Chicago recently released a new single, "If This Is Goodbye," their first new music in eight years, ahead of their summer co-headlining tour with Brian Wilson, co-founder of the Beach Boys, with Al Jardine and Blondie Chaplin.

"If This Is Goodbye" is the band's first original release since 2014's Chicago XXXVI: Now, and their first original single since 2008's "Let's Take a Lifetime," which appeared on Stone of Sisyphus.

In "If This Is Goodbye," the band members reflect on their wild lives and relish the memories with lyrics like: "If this is goodbye / Let's take one more shot for the memories / Life's too short to be enemies / And if this ends tonight / You can save your tears for the other guys / I'll see you in another life."

Kelly Clarkson performed a cover of Joni Mitchell's "River" during the "Kellyoke" segment of "The Kelly Clarkson Show" on Friday, May 20.

Clarkson stayed faithful to the song, while she was joined on stage by her musical director Jason Halbert and guitarist Jaco Caraco.

"I wish I had a river/I could skate away on," Clarkson crooned, "I'm so hard to handle/I'm selfish and I'm sad/I've gone and lost the best baby/That I ever had."

"River" is a song from Mitchell's 1971 album Blue. Clarkson's latest rendition is one of the countless covers of the song by other prominent artists, including Barry Manilow, Sarah McLachlan, James Taylor, Sam Smith, Judy Collins and Ellie Goulding. In 2019, Goulding's recording of "River" went No. 1 in the U.K.

Tickets for the "Good To Be Bad Tour: 45 Years Of Rock" shows go on sale on May 27, 12 pm (local time) via the Live Nation website.

George Thorogood and his long-time legendary band, consisting of Jeff Simon, Bill Blough, Jim Suhler and Buddy Leach, have sold more than 15 million albums since 1976, built a catalogue of classic hits, played more than 8000 ferocious live shows, and been a household name for more than two generations.

"Since I was 17, all I wanted to do was see how far I could go with my guitar, putting my own spin on music I loved," Thorogood said. "Expect our best on this tour because that's what you're gonna get."

To coincide with the tour, Universal Music will release the Australasian-Exclusive souvenir edition of The Original George Thorogood, a collection of the best songs from George Thorogood & The Destroyers.
