John Williams Reportedly Returns To ‘Star Wars’ To Compose ‘Obi-Wan Kenobi’ Theme
John Williams is reportedly back in the Star Wars universe for the upcoming Obi-Wan Kenobi series. According to sources, the esteemed composer scored the Lucasfilm and Disney series’ theme with a Los Angeles orchestra “under tight security” last week. This will mark Williams’ first piece of Star Wars work since scoring the theme of Disneyland’s Star Wars: Galaxy’s Edge, and his first theme for a series since 2009’s Great Performances. The 90-year-old composer scored all nine Star Wars films as well as 2018’s Solo: A Star Wars Story. Back in 2018, Williams told KUSC radio that The Rise of Skywalker would be the last Star Wars title he will score. “We know (director) J.J. Abrams is preparing one (more Star Wars movie) now, that I will hopefully do next year for him,” he previously said....

‘Mrs. Doubtfire’ Pushes Broadway Return to April 14
Mrs. Doubtfire is pushing its experimental Broadway return by a month. On Friday (Feb. 18), producer Kevin McCollum announced that the musical comedy based on the 1993 film starring Robin Williams would be coming back to the Great White Way a month later than its originally scheduled March 15 curtain up. On Jan. 10, the show — which initially opened on Dec. 5 at the Stephen Sondheim Theatre — began a nine-week hiatus prompted by the omicron variant wave that hit Broadway. Speaking to The New York Times, McCollum explained that the decision to close the production temporarily was based partly on the decrease in COVID-19 cases across New York City — something that prompted Gov. Kathy Hochul to drop the state’s indoor mask mandate starting Feb. 8. (The Broadway League renewed its audience mas...
Summerfest Organizers Scale Back COVID Precautions
Organizers of Milwaukee’s Summerfest music celebration are planning to scale back COVID-19 precautions this year.

FNF Chop And Stunna 4 Vegas Connect on New Visual & Single “Best Friend”
Virgina rapper FNF Chop is not slowing down anytime soon. More proof of this comes along with the release of a visual for his all-new track titled “Best Friend.” Here, he connects with North Carolina rapper Stunna 4 Vegas, to deliver non-stop, punching bars. Chop started gaining buzz when he released his single “Walk Down” in 2019. Chop, who’s most recently been co-signed by fellow Virgina royalty Pharrell, has shown consistency with each release, improving each time out since being released from jail in December of 2021. The new record, ”Best Friend,” produced by frequent collaborator Gringo, captures the high-octane energy of the fellow Southern rappers, over a hard-hitting bass instrumental and menacing hook. Watch the Domico Phillips-directed video for FNF Chop & Stunna 4...

Los Padres Return With Riveting Remix of R3HAB and Lucas Graham’s “Most People”
And just like that, Los Padres have returned. Following hot on the heels of a slew of official remixes, perhaps most notably their rework of R3HAB’s “Runaway” (with Sigala and JP Cooper), the ambitious Caribbean duo have executed another refreshing rework of R3HAB’s music. “Most People,” a dance-pop smash by the multi-Platinum dance music vet and featuring three-time Grammy-nominated band Lukas Graham, was their latest selection. In their bouncy future house rendition, Los Padres maintain the subtle guitar work of the original in a tip of the cap to R3HAB’s production. Then the tandem mix in a high-energy blend of elements such as warm piano chords, electrifying synths, and buzzy saws in perfect cohesion. All-in-all, it’s an anthemic, dancefloor-re...

RICHIE FAULKNER Says ’10 Years Of Weirdness’ Between K.K. DOWNING And JUDAS PRIEST Has Been ‘A Bit Unnecessary’
During a recent interview with Canada’s The Metal Voice, JUDAS PRIEST guitarist Richie Faulkner was asked what he thinks it would take for the band to reunite with the man he replaced in PRIEST, original guitarist Kenneth “K.K.” Downing. He responded (as transcribed by BLABBERMOUTH.NET): “I don’t know. It’s not my relationship. I think it goes beyond the music. There’s some stuff there that’s obviously personal, and it’s not my fight; it’s not my relationship. I think if it was purely music or business, then maybe it could be a money thing or it could be a creative thing, but I think it goes beyond that. And it’s up to the guys, really — it’s up to the guys to sort of find out what that is, or not. They don’t hav...

You can now watch the remaining two parts of the chat below. Speaking about the LP’s opening track, “Mouth For War”, Anselmo said (as transcribed by BLABBERMOUTH.NET): “When we wrote ‘Mouth For War’, I wrote the main riff and Dimebag [PANTERA guitarist Darrell Abbott] liked it. And it sounded about a thousand times better when he played it. And he made it his own. And everybody — God — they put that song together; we put that song together. I think we knew we had written a pretty good song, that one. And I think the video for its time was ...
