Huey Lewis and the News unveiled a new song, “While We’re Young,” from their first album of all new music in 19 years, Weather, out February 14th, 2020. “While We’re Young” is a plucky pop rock tune with supple guitars and bright horns fluttering over a tight drum and bass groove. Lewis is as wry and witty as ever on vocals as he sings about turning back the clock, while still properly acknowledging the limits of one’s age: “We’ll take a nap in the afternoon/That’s just part of the fun/So much of youth is wasted on the young/Watch your tongue… Tell the kids we’ll be late/And we’ll need to recuperate!” “While We’re Young” follows Huey Lewis and the News’ previous single, “Her Love Is Killin’ Me,” which was released in September and marked the band’s first new song in more than 10 years.

Huey Lewis and the News Musical in the Works
The music of Huey Lewis and the News will anchor a new stage musical, Heart of Rock and Roll. Lewis announced the musical on Thursday in a short video that also features Jimmy Kimmel, who announced that he would be quitting his job to star as Lewis in Heart of Rock and Roll. While Lewis tried to explain that the show was not about himself, but rather an original story based on his music, Kimmel remained committed to the role, even taking out a harmonica to prove he was ready for the gig. As Kimmel finally began to realize that his Broadway dreams would not be coming true, the late-night host cracked, “The power of love is a curious thing, Huey. Makes one man weep – and that man’s gonna be me right now.” Heart of Rock and Roll will feature some of Lewis’ best known songs, including “The Power of Love,” “Hip to Be Square” and “If This is It.” Gordon Greenberg will direct the show, while Jonathan Abrams wrote the book … [Read more...] about Huey Lewis and the News Musical in the Works

A Los Angeles news helicopter was forced to make an emergency landing when it was struck by a flying object, believed to be a drone, which ripped a hole in its tail. The crew aboard KABC’s Air 7 HD chopper say they were flying east of downtown LA at around 1, 100 feet up in the early hours of Thursday morning when they heard a popping noise, followed by a loud bang. ‘We felt it, we heard it and we all looked at each other; didn't really know what it was,’ reporter Chris Cristi recalled for the station. The impact didn't affect the helicopter's ability to fly but the pilot landed as a precaution.
