5 Seconds Of Summer Share New Single 'Me, Myself & I,' Reveal Album Release Date

5 Seconds of Summer recently shared a new single, "Me, Myself & I." The Australian band also revealed the name of their widely-anticipated fifth LP, 5SOS5.

"Me, Myself & I" was produced and co-written by Jason Evigan, Jon Bellion, Pete Nappi, and Mick Coogan.

"'Me, Myself, and I' is a really exciting song for us to have on the record that we've spent the last two years making. We're all big fans of Jon Bellion and when he sent us the idea we instantly connected with it," lead singer Luke Hemmings said about the song.

"So much of what we had been writing lyrically was extremely introspective and this song fit like a puzzle piece with the rest of the album. We then ended up finishing it with Jon, Jason, Pete and Mick," he added.

5SOS5 will drop on September 23 via BMG. A deluxe CD and digital version of the album will have a total of 19 tracks.

Large Bob Dylan Ironwork Sculpture Unveiled In France

Nobel Prize-winning songwriter, musician and artist Bob Dylan's first monumental sculpture in France has been unveiled at Château La Coste in Provence.

The ironwork sculpture, named "Rail Car," has been installed in the Château's outdoor art estate and is now open to visitors.

The unveiling will coincide with a new exhibition of Dylan's paintings from his critically acclaimed Drawn Blankseries, entitled "Drawn Blank in Provence."

The exhibition, featuring 24 of Dylan's paintings, will run through August 15 in Château La Coste's Renzo Piano-designed art gallery.

Dylan's first painting exhibition in France presents his work in a new context, highlighting novel aspects of Dylan's artistic practice. The unseen canvases are based on drawings Dylan originally made whilst on tours of Europe and America between 1989 and 1991.

Alongside Dylan's paintings will be works by artists including Claude Monet, Henri Matisse and Marc Chagall. The exhibition reveals the influence of these pioneering artists on Dylan's The Drawn Blank Series (2008-2013).

There will also be a focus display of a large-scale triptych, created by Dylan in 2021, installed in the Richard Rogers drawing gallery, until June 5.

Queen's Brian May Opens Up About Influence Of Mott The Hoople

Brian May has opened up about the influence of Mott The Hoople in a new interview.

In the new "Another World - Part 2" video, the Queen guitarist explained why he covers Mott The Hoople's "All The Way From Memphis" on the deluxe edition of his reissue of Another World and the potentially life-changing advice he received from Mott The Hoople lead singer Ian Hunter.

"Mott the Hoople were a great influence on us," May ssays aid in the video, filmed in Tenerife. "I remember watching Mott the Hoople burst onto the stage and the whole audience would erupt because it was just engineered that way."

"I say engineered because you do you work on an audience you want to make contact. You don't just stroll on and plink away and hope something will happen. At least we don't. You know, you have that opportunity to excite, to impassion, to inspire an audience. And they did that. They would go on and go..and the whole place would erupt," he adds.

May said "Ian Hunter as a pianist, not many people can do it as keyboard players," is a big inspiration to him.

"And so I did All The Way From Memphis on this album. Love it. And I got a little quote from Ian Hunter. Miserable old sod he is, but I love him dearly. He once gave me great advice," he adds.
