Stephen Colbert isn’t going quietly off the airwaves. No, the venerated late-night talkshow host is going out with a series of bangs, including a late-night performance by Foo Fighters on Wednesday, and more recently The Strokes.
On Thursday night (May 14), the indie rockers set the tempo to cool for their Late Show premiere of “Falling Out of Love.” On set, Julian Casablancas and his bandmates enjoyed their own, personal stages, each of them lit and outlined with lasers, all of it set against a backdrop of classic stock images of the United States, its small towns, bright lights and natural delights.
With its unusual, heavily Auto-tuned vocals, “Falling Out of Love” is the second cut for the New Yorkers’ forthcoming seventh studio album Reality Awaits, due out on June 26, their first since 2020’s The New Abnormal.
The band will march on with their Reality Awaits 2026 tour, which gets underway June 12 at Bonnaroo Music & Arts Festival in Tennessee and wraps up Sept. 20 at Sea.Hear.Now Festival in New Jersey.
After North America, the global jaunt will visit the United Kingdom, Continental Europe, South America and Japan. While on the road, the band will stop by for multiple nights at Red Rocks, London’s The O2, plus Toronto’s RBC Amphitheatre, Paris’ Accor Arena, Amsterdam’s Ziggo Dome and more. Support acts will include Thundercat, Cage the Elephant, Hamilton Leithauser, Fat White Family, The Garden, Alex Cameron, Geordie Greep, Promiseland and ÖLÜM.
“Falling out of Love” follows “Going Shopping,” the first single from Reality Awaits, which was recorded in Costa Rica with producer Rick Rubin and finished in studios around the world.
Colbert is in his last stretch in charge of The Late Show, which CBS is pulling the plug on due to what the network has described as “a purely financial” decision. The Strokes are among an elite lineup of final guests, including Foo Fighters, Chris Stapleton, President Barack Obama, Tom Hanks, and a special gathering of late-night hosts: Jimmy Kimmel, Jimmy Fallon, Seth Meyers, and John Oliver.
The series finale airs May 21 on CBS at 11:35 p.m. ET/PT.

As Drake’s now-enemy LeBron James once said at his memorable opening press conference when he joined the Miami Heat in the summer of 2010: “Not one, not two, not three….”
But yes, while fans expected one album, Iceman, to arrive on Friday (May 15), Drake pulled a rabbit out of his hat and released three LPs as Habibti and Maid of Honour joined Iceman for a sprawling 43 tracks combined.
Prior to the albums’ arrival, Drake hosted episode 4 of his Iceman livestream on his YouTube channel, which played out more as a visual album for Iceman lasting about 75 minutes Thursday night (May 14).
Shot across Toronto, Drake recruited some friends to make cameos, including comedian Shane Gillis, DJ Akademiks and his son, Adonis.
The stream kicks off with Iceman‘s introspective opener “Make Them Cry,” which finds Drake wasting no time addressing the scars from 2024’s battle with Kendrick Lamar.
“What died back in 2024 was a big piece/ So it’s like this s–t is me, but it isn’t me/ Y’all keep on asking what it did to me/ That’s what it did to me,” he raps as an Iceman truck cruises down the highway.
Later on in the track, Drake also revealed that his father, Dennis Graham, is currently battling cancer. “My dad got cancer right now/ We battling stages/ Trust me when I say there’s things I’d rather be facing,” he admits.
DJ Akademiks enters the picture, hosting a radio show and making all sorts of claims backing up Drake. It’s pretty similar to what you’d hear from him on his own stream, saying Drake takes up all five slots of his top five and so on.
Aligning with the 6 God paid off for Ak, who starred in the livestream and picked up an iced-out OVO owl chain courtesy of Drake.
Moving through Iceman, Shane Gillis makes an appearance as a police officer with Adonis, Drake is shown as a mob boss with his crew in front of a government building, then walking through the snow, as bloodshed is left in his wake.
The First Lady of Toronto Chromazz joins Drizzy as part of the visual album, while Drake also shows off his fleet of exotic cherry red sports cars.
The reunion everyone hoped to see, as Drake and his What a Time to Be Alive running mate, Future, put their issues aside to reconcile. They join forces alongside emerging rapper Molly Santana — or the new Hannah Montana — for “Ran to Atlanta” (a possible nod to Kendrick’s lyrics on “Not Like Us”) and the music video appears on the stream.
