Dave Grohl, Lindsey Buckingham & More Featured on Halsey’s ‘If I Can’t Have Love, I Want Power’ Album

Halsey already had bragging rights when she announced that Nine Inch Nails’ Trent Reznor and Atticus Ross were producing her fourth album, If I Can’t Have Love, I Want Power. But the newly revealed guest artists are boosting their cred in the pop-rock space even more.

Dave Grohl, Fleetwood Mac’s Lindsey Buckingham, The Bug’s Kevin Martin, Dave Sitek of TV on the Radio, Pino Palladino, Karriem Riggins and Meat Beat Manifesto will all be featured on the project, NIN announced Wednesday (Aug. 25) on Twitter. If I Can’t Have Love, I Want Power will be released Friday via Capitol Records.

“.@halsey’s new album, If I Can’t Have Love I Want Power, produced by Trent Reznor & Atticus Ross, is out this Friday. Excited for everyone to hear it!” read the Twitter statement before the musicians were listed.

The Oscar- and Grammy-winning producers are spearheading the production of the 13-song project, whose official track list Halsey unveiled earlier this month (sans credits to the additional musicians). According to Spin’s review of the album, Grohl provides drums for “Honey,” while Sitel plays guitar on “You Asked for This” and Buckingham lends his acoustic talents on “Darling.” Palladino and Riggins, who were respectively the bassist and drummer of D’Angelo’s band, join forces once more for “Lilith.”

The album’s hourlong accompanying film experience, which Halsey wrote and Colin Tilley directed, premiered Wednesday in IMAX theaters and will have its global theatrical release Saturday, one day after the album is out.

At Ruido Fest 2021, 5 Out of 30,000 Fans Received a COVID-19 Vaccine

The sixth annual Ruido Fest hosted 30,000 ticketed fans over the weekend (Aug. 20-22) in Chicago, and five of those fans received a vaccine against COVID-19, Billboard can confirm.

To help slow the transmission of the coronavirus, local wellness center Envision was on site to provide vaccinations. The inoculation site offered either Pfizer or Moderna shots on Friday from 2 to 6 p.m.; those who received their first vaccine at the fest were to schedule their second doses elsewhere.

Additionally, healthcare startup Curative completed 782 total COVID-19 tests at their testing site, according to the company. The festival promoted the vaccine and testing opportunities on social media days before the event kicked off and after announcing earlier this month that in order to attend Ruido Fest, “a full COVID-19 vaccination or a negative COVID-19 test will be required,” the website read.

Fully vaccinated festivalgoers had to show a physical, photo or digital copy of their vaccine card/record. For unvaccinated fans, a test taken within 72 hours of the start of the event was accepted. The PCR tests offered by Curative produced results in 15 minutes. And, although encouraged to wear masks, most festivalgoers went mask-less once they entered the outdoor festival.

Chicago’s indoor mask mandate for all individuals 2 years and older officially returned Aug. 20 coinciding with Ruido Fest day 1, as COVID-19 cases are on the rise again, with the average daily number of new cases up to 450 per day.

The three-day outdoor event, which returned this year after taking 2020 off due to the pandemic, was held at Chicago’s Union Park with bands Caifanes, Panteón Rococó and Café Tacvba as headliners.

Post Malone Wine: Here’s Where You Can Find Maison No. 9 Online

If you purchase an independently reviewed product or service through a link on our website, we may receive an affiliate commission.

More than a year after he first released his new rosé wine, Post Malone’s “Maison No. 9” continues to be a hot-seller on liquor store shelves across the country. Now, fans of the singer — and fans of rosé — will be able to pick up a bottle of Post Malone’s wine online, saving the headache of heading to the store, only to find the popular wine sold out and out of stock.

Maison No. 9, which was named after Malone’s favorite tarot card (the nine of swords), is a Grenache, Cinsault, Syrah and Merlot blend, with notes of pineapple, pear and strawberry. Despite the fruit-forward notes, the wine has been noted for its surprisingly light taste and dry finish. The 2019 Méditerranée IGP was first released in June 2020 and has been a hot commodity ever since, with fans clamoring for a bottle.

While many fans are drinking the Post Malone rosé, others are purchasing bottles of Maison No. 9 to collect, thanks to the bottle’s sleek, extra-flint glass construction and unique, elongated neck. The bottle is adorned with “battlements” inspired by a medieval castle near the vineyard where the grapes for the wine were grown.

If you want to buy Post Malone’s wine online, there are a few places that have Maison No. 9 in stock. Add a bottle (or two) to your cart and the wine will be delivered directly to your door in as little as 30 minutes (if you live in a major city), or in a couple of days with shipping.

Here is where to find Post Malone’s rosé wine online, along with the latest prices (as of this writing):

Drizly

Drizly sells a 750ml bottle of Maison No. 9 right now starting at $22.99/bottle. Start by entering your zip code and address; depending on where you live, Drizly can deliver wine and spirits to you door in less than an hour. Shop Maison No. 9 on Drizly here.

Vivino

Vivino is where we’ve seen the latest version of Post Malone’s rosé wine online. While the wine is the same beautiful blush pink color and taste, the bottle features a longer sword, with the “Maison No. 9″ title in a new font and smaller size. Vivino sells Maison No. 9 for $22/bottle, though you can take 20% off if it’s your first order on Vivino.com. Shop Maison No. 9 on Vivino here.

Total Wine

Total Wine will ship Maison No. 9 to most states across the U.S., and the site currently sells a bottle for $21.99/bottle. What we like: You can mix and match six bottles or more to bring the price down to just $19.69/bottle. Need it sooner? You can also order the rosé online and arrange for in-person pickup.

“Rosé is for when you want to get a little fancy,” Malone says in a press release. “It’s a nice switch up and I have been thinking about doing my own wine for a while. Maison No. 9 goes down smooth, and you’re all going to love it!”

Maison No. 9 is a French rosé created and developed by Post Malone in partnership with his long-time friend and entrepreneur James Morrissey, and Dre London, a longtime music manager and Founder of London Entertainment (the three men are pictured in the image at top).

Kanye West Asks Court to Legally Change His Name to Ye

Kanye just wants to be Ye.

Kanye West filed court documents Tuesday (Aug. 24) to legally change his name.

The Los Angeles Superior Court filing says the 44-year-old wants to get rid of his full name — Kanye Omari West — in favor of just his longtime two-letter nickname, Ye, with no middle name or last name.

The documents, dated Aug. 11 but not sent into the court system until Tuesday, cite “personal reasons” for the change. An email seeking comment from the attorney who filed the documents was not immediately returned.

A judge must approve of the change before it becomes official.

West, who has called himself Ye on his social media pages for years, tweeted that he wanted the change in 2018, saying, “the being formally known as Kanye West. I am YE.”

The moniker was also the title of his 2018 album. He has said in interviews that, along with being a shortening of his first name he likes, that it’s a word used throughout the Bible.

West is in the middle of a divorce with Kim Kardashian West, who did not ask that her last name be changed back to just Kardashian when she filed to split from him in February. The couple’s four children also have his last name.

He has been holding a series of stadium listening parties for his forthcoming 10th studio album Donda, which is scheduled to be released before the end of August.
