"60 MINUTES" LISTINGS FOR SUNDAY, JUNE 26, FEATURING A SPECIAL HOUR OF MUSIC

"60 Minutes" Listings for Sunday, June 26 - 7:00-8:00 PM, ET/PT

TARGETING AMERICANS - For the past six years, U.S. diplomats stationed in foreign countries have been reporting a series of neurological symptoms, now known as "Havana Syndrome." Scott Pelley reveals new reports of incidents that have occurred on U.S. soil, in a two-part story airing Sunday. High-ranking Homeland Security officials in the Trump administration say they were overcome with feelings of vertigo confusion, and memory loss while on White House grounds and in their Washington, D.C.-area homes. The incidents and symptoms they describe are similar to the "Havana Syndrome" that has been reported by American diplomats in foreign countries since 2016. The officials spoke to Pelley for Sunday's report. Other stories of officials being stricken were corroborated by former national security adviser John Bolton, who fears there is a threat to the highest levels of the U.S. government. New CIA director William Burns tells Pelley why it has been difficult finding answers. Michael Rey and Oriana Zill de Granados are the producers.

TAKE THE FIGHT TO THE NIGHT - California firefighters battling some of the worst wildfires in state history have a new weapon: a fleet of high-tech helicopters - including the heavy-duty chinook that carries 10 times the water other helicopters can - that are able to fight the blazes at night. "A game changer," says one fire chief. Bill Whitaker reports. Heather Abbott is the producer.

"60 Minutes Presents: An Hour of Music" - 8:00-9:00 PM, ET/PT

THE FINAL ACT - Tony Bennett has Alzheimer's disease. It's taken a toll on his memory, and the 95-year-old singer has trouble holding a conversation. But when the music comes on, the legendary crooner can break through the fog to find his voice again. Anderson Cooper and 60 MINUTES cameras were at what would likely be his final performance, with Lady Gaga at his side. Nichole Marks is the producer.

THE GET BACK SESSIONS - Rock music's greatest divorce, the breakup of the Beatles in 1970, was always associated with the film and album "Let It Be." Half a century later, dozens of hours of that film left on the cutting room floor are telling a different story. 60 MINUTES reveals an intimacy and creative bond between the four musicians that belies the long-held narrative. Jon Wertheim reports. Michael Gavshon and Nadim Roberts are the producers.

CHRIS STAPLETON - His contemporaries will tell you he's among the best that country music has these days. Kentucky-bred Chris Stapleton is a triple-threat: a powerfully gifted singer, prolific songwriter and skilled guitar player. His talents have connected with music fans across generations and genres. Sharyn Alfonsi traveled to Nashville, where Stapleton performed at the Bridgestone Arena and showed 60 MINUTES around town and inside his rehearsal space filled with artifacts and awards. Alfonsi also interviewed Stapleton and his wife and bandmate, Morgane, about their life together and making country music. John Hamlin is the producer.
