Jonas Brothers Drop ‘Live From the O2 London' Album Featuring Unreleased Song ‘When You Know'
While Jonas Brothers fans await the release of the sibling band's Greetings From Your Hometown studio album on Aug. 8, they can keep their summer cool with a live LP that dropped on Friday (June 13). Live From the O2 London is a 24-track collection recorded at the iconic London venue last year, featuring such beloved hits as 'Sucker,' 'Only Human,' 'Waffle House,' 'What a Man Gotta Do,' 'Year 3000' and 'Burning Up.'
Along with those bangers, the album ends with a cover of the Cranberries' 1993 hit 'Dreams,' and also features the unreleased ballad 'When You Know' from their upcoming LP. In addition, the career-spanning live album opens with the 2023 song 'Wings,' and makes pit stops at 'Summer Baby,' 'Vacation Eyes,' 'Play My Music,' 'Fly With Me,' 'Paranoid,' 'Walls' and 'Only Human,' as well as including 'Cake By the Ocean' from Joe Jonas' side band, DNCE.

This year has been all about celebrating the trio's 20th anniversary as a band, which, so far, has included the release of the singles 'Slow Motion' and 'Love Me To Heaven,' as well as the massive JONASCON gathering at New Jersey's American Dream. The band will hit the road for their North American Jonas20: Living the Dream stadium tour slated to kick off on Aug. 10 at MetLife Stadium in East Rutherford, N.J.

Arthur Hamilton, who wrote the enduring ‘Cry Me a River,' dies at 98
It was one of the three songs he wrote for the 1955 film 'Pete Kelly's Blues,' which starred Jack Webb as a jazz musician fighting mobsters in Prohibition-era Kansas City, Missouri. At the time, Webb was also playing his most famous role, Sergeant Joe Friday, on the television series 'Dragnet' (1951-59). Advertisement Peggy Lee, who played an alcoholic performer in the film, sang Mr. Hamilton's 'Sing a Rainbow' and 'He Needs Me.' Ella Fitzgerald, who was also in the film, sang 'Cry Me a River,' but her rendition was cut by Webb, who was also the director and producer. Get Starting Point A guide through the most important stories of the morning, delivered Monday through Friday. Enter Email Sign Up 'Arthur said to me that the irony was that when Ella recorded it' -- years later, for her 1961 album 'Clap Hands, Here Comes Charlie!' -- 'he thought she made one of the greatest recordings of it ever,' Michael Feinstein, the singer and pianist, said in an interview. 'But Jack felt she didn't have the emotional bandwidth to do it justice.' Mr. Hamilton quickly made the song available to London, a friend from high school who was also Webb's ex-wife. It became a hit, rising to No. 9 on the Billboard singles chart in 1955. Advertisement The song is a bitter rebuke from a jilted lover: Now you say you're sorry For being so untrue Well, you can cry me a river, cry me a river I cried a river over you. In an interview with The Wall Street Journal in 2010, Mr. Hamilton explained why he used the phrase 'cry me a river.' 'Instead of 'eat your heart out,' or 'I'll get even with you,' it sounded like a good, smart retort to somebody who had hurt your feelings or broken your heart,' he said. The song has been covered by Barbra Streisand, Joe Cocker, Ray Charles, Aerosmith and, in 2009, the crooner Michael Bublé, who sang it before Queen Elizabeth II. Bublé told The Wall Street Journal in 2010 that the song stood out for its lack of sentimentality. 'There's almost a darkness that sort of distinguishes it from so many other songs,' he said. 'Even if you listen to Julie London's version, it's very dark.' London's 'Cry Me a River' was added to the National Recording Registry at the Library of Congress in 2015. 'Delivered in a soft, breathy style, 'Cry' is basically a revenge anthem, but it nevertheless becomes a romantic come-hither,' Cary O'Dell wrote in an essay for the registry. Arthur Hamilton Stern was born on Oct. 22, 1926, in Seattle, and moved to Los Angeles with his parents when he was a baby. His father, Jack Stern, wrote songs for several films, including 'Folies Bergère de Paris' (1935), which starred Maurice Chevalier, and was also a publicist for Irving Berlin. His mother, Grace (Hamilton) Stern, was a singer who occasionally wrote lyrics for her husband's songs. Advertisement Mr. Hamilton learned to play on the pianos in his house and received a further education from watching performances by the cabaret pianist and singer Bobby Short in a club in Beverly Hills. 