Lianne La Havas is back: After five years of relative quiet, the British singer-songwriter has returned with new single “Disarray.” 

The emotive song, which La Havas has described in a press release as a “window into a moment of my life,” was recorded live to tape, capturing a tender, passionate vocal performance. “The song felt very intimate, almost like a secret just for me,” she added.

“My memory of this/ Will forever exist/ I have one wish/ That you would be the man you were,” the 36-year-old sings atop finger-plucked electric guitar, poignantly describing the protracted breakdown of a relationship. Listen to the track in full below.

“Disarray” marks the first slice of new material from La Havas since her self-titled LP, which was released in 2020. Written with Matthew Hales, the concept record depicted the stages of dating from early romance to its end, and scooped the best album prize at the Ivor Novello Awards the following year.

Lianne La Havas charted at No. 7 on the Official U.K. Albums Chart upon release and also earned its author a BRIT nomination for best female solo artist. It marked the Londoner’s third top 10 album in the U.K., following 2015’s Blood (No. 2) and the Mercury Prize-nominated Is Your Love Big Enough? (No. 4), released three years prior.

Posting to social media, La Havas has indicated that “Disarray” is the start of a new chapter in her career, though details of an album are yet to be revealed. 

​​”For the last couple of years, my life could have been described as utter disarray,” she wrote in a cryptic post uploaded to Instagram last week (Sept. 24). “Today, I can thankfully say, that is now firmly in the past, so I’d like to share my story with you in the coming months.”

A federal judge has denied a bid by Sean “Diddy” Combs to overturn his prostitution convictions, clearing the path for sentencing later this week.

In a ruling late Tuesday (Sept. 30), Judge Arun Subramanian rejected Combs’ various arguments for a new trial, including his eyebrow-raising claim that the “freak-off” sex parties at the heart of the case were just porn movie shoots protected by the First Amendment.

“Illegal activity can’t be laundered into constitutionally protected activity just by the desire to watch it,” the judge wrote. “Combs’s conduct goes far beyond that point.”

Judge Subramanian also rejected arguments about the Mann Act, the federal prostitution law Combs violated. His lawyers argued that the star merely hired men for consensual sex with his girlfriend, which they said didn’t meet the definition of “prostitution.” But the judge didn’t buy it.

“That definition would narrow prostitution almost out of existence,” he wrote. “It would exclude any situation in which a person pays a third party (like a brothel) to have sex with an employee.”

The ruling will clear the way for Combs’ sentencing, which is scheduled for Friday (Oct. 3). Prosecutors are seeking 11 years, while defense attorneys say Combs should get just 14 months — a sentence that would see him released almost immediately on time served.

Combs was arrested and charged in September 2024 with racketeering (RICO) and sex trafficking violations over accusations that he ran a sprawling criminal operation aimed at facilitating “freak-offs” — elaborate events which he allegedly forced ex-girlfriend Cassie Ventura and other women to have sex with male escorts while he watched and masturbated.

Following a blockbuster trial this spring, jurors issued a verdict clearing Combs on the RICO and sex trafficking charges that could have seen him sentenced to prison for life. But he was still convicted on two other counts for transporting Ventura and others across state lines for the purposes of prostitution.

In July, Combs’ lawyers asked the judge to overturn those convictions, calling them an “unprecedented” and unconstitutional use of the Mann Act against their client.

“Sean Combs sits in jail based on evidence that he paid adult male escorts and entertainers who engaged in consensual sexual activities with his former girlfriends, which he videotaped and later watched with the girlfriends,” his lawyers wrote. “That is not prostitution, and if it is, his conviction is unconstitutional.”

But in Tuesday’s decision, Judge Subramanian said there were no constitutional issues with the century-old statute or the way the government was now wielding it against Combs.

“Combs is right that the Mann Act’s text and application have changed over the last century,” the judge wrote. “But that has little relevance to his conduct, which sits at the heartland of the Act’s legitimate proscriptions. Unsurprisingly then, his conviction raises no constitutional problem.”

The judge also rejected arguments that there was simply not enough evidence to support the prostitution convictions. He ruled that prosecutors had “presented overwhelming evidence of Combs’s guilt under the Mann Act on many occasions” and that the government “proved its case many times over.”

