During a recent interview with the British station BBC Radio 2, the former member of the Beatles revealed a project idea that was audacious to say the least: creating a posthumous duet with Minneapolis legend Prince. Paul McCartney indeed explained that he discovered, with great admiration, that the interpreter of Purple Rain regularly covered the Beatles’ timeless classic in concert, The Long and Winding Road.Â
Particularly seduced by this reinterpretation with more resolutely rock accents, the British musician declared that he wished to make an official request to Prince’s estate in order to obtain the rights to use this live recording. Sir’s goal Paul McCartney would be to superimpose his own voice in the studio, thus offering the public a historic virtual collaboration between two of the greatest geniuses of the rock pantheon. This surprise announcement comes on the eve of the highly anticipated release of his brand new solo album, The Boys Of Dungeon Lanewhich will be available tomorrow, on Friday May 29, 2026.

Olivia Rodrigo reframes her detractors
A few weeks before the release of his third album, the young 23-year-old American star decided to break the silence in the face of the harsh criticism to which she is regularly subjected. Targeted for her assumed taste for “babydoll” style dresses, often embellished with lace and small bows, Olivia Rodrigo is accused by certain Internet users of voluntarily infantilizing itself and of unwillingly promoting the sexualization of childhood, going as far as accusations of complacency towards child pornography.
Faced with these extremely violent attacks, the artist wanted to make a point pointing out the hypocrisy of the public and the industry. “I went on stage in a sequined bra and little shorts, which is my right,” she recalled. “And it wasn’t deemed ‘inappropriate,’ but if I’m covered in a dress that people think is childish, that’s ‘inappropriate.’ And that just shows how much we really normalize pedophilia in our culture.” A reply which highlights the contradictory injunctions weighing on young women in the pop world. This speech comes as the singer prepares to unveil her highly anticipated new album, you seem pretty sad for a girl so in loveprogramé for June 12.
