The Beatles' Apple Corps Announces Its New CEO
The Beatles' Apple Corps Ltd. has announced its new CEO, British executive Tom Greene. The Beatles originally founded Apple in 1968 to handle their creative and business interests, with their longtime friend and lieutenant Neil Aspinall as the first CEO. But Apple has kept busy in recent years, as the band's music keeps getting bigger all the time. Paul McCartney, Ringo Starr, Olivia Harrison, and Sean Ono Lennon said in a joint statement, 'We are thrilled to welcome Tom Greene as CEO. We have a lot of exciting plans and Tom's experience and vision make him the perfect person to join us in making it all happen.' More from Rolling Stone The World's Hardest Beatles 'Abbey Road' Quiz Beyoncé Thanks Paul McCartney for 'Writing One of the Best Songs Ever Made' Paul McCartney Pays Tribute to 'Musical Genius' Brian Wilson: 'I Loved Him' Greene is only the third to hold this position, following two legends. Aspinall is one of the most famous figures in the Beatles story, a member of their inner circle going back to their Liverpool days — he was a school friend of McCartney's and George Harrison's, and served as their first roadie, driving a van on their early tours. He ran Apple Corps for nearly 40 years until he retired in 2007, a year before his death. Jeff Jones took over and oversaw the astounding explosion of Beatles archival projects, especially the deluxe editions that began in 2017 with Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band. These projects have revolutionized how people hear this music, with expanded and remastered editions of the White Album, Abbey Road, Let It Be, and Revolver. So have innovative documentaries like Peter Jackson's Get Back and Ron Howard's Eight Days a Week: The Touring Years. Apple has continued to administer the Beatles' projects at a frantic pace. Last year alone, Apple and Disney+ released the documentary Beatles '64, directed by David Tedeschi and produced by Martin Scorsese, as well as a beautifully restored version of Michael Lindsay-Hogg's 1970 Let It Be. In November, Apple Corps Ltd./Capitol/UMe also released The Beatles: 1964 U.S. Albums in Mono, a box collecting the band's first seven American albums on 180-gram audiophile vinyl. In 2023, Apple released the deluxe reissues of the classic anthologies 1962-1966 and 1967-1970, better known as the Red and Blue albums, along with the Fabs' official final single, 'Now and Then,' which won a Grammy Award for Best Rock Performance. Greene's appointment at Apple is effective in September of this year. He comes from the gaming world, where he became COO of the esports company BLAST in 2021. Greene previously spent six years working with the Harry Potter franchise, running Pottermore Publishing as well as Wizarding World Digital. 'It is a huge honour to lead Apple Corps into this new phase of its history,' Greene said in a statement. 'Like so many people around the world, I grew up in a household obsessed with the Beatles and their music. At a time when the world might need more of the Beatles' spirit, there are so many new and innovative ways to bring their unique magic to all generations of fans. I cannot wait to get started.' Director Sam Mendes' four-part movie epic about the band is scheduled to open in April 2028, through Sony Pictures Entertainment and Neal Street Productions. It stars Paul Mescal as Paul, Harris Dickinson as John, Joseph Quinn as George, and Barry Keoghan as Ringo. The official title is The Beatles – A Four-Film Cinematic Event.

What to Know About Bob Vylan, the Band at the Center of a Scandal
Before this weekend, Bob Vylan was a rising punk band with about 273,000 monthly listeners on Spotify — hardly a household name. Now, after leading chants of 'Death, death to the I.D.F.' in reference to Israel's army at the Glastonbury festival in England, it has become punk rock's latest notorious act. On Monday, British police opened a criminal investigation into the chant, shortly after Prime Minister Keir Starmer and Jewish groups condemned it as hate speech. In the United States, the deputy secretary of state, Christopher Landau, said that the State Department had revoked visas for Bob Vylan's members, meaning the band can no longer play a planned U.S. tour. Despite all the attention now focused on the group, many people had never heard of it before. Here's what you need to know. Who is in Bob Vylan and what's its music like? A British punk-rap duo known for fast-paced, politically provocative songs, the group uses pseudonyms and deliberately obfuscates other biographical details. The singer goes by Bobby Vylan and the dummer by Bobbie Vylan Want all of The Times? Subscribe.

It's Princess Diana's Birthday, And Prince William Has Major Plans To Honour It
Prince William has a deeply meaningful plan to honour what would've been his mother Princess Diana's 64th birthday today. Prince William intends to travel to Sheffield to mark the second anniversary of his Homewards initiative, which aims to make homelessness 'rare, brief and unrepeated.' The initiative was largely inspired by the advocacy of his late mother. Prince William launched the Homewards initiative in 2023 as part of a five-year plan to tackle homelessness. Per the Royal Foundation, 'Homewards will support local partners to form locally led coalitions of committed individuals, organisations, and businesses who will work together to create and deliver a tailored plan to prevent homelessness in their areas – based on local needs and local expertise.' Upon the launch of the initiative, Prince William featured in an ITV documentary, Prince William: We Can End Homelessness, in which he commented on how much of an inspiration Princess Diana had been in his establishing the scheme. 'My mother took me to The Passage [a homeless shelter]. She took Harry and I both there. I must have been about 11, I think, probably, at the time. Maybe 10. I'd never been to anything like that before. And I was a bit anxious as to what to expect,' Prince William said in the documentary, per the BBC. 'My mother went about her usual part of making everyone feel relaxed, and having a laugh and joking with everyone. I remember at the time, kind of thinking, well, if everyone's not got a home, they're all going to be really sad.' Prince William's interview in the 2024 ITV documentary also marked his first time in six years publicly referencing his brother Prince Harry.