“Me and Hendrix back by popular demand,” Drake raps. Military Hummers and strippers using poles surround Drizzy. The clip continues to flicker between neon-blue light and thermal effects and back to normal.
Drake throws a party for his OVO crew as “Burning Bridges” plays, which appears to find him jabbing at A$AP Rocky. “Your baby momma ain’t even post a single, damn, where she at,” he raps, before later adding. “You saw my brother, you was tryna fix it, now you drop your album and you back dissing.”
There’s plenty of smoke to go around on the menacing “Make Them Pay,” which finds Rick Ross and DJ Khaled in his crosshairs, who Drake addresses by name. He also seemingly calls out J. Cole and says “f–k a big three.”
“Dog, I was aiding Ross with streams before Adin Ross had ever streamed,” Drake fires at Rozay, who has had plenty to say about Drake on his book tour this week.
DJ Khaled and Drake also had a falling out dating back to 2024, and Drizzy lands a haymaker, putting Khaled on blast for not speaking up about Palestine.
“And Khaled, you know what I mean/ The beef was fully live, you went halal, and got on your deen/ And your people are still waitin’ for a Free Palestine/ But apparently, everything isn’t black and white and red and green,” he spews.
Previous leaks such as “National Treasures,” sans Pressa and “1 AM in Albany,” which has been renamed to “Make Them Remember,” make the cut on Iceman. 2025’s “What Did I Miss?” also stuck around, and the music video finds Drake on the back of an Iceman 18-wheeler transporting blocks of ice, while he rocks a Chrome Hearts trapper hat.
Neophyte New York rapper Stunna Sandy gets a look in the stream as part of the “Plot Twist” visual, as she rides in a dune buggy and hangs with Drizzy.
A potential bop comes next with “2 Hard 4 Radio,” which would be an ironic title if the track picks up commercial steam and ends up becoming a radio smash. The West Coast-influenced song finds Drake having fun while incorporating Mac Dre bars.
The next scenes head to the top of the CN Tower in the heart of Toronto, a strip club and inside a government building that houses the mayoral office. Drake closes up shop at an ice hockey rink and then flees to the studio. But for his final act, in a possible shot at Kendrick Lamar, Drizzy sets a streaming farm ablaze.
While all of the aforementioned visuals were pre-taped, the livestream becomes current with fireworks lighting up the Toronto sky and Drake watching on in real time. He shocks the OVO faithful with an announcement that two additional albums are on the way, dropping in an hour at midnight. With 43 tracks and three LPs, a Drizzy summer is on the horizon.

Billboard’s Friday Music Guide serves as a handy guide to New Music Friday’s most essential releases each week — the key music that everyone will be talking about today, and that will be dominating playlists this weekend and beyond.
Last week, we featured Charli xcx, MUNA and Kelela.
This week: Gracie Abrams teases her recently-announced fourth album, Daughter From Hell, with its lead single; Drake returns with his anticipated Iceman — plus two more projects titled Maid Of Honour and Habibti; and Tove Lo previews her upcoming sixth album … plus much more. Check out all of this week’s picks below:
Gracie Abrams, “Hit the Wall”
Gracie Abrams’ now longtime collaborator Aaron Dessner wasn’t playing when he spoke about the singer’s upcoming album in an Instagram caption earlier this week: “You’ll hear us expanding our musical vocabulary and pushing into uncharted waters sonically…it feels elevated in every way.” Lead single “Hit the Wall” is an airy and lyrically loaded track, with lines like, “A room full of doctors and an inkblot/ I’m drawn into headlights, have a blind spot” or, “I live in a pattern of breakdowns/ You’ll bend to my silence, it’s so loud.” The track arrives as the perfect connector for where Abrams has been and where she is heading — and proves that if this is her starting point, Daughter From Hell is surely going to hurt like hell.
Drake, Iceman
After teasing his anticipated Iceman album, Drake more than delivered — also dropping Maid of Honour and Habibti on Friday. In all, the three releases total 43 new tracks and nearly two-and-a-half hours of listening (and push his solo full-length discography into double digits). Needless to say, the artist had a lot to get off his chest since his For All the Dogs release in 2023.
