Wolf Alice Returns With Bold New Single ‘Bloom Baby Bloom,' Announces Fourth Album
If anyone has cause to celebrate this week, it's Wolf Alice fans. After waiting four years for a new album from the British rock band, the group announced that its fourth LP, The Clearing, is arriving this summer on Aug. 29. The news lands alongside lead single 'Bloom Baby Bloom,' which vocalist and guitarist Ellie Rowsell has described in a statement as a rejection of 'the 'girl singer in band' trope' that she has been made subject to in the past. 'I wanted a rock song, to focus on the performance element of a rock song and sing like Axl Rose, but to be singing a song about being a woman,' she shared in a press release. 'I've used the guitar as a shield in the past … but I wanted to focus on my voice as a rock instrument so it's been freeing to put the guitar down and reach a point where I don't feel like I need to prove that I'm a musician.'

It sees Rowsell perform alongside a troupe of dancers, with choreography from Ryan Heffington, the visionary behind Sia's iconic 'Chandelier' video. The Clearing will be released via Wolf Alice's new label home of Sony Music, whom the band signed with last year after completing a three-album contract with Dirty Hit (The 1975, Beabadoobee). The forthcoming record was written in Seven Sisters, north London, and recorded in Los Angeles with the Grammy-winning producer Greg Kurstin in late 2024. A tracklist for the album is yet to be announced, but the band has shared its artwork, which features Rowsell singing into a vintage microphone while wearing an olive-green leotard and knee-high leather boots. Comprised of Rowsell, guitarist Joff Oddie, bassist Theo Ellis and drummer Joel Amey, the four-piece will prepare for the arrival of the new LP with a series of U.K. and Irish shows in the coming weeks. The band is scheduled to perform intimate theater gigs in Kilkenny, Cork and Limerick May 19-21, ahead of appearances at Radio 1's Big Weekend in Liverpool (May 24) and Glastonbury on June 28. Blue Weekend, the band's last full-length effort, arrived in 2021 and topped the Official U.K. Albums Chart before leading the group to its first-ever BRIT award the following year. It was also nominated for the Mercury Prize, which Wolf Alice won for 2017's Visions of a Life.

Sia reveals she has a third child as she files for divorce from Daniel Bernard
The notoriously private singer Sia revealed that she has a third child as she filed for divorce Wednesday from her second husband Daniel Bernard. Though her wedding celebration was reported in May 2023, the Aussie performer married her beau officially on Dec. 28, 2022, according to documents filed in Los Angeles County Superior Court. Their date of separation was Tuesday, putting their time together at two years and two months. Somersault Wonder Bernard, born March 27, 2024, is mentioned as a minor child involved with the dissolution of marriage. The baby's sex is unclear. Sia also adopted two 18-year-old boys in 2019, as they were aging out of the foster care system, but they are not mentioned in the divorce filing. The reason given for the split is the usual: irreconcilable differences. Here's hoping this breakup is not as traumatic for the singer as her first divorce was. The 49-year-old split with documentary filmmaker Erik Anders Lang in 2016, and it threw her for a loop, she told Zane Lowe in September 2023. 'That one was such a dark time that I was in bed for three years, really really severely depressed, and so I couldn't really do anything for that period of time,' the 'Unstoppable' singer said. It wasn't until after the depression lifted that she worked on her 10th studio album, 'Reasonable Woman,' which came out in May 2024. Even as she developed material for the album during the pandemic lockdowns, Sia said she 'was like mainly just like laying there, not engaging any muscles, watching television, sort of like just zoning out' in bed as movies and shows were projected on the ceiling. Then, the 'Chandelier' singer said, she would go to where producer Jesse Shatkin was staying on her Palm Springs property, and songs including the album's first single, 'Gimme Love,' just 'blurpled out.'

Sia files for divorce from husband Dan Bernard after 2 years of marriage, reveals they secretly had a baby with wild name
Sia has filed for divorce from her husband of two years, Dan Bernard. The petition, obtained Wednesday by Page Six, also revealed the estranged couple welcomed a baby named Somersault Wonder. The Australian pop star — who legally wed Bernard in December 2022 — cited irreconcilable differences as the reason for the split and listed the date of separation as March 18, 2025. They were last seen out together on Feb. 27, 2025. Meanwhile, Somersault was born on March 27, 2024, meaning the child will celebrate their 1st birthday next week. Sia, 49, is seeking full legal and physical custody of Somersault but wants Bernard to have visitation rights. The singer-songwriter is also asking the court to terminate Bernard's ability to receive spousal support. It's unclear whether the pair have a prenuptial agreement in place, and her reps did not immediately respond to our request for comment. TMZ was first to report the news. Sia and Bernard threw a lavish wedding celebration in May 2023 at Villa Olivetta, the home of fashion designers Stefano Dolce and Domenico Gabbana, in Portofino, Italy. (Kourtney Kardashian and Travis Barker famously celebrated their own lavish wedding at same villa the previous May.) One of Sia's first public outings with Bernard was in December 2021; the duo attended the Los Angeles premiere of 'West Side Story' in sunglasses and masks to cover their faces. The 'Chandelier' hitmaker was spotted with her then-mystery man on a few different occasions over the next two years, including at an October 2022 LA Football Club event. Sia was previously married to documentary filmmaker Erik Anders Lang from 2014 to 2016. 'Now that I've decided to be single for the rest of my life and I just adopted a son, I don't have time for a relationship,' she told GQ in January 2020, at which point she was only interested in 'some no-strings sex.' The 'Cheap Thrills' chart-topper elaborated that May that she'd adopted two 18-year-old boys in 2019 because they were 'aging out of the foster care system.' She announced two months later that she was a grandma because her youngest had 'just had two babies.' That August, however, Sia swore off discussing her kids publicly because her 'job is to protect them and not blab about what's going on in their lives.'

Sia files for divorce from husband Daniel Bernard nearly 2 years after marriage
LOS ANGELES (AP) — Sia filed for divorce Wednesday from second husband Daniel Bernard after two years of marriage. The Grammy-nominated Australian singer-songwriter whose legal name is Sia Furler filed the petition in Los Angeles Superior Court. It listed Tuesday as their separation date. As happens in the vast majority of California divorces, she cited irreconcilable differences as the reason. She asked the court to award no spousal support payments to Bernard. She's also seeking legal and physical custody of their 11-month-old child, Somersault Wonder Bernard. It's not clear when the secretive singer began dating Bernard, or how they met. They were legally married in December of 2022 and had a small marriage ceremony in Portofino, Italy, the following May. From 2014 to 2017, Sia was married to filmmaker Erik Anders Lang. The 49-year-old singer has been nominated for nine Grammys. Five of them were for her 2014 hit 'Chandelier.'
