Rick Derringer dies at 77 after decades of shaping rock, pop, and wrestling music
Rick Derringer, celebrated American singer and guitarist known for his wide-ranging contributions to rock and pop music, has died at age 77. The news was shared by close friend Tony Wilson in a Facebook post, though no cause of death was provided. Born Richard Zehringer in Ohio, Derringer began his music career in Union City, Indiana, with garage rock band the McCoys. At just 17, he fronted the group's breakout hit 'Hang on Sloopy,' which reached No. 1 in 1965. The track later became Ohio's official rock song, cementing its cultural significance. The McCoys followed up with hits like 'Fever' and 'Come On, Let's Go,' releasing five albums before joining forces with blues-rocker Johnny Winter in the group Johnny Winter And. Derringer's solo debut came in 1973 with All American Boy, featuring the enduring hard rock anthem 'Rock and Roll, Hoochie Koo.' The song later gained renewed fame through appearances in Dazed and Confused and Stranger Things. That same year, he played guitar and produced the Edgar Winter Group's No. 1 instrumental 'Frankenstein' and contributed to their hit 'Free Ride.' Though he released 14 solo albums, Derringer was perhaps best known as a sideman and producer. He worked with legends like Alice Cooper, Todd Rundgren, Steely Dan, Meat Loaf, Barbra Streisand, and Cyndi Lauper. His guitar work also featured on 'Weird Al' Yankovic's Grammy-winning 'Eat It' and WWF's 'Real American,' Hulk Hogan's theme song. Later in life, Derringer toured with Ringo Starr's All-Starr Band and recorded with his wife Jenda and their children. His final album, Rock the Yacht, was released in 2023. A prolific and versatile artist, Derringer's legacy spans generations and genres.

Lana Del Rey Charts Back-To-Back Top 10 Hit Singles With 'Bluebird'
Lana Del Rey lands another top 10 with 'Bluebird,' which debuts at No. 9 on the Alternative Digital ... More Song Sales chart as fans await her next full-length. PARIS, FRANCE - AUGUST 21: Lana Del Rey performs during the Rock en Seine Festival on August 21, 2024 in Paris, France. (Photo by) Lana Del Rey is on a winning streak once again. The singer-songwriter has a new album coming soon, though no one knows exactly when it will arrive. While she continues to tease the set, both recently-released singles released from the forthcoming project have become hits in the United States. Del Rey even manages to score back-to-back top 10 wins on one tally. Fans are ravenous for anything new from the superstar, and they seem excited about the slightly new sonic direction she's exploring – and they've shown that they're willing to purchase anything shared from the upcoming bestselling project. "Bluebird" is the latest single taken from Del Rey's as-yet-untitled upcoming full-length. The latest track debuts on four Billboard rankings this week. It succeeds largely thanks to sales, where it performs best. Del Rey's "Bluebird" flies into the top 10 on just one of the four tallies on which it arrives. It starts at No. 9 on the Alternative Digital Song Sales chart, which ranks only the top-selling tunes in that one style on platforms like iTunes and Amazon. The singer-songwriter collects her twenty-third top 10 smash on the Alternative Digital Song Sales ranking this frame. That total is a little more than half of the 41 tracks she has sent to the tally throughout her career. Last week, Del Rey debuted "Henry, Come On" on the same list, though in a higher position. That single opened at No. 4 on the Alternative Digital Song Sales chart. It also launched in nearly the same slot on the Rock Digital Song Sales tally, starting its time at No. 5. "Bluebird" also manages to flap its wings and appear on three other Billboard charts following its first full frame of availability in America. It nearly joins "Henry, Come On" in giving Del Rey back-to-back top 10s on the Rock Digital Song Sales chart — which she achieves on the alternative version of the list — but it misses the highest tier by two spots, kicking off its run at No. 12. The cut is also a winner on two consumption-based rankings. It opens at No. 21 on the Hot Alternative Songs list and at No. 25 on the Hot Rock & Alternative Songs chart. "Henry, Come On" no longer appears on a number of the lists it debuted on last frame, but it does manage to spend a second week on a pair of tallies. It drops more than 10 spots on both the Hot Rock Songs (No. 23) and Hot Rock & Alternative Songs (No. 32) rankings. Del Rey manages to double up on the latter list, with both singles from her forthcoming full-length taking up space at the same time — and this may be the only instance of that happening.

