We're off.

Thanks for joining us today. We hope that the new-found bromance between Liam and Coldplay thrilled you as much as it did us.

Scroll down for why Usher didn't make it despite being on the bill, Bill Murray's memorable first ever (professional) singing gig, Riri sticking it to the body-shamers and Bob Dylan's beat Nobel speech.

But before you do that, with Glasto on the horizon, why not have a go at our Which Glastonbury Stage Are You? Quiz.

You can tell a lot about a person by this...

...not that we're judging.

We're getting a real warm fuzzy feeling inside the MNL office today on this rainy Tuesday.

After Liam Gallagher said he'd changed his mind about not liking the Coldplay boys (scroll down) the band have now reciprocated thanking the former Oasis frontman for their "awesome" Live Forever collab at Sunday's One Love Manchester.

Liam criticised his brother Noel (above) for not returning from holiday himself to perform at their home city's big benefit gig.

However CM - or Chris Martin to you and I - also thanks the older Gallagher for giving his "blessing and encouragement" for them to sing another of his "incredible songs" Don't Look Book In Anger on the night as well.

We dread to think what Liam makes of the first 3/4 of this quadruple tweet but it seems that he and Coldplay at least are cool.

Never get in the middle of a family feud Chris.

So incredibly the 50th - yes 50th! - series of Jools Holland's musical extravaganza has come to an end.

From Ed Sheeran to Sigrid (above), via Lorde and Ibibio Sound Machine, there is something for everyone on this list.

Glastonbury bosses have warned ticket holders to expect extra security checks this year in light of the recent terrorist attacks in Manchester and London.

All ticket holders will be subject to extra searches of their vehicles, their bags and their person, and so organisers have asked visitors to pack as lightly as they can.

The statement reads: "This will make entrance slower than in previous years. Please be patient if there are queues, and please cooperate with any security requests and all searches."

There's a headline we never thought we would have to write.

In the past he's described singer Chris Martin as looking "like a geography teacher" and his band as "a bunch of students" but now it seems all is forgiven.

The former Oasis frontman was backed by the Devon mega-band for a surprise rendition of Live Forever near the end of the One Love Manchester gig on Sunday evening.

Now speaking to a Dutch radio station at Pinkpop Festival in the Netherlands the Manc singer said: "They've never sounded so good have they Coldplay?

This truly warms the cockles of our heart.

Here's a life lesson for you all - if you take a pop at Rihanna then don't expect her to take it lying down.

The singer has responded to a blogger who body-shamed her on a sports website, saying she looked like "she's in a sumo suit".

The singer's fans also leapt to her defence, leading to the writer of the article claiming that he is now being "cyber-bullied".

Now you wouldn't necessarily have Bastille down as the most wildest of bands around but they've just released a fairly racy video for their track Glory.

The song is taken from their 2016 album Wild World.

And while we don't advocate either stealing a car, throwing your phone out of the window of a moving vehicle or breaking into someone else's pool - this does still look like a lot of fun.

But did any of it actually happen Dan?

See for yourself below.

While Liam Gallagher rocked up at the One Love Manchester gig unannounced, one artist originally on the bill was notable for his mysterious absence.

While he wasn't there in person, the singer, sporting bleached-blonde curls, also left a video message below saying "my heart is with you Manchester."

In one of the more high brow debates raging in rock 'n' roll - former Pink Floyd singer Roger Waters has responded to Thom Yorke over the Radiohead singer's frustrated comments last week regarding his band's forthcoming gig in the Israeli capital.

In April, more than 50 prominent cultural figures, including Waters and filmmaker Ken Loach, signed a petition, external urging the Oxford outfit to boycott their planned gig in Tel Aviv under the BDS (Boycott, Divestment and Sanctions) movement, external that began in 2005.

Thom hit back last week in The Rolling Stone, saying: "It's really upsetting that artists I respect, think we are not capable of making a moral decision ourselves after all these years.

"It's deeply distressing that they choose to, rather than engage with us personally, throw [stuff] at us in public"

Now Roger has had his say, claiming Yorke's version "doesn't tell the whole story" and that he had "misinterpreted my attempt to start a conversation as a threat".

Pointing to yesterday's "50th anniversary of the occupation of Palestine by Israel", Waters said: "Fifty years living under military occupation. Fifty years for a people with no civil rights. Fifty years of no recourse to the law. Fifty years of apartheid."

He tweeted: "What an amazing night last night pure love vibrations nobody comes close to Manchester love forever LG x".

Love forever, see what he did there?

Bob Dylan has finally delivered his Nobel Prize for literature lecture.

The veteran star won the 8m krona ($900,000 / £727,000) prize in October but did not collect the award until the end of March at a private event.

Dylan had until 10 June to deliver the lecture or forfeit the prize money but has now issued his taped lecture, which cites Buddy Holly as an influence.

Fair play to Bob who doesn't do things ordinarily - this is a 25-minute long beat poem with a piano accompaniment.

Alongside the influence of Buddy Holly, the veretan singer mentioned the books Moby Dick, The Odyssey and All Quiet on the Western Front.

"The speech is extraordinary and, as one might expect, eloquent," said Sara Danius of the Swedish Academy.

Listen to his full speech below.

Our entertainment reporter Ian Youngs was there and has provided a quick look back at some of the night's more poignant moments.
