Frontman Records With Classic '70s Rock Band For First Time in 45 Years
Frontman Records With Classic '70s Rock Band For First Time in 45 Years originally appeared on Parade. An iconic 1970s rock band announced this week that they reunited in the studio with their former frontman, 45 years since the last time they all recorded an album together. The Doobie Brothers dropped a new album called Walk This Road on Friday, June 6, and they brought back the iconic Michael McDonald, who was last with the band full-time for the 1980 album One Step Closer. McDonald was a lead vocalist for the Doobie Brothers from 1975 to 1982, then appeared with the band sporadically over the years, but has not been on one of their albums since One Step Closer. The 73-year-old Hall of Fame vocalist also famously performed with Steely Dan, Toto, Christopher Cross and Kenny Loggins. RELATED: Iconic '60s Rocker Talks Wild Times With Elton John, John Lennon, Jimi Hendrix and More McDonald reunites with Doobie Brothers founding members Patrick Simmons (guitar, lead/backing vocals), Tom Johnston (guitar, piano, lead/backing vocals) and John McFee (guitar, steel guitar, backing vocals) to go on tour starting August 4 in order to promote Walk This Road, their 16th studio album. The album also features Mavis Staples and Mick Fleetwood. You can pre-order the 10-track album here. In an interview, McDonald told USA Today that times sure have changed in the recording studio due to all of the technological advances. "The technology has changed, for better or worse… The new procedure is interesting. As you're writing the song, you're recording it into a file, and that is the basis you use for the track, even if it's just a feeling," said McDonald. "So it's kind of fun to feel like the song hasn't had to morph into something else. Some of my fondest memories of being in the studio are the first time I heard the band play 'Takin' It To the Streets.' I was like, wow! When the band started playing it, it took on a whole new life. RELATED: Rock Icon, 78, Being Honored by Trisha Yearwood and James Taylor in Concert About the upcoming tour, Simmons told USA Today that they do realize they are in the 70s now and that makes performing live and the grind of a tour a bit harder, but they've been preparing for it. "I've got a hill I live on and walk it several times a day, and am always working on a project. Not that that counts as calisthenics. But I try to always stay in motion and on the road try to get out and walk every day. We're all in our 70s now. I used to think that was old. I do feel it, but it's hard to believe we're out here doing it at this age, and in my head, I'm still 16. You have to think beyond your age. It's a life adventure," said Simmons. The Doobie Brothers released a string of hits starting in 1972. They are best known for "Listen to the Music," "Jesus Is Just Alright," "Long Train Running'", "China Grove," "Black Water," "Takin' It to the Streets" and "What a Fool Believes." 🎬 SIGN UP for Parade's Daily newsletter to get the latest pop culture news & celebrity interviews delivered right to your inbox 🎬 Later this summer, McDonald, Johnston and Simmons will all be inducted into the Songwriters Hall of Fame in the Performing Songwriters category. Frontman Records With Classic '70s Rock Band For First Time in 45 Years first appeared on Parade on Jun 6, 2025 This story was originally reported by Parade on Jun 6, 2025, where it first appeared.

Brian Wilson, Beach Boys cofounder and 'God Only Knows' genius, dies at 82
Brian Wilson, Beach Boys cofounder and 'God Only Knows' genius, dies at 82 Show Caption Hide Caption Brian Wilson, Beach Boys creative genius, dead at age 82 Brian Wilson, the genius behind sunny Beach Boys songs that helped define popular music in the '60s, has died. Brian Wilson, an eclectic genius whose sunny Beach Boys songs helped define a revved-up era of American popular music, has died at age 82. Wilson's family announced his death on social media Wednesday, June 11, and did not cite a cause. "We are heartbroken to announce that our beloved father Brian Wilson has passed away. We are at a loss for words right now," the post on X read. "Please respect our privacy at this time as our family (is) grieving. We realize that we are sharing our grief with the world. Love & Mercy." USA TODAY has reached out to Wilson's rep for comment. Wilson is survived by daughters from his first marriage, Carnie and Wendy, who achieved success as part of Wilson Phillips, and five adopted children from his second marriage to Melinda Ledbetter. Wilson's epic career arc spanned most of his life and was as defined by prolonged bouts of mental illness as it was by meticulously constructed pop confections. Essential Brian Wilson songs: 'God Only Knows,' 'Good Vibrations' and more Despite decades away from the musical mainstream in the 1970s and '80s, when his psychological torments were most aggressive, Wilson's towering impact was never in question. The sublime harmonizing on beach- and car-themed tunes such as "California Girls" or "Little Deuce Coupe" came to define the Southern California