We're leaving - whether you like it or not.

Be safe out there. Or safer still, just stay right where you are and simply scroll down for news of Kanye/Kim's 'Family Feud', Ed Sheeran's documentary receiving a critical panning and Stormzy showing an interest in the planned Stephen Lawrence memorial.

Plus The Rolling Stones start up their first UK tour since 2006, a 13-year-old guitar wizard dazzles at the Winter Olympics closing party and Drake's new video gets its budget slashed on Jimmy Kimmel.

All that and much more besides.

Play it cool now if it's snowing where you are folks, just like the dude in Bruno Mars' favourite gif above.

See you tomorrow with another Newbie Tuesday act for you to get your ears around.

If any of you caught Nick Cave and the Bad Seed's 2017 tour then you will know it was quite something to behold.

Just ask Bobby Gillespie of Primal Scream (above), who found himself in the thick of it at the end of the London leg.

If you didn't (or even if you did), fear not, as you'll get the chance again on 12 April when cinemas worldwide - for one day only - will be broadcasting the Danish stop on the tour.

Distant Sky was filmed at Copenhagen’s Royal Arena in October and you can check out the trailer below.

The Aussie actress and not-so secret metalhead was the latest star to be admitted to Doctor Nick Grimshaw's Radio 1 ward (above) for a heart rate check-up.

The hungover I, Tonya star - who is nominated for an Oscar this Sunday - told Grimmy all about her love of heavy metal.

"When I was younger, I was really into Metallica. I went to a Slipknot concert when I was younger.

"I was into Thrice, Bullet For My Valentine".

Little did poor Margot know what was about to happen next.

Watch above from about a six minutes in, and if you're a pal of Margot's get your Slipknot plus one requests in early.

Pop star and activist Katy Perry made a surprise appearance at a local fundraiser to raise money for the survivors of the Californian mudslide in Montecito, and those who helped them at the scene.

At least 20 people are believed to have been killed following flash floods and mudslides that hit Santa Barbara County in California in early January.

Sunday's benefit concert took place on a private estate close to the devastated area.

Perry, who grew up in nearby Goleta, turned up unannounced, performing three tracks - to the delight of fans attending the One 805 Kick Ash Bash.

The singer dedicated her hit Firework to Lauren Cantin, 14, who was pulled from the wreckage of her home on 9 January; her 17-year-old brother Jack is still missing.

Perry told CNN, external, her heart was broken by the tragedy: "I'll do anything to help this community."

Montecito resident Ellen DeGeneres also appeared at the event: "The news has moved on, but we have not moved on," she told the crowd.

The event is understood to have raised about $2 million.

The days of male-dominated music festivals could be drawing to a close, after 45 events pledged to achieve a 50/50 gender balance by 2022.

The BBC Proms, Brighton's Great Escape and Liverpool Sound City are among the organisations who have signed up to the initiative.

It is supported by Garbage star Shirley Manson, who recently called the music industry's lack of equality "insane".

Last year 80% of festival headliners were male, a BBC study discovered.

The All About That Bass singer endured two bouts of vocal chord surgery in 2016/2017, but has since made a good recovery and even bagged herself a husband-to-be.

We hope you enjoyed the games in Pyeongchang.

Now that they're over, don't worry, in the current weather conditions, a trip to the shop is about to become an Olympic effort all of its own.

The Korean closing ceremony included sets from Dutch DJ Martin Garrix and K-Pop bands CL and EXO.

But there was snow doubt (sorry) as to who was the star of the official closing ceremony.

None other than 13-year-old guitarist Yang Tae-Hwan, who kept his cool in the icy temperatures while tackling a bit of Vivaldi's Four Seasons - Brian May-style - as the world looked on.

If classical is not your thing however, then here he is in the studio taking on a bit of Jacko.

Remember the name... and then get him in your band before someone else does.

A quick lunch break has confirmed that 'the beast from the east' has arrived - aka a little bit of snow.

Don't panic people: keep calm and carry on checking Music News LIVE.

One place snow would not be welcome would be at a beach surf music festival.

Luckily, Boardmasters in Cornwall doesn't take place until August but they've just announced a load of new names, including rising star Stefflon Don, Stormzy's pal MNEK and sneaky line-up alterers, The Sherlocks.

