace.
“The Oasis world tour united generations, cultures and countries and spoke to a broken world about reconciliation,†Knight said in a statement. “Don’t Look Back In Anger is not only your ticket to the show – it’s a backstage pass and a seat at the table when Liam and Noel sit down together for the first time in 15 years and tell it how it is and how it was.â€
Katy Perry performs during the FIFA World Cup 2026 at Los Angeles Stadium in June
Katy Perry reflected on her public breakup from Orlando Bloom and growing relationship with Justin Trudeau in a new interview. The singer told People that she credits her Lifetimes Tour for connecting her to the former Canadian prime minister.
Perry explained that “last year was really hard,†however the tour gave her the opportunity to find a new sense of self. “I learned how to step back into my purpose,†she said. “And I got the greatest gift from this tour: I got to meet the love of my life.â€
She added of the tour, which kicked off in April 2025, “A lot of people said I couldn’t do it and gave me a lot of flak — and I did it. Some people are like, ‘Cringe, cringe, cringe.’ But I’m living my fucking life to the fullest!â€
The Lifetimes Tour was a few months underway when Perry and Bloom, her fiancé at the time, announced their split. Perry recalled being in Australia when the news came out last July. “It was probably the hardest time,†she said. “My friends were all hanging out back home. I was crying and just feeling far away. But then my angels went to work. They really showed up.â€
Perry and Trudeau were first spotted together later that month. “I got to meet Justin on tour, and then things shifted,†she told People. She said she made a list of things she wanted to manifest, including “true love.†“I think that’s where we’re at,†she said, adding that she believes things happen for a reason.
“I wouldn’t have stayed in something for nine years if there wasn’t really important things to learn,†she said. “Each relationship is a teacher, right? I had to let it go so I could move forward. I always wanted this epic legendary love, and I was talking to my therapist about it: Everything in my life is epic, but this is kind of the missing puzzle piece — then it showed up.â€
She added of Trudeau, who has come to several of her concerts, “He knows the words, he’s supportive, and he’s in awe. It’s super healing.â€
Perry’s new concert film, The Lifetimes Tour – Live from Paris, arrived in cinemas yesterday. Directed by Paul Dugdale, the film is comprised of Perry’s Lifetimes Tour at the Accor Arena in Paris, where she hit the stage on Nov. 4 and 5, 2025. The 25-song set was captured with 60 cameras, as the pop star flew around on a butterfly and sang classics like “California Gurls†and “Firework.â€
The Lifetimes Tour spanned 91 dates, 23 countries, and five continents, and marked Perry’s first official run in seven years.
Lisa in Always Lalisa
Early last year, Blackpink rapper and singer Lisa stepped into the spotlight on her own with Alter Ego, her debut solo album. She had explored solo projects in smaller endeavors before, like the 2021 EP Lalisa, but a full-length was a much bigger undertaking. Lisa captured the pressure and lessons that came with the experience in the documentary film Always Lalisa, arriving in theaters internationally on Oct. 12.
Directed by Sue Kim, Always Lalisa follows Lisa as she builds her solo career outside of Blackpink while balancing global stardom and personal developments in the public eye. Her journey includes not only music, but fashion, television, and the personal brand she has developed around these different sectors.
“Following Lisa on this transformative and thrilling year has been a true honor and a cinematic gift,†Kim said in a statement last year, when production on the documentary began. “There have been so many moments on her journey that I think will surprise people and give a glimpse into her world that no one’s ever seen before. I’m excited for viewers to watch the film and witness this extraordinary moment in her life.â€
“This has been such an incredible year and I’m so lucky to have the opportunity to capture these special moments on film and share the experience with my fans,†Lisa said at the time. “Working with Sue Kim has been such a joy. We’ve been all around the world together and I know this is just the beginning of many more exciting things to come.â€
Following the theatrical release of Always Lalisa, the documentary will be made available to stream exclusively on YouTube Premium. Tickets for the IMAX screenings of the film go on sale on Sept. 9.
“LISA’s music resonates with fans across the globe and we hope this film creates that same powerful connection,†said Sony Music Vision President Tom Mackay. “Alongside its theatrical release, we’re thrilled to partner with YouTube Premium to bring this intimate look at her incredible journey directly to audiences around the world, wherever they are.â€
Always Lalisa arrives just under two weeks before the release of Press Play, a six-track project featuring the upcoming single “Sawadika,†out Sept. 3. The record will reflect a deeper exploration of the 29-year-old’s Thai roots and lean into a more personal approach to her solo output. Press Play is set for release on Oct. 23. In November, Lisa will make history as the first K-pop artist to stage a Las Vegas residency.
