We are done. This is now the page formerly known as Tuesday's Music News LIVE.

If you're hanging around then scroll down for news of the return of The King (sort of), Taylor's court victory (definitely) and Liam's second US TV debut.

Plus pineapples - and a few other random things - being off the menu at Leeds/Reading festivals.

There's also new music from Wolf Alice, this summer's must-have guitar look for all your skater boys and girls and is a verse from rapper Quavo about to be added to the American national anthem?

We'll let the late great - and now official - purple man play you out today above. Don't be confused by the red hat however - it's still the purple man.

Kick back, relax and enjoy what happens at around 3.30 in.

Then thank us tomorrow.

Finally today...

Rednex, Billy Paul, Babylon Zoo.

They all has such promise didn't they? Yet none of them got beyond that crucial first single.

There was a major problem for Jas Mann and his merry band's Spaceman, external, which, in 1996, became the fastest-selling single in the UK since The Beatles' Can't Buy Me Love.

According to a blog on BBC America, external, "When people got the record home, they discovered that it dramatically slowed down after that opening 30 seconds, and became a more grinding, swampy affair that wasn't to everyone's taste at all.

"Consequently, it also became one of the most returned singles in British chart history."

It might be the 40th anniversary of his death tomorrow, but the king of rock 'n' roll's fanbase remains strong as ever.

And now those fans will have the chance to see a new exhibition exploring the singer's life on the road in the 1970s.

Elvis on Tour: The Exhibition opens at The O2 in London on 3 November and will let you see some of his finest jumpsuits and guitars and also hear interviews with his touring band.

His ex wife Priscilla Presley said:

"[Daughter] Lisa and I are excited to share these treasured memories that cover 1969-1977 for this unique exhibition in London."

So do anything you want in that exhibition...just don't touch his blue suede shoes, external, for crying out loud.

We'll have more to commemorate the life of Elvis Aaron Presley in tomorrow's live page.

Actor and rapper Riz Ahmed aka Riz MC performed a moving rap/poem on extremism on The Tonight Show with host Jimmy Fallon.

Riz introduced the piece Sour Times on the US chat show by saying he wrote it ten years ago, adding that: "Every year, I keep hoping it’ll become irrelevant, but it seems to become more and more relevant, sadly".

There's a few swear words in there as Riz is clearly irate about the topic, so do be warned, but it's still well worth checking out on YouTube., external

So we're still reeling from the news that pineapples have been banned from Reading and Leeds Festivals this summer (scroll down).

Don't blame us, we're just the messenger. Blame Glass Animals if anyone. They claim the move is "fruitist".

With this in mind here's some other items you may not know you can't take to festivals this summer, courtesy of Newsbeat.

Our first question: Who on earth takes a catapult, external to a music fest?

Seems a little bit over the top...

We're always in and out as quickly as possible in order to stay across all the latest developments in the music world.

However it seems Ariana Grande likes to take her time in the 'restroom', as they say Stateside.

Long enough to capture herself knocking out a Spice Girls classic, external on her celly. Check it out above.

Confusion among some of her fans - the Arianators - as to what the song is has led the 24-year-old to conclude that she is officially "old".

We don't know what A4 tea means but we certainly remember these girls - all too well, Ariana...

Super-producer and Garbage drummer Butch Vig (pictured above, second left) has been speaking to 6 Music's Matt Everitt about the band's history, which began in 1993.

Butch produced Nirvana's seminal grunge album Nevermind a few years earlier before touring the world himself with Shirley Manson and co.

He spoke to Matt about the Garbage glory days ahead of the release of his new band 5 Billion In Diamonds' self-titled debut album, which arrived on Friday.

Listen above.

The good news is, it's ace.

The bad news is, that you'll have to travel to California to see artists such as Lana Del Ray, Solange, A$ap Rocky, Kelis and the UK rep Jorja Smith.

The good news again is it's in October so you've got a while to save up...

Red Hot Chili Peppers bass man Flea has compared politicians looking to cut music-education in US schools to "child abuse", saying "it's just wrong."

The bassist says he was so alarmed during a return to his old school, where he discovered the music room had no instruments, that he set up the non-profit Silverlake Conservatory of Music, external in LA.

Its intention is to facilitate "a dynamic music education and to teach beginning and accomplished musicians of all skill levels."

The Red Hot Chili Peppers will perform at their annual benefit concert on 9 September, alongside Randy Newman and Anderson .Paak.

In an interview with Rolling Stone reflecting on that school visit around 15 years ago, Flea said: "They had maybe one or two acoustic guitars, a boombox, a volunteer teacher, and they were sitting around talking about music.

"I was so disheartened. I was like, 'Where's the orchestra? Where's the band?' And I was told they cut out all the funding for that stuff. They didn't have instruments for the teachers anymore. It really shocked me."

Definitely a new piece of kit for shredding fashionistas.

Fender has teamed up with clothing firm Supreme to produce a new ice white new Fender Stratocaster.

Not the most practical looking of axes but we reckon that twinned with the right suit, it could go pretty far...

And you can listen to it above.

The London "guys and gal" popped into see Radio 1 DJ Annie Mac last night following a week off after their US tour.

We hope they got their holiday leave requests approve by HR first.

Anyway, new track Beautifully Unconventional is their third cut from forthcoming album Visions of a Life and was inspired by a friend of singer Ellie imagining them as being in a dark American comedy from the late 80s.

The frontwoman also confessed that she likes to take on a "demonic status" on a Saturday night...

