Troye Sivan has begun teasing his comeback.
The pop singer-songwriter took to Instagram over the weekend (June 10) to tease that his long-awaited third studio album will soon be released, also hinting in the process that his next single is being titled ‘Rush’.
Writing on Instagram, Sivan shared an update, saying that he had no intention of making fans wait for five years for a new record since he last released his acclaimed sophomore album ‘Bloom’.
“I didn’t mean to take 5 years to make this album – Bloom tour happened (lmk if you came), then i started working on it, then cockbig19 (COVID-19), then The Idol, always working on the album in all the moments between..and now here we are,” Troye Sivan wrote. “Enough excuses now. Enough saying ‘soon’, this is for YOU and it starts NOWWWW”.

While further details on ‘Rush’ and the album it’s being taken from have yet to be announced, Sivan has been teasing the record since September last year.
2018’s ‘Bloom’ scored a glowing five-star review from NME’s El Hunt, who wrote: “Troye Sivan and other queer pop stars frequently find themselves lumped with common tags – “unapologetically out” is one clumsy term that often gets thrown about. As much as it’s often a cliché, unapologetic – or rather, completely empowered – is a mood that applies wholeheartedly to ‘Bloom’. Here, Sivan has created an album that does away with any apology; instead it sees him seize happiness with both hands.”
Since then, Sivan has released the 2020 EP ‘In A Dream’, and the standalone singles ‘Angel Baby’, ‘Trouble’ and ‘Wait’, the last two of which featured on the soundtrack of the Sivan-starring film Three Months.
Elsewhere, Sivan collaborated with Mark Ronson and Kacey Musgraves for a remix of the song ‘Easy’, which featured in its original form on ‘In A Dream’. Last year, he released the full version of that EP’s interlude ‘could cry just thinkin about you’, and featured alongside Tate McRae on the song ‘You’.

Gladys Knight has announced that she is "easing into fewer performances" following concerns about her appearing disoriented onstage.
The 82 year old Midnight Train to Georgia vocalist left some concertgoers concerned during a recent appearance when she looked toward the side of the stage during one song and allowed her backing vocalists to take over.
According to a Billboard review, "She barely got through this show, and only by leaning heavily on her backup singers. Artists need to know when it's time to bow out gracefully."
Following her most recent concert, Gladys issued a statement about her future plans. "After much soul searching I've decided that I will be easing into fewer performances while focusing on transitioning into the next stage of my career and life moving forward," she explained. "I'll be spending more time on projects with my husband and visiting with my grandbabies and am looking forward to this new era."
She added, "I'd like to take a moment, in advance, to thank all my fans over this last three quarters of a century for making a little girl's dream come true and supporting her every step of the way. I am immensely grateful to all of you and send my eternal love back to you. I hope to see your smiling faces out and about and on the road. God bless all of you and hope to see you soon."
Knight’s husband and manager, William McDowell, told TMZ that the singer intends to remain onstage. Although individuals involved with the tour reportedly believe she is "showing symptoms of dementia," McDowell said she has not been medically assessed. He explained that he would call off her remaining concerts if she experiences a "rough night" at her next appearance on September 5.
In 2025, Knight’s son, Shanga Hankerson, alleged that McDowell was forcing his mother to continue working while subjecting her to "emotional and financial abuse." Knight rejected those accusations.
