Pretenders announce new album

The Pretenders are releasing a new album on Oct. 21 — and then they're going on tour with Stevie Nicks. Alone, recorded with Dan Auerbach in Nashville, is the band's first all-new studio album since 2008. (The Current)

Nicks will headline the 24 Karat Gold tour, named after her latest album; the tour opens Oct. 25 in Phoenix and stops at the Xcel Energy Center on Dec. 6. Nicks is rooting for Democratic nominee Hillary Clinton in this fall's presidential election. "When she wins by a landslide," says Nicks, "I could gather together the Dixie Chicks, Billy Corgan and everybody who’s ever sung a version of 'Landslide.' It's not up-tempo, but it certainly would get the message across." (Rolling Stone)
