That's all we have for you today but there is so much if you care to scroll down.

The ten artists longlisted for the BBC Sound of 2019, Neil Young slams his UK show's sponsors, Lindsey Buckingham has reached an agreement with his former Fleetwood Mac bandmates, Beyonce performs at a wedding, plus an emotional new video from Professor Green.

We'll leave you with poor Mel B whose done herself a mischief, breaking her ribs and suffering "a severed right hand".

No suggestion that it's going to affect the Spice Girls shows next year though it may put rehearsals on delay.

Slice up your life indeed.

The BBC today revealed the names of the ten artists they expect to be making waves next year (scroll down for the full list).

Throughout 2018, here on Music News LIVE we've endeavoured to bring you some of our favourite new bands and artists with our regular Newbie Tuesday series - back tomorrow.

With that in mind here's the brand new video from our Newbie Tuesday #6, The Modern Strangers.

Last we heard, Max and Archie Davenport et al were being scientifically approved for pop stardom. Now the visuals for their disco-tinged track, Red Strip Lights, finds them grooving silhouetted by a suitably blood red background.

The lads are on a short UK tour in February.

BBC Newsbeat

Singer-songwriter Dodie is known to her 1.7 million subscribers as doddleoddle.

The 23-year-old lives with depersonalisation disorder, external (DPD) and talks openly about it in her regular online posts.

"Sometimes it feels likes I'm not real or dreaming and it's caused me to have depression and all sorts of nasty things," she says.

The mental health condition can leave people feeling spaced out and disconnected.

Newsbeat's Steve Holden has been speaking to her.

They lead a list of artists announced for next summer's event at Dorset’s Lulworth Castle from 25-28 July.

Also on the line-up for Bestival's sister festival are Sister Sledge, Goldie, Ash, Grandmaster Flash and Scots stars Lewis Capaldi and Nina Nesbitt.

See the full line up, external so far.

It follows serious financial problems and this year's event being scrapped halfway through due to heavy rain and high winds.

Recent documents showed Bestival LTD, owed this year's headliners London Grammar £175,000.

The singer, who has been beset with eyes problems and tinnitus in recent years has shared an exclusive taster of some new music new he's been working on, including a song called Cleopatra.

The band's last album Crimson/Red was a top 15 hit in 2013 and features Paddy playing most of the instruments himself.

He basically took on Dave Grohl's play challenge, early.

Listen above to his new material.

Rapper Husky and electronica group IC3PEAK - whose videos have gained millions of views - have recently had concerts cancelled without a clear explanation.

IC3PEAK told the BBC this is part of a bigger covert cultural war against art that's popular with the Russian youth.

BBC Monitoring looks at the ways Russian musicians were targeted and how people have reacted.

Watch above.

The singer tweeted the news today, explaining that she is just too darn busy, what with two sons at home, a solo album coming out and the little matter of the Spice Girls reunion.

Emma will continue to present her Sunday evening show on the station though.

Foo Fighters frontman Dave Grohl performed the bespoke 23-minute track at Warren Haynes’ 2018 Christmas Jam in Ashevill.

Play was recorded by Dave on his own for a documentary encouraging fans to take up musical instruments and this was its first live outing.

Obviously he couldn't play all seven instruments himself live so he recruited some of his talented (and famous) friends, including members of his side project Them Crooked Vultures and Jane’s Addiction, as well as songwriter to the stars Greg Kurstin (Liam Gallagher, Adele).

How could you possibly say no to the nicest man in rock?

Just look at that smile above.

The Jamaican reggae star has returned to his home island after being released from prison in the United States.

He served seven years in jail in Georgia after being convicted of intent to supply cocaine.

His return has long been eagerly awaited in his native land but he remains a deeply divisive figure, partly because of the content of his music and lyrics.

His song Boom Bye Bye, which encouraged the killing of gay people, made him notorious and prompted an international campaign known as Stop Murder Music.

He has since pledged not to incite hatred or violence in future songs.

In a statement on Twitter, his team said he was "humbled and filled with gratitude" for his supporters.

It added he was "no plans for public appearances".

