The Radiohead frontman has taken to the red carpet in support of the new remake of horror movie Suspiria, for which he has composed the soundtrack.

Speaking at a press conference, he admitted to being intimidated by the original 1977 movie's music, recorded by the director Dario Argento.

"I watched the original film several times, and I loved it because it was of that time, an incredibly intense soundtrack.

“It was one of those moments in your life where you want to run away but you know you’ll regret it if you do.”

Of his new score, Tom said:“There’s a way of repeating in music that can hypnotise. I kept thinking to myself that it’s a form of making spells.

“So when I was working in my studio I was making spells. I know it sounds really stupid, but that’s how I was thinking about it. It was a sort of freedom I’ve not had before."

He shared a snipped of the score on social media below.

Dan Reynolds, the singer from Imagine Dragons (pictured above), has taken a stand on the track The Fall from Eminem's surprise album Kamikaze, which he released on Friday.

The Fall sees Em, in full Slim Shady flow, hurl a homophobic slur (albeit self-edited) at Tyler, the Creator.

Writing on Twitter, Dan said: "It’s never ok to say a word that is filled with hate.

"I don’t care what year you were born in or what meaning it has to you. If it contributes to hate and bigotry then it is hateful. Period."

Meanwhile, Bon Iver singer Justin Vernon - who performs vocals on the actual track - has also distanced himself from it, tweeting that he had asked Em to change the language.

In another tweet, he added: We are gonn kill this track"

Nope.

"I've seen a great doctor," the singer said in a statement, adding that he was "happy and relieved that anything serious has been ruled out".

Well, jaw in the interest of 100% accurate reporting.

The Migos rapper has paid tribute to his child with fellow rapper Cardi B with a new face tatt bearing her name Kulture.

It might not be to everyone's taste but we're sure that when she is old enough to read, she will appreciate it.

And a full beard is always an option.

For years, it has been the subject of conjecture - did the King of Pop really voice the character of Leon Kompowsky in the the season three premiere, Stark Raving Dad.

The episode followed Homer as he was sent to a mental health institution and made friends with a white (well, yellow) bricklayer who claimed he was actually MJ.

It also features a scene of the character and Bart singing a birthday song to Lisa.

Jacko isn't credited and there has been much speculation about whether it was recorded by a vocal impersonator. Now creator Matt Groening has put the issue to bed once and for all (above).

The former REM frontman has said he is leaving social media, as "it's definitely changing the way we approach each other and the way we approach problems".

The singer has been to speaking to Newsnight about his online habits and has said the US President Donald Trump's enthusiastic tweeting is at least party responsible for a self-imposed social media exile, calling it "repellent and diminishing”.

“Politics has been shaped by it, certainly in my country. We have a commander-in-chief who, rather than doing face-to-face interviews like this, would rather just tweet, which I find repellent and diminishing.”

“I’m leaving Instagram this week in fact, I’ve had enough of it,” he continued.

“I think that we deserve better and I feel like there might be a more generous platform to come along if enough people followed in my footsteps.

"I have never been on Facebook, I have no interest in that and as a public figure, I think it’s not really a thing that I would do anyway…I don’t like being tracked and followed, I don’t like the idea that they’re keeping track of how I look at things and how much time I spend looking at things.”

Many people on social media noticed Ariana's discomfort during the awkward exchange.

"When you're doing a program for nine hours, you try to keep it lively, you try to insert some jokes here and there."

He added: "It would never be my intention to touch any woman's breast... I don't know; I guess I put my arm around her,"

"Maybe I crossed the border, maybe I was too friendly or familiar, but again, I apologise."

Ariana has not commented on his apology.
