Post Malone to perform at Yasalam After Race Concerts in Abu Dhabi 2025
The fourth artist has finally been announced…
…and it's none other than global superstar and entertainment juggernaut, Post Malone.
The Syracuse-born chartbuster last performed in the UAE capital during the Abu Dhabi Grand Prix weekend back in 2018, and his return 7 whole years later is sure to be welcomed with a sold-out, motorsport-mad crowd at Etihad Park on Yas Island – after a day of free practice sessions on-track on Friday, December 5.

The 9-time diamond-certified, Grammy-nominated entertainer will join a star-studded line-up of timeless artists, including metal behemoths Metallica, pop star Katy Perry and up-and-comer Benson Boone.
Austin Richard Post a.k.a Post Malone is one of the most successful and genre-defying performers of his generation, with chart-topping superhits such as Circles, Rockstar and Jackie Chan , and 20-time platinum single Sunflower which surpassed 80 million records sold worldwide.
Only last year, he showcased his versatility in debut country album 'F-1 Trillion', whose lead lead single I Had Some Help debuted at number one on the Billboard Hot 100 and stood tall atop the rankings for a full six weeks. More on the other performers…
Let's take a look at who else is coming to town: December 4: Benson Boone
Benson Boone first appeared for an audition on American Idol's Season 19, and so, in a way, will find himself reunited with Katy Perry (more on that in a second) – one of three judges who gave him a resounding 'YES' on the televised singing competition. Boone is the US singer-songwriter behind some massive TikTok tunes, including Beautiful Things, In The Stars, Sorry I'm Here For Someone Else, and Slow It Down.

Renée Elise Goldsberry talks new album, whether 'Hamilton' return is an option and EGOT aspirations
Renée Elise Goldsberry is most inspired by artists bold enough to take a career leap, even when there's no guarantee of a safe landing. Over the years, Goldsberry spent her celebrated career surrounded by fearless risk-takers. Now, the Tony and Grammy winner, best known for her breakout role in the Broadway musical "Hamilton,' is taking a bold move of her own. She's stepping into the spotlight as a solo artist: Her debut album, "Who I Really Am,' was released Friday. "I'm surrounded by friends that do really crazy, brave, 'I could fail miserably' things,' said Goldsberry, whose role as Angelica Schuyler in Hamilton won her a Tony in 2016 for best featured actress in a musical. In that same year, she earned a Grammy for best musical theater album. "They jump off cliffs, they start to fly, we get to see it and it's so inspiring that you put out an album,' she said. Renee Elise Goldsberry poses during the interview. Photo: Associated Press Goldsberry has made her presence felt in other Broadway projects including "Rent' and "The Color Purple.' She's had standout work on "Girls5Eva' and "The Good Wife ' and was on the daytime soap "One Life to Live.' With "Who I Really Am,' Goldsberry is carving her own musical path. The album is a 13-track project filled with soul, funk, blues and gospel vibes featuring a reimagined version of her iconic "Hamilton' song "Satisfied,' which was originally penned by Lin-Manuel Miranda. In a recent interview, Goldsberry talks to the media about finding her identity through the album, whether returning to "Hamilton' is an option and aspirations for an EGOT, a term for the rare person who's won an Emmy, Grammy, Oscar and Tony award during their career.

Pop singer Jessie J says she has been diagnosed with early breast cancer
The English pop singer Jessie J says she has been diagnosed with breast cancer and will undergo surgery after her performance at the London music festival Capital's Summertime Ball next weekend. Jessie J, 37, shared the news in an Instagram video on Wednesday. "I was diagnosed with early breast cancer,' she said in the clip. "Cancer sucks in any form, but I'm holding onto the word 'early'." "It's a very dramatic way to get a boob job. I am going to disappear for a bit after Summertime Ball to have my surgery, and I will come back with massive (expletive) and more music.' The annual Summertime Ball will be held at Wembley Stadium on Sunday, June 15. She told her social media audience that she felt compelled to share her diagnosis. "I just wanted to be open and share it,' she said. "One, because, selfishly, I do not talk about it enough. I'm not processing it because I'm working so hard. I also know how much sharing in the past has helped me with other people giving me their love and support and also their own stories. I'm an open book. It breaks my heart that so many people are going through so much similar and worse - that's the bit that kills me.' The Grammy-nominated Jessie J has long been celebrated for her robust soprano and R&B-informed pop hits, like the 2014 collaboration with Nicki Minaj and Ariana Grande, "Bang Bang,' and 2011's "Domino.' She has released five albums across her career, most recently, 2018's Christmas album, "This Christmas Day.' She has been releasing new music in 2025, including the singles "Living My Best Life' and "No Secrets.' A new album is expected later this year. She has a son, Sky Safir Cornish Colman, born in 2023. A representative for Jessie J did not immediately respond to The Associated Press' request for comment. Associated Press

Sabrina Carpenter reveals real inspiration behind 'Manchild'
Grammy winning-singer Singer Sabrina Carpenter has finally revealed the real reason behind her latest song "Manchild", amid speculation that it was inspired by a former partner. The 26-year-old "Busy Woman" singer shared a candid caption explaining how her latest single came about. According to the 'Espresso' hitmaker, she wrote "Manchild" on "a random" Tuesday with Amy Allen and Jack Antonoff, not long after she finished her sixth album, Short n' Sweet, reports "It ended up being the best random Tuesday of my life," Carpenter wrote on Instagram. Between cheeky photos from the set of her new single, which is out now, she confessed it was "so fun to write." "But this song became to me something I can look back on that will score the mental montage to the very confusing and fun young adult years of life. It sounds like the song embodiment of a loving eye roll and it feels like a never ending road trip in the summer ! Hence why I wanted to give it to you now- so you can stick your head out the car window and scream it all summer long!" She added: "and thank you men for testing me!!." Though neither Carpenter's song nor her Instagram caption makes mention of any one of her former partners in particular, the "Feather" singer was most recently linked to Barry Keoghan. The former couple first sparked romance rumors as they were spotted grabbing dinner together in Los Angeles in early December 2023 before taking a break the following December. Carpenter gained prominence starring in the series Girl Meets World. She released her debut single, "Can't Blame a Girl for Trying" in 2014, followed by the studio albums Eyes Wide Open, Evolution, Singular: Act I, and Singular: Act II. Her sixth studio album, Short n' Sweet, topped the US Billboard 200, produced the top-three US Billboard Hot 100 singles "Espresso", "Please Please Please" and "Taste", and won two Grammy Awards.