Last month, Lisa celebrated the tenth anniversary of Blackpink in an Instagram post. “Thank you so much to all the Blinks who were there with me throughout these ten years,†she said. “Because of your support, you are the ones who keep me going and I promise to keep working hard to do the same for you. I strive to be a better version of myself to make you guys proud. And to my ride or die members, its been a rollercoaster of a ride but I wouldn’t have it any other way. There will be ups and downs but we are in it together and know that I will always have your back.â€
The Society of Composers, Authors and Music Publishers of Canada (SOCAN) is taking its battle over artificial intelligence and copyright to court, announcing today it has filed a lawsuit against AI music company Suno Inc. over its alleged unauthorized use and reproduction of musical works represented by the Canadian performing rights organization.
In a statement Wednesday, SOCAN said it has identified Suno-generated outputs that are identical or similar to songs in its repertoire, notably songs by by artists like Avril Lavigne and Joni Mitchell. The organization says the lawsuit includes a sample of 150 publicly available Suno outputs that it believes infringe the performing rights attached to those works.
According to the release, Suno has built its generative AI platform by training its models on music files readily accessible online without obtaining the necessary permissions or licences. The organization alleges that the resulting technology can generate and publicly stream music that replicates existing compositions, including works represented by SOCAN members.
The lawsuit focuses on Suno's activities in Canada, alleging that making the platform available to Canadian users, generating outputs that replicate songs in SOCAN's repertoire and streaming those outputs constitutes infringement of performing rights.
“SOCAN has a responsibility to act when the rights of music creators and publishers are put at risk,†CEO Jennifer Brown said in the statement. “Innovation can’t come at the expense of human creativity.â€
SOCAN's chief legal officer and general counsel Andrea Kokonis said the organization is seeking to establish that existing copyright protections remain applicable as the technology develops. “Our evidence is clear, and so is our objective: to establish that AI companies must respect the rights of music creators and publishers,†Kokonis said.
The organization declined to comment beyond what is contained in the court record. Suno has not yet publicly responded to the allegations in SOCAN's announcement.
D4vd in Los Angeles County Superior Court.
Patrick Steinfeld, the lawyer representing the family of the 14-year-old girl D4vd is accused of sexually assaulting, murdering, and dismembering, is disputing the singer’s claim that he is indigent and entitled to a public defender.
In a statement obtained by Rolling Stone, the lawyer for the family of Celeste Rivas Hernandez alleges the singer, whose real name is David Anthony Burke, is concealing assets in companies he owns and through money he transferred to his mother, Colleen Burke. Steinfeld argues that the public should be angered that a platinum-selling artist is seeking publicly funded representation.
“It is unfathomable that our justice system qualifies David Anthony Burke as indigent when D4VD has 5+ billion streams with 16 million monthly listeners on a single streaming platform, and controls three corporations,†Steinfeld wrote in the statement. “The residents of Los Angeles County should be outraged because it will be the taxpayers that are picking [up] the tab to defend this millionaire on charges of murder, continuous sexual assault of a minor under 14 years of age, and unlawful mutilation of human remains.â€
Steinfeld quoted from testimony at Burke’s preliminary hearing, where Deputy District Attorney Beth Silverman questioned Benjamin Greger, a former financial manager at Burke’s management company, Mogul Vision. Greger testified that Burke took home roughly $10 million to $11.5 million in gross earnings through recording, merchandising, and music-publishing deals and that Greger discussed transferring Texas properties held in Burke’s name to his mother, Colleen Burke.
“Do you remember testifying that the reason you told her to do that was to protect his estate from any civil suit, so the victim’s family wouldn’t be able to…get…that money?†Silverman asked at the hearing in July.
“I do recall, yes,†Greger testified.
The Rivas Hernandez family attended each day of the preliminary hearing but did not speak to the media during the proceeding.
“We as a family only want justice for Celeste and for whoever is responsible to face the full force of the law. And we thank everyone for supporting our daughter in every way,†the family said in a new statement shared with Rolling Stone this week.
Burke, 21, was arrested in April and pleaded not guilty to his charges at a rearraignment on Monday. His lawyer, Los Angeles County Public Defender Walid Kandeel, began representing D4vd immediately Monday after Burke’s high-powered private legal team, including Blair Berk and Marilyn Bednarski, handed the case over to him.
At the hearing, Los Angeles County Superior Court Judge Charlaine Olmedo asked Kandeel if his office needed more time “to see if Mr. Burke qualifies†for a public defense. Kandeel said the office was “prepared†to move forward and was seeking appointment.
“We’re not at liberty to disclose financial information. Our office has done a thorough financial evaluation and determined that David Burke is eligible for representation by the Public Defender’s Office,†a spokesperson for the office said in a statement sent to Rolling Stone.
Judge Olmedo decided in July that there was enough evidence to send Burke to trial. Prosecutors say Burke sexually abused Rivas Hernandez for more than a year before killing her in April 2025 when she threatened to expose the alleged abuse. They claim he dismembered her in his garage using a chainsaw and hid her remains in the front trunk of his Tesla.