Iceman focus track, “Ran To Atlanta,” features Future and Molly Santana and is one of just two tracks on the project that taps guests. Meanwhile, Maid Of Honour and Habibti are a bit more feature-packed, with artists including Sexxy Red, Central Cee, PARTYNEXTDOOR and others appearing across the tracklists. So, roll your sleeves up and get to listening.
Tove Lo, “I’m Your Girl Right?”
It’s been four years since Tove Lo released an album (her last was 2022’s Dirt Femme) and new single “I’m Your Girl Right?” reminds listeners of what we’ve been missing. The track finds a sweet spot between mid-tempo pop and full-blown dance banger — exactly what Tove Lo has always done best. The track serves as the lead single for her upcoming sixth album, ESTRUS, out Sept. 18. As the artist shared in a statement: “I know you’ve been waiting a long time and I hope it’s worth the wait. It was for me!”
Rostam, “Hardy (feat. Clairo)”
With the release of Rostam’s third solo album, American Stories, he continues to prove that patience pays off (his last album, Changephobia, arrived in 2021) and that he still has that magic touch. Standout track “Hardy” opens unexpectedly with jittery, gorgeous strings that subtly fade into piano chords — only to return again halfway through for an instrumental interlude that also features trumpet to introduce Clairo’s verse. The song then ends with the chorus that’s all about acceptance: “Some things you said to me have stuck in my mind/ And though I’ll never have the chance to say why/ Maybe the greatest art is never completed/ We only have to leave it knowing we tried.”
Jorja Smith, “What’s Done Is Done”
Jorja Smith’s sultry, silky vocals are an expected, welcomed component of all her songs — and while they do their thing on “What’s Done Is Done,” the production comes as a surprise. Loaded with heart-pounding synth and bass, there’s a creeping, electric backbone to the track that perfectly soundtracks the basement club energy Smith channels in its music video.
Madonna and Peggy Gou have just released the first official remix of Madonna’s Confessions II era, with the pop icon and the South Korean superstar DJ teaming up for a bouncy edit of the album’s lead single, “I Feel So Free.”
The edit has an ’80s throwback vibe. Think Stock Aitken Waterman and their production of Dead Or Alive’s “You Spin Me Round,” complete with addictive beats, thunderclaps and a synth bassline. Stream it below.
Confessions II is Madonna’s 15th studio album and a follow-up of her 2005 classic Confessions On a Dancefloor, which won the 2007 Grammy for best dance/electronic album. Stuart Price, the producer of this first album, is back working with Madonna for the reprise.
The original version of “I Feel So Free,” which was released on April 17, appears to be the opening track of Confessions II, as the remix comes just after the May 14 announcement of the Confessions II tracklist. This news was revealed in a guerrilla marketing campaign that saw posters posters go up in several major cities around the world. The track list from these posters appears as such:
Side 1
I Feel So Free
Good for the Soul
One Step Away
Bring Your Love
Danceteria
Read My Lips
Side 2
Everything
Love Without Words
Bizarre
School
Fragile
My Sins Are My Savior
U2’s visit to Mexico City this week continued to bring surprises on Thursday (May 14), when the legendary Irish band appeared alongside Mexico’s president Claudia Sheinbaum at an event for the General Assembly of the Street Child World Cup in the Mexican capital.
The president took the stage at the Hidalgo Theater of the Mexican Social Security Institute to greet young participants of the international competition, which is focused on social inclusion and children’s rights. She was accompanied by lead singer Bono and guitarist The Edge, reveal videos shared on social media by Mexico City’s secretary of tourism, Alejandra Frausto.
Onstage at the venue, the head of state and the two members of the band greeted the audience before stepping down to take their seats. “My president,” Bono said to Sheinbaum, followed by a hug. The gesture drew an ovation from the attendees.
Later, Sheinbaum shared a video on her own social media accounts showing more details of her encounter with the musicians. “Hello, nice to meet you,” she told the pair in English.
“Nice to meet you, such a fan of yours”, The Edge responded. And Bono added: “My goodness, universal healthcare, you have raised the minimum wage, you come to the Street Child World Cup, you meet The Edge and myself. I don’t know how you have time.”
Mexico City hosted the 2026 Street Child World Cup this week, with 30 teams from around the world gathering for this year’s tournament, held May 6-14. “It’s a little NGO with a big kick for kids with all of the talent and none of the access,” drummer Larry Mullen Jr. said in a statement on U2’s website. “Our band are proud supporters.”
