Justin what do you mean, external with this new look?

MJ, who died in 2009, holds his place at the top of business experts Forbes' list for another year, after raking in around $400m (£310m) over the past 12 months.

A large chunk of the cash comes from Sony's recent acquisition of his estate’s stake in EMI Music Publishing for an eye-watering $287m (£223m).

It sees The King of Pop hold off The King, Elvis Presley, in second with a mere $40m ($31m) to show for this year.

The bulk of Elvis' posthumous fortune comes from selling tickets to his home in Graceland and a new $45m (£35m) entertainment complex called Elvis Presley’s Memphis.

Bob Marley sits in fifth having made $23m (£18m) this year and Playboy founder Hugh Hefner, who became eligible for the list in 2017, is straight in at number seven with an after-death haul of $15m (£12m).

And you can apparently tell that from the length of his beard.

Not that we should be expecting some new psych-hippie rock direction - it's just that he hasn't had time to visit the barbers for a trim.

"I've been quiet recently but do you know why - I've been locked in the studio," Stormzy told BBC Newsbeat.

"To me, music is a soul-bearing process. So when I create an album or any piece of music I put every bit of strength inside my body into it.

"When I'm ready to release the music that's when you'll see the haircut and beard shaped-up."