Lana Del Rey Scores Back-To-Back Hit Singles
Lana Del Rey is heavily promoting her upcoming new album, though some details remain under wraps. For example, fans still don't know when the project will arrive. The release has also gone through several name changes in the months since the singer-songwriter first began discussing it, and at the moment, no one is quite sure what the final title will be. But despite a lack of concrete information, Del Rey's fans are already enjoying a deluge of new music connected to this era. She has released two singles from the effort and earned back-to-back wins in the United Kingdom, with one tune arriving this frame and pushing its predecessor down on multiple rankings. 'Bluebird' is the latest single taken from Del Rey's upcoming, as-yet-untitled album. This frame, the song opens on a trio of charts in the U.K., thanks largely to her devoted following showing up to purchase it. 'Bluebird' debuts highest on the Official Singles Downloads chart, starting at No. 49. It doesn't open much lower on the Official Singles Sales tally, where it enters at No. 53. Del Rey's latest track also manages to find its way onto the Official Singles chart, coming in at No. 80. That tally accounts for both sales and streaming activity. However, as 'Bluebird' does not appear on the list of the most-streamed tunes in the country, it seems that purchases on platforms like iTunes and Amazon are largely responsible for its debut position. Last week, Del Rey scored another new hit. 'Henry, Come On' opened in an even loftier position than 'Bluebird' has this frame. Now in its second turn on multiple tallies, the cut is still present on all three of the charts where 'Bluebird' opens, though it has slipped behind its successor. Just days ago, 'Henry, Come On' launched at No. 30 on the Official Singles chart. Now, it has dropped more than 50 spaces to No. 84, which stands as its highest placement in the U.K. at the moment. It also descends noticeably to No. 89 on the downloads-only tally and barely holds on to a spot on the Official Singles Sales roster, where it plummets more than 30 slots to No. 96. A totally unrelated cut from Del Rey is also proving to be a bestseller in the U.K., helping her score multiple wins from different eras of her huge career. 'Candy Necklace,' which is featured on her album Did You Know That There's a Tunnel Under Ocean Blvd, returns to a pair of lists this frame. The cut, a collaboration with Jon Batiste — though he's not credited on the U.K. rankings — frequently drops off and reappears on both the Official Vinyl Singles and Official Physical Singles charts. This time around, it becomes a top 40 win on both tallies, landing at Nos. 34 and 38, respectively, after not finding space just a few days ago.