'I told people many times, 'I didn't go to college. I went to Bobby Short,'' he said in 2020 on 'The Paul Leslie Hour,' a podcast. Mr. Hamilton wrote the score for a stage musical, 'What a Day,' that was telecast live on the Los Angeles television station KTTV, in 1949; worked for a music publishing company; and signed a contract to write songs for Webb -- first for 'Dragnet,' where his tune 'Any Questions?' was sung in an episode by Peggy King, and then for 'Pete Kelly's Blues. Composing music for 'Pete Kelly's Blues' was a big break for Mr. Hamilton. 'Four years ago,' according to a 1955 article in The Oakland Tribune, 'he was delivering drugs for a chain of local pharmacies. He was a frustrated songwriter who spent his spare time scribbling lyrics on the backs of prescription blanks.' Lee's recording of 'He Needs Me' was included in the album 'Songs From 'Pete Kelly's Blues'' (1955), and the song was later covered by Cleo Laine, Nina Simone and others. Both Bobby Darin and Marvin Gaye recorded it as 'She Needs Me.' In 1970, Mr. Hamilton collaborated with Riz Ortolani on 'Till Love Touches Your Life' for the movie 'Madron,' a western filmed in Israel, which starred Richard Boone as a cowboy and Leslie Caron as a nun. It was nominated for an Oscar for best original song but lost to 'For All We Know,' from 'Lovers and Other Strangers.' Advertisement Mr. Hamilton and Pat Williams were nominated for Primetime Emmys for their songs for the TV movies 'Blind Spot' (1993) and 'The Corpse Had a Familiar Face' (1994). Mr. Hamilton's survivors include his wife, Joyce (Maurer) Hamilton, and a daughter, Claudia Hamilton. His marriage to Mildred Winter ended in divorce. Feinstein, an expert on the Great American Songbook who wrote songs with Hamilton about 15 years ago, said that 'Cry Me a River' resonates in part because its emotional intensity builds throughout. 'Songs that are simply not about the clichéd expressions of love,' he said, 'have the potential to endure longer than the garden variety love song, because they express something that is a catharsis for people.'

Jonas Brothers Cancel Six Stadium Concerts, Including Dodger Stadium; Arena or Amphitheater Gigs Step In as Replacements
The 'Jonas20: Living the Dream Tour' will now be living the downgrade, at least in a half-dozen cities. Jonas Brothers concerts set for stadiums in six U.S. locales this summer have been outrightly canceled, and new shows in arenas or amphitheaters will take their place. Fans were informed of the news Friday in email messages sent from Ticketmaster and on the Brothers' Instagram account. More from Variety Jonas Brothers and Boyz II Men Lead Disneyland's 70th Celebration Album Jonas Brothers Announce 'Jonascon: the Ultimate Jonas Brothers Fan Experience' Chloe Bennet Joins Jonas Brothers in Disney+ Christmas Movie (EXCLUSIVE) The replacement concerts are taking place on the same dates as the canceled gigs, but they are completely separate bookings, so fans will have to buy tickets anew if they still intend on seeing the trio those nights. Ticketholders will receive full refunds automatically sent to their point of purchase, and then will receive priority status on being offered seats when the new shows go on sale next week The affected JoBros dates announced as due for a change are in Los Angeles, Philadelphia, Detroit, Dallas, Washington, D.C., and the Chicago area. Dodger Stadium is the L.A. venue that is getting a downgrade; the show scheduled for Sept. 6 will now take place across town that same date at Intuit Dome in Inglewood. The group was attempting to fill the home of the Dodgers after having just played the massive venue two years ago, which may have had an affect on sales for this relatively quick return. If there is any sense of deja vu to reading about the trajectory the JoBros are taking in L.A., it may be because Linkin Park followed that same path this year. That group announced in March that a Dodger Stadium concert set for Sept. 13 was being canceled and new tickets were being put on sale for a gig that night at Intuit instead. Of all the many boys of summer hitting Chavez Ravine this September, a lot less of them than expected will be musicians. To chart the changes in other cities: The D.C. concert will now take place at Jiffy Lube Live, not Nationals Park, on Aug. 12. The