Legendary '70s Singer Isn't Worried What Anyone Thinks Ahead of New Album
Talking Heads frontman David Bryne not only has new music on the way, but he's heading out on a world tour soon.
The legendary singer, 73, just announced his album Who Is the Sky?, which is set to be released on September 5.
Ahead of the new release, Bryne revealed in a press statement what's different this go-around, saying, 'At my age, at least for me, there's a 'don't give a sh-t about what people think' attitude that kicks in."
'I can step outside my comfort zone with the knowledge that I kind of know who I am by now and sort of know what I'm doing,' he added.
The upcoming record brings together some major names, including Kid Harpoon, best known for his production on Harry Styles' 'As It Was' and Miley Cyrus' 'Flowers.'
The album also features guest appearances from St. Vincent, Paramore's lead singer Hayley Williams and The Smile drummer Tom Skinner.
Just over a week after the album drops, Byrne will kick off his international tour on September 14 in Rhode Island.
The 2026 leg of the tour will take Byrne across Australia, New Zealand, Europe and the U.K.
According to the press release, the live shows will include 13 other musicians, singers and dancers — all of whom will remain 'mobile' throughout the performance.
Who Is the Sky? marks Bryne's first new album in seven years — his last release, American Utopia, came out in 2018.
Byrne shared what he's been up to during his break, including exploring new hobbies. "I did a LOT of cooking (Mexican and Indian mostly) and a LOT of drawing," he said.
While acknowledging the gap since his last album, Bryne explained how the time away actually helped shape his new music.
"I've found that when the time comes, it's easier to start if there's a little stockpile – and before too long there was. Very rudimentary songs began to emerge, with just me on acoustic guitar singing over a programmed loop or beat."

Jessica Simpson suggests ‘mistakes' were made by estranged husband in candid comments about divorce
Jessica Simpson is not sugarcoating her heartbreak. Simpson, 45, opened up about her unexpected split from Eric Johnson after 10 years of marriage. Although the "Irresistible" singer revealed that the separation wasn't something she saw coming, Simpson didn't shy away from acknowledging that both she and Johnson made missteps in their relationship. "I choose love because if I chose to be resentful or if I chose to let the pain of it overwhelm me, I would fail," she told Parade. She added, "And so I had to choose love and loving people through their mistakes. If I'm going to love through my mistakes, I have to love others through their mistakes. And that really was probably the biggest lesson of all." While Simpson looks ahead and puts the past behind her, she's also returning to music following a 15-year hiatus. In March, she released an EP called "Nashville Canyon, Part 1," and in September, she's set to release the follow-up, "Nashville Canyon, Part 2." "When I was in Nashville and recording, I was going through a really hard time, an unexpected change of life," Simpson reflected. "I don't think I've ever been so confused. But I didn't let the confusion, the heartbreak, the negativity of that hold me back." Simpson emphasized her determination to remain strong — not just for herself, but for her kids and even Johnson. The "Take My Breath Away" singer explained that she needed "to get to a place where I can have grace and compassion for the situation — for the sake of my kids — and be strong for myself, for my kids, for my family, even for Eric. I am a leader." Simpson shares three children with Johnson — daughters Maxwell and Birdie and son Ace. As she goes through a transitional chapter in her life, Simpson said she's looking on the brighter side of things. "It is so important to bright‑side the s--- out of things. I'm a very optimistic person, and I know everything happens for a reason, and I know the truth sets you free." Reps for Simpson did not immediately respond to Fox News Digital's request for comment. In January, Simpson shared that the couple "have been living separately" but did not reveal any details on the timeline of their split. "Eric and I have been living separately, navigating a painful situation in our marriage," Simpson previously said in a statement to People. "Our children come first, and we are focusing on what is best for them. We are grateful for all of the love and support that has been coming our way and appreciate privacy right now as we work through this as a family."
