Beginning Friday, May 22, E Street Radio will broadcast a series of concerts recorded live at the Meadowlands over the past 25 years, with live coverage of the Boss' Memorial Day weekend concerts and more. E Street Radio can be found on Sirius channel 10 and XM channel 58.


Mariah Carey

Mariah Carey announced via her Twitter account on Wednesday that her next album will be titled Memoirs Of An Imperfect Angel. The-Dream revealed earlier this year that he had been collaborating with Carey on new material for her next record. A representative for the singer told MTV News that Carey's next record is "coming soon."

The 54th annual Ivor Novello Awards have been handed out in the U.K., which honor excellence in music writing. Brit band Elbow won a pair of awards for their songs "One Day Like This" and "Grounds For Divorce." Radiohead's Jonny Greenwood won for Best Original Film Score for There Will Be Blood, Duffy's "Mercy" won for Most Performed Work and "Viva La Vida" from Coldplay was named Best Selling British Song. The Ting Tings' We Started Nothing won the Novello Award for Album of the Year. Smokey Robinson was honored with the Special International Award.

The complete list of opening bands for Blink-182's upcoming tour has been finalized. Weezer, Fall Out Boy, Taking Back Sunday, The All-American Rejects, Panic At The Disco, Asher Roth and Chester French will all open up selected dates on the tour, in different combinations.

Rihanna stars in Kanye West's new video for his song "Paranoid." The video was screened last night at an Island Def Jam event and is expected to debut officially online any day now.

Depeche Mode has cancelled three more shows on the European leg of their Sounds Of The Universe tour, as frontman Dave Gahan continues to recover from severe gastroenteritis. The band has scrapped dates in Poland, Latvia and Lithuania. Depeche Mode's next scheduled gig is May 30 at the O2 Arena in London.

Dave Matthews Band and Hulu have teamed up to stream DMB's June 1 concert at the Beacon Theatre in New York City. The gig is the first-ever live concert streamed by Hulu, and the full show will be available to watch on-demand after it debuts.

R&B singer Natalie Cole has received a new kidney in Los Angeles and is recovering from surgery, reports Reuters. Cole revealed last year she was suffering from Hepatitis C but continued to tour around the world. She will however postpone her summer touring plans as she recovers for the next few months.

Atlanta resident Aubrey Louise Berry has been charged in connection with the murder of rapper Dolla, according to the L.A. County District Attorney's office. Berry allegedly shot and killed Dolla in the parking garage of the Beverly Center mall on Monday afternoon. Dolla (real name: Roderick Burton) will be laid to rest this weekend in Atlanta, with a viewing on Friday and a memorial service on Saturday.
