Alert about AI Fakes and Misinformation on Facebook

7 November 2025

While we’re getting a big kick out of the wild AI renderings and outrageous fake stories being circulated by creepy bot accounts on Facebook, we do want to acknowledge that the misinformation about Bonnie’s career, family, politics and philanthropy being spread by these accounts is harmful and misleading. There seems to be an uptick of these posts reaching the algorithm of Bonnie’s audience over the last 48 hours (at least) and we are aware of it and want to clarify a few things:

— There is not a Netflix documentary about Bonnie Raitt in the works.
— Bonnie is not doing a “farewell tour” or releasing a “farewell album.”
— She is not performing at Rockefeller Center in December 2025.
— Her brother was not a victim of the tragic UPS plane crash in Louisville on November 4, 2025.
— Bonnie is not in a Twitter spat with White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt or making posts about immigration policy and the like.
— Bonnie Raitt and Jackson Browne have not been asked to perform at TPUSA’s “The All-American Halftime Show.”

When there is new information about Bonnie’s music and touring activity that she wants to share with the world, that information will be posted on her official website http://www.bonnieraitt.com and her official social media channels that carry the blue verified check mark next to her name. Please do not engage with the posts being made by those deceitful accounts masquerading as genuine as that only encourages them to spread more misinformation. Please don’t ever be faked into believing that Bonnie Raitt is in your Direct Messages chatting with you one-one-one personally. Here are Bonnie’s official social channels which will be the only location you’ll see information truly coming from her and her team. We thank you for weathering this AI storm with us! — BRHQ

AMERICAN SONGWRITER – Bonnie Raitt Inspires on Album ‘Just Like That…’

9 June 2022

BY TINA BENITEZ-EVES

Watching a human interest segment on the news in 2018, Bonnie Raitt couldn’t pull away from the story of a woman who donated her child’s organ and was about to meet the recipient of her son’s heart for the first time. The man sat with her and asked if she would like to put her head on his chest so she could hear her son’s heart. “I just lost it,” says Raitt. “It was the most moving and surprising thing. I wasn’t expecting it. I vowed right then that I wanted to write a song about what that would take.”

STEREOGUM – We’ve Got A File On You: Bonnie Raitt

22 April 2022

By Ryan Leas
Bonnie Raitt has, infamously, had one of the stranger career trajectories out there. Way back in the beginning of the ’70s, she quickly garnered the respect of older musicians and the interest of labels thanks to her guitar playing and her ability to dig into blues and folk standards. Across that decade and into the ’80s, she built up a loyal following, but never crossed over to runaway mainstream success — that is, until she was 40 and a whole new chapter of her career began with Nick Of Time.
