Mumford & Sons have collaborated with Pharrell on a new single, “Good People,” which marks the British rock band’s first new music since 2019. The group debuted the uplifting song yesterday during Pharrell’s Louis Vuitton menswear autumn/winter runway show at Paris Fashion Week.
Mumford & Sons — Marcus Mumford, Ben Lovett, and Ted Dwane — recorded the song with Pharrell in New York and Paris. They enlisted Native Vocalists, a six-piece vocal choir from the U.S. and Canada hailing from Native American Tribes within the Northern Great Plains, to feature on the track.

British band Mumford & Sons has one of the most recognizable sounds in the music industry. The band’s folksy beats have earned acclaim from music critics and fans alike – and much of the credit for the group’s signature sound goes to Marcus Mumford, who sings lead vocals for the group. Mumford, who also plays electric guitar, acoustic guitar, and drums, is a very successful musician with several awards and accolades to his credit. Despite his many accomplishments, Mumford lives a low-key life when he isn’t performing, spending most of his time with his wife, actor Carey Mulligan, and their children. So, how much is Mumford’s net worth?
What is Marcus Mumford best known for?
How has it been 10 years? Feels in equal parts such a long time and also not when you consider just how much has happened. Making this album felt like a continuation of Sigh No More,...

A founding member of the English folk rock act Mumford & Sons said today in a Medium post that he’s leaving the band in order to avoid tainting them with his personal political opinions.
Winston Marshall created a firestorm on social media in March when he tweeted support for journalist Andy Ngo’s book Unmasked: Inside Antifa’s Radical Plan to Destroy Democracy, which examines the radical leftist group’s history and tactics.
The guitarist and banjo player subsequently took a brief break from the band in March. Although he says his group had “invited me to continue with them,” he has now decided to leave so that he could “speak freely without them suffering the consequences.”
Marshall insisted that he was not endorsing the far right by praising Ngo’s book, saying, “Nothing could be further from the truth. I condemn unequivocally all political extremism, be it of the Right or Left.

Mumford & Sons’ Winston Marshall announced Tuesday that he would step away from the band days after the banjoist faced criticism for praising a book authored by Andy Ngo, a right-wing provocateur who condemned Antifa.
“Over the past few days, I have come to better understand the pain caused by the book I endorsed,” Marshall tweeted. “I have offended not only a lot of people I don’t know but also those closest to me, including my bandmates and for that, I am truly sorry. As a result of my actions...

During Mumford & Sons’ 13 years as a band, Marcus Mumford has rarely done extensive solo sit-down interviews. He likes his band to operate as a democracy writing songs, and doing interviews, together. But Mumford made an exception for our video series, “The Rolling Stone Interview,” which has recently included far-reaching conversations with Sheryl Crow, the Black Keys, and Chris Martin. Laid-back and reflective in his studio, Mumford traces how he formed one of the biggest bands in the world, all while only using acoustic instruments.

In honor of the chart-topping rock band performing on “Jimmy Kimmel Live” on Wednesday, the late-night host created a mockumentary about their former group, Mumtown, responsible for hit songs you’ve never heard, like “Girl, I’m Saying Girl, Girl” and “O.M.G.U.H.O.T.” Kimmel’s nickname was “Mum,” and Mumford & Sons members Marcus Mumford, Ben Lovett, Winston Marshall and Ted Dwane all make appearances to explain how the comedian got it: He never sang.

From the opening moments after host Taraji P.

Mumford & Sons just performed its last show for the foreseeable future. The folk band announced its plans to go on an indefinite hiatus after performing its final tour date on Sept. 20 in Bonner Springs, Kans.
"There won't be any Mumford & Sons activities for the foreseeable future following Friday's show," keyboardist Ben Lovett tells Rolling Stone. "We have no idea [when we'll start up again]. We just know we're going to take a considerable amount of time off and just go back to hanging out and having no commitments or pressure or anything like that."
During Mumford & Sons' rise to fame, the band won several Grammys, but also faced down a health scare with bassist Ted Dwane. It's been an eventful past year for sure, and Lovett seems happy to be taking the time off.

Showing off their creative prowess, the boys in Mumford & Sons brought in a few friends for their new music video for “Hopeless Wanderer.”
The “I Will Wait” hitmakers replaced themselves with Jason Bateman, Jason Sudeikis, Ed Helms and Will Forte, and the whole ordeal comes off flawlessly.
As they announced the video, Mumford and Sons tweeted, “We are delighted to present you the new video for the song Hopeless Wanderer, featuring Mumf… oh wait…”
And after the whole Ted Dwane brain surgery ordeal earlier this year, it’s good to see the rootsy rockers still have their sense of humor.

