Machine Gun Kelly and Julia Wolf drop remake of Goo Goo Dolls’ classic “Iris”

Machine Gun Kelly (MGK) has joined forces with singer-songwriter Julia Wolf to release a fresh take on the Goo Goo Dolls’ beloved 1998 hit, “Iris.”

Originally penned by Goo Goo Dolls frontman John Rzeznik, “Iris” was crafted specifically for the soundtrack of the 1998 romantic drama City of Angels, starring Nicolas Cage and Meg Ryan. The song’s lyrics were inspired by the film’s storyline, in which Cage’s character (an angel) considers relinquishing his immortality in order to experience human love with Ryan’s character.

“Iris” was officially released as a single on April 1, 1998, and later appeared on the Goo Goo Dolls’ sixth studio album, Dizzy Up the Girl which dropped later that same year. The song remains the Goo Goo Dolls’ most iconic tracks, and has been RIAA-certified Diamond for sales of more than 10 million units, racking up more than 2 billion streams on Spotify alone.

HBO documentary ‘Billy Joel: And So It Goes’ premiering in two parts on July 18th, July 25

The HBO Original two-part documentary Billy Joel: And So It Goes will debut on Friday, July 18th at 8 pm ET/PT followed by part two debuting Friday, July 25th at the same time on HBO and will be available to stream on HBO Max.

Billy Joel: And So It Goes, directed by Emmy winners Susan Lacy and Jessica Levin, teases “unprecedented access to never-before-seen performances, home movies, and personal photographs, along with extensive, in-depth one-on-one interviews.” The two-part documentary – directed by Emmy winners Susan Lacy and Jessica Levin – is described as “an expansive portrait of the life and music” of Joel, and is set to explore the “love, loss, and personal struggles that fuel his songwriting.”

Director Lacy shares: “For those who think they know Joel’s story, as well as those who are not as familiar, I believe this two-part film is both a revelation and a surprise. I was drawn to his story as someone who knew little at the outset, and was astounded at how autobiographical his songs are and how complex his story is. We are gratified that Bill trusted us with his story, which we have told as honestly as possible, diving into territory which has not been explored before.”

The documentary features interviews with Joel, as well as friend and former collaborator Jon Small, ex-wife and former manager Elizabeth Weber, ex-wives Christie Brinkley and Katie Lee, daughter Alexa Ray Joel, wife Alexis Roderick Joel, members of his band, and musical contemporaries, such as Bruce Springsteen, Sting, John Mellencamp, Nas, Pink, Garth Brooks, Paul McCartney, and more.
