Singer, pianist, composer, bandleader and three-time GRAMMY®-winner Bruce Hornsby has released “Ecstatic,” the second single from his forthcoming album, Indigo Park, arriving April 3rd on Zappo Productions/Thirty Tigers. Inspired by a spirited chant he heard for many years as an AAU basketball parent, “Ecstatic” features notable backing vocals from Bonnie Raitt, with whom Hornsby first collaborated on Raitt’s 1991 hit, “I Can’t Make You Love Me.” A longtime basketball player and a passionate follower of the game, Hornsby recruited members of the LSU Tigers Women’s Basketball Team to appear in the “Ecstatic” music video, filmed on-campus at Louisiana State University.

I am deeply saddened to hear of the passing of my friend and inspiration, John Hammond, Jr. From the first time I heard him on the first blues album I bought, Blues at Newport ‘63 on Vanguard Records, I was just knocked out and have felt that way about him ever since. He was the inspiration for teaching myself blues guitar and learning how to sing these songs we loved so much. He made it cool and all right.

Not only was he a virtuoso on guitar, harp, singing and choosing songs, to me it felt like he was totally possessed by the blues. I’ve never witnessed anyone as swept up and away as John playing his music live.

I’m so grateful for our many years of friendship, being able to hang with so many blues greats, and best of all, that in his wife Marla, he found such a fun and abiding soulmate. Thank you Marla, for taking such great care of John, especially these last few years. I send my deepest condolences to you and all your family at this difficult time.

Rest in peace, dear John. You can be assured your monumental legacy will live on forever.
-Bonnie

We’ve gotten such great response to our yuletide share of Bonnie and legendary Charles Brown’s duet of his classic composition, “Merry Christmas, Baby,“ recorded in 1992 for the wonderful Special Olympics benefit compilation, ‘A Very Special Christmas, Vol. 2’, we thought we’d send it out again! Enjoy! – BRHQ

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