The clip for Mumford & Sons' latest single off the 2012 album "Babel" features the four funnymen as arch versions of Marcus Mumford (Sudeikis), Ted Dwane (Forte), Winston Marshall (Bateman) and Ben Lovett (Helms). It's pretty much perfect, if only for Helms' entire existence (check the photo below for an example). Not that anyone should be surprised to find out that the Nard Dog likes Mumford.

Chicago — Women are preparing to rock this year's Lollapalooza music festival.
The more than two-decade-old festival opens Friday in Chicago's lakefront Grant Park with a strong female lineup, building on headlining appearances in recent years by Lady Gaga, Florence and the Machine and Neko Case.
Lana Del Rey and Cat Power will each close one of Lollapalooza's eight stages over the three-day event this year. Rapper Azealia Banks was scheduled to close a stage, too, but she canceled her appearance on Thursday. Women factor into more than 20 percent of acts scheduled to perform.
Sara Quin, of festival mainstays Tegan and Sara, says the Lollapalooza lineup reflects a growing diversity at festivals.
"Hopefully things will continue to diversify," she said. "I always love seeing female headliners."
Lollapalooza founder Perry Farrell of Jane's Addiction says the festival is lucky to have so many female acts on this year's bill.

He’s been recovering from emergency brain surgery as of late, but last night (June 30) Ted Dwane was back in action with the rest of his Mumford & Sons mates.
The bearded bass player told press that he wouldn’t have missed the huge UK gig for the world, and was glad to be playing again.
"The last few weeks have been a bit weird and we had to cancel a couple of shows at the end of our last U.S. tour."
"I've come here a couple of times when the festival isn’t here and stood under the Pyramid Stage with my mate and imagined what it would be like. So, the fact that we are getting to do it is all I've been thinking about right now."
During “Awake My Soul,” lead singer Marcus Mumford addressed the crowd- “We have danced together, we have celebrated the fact that Ted is alive together.

London — Mumford & Sons are bringing the Glastonbury Festival to a close Sunday, with many music fans still on a high from the Rolling Stones' first-ever gig at Britain's leading music extravaganza.

"It's the whole razzmatazz of the occasion – the two of us finally getting together at long last," said Eavis.

If he weren’t already the good guy after filling infor M&S, who dropped out due to Ted Dwane’s emergency surgery, Johnson will earn even more karma points with the tour because he is donating 100% of the profits to charity (as he has since 2008). The outing, which is in support of his sixth studio album, “From Here To Now To You,” out Sept. 17, starts in Europe Sept. 5 and kicks off the U.S. portion Sept. 22 in...

Mumford & Sons' bassist Ted Dwane underwent surgery this week and is thanking fans for their support.
The musician received surgery to remove a blood clot from the surface of his brain. Dwane's emergency procedure prompted the band to cancel some major shows, including a scheduled headlining performance at Bonnaroo.

Jack Johnson will be the new Saturday night headliner for attendees of this weekend's Bonnaroo Music & Arts Festival. This news comes after it was revealed Mumford & Sons cancelled all scheduled appearances -- including Bonnaroo -- after bassist Ted Dwane had a successful brain surgery.
"I called my band and asked if they were up for it," Johnson says in a statement. "Long story short -- they are headed this way. I've got a lot of lyrics and chords to relearn by Saturday night. I was here to play the first Bonnaroo, and it is a very special festival to my band. We are excited to hit the stage again. Get well Ted!"

Ted Dwane, the bassist for popular English band Mumford & Sons, has been released from the hospital following a successful surgery to remove a blood clot from his brain.
"It is with great joy that we can announce that Ted has been discharged from the hospital and is on the road to a full recovery. The surgery went well, and the excellent medical team helping him are very pleased with his progress," the band writes on its Facebook page.
"He has been nothing short of heroic in how he has handled the whole ordeal, and now it is medically proved that he does indeed have a brain," the band adds.
Dwane was hospitalized on June 11, causing the band to have to cancel shows in Texas and Louisiana throughout the week.
Based on doctor recommendations, the band has now canceled the remainder of its Summer Stampede Tour, including performances at the annual Bonnaroo Music Festival in Tennessee.