In addition to clearing the way for sentencing, Tuesday’s ruling also sets the stage for Combs’ certain appeal of his convictions. Procedurally, such post-trial motions must be filed and denied by a trial judge before an appeal can be filed at a circuit court.

John Mayer is heading to India.

The seven-time Grammy-winning singer-songwriter and guitarist will perform his first-ever concert in the country on Jan. 22, 2026, at Mahalaxmi Racecourse in Mumbai. The one-night-only show will be presented and produced by BookMyShow Live, the live entertainment arm of BookMyShow.

“India has long been on my list of places to play, not just for the vibrancy of its culture but for the way music lives in the everyday lives of people here,” Mayer said in a statement. “To finally perform in Mumbai feels both humbling and exhilarating.”

Tickets will be available through BookMyShow beginning with an exclusive pre-sale for RuPay credit card holders on Oct. 12, 2025, followed by a general on-sale on Oct. 13, 2025.

The announcement underscores the expanding role of BookMyShow Live as a driver of international touring in South Asia. Once a ticketing startup, the company has evolved into a full-service live entertainment player, producing and promoting tours and festivals across India. Past projects have included bringing global superstars like Coldplay, U2, Ed Sheeran, Guns N’ Roses, Maroon 5 and Post Malone to the market, as well as creating large-scale experiences such as Lollapalooza India, Cirque du Soleil’s BAZZAR and NBA exhibition games.

“John Mayer’s debut performance in India represents a significant cultural milestone and reflects how far live music has come in this country,” said Naman Pugalia, chief business officer of live events at BookMyShow, in a statement. “His music has touched millions across the world, weaving its way into some of the most personal and unforgettable moments of our lives. To finally see him on stage in Mumbai transforms that private connection into a collective experience.”

In recent years, India has emerged as a major stop for international acts. Post Malone, Imagine Dragons, and Dua Lipa have all sold out shows across the country, while Lollapalooza India drew 60,000 fans in 2023. According to Live Nation, Lollapalooza India’s 2025 edition — headlined by Green Day and Shawn Mendes — set a new attendance record. And the momentum continues: Cigarettes After Sex sold out two large shows in January, Guns N’ Roses will take the stage at Mahalaxmi Racecourse next month and Travis Scott is slated to perform in Delhi this October.

“My Only Angel,” the first taste of Aerosmith and YUNGBLUD’s forthcoming collaborative EP, blasts in at No. 1 on Billboard’s Hot Hard Rock Songs chart (dated Oct. 4). With the entrance, the legendary rock group earns its first No. 1 on the list, which began in 2020, while YUNGBLUD captures his second, after “Obey” ruled for a week in September 2020.

“My Only Angel” soars in atop the multimetric chart through a combination of 2 million official streams, 1.4 million radio audience impressions and 5,000 song sales in the United States in the Sept. 19-25 tracking week, according to Luminate.

The song previews Aerosmith and YUNGBLUD’s joint EP, One More Time, due Nov. 21. Among the five tracks is “Back in the Saddle (2025 Mix)”; Aerosmith’s original song by that title that reached No. 38 on the Billboard Hot 100 in 1977. One More Time marks Aerosmith’s first new material since its 2012 album, Music From Another Dimension!

Concurrently, “My Only Angel” debuts at No. 37 on Mainstream Rock Airplay as Aerosmith’s 45th appearance on the tally and first since “Lover Alot” in 2012. Dating to the radio chart’s launch in March 1981, the group has scored nine No. 1 hits among 24 top 10s. Prior to the new track, the band mined similar lyrical territory with “Angel” (No. 2, 1988) and “Angel’s Eye” (No. 4, 2000).

In addition to its chart-topping Hot Hard Rock Songs debut, “My Only Angel” begins at No. 20 on the Hot Rock Songs chart and No. 23 on Hot Rock & Alternative Songs, both of which follow the same multimetric methodology.

YUNGBLUD and Aerosmith’s Steven Tyler and Joe Perry performed together at the MTV Video Music Awards on Sept. 7 as part of a tribute to the late Ozzy Osbourne. Tyler and YUNGBLUD also played at Osbourne’s final concert in Birmingham, England, on July 5.
