Justin Bieber Releases New Album, 'Swag,' With Surprise Drop
Justin Bieber shocked fans by dropping a surprise album, his first in more than four years, after days of posting photos of himself in the studio. The 31-year-old singer released his seventh studio album, titled'Swag,' on Friday, July 10. The LP was made available on streaming platforms at midnight. Bieber's last album, 'Justice,' which included his hits 'Holy,' 'Lonely,' 'Hold On' and 'Peaches,' dropped in March 2021. In 2023, he was featured on the acoustic version SZA's single 'Snooze' and Don Toliver's 'Private Landing,' which also featured Future. The Grammy winner had teased his new album July 9, sharing photos of his album cover on billboards around the world. Prior to the official drop, he shared what appeared to be the album cover, which included him holding his almost-1-year-old son, Jack, whom he shares with wife Hailey Bieber. In another post, which appeared to be in New York's Times Square, Bieber shared the record's 21-song track list. He also shared a photo of the track list on a billboard near State Farm Arena in Atlanta, Georgia. On July 7, Bieber shared a handful of photos of himself in the studio. Jack was also included in the jam session. In one pic, the toddler stands by a wooden table, dressed in striped overalls as some musicians strum on guitars. Over the years, Bieber has taken breaks from music to focus on his mental health. In 2019, he shared on social media that he was stepping back from his work to deal with some private issues 'so that I don't fall apart.' 'I read a lot of messages saying you want an album. I've toured my whole teenage life, and early 20s,' he began. 'I realized and as you guys probably saw I was unhappy last tour and I don't deserve that and you don't deserve that, you pay money to come and have a lively energetic fun light concert and I was unable emotionally to give you that near the end of the tour.' After releasing 'Justice,' he canceled the rest of the North American leg of his tour in June 2022 after sharing that he was suffering from Ramsay Hunt syndrome, a rare disorder caused by a virus that affects the facial nerve and can lead to paralysis. The pop star continued touring shortly after, performing six shows in Europe and one in Brazil. However, he then announced he would be taking a break from touring.

Brian Wilson's complex relationship with his daughters resurfaces after death
Brian Wilson's complex relationship with his daughters has resurfaced after his death. The Beach Boys icon's passing aged 82 following a long dementia battle was announced on Wednesday (11.06.25) at the age of 82, and he had daughters Carnie Wilson, 57, and Wendy Wilson, 55, with his first wife Marilyn Wilson, a singer with 1960s girl group The Honeys. Carnie and Wendy's parents divorced in 1979 after a turbulent marriage marked by Brian's struggles with substance abuse and mental health, including a diagnosis of schizoaffective disorder. The breakdown of the relationship led to years of estrangement between the musician and his daughters, with limited contact during their formative years. Brian remarried in 1995, wedding Melinda Ledbetter. Together they adopted five children – Dakota Rose, Daria Rose, Delanie Rose, Dylan and Dash. While his younger children remained out of the public spotlight, Carnie and Wendy went on to form the pop trio Wilson Phillips in 1989 alongside Chynna Phillips, daughter of John and Michelle Phillips of The Mamas and the Papas. The group achieved rapid commercial success in the early 1990s with hits including Hold On, Release Me and You're in Love. Despite their fame, Carnie and Wendy's personal relationship with their father remained strained. In a 1992 interview with the Los Angeles Times quoted by the Daily Mail, Carnie said: 'We can't call him up and we can't see him. I guess we could, but we're so afraid of each other. I don't know what I would say to him.' That same year, the sisters addressed their estrangement through a track titled Flesh and Blood, featured on Wilson Phillips' second album Shadows and Light. The song was written as an emotional outreach to their father. Their lyrics included the lines: 'If you never plan to come out of your shell / You're never gonna get well… For years I've been following your case / It's the only time I see your face.' Carnie also told the Los Angeles Times she was unsure how Brian would respond to the tune: 'He's either going to cry real hard, or else just stare at something and get (mad.)' A reconciliation between Brian and his daughters began in 1994, when the family reunited after years of minimal contact. Speaking to People at the time, Carnie said: 'Wendy and I are doing demo tapes for our debut album as a duo, and I hope Daddy will provide background harmonies. I know that one day we'll all work together.' The connection strengthened in later years, particularly through music. Carnie also told UsWeekly in 2024 Brian had become one of Wilson Phillips' biggest supporters. She said: 'He also loves Wilson Phillips. He really does. 'He's always asking me, 'How's Wilson Phillips?' I go, 'We're great, Dad.' He's funny. He's very proud.' Even after being diagnosed with a neurocognitive disorder similar to dementia, Brian continued to share musical moments with his daughters. Carnie told UsWeekly: 'We love to sing Surfer Girl and In My Room. 'Sometimes a little California Girls, (which is) his favourite, and sometimes we do Be My Baby.' Though the Wilson sisters largely avoided trading on their famous surname early in their career, their eventual musical collaborations with their father marked a shift. Carnie said of their family connections in the Los Angeles Times: 'We didn't want people to think that they were (the reasons for) our success. Because they weren't.'

Carnie Wilson honours late father Brian Wilson
Brian Wilson's daughter Carnie Wilson has broken her silence on her father's death. "I have no words to express the sadness I feel right now," she began her post, which she shared alongside a photo of her and her sister, Wendy Wilson. "My father @brianwilsonlive was every fibre of my body. He will be remembered by millions and millions until the world ends." The Hold On singer noted how "lucky" she was to have been his daughter and "had a soul connection with him". "I've never felt this kind of pain before, but I know he's resting up there in heaven, or maybe playing the piano for Grandma Audree, his Mom," wrote Carnie. "I will post something else soon but this is all my hands will let me type. I love you Daddy. I miss you so much already." In an Instagram post on 11 June, Wilson's family confirmed that he had died at the age of 82. No cause of death has been revealed. Nancy Sinatra, who collaborated with Wilson on her 2002 album California Girls, called singing with the late artist "one of the biggest thrills of my life" in a heartfelt Instagram tribute. "His cherished music will live forever as he travels through the Universe and beyond," Sinatra captioned the post, alongside a photo of Wilson with his arm wrapped around her. "God bless you, sweet Brian."
