Rick Rubin has been making waves across multiple projects in recent weeks, demonstrating his continued influence as one of music's most legendary producers. The iconic producer recently reconnected with The Cult's Ian Astbury for a deeply emotional reunion and podcast conversation that brought both artists to tears. According to Vanyaland, when the two saw each other after years apart, the meeting was particularly meaningful given their history together on The Cult's groundbreaking 1987 album Electric, which was essentially the first real record Rubin ever produced. Astbury revealed during the conversation that he would work with Rubin again in a heartbeat and is now actively thinking about what project he could present to entice the legendary producer back into the studio together.

The Grammy Museum is also honoring Rubin's legacy with a special screening event on October 20th celebrating Tom Petty's 75th birthday.

The film includes present day interviews with Rubin and offers an intimate look at the creative process during their groundbreaking partnership in the mid 1990s.

Additionally, Marcus King recently opened up about his transformative two year collaboration with Rubin on his album Mood Swings. Country Central reports that King credited Rubin with helping him abandon the idea of music as commerce and focus purely on creating art that heals, describing the process as bringing him back to making music for himself rather than crowd pleasers.