The Rock Hall-inducted outfit — also featuring bass guitarist Adam Clayton — returned to Mexico after a nine-year absence to film the music video for their song “Street of Dreams,” included in their upcoming studio album expected to be released at the end of 2026. Their highly anticipated return has already resulted in a formal invitation from the head of government of Mexico City, Clara Brugada, for the group to perform at the iconic Zócalo, the country’s main public square.
Mexico holds a special place in the hearts of U2’s members. The band has delivered some of its most memorable concerts in the Latin American country, including the performance documented in the Popmart: Live From Mexico City video, recorded in 1997 during their Popmart Tour. The last time the band performed in the capital city was in October 2017, three weeks after the powerful earthquake that struck central Mexico, as part of the 30th anniversary of their iconic album The Joshua Tree.
Bundle up, Drake season has returned. Not one, not two, but three albums arrived on Friday (May 15) courtesy of the 6 God.
In addition to Iceman, Drake is dropping Habibti and Maid of Honour alongside the heavily anticipated LP. The trio of projects comes on the heels of Drake’s Iceman episode four livestream, which went down on Thursday night (May 14).
Iceman boasts 18 tracks and features 21 Savage, Molly Santana and a reunion with Drake’s What a Time to Be Alive collaborator Future. Maid of Honour contains 14 songs and collaborations with Stunna Sandy, Central Cee, Sexyy Red, Iconic Savvy and Popcaan. While Habibti has 11 new songs and lifts from Sexyy Red once again, Loe Shimmy and Partynextdoor.
Drake’s ninth, 10th and 11th studio albums serve as his first since clashing with Kendrick Lamar in 2024 and 2023’s For all the Dogs, which went No. 1 on the Billboard 200 with 402,000 equivalent album units in the U.S., according to Luminate.
Drizzy has been teasing Iceman since 2025 and he’s been on another level with the marketing and rollout for the project compared to previous releases.
Most notably, Drake put up a massive ice block structure in downtown Toronto, which ended up being taken down days later by Toronto’s fire department for being a public hazard.
Before the structure was melted, a streamer named Kishka ended up finding an Iceman folder inside the installation, which revealed the album’s May 15 release date. Drake’s team hooked him up with a $50,000 payday for the discovery. He also turned his courtside seats at multiple Toronto Raptors games into frozen icicles.
As far as his previously released singles, tracks like “Dog House” didn’t make the cut for the albums, while “What Did I Miss” landed on Iceman and “Which One” earned a spot on Maid of Honour.
If Iceman or any of the other pair of albums top the Billboard 200, that will give Drake a record 15 No. 1s, which would break a tie with Jay-Z when it comes to rappers. Drizzy has the opportunity to occupy the top three of the Billboard 200 next week, which has only been done in the past by Michael Jackson. However, he’d be the first to hold the top three slots with debuts simultaneously.

She might be outta love, but Anastacia is full of laughs.
The U.S. singer and songwriter with the huge voice makes an hilarious cameo in the new Australian comedy series Urzila, helmed by South Africa-born, New Zealand-based comedian and actress Urzila Carlson.
In the new clip, Anastacia puts a squad of backing dancers through their paces ahead of her next single release, a “dancehall banger.” The class has one objective — the pop star needs to feel the heat.
Anastacia, herself a former professional dancer, overlooks the clear favorite Davis, despite his array of sweaty, flashy moves. Instead, she’s transfixed by Urzila’s offbeat choreography. It’s not so much that Urzila isn’t busting a move, no, she’s dancing to the beat of her unorthodox drum.
Despite Davis’ protestations — he insists she’s from a “lesbian outreach program” — Anastacia loves what she’s seen. “Maybe I do agree, she wasn’t dancing very good. But I think she was dancing great,” says Anastacia, channeling Simon Cowell.
Urzila gets the nod, and she leads the chorography for that banger, ripping out a combination of finger guns, eyebrow lifts, keys searches, and “drunk aunty at a wedding” vibes.
Anastacia recently teased the sketch on her socials. “Such a joy being part of this!,” she wrote. “Thank you so much, Urzila Carlson, for having me – I had an absolute blast filming this skit with you. I’m beyond excited for you all to see it! As Urzila says: You’re gonna laugh your head off.”