The list of ten artists nominated for the BBC Sound of 2019 was released a few hours ago and so they've had some time to react on social media.

Grace Carter (above) was so surprised at her nomination that she let out a small but very real swearword on her Twitter account.

But she added: "CANNOT BELIEVE IT!! I've been included on the BBC #SoundOf2019, external longlist!!! What a lovely way to end the year, thank you @BBCR1, external! I can’t get my head around all of this madness."

Below, indie band Sea Girls and Dermot Kennedy added their own thoughts.

Get to know some of these names people, you're going to be hearing them a fair bit we imagine.

BBC Radio 4

The Take That singer was the latest pop star stranded on the metaphorical Desert Island this weekend.

In case you've been living under a rock and have never heard the show before, they basically get him to talk about his life and select some of his favourite songs.

As well as picking tracks by Sir Elton John, Depeche Mode and Rick Astley, Barlow took the opportunity to open up about the death of his daughter, declaring “men don’t talk about these things”.

Barlow's daughter Poppy was stillborn in 2012, days before Take That were booked to perform at the London Olympics closing ceremony.

“For anyone who’s been through anything like this," he told host Lauren Laverne, "I think it’s something you accept that you’re going to be dealing with for the rest of your life.

You can listen back to the interview now, in which he also discusses his meeting with Prince (above) and addresses his eating disorder and the tax avoidance scandal he found himself embroiled in back in 2014.

“Awful, really awful," he said.

“I take full responsibility for that.

“You try and do these things under the guidance of other people. I don’t know a thing about accounts. I never want to. It’s of no interest to me.”

As for the songs selected, we were as shocked as anyone to discover the name of the artist who inspired Take That's songwriter-in-chief...

Sir Edward Elgar - aka the bloke on the ten pound note.

Now, we're not saying that the older gentleman has no place on a skateboard.

Tony Hawk is 50 after all. Tony Alva is 61.

But at the age of 41, rapper Kanye West has been getting taught how to do an 'Ollie.'

He almost manages it first time, even if he almost ends up flat on his back.,

For now at least Jesus Walks... and so does Kanye.

The New York rapper last week officially announced she had separated from her baby daddy Offset from Atlanta rap trio Migos.

At the time, she claimed she was "always gonna have a lot of love" for her fellow hip hop star, as they raise daughter Kulture together.

However, performing for the first time since the split at NYC’s Jingle Ball over the weekend, Cardi altered the lyrics of their collab Motorsport to send him a thinly-veiled message.

I get up set off / I turn Offset on / I told him the other day / Yeah, we gon’ get a divorce

Offset later tweeted "I miss Cardi."

Well, you don't know what you've got 'til it's gone.

Migos have withdrawn from their headline set at the Bay Dreams festival in New Zealand in January, while Cardi is still scheduled to appear.

The US singer, who had one of the albums of the year, will play Wembley Arena on 2 July before heading up the M40/M6 to Manchester to open the annual Manchester International Festival.

Tickets for both are on sale on Friday.

Her record Dirty Computer was given a Grammy nomination for album of the year on Friday, up against Drake, Cardi B and H.E.R, as well as Post Malone, Kacey Musgraves, Brandi Carlile and Kendrick Lamar.

Reacting to the nomination (above), Janelle said: "It's bigger than me. It's about a community of dirty computers, as a black, queer woman in America, there was a group of people I want to celebrate."

His debut album, As You Were, went to the top of the charts last year and it seems the former Oasis frontman-turned-solo-star is pretty happy with what he's come up with so far for the follow-up.

He tweeted: “I know I talk a lot of [rubbish] but I have oops we have 20 songs that will change your lives oops make them better”.

The 'we' in question is likely to be LG's songwriting partners Greg Kurstin and Andrew Wyatt, who worked on his successful 2017 solo debut.

Speaking on Absolute Radio, Liam previously said the record would be "done by Christmas" and told the NME that it would be "a bit Pistols, a bit Stooges."

Expect loud guitars then.

Will we be hearing these tunes at Worthy Farm next summer though?

That's the question.