Lana Del Rey Transforms Stagecoach Into a Romantic, Bayou Fairytale
When you're Lana Del Rey, you can do whatever the fuck you want. You can postpone your country album, rename it, and then admit it's not really a country album. You can play a main stage-worthy performance at Stagecoach, bring out little-known country singers for duets of their songs and your own, and you can reveal mid-performance that you kissed the most famous, uber-controversial country artist of the time. At Stagecoach Friday night, the ethereal vocalist didn't just play a 'special' country music set, as Stagecoach advertised. Instead, she played a quintessential Lana Del Rey set with gorgeous new songs, bold confessions, a few country classics, and a hologram. Because she can. More from Rolling Stone See Lana Del Rey Join Jelly Roll at Stagecoach to Perform 'Save Me' Lana Del Rey Confesses at Stagecoach: 'I Kissed Morgan Wallen' Stagecoach Livestream 2025: How to Watch the Country Music Festival From Home Amid chants of 'We want Lana,' Del Rey emerged out of a small, bluish cottage (reminiscent of Miss Honey's abode in Matilda) and transformed the desert stage into a fairytale bayou. Dressed in a Sixties milkmaid dress, the singer sent the crowd into a roar as she opened her performance with a touching song, 'Husband of Mine,' dedicated to Jeremy Dufrene, whom she married last year. The song is a gorgeous love ballad praying that the world 'give grace' to their unconventional love story. 'I apologize in advance for what they'll say about the lines on your face/They're a road map of your lovely life,' she sang, later adding in the chorus: 'What's yours is mine/What's mine is between you, me, and Jesus.' Onstage, she looked like a Disney princess proclaiming her romance for her airboat captain lover. Del Rey continued with 'Henry, Come On,' the 'come on and giddy up' single she dropped earlier this month to lead The Right Person Will Stay, her forthcoming tenth album. The stans in the crowd sang along as Del Rey took a seat in the middle of the stage to play the track with touches of country music. 'Oh my goodness,' said Del Rey onstage. 'It never ceases to surprise me the volume in the crowd. I swear to god. Thank you for being here. Thank you for being with us.' Del Rey continued with her now-iconic cover of 'Stand By Your Man,' which she played on several stops of her last tour, as her onstage background dancers waltzed to the Tammy Wynette classic. Things got real country as Del Rey welcomed George Birge to perform his country chart-topping track 'Cowboy Songs' with her. After playing the classic country song backed by her band, Del Rey asked Birge to have the two of them play the song's chorus acoustically to highlight their voices. 'Yo, my heart is beating out of my chest,' Birge told the crowd before the pair sang along one more time. 'I'm just torturing people up here!' Del Rey joked. (Throughout the set, she asked the crowd if it could hear her since she seemed to have issues hearing her own voice in her in-ears. You could blame the roaring crowd for that!) Del Rey then took fans on a journey through her classic discography, sitting on her signature swing to perform shortened versions of some of her biggest hits, like 'Ride' and 'Video Games.' She then transitioned into 'Norman Fucking Rockwell,' blending verses together and skipping the line, 'He fucked me so good that I almost said 'I love you,'' which the crowd sang in her place. It may have been a subtle signal that she's moved on to something deeper and more fulfilling in love. Del Rey then welcomed Alabama-born duo the Secret Sisters to provide country twangy backing vocals for 'Let the Light In,' a track from Did You Know That There's a Tunnel Under Ocean Blvd that she'd never played live before. It felt like fairytale storytelling from Del Rey. Del Rey next debuted a fiery, Americana-leaning track titled 'Quiet in the South,' singing from a dining table inside a cottage set, directing her words to a love who failed to treat her right. 'Are you coming home tonight?' she asks. 'Should I turn off the light or burn down your house?' Her dancer embodied the lyrics, pouring gas cans around the bayou cottage and setting it ablaze, courtesy of a projector's haunting glow on the stage. After the house 'burned down,' a holographic Del Rey appeared onstage in a stunning red dress, gently playing with a blue bird during an interlude for 'Bluebird.' The hologram served as a seamless segue into 'Summertime Sadness,' which begins with the lyric, 'I've got my red dress on tonight.' As the real Del Rey stepped out in a crimson gown with her hair in perfect curls, phones shot into the air for the performance's climax. It was a powerful reminder to the cowboy hat–clad crowd of the star power and presence of the chanteuse before them. And why not end the show with a bit of drama? While debuting '57.5,' written about her monthly listeners on Spotify (it's gone up since she wrote the song it seems… also what a campy topic to sing about!), where she sneaked in a mention of a rendezvous experience with country music's hero-villain. 