ethos, while the inspired orchestration on the Wilson-produced album "Pet Sounds" caused a bowled-over Beatles to respond with "Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band." Brian Wilson was drawn to music early on and succeeded despite obstacles Wilson achieved such heights despite issues that could have been insurmountable. As a musically precocious child, he was found to have significant hearing loss in his right ear. Its surmised cause ranged from a birth defect to physical abuse at the hands of Wilson's authoritarian father, who in the early days managed the family band that paired siblings with cousins. Wilson was born June 20, 1942 in Inglewood, California, a Los Angeles suburb that would boom in the post-war years as a hub for everything from aerospace jobs to nascent TV production. Wilson was a tall, blond and handsome jock, a football quarterback who was popular at school and not much of a student. His interest in music was consuming and led the teenager to spend hours playing piano and learn the basics of composition and even sound engineering when the gift of a tape recorder found him overdubbing vocals with his brothers and mother. Inspired by the vocal harmonies of groups such as the Four Freshmen, Wilson in the fall of 1961 formed a band with his brothers Carl and Dennis, cousin Mike Love, and friend Al Jardine. Initially, their name was the Pendletones, a reference to the then-popular Pendleton plaid shirt. But the small record label that released their debut single 'Surfin'',' produced by their manager father Murray and a nod to a new beach craze, renamed them the Beach Boys. Only Dennis Wilson actually surfed, but the zeitgeist-nailing moniker stuck. Over the next four years, the Beach Boys ruled the airwaves. Wilson crafted 3-minute harmony-rich pop triumphs aimed at teens much the way his producing idol, Phil Spector, had captured that same audience with his fabled Wall of Sound effects. Celebrating cars, surfing and teen romance, the hits poured from Wilson's pen: 'Surfin' U.S.A,' '409,' 'Be True to Your School,' 'California Girls.' But Wilson's ambitions almost immediately ranged far beyond simply appearing in a popular act. In 1963 alone, the 22-year-old wunderkind had sung, produced, arranged and otherwise guided dozens of songs for groups such as Jan and Dean, the Honeys and the Castells. But a challenge to his genius would soon arrive from overseas. Beach Boys, Beatlemania and the perfection of 'Pet Sounds' Just as Wilson and the Beach Boys were enjoying chart-topping success with 'I Get Around' and its B-side, 'Don't Worry Baby,' Beatlemania swept the U.S. Wilson saw the Mop Tops as formidable challengers and rivals to his band's otherwise undisputed stranglehold on the airwaves. While that rivalry caused Wilson to double down in the studio, it also started to reveal cracks in his fragile psyche that soon would turn into debilitating chasms. By the mid-'60s, Wilson had begged off most Beach Boys tours so he could stay in the studio and avoid the public limelight, with Bruce Johnston eventually replacing him permanently on tour. Frustration over being pigeon-holed as a surf band grew, as did increasingly emotional outbursts and rumors of growing drug use, particularly acid. Nevertheless, after being holed up for months at home writing music, Wilson unveiled a masterpiece in May 1966. 'Pet Sounds,' which included now-classic songs ranging from the theremin-infused 'Good Vibrations' to the aching 'God Only Knows,' didn't immediately strike a chord with fans, but it knocked out the Beatles. The Fab Four used 'Pet Sounds' as inspiration for taking their own studio adventures to new heights and responded in May 1967 with their own coup de grace, "Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band." Wilson then planned his own response to the Beatles opus was a new album called 'Smile.' But that effort would only see the light of day in 2011. Brian Wilson's mental health and fraught relationships Instead of a new triumph, Wilson descended into seclusion. In later years, he would be diagnosed as having schizoaffective disorder, a mental health condition marked by hallucinations, depression and paranoia. Often, he heard voices. Cloistered in his Bel Air mansion, Wilson did drugs and ate obsessively. Although Wilson stayed connected with the group he founded and would offer a range of creative input from his isolation, his condition became more extreme after the death of the family patriarch in 1973. Stories circulated of Wilson's strange behavior, including rumors of him rarely leaving his bed, impromptu appearances at Los Angeles clubs in just a bathrobe and slippers, and turning away visiting stars such as Paul and Linda McCartney. Carnie Wilson calls Beach Boys dad Brian Wilson 'the strongest person I know' In 1976, Wilson managed a bit of a comeback into public life after going into the care of controversial psychologist Eugene Landy. But the comeback would not last. Although able to still function in the studio on occasion, Wilson resumed his self-destructive routine, eventually overdosing in 1982. Family