Sting recently released a new song, “I Wrote Your Name (Upon My Heart),” via Cherrytree Music Company/Interscope Records. The 17-time Grammy Award winning artist also released an accompanying music video.

“I Wrote Your Name (Upon My Heart)” features a permutation of his lively “Bo Diddley Beat.”

With formidable musical contributions from Dominic Miller on guitar, Chris Maas on drums and Martin Kierszenbaum on organ, Sting sings, plays bass and applies his own electric guitar.

“I Wrote Your Name (Upon My Heart)” marks the English musician’s first new song since his 2021 album, The Bridge.

The 3-minute and 22-second track was produced by Martin “Cherry Cherry Boom Boom” Kierszenbaum, mixed by Robert Orton and mastered by Gene Grimaldi.

Sting’s North American tour kicks off with a two night-stand at the legendary Fillmore Theater in Detroit on September 17 and 18.

In a recent interview with Rolling Stone, Pink Floyd legend David Gilmour said that it is his dream to sell the band’s catalog.

Gilmour said that the interest to sell the catalog is not for the financial windfall that he would get, but because that would mean one less headache he’d have to deal with moving forward.

“To be rid of the decision-making and the arguments that are involved with keeping it going is my dream,” he explained in the interview. “I am not interested in that from a financial standpoint. I’m only interested in it from getting out of the mud bath that it has been for quite a while.”

The “mud bath” Gilmour speaks about is seemingly in reference to his contentious relationship with former Pink Floyd bandmate Roger Waters, whom Gilmour described as a “misogynistic, antisemitic, Putin apologist” in 2023.

Pink Floyd first explored a catalog sale in 2022, but the discussions fell apart due to infighting among the band members and a round of inflammatory comments from Waters.

According to the Financial Times, the catalog sale would hover somewhere around $500 million if it were to proceed.

Queen’s Brian May has revealed that he recently suffered a “minor stroke.” He made the revelation in a video posted to YouTube and Instagram.

The 77-year-old music legend said he suffered the stroke around a week ago, leaving his left arm paralyzed.

However, May said he has recovered in the meantime, regaining enough movement so that he is now able to play music.

“Good news is that I can play guitar after the events of the last few days and I say this because it was in some doubt because that little health hiccup that I mentioned happened about a week ago,” May said.
“It was a minor stroke and all of a sudden, out of the blue, I didn’t have any control over this arm. So was a little scary.”

“I have to say I had the most fantastic care and attention from Frimley Hospital where I went, blue lights flashing… the lot. Very exciting,” he added, in an apparent reference to him being taken to a hospital in Surrey, England, aboard an ambulance.

The Queen guitarist survived a heart attack in May 2020 after he tore his gluteus maximus muscles.

In the video, May also spoke about his new documentary, Brian May: The Badgers, The Farmers and Me.

“There are plenty of bombshells in the documentary and plenty of great new insights which, when the dust settles, will give farmers new ammunition in their personal fight against bovine TB,” he said.