'I kissed Morgan Wallen/I guess kissing me kind of went to his head,' Del Rey sang after sharing it would be the 'last time' she says that lyric out loud. 'If you want my secret to success/I suggest don't go ATVing with him when you're out west.' For her big finale, Del Rey welcomed her guests onstage for a sing-along rendition of John Denver's 'Take Me Home, Country Roads,' accompanied by a pedal steel and her full band. Even Zach Bryan, who headlined Stagecoach Friday, knew that Del Rey's set was magical. 'Never in my life did I think I'd be on stage at the same time as Lana Del Rey,' he said as fans piled into the T-Mobile Mane Stage area to see him after Del Rey. 'She's the absolute best.' Friday's performance was Del Rey at her finest, delivering everything fans could hope for from the cult-favorite queen: new songs, beloved classics, romance, and just the right touch of drama. It's clear she's in the best moment of her life—and her career—and things are only getting better from here. Friday's performance precedes the release of her 10th studio album, The Right Person Will Stay, which is expected later this year. The singer had originally announced an album named Lasso last year but ended up scrapping the LP. Last summer, she teamed up with Quavo for country-rap 'Tough.' (She skipped the song on Friday.) Just weeks before her Stagecoach set, the singer released a pair of singles 'Henry, Come On,' and 'Bluebird,' which she said was inspired by a real-life experience. The songs stuck to Del Rey's airy sound, but with slight country influences. 'All my albums are somewhat rooted in Americana… so I don't think it will be a heavy departure,' she told Vogue last year. 'If anything, it will just be a little lighter lyrically, and more pointed in a classic country, American, or Southern Gothic production — which again, so many of my songs already are.'

Lana Del Rey's Latest Hit Debuts On A Huge Number Of Billboard Charts
Lana Del Rey's 'Henry, Come On' debuts on 10 Billboard charts, reaching the top 10 on two ... More genre-specific lists while previewing her forthcoming country-inspired album. PARIS, FRANCE - AUGUST 21: Lana Del Rey performs during the Rock en Seine Festival on August 21, 2024 in Paris, France. (Photo by) Lana Del Rey returns to the Billboard charts this week with her new single 'Henry, Come On' — and she makes quite the entrance. The track doesn't just appear on one or two tallies…it debuts on 10 different rankings at once. That's a solid showing for a song that hasn't yet become a runaway smash, but thanks to its cross-genre appeal, it manages to score an impressive number of placements across a wide range of lists. 'Henry, Come On' performs so well right out of the gate for two primary reasons. First, the single sold well enough to earn a spot on rankings that focus specifically on digital purchases, and it was streamed in solid numbers too, which brought it to tallies dedicated to those forms of consumption. Billboard classifies 'Henry, Come On' as both rock and alternative. That genre flexibility means the track can appear on tallies focused on each of those musical styles individually, as well as on combined rock and alternative rankings. It even reached some non-genre-specific lists. While 'Henry, Come On' reaches double-digit Billboard rankings in its debut frame, it manages to crack the top 10 on just two of them. The track starts at No. 4 on the Alternative Digital Song Sales chart and at No. 5 on the Rock Digital Song Sales list. Somewhat surprisingly, though, the tune doesn't sell quite enough to land on the all-genre Digital Song Sales tally this week. According to Luminate, 'Henry, Come On' sold 1,300 copies in the U.S. during its first full tracking frame. That figure is enough to make Del Rey's latest a top seller in her primary genres, but not quite enough to compete with the biggest releases across all styles at the moment. 'Henry, Come On' barely sneaks onto the Hot 100. The cut debuts at No. 90 this week, showing that while it's a bestseller in its genres and a fairly strong streamer, it hasn't yet crossed over and become a broader, mainstream hit, at least not yet. 'Henry, Come On' serves as the lead single from Del Rey's forthcoming album, which has gone through some notable changes recently. The full-length was originally titled Lasso, then briefly retitled The Right Person Will Stay. Now, it seems that the country hybrid set — one that will reportedly blend elements of Del Rey's signature sound with country influences — has changed names once again and currently doesn't have an official release date. Just one week after 'Henry, Come On' arrived, Del Rey dropped 'Bluebird,' the second single from the still-untitled project. That track is expected to hit the Billboard charts in the coming days.