Emerging in the early 2000s, Anastacia enjoyed superstar status in the U.K. and Europe with such hits as “I’m Outta Love,” “Left Outside Alone” and “Sick and Tired.” She has landed 12 songs in the top 40 of the Official U.K. Singles Chart, including three top 10s. Also, six of her albums crashed the U.K. top 10, including a No. 1 with her self-titled 2004 collection.
Urzila airs Wednesday evenings on the Australian Broadcasting Corporation and on-demand at ABC iView. Watch Anastacia’s sketch here and below.
Duran Duran has standards, and they’re not slipping anytime soon.
The British new wave legends were, for the first half of the 1980s, the most popular band on earth, with the noisiest fans, and hits. One after the next. The awards came, including two Grammys, two Ivor Novellos, the Brit Awards’ Lifetime Achievement, a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame, and in 2022, their career was saluted with induction into the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame.
One item the band hasn’t ticked off is a session at Glastonbury Festival, the grandaddy of the U.K.’s camping festival circuit. Speaking with The Times of London, frontman Simon Le Bon is keen to change all that… but with one important condition. “We want the right slot,” he tells the broadsheet. “We shouldn’t be below anybody on the bill.”
The English singer, who was named a Member of the Order of the British Empire (MBE) by King Charles in 2024, a nod to his services to music and charity, clarified his position: “so, we’ll hold out because we’re a headline act — that’s all there is to it.”
The band has been asked in the past, but it wasn’t an opportunity the artists leapt at. “Well, we want to,” he assures, “but not in a disco tent at 3pm, which is what we were offered.”
Bandmates Nick Rhodes and John Taylor contribute to The Times’ feature story, in which they recount fame, talk drugs, and discuss the wonders — and horror — of technology. “Anyone who thinks AI will go away is certifiably insane,” says Rhodes, the band’s founding keyboardist.
The next chance for Duranies to see their heroes at Glastonbury would be in 2027. The event is taking a fallow year in 2026, in order to give the site, the Eavis’ dairy farm a year off, a pause that rolls around once every five years.
Duran Duran will get some outdoor action this summer, when the band headlines BST Hyde Park on July 5. It’s the setting of their triumphant concert in 2022, which gathered an estimated 70,000 fans.
Just last month, the band dropped “Free to Love,” a neo-disco collaboration with longtime producer and friend Nile Rodgers, and their first new music since their 16th and latest album, Danse Macabre, which opened and peaked at No. 4 on the Official U.K. Chart in 2023. Duran Duran recently competed a residency in Las Vegas, ahead of run of U.K. and Continental European shows, starting June 19 at Denmark’s Heartland Festival.
Madonna, Shakira and BTS will perform during halftime of the World Cup final game, Global Citizen announced first thing Thursday (May 14).
The Sunday, July 19, match at MetLife Stadium in East Rutherford, New Jersey, will mark the first time the FIFA World Cup final has ever featured a halftime show. Billboard understands that the show will clock in at 11 minutes.
The news was announced in a social video starring Coldplay’s Chris Martin alongside Sesame Street‘s Elmo and Cookie Monster, as well as Kermit, Miss Piggie and more from The Muppets. The unlikely crew even calls up BTS on FaceTime in the video — watch below.
Shakira’s name had already been linked to this year’s World Cup – hosted in North America, with tournament games across the United States, Canada and Mexico – with the announcement of “Dai Dai,” her official 2026 World Cup song with Burna Boy. It will be Shak’s second official FIFA World Cup song following “Waka, Waka (This Time for Africa)” recorded for the 2010 World Cup in South Africa. The Colombian superstar kicks off her Las Mujeres Ya No Lloran World Tour 2026 dates in June, with July 14 and July 20 in New Jersey and New York, respectively, surrounding the World Cup final at MetLife.
Madonna is also gearing up for a busy July, with the Queen of Pop’s Confessions II album – the sequel to her 2005 classic Confessions on a Dance Floor – arriving July 3. She’s so far released lead single “Bring Your Love,” her duet with Sabrina Carpenter, which they live-debuted during weekend 2 of Coachella last month, as well as “I Feel So Free.”
