"Recording sessions for these were some of the most special and bizarre," Antonoff said, also teasing that he would share "stories one day."

On June 4th, Ross will co-headline the Queen’s Platinum Jubilee concert at Buckingham Palace, marking 70 years that Queen Elizabeth II has been on the throne.