BBC 6 Music

Madness singer Suggs has been speaking to Steve Lamacq for his Classic Album series, to discuss the making of the seminal debut LP One Step Beyond.

In between anecdotes about hanging out in 1970s Camden and working with bands like The Specials, Suggs explained why he almost didn’t make the band.

The tip for any aspiring singers is to make sure you make rehearsals.

You can hear the whole interview on Wednesday.

Devon space rock trio Muse have revealed that we should not hold our breath for a new album from them anytime soon.

That's not to say that they aren't making anymore brilliant apocalyptic rock anthems... just that they feel the concept of 'the album' is becoming old hat.

Bassist Chris Wolstenholme told Music Feeds, external:

He added: "I know at some point we will do another album but I think it’s a nice thing to do in the meantime so the fans feel like they’re still getting something; we haven’t completely disappeared off the face of the planet."

Good of them to keep us in the loop.

Not focusing on making another album has obviously freed them up to do other creative things...like a Cassette Boy-style cover of their recent single Dig Down.

Check it above.

Over the last two years, the Migos rapper has popped up with a guest verse in, to our count, around twenty tracks by other artists.

But this one could be his biggest gig yet - an online petition to have him add a verse to the US national anthem, the Star-Spangled Banner is close to reaching a goal of 7,500 signatures.

Sean Gray of Eminence, Kentucky, who created the petition on Change.org, external said: "He's a feature on everything else, so why not?"

Think it will never happen? The petition has been directed towards President Donald J Trump. Just saying.

As for Quavo himself, he seems to be all for the idea...

We've got an interesting singles chart battle this week in the form of Dua Lipa v Pink.

Should either of them make it all the way to the top spot on Friday, they'll be the first female solo act to top the official chart in the UK for almost two years.

Dua Lipa is currently nosing ahead in the midweeks by around 500 combined sales with her latest single New Rules with Pink's return heralded by her new track What About Us, external.

The last female solo artist to top the chart was Adele, who debuted at number 1 with Hello in October 2015.

2015? Yikes.

Their parties could still be spoiled by this week's number one Feels by Calvin Harris ft. Pharrell Williams, Katy Perry and Big Sean which is still just over a thousand sales behind Dua.

In the albums chart, its the tale of two giants as a new Elvis Presley compilation takes on Ed Sheeran's Divide.

Wednesday marks forty years since the King (pictured above) died at the age of 42 and The 50 Greatest Hits is just a few hundred copies ahead of Ed.

The late Glen Campbell is at three with his final album Adios, with Rainbow, Kesha's first album in five years at four.

It's all to play for going into the final three days of the week....

He was, as we all know and as you can see above, a fan of a the colour 'redblue', more commonly know as 'purple', and now Prince will be honoured with his own shade.

The Pantone Matching System (PMS), which organises colours used in printing and graphics and design packages, have been working with his estate on a new hue to honour the late musician, who died last year.

Pantone's new purple shade is called Love Symbol #2 and was inspired by his signature purple Yamaha piano.

In a statement on behalf of Prince's estate, Troy Carter said: "The colour purple was synonymous with who Prince was and will always be.

"This is an incredible way for his legacy to live on forever."

Purple shade...Purrrrrple shade.

LG has had an eventful time on his first tour of North America, hasn't he?

He's been denied 'cigs' in shop, stopped a show after three and a half songs in Chicago and enjoyed an impromptu banjo jam in an Irish pub in Montreal.

Now he's made his US television debut.

The 44-year-old ex Oasis frontman demonstrated his total dedication to indoor cagoule wearing once again while performing his first single Wall of Glass - from his forthcoming album As You Were - on Stephen Colbert's show last night.

Check it out above.

He's also becoming somewhat of a gonzo Twitter journalist and enjoyed another manic (and often sweary) online rant last night which included over 20 tweets in the space of a few hours.

In it, he appeared to big up his two sons Gene and Lennon (above), as well as Liverpool band The Real People. He also challenged fellow Scouse rocker Lee Mavers of The La's to a songwriting duel, after proclaiming himself to be "the best songwriter in the world" (below).

That's a world that still includes brother Noel, by the way...

That's the bad news for Pina Colada fans that we warned you about earlier.

Pineapples have appeared on a list of items banned from this year's Reading and Leeds Festivals, alongside fireworks and weapons.

And do you want to know to blame for this ruling?

These guys...

Organisers said it was because fans of Oxford indie band Glass Animals bring hundreds of the fruit to its gigs, in a nod to song Pork Soda which includes the lyrics "pineapples are in my head".

Drummer Joe Seaward said it would be a "challenge" to get in with pineapples.

"Anyone who wasn't bringing a pineapple definitely is now," he said.

"It's fruitist. Watermelons are fine, but not pineapples?"

Fruitism within the music industry? Whatever next...

A spokesman for Reading and Leeds Festivals told the BBC: "Organisers were a little concerned about hundreds of pineapples turning up on site so decided to ask fans not to bring them along."

He added: "The tongue may be slightly in cheek on this one."

First up today is the news that Taylor Swift has won her sexual assault case against ex-radio DJ David Mueller, who she said had groped her following a concert four years ago.

He assaulted her by grabbing her bottom beneath her skirt during a photo shoot in 2013, a jury in Denver, Colorado, found.

She was awarded a symbolic $1 (that's 77p to you and me) in damages that she had sought.

Mr Mueller had originally tried to sue the pop star, saying that her claims had cost him his job. But that was thrown out of court by a judge last week.

A jury also rejected similar claims he made against the singer's mother and publicist.

Following the verdict, she said