He may well want to runaway if he loses to the Kardashian/Jenners (scroll down).

We know we would.

The Chicago rapper's track of the same name, from 2010 album My Beautiful Dark Twisted Fantasy, has been given a whisper-y re-working by Charlotte Gainsbourg for French TV.

You can watch the performance over at Taratata’s website, external but be warned before you do that our Charlotte recites all the swear words that have been edited out in the video for the original above.

He's willing to share his mid-life crisis on stage - opening up about the time he passed out on top of Jack Nicholson - but don't expect a friendly pow-wow at the stage door from Jason Donovan.

The singer, who is currently touring his one-man show, Jason and his Amazing Midlife Crisis, has apologised to fans for being stand-offish on the grounds that he needs to rest his voice.

Shame no one told him that back in 1989.

Yesterday marked what would have been George Harrison's 75th birthday.

The coolest of Beatles died, aged 58, in 2001, following a long battle with cancer.

Sir Paul McCartney took the time this weekend to dig out the above cracking picture of the two, back in the glory days.

“Happy Birthday Georgie. Wonderful memories" he wrote.

The Beatles own Twitter page dug out a few more classic pictures of the late Liverpudlian too.

Only Sirs Paul and Ringo now remain of the fab four; John Lennon was shot dead in New York City in 1980.

The Roundhouse in Camden, London was temporarily evacuated on Saturday night as the Radio 1 DJ brought her AMP Sounds tour to a close.

Gig-goers were all forced to leave the building at around 20:30 GMT after a fire alarm went off.

But it takes more than a fire alarm to stop a gang of determined ravers.

The show must go on, and did, thanks to sets from the likes of Ghetts, Wretch 32, Mabel, Stefflon Don and Years & Years.

And it looks like it was worth the wait, as the host and headline act Disclosure brought out surprise special guest, Sam Smith.

A good selection for near the end of a set due to his expertise in goodbyes.

Mya has called on Lady Marmalade collaborators Pink, Lil' Kim and Christina Aguilera to reunite for a re-recording of the 1974 Patti LaBelle classic.

The foursome recorded their cover version 17 years ago for the Moulin Rouge soundtrack - it went on to grab the number one spot in both the UK and US, selling more than 5.2 million copies.

Perhaps you danced around your room to it.

Speaking on Canadian TV, external, Mya denied any knowledge of long-held rumours of a stand-off between Pink and Christina over who sang which part of the song.

"I don’t remember any cat fights, we just got the job done. And we came to give a show at the end of the day!

"So it was a lot of fun. And I really hope that we can reunite and do the song.”

It got the twitter-sphere thinking - and even merited a name-check for everybody's favourite Bafta-winning bear, Paddington...

It's award ceremonies a gogo right now.

And with the Grammys, Baftas and Brits over for another year, showbiz thoughts turn to this weekend's Oscars ceremony on Sunday night.

Sufjan Stevens is nominated for best original song for Mystery of Love, from the Call Me By My Name soundtrack.

Now, in a last ditch attempt to win over the voters (we're not sure it works like that, to be fair) the singer will perform the track at the ceremony.

Check it out above, but be warned you may see a man's nipples on more than one occasion.

And head to the BBC News Entertainment page on Sunday night from around 23:15 GMT for all the action live, as it happens in LA.

Hands up who knew that Yeezy was a fan of US game show Family Feud?

You can just see him now; feet up on the table, pizza in a box, snuggling up with the missus for a spot of downtime...

Anyway, turns out he's such a big fan that he and the wife - aka Kim Kardashian West - are to appear on the celebrity version of the show, with the Wests going head-to-head with Kanye's in-laws: Khloe Kardashian, Kendall Jenner and matriarch Kris.

Kanye, Kim, his aunt Beverly, and cousins, Jalil Peraza and Ricky Anderson, will join forces and do battle with the Kardashian-Jenners.

Rumours are rife that the normally tight Kardashian-West clan had to split up, after the Hiltons (Paris et al) pulled out of the game show at the last minute, leaving them one family down.

*SPOILER ALERT*

Kim - never slow to social media - has suggested on her Instagram story that their side may have had the upper hand, declaring; "I played Family Feud today so I am not trying to brag but my day was definitely amazing."