The Sun

Speaking to The Sun at Capital FM's Jingle Time Ball at the weekend, the girls came out on the offensive against critics of their revealing stage outfits.

Good Morning Britain host and professional troll Pier Morgans recently hit out at the band after they posed nude for a promo shot for their latest single.

Jesy Nelson from the group said, external: "If you've got nothing nice to say then bore off because we embrace every single bit of our bodies.

"That's what being a woman is about - being confident."

Bandmate Perrie Edwards added: "It's our choice. It's about embracing what you want to embrace."

Jesy added: "We don't care for negative Nancies."

The ladies also performed at the Strictly Come Dancing semi-final on Sunday night (above).

It's a 10 from us.

You may want to keep a tissue handy for this one.

The rapper and documentary maker has shared the video for his duet with Rag N' Bone Man, inspired by the few photos he has of his late father, who killed himself several years ago.

He called on fans to share photographs of loved ones they had lost and the stories behind them with an accompanying hashtag #wishthatitookmorephotographsofus.

He got an overwhelming response on Twitter and some of the people who shared their stories have made it in into the video.

Now, Pro - whose real name is Stephen Manderson - has helped launch a petition on Change.org calling on the government to mark a National Grief Awareness Day - to help educate people about dealing with grief.

Trying to find just the right wedding band is the challenge for most couples.

But it's significantly less troublesome if you are the daughter of India's richest man - then you can probably get a good deal on a halfway decent singer.

Like Beyoncé.

The US megastar performed as part of the lavish festivities at the wedding of Isha Ambani, whose dad is business tycoon Mukesh Ambani.

She married Anand Piramal, the son of another Indian billionaire, this week.

The actual wedding is on Wednesday but the festivities leading up to it kicked off over the weekend.

Beyoncé was one of many celebrities flown in, along with Bollywood stars and guests like Hillary Clinton.

Players only love you when you're paying...

The Mac's former singer/guitarist has come to an agreement with his ex bandmdates regarding his dismissal earlier this year.

"I’m happy enough with it," he told the CBS This Morning programme (above).

"I’m not out there trying to twist the knife at all."

Buckingham lost his job in January and was replaced by Mike Campbell from Tom Petty & The Heartbreakers and Crowded House's Neil Finn.

The legal case alleged a breach of oral contract, among other charges. It was all settled a few weeks back apparently and now Buckingham is taking the high road.

"I’m trying to look at this with some level of compassion," he added, "some level of wisdom.”

He went on to say that he hadn't spoken to any of the band in person since the split but that Christine McVie - who he released a album of duets with last year - had reached out.

"I have gotten an email, which I expected to get, from Christine McVie,” he said.

"She said, ‘I believe deep in Stevie’s heart that she would like you to come home.'"

Never say never, we guess.

Buckingham released his Solo Anthology album in October.

The Canadian rocker and famed eco warrior has apologised to fans after belatedly realising that his London gig alongside Bob Dylan next summer is sponsored by what he describes as "fossil fuel funding entity” Barclays.

The concert on 12 July 2019, which forms part of Hyde Park's British Summer Time series, was announced two weeks ago but Young has accused the organisers of "jumping the gun".

In a post on his Neil Young Archives website, external, the Heart of Gold singer wrote: “I had no idea the announcement was coming that day,

“I was still finessing the art for the poster and trying to make sure that all of the details of the show were agreeable to me.

"Then, suddenly, someone jumped the gun. The tickets were put on sale and the announcement was made, all without my knowledge.”

The 73-year-old - who played the original Woodstock Festival in 1969, alongside Crosby, Stills and Nash - recently had a pop at US president Donald Trump for denying climate change, after he lost his home to the California wildfires.

Regarding the sponsorship of his upcoming gig he added: “That doesn’t work for me.

“At the moment, we are trying to rectify the situation and will soon update you on the status of the Hyde Park show.

“We have been talking about requiring a different sponsor as one option. We are quite confident that nothing like this will ever happen again. We’re sorry for this situation - it is - and shall remain an anomaly.”

Music News LIVE has asked British Summer Time to comment.
