    That's all the music news we have for you for another day.

    Scroll down for Taylor's cyborg suit, Liam's big gig and Katy crashing a wedding, as well as Stormzy's latest award nomination and the return of Franz Ferdinand.

    Plus see what you think of Kanye's new sneakers. Though they might cost you...

    Before we go, it's Drake's 31st birthday today, so we'll leave you with him and Rihanna 'performing' together on these shores at last year's Brit Awards.

    All the best Drizzy and see you all tomorrow.

    Last but not least today, one final new music video for you all.

    Incendiary Manc rockers Cabbage have released a new 'live' one today for the Skeleton Key mix of their track Kevin.

    Live in the sense that they managed to persuade their heroes and legendary local buskers The Piccadilly Rats to let them join in with their regular outdoor Manchester city centre jam.

    Wonder how much they made? See the results above.

    The band released a collection of their early EPs, called Young, Dumb and Full of...in January and a series of new singles since, but at least one of us thinks it's about time we had an actual Cabbage album in our collections.

    Piano man Billy Joel and his wife Alexis have announced the birth of their new baby daughter Remy Anne Joel.

    Billy, 68 and Alexis, 35, welcomed their second daughter (Billy's third child) on Sunday but the hit songwriter has today posted this pic of him alongside his latest little pal at the New York University Hospital, where she was born.

    Our NYC geography is not good enough to know whether this officially makes her an uptown girl or not but we'll have a look on the map now.

    It's true. There's simply no denying it.

    After teasing us yesterday, Camila has at last dropped the full length mini-drama that is the video for her smash hit track Havana.

    It sees the former Fifth Harmony singer, who performed the track at the Teen Awards on Sunday, play the twin roles of a telenovela star and a super-fan as their two lives intertwine.

    And it all kicks off in fairly raunchy carry on style too.

    Check it out below.

    After The National's stripper and Taylor's sexy cyborg suit (scroll down) we really ought to clean up our act in tomorrow's MNL. Enjoy it while it lasts.

    Are these guys future Glasto headliners?

    I'll Still Destroy You is taken from the Ohio band's UK number one selling album Sleep Well Beast.

    The video stars a paunchy, ginger bearded male stripper spinning his nipple tastles and dancing around a pole, while the band plays on.

    Finally some equality in the work place.

    Check it out above.

    ...26-30 June. That's according to their official site, external.

    The following year (that's 2020 btw), will see the famous festival mark it's 50th birthday celebration.

    Co-organisers Michael and daughter Emily Eavis are then set to launch a spin-off festival The Variety Bazaar, away from the usual site, in 2021.

    It's all part of a week celebrating the 50th Piano Session and tonight, its the Queens Of The Stone Age swapping guitars for keys with US rapper Joey Badass and grime star Dave due to play a special duet tomorrow.

    Surely worth a listen over your tripe sandwiches today?

    George MichaelImage source, PA

    George Michael is on course to top the UK album chart this Friday, 10 months after his death.

    Listen Without Prejudice Vol 1 spent a week at number one when it was originally released in 1990. It has now been reissued with a bonus disc including the singer's 1996 MTV Unplugged session.

    It leads this week's album chart race, outselling Niall Horan's solo debut by almost 25,000 copies after three days, the Official Charts Company said.

    Some fans "wept like a baby" last week at the Channel 4 documentary about the late singer.

  12. New Franz Ferdinand music due tomorrow?published at 12:19 BST 24 October 2017

    Franz FerdinandImage source, Getty Images

    We sincerely hope so.

    We can't be 100% sure yet but the Glasgow art-rockers have teased that something is happening tomorrow, alongside an ascending synth noise and a groovy drum fill.

    It could just be the teaser for a trailer though. In 2017 anything is possible.

    The band's last album Right Thoughts, Right Words, Right Action came out in 2013 and Alex Kapranos (above) and the lads have since recorded and toured, alongside 70s LA pop rockers Sparks, under the name FFS.

    Now it seems FF (minus the S) are back.

    OMG.

  14. Kanye West's online mag previews his new clothes rangepublished at 11:36 BST 24 October 2017

    Knaye WestImage source, Reuters

    One for all you musical fashionistas out there.

    We haven't heard anything from Kanye for a while, musically speaking. The rapper scrapped the end of his Saint Pablo tour last year before spending time in hospital with exhaustion and re-emerged only to meet and greet the new US President.

    Last month, his wife Kim Kardashian-West 'confirmed' they are to have a third child, which has left Kanye just enough time to focus on his latest clothing range.

    A new online mag - or zine - showcasing pictures of the 40-year-old's second 'Calabasas collection', has been posted online in Dazed.

    It includes the Yeezy 700 Wave Runners. Which is either the name of a new pair of trainers or a good suggestion for what to call his next backing band.

  15. Liam Gallagher to host London gig in Finsbury Park next summerpublished at 11:01 BST 24 October 2017

    Liam GallagherImage source, Reuters

    He teased us with an announcement yesterday, now Liam has confirmed that he will ride the wave of his number one debut solo album As You Were by hosting a mini festival of sorts next summer in London.

    It's not until Friday 29 June 2018, but tickets are on sale on Friday.

    The 45-year-old frontman tweeted: "So excited. All are welcome, LG does not discriminate..."

    Apparently there will be many more artists announced across two stages. So members of Manc bands like Blossoms, Cabbage and The Courteeners should probably keep their phones on.

    Elsewhere in a typically bizzare interview, the Mancunian singer told The Sunday Mirror, external exactly why he's "definitely moving to Paris " in the next five years.

    “I will rock a beret easy...I’ll rock the onions as well and a stripy thing and a wonky bike with a baguette on my arm. I’ll rock that.”

    “We love it and [girlfriend and manager] Debbie speaks French so she can do all the ordering."

    Probably wise. "Viva la France" was all he could muster at a festival in his new spiritual home this summer.

    Nope, it's not a plot twist in the forthcoming sequel to the Vince Vaughan comedy.

    This actually happened at real wedding in the States on Saturday night.

    KP, who was herself breifly married to Essex comedian-turned-philosopher Russell Brand, rocked up at the Four Season Hotel in St Louis, Missouri, ahead of her Witness tour gig in the city the following day.

    TMZ report that after hearing the fun going on, Katy asked bride and groom Blonie Dudney and Hayley Rosenblum (above) if it was okay for her and her 30-40 strong crew to crash the party.

    As you can see they were made most welcome and reportedly hung around for roughly 15 minutes. That leaves time for a bit of Chic, classic Dexys, a Frank Sinatra number, quick bite at the buffet and then out of there.

    Certainly one for Dudneys/Rosenblums to tell the grandkids.

    Morning all and welcome back to Music News LIVE.

    What will today bring?

    Katy Perry surprises a couple of newlyweds, George Michael could be heading for posthumous number one, Dizzee Rascal, Stormzy and Wretch 32 are in the running at the Urban Music Awards and Franz Ferdinand tease their first new music in nearly five years.

    Plus there's a big announcement from Liam Gallagher and we'll sneak a peak at Kanye's new magazine.