BTS made a major return to music earlier this year with the March 20 release of their sixth studio album ARIRANG, the South Korean group’s first project since they went on hiatus for each member to complete their military service. The album debuted atop the Billboard 200 and stayed there for three straight weeks – their first multi-week No. 1 on the chart. Last month, they kicked off their ARIRANG WORLD TOUR in Goyang, South Korea, before bringing the trek to the U.S. on April 25. They have international dates scheduled through next March.
The 2026 FIFA World Cup final halftime show is being curated by Global Citizen along with Coldplay’s Martin, with plans to raise money for the FIFA Global Citizen Education Fund, which is working to raise $100 million to expand access to education and football for children worldwide. The fund has already raised more than $30 million, with $1 from every ticket sold to World Cup matches being donated throughout the tournament. The advocacy organization and Martin similarly teamed up for last year’s Club World Cup final halftime show, which was headlined by Doja Cat, J Balvin and Tems.
Last week, FIFA announced that Katy Perry, Future, Tyla, LISA and Anitta are slated to perform during the 2026 World Cup opening ceremonies set for the U.S., Canada and Mexico. Perry will headline the opening ceremony in Los Angeles ahead of the U.S. men’s national team’s first game against Paraguay on June 12. Future will also take the SoFi Stadium stage for a performance along with DJ Sanjoy.
While this marks the first time the World Cup final has had a halftime show, two of the July performers have previously headlined the Super Bowl halftime show; Madonna took center field at the 2012 Super Bowl, while Shakira co-headlined with Jennifer Lopez in 2020.
The highly anticipated return of the Irish band U2 to Mexico City this week to film the music video for their single “Street of Dreams” has resulted in an official invitation from the capital’s head of government, Clara Brugada, for the group to perform at the iconic Zócalo, the country’s main public square.
On Tuesday (May 13), Brugada met with the members of the famous quartet during the filming of their music video in the streets of the city’s Historic Center. There, the official handed the band a document, as shown in a video posted on her social media. The letter was received by Bono, vocalist and leader of the renowned group.
“This is an invitation for you to play in our wonderful square, which is the Zócalo,” Brugada said in Spanish, as shown in the video. “You are welcome, and we would love it very much.”
Previously, Bono had expressed to Brugada his desire to kick off their next world tour in Mexico City, a place that holds a special place in the hearts of the quartet, which also includes The Edge, Adam Clayton and Larry Mullen Jr.
“We’re working on that,” the singer said in English. “In our dreams, we could begin our tour here.”
He added: “We love the city.”
The Zócalo is considered an emblematic location of great significance — a plaza filled with symbolism where politics, social movements, culture and religion converge. It is the second-largest public square in the world, only behind Tiananmen Square in Beijing. In March, Colombian superstar Shakira set a new record for the largest audience ever gathered for a free concert at the Plaza de la Constitución (the Zócalo’s official name), drawing 400,000 attendees.
The meeting between Brugada and U2 took place at the Casino Metropolitano in the Historic Center of the capital, a spokesperson for the city government confirmed to Billboard Español. During the meeting, the official presented each member of the band with a figure of an axolotl, an amphibian species native to central Mexico, as seen in the video.
Later, Brugada shared a message on her social media accounts with photos alongside the band. “Welcoming U2 to our capital is a celebration of music, connection and the excitement that is felt in every corner of this city,” she wrote in her post. “We are a city open to the world, vibrant and full of stories that are shared from the stage to the streets.”
The band participated on Wednesday in the second day of filming for the “Street of Dreams” music video, a song that will be part of their upcoming album, set to be released later this year.
The day before, performing atop the roof of a school bus decorated with graffiti by artist Chavis Mármol, the quartet played their new song — featuring choruses in Spanish — surrounded by a large crowd in the city’s Historic Center. The occasion also marked the first appearance of drummer Larry Mullen Jr. alongside his bandmates after years offstage recovering from neck and back surgeries.

Mexico holds a special place in the hearts of U2’s members, as it’s where they’ve delivered some of their most celebrated performances, including the concert captured in the video Popmart: Live From Mexico City, recorded in 1997 during the Popmart Tour.
The last time U2 performed in Mexico City was during the 30th-anniversary tour of their iconic album The Joshua Tree in October 2017, just three weeks after the powerful earthquake that struck central Mexico.
