New Marianne Faithfull tracks to be released
Faithfull, one of the most colourful personalities of London's Swinging '60s, endured homelessness, drug addiction and cancer before she passed away aged 78 in January.
As the former girlfriend of the Rolling Stones' Mick Jagger, Faithfull gained notoriety for her escapades in the era of sex, drugs and rock and roll, but she also released 21 solo albums, won a Grammy nomination and had a film acting career.
Faithfull had worked on the new recordings over the past year. They were inspired by her first two albums from 1965 and due to be revealed last month but plans were put on hold following her death, Decca Records said.
"Marianne lived to create and perform music – it was her driving force and she never stopped," her son Nicholas Dunbar said in a statement. "Right up until the end she was looking forward to this release which now completes and celebrates her remarkable artistic career."
Burning Moonlight, one of the new songs, which also gives its title to the EP, was inspired by the opening line of As Tears Go By. It was released on Friday, while the full digital EP will be released on June 6.
"It's a good time to look back," Faithfull had said after completing the project, according to Decca Records.
"It helps me to remember all the things I've done. I can't say I'm a particularly nostalgic person, but I am enjoying this period of reflection." Reuters

Biebergate2025: Justin Bieber impersonator performs at Las Vegas club after nightclub mix-up
Justin Bieber was announced on stage at a Las Vegas nightclub last weekend, but the performer was not the Grammy award-winning artist. Instead, the singer who joined DJ Gryffin at XS Nightclub inside Wynn Las Vegas on August 16 was a Bieber impersonator. The DJ posted a video on Instagram explaining how he had been told that Bieber was at the venue and wanted to perform. 'His 'team' said he wanted to perform 'Sorry,'' a caption in the video read. Gryffin added that the look-alike not only resembled Bieber but also 'sounded like Justin Bieber.' The DJ later captioned the clip 'biebergate2025.' Wynn Las Vegas confirmed the mix-up in a statement. 'After an elaborate and multi-step ruse by him and his advance team, a Justin Bieber impersonator was granted access to the XS stage. As soon as the error was recognized, he was removed from the resort and denied future entry.' Footage showed the impersonator, with short hair, sunglasses and tattoos, singing the hit single 'Sorry' while Gryffin told the crowd, 'Bieber in the house, y'all.' After the performance, Gryffin was told the person on stage was not Bieber. 'No way,' he said, before being assured, 'Swear on my life.' The impersonator was later identified as French performer Dylan Desclos. His manager Julien Colas said in a statement that Desclos never claimed to be the real Bieber. Desclos allegedly ran up a $10,000 tab at the bar before being removed and permanently banned.

Post Malone makes Skims debut in camo underwear campaign
Post Malone is the latest face of Skims, debuting in the brand's new men's campaign that highlights Realtree camouflage underwear, tees, and fleece loungewear. Shot in Utah's rugged outdoors, the 30-year-old musician posed in camo-print Skims while reflecting on his career, fatherhood, and life away from the stage. POST MALONE X SKIMS MEN — Kim Kardashian (@KimKardashian) August 19, 2025 In an interview with GQ, Malone joked that the shoot made him feel 'like a handsome son of a b*tch.' He admitted it was his first time modeling underwear and described the experience as both 'terrifying' and fun. The Grammy-nominated artist said his love for Skims began with a bathrobe he often wore during Utah's cold winters, eventually leading to his collaboration with Kim Kardashian's brand. The campaign captures Malone in a rustic, outdoorsman aesthetic—fly-fishing, holding an ax, and surrounded by the Utah wilderness. 'It's badass, it's nature, it's beautiful,' he said during the shoot. Beyond modeling, Malone discussed fatherhood, calling it 'the most beautiful thing I've ever experienced.' The rapper, who welcomed his daughter in 2022, shared that spending time with her has become his greatest joy. 'Kids are little sh*ts and they're beautiful at the same time. I don't know what the hell I'm doing, but we're figuring it out together,' he said. Currently on a break from his Big Ass Stadium Tour, which features Jelly Roll as an opener, Malone spends his downtime watching Modern Family, rewatching WWE's Monday Night Raw, and writing new music. The full Skims Men's collection, including Malone's camo favorites, will be released on August 21 through the brand's website.

Rosalía opens up on love life after Hunter Schafer romance
Rosalía has spoken candidly about her views on love, making it clear she is not interested in putting herself into labels. The Spanish singer addressed questions about her romantic life following confirmation last year from Euphoria actress Hunter Schafer that the two had shared a romance in 2019. In an interview with Elle published August 14, Rosalía explained her perspective, emphasising personal freedom above all. 'No, I do not pressure myself,' she said. 'I think of freedom. That's what guides me.' Her comments echo the statement Schafer gave to GQ in April 2024, where the actress revealed the pair had been 'once romantically involved' in a five-month relationship. Schafer noted at the time that there had been endless speculation but that she ultimately wanted to put the rumours to rest, saying, 'It's something I'm happy to share. And I think she feels that way too.' Rosalía's love life has often made headlines. After her time with Schafer, she went on to date musician Rauw Alejandro. The pair announced their engagement in 2022 but ended it in 2023 after three years together. Despite the breakup, Rosalía has continued to dominate the global music scene, with her critically acclaimed album Motomami and sold-out tours solidifying her as one of the most influential artists of her generation. Now, her connection with Schafer has resurfaced not only because of their shared history but also because Rosalía is set to make her acting debut in the upcoming season of Euphoria. The HBO hit returns with its star-studded cast, including Zendaya and Jacob Elordi, and Rosalía's addition has already sparked anticipation. Series creator Sam Levinson praised her instincts on set, saying he enjoys letting her experiment with both English and Spanish dialogue. For Rosalía, her refusal to define her romantic life is not a rejection of labels for others but a reflection of her own artistic and personal philosophy. By focusing on freedom and authenticity, she continues to connect with fans in both her music and her new acting role, ensuring her voice resonates well beyond the stage.