Philly show on Aug. 14 has been rebooked from Citizens Bank Park to Freedom Mortgage Pavilion. The Illinois show has been moved to Tinley Park's Credit Union 1 Amphitheatre, instead of Chicago's Wrigley Field, on Aug. 26. The Detroit concert on Aug. 28 will now be at Little Caesars Arena instead of Comerica park. And Dallas fans can look for them at Dos Equis Pavilion rather than Globe Life Field on Aug. 31. Emails to fans said information about 'first priority pre-sale access' to tickets at the different venues would be sent to their Ticketmaster accounts, specifically earmarked as a 'Past Purchaser presale.' That offer will become available this coming Wednesday at 10 a.m. local time. Not every stadium show is off the Jonas Brothers' itinerary. The tour is still slated to kick off, as scheduled, with an Aug. 10 gig at MetLife Stadium in New Jersey, where a current seating chart shows sales have been fairly robust, and they remain scheduled to play Fenway Park in Boston Aug. 23. Almost all of the other concerts on their 43-city itinerary were always scheduled for arenas. The band conveyed cheerfulness, along with an apology, to fans in posting about the changes on Instagram. 'To the fans, we're so excited to get out and be with you for our 20th Anniversary Tour! Every decision we make is with you in mind, ensuring the best experience for our incredible fans,' the group wrote. 'We're making some venue changes, but rest assured, all performances are still happening on the same dates and in the same cities. We're pouring our hearts into making this the best tour we've ever done, We love performing for you and sharing this journey together… We apologize for any inconvenience these changes have caused and we can't wait to see you on the road!' A new album from the brother trio, 'Live From the O2 Arena,' was released Friday. Their new studio album, 'Greetings From Your Hometown,' will follow on Aug. 8, just two days before the tour kickoff.

Jonas Brothers cancel several upcoming concerts, ditch stadiums for smaller venues
The Jonas Brothers are downscaling their upcoming tour. The "Burnin' Up" musicians announced the cancellation of six concerts for their Jonas20: Living the Dream Tour on Thursday, saying they will replace the upcoming stadium performances with shows at smaller venues on the same dates. "To the fans, we're so excited to get out and be with you for our 20th-anniversary tour!" the band wrote in a statement on social media. "Every decision we make is with you in mind, ensuring the best experience for our incredible fans. We're making some changes, but rest assured, all performances are still happening on the same dates and in the same cities. We're pouring our hearts into making this the best tour we've ever done." The group went on to explain that fans will have to purchase new tickets for the new shows, but those who bought tickets to the canceled concerts will have priority pre-sale access linked to their Ticketmaster accounts. "We apologize for any inconvenience these changes have caused, and we can't wait to see you on the road!" they concluded. The band's August 12 show in Washington, D.C., which was scheduled to take place at Nationals Park, will now be held at Jiffy Lube Live, while the Brothers' gig in Philadelphia on August 14 will be held at the Freedom Mortgage Pavilion rather than Citizens Bank Park. Their August 26 concert in Chicago will take place at the Credit Union 1 Amphitheatre (in the suburb Tinley Park) instead of Wrigley Field, and their August 28 performance in Detroit will happen at Little Caesars Arena instead of Comerica Park. Additionally, the band's Dallas show on August 31 will now be held in the Dos Equis Pavilion rather than the Globe Life Field, and their Los Angeles concert on September 6 will now take place at the Intuit Dome in Inglewood instead of Dodger Stadium. The band is still set to play shows at the MetLife Stadium in East Rutherford, N.J., and Fenway Park in Jonas released his second solo album, Music for People Who Believe in Love, in May. Additionally, Jonas Brothers recently dropped "Love Me to Heaven," the lead single from their eighth studio album, Greetings From Your Hometown. The record is scheduled for release on August 8, just two days before the tour kicks off. The group's supporting acts include the All-American Rejects, Boys Like Girls. and Marshmello.
