Papa Roach frontman Jacoby Shaddix has shared an update on the band’s next album, revealing that five or six songs are already completed, with more in the works. A new single is expected in June, and Shaddix hinted at surprise guest features. He also reflected on the band’s experience releasing their last album independently. Meanwhile, Papa Roach recently dropped an acoustic version of “Even If It Kills Me” and continue to champion mental health awareness through their music.
And finally, Punk legend Billy Idol has discovered a long-lost son, Brant Northridge, through a DNA test initiated by his daughter, Bonnie Blue Broad. The revelation unfolds in his new documentary Billy Idol Should Be Dead, which premiered at the Tribeca Festival in June 2025. The film explores Idol’s personal journey, newfound family ties, and evolution from wild rocker to devoted grandfather.