members then asked Landy to return, who agreed on the condition that he be able to take over all of Wilson's affairs. A destructive relationship ensued. In 1988, the album 'Brian Wilson' marked the singer and producer's return to the musical spotlight, generally receiving positive reviews. But it was largely overshadowed by the Beach Boys' own hit 'Kokomo,' their first hit since 'Good Vibrations' and a song that had no input from their founder. Wilson's solo outings were emblematic of the schism that had developed between him and the group he founded. The deepest rift was with cousin and lead singer Love, who in earlier days objected to Wilson veering away from the chart-topping fare of the band's youth in favor of more experimental music such as the sound-effects laden creativity found on "Pet Sounds." Love frequently disparaged Wilson in the media, and later successfully sued his cousin for retroactive songwriting credits. Love also retained the rights to the Beach Boys name, and spent decades touring with some of the original members while Wilson was left to hit the road under his own name. But despite the ongoing tensions, the '90s saw Wilson gradually get his house in order. A conservatorship suit filed by Wilson's family dissolved what remained of Landy's stranglehold on his one-time patient's affairs. Wilson then collaborated in 1995 with producer Don Was on a documentary about his life, 'Brian Wilson: I Just Wasn't Made for These Times,' and in 1999 embarked on his first solo tour. A reinvigorated legacy came later in life for Brian Wilson Finally under traditional medical care and medicine, Wilson was able to better access his gifts in the new millennium. In 2010, he released a well-received album re-imagining George Gershwin staples, the storied composer who allegedly first inspired a young Wilson when he heard 'Rhapsody in Blue' as a child. In 2014, Wilson's life and times were the subject of a well-reviewed biopic called 'Love & Mercy,' starring both John Cusack and Paul Dano as an older and younger Brian Wilson. Reinvigorated in his latter years, Wilson hit the road in 2016 to perform 'Pet Sounds' in its entirety, and continued to entertain fans before and after the COVID-19 pandemic. The inspired young musician who first rounded up a band in his teens saw no reason to stop entertaining as a grandfather, perhaps in part make to up for all those lost decades. 'Retirement? Oh, man. No retiring,' Wilson told Rolling Stone in 2016. 'If I retired I wouldn't know what to do with my time. What would I do? Sit there and go, 'Oh, I don't want to be 74'? I'd rather get on the road.'

Cynthia Erivo Puts Adam Lambert on the Spot & Holds Oprah's Finger in 2025 Tonys Opening Number
Sometimes all you need is a song — but a little support from Oprah Winfrey and Adam Lambert doesn't hurt, either. Cynthia Erivo opened the 2025 Tony Awards on Sunday night (June 8) with a show-stopping number featuring epic cameos from both the talk show legend and American Idol alum. Just before taking the stage in a glittering red gown, the Wicked star — who made her hosting debut at this year's ceremony — ran into Winfrey, who gave her some sage advice. 'The only thing you need to do is just be yourself,' the mogul said before offering up her pointer finger to Erivo, who then hilariously grasped it as a tribute to her viral 2024 'holding space' meme with Ariana Grande. More from Billboard 'Maybe Happy Ending,' 'Sunset Blvd.' Win Key 2025 Tony Awards: Full Winners List Kylie Minogue Joins Prestigious '21 Club' at London's O2 Arena Kevin Parker Previews New Tame Impala Music During Barcelona DJ Set Erivo then embarked on a vocally stunning musical performance of an original song to start the show, during which she shouted out many of the night's honorees and repeated the phrase, 'Sometimes all you need is a song.' Toward the end of the number, she stepped out into the audience at New York City's Radio Music Hall and prompted some of the ceremony's all-star guests to sing the same line. Kristin Chenoweth and Aaron Tveit both gave pitch-perfect on-the-spot deliveries as Erivo held out her microphone to them, but the most memorable was definitely Lambert, who blew the crowd away with spontaneous, dexterous riffs. The Pinocchio actress ended the number back on stage with a full gospel choir backing her up, earning a standing ovation from the crowd. Then it was off to the races, with Erivo helming the program as Darren Criss, Nicole Scherzinger, Cole Escola, Sarah Snook and more all took home statuettes for their performances in various Broadway shows. Maybe Happy Ending won best musical, while the Scherzinger-led Sunset Blvd. won best revival of a musical and Purpose won best play. Erivo's hosting debut comes just one week after she appeared on the cover of Billboard, and two days after she dropped her long-awaited studio album, I Forgive You. In August, she'll play the titular role in a three-night production of Jesus Christ Superstar at the Hollywood Bowl, appearing alongside Lambert, who will portray Judas. Watch Erivo's opening number at the 2025 Tony Awards below.
