Montreal’s Wolf Parade had a big year in 2025, and 2026 is shaping up to be just as exciting.

After spending last year on the road celebrating the 20th anniversary of Apologies to the Queen Mary, their seminal 2005 album, Wolf Parade enjoyed a significant resurgence in popularity over the holidays. Their song I’ll Believe in Anything, which holds a special place in the heart and on the soundtrack of Montrealer Jacob Tierney, creator of the hit series Heated Rivalry, played a key role in that renewed attention.

Ranked among the 10 most-watched series on HBO platforms since its launch, the show, which centers on professional gay hockey players from rival teams involved in a secret relationship, prominently features a great deal of Canadian music.

The timing could not be better, as it was announced today that Wolf Parade will reissue Apologies to the Queen Mary on vinyl (transparent pink) via the renowned American label Sub Pop. Aware of exactly who this pressing would appeal to, the band also added a themed T-shirt to their merchandise lineup, in which the “L” in “Wolf Parade” is replaced by a hockey stick, alongside the song title I’ll Believe in Anything.

The Apologies to the Queen Mary vinyl is available for pre-order now. The band will be heading back on the road, including an Ontario tour scheduled for March.

Bad Bunny sued for $16 million over voice recordings on 'Debí Tirar Más Fotos' and 'X 100Pre' songs

Bad Bunny is facing a new $16 million lawsuit claiming he and his producing partner used a recording of a woman’s voice on two hit songs without her permission.

Tainaly Y. Serrano Rivera alleges in her 32-page lawsuit, filed Monday in Puerto Rico and obtained by Rolling Stone, that her voice appears prominently on the superstar’s 2018 track, “Solo de Mi,” from X 100pre and his follow-up song “EoO” from his 2025 album Debí Tirar Más Fotos. Serrano says both songs feature her delivering the line, “Mira, puñeta, no me quiten el perreo,” which translates roughly to, “Look, damn it, don’t take away my perreo.” (Perreo is a hip-driven dance style synonymous with reggaeton.)

Brigitte Bardot underwent surgery for cancer prior to death

In the final months of Brigitte Bardot‘s life, the actress underwent multiple surgeries to treat cancer, her husband Bernard d’Ormale told Paris Match. The two procedures, paired with her history of severe back pain, further weakened her health prior to her death on Dec. 28 at the age of 91.

“It slipped out two or three times in recent months, during moments of physical suffering, she would say: ‘I’m fed up, I want to leave…'” d’Ormale said. He noted that Bardot received assistance from nurses who “discreetly” visited their residence in Saint-Tropez on a daily basis. He also provided aid.