Watch below as she confirms that her hubby, who has headlined Glastonbury and be-friended the US President, remember, has "waited his whole life for this"...

You'd never guess though, judging by his face.

Struggling to care? Yep - us too.

Can't wait to see them on Pointless.

Drake celebrated his fifth week at the top of the UK singles charts with latest single God's Plan, after we left you on Friday.

Last week we told you how Drizzy had given away almost $1M (that's ONE MILLION) in the music video for the track, changing people's lives with handouts of generously-sized wads of cash, while shoppers rushed to take the Canadian star up on his offer to buy their entire big shop.

Now in a new parody spoof video, US chat show host Jimmy Kimmel's colleague Guillermo has done the same - but with $100.

Only a few zeros out, but as Jimmy says: "It's not the amount that matters, it's the thought that, I think, counts the most".

Quite right,

Watch below as shoppers are allowed to pick an item of their choice for below a dollar.

Which sadly makes pineapples, priced at $1.99, out of bounds.

'Banal adventures of a bland superstar' - so runs the strapline for the Hollywood Reporter's review of the Ed Sheeran documentary, Songwriter, which premiered at the Berlin Film Festival this weekend.

Directed by Sheeran's cousin - and sometime musical collaborator Murray Cummings, Songwriter looks at the unlikely success of the burnished balladeer.

Critic Stephen Dalton called it "a flaccid, ingratiating, fly-on-the-wall travelogue" that feels like "a big fat missed opportunity".

"He seems a pleasant enough young man, although you might choose to make polite excuses rather than rush to spend time in his company," writes Jonathan Romney in The Guardian, who calls Songwriter an "uncritical and stylistically meat-and-potatoes study".

"The film is arguably a thoroughgoing demystification of the industrial process behind the modern pop song," he concludes. "The end credits reveal it took up to six people to write some of Sheeran’s numbers – and in the case of Galway Girl, a full nine. You have to wonder: is that the best they could come up with?"

Ouch.

Never mind, Ed - you can always console yourself by counting your money.

The London MC apparenlty met with Stephen's mother and campaigner Baroness Doreen Lawrence, after his show-stopping Brits performance last week, to discuss the possibility of performing at a memorial concert to mark 25 years since her son's death.

Eighteen-year-old Stephen was stabbed to death in an unprovoked attack by a gang of white youths while he waited at a bus stop in south-east London on 22 April 1993.

Stephen's mother and campaigner Baroness Doreen Lawrence said she'd be delighted to have the grime star involved.

“Stormzy spoke to me about getting involved. He’s amazing," she told the Daily Mirror., external

The gigs will form part of a final year of campaigning for Doreen, who, after having set up The Stephen Lawrence Trust, external, added; “It’s time to move on."

Stormzy, who won best male and best album at last week's Brit awards, prompted a response from the government following his highly-politicised rap about the handling of the Grenfell Tower fire tragedy.

Earlier in the month we were awash with news of old rockers bowing out of touring; Paul Simon, Elton John and Ozzy Osbourne.

But not the Rolling Stones.

Mick, Keith, Ronnie and Charlie are not quitters and continue to defy gravity by staying upright AND moving their fingers and feet, despite a combined age of 294.

The foursome have announced five live shows in the UK, their first tour here, outside festival appearances and one-off gigs, in 12 years.

Part two of the Stones No Filter tour sees them play two dates in London, as well as gigs in Edinburgh, Cardiff and Manchester's Old Trafford (make that football, not cricket ground).

"There's no stopping us," said Keef.

The UK/Ireland tour kicks off in Dublin's Croke Park on 17 May and concludes at Twickenham stadium on 19 June.

The band will also make stops in Berlin, Marseille, Stuttgart, Prague and Warsaw, continuing the European tour they began last year.

Each night's set list will include classics such as Satisfaction and Brown Sugar, but also "a couple of unexpected tracks and randomly selected surprises", according to the press blurb.

“When I look out at the sea of people when we play all I can see is smiles," said Ronnie. "It’s heart-warming and I’m glad we make people happy. ”

You have to hand it to them, no sign of fading away here.
